Chapter 2140 - 2136: Forced to Fight
Master Ming Ye’s intention was that Li Zhaojun would stand by her side. Although her words were filled with provocation and sowed discord, once she spoke them, they inevitably planted seeds of resentment in the hearts of many women, including Zhao Lina.
There is an unavoidable issue: previously, Li Zhaojun had been manipulated and had caused harm to the women around Ye Fan. Though she claims to be helping Ye Fan this time, there is no guarantee that she can actually offer him any substantial assistance. Everyone carries their own sentiments in this matter, and it’s only due to Ye Fan’s prominent status that the women maintain a cordial yet distant attitude towards Li Zhaojun.
"I am no longer a person of Xuanyue Palace. Don’t try to pull any tricks with me here. Ming Ye, I have no tolerance for you. If you don’t leave, don’t blame me for taking action!" Li Zhaojun didn’t want to be constrained by Ming Ye anymore, so she sternly scolded Ming Ye, hoping he would sensibly leave.
Ming Ye sneered, "What Ye Fan took from me, I will take back from the women around him. That’s fair, isn’t it!"
With that, Ming Ye was already prepared to strike. He chose not to attack passively but was ready to initiate an attack. This made Li Zhaojun realize that she might not be able to defeat Ming Ye in one fell swoop. She was unaware of what Ming Ye had experienced in the past, and perhaps now his skills had reached an unprecedented level.
"Disciple, if you regret now, I will still spare you. If you don’t regret it... then I will strike you now, and you will be completely defeated by me. I will kill you to make Ye Fan experience what pain truly is!" Ming Ye had a sinister smile on his face, as if victory was already within his grasp.
It was at this moment that Zhao Lina and others realized that the rift between Ming Ye and Li Zhaojun was indeed deep. If the two sides went to war directly, the woman’s skill level was truly terrifying. For Zhao Lina and the others, defeating Ming Ye seemed out of the question; even self-preservation was a tremendous challenge.
Li Zhaojun angrily retorted, "It’s not certain who will emerge victorious. Let’s see if you really have the ability!"
Having said that, Li Zhaojun raised her arm, drawing upon a surge of power. This power was the result of her diligent cultivation. At this moment, she could only engage in a desperate battle with Ming Ye, unsure if she could even defeat him.
"Little girl, how foolishly overconfident, daring to challenge me. You’re clearly tired of living!" Ming Ye, with a cold laugh, initiated an attack on Li Zhaojun. This time, Ming Ye showed no mercy, attacking directly.
Though their skill levels hadn’t reached the heights of Ye Fan, their battle would have significant repercussions for Earth, possibly plunging the planet into disaster.
Li Zhaojun not only had to contend with Ming Ye, but she also had to consider Earth’s safety. She thought to herself, "I can’t let anything happen to Earth. With Ye Fan not here, if disaster strikes while he’s away, how will I explain it to him when he returns? This woman is malicious, likely aware that Ye Fan is off Earth, hence her brazen actions. I mustn’t let her succeed!"
Li Zhaojun’s heart was filled with firm resolve as she aimed to thwart Ming Ye’s wicked plans, although she still wasn’t fully aware of what Ming Ye intended to do.
"Boom!" The collision of their powers formed a small spatial vortex, distorting the surrounding air and even space. In an instant, it generated a force of spatial collapse, absorbing all the surrounding air within. Fortunately, Li Zhaojun responded swiftly, forming a sealed field with her skills, preventing the explosion’s force from expanding and affecting Earth.
Ming Ye commented, "Not bad, little girl. Your skills have improved. It seems Ye Fan has often helped you. Having a man like Ye Fan by your side is fundamentally your mistake. How can a woman fully depend on a man? I’m going to correct this thinking and help you realize that leaving Ye Fan is the most correct choice!"
Just as Ming Ye prepared to launch his attack, Zhao Lina and Qin Mengyao readied themselves to strike. The difference in skills between these women and Ming Ye was vast. Ming Ye’s skills were outstanding, even among Immortals, while Zhao Lina and the others had yet to reach ascension. Unless they used Li Zhaojun’s method to form an array, they were not qualified to battle Ming Ye.
"Move aside!" Before Li Zhaojun launched a new round of attacks against Ming Ye, she shouted loudly, intending to make Zhao Lina and the others understand that this battle was not one they should be involved in.
Min Shang, as Ye Fan’s second ordinary human female companion to cross ascension, had skills second only to Li Zhaojun among the women. Li Zhaojun needed only to use her mind to transmit her intention to Min Shang, who could then act according to Li Zhaojun’s words and protect Zhao Lina and the others.
"Sister, while you battle this demon, I’ll take care of them!" Min Shang appeared resolute. Even in such moments, she did not panic and swiftly arranged the defense array. As long as Ming Ye didn’t intentionally destroy Earth, the defense array formed by her and Li Zhaojun would maintain Earth’s tranquility.
Seeing Min Shang’s greatly improved skills, Ming Ye sneered, "Two little girls, to have received so much help from Ye Fan. Ye Fan’s heart is surely to assist you against me."
At this time, Ming Ye’s emotions were twisted. She disregarded any reasoning, feeling that everyone was targeting her, even believing that Ye Fan was against her. Therefore, she couldn’t allow this situation to continue. She wanted those who "betrayed" her to experience a path to ruin.
"You’ve brought this upon yourselves!" Ming Ye shouted furiously, suddenly attacking Li Zhaojun. This time, she intended to destroy Li Zhaojun, the women behind her, and even the entire Earth. Enraged, her skills surged to unprecedented heights, making it difficult for Li Zhaojun to cope.
"What do I do now?" Li Zhaojun felt the daunting power suddenly overwhelm her, pondering just how fearsome it could be.
"Am I destined to disappoint Ye Fan, letting Earth fall into ruin?" Under pressure, Li Zhaojun could only engage in a desperate fight.
