Chapter 1703 - 1686: Spirit King Supremacy
"Xiao... Xiao Ye!"
This figure appeared too abruptly, without any warning, as if instantaneously teleporting in front of Yu Shuhan, causing his complexion to change drastically, as if he was being stared down by a primordial beast. A sense of danger continually swept over him, and beads of sweat rolled down incessantly.
At this moment, the arena fell silent, with numerous gazes directed towards this corner.
Especially upon seeing the appearance of the newcomer, everyone’s eyes immediately showed a peculiar expression.
Undoubtedly, the newcomer was none other than Xiao Ye, who had returned from his retreat.
Although Xiao Ye hadn’t intervened many times, his reputation had already spread throughout the vast Spirit Capital due to the Demon Weapon, known by almost all martial artists under the five Law Enforcement Envoys.
Could it be that Xiao Ye appeared now?
Could he be intending to participate in the Spirit King Competition?
"As a martial artist under the command of Leng Ming Lord, you actually raise the morale of others while undermining your own prestige. I truly wonder how you managed to be recruited by Leng Ming Lord."
"Since you so greatly admire Demon Weapon, why not switch allegiance to Ethan Law Enforcement Officer?"
Xiao Ye’s deep eyes flickered with a hint of cold light as he stared at Yu Shuhan and the few martial artists beside him.
"Xiao... Xiao Ye, you!"
Yu Shuhan was left speechless by Xiao Ye’s questioning, his face alternating between green and white before he loudly shouted, "Everyone, you’re well aware of Demon Weapon’s power; he will surely become the Spirit King!"
"Rumor has it that this person stole Demon Weapon’s Cosmic Spiritual Treasure, and being under the same Leng Ming Lord, Demon Weapon is already unhappy with us."
"Why don’t we join forces to seize him and alleviate Demon Weapon’s dissatisfaction with us? Perhaps we can even befriend Demon Weapon."
The strength Xiao Ye demonstrated a year ago was incredibly terrifying.
Though his strength had improved considerably this year, he still remained at the Earth Spirit Middle Stage, possessing only a low-grade Spirit Seed.
If he were to engage in a fight with Xiao Ye, he wouldn’t have much confidence.
Hah!
The moment Yu Shuhan’s words were spoken, they instantly sparked a notable commotion in the arena. Indeed, many martial artists’ eyes flashed with a chill, creating an extremely tense atmosphere.
Although Yu Shuhan’s actions were indeed despicable, his words weren’t unreasonable.
With Demon Weapon already occupying a place among the three Spirit King positions, there was no suspense.
Furthermore, Demon Weapon’s attitude towards the martial artists under Leng Ming’s command was indeed unpleasant.
Demon Weapon’s terrifying power was like a towering mountain pressing over everyone’s heads, suffocating them. If they were marked during the Spirit King Competition, even those originally qualified for the other two Spirit King positions might withdraw in defeat.
This would be a tremendous loss!
Who would be willing to bear it?
After all, weren’t they all here for the Spirit King position?
To minimize this risk, they were willing to intervene!
"Hehe, Xiao Ye, you might have gained an advantage with the Spirit Seed, but do you truly think you can handle so many strong opponents..."
Feeling the restless movement of nearby martial artists, Yu Shuhan smirked triumphantly. But before he could finish his words, he saw a blur before his eyes—
Boom!
A terrifyingly powerful force swept forth, directly pressing onto his shoulder, shattering his spiritual defenses instantly. The entire person collapsed to the ground, causing a roar, and cracks spread across the earth for thousands of miles.
"Xiao Ye, you..."
The immense power caused his vision to darken and his lungs to displace. Before he could get back up, a foot stepped on his waist, pressing him further into the dirt.
"Anyone who wishes to make a move, feel free to step forward. I don’t mind ensuring you fall before the Spirit King Competition begins."
Xiao Ye stood with hands behind his back, exuding an indescribable tranquility and ethereal presence. Yet his tone was imbued with a Sovereign atmosphere, plunging the arena into a deathly silence, where even the sound of a pin could be heard.
A year ago, Yu Shuhan’s strength ranked among the top of them, yet he was so effortlessly taken down by Xiao Ye?
Xiao Ye’s single utterance was unstoppable, intimidating everyone present.
"Such formidable strength!"
"Although Yu Shuhan’s character isn’t admirable, he was, after all, at the Mid Stage of Spirit Transformation, yet he had no ability to resist in the hands of this man."
"What is this man’s current realm? Why can’t I see through it?"
...
On the Bright Moon Ancient Star, several imposing martial artists looked on with peculiarity in their gaze.
"It seems the importance of strength is the same everywhere." Xiao Ye coldly chuckled while surveying the many martial artists intimidated by him.
"However, over the past year, many strong martial artists have emerged under Leng Ming Lord’s command, not to be underestimated." Xiao Ye glanced at several figures in the crowd, musing inwardly.
Among the thousand martial artists under Leng Ming’s command, only these few were worthy of his attention.
"Enough of the commotion, huh? Don’t you want to participate in the Spirit King Competition?"
Suddenly, a frigid voice echoed from the starry sky. Three imposing figures stepped into view.
They were three men.
Each was brimming with heroic spirit, exuding extraordinary demeanor, adorned with Spiritual Artifacts, and cold eyes like blades. Their formidable aura swept across the ancient star, nearly engulfing it.
"The Three Spirit Kings!"
At this moment, everyone raised their heads to look, and their hearts trembled violently in fear.
Over a hundred million Blue Demon Spirit Army, led individually by hundreds of Spirit Kings.
Every Spirit King was at the very least in the Earth Spirit Realm, refined through countless battles, possessing frightening strength, having cultivated profound Spiritual Techniques, each being able to fight against ten thousand enemies, incomparable to ordinary Earth Spirit Realm.
"By order of Leng Ming Law Enforcement Officer Lord, I bring you to participate in the Spirit King Competition. Anyone who dares to cause trouble again will be dispatched by me forthwith."
A Spirit King gazed indifferently downwards, his words icy cold as if freezing the heavens and earth.
"Excellent, let’s go!"
Seeing the scene fall into utter silence, this Spirit King nodded in satisfaction, gave Xiao Ye a deep look, then alongside the other two Spirit Kings, surged towards the vast cosmic sky.
"The Spirit King Competition has finally begun!"
Xiao Ye’s eyes blazed, no longer bothered by those in front, his form shot forth like an arrow.
The martial artists on Bright Moon Ancient Star dared not hesitate and followed suit.
Only Yu Shuhan, crushed into the earth by Xiao Ye, was left gravely injured and unable to participate further in the Spirit King Competition, raging in solitude on Bright Moon Ancient Star.
The vast cosmic sky bore both cold and darkness, with only the hazy Star Light dispelling the shadows. Gazing afar, one could see flags fluttering, with forces from Spirit Capital almost all appearing.
The Spirit Kings under the five Law Enforcement Envoys brought forth strong individuals and geniuses, soaring mightily, dominating this celestial expanse.
Among them, a figure enveloped in silver luminescence was exceedingly conspicuous.
"Demon Weapon!"
Xiao Ye looked at the figure bathed in silver glow, eyes slightly narrowing.
