Chapter 249: Ye Bai, I knew you liked me!

"Thump!"

At this moment, another muffled sound was heard!

Not long after Zhu Peng had just climbed back up, Chu Ye threw another punch, striking Zhu Peng in the lower abdomen.

The latter was not only sent flying, but also rolled across the ground several times in succession!

"Zhu Peng, it's over!" Chu Ye intended to press the advantage, assuming a sprinting posture!

"Sister!"

On Zhu Huang's side, she, who had originally been suppressing her Sixth-Rank Peak Stage opponent from Magic City Martial Arts University, completely lost her composure.

"World-Extinguishing Fire Pillar!" Having just released a Martial Technique, with the Qi and Blood in her body still maintaining the shape of that technique, she forcibly activated a Martial Technique with a grade as high as Flood-grade!

Although this move decided the outcome for Zhu Huang, the moment the heaven-shaking fire pillar rose, it blasted her opponent away, reducing their clothes to ash and leaving their skin with large-scale burns.

Yet, fresh blood flowed from the corner of her own mouth!

There are gains and there are losses.

Zhu Huang's talent, which significantly amplifies the power of Martial Techniques, allows even mediocre techniques to erupt with terrifying force, but the recovery time is actually quite long; one must wait for the Qi and Blood in the body to return to a calm state.

By forcibly activating a Martial Technique, and a Flood-grade one at that, she directly suffered a significant backlash!

Yet, she did not intend to stop there.

Activating a Movement Technique, she rushed toward Chu Ye with astonishing speed!

She wanted to protect her sister.

"Another one here to deliver themselves?"

Chu Ye only sneered, stopping his sprint; for the moment, he was in no rush to finish off Zhu Peng.

Zhu Huang rushed into the range of All Beings Equal, her astonishing speed instantly plummeting.

"Go to hell!!"

Chu Ye moved.

A savage grin on his face.

This time, the target was Zhu Huang!

"Little Huang!!" Zhu Peng cried out.

"White God?!" Zhang Wei, who was watching the battle, also lost his composure.

"Sigh."

Seeing this, Ye Bai couldn't help but let out a long sigh as his thoughts were pulled back in an instant.

He had not wanted to expose the fact that he had entered the Yiji in front of such a large crowd.

Moreover, he had always assumed the Radical Faction had prepared a backup plan.

Who could have expected this?

"Swish, swish!" Chu Ye was now close to Zhu Huang.

The glove, stained with traces of scarlet blood, rapidly enlarged in Zhu Huang's eyes!

Although Zhu Huang had guessed she would be affected by All Beings Equal before deciding to support Zhu Peng, and had prepared herself to fight Chu Ye, it was only at this moment she realized her physical constitution was actually inferior to Zhu Peng's—merely the strength of a normal Fifth-grade Martial Artist.

She raised her staff, but had absolutely no confidence in being able to block Chu Ye's strike.

"Clack!"

Before Zhu Huang could meet the imagined, powerful punch.

A hand suddenly appeared from the void and violently grabbed Chu Ye's wrist!

It was an arm that, while having clear muscle definition, could only be described as thin and weak compared to Chu Ye's arm, which was full of dragon-like muscles.

Yet, this "thin and weak" hand firmly gripped Chu Ye's wrist, shattering the latter's plan to punch Zhu Huang into a state of serious injury!

"This is..."

At this moment, Zhu Peng, who was jogging toward Zhu Huang, froze.

Many of the geniuses who were also fighting, but had decided the outcome of this sudden incident based on the results of the battle between Zhu Peng and Chu Ye, also froze.

Where did this warrior come from?

There's still a reversal?!

Ye Bai's figure gradually appeared along with his action.

The young man's face formally appeared within this Yiji.

"Ye, Ye Bai?!

How could you come to the Yiji?!"

Ning Ye was the first to recognize Ye Bai, losing his composure.

"Boom!" Then, Meigui seized the opportunity, smashing her great hammer directly into Ning Ye's chest, sending the latter flying away like a cannonball.

"Junior, how, how could you come to the Yiji!!" Then it was Meigui's turn to be shocked.

And it wasn't just Meigui.

In fact, all the top geniuses from the various Martial Universities present were filled with shock upon hearing the name Ye Bai!

The First Genius of the younger generation of Great Xia!

A Sixth-Rank who could slay a Seventh-Rank!

The Sole Emperor-Tier!

The one who single-handedly challenged the Magic City Martial Arts University!

Who in the world does not know him?

Moreover, to the ordinary people of Great Xia, Ye Bai was just a genius.

But to these geniuses, Ye Bai was a peak they looked up to, one that would have been impossible to surpass without this Hidden Realm Opportunity!

As a result, Ye Bai, bearing the title of Emperor-level Prodigy, also ran to the Yiji? How dare he!!

"Ye Bai, you wouldn't, have fallen for me, would you?"

In the end, it was the young girl behind him who reacted first.

"Is it because after we parted last time, you thought about it carefully, realized I am indeed pretty, and that I was even willing to be a tiny, tiny, tiny concubine, so you were moved, and then, worried about me, you ran to the Yiji and followed me in secret to protect me?"

"And now that I've encountered danger, you've stepped out?"

Many thoughts immediately popped into her head.

She was right back then; she knew Ye Bai would like her!

So, should she agree, or should she agree?

She might as well agree; anyway, after returning to Shangjing, she hadn't figured out what liking someone meant, and after fulfilling the Marriage Contract, her grandfather shouldn't throw her into a place like the Yiji again.

"What are you thinking about?"

The corner of Ye Bai's eye twitched.

"Hey, I say, you two are flirting right in front of me, what do you take me, Chu Ye, for?"

However, before Ye Bai could say more.

Chu Ye also came back to his senses, and a voice full of anger rang out!

"You are Ye Bai, right?"

"Heh, I've truly heard so much about you!"

The look in his eyes as he stared at Ye Bai again was incomparably ferocious.

If they were outside the Yiji, to tell the truth, he really wouldn't want to provoke Ye Bai, even if a Martial King Mid-Stage meant a Qi and Blood Value starting at 12 million, which meant his current realm was far higher than Ye Bai's.

After all, his arrogance was only built on confidence in his own strength.

And he had no confidence that his future achievements could surpass this Sole Emperor-Tier prodigy!

Even knowing the views of the Conservative Faction, especially the God Creation Society, he would only think, what did those things the higher-ups should worry about have to do with him?

"You, shouldn't have come to the Yiji!"

However, Ye Bai was now clearly standing on Zhu Peng's side, an enemy competing with him for the opportunity to forge the prototype of the Immortal Golden Body!

"So?" Ye Bai looked at Chu Ye.

"So, I will use my fists to tell you that it is not yet time for you to lead the era!"

Chu Ye sneered.

Then, his other fist was raised violently and smashed toward Ye Bai!

He was prepared to deal with Ye Bai at the fastest speed and end this farce.

And in his view, Ye Bai being able to catch his wrist by surprise was only because Ye Bai's way of appearing was too bizarre, and he had no precautions.

Plus, the difficulty of catching his wrist was far lower than taking one of his punches.

However, Ye Bai had already entered the range of All Beings Equal; no matter what means were used, it was impossible for Ye Bai to disappear again!

So for this punch, Ye Bai either had to let go of his wrist and dodge.

Or be sent flying by his punch, instantly severely injured, and lose the ability to fight again!

"Ye Bai, dodge quickly!" Zhu Huang screamed at this moment.

Her thoughts were similar to Chu Ye's, and she believed that Ye Bai absolutely could not take this punch from Chu Ye head-on!

Then...

With a "clatter" sound.
