Chapter 205: Wo Country Stronghold
"Boom boom boom!"
Just when everyone thought Ming Yi had been killed by Ye Ling, a series of booming noises suddenly came from the coast.
Then, Ming Yi, who had been absent for a while, reappeared above the sea, and the booming sounds were indeed emanating from within him.
"Hahaha! I must really thank you for this!"
"The bottleneck that has troubled me for decades, I never imagined that under the force of your two palms, I would find a glimmer of opportunity!"
"Entering the legendary supreme realm is not impossible!"
Ming Yi's crazed laughter immediately erupted.
As Ming Yi spoke, the sea behind him, originally calm and waveless, suddenly began to boil like hot water, stirring up wave after wave.
The waves grew larger and larger, and in just a few breaths, they became towering waves, rearing up dozens of feet high!
Ming Yi's aura was also rapidly soaring, seeming about to break through the pinnacle of the Martial King and step into a whole new realm.
The Eastern Sea King's expression turned extremely grave, and at this moment, Ming Yi no longer resembled a human being, but rather seemed like a superior being, looking down upon all the creatures of the world!
Even though the Eastern Sea King's strength was waning, he understood that, as Ming Yi had said, he had found the opportunity to step into a stronger realm!
Ye Ling looked indifferently at Ming Yi, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Merely having touched the threshold of the Emperor's realm, and yet daring to boast so wildly.
"To thank you, my fellow, I'll grant you a swift death!"
With towering waves in tow, Ming Yi charged at Ye Ling.
This time, Ming Yi wasn't sent flying as easily by Ye Ling's punch as before but raised his hand to block it.
"See that? This is the power of the supreme realm. Do you still think you can send me flying as before?"
"Hahaha! Perish!"
Ming Yi laughed as he spoke.
As he talked, Ye Ling counters with a grip on his arm, scoffing, "Merely reached the threshold of the Emperor's realm and you think yourself invincible?"
"If I was able to send you flying twice with ease, didn't you ever wonder what realm I am truly in?"
"An ant, while peering up from the bottom of a well, dares to prattle about the Empire's realm, how laughable."
Upon hearing this, Ming Yi's body shook violently, a look of disbelief in his eyes.
But before he could speak, Ye Ling's other hand had already slapped onto his chest.
"Crack!"
The sound of bones fracturing one after another resounded.
Ming Yi's face flushed red as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Fortunately for Ye Ling, who was quick enough to avoid being splattered with the blood.
This time, Ming Yi didn't fly backward, but instead collapsed weakly to the ground.
He stared at Ye Ling in disbelief and asked weakly, "You... what realm are you..."
"Heh, still haven't figured it out even in death?"
Ye Ling looked down at him from above, and then continued, "To defeat you, a peak Martial King, with ease, apart from that realm you dream of entering, what other possibility could there be?"
"Not even recognizing the power of the Emperor's realm, yet you aspire to step into it?"
As the words fell, Ming Yi breathed his last, his eyes filled with deep disbelief until death.
It seemed he couldn't believe he would be defeated so easily, nor could he believe that Ye Ling, at such a young age, could indeed be a powerhouse who had stepped into the Emperor's realm.
With the death of Ming Yi, the waves on the sea instantly subsided, and the ocean returned to its previous calm.
Ye Ling turned and returned to the side of the Eastern Sea King.
He spoke indifferently, "It's taken care of."
"Good! I didn't expect that you, young man, had truly stepped into the Imperial Realm!" the Eastern Sea King immediately nodded, speaking excitedly.
Ye Ling merely shook his head with a smile and said, "Let's go back."
Afterward, everyone directly left the Night Heaven Sect and returned to the Eastern Sea Military headquarters.
Leaving behind a group of Eastern Sea Martial Artists in disarray, Ming Yi, who could kill Mo Zhiyun, a quasi-War King, with his mere presence, was so easily dealt with by a young man beside the Eastern Sea King.
From start to finish, Ye Ling had only struck out with four palms, and the entire ordeal hadn't even gone over five minutes!
After returning to the Eastern Sea Military headquarters, Ye Ling did not immediately return to his villa but stayed with the Eastern Sea King.
"Northern Liao King, is there anything else?" asked the Eastern Sea King, seeing that Ye Ling had not left.
Ye Ling glanced at him with a smile and said, "The people of Sky Wolf Island above the Eastern Sea, I only killed their eight Island Masters. I didn't encounter the rest of them, so naturally, I didn't make a move against them."
Hearing this, the Eastern Sea King nodded slightly, clearly understanding Ye Ling's implication. Explore stories at My Virtual Library Empire
"I see, I'll send men to Sky Wolf Island right away to exterminate all the remaining bandits!" the Eastern Sea King said in a deep voice.
Ye Ling nodded slightly and then left the Eastern Sea King's villa to return to his own.
As for the fate of those bandits on Sky Wolf Island, Ye Ling did not care.
With the strength of the Eastern Sea Military, exterminating Sky Wolf Island lacking the eight Island Masters would be too easy.
At nightfall, the Eastern Sea King suddenly sought out Ye Ling.
"Ye Ling, all the people on Sky Wolf Island have been killed by my Eastern Sea Military."
"But, we found a man from Wo Country on Sky Wolf Island! And he told us a secret," the Eastern Sea King said gravely.
Ye Ling's brows raised slightly, clearly not expecting there to be a person from Wo Country on Sky Wolf Island.
"What did he say?" Ye Ling asked.
Without any hesitation, the Eastern Sea King said directly, "He said that in the international waters outside the Eastern Sea, there's a stronghold of Wo Country Samurai."
"It's precisely because of the existence of this Wo Country Samurai stronghold that the samurai were able to extend their reach to the Eastern Sea by colluding with Sky Wolf Island!"
Ye Ling's expression changed slightly, and a stark killing intent flashed in his eyes before he asked in a serious tone, "Do you know the specific location?"
"I do! However, the Wo Country Samurai committed suicide by poison after divulging these secrets," the Eastern Sea King replied, frowning, then continued, "He chose to commit suicide yet still divulged this secret to us. It seems he deliberately wants us to go to this Samurai stronghold to meet our demise!"
"What do you think about this?"
Ye Ling was silent and did not speak immediately.
Considering that the Wo Country Samurai took his own life right after revealing such information, it indicated that he wasn't afraid of death at all.
Since he wasn't afraid of death, yet he divulged the secrets of Wo Country, it was undoubtedly a ploy to lure the Eastern Sea King and others to their Samurai stronghold.
"No need to overthink, since Wo Country dares to reach into the territory of the Dragon Nation, it's natural to sever this overreaching hand of Wo Country!"
"Tomorrow, I will personally visit that stronghold!" Ye Ling finally said after a moment.
