As Lu Bancui slowly backed away atop his giant sheep, Ding Biao immediately moved closer to Ye Yu, a savage grin spreading across his face.

"Be a good boy and surrender. Maybe you'll suffer a little less."

Ye Yu spoke softly.

"You really think you've got me cornered?"

Ding Biao merely smiled without answering.

He had no idea how Ye Yu's strength had grown so dramatically in only a few months.

But he was, after all, a mid-stage Great God Realm cultivator, an entire major realm above Ye Yu. Capturing him should not be difficult.

Ye Yu smiled as well.

"To be honest, I'm definitely going back to the swamp someday. Just not now. But I don't mind killing you first and collecting a little interest from that Golden Lady ahead of schedule."

Lu Bancui remained silent, but his gaze had already changed.

Even now, Ye Yu showed not the slightest sign of panic.

There were only two possibilities.

Either he was bluffing.

Or he truly possessed a trump card capable of dealing with both of them.

No matter how Lu Bancui looked at it, the latter seemed far more likely.

His vigilance instantly rose.

Even the giant sheep beneath him sensed its master's thoughts. It let out a furious roar as its body abruptly doubled in size.

Its wool fell away completely, revealing muscles exaggerated to an almost absurd degree.

Its entire face became far more ferocious.

The saliva dripping from its mouth transformed into a highly corrosive liquid, burning the ground and producing plumes of white smoke.

At this moment, the foolish sheep looked genuinely terrifying.

Both Ye Yu and Ding Biao immediately noticed the change.

Though Ding Biao appeared rough and burly, his mind was exceptionally meticulous.

Even an old fox like Lu Bancui had become this cautious.

How could he afford not to be careful?

Ding Biao immediately halted his advance and formed hand seals.

"Heaven Shaking Trample!"

In an instant, the colossal phantom of a golden bull appeared behind him.

As the golden bull raised its head and roared toward the heavens, the surrounding space began to distort.

A force powerful enough to shake heaven and earth spread outward.

Across from him, Ye Yu formed the exact same seals.

The same Heaven Shaking Trample.

Another golden bull appeared behind him.

Though slightly smaller than Ding Biao's, the ancient aura and terrifying pressure it emitted were virtually identical.

The sight left Ding Biao completely stunned.

How was this possible?

Heaven Shaking Trample was a secret technique of the Savage Bull clan.

How could a demon god possibly learn it?

They weren't even the same race.

That's right.

What Ye Yu had used was a technique he had obtained in the Demon Race—the art known as Ultimate Imitation.

He rarely tested it under real combat conditions.

Unexpectedly, the results fell short of his expectations.

As expected, it was still limited by his cultivation realm.

Even though he had copied the technique perfectly, there remained a slight gap between his version and the original.

Looks like I'll need to find a way to upgrade this technique.

While thinking about that, Ye Yu seized the brief moment of shock on Ding Biao's face and ordered the golden bull to charge.

The next second, the giant golden bull behind him rushed forward.

Reaching Ding Biao, it leaped high into the air and brought down its hooves in a devastating stomp.

Ding Biao snapped out of his daze instantly and responded with the exact same move.

The two ancient golden bulls collided head-on.

Before either could fully complete its trampling attack, both were annihilated simultaneously.

The shockwave generated by the collision shattered every mountain range within ten thousand li.

Ding Biao was forced backward dozens of steps.

Ye Yu, meanwhile, remained standing firmly where he was.

The difference in the strength of their physiques was obvious at a glance.

Ye Yu said softly,

"Old man, don't be in such a hurry to leave."

The moment his words fell, countless torrents of seawater erupted from the previously calm land and instantly blocked Lu Bancui's path.

The old fox truly deserved his reputation.

However, he had not been planning to flee.

He had merely sensed that something was wrong and wanted to establish a safer distance.

Ideally, a position from which he could attack if the situation favored him and retreat if it didn't.

If Ding Biao proved capable of taking down Ye Yu, Lu Bancui wouldn't mind adding the finishing touch.

But if Ding Biao couldn't handle him, Lu Bancui still wanted a route of escape.

After all, he wasn't a God Clan member known for combat prowess.

Watching the seawater before him continuously shift and transform, Lu Bancui sneered.

"I've lived for so many years, yet this is the first time I've seen a Demon Race cultivator as unfocused as you."

"The physique of an Ancient Demon, heart demons, succubus temptations—you don't excel in any of them."

"Yet your demonic arts and water techniques are extraordinary."

"Could it be that your demon god body is fake?"

The words sounded like mockery.

In reality, Lu Bancui was trying to distract Ye Yu.

Hidden within his wide sleeves, his hands continuously changed seals, attempting to tear through the seawater ahead and escape.

But in the very next instant, a chilling sensation surged through his entire body.

Only then did Lu Bancui suddenly realize that the seawater had somehow already enveloped both him and the giant sheep beneath him.

When had this happened?

Shock exploded within his heart.

Just as he prepared to resist, he discovered that the surrounding currents had become incomparably sharp.

With a single thought from Ye Yu, this body of his would be torn apart.

One move had determined victory and defeat.

Lu Bancui no longer possessed the qualifications to resist.

Unless he intended to die together with his opponent, he could only remain motionless.

Meanwhile, more and more seawater continued to surge toward him, layer upon layer, completely sealing him inside.

After dealing with the old bastard, Ye Yu slowly walked toward Ding Biao.

"It's already been this long, and that shameless woman is still looking for me?"

"Seriously? Is it really necessary?"

Ding Biao took a deep breath, and his eyes sharpened.

"Ever since I met the Golden Lady, she has never suffered such a huge loss."

"Those two slaps of yours shook her Dao Heart so badly that she nearly fell from her cultivation realm."

"After that, she sent all of us managers out to search for you."

"She even issued a bounty throughout the God Realm."

"As long as someone captures you alive and brings you back, the reward is a mid-grade divine artifact."

"That's already an astronomical price for capturing a New God Realm cultivator."

"But none of us expected you to become this strong in such a short time."

"It looks like the bounty terms will have to be revised."

Hearing that, Ye Yu's expression became rather strange.

Wait.

Were those two slaps really that powerful?

Powerful enough to nearly make a Divine Lord Realm expert lose her cultivation realm?

In the end, it all came down to that old toad having far too much pride.
