Ordinary people may have thought that he lied about acquiring the Purple Honeysuckles because he wanted to keep them for himself. Ye Tianyi was afraid that he may have killed the others in the cave. 

Ye Tianyi had some reservations about him from the beginning. Risking his life for 40 million? No, definitely not! The annual income of his company was by the millions. He led a wealthy life. Surely, this was not for the 40 million! If he completed the mission, he could very well pay the others with that enormous prize. There was no need to kill them, so was it for fame?

Fame may be much more important to him! Moreover, this was the demon beast domain. Nobody would pay any attention to a couple of people getting killed. He just had to tell the others that they were killed by a demon beast and that he felt very bad, too. Plus, there was no need for compensation since they all signed the contract stating that in the event of death during this trip, they would not be compensated. It was a mutual understanding. Thus, it was highly likely that he killed them for the prize that was worth millions. 

Shang Yu was such a phony!

But Ye Tianyi could not call him out. He would kill them all!

“Now that there’s only the four of us, should we continue the search?”

Shang Yu’s thoughts were not far from Ye Tianyi’s conjecture. He did not want to pay them the reward. He would be the hero of the story whenever he recounted how he took care of it all by himself, and all eyes would be on him. There was a great difference between the notion of ten heroes and just one. He would be able to increase the popularity of his company at the cost of a few lives. What team members? They meant nothing to him. 

“Of course, so that their deaths wouldn’t be in vain, right?” Shang Yu said.

He needed an opportunity to kill them. He must remain vigilant. Although he knew they were not as strong as him, what if something went wrong?

“Alright. Please, take the lead, captain,” Yang Chusheng said.

“Follow me closely.”

Shang Yu moved forward after speaking.

At that very moment, Yang Chusheng drew his sword and charged at Shang Yu with all his might.

Shiiiing—

Shang Yu’s waist was wounded. Luckily, he reacted fast enough to avoid a fatal injury.

Xing Baobao was stunned. What had just happened? Why were they fighting each other?

Ye Tianyi pulled Xing Baobao behind him.

Yang Chusheng must have noticed what he did.

“Yang Chusheng, what is the meaning of this?”

Shang Yu wiped the blood on his waist and stared at Yang Chusheng.

“Captain Shang, that was some scheme you had, killing all your team members to keep the Purple Honeysuckles to yourself,” Yang Chucheng said coldly as he pointed his sword at Shang Yu. 

“What do you mean, Yang Chusheng? They were killed by a demon beast, not me.”

Ye Tianyi was worried. He was right. He wasn’t sure if the three of them could beat him, so he was looking for ideas. He was planning to attack when Shang Yu was not paying attention, but Yang Chusheng attacked him immediately. He must have thought that attacking him from behind was his best chance. 

But Ye Tianyi could understand, he could sense his power. He must be at the Spirit Forging stage, the same as Shang Yu. He thought he could beat Shang Yu but he underestimated him.

“Still acting?” 

Yang Chusheng took a miniature listening device from behind his ear and threw it at Shang Yu.

“You bugged me?” 

Shang Yu’s expression changed.

“I never suspected you, but I’m vigilant when it comes to working with strangers. That’s why I bugged you,” Yang Chusheng said coldly.

“Hmph! Well, there’s no point hiding it now that I’ve been busted. You could’ve lived a little longer. I would’ve spared your lives. But now…”

Lighting flowed through Shang Yu’s body.

“Spirit Forging stage: level five. I’m not any weaker than you!”

The power of Yang Chushen’s Spirit Forging stage: level three burst forth.

Xing Baobao may be naive, but she could tell what was going on and she, too, unleashed her power—Spirit Forging stage: level two. 

Shang Yu laughed and said, “Two with the Spirit Forging stage. You concealed that very well.”

“There’s nothing wrong with concealing our true power! What about you, brother?

Yang Chusheng looked at Ye Tianyi.

With two of them at the Spirit Forging stage: level two and level three, they had just as good a chance of beating a level five. If Ye Tianyi revealed his true power, they could beat Shang Yu.

Ye Tianyi shrugged reluctantly, “Brother, I’m not in the Spirit Forging stage.”

Yang Chusheng, “…”

He had assumed Ye Tianyi was in the Spirit Forging stage and thought he was extraordinary, but apparently, he was not? They had to be careful during the battle.

“Brother Tianyi, I’ll protect you.” 

Xing Baobao stood in front of Ye Tianyi.

“Hah—” 

Shang Yu laughed.

“You’re not the only one that knows how to conceal their power.”

Shoosh—

Shang Yu revealed his Profound Heaven stage power. It suffocated them. 

“What!”

Everybody’s pupils constricted.

“Since you’ve revealed yourselves, there’s no need for me to hide anymore.”

Shang Yu’s lightning subdued them. 

He was at the Profound Heaven stage. He could have killed them after obtaining the Purple Honeysuckles. There was no need to act, but he was just being cautious. As someone who loved reading novels, he knew that there was always a plot twist that was always caused by carelessness. He thought it would be safer to take extra precautions, but there was no need for that now.

Yang Chusheng miscalculated.

They were doomed!

The notion popped up in their mind. Of course, Ye Tianyi had not thought about it.

“Brother Tianyi, run! I’ll hold him back!”

The power in Xing Baobao’s body was surging.

“Silly girl, let me ask you. Would you be my girlfriend if we lived?” Ye Tianyi smiled and stroked her rosy cheeks.

“Ah?”

Xing Baobao bit her lip lightly and nodded aggressively.

The moment seemed bleak for Yang Chusheng, and here they were, talking about love?

“Take that!”

Shang Yu’s lightning struck again.

“Wait!”

Ye Tianyi ran in front of Xing Baobao and looked at him.

“We’re going to die soon, so give us a chance to say our last words,” Ye Tianyi pleaded.

“Jeez—alright.”

Shang Yu laughed disdainfully. Ye Tianyi extended his hand and a red color bead appeared in his palm.

“This is a recording device. Since Master Shang is so wealthy, you must’ve seen this before.”

Shang Yu did not know what it was, but said, “Of course.”

“I’ll begin recording then.”

Ye Tianyi held the ‘recording device’ and said, “Sis, when you hear this, I will no longer be alive. Please, take good care of yourself.”

Ye Tianyi looked at Shang Yu after he finished recording. “Please, pass this to my sister. Her name is Ye Biluo.”

Ye Tianyi threw the ‘recording device’ to Shang Yu.

Shang Yu extended his hand to catch it.

“Get down!” Ye Tianyi shouted, shielding Xing Baobao. Everybody fell to the ground.

Boom—
