At the moment that sword threatened her life, Huangji Yuan merely glared at its tip without the slightest intention of dodging, and said that one sentence.
The instant those words left her lips, Qingtian Ye abruptly shifted his blade aside, twisting the soul-force storm away with immense strength. It brushed past Huangji Yuan's side; though the Sword Qi and soul force were fierce, they did not harm the beauty in the slightest.
Buzz!
Ye Yichen's Qingtian Leaf transformed, becoming that green-faced youth once more. He turned around, his face slightly pale from forcibly redirecting his soul force just now, but the joy of breaking into the top four outweighed it all.
So he turned, cupped his hands, and hurriedly said, "Little Yuanyuan, thank you for yielding."
"Yield my ass! Don't call me that!" Huangji Yuan was even more speechless. It would have been fine if he had said it quietly—did he have to be so high-profile?
She shot Ye Yichen a glare. Though she looked furious, she whispered, "You still have the communication stone, right?"
"I do, I do." Ye Yichen nodded blankly.
"After the Divine Emperor Banquet ends, remember to come play with me."
After saying that, Huangji Yuan glared fiercely at Ye Yichen again and declared, "This isn't over between us! You were lucky today. One day, I will wash away this humiliation!"
With that, she recalled a great swarm of golden battle beasts and stormed off the battle stage in a huff. Judging by her condition, she was completely uninjured.
The two sides came from the factions with the deepest conflict, yet they ultimately left the stage without injury. That was quite unexpected.
Though this better suited the theme of the Divine Emperor Banquet, no one was used to it!
Of course!
Used to it or not,
