Chapter 191: Why is she here?

Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Why is she here?

Ye Yunyi looked at the Fire Flood Dragon, a savage grin spreading across his face.

’This thing really has some nerve!’

’It can’t win, so it thinks it can just turn back!’

’It wants to go rest and recover?!’

’If I let this thing get away...’

’...won’t I miss out on all the good stuff inside that volcano?’

He swung his axe!

After landing the blow,

Ye Yunyi shot straight up into the air!

He carved a path upward,

his Battle Axe falling again and again,

shattering the Fire Flood Dragon’s Scale Armor and slicing into its flesh!

"Lord Ye, what is he doing?!"

Beside him, Gao Zhen watched the scene, his heart pounding in shock.

’The objective was already achieved!’

’The beast couldn’t take any more of a beating!’

’It wanted to retreat!’

’But Lord Ye is still relentlessly pursuing it!’

However...

This scene!

As they watched Ye Yunyi tear through the Fire Flood Dragon’s Scale Armor,

the corners of their mouths twitched.

’That weapon in Lord Ye’s hands... it must be a divine weapon!’

"Lord Ye is going for the kill! He’s trying to slay this Exotic Beast!"

"My god, that’s terrifying! Lord Ye actually wants to kill this King-level Beast!"

"I doubt even a King General would be this reckless!"

The comments flew one after another.

At this point, the Patriarchs were numb to Ye Yunyi’s decisions.

The Fire Flood Dragon, meanwhile, let out an even more ferocious roar.

It had originally planned to retreat and recover.

After all, it couldn’t catch Ye Yunyi and was just getting worn down by him.

Retreating was the better option.

But!

Now!

It had no intention of turning back!

Now, it finally had a chance to catch Ye Yunyi!

To annihilate this human!

ROAR!

The Fire Flood Dragon roared again,

then charged toward Ye Yunyi!

「Dozens of miles away...」

A group of people was galloping at full speed.

It was none other than the Eighth King General, Shangguan Yulan, along with several high-ranking officers of the Alliance Guard Army.

Shangguan Yulan was currently fuming.

She goes on one trip, and when she returns, she’s suddenly "Ye Yunyi’s woman"?

’How absurd!’

’Absolutely preposterous!’

’That guy must be the one spreading these ridiculous rumors!’

’When I get back this time, I’m going to teach him a good lesson!’

As Shangguan Yulan thought this, she paused.

She recalled how Ye Yunyi had taken her punch head-on last time.

’How am I supposed to teach him a lesson, anyway?’

’I’m not even sure I can beat him.’

’And if we make too big of a scene, it’ll be bad for the barrier.’

’This is...!’

For a moment, Shangguan Yulan was at a loss.

Still!

’I have to teach that guy a lesson this time!’

she thought.

The next moment,

a roar echoed from the distance.

’What...?’

’What was that roar?!’

After that single roar,

even the Exotic Beasts they were riding came to a halt.

"King General!"

A high-ranking officer behind her listened to the beast’s cry, then looked at his own mount. "I’m afraid there’s a situation over there!"

Shangguan Yulan made a snap decision. "Let’s go! Head that way!"

Just as they were about to set off, they saw several figures emerge from the jungle.

Seeing Shangguan Yulan, the figures froze.

Then,

it was as if they had seen their savior.

"King General!"

The group hurried over.

Seeing their state, Shangguan Yulan asked, "What’s wrong? Why are you all in such a panic?"

"Over there... a King-level Beast has appeared!"

Those words struck like a clap of thunder on a clear day.

Everyone’s eyes went wide, scarcely able to believe what they had just heard.

A King-level Beast!

It actually appeared here!

Then, they listened to the group’s brief, hurried explanation.

So that was it!

The recent volcanic activity was caused by the movements of this King-level Beast!

No wonder all those other Exotic Beasts had scattered in a panic. Feeling the power of this King-level Beast, it would have been harder for them not to flee for their lives.

"What’s the situation now?!"

Shangguan Yulan asked urgently.

If a beast like this got close to the barrier, it would be a disaster!

"Lord Ye is currently locked in battle with the beast! As for everyone else, they can’t even get close. Vice-General Gao Zhen fought it, but he was defeated and lost his ability to fight in just one or two moves. He was nearly killed!"

Hearing this,

everyone’s hearts trembled.

Gao Zhen!

Was almost killed?!

’In that case...’

’with our level of strength...’

’...we probably won’t be of any use!’

’The King General is the only one who can help!’

As Shangguan Yulan listened, she thought, ’Just as I expected. When I’m not around, they still have to rely on Ye Yunyi’s strength!’

’But Ye Yunyi probably can’t hold out for much longer!’

’I have to get there quickly!’

"Keep up!"

With that, Shangguan Yulan stomped her foot.

She launched herself directly off the back of her mount.

The next instant,

she appeared atop the canopy of a giant tree a hundred meters away.

Then, with another step,

the thick branch she stood on shattered!

It exploded into splinters,

which rained down from the sky.

The men behind her watched the scene.

’Such speed!’

"Come on, let’s follow her!"

And so, they all hurried to catch up.

「A short while later...」

Back at the volcano,

Gao Zhen and the others were watching the scene.

Their eyes were wide with fury and anxiety.

By now, Ye Yunyi had already gone several rounds with the Fire Flood Dragon.

The Fire Flood Dragon’s body was covered in wounds.

However,

Ye Yunyi had also been swatted away a few times.

Even his clothes, made from High-Level Exotic Beast Hide, were starting to look tattered.

"You beast!"

Ye Yunyi glared at the Fire Flood Dragon before him, his anger flaring.

He pushed his Nine Nether Qi to its absolute limit!

His other Skills were similarly activated!

In an instant, a metallic sheen erupted from Ye Yunyi’s body.

Then,

he stomped his foot!

BOOM!

With that single stomp,

the entire mountain began to tremble!

A deep crater appeared where Ye Yunyi had just been standing.

Then, Ye Yunyi swung his Giant Axe, aiming for the Fire Flood Dragon’s other eye!

ROAR!

In response,

the Fire Flood Dragon swiped its claws at Ye Yunyi.

Ye Yunyi brought his axe down fiercely!

It tore right through the Scale Armor and flesh!

Then,

Ye Yunyi swung his body around

and went for the eye!

The Fire Flood Dragon understood Ye Yunyi’s intent.

Seeing the axe descending with furious force,

it immediately shut its eye!

SQUELCH!

The sound of tearing flesh echoed.

The Fire Flood Dragon, which had shut its eye to a world of darkness,

suddenly found that light had appeared before it!

Its eyelid had been sliced open!

And then,

it saw a fist hurtling toward its eye!

Ye Yunyi’s fist was as heavy as a mountain!

One punch!

He threw it with a piercing whistle as it cut through the air!

THUMP!

The moment his fist made contact with the eyeball, a sickening pop resounded.

Then,

the Fire Flood Dragon’s eye deformed!

And then,

it exploded completely!

AWOOO!

The Fire Flood Dragon felt an intense, searing pain.

It instantly threw its head back and shrieked at the sky!

’Success!’

Ye Yunyi’s attack had landed.

He looked at the scene before him.

’Now that I’ve blinded both of its eyes...’

’...I can deal with it as easily as slaughtering cattle!’

In a sense, Ye Yunyi had already slain the Exotic Beast.

’This King-level Beast, and all the treasures inside that mountain, are all mine!’

Ye Yunyi grew excited at the thought.

But the next moment,

Ye Yunyi glanced into the distance, and his expression changed!

’Someone’s coming?!’

’Why is that woman back?!’
