Danwu God Emperor

Ye Lou's actions immediately made everyone's eyes pop out. Even the two elders of the Tian family were stunned. They had thought that Ye Lou's target was them and had already taken precautions.

The most shocked person was Le Yangyun. Although he and Ling Yuan had stopped fighting and were watching from there, they never expected that Ye Lou would turn around halfway and target him. Without any prior defense, he had no ability to defend himself.

Le Yangyun raised his arms to block in front of his chest and hastily made a move, but Ye Lou's attack was overwhelming. Even if he tried his best to defend, he might not be able to cope, let alone without any prior preparation.

"puff!"

Le Yangyun was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall behind him. His arms were numb, his internal organs were churning, and his chest was caved in.

"Ye Lou, what's wrong with you?" Le Yangyun stood up, clutching his chest, and roared.

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Lou's gaze was firm, radiating a chilling aura. He looked at Le Yangyun and a cold smile appeared on his lips. "I'll kill you first."

Those around them were all baffled. Le Yangyun was clearly on his side, so what was Ye Lou thinking, that he would attack Le Yangyun? Was he repaying kindness with enmity? Or was there some secret behind it?

None of the onlookers understood Ye Lou's intention, and even Mu Wanrou looked completely bewildered.

Ye Lou attacked again, his palm surging with spiritual energy, which transformed into a stream of light that shot towards Le Yangyun. The two elders behind him also attacked in succession, although they were targeting Ye Lou's back, their determination to kill Le Yangyun remained unshaken.

The latter's blood and qi were surging, and he was completely unable to cope with this palm strike. A surge of anger rose inexplicably, and his unwilling eyes seemed capable of killing. If he were hit by this palm strike, he would be seriously injured even if he did not die.

"Brother Ling, help me!" In his moment of crisis, Le Yangyun had no choice but to plead for help from Ling Yuan.

Before the other party could finish speaking, Ling Yuan had already rushed forward, seemingly already prepared to rescue Le Yangyun. Ye Lou let out a cold snort, further confirming his thoughts.

This Leyangyun is indeed well hidden!

"boom!"

Ling Yuan and Le Yangyun attacked simultaneously, causing the void to explode, but they still couldn't completely break through Ye Lou's attack. Although Le Yangyun also had the strength of the fourth level of the Spirit Guiding Realm, Ye Lou's spiritual energy was stronger, and even without the support of the Great Evolution Ten Thousand Demons Scripture and the Ice Soul Divine Seal, he was still unstoppable.

As for Ling Yuan, who was at the second level of the Spirit Guiding Realm, his role was negligible; even with their combined attack, they still couldn't turn the tide.

"Not good, save Ling Yuan first!" The two elders' eyes showed urgency. Two afterimages flashed through the air, and in an instant, they appeared in front of Le Yangyun and Ling Yuan, dissolving the remaining spiritual energy.

Both Le Yangyun and Ling Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. The former stepped forward. "Ye Lou, I've helped you so much, but you repay kindness with enmity and try to kill me. I was blind. Today, I will help Ling Yuan capture you and hand you over to the Dong family."

"Le Yangyun, still pretending here?" Ye Lou sneered. "I suspected you before, but I didn't expect Ling Yuan to actually help you just now. Do you think all these people here are blind?"

Le Yangyun looked extremely embarrassed and was speechless for a moment.

Ye Lou's reminder made the onlookers realize they weren't fools. Recalling the scene just now, they were horrified. It seemed that Ling Yuan had really helped Le Yangyun. One second they were evenly matched, and the next they were enemies.

Could it be that the number one genius of Yunshui Town is really so cunning?

"When did you find out?" Le Yangyun finally felt relieved. Since he had been exposed, there was no need to hide it anymore. In fact, he had recognized Ye Lou from the beginning. Ye Lou was exactly the same as the portrait Ling Yuan had shown him. However, he did not know Ye Lou's true strength, so he could only show goodwill by lying in wait by his side.

"I felt something was off about you from the very beginning. We've never met before, yet you kept trying to be friendly. It's mainly because of your fake, pitiful smile, which is probably your most confident asset. And every time we stop, there's danger. Did you really think I would suspect Wanrou?"

Le Yangyun nodded and sneered, "So you suspected it all along. That's right, I've wanted to kill you every time. In Yunshui Town, I wanted to drug you, but you didn't drink a drop. Tian Lin underestimated you and only brought one elder with him, so I figured he wouldn't be a match for you. I didn't have any hope either. It was indeed me who notified Brother Ling here. Did you really think that with the four of us dealing with you, you could escape?"

"Le Yangyun, I never expected you to be so despicable. We even considered you a friend." Although Mu Wanrou didn't like him at first, she never thought that Le Yangyun would betray them.

"Miss Mu, why do you say that about me?" Mu Wanrou's words greatly disappointed him. "Ling Yuan and I have been friends for many years. Ye Lou cut out Brother Ling's tongue at Wanbao Pavilion, and I acted on his behalf. How can that be considered despicable?"

"As for Miss Mu, the Ye family is now in ruins. Ye Lou does have some talent, but can he escape the Dong family's pursuit? There are also people from the Ouyang family and Ding family fort waiting for him in Guanghui City. How long he can live is unknown."

"Although I, Le Yangyun, am not exceptionally talented, may I ask you in what way I am inferior to him?"

So he had always harbored feelings for Wanrou? Ye Lou was quite shocked. Although he suspected that Le Yangyun had ulterior motives, he had never noticed his feelings for Mu Wanrou. Every time he saw Le Yangyun looking at Mu Wanrou, his gaze was as indifferent as water. He never expected that he had hidden it so deeply.

Even Ling Yuan was impressed by him, realizing that there was another layer of meaning behind his help as well as that between friends.

"You're not worthy to be my man!" Mu Wanrou said without hesitation. "Even if Ye Lou becomes a cripple, you still can't compare to him."

Ye Lou's heart trembled, and he turned around abruptly. These words deeply warmed his heart, and also felt like a needle piercing Le Yangyun's heart. Even if Ye Lou becomes a cripple, am I not worthy? Le Yangyun's fists clenched involuntarily, and his body trembled with anger.

"Since I can't have your heart, I'll have your body." Le Yangyun finally steadied his breathing, stood up and said, "Brother Ling, today I will help you take down Ye Lou, but as for Miss Mu, you must not harm her in the slightest."

"Everyone loves beauty. A beauty like Miss Mu and Brother Le are truly a perfect match." Ling Yuan looked at Mu Wanrou with a confident smile and said, "Miss Mu, Brother Le is the number one genius in Yunshui Town. In terms of strength and background, he is far superior to Ye Lou. You should really make a wise choice again."

“He doesn’t even deserve to be chosen by me!” Mu Wanrou said without hesitation.

“Once I kill Ye Lou, you'll have no choice.” Ling Yuan then turned to look at Ye Lou, the longsword in his hand enveloped in spiritual energy and beginning to hum. “The humiliation of having your tongue cut out that day, I will make you repay a hundredfold today.”

Ling Yuan suddenly made a move, his longsword sizzling on the ground before suddenly stabbing into the void. A dazzling light shot out from the tip of the sword, aiming straight for Ye Lou's brow.

"You defeated opponent, get out!"

Ye Lou didn't even use his palm; he simply roared, shattering the opponent's spiritual energy. The surging residual power condensed and continued to blast towards him relentlessly. Ling Yuan's current strength at the second level of the Spirit Induction Realm was no match for Ye Lou.

Ling Yuan was able to act so recklessly only because of the two elders standing in front of him. With a wave of their sleeves, Ye Lou's palm strike shattered, and the void stabilized once again.

"With your meager abilities, you dare to be so arrogant? I will fight you!" the two elders said in unison.

"Hmph, that good-for-nothing Ling Yuan can only rely on you two old bastards. He relied on Yu Tianyi at Wanbao Pavilion, and he relies on the two of you here. I am about the same age as him. My abilities are nothing more than crushing an ant. Besides, you two old guys are nothing special. Do you think I would be afraid of you when I fight two against one?"

Ye Lou stood there, exuding an extraordinary aura, like a king surveying the world, looking down on everyone with arrogance.

To others, Ye Lou was far too arrogant, but he had the right to be arrogant, and his words were not exaggerated. Ling Yuan was indeed like an ant in front of him, and was never worthy of fighting him from beginning to end.

Although everyone agreed with Ye Lou's statement, they dared not utter a word in response. This was Lanxi Town, and if they accidentally let slip a secret, they would lose their lives.

"Let me take you down first, cut out your tongue, and see if you can still be so eloquent."

The two elders looked grim. Ling Yuan was one of the pride of their Ling family, and to be ridiculed like this was a slap in the face to their Ling family. Without saying anything more to Ye Lou, they launched a punch and a palm strike, the fist shadows and palm prints densely covering every corner.

What's even more frightening is that the locations they were attacking overlapped. Normally, such a dense barrage of attacks wouldn't be very powerful, but when a palm strike was unleashed, another punch would follow, doubling the power.

Ye Lou's eyes were sharp and keen. Although he could clearly see the speed at which they were attacking, he could only activate the Great Evolution Myriad Demon Scripture to protect himself from this dense and domineering attack.

A complete upheaval!

A ground-to-ground strike!

The "Heaven and Earth Overturning" technique was originally a wide-range attack from the Nanbi Dao Palm. With the blessing of the "Great Evolution Ten Thousand Demons Scripture," Ye Lou unleashed several palm strikes in succession, directly deflecting the oncoming attacks, which surprised the two elders.

Although they were evenly matched with Ye Lou at the beginning, they believed it was because they hadn't used their full strength. But now they had used most of their strength, yet they still couldn't defeat him. They were afraid that even if they used their full strength, Ye Lou would still have some trump cards to play.

The onlookers finally confirmed the rumors: the Ye family's prodigy was not just a name without substance.

"Elders, are you unable to subdue him?" Back at Wanbao Pavilion, Ye Lou couldn't even fight Yu Tianyi. How long has it been? Are you sure you can't even defeat him, Elders?

The silence of the two elders was the best answer.

“I have a plan,” Le Yangyun said with a gloomy face.

"Brother Yue, please speak!"

“Although the two elders cannot subdue Ye Lou, they should be able to keep him occupied. Brother Ling and I will capture Miss Mu and then force Ye Lou to submit, how about that?”

Ling Yuan's eyes lit up. "Brother Le, what a brilliant plan!"
