Hundreds of Paragon realm powerhouses had surrounded Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress—and these weren’t just any Paragon realm cultivators, but experts among experts.
Under such circumstances, no one believed that Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress could survive.
Even the people of the Tian Yuan Universe thought the same.
For that reason, many of them closed their eyes in despair.
Others averted their gaze, doing their best not to look at Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress.
They knew that, in this situation, those two would very likely die.
So by not watching, they could spare themselves at least a little guilt.
And their behavior only made the people of the Yemo Tian Universe burst into laughter.
“Hahaha! I thought the cultivators of the Tian Yuan Universe were supposed to be so united—turns out they’re nothing special!”
“Ah, after all, it’s a death sentence. Who would willingly walk into that? We should be understanding!”
“Exactly! We really should understand—because, you know, they’re all cowards! Hahaha!”
Such words drew roaring laughter from the crowd.
In their eyes, the people of the Tian Yuan Universe looked absolutely ridiculous at that moment.
But just as they were howling with laughter, Ye Wushuang made his move.
His aura didn’t grow any stronger—but his speed increased dramatically.
In an instant, he appeared right beside one of the Paragon realm powerhouses and clamped his hand firmly around the man’s throat.
That grip made the Paragon realm powerhouse feel as if his vital point had been completely seized—no matter how he struggled, it was useless.
He also felt himself gradually suffocating.
As if, in the very next moment, he would be dead.
This was a sensation this Paragon realm powerhouse had never experienced before.
Especially after becoming a Paragon realm expert, he had believed he should never feel such suffocation.
But at this moment, he truly did feel like he was choking to death—and that death was imminent.
It was honestly hard for him to accept.
Yet at the same time, he had no choice but to accept it.
“Save… save me!!”
His eyes rolled back as he desperately cried for help.
Though his voice was faint, it caused many of the Yemo Tian Universe’s Paragon realm powerhouses to change expressions.
They could already tell—their comrade was in agonizing distress.
And at this point, he had no way out.
If they didn’t save him soon, he really might be strangled to death.
So some of them actually charged forward, trying to rescue him.
But they had only made it halfway when Ye Wushuang’s hand tightened.
Crack!
The sound of a neck snapping rang clearly in everyone’s ears.
Then, many of them saw—their Paragon realm powerhouse had been choked to death, just like that.
This manner of death was simply unbelievable—as if the one caught in Ye Wushuang’s grip wasn’t even a Paragon realm powerhouse at all.
Because only ordinary mortals could have their necks snapped so easily and killed so simply.
But now, Ye Wushuang had truly done it—he had killed a Paragon realm powerhouse as easily as killing a mortal.
This made many of the Paragon realm powerhouses become extremely cautious.
“Be careful—this kid is strange!”
“Everyone, watch out—there’s something off about him. It seems like his hands have some kind of special power. This might be one of his techniques!”
“Yes! Stay alert—his speed is also terrifyingly fast. I didn’t even see how he got close just now!”
At these words, the people of the Yemo Tian Universe grew even more wary.
Of course, caution aside, they still didn’t hesitate to close in on Ye Wushuang.
Many of them quickly moved toward him, eager to get close and finish him off.
Admittedly, their intentions were good—but actually carrying them out turned out to be completely different from what they had imagined.
Because Ye Wushuang was not standing still at all.
Once he had decided to act, he was certainly not the type to just sit back and take a beating.
In the next instant, Ye Wushuang suddenly appeared beside another Paragon realm powerhouse and threw a punch straight at him.
His speed was so blindingly fast that the Paragon realm powerhouse had no choice but to extend his own fist and forcibly block Ye Wushuang’s blow.
Since Ye Wushuang hadn’t previously displayed overwhelming physical strength, the Yemo Tian Universe Paragon realm powerhouse couldn’t help but feel relieved.
“If he had used his flames, I might not have been able to dodge!”
“But now—it’s just a simple punch. There’s no way that can do anything to me!”
He was confident that he could easily take this punch.
And so, as he threw his own punch, his face was completely relaxed.
Then—an excruciating, unbearable pain shot through him.
Ye Wushuang’s fist slammed directly into his.
In that instant, his hand shattered—bones crushed into powder.
But Ye Wushuang’s punch didn’t lose momentum. It continued driving forward and slammed into the Paragon realm powerhouse’s body.
In the blink of an eye, every bone in his body was pulverized.
Then he was reduced to a spray of flesh and vanished from the world.
Along with his flesh went his primordial spirit as well.
With just one punch, Ye Wushuang had obliterated a Paragon realm powerhouse—body and soul.
This made all those who had been charging over to kill him stop dead in their tracks.
Many of them couldn’t even comprehend Ye Wushuang’s attacks.
But that didn’t stop them from sensing the extreme threat lurking within them.
And so, every single one of these Yemo Tian Universe Paragon realm powerhouses dared not approach Ye Wushuang carelessly.
Ye Wushuang stood there alone, like a towering mountain amidst the crowd—fearless and unyielding.
It was as if he alone could take on all several hundred Paragon realm powerhouses.
No one knew where his confidence came from.
But the next moment, Ye Wushuang struck again.
“One force breaks all techniques!”
Ye Wushuang’s voice wasn’t loud, yet it reached the ears of many Paragon realm powerhouses of the Yemo Tian Universe.
Most of them couldn’t even grasp the meaning of those words.
All they saw was Ye Wushuang standing amid their encirclement, then suddenly throwing a punch toward one direction with overwhelming might.
That punch didn’t touch anyone.
Yet the moment it was unleashed, many of them suddenly felt a deadly threat.
As if there was something within that punch—something that could take their lives.
