Were there two divine-level ability users above our heads?
As Nangong Qianyu spoke, the atmosphere instantly froze. A chill that could seep through everyone's backs began to spread.
"You... talking nonsense..."
Wu You was about to speak when he suddenly met a pair of icy eyes. The words that were already at his throat were forcefully swallowed back.
"What! Are you questioning Qianyu's words?"
Ye Ming narrowed his eyes as he looked at Wu You, an invisible pressure crushing down on him.
Bang!
"Ah!"
Under Ye Ming's gaze, You Li's legs could no longer support his body. Large beads of cold sweat dripped from his forehead. With a pained groan, he directly knelt on the ground.
His eyes were filled with unprecedented humiliation.
When he apologized earlier, he hadn't even bent his waist.
But now, he had directly knelt.
The contrast between before and now was truly striking!
"That's right! This is what an apology should look like!" Ye Ming looked at him with a cold smile and said faintly.
"Ye... Ye Ming! This is Gaoqiao Country. I hope you don't go too far. Otherwise, it won't be good for you!"
Wu You trembled as he used his hands to support his body, preventing him from collapsing. Even so, he was already doing his utmost to maintain this posture.
However, given the current situation, he didn't seem to intend to back down. His tone was full of threats.
"Hahaha! Good! Very good! Things are even more interesting than I imagined!"
Upon hearing Wu You's words, Ye Ming burst into laughter. "Chief Wu, what if I were to kill you right now? Would the person in the shadows be able to save you?"
After speaking, Ye Ming raised a finger and pointed it at Wu You. A subtle energy fluctuation could be felt at his fingertip.
"Wh-what?"
Seeing Ye Ming's action, Wu You's hair stood on end. A deathly aura that made his scalp tingle instantly rushed towards him.
"Will... will die!"
This was the only signal his mind was giving him.
"No... no! You... you can't kill me! I... I don't want to die! Please... please!"
The fear in his heart directly eroded Wu You's reason. The desire to live became his instinct.
"Look! Your life is clearly in someone else's hands, yet you still dare to threaten me with words! I truly don't understand, who gave you the courage?"
Ye Ming looked at Wu You before him and found it somewhat comical.
It seemed that looking down on others from a position of superiority had long made him forget all about danger.
This outcome was quite normal.
"Alas! Enough! I've seen enough of the show. It's time for you to come out!"
Ye Ming sighed and shook his head. "If you don't show yourselves soon, I might really kill this pawn!"
At this point, there was no need to be coy.
"As expected of China's foremost individual. We are impressed!"
As Ye Ming's voice faded, two figures slowly materialized in the seemingly empty space to his front left. Behind them, more people appeared one after another.
Each of them exuded an oppressive aura.
The two leading figures were clearly the two divine-level ability users Nangong Qianyu had mentioned earlier.
One held a long bow, while the other had a large saber on his back.
However, upon seeing them appear, Ye Ming looked disappointed. "Sorry, I wasn't referring to you."
Not them?
Hearing this, the two divine-level ability users' eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of disbelief. But it quickly vanished.
"Mr. Ye! I don't know what you're talking about."
At this moment, the man holding the long bow spoke in a deep voice. "We are here on behalf of the Tianzi Consortium. We hope Mr. Ye will not escalate the conflict. Let's prioritize harmony for everyone's benefit."
Judging by their demeanor, these people seemed to be here to mediate the conflict.
However, sending only two divine-level ability users to mediate a dispute felt like a disregard for Ye Ming.
Considering the strength Ye Ming displayed during his duel with Gu Taiyi, two ordinary divine-level ability users couldn't possibly contend with him head-on.
Therefore, it was somewhat perplexing that the Tianzi Consortium had sent these two.
"Never mind! Although I have many ways to force out the people behind you, but..."
As he said this, Ye Ming, for some reason, glanced at Nangong Qianyu beside him, and then continued, "But seeing as you might be somewhat useful, I'll wait for now. No rush!"
Useful?
Even Nangong Qianyu didn't immediately understand these words.
But a second later, her eyes widened in shock as she looked at Ye Ming, barely believing his decision.
Since they had already completed their soul fusion, Nangong Qianyu could know Ye Ming's thoughts at any time if she willed it.
Just now, she had used this ability.
"It's fine! Consider it a warm-up!"
Ye Ming patted her head dotingly and smiled, "I'm right beside you, what are you afraid of?"
"Then... alright!"
Since Ye Ming had said so, Nangong Qianyu agreed.
Honestly, she was a little excited. Besides that, there was also a hint of nervousness.
However, to the onlookers, the interaction between the two was met with utter confusion.
They had no idea what was happening.
It felt as if they had been completely ignored.
"Mr. Ye... We hope you will consider what we said earlier..."
"Stop! I understand! No need to say any more!"
Ye Ming didn't let the other party finish their sentence. Instead, he gave Nangong Qianyu a look. She instantly understood and clenched her fists, then actually walked directly towards the two divine-level ability users.
Her eyes were filled with determination.
"???"
As Nangong Qianyu approached them, the two were filled with questions, completely unaware of what she intended to do.
At this moment, Nangong Qianyu spoke, dispelling all their doubts.
"As long as you defeat me, all previous conflicts will be resolved."
Nangong Qianyu waved her fair hand, and a wisp of the Qi of All Things began to gather in her palm, gradually solidifying into a jade sword.
Clang!
With a swift swing, a wave of energy swept through the air. At this moment, Nangong Qianyu's aura drastically changed, shifting from its previous serene and elegant disposition to one of wielding a sword in the wind.
It even carried a trace of dominance.
"This..."
The two divine-level ability users looked at the woman holding the jade sword before them. Combined with her earlier words, their minds went blank for a moment.
Behind Nangong Qianyu, Ye Ming smiled slightly.
"Not bad. Her sword-dancing movements are quite stylish!"
