Chapter 2039: Zhang Xue, Zhang Hai

The Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Sect listened to these words and couldn’t help but tremble in fear.

“I beg you… Please spare me…”

The Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Sect pleaded with Ye Li.

Ye Li smiled faintly, and with that thought, he began to approach the Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Sect step by step.

The Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Sect looked at the approaching Ye Li with utter terror.

“I beg you…”

But unfortunately, Ye Li acted as though he hadn’t heard anything and continued walking toward the Grand Elder.

At that moment, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Sect had only one thought in mind: to escape.

Immediately, the Grand Elder launched himself into the air in desperate flight, reaching a speed faster than he’d ever achieved in his life.

The Sword Sect Master and their Grand Elder, watching the Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Sect flee, subtly shook their heads.

They knew that even if the Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Sect had ten legs, he wouldn’t be able to escape his fate.

And indeed—

As the Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Sect fled, Ye Li raised his finger.

Whoosh!

A terrifying spiritual energy attack shot forth from Ye Li’s fingertip.

“Ahhh!”

The horrifying spiritual energy attack pierced through the body of the Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Sect.

The Grand Elder collapsed heavily onto the ground, his eyes wide open, utterly lifeless.

Even in death, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Sect couldn’t believe he had died just like that.

Ye Li’s expression remained as serene as ever.

With a swift movement, he appeared beside the Sword Sect Master and the other elders.

“Senior.”

The Sword Sect Master and the elders addressed Ye Li with hurried reverence.

“I must leave now.”

Ye Li spoke calmly to the Sword Sect Master and the elders.

“Before I depart, you must take proper care of Mo You. Otherwise…”

A terrifying gleam of frost flashed through Ye Li’s pupils. “You know the consequences.”

“Yes, yes!”

The Sword Sect Master and the elders nodded fervently.

With those words, Ye Li left.

He wandered through the wilderness.

Releasing the Apocalypse Legion from the system space.

“Master.”

The Apocalypse Legion addressed Ye Li with utmost respect.

“Go and locate the Zombie Gathering Area.”

Ye Li spoke calmly to the Apocalypse Legion.

The Apocalypse Legion nodded.

As they dispersed in all directions, Ye Li continued wandering through the wilds.

Before long, he saw a base city in the distance.

It was a mid-tier base city.

After entering the base city—

The streets were bustling with pedestrians, their faces bearing varying degrees of happiness.

“Who are you?”

Suddenly, a voice as sweet as a nightingale echoed in Ye Li’s ears.

He focused his gaze.

It was a young girl, stunningly beautiful.

He looked at her curiously, wondering what his identity had to do with her.

“You’re so good-looking.”

She spoke again to Ye Li.

Hearing this, Ye Li’s expression darkened slightly.

This girl was certainly amusing, daring to say such things to him.

“Leave.”

Ye Li clearly wasn’t interested in listening to her meaningless words.

“Leave?”

The girl was momentarily stunned. She hadn’t expected Ye Li to tell her to go.

“Do you know I’m from the Zhang family?”

The girl spoke to Ye Li.

In her view, he shouldn’t have spoken to her in such a manner.

Unfortunately, Ye Li’s expression remained unchanging.

“I don’t care which family you’re from. I don’t wish to speak with you.”

By now, the crowd around them thickened.

“Who is this guy? Does he really dare speak to Zhang Xue like that?”

“Who knows? Probably someone who doesn’t understand the concept of consequences.”

“Must be. How dare he talk to the young lady of the Zhang family like that? It’s outrageous!”

The murmured discussions among the onlookers filled the air.

To them, Ye Li’s actions were laughable.

Although Ye Li heard their chatter, his face remained impassive.

“You… you!”

Zhang Xue’s expression turned sour.

As the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, when had anyone ever dared to speak to her like this? She’d been born into a life of adoration and praise.

“I don’t think you should be talking to me like this.”

Zhang Xue spoke again to Ye Li.

But this time, Ye Li couldn’t help but laugh.

“Do you not realize how utterly ridiculous your words are?”

Zhang Xue’s fair complexion turned icy.

Just as she was about to retort, an angry voice rang out, interrupting her.

“Kid, how dare you speak to my sister that way!”

A young man, reasonably handsome, emerged from the crowd.

While the young man’s appearance was decent, it was laughable in comparison to the overwhelming presence of Ye Li. They were worlds apart.

“It’s Zhang Hai.”

The crowd’s faces lit with intrigue at the turn of events.

Everyone knew Zhang Hai was Zhang Xue’s younger brother and a Tier 2 Earth Saint-level warrior with B-level genes.

Things were about to get interesting.

Zhang Hai marched up to Ye Li, glaring at him in rage.

“I don’t want to waste words with you. Apologize to my sister immediately!”

Zhang Hai demanded, his tone filled with fury.

Ye Li’s expression didn’t waver. He looked at Zhang Hai with calm indifference.

“A mere Tier 2 Earth Saint-level warrior dares stand before me? How laughable.”

Gasp—

At Ye Li’s words, the crowd collectively inhaled sharply, stunned by what they’d just heard.

“You… What did you just say?!”

Rage practically erupted from Zhang Hai, his fury manifesting as if a thousand flames burned above him.

“Isn’t a Tier 2 Earth Saint-level warrior just an ant?”

Ye Li spoke again, his voice steady.

Zhang Hai, seething, couldn’t hold back any longer and threw a powerful punch at Ye Li.

The crowd had already pictured Ye Li’s bleak fate and felt no pity for him.

They believed he had brought this upon himself.

As Zhang Hai’s fist was about to land on Ye Li—

He was suddenly sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

Impossible!!!

Witnessing this scene, the crowd erupted in shock.

They hadn’t even seen how Ye Li attacked, yet Zhang Hai had been flung away. How could this be real?

This… this couldn’t be a dream, could it?

The crowd blinked rapidly to verify their sight.

But the truth remained unchanged—they hadn’t imagined a thing.

“I said already,” Ye Li looked at Zhang Hai on the ground indifferently, “you’re just an ant. Why don’t you believe me?”

Zhang Hai, still sprawled on the ground, could no longer utter a word. His face was plastered with utter terror.

As for Zhang Xue, she was equally stunned.

Never in her wildest dreams could she have imagined Ye Li wielding power of this magnitude.
