Chapter 222: Instantly Killed?

Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Instantly Killed?

After Ye Yunyi and the others entered the barrier.

Over here, many Mutants were discussing the situation.

Thinking about the battle that had just happened, they had a newfound appreciation for Ye Yunyi’s strength!

Terrifying. He was simply too terrifying.

Lord Ye truly lived up to his reputation as the expert who could fight a King-level Beast, cripple it, and still return safely.

He’s incredible!

「Meanwhile.」

At the training grounds.

Shangguan Yulan was teaching Ye Chen how to punch.

She was minutely adjusting the force of his punches.

Her mind was also on the report she had just received.

’Ren Jingyi should have found Ye Yunyi by now, right?’

’They’ve probably already started fighting.’

As she thought about this,

Shangguan Yulan let out a soft hum, a smile on her face.

A high-ranking officer beside her noticed her expression. "Eighth King General, are you...?"

Shangguan Yulan knew she’d lost her composure.

So, she started making small talk.

"You heard about Ren Jingyi coming to find Ye Yunyi just now, right?"

The high-ranking officer next to her nodded. He knew of Ren Jingyi.

She was the Fifth King General’s precious daughter.

Her power was also extremely terrifying.

With her innate strength, the combat experience taught by the Fifth King General, and her natural disposition, she could be called an expert among experts.

The number one person below the King General Level.

That was the rumor about Ren Jingyi.

’Why would she be looking for Lord Ye?’

Thinking of Lord Ye,

the high-ranking officer frowned.

’Lord Ye’s strength versus Ren Jingyi’s...’

’He really couldn’t tell who was stronger.’

After all, he knew Lord Ye was incredibly strong.

But Ren Jingyi’s fame had been established long ago.

"They’ve probably started fighting by now," Shangguan Yulan said. Her words made the eyes of the several Alliance Guard Army officers beside her go wide. They could hardly believe what they were hearing.

’A fight?’

’Why would they fight?’

’Huh?!’

’How did they suddenly end up fighting?’

’Did Ren Jingyi specifically seek out Lord Ye for a fight?’

Their minds were racing, feeling a little dazed.

’This world is getting too crazy.’

’To just show up at someone’s door looking for a fight...’

Watching the expressions on the officers’ faces, the Eighth King General continued, "Who do you think has a better chance of winning if they fight?"

"That’s a tough question for us. I’ve only seen Lord Ye’s strength, but never Ren Jingyi’s. I’ve only heard that the Fifth King General’s precious daughter is formidable," Gao Zhen said thoughtfully.

After a moment of deliberation, he added, "I feel like Lord Ye’s strength should be a bit greater."

After all, he had personally witnessed Ye Yunyi fight the King-level Beast. His judgment, his power, his speed... it was all simply incredible!

Hearing Gao Zhen’s words, the other high-ranking officers quickly agreed.

Gao Zhen was, after all, someone who had experienced Ye Yunyi’s power firsthand on the front lines.

As for Ren Jingyi, no one here had seen her in action.

It was all hearsay. Who knew how much of it was exaggerated.

"I think Ren Jingyi might be a bit stronger. This time, I’m afraid Ye Yunyi is in for a bitter fight. Ren Jingyi is no pushover. Of course, I hope Ye Yunyi wins, but even if he does, it will probably be a pyrrhic victory."

Shangguan Yulan said, giving her own assessment.

In her opinion, Ren Jingyi was known as the number one person below the King General Level for a reason.

And coming here now, she must have come fully prepared.

’Still, let’s just wait for the results.’

"Huh? Lord Ye’s strength isn’t a match for Ren Jingyi’s?"

Gao Zhen looked disappointed.

The other officers were also in disbelief.

They were all lost in their own thoughts.

Some even wanted to go and watch.

But seeing that the Eighth King General wasn’t moving, they didn’t dare leave without permission.

A short while later,

two members of the Alliance Guard Army ran over. "Eighth King General! Outside, Lord Ye is fighting with a girl!"

"Right outside the barrier!"

Oh?!

That one sentence caught everyone’s attention.

Shangguan Yulan was quite interested. After all, she had recently noticed Ye Yunyi getting more and more arrogant.

He had even started ordering her around and acting impatient.

’Now Ren Jingyi has arrived.’

’She’d just sit back and watch the show.’

’She wanted to see exactly how Ye Yunyi would be taken down a peg.’

’This fight would surely teach Ye Yunyi to stay humble and not be so arrogant.’

’Let Ren Jingyi teach him a good lesson.’

"Well? What was the final result?"

Shangguan Yulan asked. The high-ranking officers also gathered closer, eager to hear the outcome.

’Was it as they predicted?’

’Or was it as the Eighth King General had guessed?’

But they already had a good idea of what the answer would be.

Since the Eighth King General had said what she did, it was highly likely that her prediction was correct.

They steeled themselves for the news.

"It was a completely one-sided match for Lord Ye. After three moves, the girl was on the ground, unable to get back up. In the end, Lord Ye carried her away in his arms, like a princess," the two Alliance Guard Army members quickly reported.

BOOM!

Their words struck like a clap of thunder on a clear day!

Everyone’s heart jolted in shock!

Their eyes all widened involuntarily as they stared at the two who had just spoken!

’What?!’

’You...!’

’What did you just say?!’

’Ye Yunyi... won a one-sided victory?!’

’Three moves?’

’He beat Ren Jingyi to the ground, unable to get up?!’

’And in the end, Ye Yunyi actually carried her away like a princess?’

’Where did he take her?’

’What’s he going to do?’

’He better not do anything rash!’

For a moment, Shangguan Yulan’s mind raced with possibilities.

But in the end, she chided herself.

’What kind of nonsense am I thinking?’

’Ye Yunyi isn’t short on women, and he knows Ren Jingyi’s identity. He definitely wouldn’t do anything reckless.’

Nearby,

the high-ranking officers burst into discussion.

"Holy crap, Lord Ye is just too incredible!" Gao Zhen’s mouth twitched. "But wait, wasn’t Ren Jingyi supposed to be the apple of the Fifth King General’s eye? Her strength is at the late-stage Star Level, her combat skills were personally taught by the Fifth King General, and she has a glorious track record!"

"So why was she so easily defeated by Lord Ye?"

The other officers next to him were lost in thought.

"Either Ren Jingyi’s reputation is unearned—all the previous rumors were false, just hearsay. She’s not that amazing, and she doesn’t have the strength to be called the number one person below the King General Level."

"Or..."

The officer didn’t finish his sentence.

But in their minds, all the high-ranking officers had already completed the thought!

’Or!’

’Ye Yunyi’s strength is just too immense!’

’He has already reached the King General Level!’

They immediately turned to look at the Eighth King General. When Shangguan Yulan saw their gazes, a tidal wave of shock surged through her heart.

From what she knew,

Ren Jingyi’s reputation was definitely not unearned.

After all, she had plenty of achievements to her own name!

’It couldn’t be fake.’

’In that case...!’

’It means that Ye Yunyi’s strength has grown again in such a short time!’

’He...!’

’His current strength might have already reached the King Level!’

’That guy... he’s a monster!’
