The man who arrived was none other than the Valley Master of the Valley of the Dead, You Li!
Finally, he couldn't hold back and revealed himself.
Unable to bear seeing his most perfect creation destroyed, he made his appearance.
Even though he knew very well that his appearance was dangerous.
He chose to take the gamble.
The other party hadn't killed him before, but what about now?
"Get out of the way!"
Ye Ming looked at You Li before him, his expression neither joyful nor sorrowful, only revealing a hint of coldness.
"Sir! No matter what you ask, our Valley of the Dead will agree! Just please..."
*Bang!*
Before he could finish speaking, an invisible force struck his abdomen. The power of the energy was so immense that he had no power to resist.
"Ah!"
You Li's body flew backward, tracing a perfect parabola through the air. Blood gushed from his mouth, forming a "blood trail" as he plummeted.
He flew for nearly a hundred meters before crashing heavily onto the ground, creating a deep crater about a meter wide.
This impact not only made him cough up more blood but also allowed him to clearly feel that his internal bones and organs had shifted from their original positions. The soul-piercing agony almost caused him, a martial god realm expert, to faint.
Seeing this, the surrounding people were stunned.
Although they had heard that the Valley Master of the Valley of the Dead had been defeated by the young man before, they never imagined he would be defeated so thoroughly.
He didn't even have the strength to fight back.
"Is this... is this young man a monster! Too terrifying!"
"Did anyone see how he attacked just now?"
"N-no! His body didn't seem to move at all, and Valley Master You Li just flew out!"
"Hiss! I'd better stay farther away! What if he glances at me? I don't have Valley Master You Li's physique!"
"Good point!"
"..."
Ye Ming's actions caused everyone to retreat. They even spoke in hushed tones, afraid of attracting his attention.
After dealing with You Li, Ye Ming merely cast a cold glance at him before withdrawing his gaze.
A beast who could ruthlessly "modify" his own son, if not for fearing it would affect his overall plan, he would have killed him with a single blow.
You Ming naturally sensed the commotion.
But for some reason, when he saw his father being severely injured, his expression showed no fluctuation.
In the past, if anyone dared to hurt his father, he would have retaliated fiercely, even at the cost of his own life.
But now, he remained unmoved.
All of this, perhaps due to that sliver of "humanity" in Ye Ming's words.
At this moment, You Ming watched the young man walking towards him step by step. His heart was also very calm.
It was as if his fate no longer mattered.
Therefore, the fear he felt earlier when facing the young man had vanished.
Coincidentally, Ye Ming was also looking at him.
Their eyes met across the distance.
One was as pure as daylight.
The other was as dark as eternal night.
A stark contrast was formed.
"Very good!"
After staring at each other for a minute, Ye Ming suddenly smiled.
With a single finger pointed out, a gentle energy instantly entered You Ming's forehead. Before the latter could react, he felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him, and his consciousness began to blur.
A moment later, You Ming was still standing, but his eyes were closed.
Having done all this, Ye Ming nodded with satisfaction and then walked past You Ming towards Du Yuemian.
But strangely, You Ming followed behind him, moving in sync with his steps.
His eyes remained closed.
Seeing this, the onlookers were as if they had seen a ghost.
They were dumbfounded!
"What happened to him?"
Du Yuemian was no exception and asked in confusion.
"Things are a bit complicated, I'll explain later!" Ye Ming smiled, then pointed towards the testing platform and said, "Didn't you want to see your talent? Go ahead?"
Hearing this, Du Yuemian temporarily suppressed her curiosity.
"Okay!"
She then turned and walked towards the pearl used to test strength.
Since Du Yuemian was adept at using dual blades, her control over strength was naturally strong. Choosing to test her talent in this area was also reasonable.
Watching Du Yuemian ascend the testing platform, the onlookers watching from afar became excited.
Especially those from the inner circle and ancient martial artists, who seemed particularly enthusiastic.
After all, they knew quite a bit about this "Twin Moon Fairy."
"I remember the Twin Moon Fairy had the strength of the late Martial Lord realm during the competition for opportunities in the inner circle!"
"Late Martial Lord? That strong! The Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's Dragon Son, the Young Island Master of Wushuang Island, the Peerless Fairy, their realms are also around late Martial Lord!"
"That's right! The currently recognized top prodigy in the ancient martial world is Fairy Yao, only she has broken through to the Martial Emperor realm!"
"But! I heard before that the Twin Moon Fairy once injured a peak Martial Emperor expert, is that true?"
"It's true! Many people saw it at the time!"
"My heavens! A late Martial Lord injuring a peak Martial Emperor expert, this is too..."
"It seems that with the Twin Moon Fairy's talent, she is very likely to break ninety points!"
"Yes! I think so too!"
"..."
The onlookers' discussions were undoubtedly praise for Du Yuemian's strength.
It seemed that during the competition for opportunities in the inner circle, she had indeed made a name for herself.
At the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's encampment, Xi Yao watched Du Yuemian on the testing platform. Her state of mind was both excited and a little... complicated.
Compared to others, she knew Du Yuemian much better.
"Yuemian! I will catch up to you!"
When she whispered this in her heart, was it only due to her competitive spirit, or were there other factors at play?
Beside Xi Yao, her master, looked at her disciple's expression, which flickered between light and shadow, and lowered her gaze.
She didn't know what she was thinking!
Finally, a long sigh escaped her lips.
On the testing platform, Du Yuemian extended her hand and placed it on the device.
At this moment, her mood was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.
As a faint red light gradually bloomed within the pearl and began to shine brightly, her expression slowly relaxed.
*Swish!*
As the light shot towards the sky, all eyes converged on a single point.
One Zhang!
Without any suspense.
Two Zhang!
All within everyone's expectations.
When the light continued to ascend towards the heavens and reached three Zhang, everyone's breathing stopped.
It exceeded three Zhang!
But the light had not stopped yet.
Three Zhang and three Chi!
Three Zhang and five Chi!
It was still continuing.
Three Zhang and six Chi!
The speed began to slow down!
Three Zhang and seven Chi!
The final buffer!
Three Zhang... eight Chi!
It stopped!
The red light flowed back, and a number materialized in the pearl.
Talent value for strength:
Ninety-eight points!
