Chapter 1272

Lu Yuan’s Dao came from the ghosts ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) hidden behind his back.

His power was naturally extraordinary.

But the fact that those ghosts feared Han Qianzhang didn’t mean they feared Han Yuexi.

So using this method to suppress her was perfectly apt.

Just then, Ye Yu had only just hoisted Han Qianzhang to run when Lu Yuan blocked his way.

“Leave him,” Lu Yuan said coldly.

“If I hand him over, do I get to walk?” Ye Yu raised a hand and pointed at the slumped Han Qianzhang on his shoulder, asking in all seriousness.

Lu Yuan sneered. “Of course... no. Kid, don’t think you can deliberately distract me like last time. This kid is your Dao partner’s younger brother—your own brother-in-law.

How could you give him to me?

Besides, I’m very interested in you, too.”

Hearing that,

Ye Yu felt utterly done.

What do you mean, “own brother-in-law”?

He and Han Yuexi were clean as jade.

And anyway, this kid was more like a ticking bomb; once he woke up, Ye Yu definitely couldn’t hold him down.

See? If he really gave him to Lu Yuan, the man wouldn’t want him.

But Ye Yu didn’t plan to voice any of that.

Because Lu Yuan’s last sentence already laid his intentions bare.

He had no intention of letting Ye Yu leave.

In that case, he could only find a way to break the game.

Ye Yu raised one finger in front of himself.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and focused all his attention.

From the memory transmitted by the ghostly avatar earlier, he knew Ye Yu’s methods far exceeded a typical early New God Realm.

To avoid capsizing in the gutter a second time, he would not be careless.

Under his gaze, Ye Yu jabbed that finger into Han Qianzhang’s armpit.

Humans are fragile.

Especially the armpit.

Don’t scratch it, and don’t poke it. A poke will hurt.

(Let me guess—how many of you just poked your own armpit?)

Under the surge of pain, the previously unconscious Han Qianzhang snapped awake.

Those flame-like eyes still looked terrifying.

But Ye Yu was already prepared; he angled Han Qianzhang’s head forward,

making sure the first thing he saw on waking was Lu Yuan, not Ye Yu.

Everything unfolded exactly as planned.

Han Qianzhang lunged madly at Lu Yuan.

Though startled, Lu Yuan reacted at once and reached out to seize Han Qianzhang.

Finally in hand.

Just as he was about to finish Han Qianzhang and turn him into a ghost to hide behind his back,

he suddenly saw Ye Yu less than two meters away.

What was this guy trying to do?

Before Lu Yuan could think further, in an instant, everything within ten meters turned black and white.

Ye Yu, Han Qianzhang, even Lu Yuan himself.

Lu Yuan’s eyes widened.

He abruptly realized he had completely lost control of his divine power.

No matter how he tried, he couldn’t mobilize a shred.

In that moment, he was like an ordinary man with no abilities at all.

He could only watch Ye Yu’s fist drive toward his chest.

The speed was so fast Lu Yuan couldn’t block it.

Thud.

After a muffled blow, Lu Yuan staggered back dozens of meters.

His face flushed crimson.

Clearly, the punch was immensely powerful, but it only knocked his qi out of rhythm—nothing more.

Ye Yu stood where he was, staring at his own fist in surprise.

Why?

How?

It had been just a hair’s breadth.

If Equal Among All Beings had lasted a little longer—even a tenth of a second—he was confident he could have killed Lu Yuan on the spot.

But the gap in their strength was still far, far too great.

Too great to bridge.

Lu Yuan clapped and praised him. “Now I’m even more interested in you than in your brother-in-law.

Where did you learn these supremely bizarre divine arts?

It’s unbelievable.

I can’t wait to hide you behind my back.”

Ye Yu slowly let out a turbid breath and said nothing.

Equal Among All Beings drained divine power fiercely.

He had to use every moment to recover. He couldn’t even waste strength on talking.

“Don’t want to talk? No matter. Once I kill you, your soul won’t refuse me.”

Lu Yuan grinned savagely, raised a hand toward Ye Yu, and had just begun to stir his divine power—

when the next second, a gaping bloody maw swallowed him whole.

It was Little White’s true body.

That terrifying form looked downright demonic.

“Damn, what are you? Daring to lift a hand at my big brother—what nerve.”

After spitting out a glob of saliva, Little White galloped excitedly toward Ye Yu.

“Big Brother, I finally found you, Big Brother.”

A hulking mass ten zhang away charged at terrifying speed.

The visual impact was immense.

Forget the rest—just those fangs were longer than Ye Yu was tall.

And it had just swallowed an Ancient God Realm expert whole.

With all that stacked, Ye Yu simply turned his body like a matador and let it rush past.

Elegant.

Never goes out of style.

In the next instant, with the ghost god gone, Han Yuexi regained her freedom and immediately stepped in front of Ye Yu,

staring warily at Little White.

Just freed, she had seen a “monster” barreling at Ye Yu,

so she moved by instinct to protect him.

Missing his tackle, Little White glanced back, looking at Ye Yu all aggrieved.

“Big Brother, am I out of favor now?”

“Big Brother?”

Only now did Han Yuexi clearly hear how Little White addressed Ye Yu.

She turned back, disbelief all over her face.

Ye Yu, however, said calmly, “Turn back to your main form before you talk to me. Like this you’re too big, I have to look up at you.”

“Big Brother, I can’t change back right now. That guy I just ate was no weakling—he’s thrashing around in my belly. I’ll need some time to digest him.

Until then I probably can’t change back.”

As he spoke, wails like ghosts crying came from Little White’s stomach.

From time to time, grinning ghost faces pressed against it.

It looked horrific.

Little White didn’t care, though; he patted his belly with a paw and gave it a shake.

In his view, a peer like Lu Yuan was indeed hard to digest.

But that didn’t mean he couldn’t be digested.

It was only a matter of time.

As for the ghosts?

They were pickled vegetables—just seasoning.

In the end, they would all become steps for him to grow stronger.

Ye Yu frowned slightly.

Can’t change back?

Fine then. At least he had helped resolve the crisis.

Just as Ye Yu was about to speak, Little White’s brows knitted and he roared, “Damn, another blind fool?”

With that, he snapped his jaws and swallowed the red figure that was charging over.

He even let out a burp afterward.

In that instant, Ye Yu and Han Yuexi both froze.
