Seeing Ye Zheng descend, the Demon Realm man scrambled to his feet and crawled to his feet, pointing at Ning Yechen and shouting angrily:

"Excellency Ye Zheng! He is the one who killed my people from the Demon Realm!"

"He offended my Demon Race!"

"Trash!"

"You can't even deal with a mere ant!"

Ye Zheng angrily reprimanded the Demon Realm man on the ground, kicked him away, and then looked up at Ning Yechen with a look of utter disdain.

To him, people from the Human Realm were basically ants he could crush with a flick of his wrist.

"You will pay for offending my Demon Realm with your life!"

Ye Zheng didn't want to waste time. He opened his mouth wide, and a brilliant beam of light rapidly gathered in his mouth!

"Annihilate, ant!"

"Annihilation!"

With a roar, the beam of light shot out from his mouth!

The terrifying Spiritual Power pressure completely tore apart the void in its path, the earth was lifted, and the world-destroying power seemed to destroy everything in its path!

This attack was enough to easily destroy an entire city!

Ning Yechen was instantly engulfed by the beam of light.

Ye Zheng snorted disdainfully, believing that Ning Yechen must have died in the beam of light he fired.

Just as Ye Zheng was about to turn and leave, he saw his subordinate looking at him from behind with a look of horror.

His expression was as if he had seen a ghost.

Ye Zheng frowned and turned back in the direction of the Demon Realm man's gaze.

The next second, Ye Zheng's face showed the same expression as the Demon Realm man...

Ning Yechen, who had taken a full blast of Annihilation, was standing in mid-air completely unharmed!

Not only was he not injured, but his clothes hadn't even a single tear!

How could this be!

Ye Zheng's eyes widened in disbelief.

That was his full-power attack in the Human Realm!

Although it was restricted by the Heavenly Dao of the Human Realm, it was still a full-power attack from the Immortal Realm!

"Your surname is Ye, and you can use Annihilation..."

"Are you from the Ye Family, belonging to the First Legion of the Demon Realm?"

Ning Yechen, unfazed, straightened his windblown clothes and asked Ye Zheng calmly.

"That's right!"

"I am Ye Zheng, the Commander of Ten Thousand Men in the First Legion of the Demon Realm!"

Ye Zheng raised his head proudly and replied.

A Commander of Ten Thousand Men in the Demon Realm was a very high military rank!

He was someone who could command an army of ten thousand!

Ning Yechen calmly continued to ask:

"Is Ye Tianshen still the demon general of the First Legion?"

"Yes..."

Ye Zheng replied without thinking much.

"Did he send you here?"

Ning Yechen's eyes narrowed as he continued to press.

If he found out that Ye Tianshen had ordered this, he would definitely not let him off!

"It wasn't Lord Ye Tianshen who ordered me, it was..."

"Huh? That's not right! Why should I answer your questions!"

Ye Zheng was about to continue his answer when he suddenly realized.

Why should he honestly answer this ant's questions!

Moreover, judging by his words, he seemed to know a lot about their Demon Realm!

He could even guess which legion he belonged to!

"Who are you, daring to make me answer your questions!"

"Wait until you defeat me, then we'll talk!"

Although he didn't know why Ning Yechen was still alive after taking a blast of Annihilation, Ye Zheng firmly believed that he must have used some special means to dodge it, otherwise, he wouldn't have been unharmed.

He directly took action himself this time, instantly appearing before Ning Yechen and drawing a large saber from his back, slashing directly at Ning Yechen!

Sharp sword energy descended from the sky into the ground, carving out a wide sword gully!

However, the scene he imagined, of Ning Yechen being split in two, did not appear…

The seemingly terrifying saber strike was firmly grasped by Ning Yechen's fingers!

Two fingers had caught his full-power slash!

Ye Zheng's eyes widened in shock once more.

Has it been too long since I last visited the human realm…?

When did the human realm ever have someone with such terrifying strength?!

"Are you done with your move?"

"Then it's my turn."

Ning Yechen applied a slight force with his fingers, and with a crisp "snap," Ye Zheng's great saber was directly snapped in half.

Ye Zheng stared blankly at the broken saber in his hand, his expression one of disbelief.

This was an Immortal Artifact personally gifted to him by Lord Ye Tianshen!

It was just… snapped like that…?!

Could it be that Lord Ye Tianshen gave me a fake…?

In that moment, Ye Zheng even began to doubt whether the great saber in his hand was truly an Immortal Artifact.

Otherwise, with the toughness of an Immortal Artifact, how could it be so easily broken!

Ning Yechen raised his palm and pointed it at Ye Zheng.

Ye Zheng quickly adopted a defensive stance.

Although he was deeply shocked by Ning Yechen's strength, he wasn't overly worried.

This was because in the human realm, one would be restrained by the Heavenly Dao, with cultivation strength not exceeding the Immortal Realm.

This was true even for him, who was in the Immortal King Realm.

The man before him could at most unleash moves with the same cultivation strength as him!

Even if he couldn't do anything to Ning Yechen, Ning Yechen couldn't do anything to him either!

Ye Zheng was confident in his heart.

But soon, he realized something was wrong!

An invisible force began to twist his limbs!

That power was formless and immense; even with all his might, it had no effect!

His limbs twisted, his bones making cracking sounds, and the Demon Armor on his body was directly wrenched apart!

The intense pain caused Ye Zheng to let out a heart-wrenching wail.

"Ahhhhh…!"

Ever since he entered the Immortal King Realm and became a commander of tens of thousands in the Demon Realm, he had never felt such powerlessness and fear!

The power displayed by the person before him completely surpassed the strength expected of someone in the Immortal Realm!

The restraints of the Heavenly Dao's rules had no effect on him?!

How is this possible!

I've never heard of anyone being able to ignore the rules of the Heavenly Dao!

"Speak, who sent you?"

Ning Yechen slowly stepped through the void, arriving before Ye Zheng, and asked indifferently.

As Ye Zheng hesitated whether to answer, his body began to twist even more irregularly!

"I, I don't know who the other party is!"

"When that person found me, they just told me to help them do one thing: come to the human realm, kill a woman, and take away a child!"

"That person promised to give me a secret medicine to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm after the task was completed, so I agreed."

"I don't know anything else…!"

Ye Zheng finally realized Ning Yechen's terrifying nature.

This kind of power was simply not something a mere Immortal King Realm cultivator like him could contend with!

Under the intense pain of his body twisting and the fear, Ye Zheng hurriedly shouted his answer in panic.

Ning Yechen heard this and lowered his hand, stopping his attempt to twist Ye Zheng into a pretzel.

He figured Ye Zheng wouldn't dare lie to him.

Considering he was one of his subordinates from before, he would let Ye Zheng off this time.

It was just a pity that he still didn't get any useful information.

The other party was extremely cautious in their actions, never showing themselves in person.

Ning Yechen frowned in annoyance and said to Ye Zheng:

"Get back to the Demon Realm."

"If you dare to come again, you'd better prepare to disappear!"

"Otherwise, the entire Demon Realm won't be able to protect you!"

After speaking, just as Ning Yechen was about to prepare to rush back to Luo Ruying's side, a cold, ethereal voice sounded behind him again.

"What a big mouth!"
