“You are Ye Ge, the lord of that new city?” Several Saint Kings were surprised, and even Margaret’s eyes held a trace of astonishment.
No one expected that after they specifically went to Bright City and didn’t find him, they would encounter him here. And precisely at this time, a major incident had occurred in Eles Giant City?
Was this… a coincidence?
Bai Ye smiled and nodded. “Indeed, it is I.”
“What is going on here?” Saint King Margaret pointed to the dry corpses scattered around, suppressing her killing intent as she questioned him.
The other four Saint Kings unreservedly unleashed their demonic power, ready to act at Margaret’s slightest glance!
“Those enemies from another world killed them. By the time I arrived, it was too late.” Bai Ye, with his potential as a film emperor, lied as if it were the truth.
Adolf, the last Saint King of the half-demons, sneered, “Heh! Then why was it only you we found when we arrived? We didn’t sense the aura of those people leaving?” He had already drawn his sword.
“Moreover, this place is filled with a rich and strange demonic energy. One of those two enemies from another world had the power of flame, and the other had the power of space.”
The atmosphere immediately became tense with Adolf’s words.
Bai Ye released his demonic power, lightning crackling around him. The fierce energy caused the Saint Kings’ expressions to change.
This power was no weaker than theirs! And this was when he was weakened! Saint King Margaret was also startled.
“You suspect me?” Bai Ye smiled calmly. “It’s obvious that these companions were not killed by me.”
Bai Ye stared at Adolf and asked, “Are you sure those enemies from another world were only two people?”
Seeing Bai Ye’s gaze, Adolf’s heart trembled slightly. This gaze… he felt like he had seen it somewhere before?
“It seems it really wasn’t him,” the other Saint Kings breathed a sigh of relief.
“What happened here with the fierce battle just now?” Margaret asked again. “By the way, have you seen Lord Wu Xin?”
Bai Ye nodded slightly. “I know. The battle just now was between myself and Lord Wu Xin. He was a powerful and respectable opponent.”
Upon hearing this, the Saint Kings were surprised again. They now knew that Bai Ye was not to be trifled with, but they didn’t expect him to be able to fight Wu Xin, and seemingly without serious injuries!
This was already far stronger than several of them.
“Oh! You fought him?” Margaret looked at Bai Ye with a newfound respect. After all, Wu Xin was truly at her level. However, she hadn’t realized that Wu Xin was already dead at Bai Ye’s hands.
“Then, where is Lord Wu Xin?”
“Dead.”
Bai Ye’s simple statement plunged the scene into a deathly silence. After a long while, the Saint Kings finally reacted.
“Wh-what? What did you say?” Adolf thought he had misheard and looked at Bai Ye mockingly. “How could Lord Wu Xin possibly be dead?”
The other Saint Kings frowned. Really? Could it be that he was ambushed and killed by powerful beings from another world?
Saint King Margaret said with a stern face, “You’re not joking, are you?” She felt a sense of unease because she faintly sensed a trace of Wu Xin’s aura nearby.
Logically, Wu Xin wouldn’t fail to appear after they arrived. Furthermore, they knew Bai Ye was here for the dwarf tribe, so a battle between the two was quite possible.
“I am very sure,” Bai Ye nodded seriously. “Because Lord Wu Xin died fighting me.”
Boom!!!
“What??”
“You, you killed Lord Wu Xin?”
The Saint Kings’ minds reeled, and they stared at Bai Ye in disbelief, thinking they had misheard.
Saint King Margaret’s pupils contracted sharply. She was also shocked, and her gaze towards Bai Ye became more wary. She was confident she could defeat Wu Xin, but not kill him.
If Wu Xin really died by his hands, it meant he also possessed the means to kill her!
Bai Ye calmly observed their expressions and gazes. Among the five Saint Kings, only Adolf, who was also a half-demon, showed killing intent. The others were mostly shocked and wary. This indicated that their three-clan alliance was not one of shared hatred, but merely a way to avoid internal conflict.
Regarding the matter of killing Wu Xin, there were many demon witnesses present, so he couldn’t lie his way out of it. He decided to confess directly; the worst that could happen was another battle. However, seeing the outcome, Bai Ye felt relieved.
“If you don’t believe me, follow me,” Bai Ye said, heading towards the ruins of the battlefield where he had fought Wu Xin.
Margaret and the others followed Bai Ye to the battlefield. The area was filled with the traces of ravaged lightning, and the ground was pitted and uneven, indicating the intensity of the battle!
“Ah!! Lord Wu Xin!”
In a large pit on the ground, Adolf picked up a piece of charred scrap metal, his expression instantly losing control. That scrap metal was the hilt of Wu Xin’s black longsword.
Half-demons regarded their demonic artifacts as their lives, and Wu Xin was no exception, always keeping his sword with him. Now, only the sword hilt was found, which truly meant it was as Bai Ye had said.
“Ah! I’ll kill you!” Before the other Saint Kings could react, Adolf drew his sword and attacked Bai Ye.
“Piercing Cold Ice – Seal!”
“Extreme Cold Slash!”
An icy aura rose around Bai Ye, and countless ice chains bound him to the ground. Simultaneously, a chilling sword light slashed from Adolf’s blade, carrying an aura of sharpness under the extreme low temperature.
Bai Ye’s eyes narrowed, and the lightning power within him surged madly, shattering Adolf’s ice seal with bolts of lightning. The alarming extreme cold barely affected him.
The other Saint Kings’ expressions changed. They hadn’t expected Bai Ye, even in his weakened state, to break free from Adolf’s restraint so easily.
Rumble!!!
Suddenly, lightning flashed across the sky, and an extremely violent lightning aura appeared.
“Stop!”
At this moment, Margaret shouted, and with a wave of her hand, a stream of water shot towards Adolf’s Extreme Cold Slash. With an explosion, her move easily blocked Adolf’s powerful strike.
“Saint King Margaret, you!!!”
“Why are you helping him? He killed Lord Wu Xin!”
Margaret glanced coldly at his furious roar. Her intervention, even if not to help Bai Ye, was to help him. Because Bai Ye was preparing a counter-attack, and she had a strong premonition that Adolf would be severely wounded!
“Lord Adolf, please calm down!” Ovesdteen and the other Saint King from the demon tribe, following Margaret’s signal, stepped forward to restrain Adolf.
“Why did you kill Lord Wu Xin?” Margaret questioned Bai Ye.
“Because if I didn’t go all out, I wouldn’t be his match.”
“To seize the dwarves?”
“Yes!”
“Do you know that the half-demons possess everything of the dwarf tribe, it is just the decision of the supreme beings of the clan?”
Bai Ye chuckled, “That was in the Tethers World. Lord Wu Xin said that one needs strong power to possess these resources. And in this channel world, I believe I can!”
Margaret and the others fell silent, only Adolf continued to roar. Bai Ye’s killing of Wu Xin was enough to prove his strength! Even in his weakened state, he could still heavily wound several of them!
When did such a powerful expert appear in the channel world? Who exactly was he?
The Saint Kings’ minds simultaneously conjured the previous speculation of the Elf King Clarence.
Was he one of the enemies from another world?
Margaret took a deep breath and said, “In this world, you indeed possess such strength, and it is difficult for us to sanction you. Your actions will be judged by the supreme beings.”
“However, we now need you to prove your identity. The best, and only, way is to reveal your true form!”
