You Think Too Highly of Me-How Could Yu Yuanzhen Have Been Killed by Me?

She wore only a thin outer robe as she stood by the window, gazing toward the direction of the battle outside the city. Her stunningly beautiful face was filled with worry and shock.

Hearing the door open, Tang Yuehua spun around. When she saw Ronan walk in unharmed, the heart she had been holding in suspense finally settled.

"Ronan! Where did you go just now?"

Tang Yuehua hurried to his side and tightly grasped his arm, her voice trembling slightly.

"Outside the city... an utterly terrifying battle broke out outside the city just now. That lightning aura... was Yu Yuanzhen here?!"

Seeing how nervous Tang Yuehua was, Ronan smiled faintly, pulled her into his embrace, and gently stroked her soft hair.

"Don't be afraid. It's over now," Ronan said calmly. "Yu Yuanzhen did come."

"Then... you..." Tang Yuehua's eyes widened as she looked Ronan over from head to toe, afraid that he might have suffered some hidden injury.

"Didn't I make a bet with you?" Ronan lowered his head and whispered into Tang Yuehua's ear.

"I told you that even if he came, I could handle him easily. Now, he's already turned into a pile of ashes."

"What?!" Tang Yuehua was struck dumb as if hit by lightning.

A level ninety-five Super Douluo, the sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, had simply... died?!

Seeing Tang Yuehua's adorably stunned expression, Ronan's smile deepened.

"Alright, the royal family can worry about what happens outside. It's time for us to rest."

Ronan scooped Tang Yuehua up in his arms and walked toward the bed.

"Pavilion Master, the night is still long. We mustn't waste such wonderful hours..."

"Ah..." Tang Yuehua let out a soft cry like a startled deer and hurriedly pressed her slender arms against Ronan's sturdy chest.

"Ronan, don't... I really can't tonight. I feel like my bones are about to fall apart. I truly can't take it anymore. You brute of a bull, please spare me..."

Ronan looked at Tang Yuehua's Beta, swollen like a cream puff, and decided to spare her.

If he kept going, he might just overturn the saying that there were only bulls exhausted to death, never fields plowed to ruin.

The bull was too strong; the field had been plowed apart...

"Fine. Since the Pavilion Master herself has begged for mercy, I'll let you off tonight."

"Sleep. Get some proper rest."

Tang Yuehua let out a sigh of relief and obediently rested her cheek against Ronan's broad chest.

Listening to his powerful heartbeat, she soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, news like a bolt from the blue instantly detonated across the entire city!

At an unbelievable speed, it spread wildly across the whole Douluo Continent like a tsunami!

Yu Yuanzhen, the level ninety-five Thunder Douluo and sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, had fallen!

The moment this news emerged, all of Heaven Dou City erupted.

In the streets and alleys, teahouses and taverns, everyone was frantically discussing this earth-shattering event that could alter the continent's balance of power.

"Have you heard? Yu Yuanzhen is dead! He died in the wilderness thirty li outside the city!"

"How is that possible?!"

"That was a level ninety-five Super Douluo, the owner of the strongest attack-type beast spirit in the world! Who could kill him?"

"It's absolutely true!"

"They say that when the Royal Knights arrived, all they found was a massive crater, scorched earth everywhere, and the mangled remains of Yu Yuanzhen's corpse!"

"It was horrible. Even his heart had been twisted to pieces!"

"Who did it?"

"Who had the power to kill Yu Yuanzhen?!"

"Could it have been Spirit Hall?"

As the news continued to ferment, certain details about the battlefield were also uncovered by interested parties.

It was said that when the great battle erupted outside the city last night, someone saw from afar the phantom of an enormous dragon radiating brilliant golden light and a sacred aura.

A light-attribute dragon spirit!

The moment this crucial information came out, the upper echelons of the Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects almost immediately turned their suspicious gazes toward the same person: Ronan!

After all, Ronan's spirit was the mutated Golden Sacred Dragon, and just yesterday afternoon, he had severely wounded Yu Yuanzhen's two sons, Yu Xiaogang and Yu Xiaolie, in front of Moonlight Pavilion.

Moreover, the fact that Ronan had been expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect was no secret among the major factions and sects!

The hatred between the two sides could be called irreconcilable.

Yu Yuanzhen leaving the city in the middle of the night had most likely been for the purpose of seeking revenge against Ronan.

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi frowned deeply as he read the secret report in his hand, his eyes filled with shock and gravity.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong sat on either side of him, their expressions equally grim.

"Fengzhi, do you think that kid named Ronan did it?" Bone Douluo asked in a low voice.

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head. "He certainly had a motive, but the strength doesn't add up."

"According to the intelligence we have, when Ronan last appeared in Heaven Dou City, he displayed extremely terrifying combat power. But his Soul Power Level could at most have been that of a Soul Saint, perhaps a Quasi-Soul Douluo at best."

"A Soul Saint, no matter how heaven-defying his spirit may be, could never kill a level ninety-five Super Douluo in a one-on-one fight."

"The gap between Titled Douluos is like a heavenly chasm, let alone a difference of two entire major realms."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin nodded in agreement. "That's right."

"I know Yu Yuanzhen's strength very well. Even if I wanted to kill him, I would have to pay an enormous price. That Ronan absolutely couldn't have done it."

"My guess is that it was some reclusive expert whom the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect had offended in the past. That person just happened to possess a light-attribute dragon spirit and took this opportunity to strike in secret."

The same conclusion was reached in the secret chambers of Spirit Hall and the various major factions.

Although Ronan was the prime suspect in terms of motive.

Under rational analysis, however, everyone ruled out the possibility of Ronan killing Yu Yuanzhen alone.

A Soul Saint could not possibly kill a level ninety-five Super Douluo!

Yet speculation was speculation. As one of Heaven Dou Empire's upper echelons, Prince Xue Xing could no longer sit still.

That very morning, Prince Xue Xing rushed to Moonlight Pavilion and went straight to Ronan.

"Ronan, tell me the truth. Yu Yuanzhen... was it you?!"

Prince Xue Xing was truly a little afraid of Ronan now.

If Yu Yuanzhen had really been killed by Ronan, then this young man's strength and methods were terrifying beyond measure!

Ronan set down his teacup. Seeing Prince Xue Xing's nervous appearance, he could not help but chuckle, an utterly innocent expression appearing on his face.

"Your Highness, you think too highly of me."

Ronan spread his hands and spoke with a helpless look on his face.
