The Supreme Grand Elder snorted and said, "Yuwen, you old dog, you've forcefully increased your cultivation level. I don't think your Ninth-grade Pre-Emperor is stable yet, am I right?"
"You've just reached the Ninth-grade of the Pre-Emperor realm and you dare to challenge me? Just because there's an Eighth-grade Pre-Emperor with you?" the Supreme Grand Elder said in disdain.
Patriarch Yuwen's eyes flickered. Ye Zhen's eyes were quite sharp.
He said, "I did indeed forcefully raise my cultivation level, but it's enough to deal with you!"
Patriarch Shentu said, "Even if you were a Semi-Grand Emperor, the two of us can still kill you here, let alone a Ninth-grade Pre-Emperor!"
Then, the aura of a Eighth-grade Pre-emperor around Patriarch Shentu rippled.
Ferocious qi filled the sky.
Even the butcher knife that Ye Tu was controlling was about to break free from the Chaos qi and fly back to Patriarch Shentu.
Patriarch Shentu frowned slightly as he looked at the Heaven-Slaughtering Saber, which was wrapped in Chaos qi.
"Why is the Shentu family's Demi-Emperor Weapon there?" Patriarch Shentu asked in confusion.
Shentu Kui was at a loss for words. He said, "Patriarch, this Ye Tu used despicable means to forcefully take control of our Heaven-Slaughtering Saber."
Patriarch Shentu coldly snorted and said, "Chief Ye, quickly return the Shentu family's Demi-Emperor Weapon!"
Ye Tu looked at Patriarch Shentu and smiled, "What do you mean by your Demi-Emperor Weapon? This butcher knife is used by the Ye family to kill pigs! Does the Shentu family want to snatch it from us?"
Patriarch Shentu's eyelids twitched as the humiliation angered him.
He said, "Arrogant brat! The Ye family's eloquence is quite impressive, but I'm going to level the Ye family to the ground today!"
Ye Tu sneered and said, "Level the Ye family to the ground? With your Eighth-grade Pre-Emperor cultivation? I've only cultivated for a thousand years and I'm already a Seventh-grade Pre-Emperor while you, an old dog, have cultivated for ten thousand years and only reached Eighth-grade. Why are you not ashamed?"
Patriarch Shentu angrily rebuked, "Today, I'll teach you on Ye Zhen's behalf what it means to respect your seniors!"
The ferocious qi around Patriarch Shentu instantly condensed into a large blade as he charged at Ye Tu
The surging power of an Eighth-grade Pre-Emperor rushed toward Ye Tu.
It was then a brilliant divine lightning descended from the sky, shattering Patriarch Shentu's large blade that was formed from his ferocious qi.
The Supreme Grand Elder shook his hand and said, "You attack my junior in front of me? Shentu, you old dog, you are really audacious!"
Patriarch Shentu's expression changed slightly as he looked at the Supreme Grand Patriarch.
The Ye family's Lightning Dao had been cultivated behind closed-door for 10,000 years and the Supreme Grand Patriarch had achieved total mastery.
Heaven and Earth Lighting was the strongest source of Yang energy in this world.
The Shentu family's ferocious qi was the strongest source of Yin energy.
The Lightning Dao that the Ye family cultivated just happened to counter the ferocious qi.
The Supreme Grand Patriarch said, "The Ye family does not need you to educate them, you old dog."
"Besides, it's a fact that you have only reached the Eighth-grade Pre-Emperor after cultivating for ten thousand years. The Shentu family is quite magnanimous, since you are not as embarrassed as we are," the Grand Supreme Patriarch said in a strange tone.
Patriarch Shentu's anger rose from the bottom of his heart. The ferocious qi condensed once again, turning into ferocious sabers that attacked the Supreme Grand Patriarch.
The Supreme Grand Patriarch's face was calm as he said, "Cheap tricks. Lightning, come forth!"
Following his shout, dark clouds instantly covered the sky.
Rolling heavenly lightning bolts poured down on Patriarch Shentu!
Patriarch Shentu said, "Other than the ferocious qi, the Shentu family also focuses on the cultivation of the body. What can a few lightning bolts do to my body that has been tempered many times?"
Patriarch Shentu's body shimmered under the lightning attack.
Heaven and Earth Lighting failed to leave a scratch on his body, which stated how strong his body was.
When the Supreme Grand Patriarch saw this, he was not too surprised and said, "If this won't do, I'll increase the intensity."
The lightning in the sky turned golden and became even more violent.
Several golden divine lightning bolts landed on the ground, the mountains and rivers within thousands of kilometers were annihilated by the lightning, turning into pools of lightning.
As for Patriarch Shentu, who was in the middle of the lightning, his shimmering body had already begun to dim after being struck by one golden divine lightning.
Patriarch Shentu's eyes flickered as he knew things had gotten worse.
Over the past ten thousand years, not only had his physical body become stronger, Ye Zhen's Lightning Dao had also become more unfathomable.
BOOM!
Patriarch Shentu's body could not withstand the lightning and he was sent flying.
The difference in strength between the two of them was immediately revealed.
Patriarch Shentu crawled up from the ground and said, "The Ye family's patriarch is powerful!"
The Supreme Grand Patriarch said, "Since when did an Eighth-grade Pre-Emperor dare to challenge me? I've killed countless Eighth-grade Pre-emperors, what can you two do even if you join forces?"
Patriarch Shentu looked at Patriarch Yuwen and said, "Are you confident enough?"
Patriarch Yuwen said, "Of course. Although you're restrained by Ye Zhen, it's still difficult for Ye Zhen to fight against so many people with just two fists. As time passes, he'll be suppressed and killed by us!"
"Bold words, Yuwen, you old dog. The Ninth-grade Pre-Emperor realm seems to give you a lot of confidence," the Supreme Grand Patriarch said.
…
Meanwhile, the retreating Ye family members noticed what happened.
"Look! Patriarch Yuwen and Patriarch Shentu are actually here!"
Everyone looked up at the sky and saw three patriarchs confronting each other.
"Hmph! The Yuwen and Shentu's family patriarchs are not the Supreme Grand Patriarch's match."
"That's true, but the Yuwen family's patriarch has already broken through to the Ninth-grade of the Pre-Emperor realm. Can the Supreme Grand Patriarch do it?"
"How can you not have confidence in our patriarch? The Yuwen family's patriarch is only a Ninth-grade Pre-Emperor, he's no match for the Supreme Grand Elder."
Ye Xing, who was at the back of the group, felt that he had nothing to do as he watched the Ye family members talking one after another.
He was only here to preside over the overall situation and let the younger generation of the Ye family retreat.
As for the rest, it was none of his business.
Then, something happened. A few rays of light flashed across the sky and landed in front of everyone.
"Stay alert! Enemy attack!" Ye Han said.
Everyone from the Ye family looked forward vigilantly.
They saw a few cultivators from the Yuwen family and Shentu family standing in front of them.
"Don't you know that you're already in trouble?" Shentu Er walked out and grinned.
Everyone from the Ye family looked nervous.
Grand Saint late-stage!
The enemy actually sent a late-stage Grand Saint to pursue them!
If they teamed up well enough, they could try to take down the Grand Saint.
"I'm afraid it's not enough to kill all of us with just a late-stage Grand Saint," Ye Han said.
"Oh? If the late-stage Grand Saint is not enough, then is the First-grade Pre-Emperor enough?" An old man walked out slowly. His aura had already reached the First-grade Pre-Emperor!
The Ye family members' pupils shrank, and they immediately panicked.
