At that moment, Ye Kurong was covered in filth, an utterly wretched sight!
In his eyes, as he looked at Lin Yi, surged intense surprise and fury.
"Damned trash, I swear I’ll make your death miserable..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Lin Yi didn’t bother exchanging words with him and, instead, drove his Heavenly Demon Dharma Image to release a ferocious might, wielding the Meteor Sword to viciously slash at him!
The sword light rapidly grew in Ye Kurong’s eyes!
Desperately, Ye Kurong made hand seals, and behind him, a colossal shadow of a sacred tree appeared, stretching up to the heavens and earth to block the strike from the Heavenly Demon Dharma Image!
Accompanied by a thunderous explosion that shook heaven and earth, a shocking blast wave swept out, turning the vicinity into ruins, even affecting the prohibitions within the city!
"Hey, isn’t that Ye Kurong’s Holy Wood Dharma?"
"He’s even been forced to use the Holy Wood Dharma Image. Who on earth is he fighting?"
Such a big commotion also alarmed many Martial Artists in the city. As a head of the King List in Central Province and a direct descendant of the Ancestor Dragon Sacred Dynasty Master, many Martial Artists in Ancestor Dragon City were familiar with his Holy Wood Dharma Image, and naturally recognized it instantly.
Could it be another young king rival who has caused such a stir fighting with Ye Kurong?
"Damned trash, you have completely enraged me..."
Ye Kurong, cornered by Lin Yi to the point of disarray, had his clothes torn and tattered, far from his previous spirited appearance.
He had come to force Lin Yi away from Lu Qingcheng, yet almost got suppressed by Lin Yi instead. How could he swallow such humiliation?
But just as he was preparing for a life-or-death battle with Lin Yi, the sound of breaking wind came from all around.
The earlier battle had triggered the city’s prohibitions.
The Imperial Army of Ancestor Dragon City was already on the move, rushing over!
Engaging in a private brawl within Ancestor Dragon City was a serious crime; even as the Master’s grandson, he did not wish to be taken away by the Imperial Army, and especially did not want to be caught vulnerable just before the start of the King List battle.
"Lin Yi, you’ll regret clashing with me today!"
Ye Kurong glared at Lin Yi, then, with his face filled with reluctance, left the place.
Lin Yi and Lu Qingcheng also quickly vacated the scene.
But Lu Qingcheng seemed a bit worried, "Ye Kurong is one of the four Great Demons of Central Province, and behind him, he has the backing of the Grandmaster Mansion. Offending him could spell big trouble."
"They’ve already walked all over me; how can you expect me not to resist?"
Lin Yi watched the direction Ye Kurong had left in, and a sharp glint suddenly passed in his eyes, "If I don’t deal with him, I wouldn’t even count as a man."
"What’s more, I’ve already offended Hao Yanluo, the Nine Nether Demon Body. I don’t mind making another enemy in Ye Kurong, the Wood Spirit Treasure Body."
"What, you’ve offended Hao Yanluo too?"
Lu Qingcheng’s eyes widened in disbelief. Among the four Great Demons of Central Province, Lin Yi had now offended two, and despite already having offended Hao Yanluo, he dared to confront Ye Kurong head-on — this guy was unbelievably bold!
"It’s more than just an ordinary offense."
Lin Yi told Lu Qingcheng about how he had beaten Hao Yanluo black and blue, cutting down two Venerables of the Jiuyou Demon Hall.
Lu Qingcheng never expected that before this, Lin Yi had already given the renowned Nine Nether Demon Body a good thrashing. No wonder Lin Yi showed no fear facing Ye Kurong, engaging in a fight without a second thought!
"Jiuyou Demon Hall and the Grandmaster Mansion, you, a newcomer with no background, have offended two great powers of Central Province all at once."
"After the King List ends, I’ll return to the Eastern Domain. Who would bother to stick around and grind it out with them in Central Province?"
Lin Yi curled his lip dismissively. Once he moved to the Ancestor Dragon Sacred Dynasty to call for reinforcements, he would need to return to the Eastern Domain to face the great war with the Undying Blood Clan. Where would he find the time to waste on these two?
"But before that, let’s have some fun as the number one on the King List!"
The corner of Lin Yi’s mouth lifted into a grin as he looked towards Lu Qingcheng, "If I become number one on the King List, that should deter others from targeting you, right?"
"Yeah, that’s decided then."
"Don’t oversimplify it!"
Lu Qingcheng glared at Lin Yi, who made it seem as though the number one spot on the King List was already in his pocket, but in reality, it was far from being that simple.
"The current number one on the King List is none other than Cang Wuji, with the Cangtian Tyrant Body!"
"He is from the Imperial Family lineage of the Ancestor Dragon Holy Dynasty, the premier Heavenly Pride of the Imperial Family! To take the top spot, you must surmount this huge hurdle."
"But Cang Wuji, renowned for his domineering nature, stands unrivaled among the younger generation. Even the likes of Ye Kurong and Hao Yanluo have been defeated by him, unable to surpass the Cangtian Tyrant Body."
However, upon hearing this, Lin Yi’s eyes sparkled with excitement, "So the Cangtian Tyrant Body is that domineering. Now that you’ve mentioned it, I’m even more eager to fight him."
"Let’s see whether his Domineering Body is stronger or my Sword Body is sharper!"
With the Cangtian Tyrant Body towering above the rest, suppressing a group with heavens-defying physiques and reigning supreme over Central Province, there must be something exceptional about him. But his Chaos Sword Body was not to be underestimated — as an Ancient Physique, the potential of the Chaos Sword Body was constantly being unlocked, growing ever stronger!
Lin Yi hoped that through a battle with Cang Wuji, he could further unleash the dormant potential of his Chaos Sword Body!
