At that moment, everyone was stunned. Pei Ye, who had already set one foot in mid-air, preparing to leap, was also taken aback.

From a bird's-eye view, the Yellow Bear Squad, led by a handsome young man, flowed into the arena like a black current, swiftly surrounding everyone on the field.

Hundreds of energy firearms with their dark muzzles were aimed at everyone standing in the arena; the blue and orange light at the muzzles pulsed, scorching the air.

The expressions of the powerful Ancient Martial Arts School members in the arena froze, their faces taut, their muscles unconsciously tensing and stiffening.

Lu Yuan quickly walked to Master Liudao Yuan's side, crouched down, and took a light blue vial of medicine from the hands of a brawny Red Bear member. He promptly injected it into Master Liudao Yuan's neck.

This emergency life-saving drug, a standard supply of the Yellow Bear Organization, was highly effective. In less than a breath, the blood gushing from Master Liudao Yuan's mouth ceased, and his condition gradually stabilized.

"URGH... URGH..."

Master Liudao Yuan seemed quite agitated upon seeing Lu Yuan; the irises in his mechanical eyes spun wildly, flashing blue.

He appeared to want to say something to Lu Yuan, but he couldn't form any words, though the muscles on his face twitched with effort.

"Do you mean this?"

Lu Yuan picked up a thin booklet from the ground and casually wiped off the bloodstains. The words "Overlord Fist Guide" were blurred and distorted, soaked through with blood.

"HUFF! HUFF!"

Master Liudao Yuan's body leaned backward, his gaunt chest heaving violently like a bellows, as if responding to Lu Yuan's words.

Lu Yuan carefully tucked the booklet into an inner pocket of his protective suit, gently patting it to show it was securely placed.

Looking back at Master Liudao Yuan, he asked, "I've put it away safely. Can you rest easy now?"

"HUFF... HUFF..."

Master Liudao Yuan's breathing gradually calmed, and the flashing blue light in his eyes slowly softened.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle at his appearance.

He summoned two White Bear members, who carefully lifted Master Liudao Yuan and quickly carried him off for treatment.

Only after watching Master Liudao Yuan's silhouette disappear through the Fly Shuttle's hatch did Lu Yuan finally let out a sigh of relief.

He slowly stood up and turned around.

He casually glanced at the headless corpse of a Penglai Apostle at his feet, then looked at the assembled Ancient Martial Arts experts who had participated in the siege, his expression turning utterly glacial.

At this moment, the various experts from the Ancient Martial Arts Schools present recognized Lu Yuan.

The night before the tournament officially began, Lu Yuan, accompanied by Master Liudao Yuan, had challenged thirteen top-tier sects.

Although their actions were low-key at the time, their deeds were later uncovered. Many sects came to know that the Poison Hand Crane Demon of the Crane Sect had accepted an exceptionally talented true disciple.

Now, they were seeing him in person.

What surprised them even more was that this monstrous talent also held a high-ranking position within the Sum Country's Yellow Bear Organization!

Lu Yuan ignored the various gazes directed his way—be they shocked, confused, awestruck, hostile, or filled with disbelief and incredulity.

He slightly lifted his hand and issued a simple order to the brawny Red Bear members behind him, "Take them all back. Execute any who resist on the spot!"

"Yes, sir!"

Accompanied by the Red Bear members' cold, hard reply, the hundreds of Yellow Bear members in the arena raised their firearms in unison, a crisp, unified sound of weapons being readied.

In an instant, the expressions of the numerous Ancient Martial Arts experts in the arena changed drastically; they all became tense and their faces turned grim.

Pei Ye remained frozen for quite some time, one foot poised to step forward.

His eyes twitched, just slightly.

His handsome face shifted between light and shadow, his expression constantly changing.

At this moment, Pei Ye was almost completely overwhelmed by a torrent of rage and despair. He felt as if a grand and solemn performance was reaching its climax, and it was almost time for him, the protagonist, to make his grand entrance. He had adjusted his appearance, full of anticipation, rubbing his palms together, ready to step onto the stage and enjoy it all... Suddenly, a large group of police rushed in, forcibly shut down the performance for operating without a license, and all the actors on stage were about to be taken away with their hands on their heads. The plans Pei Ye had meticulously prepared for so long... had completely gone up in smoke.

At this thought, the aura around him began to surge like boiling water.

A multitude of black moths, invisible to ordinary people, flew out from his body.

More and more appeared, eventually forming something like a black hurricane around him.

As it climbed to a certain peak...

BOOM!

This black hurricane transformed into a cyclone, spiraling upwards before violently erupting.

Pei Ye was completely enveloped in dense Black Qi, the hem of his windbreaker fluttering though there was no wind.

His facial features were obscured; only a pair of cold eyes could be seen in the blackness, glinting incessantly.

Staring at a spot below, a voice laced with venomous hatred and killing intent issued from his lips, "You... truly deserve to die!"

"Hm?!"

The instant Pei Ye's evil force erupted, Lu Yuan keenly sensed the fluctuations rippling through the air.

He whipped his head around, his eyes immediately spotting two figures standing atop a building several kilometers away.

Pei Ye!

A sharp glint flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes, and his body moved, about to charge in that direction.

But just as he shot forward, a figure abruptly appeared, blocking his path.

"You are the Poison Hand Crane... you are Master Liudao Yuan's true disciple?!"

The one blocking him was a tall, powerfully built young man, his aura as sharp and imposing as an unsheathed treasured sword.

He stood before Lu Yuan, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at him, and said, "I am Tong Lin of the Divine Intent Sect. I heard that Xue Guangyao of the Heart Refinement Sect also fell to you. You are Yellow Bear, and also an Ancient Fighter. Using your position to overwhelm others is no real skill. If you have the guts, fight me using Pure Martial arts, let's have a proper..."

The young man hadn't finished speaking when his fully extended martial sense suddenly detected an unprecedented, terrifying crisis.

In an instant, the hairs on his body stood on end, and his scalp went numb.

RUMBLE—

A black shadow, wrapped in the violent roar of thunder and wind, abruptly arrived beside his face.

He caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye, his pupils contracting. His True Intention Vigor erupted, and then...

BAM! With a tremendous muffled impact, the tall young man was sent flying by Lu Yuan's slap without uttering a sound. He flew sideways for more than ten meters before crashing into a concrete pillar and finally stopping.

Silence.

A deathly silence swept over the scene.

Lu Yuan didn't spare him a glance, flicking his hand in annoyance. He tossed a command to the Red Bear members behind him, "Keep an eye on things here."

Then, with a BOOM, his feet violently stomped, shattering a large section of the concrete ground. His entire body shot upwards like a cannonball, instantly flying off.

"You still dare to actively pursue me?!"

Pei Ye watched the figure leaping among the buildings, rapidly closing the distance between them. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he sneered murderously, "You're truly asking for death!"

After speaking, his windbreaker billowed, and he was about to surge forward to meet the pursuer.

But a large hand clamped down firmly on his shoulder.

"Are you insane?!"

A man in a black robe, as burly as a mountain, blocked Pei Ye's path and said coldly, "This place is full of Yellow Bear members. Let's leave first and think of a solution later... The person who caused your inner Demon to fester, isn't he still alive? You'll have another chance."

"HUFF... HUFF..."

Pei Ye's shoulders heaved for a moment, his eyes flashing wildly as if he were weighing his options.

Eventually, the killing intent and anger on his face gradually subsided, and he responded, "Alright."

At Lu Yuan's current speed, a distance of several kilometers could be covered in just a few breaths.

Even with buildings obstructing his path, it wouldn't extend this time by much.

Lu Yuan rapidly approached the two figures. His Spiritual Power scan revealed that one of them was emanating killing intent, rage, and fluctuations of evil force, as conspicuous as a lit torch in the darkness.

But just as he was about to catch up with them...

The latter's intense killing intent and evil force suddenly vanished without a trace. Then, he and the other figure turned and fled.

A brilliant light flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes. His thigh and calf muscles suddenly bulged, blue veins popping out.

Terrifying Physical Strength surged from beneath him. With a BOOM, he directly pulverized a concrete pylon taller than a man that he had used for leverage, his forward speed increasing by several tenths.

However, the latter's figures were erratic, like phantoms drifting back and forth among the buildings.

Lu Yuan casually slapped a nearby lamppost, shattering it.

Grasping the several-meter-long section of the lamppost in his hand, he adopted a throwing stance. His eyes and Spiritual Power simultaneously locked onto his target, his arm muscles bulging as he gathered strength, intending to hurl it violently to obstruct their escape.

However...

Lu Yuan's gaze shifted upwards, toward the bustling downtown area further ahead.

His eyes flickered...

Finally, he lowered the lamppost section in his hand.

He moved, leaping onto the roof of a nearby building.

He watched as the two figures receded into the distance.

The fleeing figures seemed well aware of Lu Yuan's concerns, even stopping a few kilometers away.

One of them, presumably Pei Ye, smiled at Lu Yuan, his mouth opening and closing as if speaking, and then made a waving gesture of farewell.

"See you next time... my dear Junior Brother of the Crane Sect."

"Next time..."

Lu Yuan watched as that figure turned and, with a leisurely gait, was about to disappear into the bustling city crowd.

His expression became tranquil as he murmured softly, "For you, with me, there will be no next time."

The next second, a red light burst forth in Lu Yuan's eyes.

Level 1[Hunting Perception].

Activated!

Disk City, Yellow Bear Sub-branch Base.

A bright, clean, and stark white room.

A fully enclosed white healing pod stood in the center of the room. It was connected to numerous advanced and complex instruments, their various indicator lights flashing, displaying streams of data.

Master Liudao Yuan lay quietly within the healing pod, his gaunt and damaged body completely submerged in a translucent healing fluid.

His snow-white hair and beard drifted in the liquid like seaweed, evoking an inexplicable sense of tranquility and peace.

Lu Yuan stood beside the healing pod, head bowed, gazing at Master Liudao Yuan inside as he spoke softly.

"It was Pei Ye who did this."

"You should have known, right? After all, you're so clever..."

"How do you want him to die?"

"When people slung mud at you, you should have just explained. When they attacked you, you should have begged for mercy."

"As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to fear a lack of firewood."

"Even children understand this principle. Did you need me to teach you?"

"You're an old man. Why did you have to gamble with your life against others...?"

"I'm leaving."

"You rest well... Liu."

Lu Yuan calmly walked out of the treatment room.

The Red Bear member waiting nearby immediately approached.

"Sir, all the members of the Ancient Martial Arts Schools have been captured by us. How should we deal with them?"

"Lock them up for now. We'll decide what to do with them after I return from my business."

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, the Red Bear member's expression shifted slightly. He immediately asked, "Sir, are you going to apprehend Pei Ye? I can mobilize men right now."

"No need."

Lu Yuan shook his head and said lightly, "I'll go alone. Too many people... will just scare him off."

"Er..."
