Chapter 687: City Lord Tuoba

Yu Er fought five matches, then Ye Liuyun called a halt, making her withdraw from the competition, fearing she might get injured by taking risks.

Bai Hu and Shi Yuan each won ten matches, but not as easily as Lei Ming and Long Nv. Both of them were in a condition similar to Wu Qingcheng's, having consumed more than half of their True Essence.

Even so, six twenty‑win streaks appeared within a single day, breaking the record. And those six people turned out to be from the same group.

Moreover, their victories came swiftly. Almost always within a few moves, they dispatched their opponents.

Thus, the news spread rapidly throughout Yi Cheng, and more and more people came to watch the matches. Among them were also some masters.

These masters also wanted to test themselves against the strong. Everyone knows that only by sparring with the strong does one improve quickly.

That is why few can achieve a thirty‑win streak.

Once a twenty‑win streak is passed, those strong ones become interested in intervening.

While Ye Liuyun was cultivating, in a special private room of the combat arena, a man also entered.

The moment he arrived, maids immediately began serving tea and water, bustling about.

Finally, a plump middle‑aged woman also walked in, standing before the man with utmost respect.

"Is it him?" the man looked toward Ye Liuyun's direction.

The woman followed his gaze and replied, "It's him! He destroyed our entire Heroic Corps!"

The woman was none other than the 'Mother Tiger' Ling Shaoyun, who had previously been driven away by Ye Liuyun!

And the man seated opposite, sipping tea, was the City Lord of Yi Cheng, Tuoba Qi.

"He left it to me to handle; you go back and rebuild the Heroic Corps!" the man said calmly.

"City Lord, you must avenge us! You must tear this kid to pieces…"

Before Ling Shaoyun could finish speaking, a dignified pressure enveloped her, making her Soul shudder so violently she could not utter another word.

"I don't need you to teach me. Get back quickly and attend to your own affairs!"

Tuoba Qi continued speaking coolly, not even glancing at him.

Ling Shaoyun became a bandit because he sponsored her. Even if he hadn't, other bandits would have appeared.

Since there are bandits anyway, better to sponsor one who is obedient.

The Bandit Gang's income is modest; for Yi Cheng's overall expenses, it doesn't even count as additional revenue.

Thus he doesn't pay much attention to this Bandit Gang.

As for Ye Liuyun, if he can achieve a thirty‑win streak, it would prove his exceptional talent and limitless future potential.

He doesn't intend to pursue it further. He is a person who greatly values talent.

If Ye Liuyun cannot even reach a thirty‑win streak, it shows he is just an ordinary person. Then he wouldn't mind helping the Bandit Gang eliminate Ye Liuyun, giving Ling Shaoyun some closure.

Therefore, how to treat Ye Liuyun still depends on his own performance.

This spectator private room was set up extremely covertly, with a Formation that blocks Divine Sense detection; Ye Liuyun had never paid attention to it before.

Thus he was completely unaware of everything happening inside the room.

If he learned that Tuoba Qi was linked to the bandits, perhaps he would no longer strive for a fifty‑win streak.

Then his destiny would be rewritten.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun was merely recuperating his energy, preparing for battle.

Previously his opponents offered few points he could learn from; his fights were rather dull.

Only when Qu Xuefeng and Qiu Tianyang entered did he pay attention to their battles.

Both of them smoothly secured twenty‑win streaks.

Ye Liuyun found Qiu Tianyang's performance not particularly remarkable, but Qu Xuefeng's Bloodline Power astonished him.

Qu Xuefeng's Bloodline Power erupted completely, already approaching his own Bloodline Power.

Basically, by suppressing with his Bloodline, Qu Xuefeng can easily claim victory.

Moreover, Qu Xuefeng's True Essence, Soul, Physical Body and other strengths are not weak, so he is destined to stand out.

After Qu Xuefeng and Qiu Tianyang each earned twenty‑win streaks, they finally attracted the audience's attention.

The atmosphere inside grew increasingly lively.

"What's happening today? Eight twenty‑win streaks! Could there be a thirty‑win streak?"

"Indeed! And they all seem to win quite effortlessly!"

Tuoba Qi, watching from the private room, kept nodding.

"Today truly is a good day!"

He arrived later, missing Ye Liuyun's move. He only saw Qu Xuefeng act and felt he had a chance at a thirty‑win streak.

Ye Liuyun entered the arena again.

The first match of his thirty‑win streak pitted him against Yan Gang.

"Kid, your streak ends here!"

Yan Gang said, his gaze lingering with interest toward Wu Qingcheng.

However, Wu Qingcheng wasn't watching the match at all; she was focused on cultivation.

Her Divine Sense swept over Ye Liuyun confronting Yan Gang, and she returned to her cultivation with complete peace of mind.

Yan Gang, being such a waste, could never be Ye Liuyun's opponent. So she had no interest in watching.

"Hmph, this bitch can keep her cool! When I kill your man later, what a spectacular expression you'll make."

Yan Gang thought of this, withdrew his gaze, and began to gather momentum.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil had long noticed that he wore a talisman that prevents Spiritual Soul Attacks.

"I originally intended to finish him with a Soul attack, but it seems I'll need to expend more effort! He also knows some spatial power; a blade would likely be ineffective, not a one‑hit kill! Using a divine artifact would be too wasteful!"

Ye Liuyun was already contemplating how to defeat him in a single move.

"Then I'll use fists!" Ye Liuyun finally decided to test the effect of the improved Bà Tiān Divine Fist.

His Bà Tiān Divine Fist, after taking the Sky‑rending Palm as reference and being refined, still hasn't had a real‑combat test. It's just right to take him to practice.

Since the opponent's strength is weak now, even if he expends some True Essence, he can quickly replenish it.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun didn't draw his sword, Yan Gang felt a bit more confident; after fully gathering his momentum, he threw a fist at Ye Liuyun.

"Blazing Flame Burst Fist!"

With this punch, he gave it his all, expending nearly a third of his True Essence.

The True Essence surged like a mountain‑crashing tide, turning into raging flames, a sea of fire that surged toward Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun stood still, not even activating a True Essence Shield.

"What's wrong with this kid? He can't be scared stiff, can he?"

"Damn, I just bet on him to win. He can't just, like the Bone Demon, lose for no reason, can he?"

"Defense? Counter?"

Some spectators shouted, looking even more anxious than Ye Liuyun.
