Chapter 395: Leaving Early
Ye Tian walked toward the Earth Deity. Given the deity's poor physical condition, Ye Tian decided to help him. He tapped several acupuncture points on the deity's body, which immediately alleviated his pain.
"Earth Deity, it's alright. Just bear with it for a moment, and it'll pass."
Sure enough, after a short while, the Earth Deity's pain vanished. Not only that, but he also appeared at least ten years younger. The wrinkles and aged features that once marked his face had completely disappeared.
Those nearby were astonished by this transformation. They hadn't expected the pill to be so effective. With just a single dose, the Earth Deity now looked significantly younger.
"This is incredible! Your Longevity Elixir truly works wonders. You look at least ten years younger now!"
Hearing the crowd's reactions, the Earth Deity felt immense joy. Despite the pain he had endured moments ago, he now believed it had all been worth it. As the saying goes, "Bitter first, sweet later."
Meanwhile, the Golden List Livestream continued. However, Ye Tian wasn't particularly interested in the rewards being distributed. Seeing no point in staying, he left the livestream early.
But as soon as Ye Tian left, someone began secretly tailing him—Emperor Jun!
The Demon Clan's Emperor Jun had always been eager to enhance his strength. During a previous Golden List Livestream, he had obtained the Blood of the Demon Saint, which had significantly boosted his power and fortified his physical body.
"Ye Tian, you won't escape me this time!"
To Emperor Jun, Ye Tian was now prey. His goal was simple—rob Ye Tian of his treasures.
However, how could such intentions escape Ye Tian's notice? The moment he sensed someone tailing him, he felt neither fear nor concern. Instead, he played along, feigning ignorance, as if luring the hunter into a trap.
"Hmph, trying to tail me? You're far too inexperienced," Ye Tian muttered.
With a calm demeanor, he continued walking, fully aware that Emperor Jun was following close behind.
The weather took a turn for the worse, and soon, raindrops began falling. Ye Tian entered a narrow alley, and Emperor Jun seized the opportunity, blocking Ye Tian's path.
"Ye Tian, still thinking of running?"
"Emperor Jun!" Ye Tian glared at him. "What do you want?"
"What else? Hand over your treasures! You carry so many valuable items. Wouldn't it be a waste if they weren't put to better use?"
"A waste?"
"Exactly! So, hurry up and give them to me!"
"You really think you're in any position to demand that?" Ye Tian sneered. Did Emperor Jun truly believe he was stronger?
"Ye Tian, I know I wasn't your match before, but that's all in the past. Ever since I obtained the Blood of the Demon Saint, I've forged my body into a supreme sacred form. My strength and resilience have skyrocketed. You can't possibly defeat me now!"
"Is that so?"
Though Emperor Jun spoke with confidence, Ye Tian found it laughable. The gap between their strengths was still vast, yet Emperor Jun remained oblivious, even feeling smug about his supposed advantage.
Emperor Jun truly believed today was his chance to plunder Ye Tian's treasures. But he couldn't have been more wrong. Ye Tian was no pushover; there was no way he'd let someone like Emperor Jun take anything from him.
"Fine then. Let's see if your so-called confidence can actually help you defeat me," Ye Tian said coldly.
"Good! Prepare yourself!" Emperor Jun roared and lunged at Ye Tian with astonishing speed. The strength he had gained from the Golden List Livestream had indeed made him more formidable.
This newfound confidence was why he dared to challenge Ye Tian now. As the leader of the Demon Clan, he had always aimed to strengthen both himself and his people. He believed that defeating Ye Tian would grant him even greater power.
Ever since his rise, the world had come to fear his name. Yet, before his sudden emergence, no one had even heard of him—almost as if he had appeared out of nowhere.
Certain of victory, Emperor Jun launched a powerful punch aimed directly at Ye Tian. But the moment his fist should have connected, Ye Tian had vanished.
"What? I missed?" Emperor Jun gasped in disbelief. His speed was already exceptional, so how had Ye Tian evaded his attack so effortlessly?
"Ye Tian! If you have the guts, face me head-on!"
"I'm right above you."
Startled, Emperor Jun looked up to find Ye Tian floating in the air above him, hands behind his back, staring down like he was observing a mere clown.
Ye Tian found it almost amusing—Emperor Jun really thought he could rival him now?
"Seems you've underestimated me. You really thought you could take me down so easily?" Ye Tian's voice was calm but laced with disdain.
Emperor Jun frowned deeply. "Hmph, I didn't expect this, I'll admit. I thought defeating you would be simple. Clearly, I was wrong."
"Of course, you were. And now, you'll pay the price. You picked the wrong opponent."
Ye Tian had no intention of letting Emperor Jun leave unscathed. Since he dared to come after him, there would be consequences.
