Wu Xingteng was a bit dumbfounded.
This wasn't right. Shouldn't they be swarming up to deal with Ye Longlin? Why were they all discussing and even arguing, refusing to engage, claiming it would be disrespectful to the two words "Marshal Ye" to do so?
Even Wu Xingteng, who had seen his fair share of grand occasions, was somewhat bewildered, unsure of what these people were thinking.
Didn't they usually want money? Now that a money-making opportunity was presented to them, they actually didn't want it. Were they just being difficult?
Ye Longlin, after hearing the surrounding discussions, smiled faintly and said, "Secular people have a heart for their country. They know who is good to them, and they know what it means to love their country!"
"As for you all, you continue to think of everyone with your selfish and self-serving hearts, which dooms you to defeat."
The hearts of the people can make or break a person. They can lift you to a pedestal or pull you down. It has been so since ancient times. The saying that he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world is not just a saying.
Especially in today's society.
"You court death!"
Wu Xingteng's killing intent flared, and a group of people surged forward.
Ye Longlin stood proudly in the sky, one finger pointing to the heavens, the other to the earth, the blood-red color in his eyes growing more intense.
He stood there, unmoving, watching them charge towards him, all sorts of attacks falling upon him.
But at some point, this world turned blood-red, as if the clouds in the sky had become blood-red.
"What the hell is going on? What the hell is happening? Why do I feel like I can smell blood? It can't be this intense, right?"
"Facts tell you, it is this intense. Look at the scene. I reckon everyone will die under this move. The Commander of the Three Armies is still the Commander of the Three Armies. With one strike, those of the same realm will basically be wiped out."
"Who's saying it isn't? Damn it, the Commander of the Three Armies is invincible!"
As the entire world turned blood-red, strands of blood-red lines began to appear around everyone who was charging at Ye Longlin, just like how Wu Yi had died before. Blood-red lines appeared by their sides, or rather, between them and Ye Longlin, countless blood-red lines forming a screen, separating them.
It was one thing to be separated, but blood-red lines also appeared by their sides. This made those who had seen Wu Yi die maintain vigilance towards these blood-red lines. As soon as they appeared by their sides, they would immediately dodge.
And now, it was like a cat chasing a mouse, with Ye Longlin catching and them dodging.
"I'd like to see how long you can sustain such attacks!"
Wu Xingteng sneered. As long as they dodged fast enough, Ye Longlin would not be able to catch them.
Ye Longlin raised his head slightly and uttered only two words: "Naïve."
After speaking, he clenched his fists fiercely. In an instant, the screen formed by blood-red lines in the space between heaven and earth instantly disintegrated and began to trap them.
The more than ten figures in the scene frantically used various means, but the blood-red lines still appeared by their sides.
"Save me—"
However, after the first voice rang out, everyone's souls were filled with terror!
Looking back, they saw that the person trapped by countless blood-red lines had his body pierced, even directly dismembered. The blood-red lines piercing through him were becoming more and more vibrant.
The eerie red color truly made them feel fear at this moment.
A few minutes later, except for Wu Xingteng, no one else was alive!
Wu Xingteng was also chilled to the bone. He still couldn't figure out what this thing was; it was too bizarre.
"Only you are left."
Ye Longlin suddenly spoke, making his scalp tingle and his pupils lose focus for the first time.
As the words fell, Wu Xingteng was about to leave, but countless blood-red lines had already appeared around him. When he was pierced by the blood-red lines, he felt nothing at all, even a very comfortable sensation??
He didn't know if it was an illusion.
But when he felt his blood stop flowing, he suddenly understood what Ye Longlin's move was, but he could no longer speak it.
As Wu Xingteng's corpse fell to the ground, the entire scene fell silent. In the blink of an eye, the world returned to normal, and countless people stared at Ye Longlin in a daze, as if looking at a deity.
Heaven and earth transformed, a bloody pagoda.
It was then that they remembered Ye Longlin's words: Invincible below the Saint Realm!
Not only was he invincible, but they felt that Ye Longlin might even have the strength to fight a Saint Realm expert!
Ye Zhengchun and the Saint Realm powerhouses of the Wu family watched this scene, and their hearts generated a strong killing intent towards Ye Longlin.
The more powerful Ye Longlin became, the worse the news was for them. The more powerful he was, the harder it would be to kill him.
"Attack!"
Ye Zhengchun gave the order, and the Saint Realm powerhouses of the two families instantly exerted their full strength. In an instant, the entire sky was filled with Saint Realm might.
"Who dares?!"
Master Chen stepped forward, his words manifesting reality: "Near Heaven and Earth Apart!"
Upon hearing these four words, Ye Zhengchun's expression instantly turned ugly. This Confucian technique, Near Heaven and Earth Apart, was truly a rogue move.
If you can't beat me, just use Near Heaven and Earth Apart to send you away. Although it looks close, you can never cross it.
Ye Zhengchun clenched his fists. This was simply a rogue tactic!
"Master Chen, if you are determined to obstruct us today, we will kill you first!"
Ye Zhengchun spoke coldly, his killing intent sweeping across half the sky.
Master Chen disdained, "If you have the ability, try to cross Near Heaven and Earth Apart first!"
Near Heaven and Earth Apart was a bridge, a single-arch bridge, lying between the two sides.
To break through Near Heaven and Earth Apart with brute force was basically impossible, unless it could be destroyed in one strike, otherwise it was simply not realistic.
Countless people held their breath and watched this scene, excitement appearing in everyone's eyes.
A battle of Saint Realm experts was finally about to begin!
This battle was full of highlights. For these low-level martial artists, they could learn a lot from it. After the last battle at Shenglong Lake, it was said that over a thousand people had broken through.
And this battle would undoubtedly lead to countless breakthroughs, as both the level and the combat were by no means comparable to the battle at Shenglong Lake.
The Saint Realm was almost the strongest existence in this world. To be able to witness a battle between Saint Realm experts in one's lifetime was a great fortune for three lifetimes.
"The Glory Hall is in operation. All individuals are to be suppressed!"
Ning Qi's voice suddenly rang out.
Stomp, stomp, stomp—
A series of footsteps sounded. Countless people turned their heads and saw guards and imperial guards entering the arena from below, involuntarily gasping in shock.
This was not the most crucial part. The most crucial part was that the top powerhouses of the Zhenwu Division and the imperial guards had all entered the arena.
"Marshal Ye, the Grand Elder has ordered you to return immediately!"
