Warning from Ye Li

Imperial Capital.

"The aura of Taboo, in that direction, could it be Jiangcheng?"

At the mountain peak, a figure sat on the ground.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked into the distance.

In his sight, black qi filled the air, and countless ghosts howled.

"Is Taboo interfering with reality again?"

Bai Zang's face changed, then he stomped his foot and soared into the air, shooting towards the distance.

He turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the sky.

Bai Zang, the Martial Saint of mankind, was one of the five strongest humans in Huaxia, capable of detonating countless anomalies with his physical body alone.

Not long after he left, the small mountain where he had been sitting cross-legged suddenly exploded.

The small mountain, several hundred meters tall, crumbled and dust filled the air.

Fortunately, it was a remote and uninhabited mountain, so it did not cause any disturbances.

Other powerful individuals cultivated their spiritual power and unleashed various spiritual abilities that covered the sky and obscured the sun when they made a move.

Bai Zang was different; he refined all his spiritual power into his physical body, which resulted in an incredibly terrifying physique.

He could withstand a nuclear bomb and shatter a mountain with a single punch.

He didn't care about the gravity of Blue Star at all; he was simply a walking beast.

"Bai Zang has already gone."

"If he's gone, then it's none of my business."

"That little girl, Xi Rou, suffered a great loss in Jiangcheng."

"No kidding, she even used the Ice God's contract. It must have been Taboo making a move."

"But why would Taboo descend upon such a small city?"

"Don't underestimate the heroes of the world, Old Madam."

The head of the family pushed her glasses and looked at the young man in a suit with his legs crossed.

"You indeed have a convincing way of putting it. The strongest human serving as a burden to others."

"I really don't know what you're thinking."

Xia Chengyan touched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Since I've come all this way, why not stay and have a meal?"

The Old Madam continued speaking with a smile.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Old Madam. But my wife wants to have hot pot today, so I'm in a hurry to go back and cook for her."

Xia Chengyan picked up the two pounds of beef bones on the table and politely declined the Old Madam's kindness.

"Oh, you! If you have time, bring that wife of yours for me to see, will you?"

Xia Chengyan paused for a moment.

"It wouldn't be appropriate for my lowly wife to step into the grandeur and embarrass herself in front of the Old Madam."

He touched his head, appearing somewhat embarrassed.

"Chengyan, I won't ask anything else of you, but there's one thing you must promise me."

Just as Xia Chengyan was about to turn and leave, the solemn voice of the Old Madam resounded.

Xia Chengyan froze in place.

Then he heard the Old Madam say each word clearly, "Jiangcheng must absolutely be safe."

"The child of Jingxing and Yue'er, my grandson, is in Jiangcheng."

"You must protect Jiangcheng, it is the ideal homeland of both Jingxing and Yue'er, Xia Chengyan."

Xia Chengyan turned around and respectfully bowed to the Old Madam.

"In the name of the Human Sun God, I assure you, Jiangcheng will not perish."

Indeed, Xia Chengyan was the Sun God, one of the five strongest humans.

Ten years ago, he, along with Ye Jingxing and Han Yue'er, were hailed as the peerless geniuses of Huaxia, bearing the beautiful title of "Sun, Moon, and Stars, reigning over Huaxia."

After saying that, he strode away.

This time, Jiangcheng had the attention of two of the strongest humans.

And there was also a Taboo from the mortal realm guarding the area.

Swoosh!

The brilliance of the sword flashed, and after a single strike, the long sword seemed to consciously revolve around Ye Li.

"Are you one of the strongest humans?"

The surprised voice of the Taboo rang out.

"Not quite."

Ye Li calmly responded, his expression serene.

The Taboo scrutinized him for a long time.

"There shouldn't be someone like you existing in the mortal realm."

Ye Li showed no fear.

"And there shouldn't be something like you existing in the mortal realm either."

The Taboo's face darkened, clearly getting angry.

"Humans, do not be arrogant. I have manifested a trace of my aura here, my true form concealed from the world, only to give you some face."

"I advise you not to take advantage of your words and stop while you're ahead."

Ye Li pondered for a moment and said, "Look down below, four luxurious cities have turned into ruins, devoid of life, with the earth cracking apart."

"Humanity has emerged from the barbaric era, building the seeds of civilization on Blue Star, spreading hope throughout the planet. And now, you have personally extinguished that spark."

The Taboo frowned.

"So what? Humans, mere ants and worms, allowing them to exist is already a great gift. How dare you ask for more?"

Ye Li chuckled lightly.

"So, that's where you and I differ."

He didn't say much more, reaching out with one hand into the void and gripping the long sword.

The edge of the sword pointed towards the sky.

"So, you are determined to fight me?" the Taboo asked with anger, causing the atmosphere to change.

"Not a fight, but a lesson."

"Taboo, prying into the mortal realm, treating all living beings as ants."

"But I, as the Divine Sword Immortal, do not believe in such nonsense."

"From now on, if any Taboo dares to extend its hand into the mortal realm, for every step they take, I will sever one."

"To me, you are nothing more than a warning to others, killing a chicken to scare the monkeys."

As soon as these words were spoken, Avalon, who had been suppressed by Ye Li earlier, regained consciousness.

She took a look.

Holy cow, this is intense!

Facing the Taboo openly, and speaking so boldly to its face, it's quite audacious. Are all people from Huaxia this arrogant? Even Ye Xirou below couldn't help but be astonished. She had heard about Ye Li's arrogant way of speaking, but seeing it firsthand today, it went beyond arrogance; it was simply madness. Even the person she knew who liked to show off, Uncle Xia, couldn't match this level of grandiosity. And on top of that, he was incredibly powerful, exuding an overwhelming presence.

"Very well, very well! It has been so many years since I've heard someone speak to me like this," the Taboo said.

"So long that I have even forgotten some things."

"Young man, you have truly angered me."

"Today, even if it comes at a cost, I will sever you right here."

A few strands of aura descended once again.

The terror of the Taboo's aura grew stronger.

"Taboo, I hope you don't disappoint me!" Ye Li's sword turned, and the longsword in his hand transformed into a stream of light, flying towards the Taboo. The sword energy flowed like a mighty river, unmatched and vast.

"With your sword gone, what will you use to fight against me?" the Taboo raised its hand and grabbed the longsword.

Below, Ye Xirou felt dizzy for a moment.

Big brother, you're a Sword Immortal, and you actually threw away your sword. What kind of Sword Immortal are you?

"Apologies, but swordsmanship is my weakest aspect," Ye Li softly spoke.

Indeed, he preferred the feeling of fists pounding into flesh.

Using a sword was purely for increasing his aura.

He reached out with one hand, clenched his fist, and threw a punch towards the Taboo.

Boom!

The space shattered, and spiritual energy surged.

An unparalleled force erupted, crossing over a hundred miles and piercing into the sky.

With this punch, the clouds were pierced, and the sky seemed to have a huge hole blasted into it.

"What an astonishing punch," the Taboo spoke, and horrifyingly, one could see that half of its face overlooking the mortal realm was shattered by Ye Li's punch.

"He can actually injure the Taboo!"

Avalon was completely dumbfounded.

"Just warming up, now the real battle begins," Ye Li said, rubbing his fist with a smile on his face.
