Upon hearing this, the Rogue Cultivator couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.
Ye Xuan joined the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association?
So, in these people's eyes, Ye Xuan's backer is Xue Zhaohai?
At that moment, they were completely at a loss for words.
If these people knew that Xue Zhaohai had been killed by Ye Xuan, I wonder what they would think.
"My cultivation has affected you? You think I can do whatever I want?" Ye Xuan couldn't help but sneer. "I cultivate my own things, what's it to you? How has it affected you?"
"Besides, even if I have affected you, you can target me, but why harm innocent people? Does everyone here have affected you?"
Ye Xuan scoffed disdainfully. "To put it bluntly, don't you think I'm easy to bully, and that the people in the lower deck have no background and are weak and easily bullied?"
"If I were a Saint Realm expert, would you dare come down here? Don't even mention just affecting you; even if I slapped you, would you dare utter a single word?"
Ye Xuan showed absolutely no politeness, speaking arrogantly and conceitedly.
"Insect, what are you saying? How dare you insult me? Are you courting death?"
Upon hearing this, the Venerable Realm was also furious.
He roared, stepped forward, and slapped Ye Xuan across the face.
How dare that insignificant ant insult him, calling his words "farts"? He's practically asking for death.
"Looking for death? I think you're the one who's looking for death!"
Seeing that the other party had made a move, Ye Xuan didn't bother with any words. He instantly unleashed his Power of Rules, and the next moment, he stepped forward and threw a punch.
With a loud bang, the fist and palm collided in mid-air, producing a loud explosion. Immediately afterward, the palm print unleashed by the Venerable Realm was torn apart.
Seeing this, horror surged in his eyes, but he didn't have time to make a next move before Ye Xuan's fist instantly turned into a palm and landed on his face.
With a crisp, clear snap.
With a "pfft," the Venerable One spat out a mouthful of blood, his teeth splattering out along with the blood, before being sent flying.
He knocked down several cultivators behind him before he could barely regain his balance.
At this moment, everyone's expression changed except for the Rogue Cultivator who were originally in the lower deck.
A single, powerful punch shattered Venerable Realm —what kind of strength is that?
Furthermore, they actually sensed an incredibly powerful Power of Rules —how is that possible?
The leading Half-Saint also looked at Ye Xuan with a shocked expression, hardly believing his eyes.
"You, you're Venerable Realm? You've been hiding your strength?"
He was indeed deeply shocked, because in his perception, Ye Xuan's cultivation was only at the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Ye Xuan, however, didn't bother to answer and simply said, "I dislike killing, but I'm not someone who can't distinguish right from wrong."
"Since you're all here, hand over your storage rings and get out of here. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the many cultivators, led by the Half-Saint, all changed.
How arrogant!
One person dared to threaten hundreds of them?
This is incredibly audacious.
If Ye Xuan hadn't said those words, they might have actually been wary and retreated.
However, since Ye Xuan had actually said such a thing, they couldn't let it go so easily.
Hand over the storage ring? Are you kidding me?
For cultivators, this is not only a tremendous disgrace, but also the most serious provocation.
You should know that a storage ring is the most important thing a cultivator has. Most cultivators store all their resources in their storage rings.
It's no exaggeration to say that demanding their storage rings is tantamount to killing them; it's a matter of life and death.
"You're too arrogant!"
"Who do you think you are, daring to demand our storage rings?"
"How ridiculous! Do you really think that just because you're Venerable, you can act with impunity!"
"Arrogant! Utterly arrogant! Attack him together and kill him first!"
"How dare a mere Rogue Cultivator provoke us like this? He's courting death!"
As soon as Ye Xuan finished speaking, before the powerful figures could even utter a word, the weaker ones behind them couldn't help but shout angrily.
He's just a mere cultivator living in the lower decks. So what if he's allied with the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association? Does he really think they can be easily manipulated?
It's important to understand that while their individual strength may not be exceptional, each of them possesses a powerful and influential background.
Even Xue Zhaohai himself would never dare to offend so many of them without a huge conflict of interest, let alone Ye Xuan.
The first Half-Saint also had a gloomy expression. He looked coldly at Ye Xuan and sneered:
"Kid, do you really think you can be so arrogant just because you've joined the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association and gotten close to Xue Zhaohai? As the saying goes, loose lips sink ships; some things aren't meant to be said lightly."
"Believe it or not, even if I were to kill you now, Xue Zhaohai wouldn't stand up for you?"
The Half-Saint's eyes were cold, his aura was surging, and his killing intent soared to the sky!
Ye Xuan, however, remained completely unfazed, calmly saying, "If you don't believe me, then try and see if I can kill you!"
Just kidding, his Power of Rules also has a limit to the number of times it can be used.
If he hadn't wasted any of the Power of Rules attempts, that would have been fine, but he also didn't want to make enemies out of thin air and offend so many people.
But since these people have come, provoked him first, and even made him waste one of his Power of Rule Suppression, then he shouldn't blame him for being impolite.
As for offending people, Ye Xuan didn't care at all.
He's offended so many people, he doesn't care about offending a few more.
Besides, he's about to leave this place for the Great Saint Sect Sect's territory, so why should he care about so much?
"You—" Upon hearing Ye Xuan's reply, the Half-Saint's face flushed crimson, and he was utterly at a loss for words.
He was Half-Saint level expert, yet Ye Xuan showed him such disrespect and even dared to threaten him?
For a moment, he was unsure whether Ye Xuan was truly confident or just bluffing.
Ye Xuan had no time to waste and said forcefully, "I'll give you ten breaths to hand over your storage rings, or you'll die!"
As soon as the word "death" was uttered, Ye Xuan's aura suddenly surged, instantly reaching the Peak Divine Emperor.
Sensing the powerful aura emanating from Ye Xuan, everyone's expression changed slightly again, but they also breathed a sigh of relief.
So what if he's Divine Emperor? Even if he's Divine Emperor capable of killing Venerable despite being of a higher level, so what?
They are still no match for Half-Saint.
"Fine, fine, I wasn't planning on killing you, but since you're courting death, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The Half-Saint was also furious.
As a Half-Saint, how could he tolerate being repeatedly provoked by an ant?
If he doesn't take action to suppress this, he'll have no face to continue living in the public eye.
With a furious roar, he stopped wasting words and, while his Half-Saint Domain was relentlessly crushing Ye Xuan, he also charged forward!
