Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Becoming a Dragon in the Storm

What?!

What just happened?!

The City Lords were all completely caught off guard!

They were soaked to the bone by the surging lake water!

But they couldn’t be bothered with that right now!

At this moment!

They wiped the lake water from their faces!

The hair on their arms stood on end!

Recalling what had just happened, their eyes filled with shock!

What was that?!

How could something move that fast?!

And it crashed straight into the lake!

"That thing just now... it looked like a person!"

Those words were a wake-up call for everyone!

That’s right!

The "shooting star" from a moment ago... it did look like a person!

An answer immediately formed in their minds!

That person had to be Ye Yunyi!

Who else could it be?!

He must have been struck down by Zhao Kang, the leader of the Demon Exorcism Association!

Nearby, Dongfang Ruoyu also stared into the lake!

She searched for any sign of Ye Yunyi.

Oh?!

There!

In her line of sight!

Someone was struggling in the lake, swimming toward the surface!

He wasn’t dead!

He wasn’t dead?!

The City Lords watched, their faces etched with astonishment!

This kid!

He’s actually that strong?!

He survived that?!

They thought about themselves. An impact like that... forget about surviving!

They would have been reduced to dust!

Their eyes were glued to the figure in the lake.

But!

As the figure drew closer to the surface, their eyes slowly widened!

Wait!

Why does that person look so familiar?!

’That doesn’t look like Ye Yunyi!’

Right!

That is definitely not Ye Yunyi!

And!

It looks like......

The next moment!

The man burst from the water!

He collapsed on the shore!

Everyone stared, their eyes wide with disbelief at what they were seeing!

Who...

Who is that?!

Zhao Kang!

A name they couldn’t dare to imagine popped into their heads!

Their gazes hardened, locking onto Zhao Kang, confirming his identity over and over!

It’s him!

It’s really him!

It’s really Zhao Kang!

In that instant, they felt as if ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through their minds!

It left them with countless questions!

’Didn’t Zhao Kang go to deal with Ye Yunyi?!’

And!

’Isn’t Zhao Kang an Early-Diamond Stage expert?!’

’So what’s going on now?!’

’How did he get knocked out of the sky?!’

Huh?!

This Zhao Kang, looking like a half-dead dog!

Was this the same Zhao Kang who had been so full of oppressive might, looking down on them like a god descended from the heavens?!

Just as they were reeling in confusion,

a figure flashed over from the distance.

It moved so fast their vision blurred!

When they finally saw clearly who had arrived,

their pupils contracted in shock!

It’s!

Ye Yunyi!

It’s!

It’s really Ye Yunyi!

Dongfang Ruoyu was in utter turmoil!

Her chest heaved violently!

The other City Lords felt their legs go weak!

Just moments ago, they had been saying that Ye Yunyi was already dead!

They had mocked him, sneering that while he was tough, he had overestimated his own strength!

They thought he was beyond saving!

But!

Now, he stood before them, alive and well!

Instead!

It was Zhao Kang who was groveling at Ye Yunyi’s feet like a half-dead dog!

When Zhao Kang saw Ye Yunyi approach,

his blood surged in his chest!

He then spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!

At this moment,

he was a far cry from the Banished Immortal he’d resembled before!

He looked like a stray dog that had lost its home!

He looked up at Ye Yunyi.

The next moment, he saw Ye Yunyi wave his hand.

The Battle Axe appeared in his grasp!

The cold glint of the Battle Axe reflected on Zhao Kang’s face, forcing him to squint!

Then, his eyes flew wide open.

He watched as Ye Yunyi’s Battle Axe swung down!

He used his last ounce of strength to scream, "You dare! I am......"

SQUELCH!

He didn’t get to finish his sentence.

Ye Yunyi’s Battle Axe had already fallen!

The next instant!

Blood splattered seven paces away!

With a tap of his foot, Ye Yunyi sent Zhao Kang’s head flying into his hand.

He grabbed Zhao Kang by the hair.

His other hand held the Battle Axe.

Neither fast nor slow, he walked step by step,

heading outside!

As he passed the City Lords, though their legs were weak,

they forced themselves to quickly make way for him.

Ye Yunyi walked past them.

Dongfang Ruoyu watched Ye Yunyi’s retreating figure, her eyes filled with shock.

She had never expected

such an outcome!

In her heart, joy was mixed with shock!

Although, she herself didn’t know where the joy came from.

Meanwhile!

As the battlefield had shifted,

the distant crowd and the members of the Demon Exorcism Association had all started moving toward the manor.

The members of the Demon Exorcism Association, in particular, were on high alert!

The next moment!

The main gate of the manor slowly swung open.

The members of the Demon Exorcism Association all stared intently at the gate.

Their faces were grim!

They wanted to see their leader!

Zhao Kang!

Then!

Their eyes lit up as they looked ahead!

It’s!

The leader!

But!

The next moment!

Their eyes contracted violently!

Their legs nearly gave out!

One by one, their faces turned ashen, as if they were mourning their own parents!

In the distance!

The crowd watching from afar was shocked beyond words!

Their faces twisted in disbelief!

What emerged from the gate was indeed Zhao Kang!

But it was only Zhao Kang’s head!

Then, a hand emerged behind it!

Ye Yunyi!

He walked out of the manor slowly, carrying Zhao Kang’s head!

GASP!

In an instant, an uproar swept through the distant crowd!

They never imagined things would turn out this way!

Zhao Kang!

He was actually dead!

And!

It wasn’t even after a hard-fought battle!

From their perspective, he had been instantly killed by Ye Yunyi!

A complete and utter slaughter!

This young man!

He’s too terrifying!

Absolutely terrifying!

Meanwhile, Ye Yunyi walked slowly toward the members of the Demon Exorcism Association.

Watching him approach, their legs began to tremble uncontrollably!

Then!

Some of them scattered and fled!

Seeing this, the others quickly followed suit!

Ye Yunyi watched them and snorted coldly!

He tapped his foot!

Pieces of rubble shot out, creating piercing sonic booms as they flew!

SPLAT!

SPLAT!

After a series of sickening sounds of flesh being torn apart,

the heads of several powerful experts were pierced through!

With heavy thuds,

their bodies slammed onto the ground.

In the distance!

The few who remained thought they had successfully escaped!

But the next moment!

Following a ferocious roar,

a crimson figure shot out from the ruins below!

It charged toward an Early-Golden Stage Mutant!

In a single bite,

its sharp fangs pierced through the Mutant’s chest!

The Crimson Flame Tiger’s eyes were bloodshot!

It was utterly bloodthirsty!

One after another,

it slaughtered the remaining Golden Mutants!

In an instant, the entire area

was filled with a bloody mist!

When the distant crowd saw this, they too retreated at top speed!

They stared at the scene before them.

They never could have imagined.

The Demon Exorcism Association, taken on by a single young man, all on his own!

Annihilated!

Zhao Kang was decapitated!

They looked at Ye Yunyi.

They wanted to burn his face into their memories!

They knew that from this day forward, this young man was destined to weather the storm and transform into a dragon!
