Chapter 1678 - 1679: Doing One's Best

"These shrimp soldiers really think they can find a place. You're amazing!" In a matter of seconds, the seemingly strong men in black were knocked to the ground, groaning continuously.

The scrawny young man also looked dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Ye Lingyun to entirely disregard their presence, but now he was riding the tiger. In such a situation, it wasn't easy for him to retreat. He kept comforting himself that while in the elevator, he was mainly looking out for Boss Yang's face, not exerting himself. On the ground now, it's different—they're fighting on their home turf and may not necessarily lose. Even if defeated, Ye Lingyun couldn't do anything to him since they were at his base.

The young man clenched his teeth and shouted, charging at Ye Lingyun. Meanwhile, the spiritual pill domain emitted a unique golden aura. Instantly, his momentum changed completely, and his clothes fluttered in the wind.

A faint golden halo surrounded his body, and the air around him twisted like little serpents.

"Oh. Angry? Rage might increase your power, but before absolute power, it's futile." Ye Lingyun instantly released a surrounding black aura. The black aura was evidently more abundant than the scrawny young man's golden aura.

Seeing this scene, the scrawny young man couldn't help but worry. However, the arrow was on the string, and he could not send it. He still exerted all his strength, throwing a punch at Ye Lingyun.

Ye Lingyun could completely receive the punch, but for some reason, he didn't choose to take it directly, instead quickly dodging. With a bang, the punch, endowed with infinite power, struck the ladder behind Ye Lingyun. It looked as if the ladder was blown up by dynamite, and a deep pit immediately appeared.

Suddenly, the originally beautiful backyard was shrouded in a haze, simultaneously swirling up dust.

"Kid, why don't you dare take this? Are you scared?" His powerful fist full of strength, the boy had to avoid it. Suddenly, this scrawny young man's confidence greatly increased. He prepared for a second punch, locking onto Ye Lingyun's position.

At the right moment, the scrawny young man decisively struck, delivering another heavy punch towards Ye Lingyun. Ye Lingyun dodged again on the bridge. Meanwhile, the originally delicate wooden pavilion in the garden was smashed directly by the punch.

"How can you hit me so effortlessly, making it seem so easy?" Ling Ye said with a provocative expression.

"Seeking death." The scrawny young man was truly angry, wanting to do it again. A voice called from behind.

"Zhang'er, what are you doing? Are you going to tear down our backyard?" The voice was filled with anger, roaring like a beast ready to devour.

"It's him! Uncle Li. It's that kid who doesn't know how to behave, so I started teaching him a lesson when I heard the roar," the scrawny young man quickly calmed down, immediately shifting the blame onto Ye Lingyun.

"Damn, idiot. Did you see me punch once? You keep playing, alright. I'm just a victim." Ye Lingyun pretended to be innocent, smiling as he gazed at the scrawny young man.

"Alright, Zhang'er. Stop talking. Leave here. The damage you caused to our backyard is severe; you are fined three months' labor. And then you can help me repair this backyard." Uncle Li ignored the scrawny young man's explanation, issuing his orders. At the same time, he shot Ye Lingyun a glance.

"Resolved, kid. Although you are strong, you are not my opponent now. Understanding the situation, you can confidently execute the task." Li Siran was one of the two tall ones who carried Ye Lingyun back that night. At this moment, the provocation on his face continued as he spoke to Ye Lingyun.

"Resolved, kid. Although you are strong, you are not my opponent now. Understanding the situation, you can confidently execute the task." Li Siran was one of the two tall ones who carried Ye Lingyun back that night. At this moment, the provocation on his face continued as he spoke to Ye Lingyun.

"Don't delay. Within half a year, you are definitely not my opponent," Ye Lingyun dusted off the dirt from himself, glancing at the silent tall one.

"I look forward to what you'll be like in half a year!" The tall man lit a cigarette and began to smoke slowly.

Ye Lingyun walked toward the door, casually responding, without looking back. Wang Xiaoer wisely followed behind, and the two swaggered past the door.

"Uncle Li, are you really letting the kid leave like this? If you let the tiger go back to the mountain now, won't it bring disaster in the future?" The bone-thin young man was unwilling. Known for his pettiness, he would surely return.

"Hold on, Ye Lingyun. I will avenge you." He blamed Ye Lingyun. If Ye Lingyun hadn't come to take things and started a conflict with him, these events wouldn't have happened, making him so embarrassed. He swore to make Ye Lingyun look bad.

After Ye Lingyun and Wang Xiaoer left the city's maintenance base, they felt the air was free. "It's a good feeling to be free," Ye Lingyun took a deep breath, savoring the fresh air. Those oppressed know the value of freedom.

After regaining their freedom, the mood of the two was excellent. Old Man Yang was quite kind, even giving each a thousand yuan for travel expenses. Although their base was remote, the two had excellent physical training, quickly walking out of the suburb, arriving at the bustling city center.

The two had been quite depressed these days, so they immediately went to the best restaurant, ordering a table full of dishes to feast on.

"Have you heard? Recently, a monster might have appeared in the South Suburb. The police have sealed off the news. I have a friend who recorded a short video on WeChat. It's terrifying. Do you think there are ghosts in this world?" Ye Lingyun and Wang Xiaoer were busy sweeping through the food on the table, yet Ye Lingyun's ears were extremely sensitive and keen. The voices of those discussing were not loud but still clearly resonated in Ye Lingyun's ears.

"Nonsense, what kind of monster is there in this society? Let me see." The man in black was interested in what the man in black said, leaning forward to take a look.

"I don't believe it. Well, the video is on my phone, I'll send it to you." The young man in colorful clothes was skeptical of his peers, trying to prove himself. He immediately took out his phone, sending the video to the one at the table.

Ye Lingyun, having overheard, also grew curious, putting down his meal and approaching the two.

Because Ye Lingyun moved quietly and the two were focused solely on the phone in front of them, they didn't notice Ye Lingyun's arrival. The two immersed themselves in the video on the phone, and Ye Lingyun leaned in, eager to see.

The video was blurry, somewhat distant, but it was still evident that in the video, there was a red unidentified object slowly flying towards the sky from afar, as horrific dense lightning gathered in the sky simultaneously. The thunder was rumbling, yet there's no rain. Even seeing the lightning from this video, it felt like thousands of horses were charging. Suddenly, a light sphere flew towards the red object, hitting it. The video shook, finally ending with a scream.

"Isn't that the Vajra Corpse?" Ye Lingyun wasn't surprised upon seeing the video. He had been locked up for two days. He suspected that after obtaining the secret book, the Vajra Corpse would accelerate his cultivation pace. Without his restraint, he would certainly act more recklessly.

"What are you doing? Looking for someone to fight?" Ye Lingyun's head was squeezed in between the two during the video viewing. As they turned their heads, they found a large head in the center, shocking them. Despite the head looking young and handsome, it did not eliminate their vigilance towards strangers.

"No worries, no worries. I thought you were talking about a big deal! I'm the plainclothes detective here. Recently, I've been strictly investigating big crimes. You should pay attention!" Ye Lingyun was completely unflustered, beginning to brag effortlessly.
