764: Chapter 764: Battle with the Guardian 764: Chapter 764: Battle with the Guardian âIs that so?â The giant manâs eyes flickered with suspicion, clearly not convinced.
Moreover, upon arriving, he had caught a whiff of blood in the air.
Though he didnât know its source, it had to be nearby.
âWhat else could it be?â Ye Fei interjected.
The manâs voice was booming, and his beloved Bai Yingshi was still asleep.
Naturally, he didnât want this guy to disturb her.
The giant man seemed to notice Ye Fei for the first time, his eyes narrowing as he asked, âWho are you?â âHeâs my friend,â Lan Yueying quickly answered.
Though she wished the man who had humiliated her would drop dead, her son was still in his hands, so she didnât want any conflict between them.
The giant man still looked skeptical.
âYour friend?
You never leave the house.
Where did you get a friend?â Ye Fei was almost amused by the guyâs arrogance.
âWho someone befriends is their own business, isnât it?
Doesnât seem like itâs any of your concern.â âWho says itâs not my concern?â the giant man declared haughtily.
âAs the guardian of this plateau, everything hereâevery blade of grass, every treeâfalls under my jurisdiction, let alone people!â âYou think youâre the emperor, huh?â Ye Fei sneered.
âEven an emperor doesnât get to dictate who people associate with.â The giant man, accustomed to being domineering, was infuriated by Ye Feiâs words.
He even forgot his original purpose for being there, glaring at Ye Fei and saying, âKid, youâve got a death wish!â Ye Fei despised people like thisâarrogant, self-righteous, and meddling in othersâ affairs just because they had strength.
He coldly retorted, âWhoâs got a death wish isnât so clear yet.â âYe Fei, whatâs going on?â Just as tensions were reaching a boiling point, a melodious voice came from the nearby tent.
Bai Yingshi slowly emerged.
âThe Guardian of Tianshan?!â The giant man exclaimed in surprise.
He was somewhat wary of this guardian, whose strength surpassed his own.
âAh, the Guardian of the Plateau,â Bai Yingshi said with a faint smile.
âWhat has my husband done to offend you so?â âHusband?â The giant man was shocked.
He hadnât expected Bai Yingshi, who had always been single, to have a husbandâand such a young one at that.
He felt a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment, so he snorted, âThis kid has been disrespectful.
Iâm going to teach him a lesson!â Bai Yingshi sighed inwardly.
She had heard of this manâs temperamentâbrutal and domineering.
Though Ye Feiâs strength was no match for him, she didnât want her beloved man to make too many enemies.
Holding onto a sliver of hope, she said, âCould you let it go for my sake?â âLet it go?â The giant man laughed.
âSure, as long as the kid kneels and apologizes, Iâll let it slide.â Bai Yingshiâs expression darkened.
âGuardian of the Plateau, are you trying to provoke a conflict?â Asking Ye Fei to kneel and apologize was out of the questionânot just for Ye Fei, but for her as well.
âWhat if I am?
Iâm not giving you face today!â the giant man sneered.
Though he was somewhat wary of Bai Yingshi, this was the plateau.
Within this area, he was invincible, and he could do as he pleased.
Ye Fei had remained silent out of respect for Bai Yingshi, but seeing that the situation was beyond reconciliation, he stepped forward, shielding Bai Yingshi, and said, âYing Shi, step back.
Let me deal with this arrogant fool.â âArrogant fool?â The giant man suddenly burst into laughter, shouting, âLittle ones, tell him who rules the sky here!â At his command, a large group of people gathered from all directions, chanting in unison, âOn this plateau, the Guardian is the sky!â âQuite the entourage, but unfortunately, theyâre all bootlickers,â Ye Fei sneered.
Suddenly, two large swords appeared in his hands, and he unleashed his domain, enveloping the giant man.
âReady to die?â âA domain?!â The giant manâs face finally changed.
Domain power was superior to guardian power.
Within Ye Feiâs domain, he couldnât draw on the plateauâs energy.
How could he possibly be a match?
Without hesitation, he used a rather humiliating moveâshrinking his body and burrowing into the sandy ground, reappearing outside Ye Feiâs domain.
Ye Fei sighed inwardly.
He had been too careless.
He had only thought to trap the man in his domain, forgetting that as the plateauâs guardian, earth manipulation was his specialty.
What he thought would be an easy fight was now going to be a hard-fought battle.
However, Ye Fei didnât let his frustration show.
Looking at the livid giant man, he smiled faintly.
âI didnât expect the Guardian of the Plateau to know Sun Wukongâs tricks.
Too bad youâre too tall to look like your ancestor.â Forced to burrow into the ground, the giant man was already humiliated and furious.
Ye Feiâs mockery only enraged him further.
âKid, youâre dead!â he roared, gathering the entire plateauâs energy and charging at Ye Fei.
Feeling the overwhelming power of the manâs attack, Ye Fei didnât dare to be careless.
He retracted his domain to a radius of about ten feet, forming a protective barrier.
Then, he merged the two large swords into one massive blade and stood his ground, ready to meet the giant man head-on.
Ye Fei was filled with excitement.
This man was undoubtedly the strongest opponent he had faced since gaining his powers.
Though Bai Yingshiâs strength was on par with the giant man, their previous encounter had been a mere sparring match.
This was the real deal.
The giant man, channeling the plateauâs energy, was formidable.
With a single punch, he shattered Ye Feiâs domain barrier, temporarily preventing Ye Fei from using it again.
The two then engaged in close combat.
âBoom!
Boom!
Boom!â Their battle was a clash of brute force, the deafening explosions shaking the ground and making the onlookersâ ears ring.
Though the two were now enveloped in a cloud of dust, making it impossible to see, everyone remained fixated on the epic battle.
After nearly ten minutes of intense fighting, a deafening explosion, louder than any before, erupted from the dust cloud.
Then, silence fell.
