Ye Yuzhou knew he had to step in now. Whether or not the curator would see him in a different light depended on this.
"State Preceptor Zelo, please calm down."
Ye Yuzhou stepped forward to stop the man.
Out of everyone present, perhaps only Ye Yuzhou had the qualifications to stop him, and in fact, he could stop him.
Ruzero frowned and glanced at Ye Yuzhou. An expert of his level could easily tell that Ye Yuzhou wasn't an ordinary man. Not only was his cultivation level high, but his blood contract realm was even higher than a State Preceptor like him. Moreover, his pet beast was currently hidden in a large cloud. If he wasn't mistaken, it was also Rank 4.
Hence, although Ruzero was eager for revenge, he didn't act rashly.
"May I know who you are?" Ruzero asked.
Ye Yuzhou introduced himself. Ruzero nodded. "So it's Mr. Ye from Jade Dragon Kingdom. It's an honor to meet you. However, I have some personal matters to attend to today. I'll speak with you after I'm done."
Having said that, he continued forward.
Ye Yuzhou could only stop him again. "State Preceptor Zelo, I'm afraid you can't do what you want to do today."
"What?" Ruzero's expression turned hostile as he pointed up the hill. "The culprit who killed my son is up there. It's one thing if you don't avenge him, but can't I do the same?"
Ye Yuzhou had already figured out the ins and outs of this matter. At this moment, he explained everything in detail and advised, "State Preceptor Ze Luo, your son was in the wrong first. Listen to my advice and don't pursue this matter further."
Ruzero was enraged.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you order me around? "
Ruzero immediately turned hostile. With a shake of his staff, a wave of energy rippled out.
Ye Yuzhou knew that it would be naive to think that Ruzero would give up on his revenge just because of his son's death.
A fight was unavoidable today.
Then let's do it.
It wasn't wrong for the curator to protect his disciple. It wasn't wrong for Ruzero to avenge his son either. However, their standpoints were different. Ye Yuzhou was on the curator's side so no matter how reasonable Ruzero was, he couldn't let him go.
What was reality? This was reality.
At Ye Yuzhou's level, he had long since transcended the boundaries of good and evil, right and wrong. There was no such thing as absolute good and evil, right and wrong in this world.
Therefore, he did not feel any psychological burden at all.
If Ruzero wanted to make a move, so be it. After all, this wasn't Grassy Continent's Snake Country but Jade Dragon Kingdom's Maple City.
Facing this energy, Ye Yuzhou waved his sleeves and a wave of energy swept out as well. The two forces collided, and with a bang, a boulder between the two of them shattered.
Ruzero's expression turned cold. He could tell that Ye Yuzhou was determined to stop him from taking revenge, so there was nothing more to say.
"Sure, sure. I'll have a taste of Mr. Ye's skills then." After Ruzero said that, the wind and sand beneath his feet surged. Then, a tornado that was tens of feet tall appeared out of nowhere, sending sand and rocks flying towards Ye Yuzhou.
The latter stretched out his hand and made a grabbing motion. A stream of Sword Qi floated in the air. Then, Ye Yuzhou flicked his finger, and the Sword Qi immediately turned into droplets of water that shot out and destroyed the tornado.
Without another word, the two of them began to fight.
However, in terms of blood contract level, Ye Yuzhou clearly had the upper hand.
Ruzero could also see that Ye Yuzhou was impressive. He sneered and formed a spell. In the next moment, the Sand Snake coiled around his cane immediately slithered down. Then, it suddenly changed its size. In an instant, it became a huge snake that was more than a hundred feet long.
Sand swirled around this giant snake. Its fangs were razor-sharp, and as it swung its large tail, the rustling sound was so disturbing that people couldn't help but cover their ears to prevent the sound from entering their brains. But it was all in vain.
Many of the onlookers wore pained expressions.
Lin Jin obviously noticed the commotion as well. He looked at the yellow sand snake curiously, feeling the urge to go down and examine it with his coiled wire needle.
It was a pity that the coiled wire needle couldn't penetrate the snake at this distance.
Lin Jin wasn't in a hurry. There would always be a chance.
The Grassy Continent people's strength lay in their ferocious beasts. Although they were both Rank 4, this yellow sand snake was clearly superior to Ye Yuzhou's soaring cloud flood dragon, even if one was a snake and the other a flood dragon.
Flood dragons were the predecessors of dragons. Of course, this was only a legend. There were many similar theories, but no matter which one it was, a flood dragon was superior to a snake.
However, the current situation was one where the snake was stronger than the flood dragon.
Ye Yuzhou could tell that his soaring cloud flood dragon was slightly inferior when it came to pet beasts. To be able to become Snake Country's state preceptor, Ye Yuzhou was indeed capable.
However, Ye Yuzhou's strength lay in the support of various spells.
He invoked a spell and the mist around his soaring cloud flood dragon thickened. There seemed to be the sound of water within it. The soaring cloud flood dragon let out a long roar that drowned out the sound of the sand snake's tail.
The next instant, the two Rank 4 pet beasts clashed.
Both the Grassy Continent natives and Maple City's officials quickly dispersed. They didn't dare to get too close to a battle between Rank 4 pet beasts in case they got caught in the crossfire and died without even knowing how they died.
Among the officials, someone was puzzled. "Why is Mr. Ye fighting with the Grassy Continent natives?"
"I don't know. Logically speaking, the Grassy Continent natives could just take revenge on their own. There's no need to stop them."
"Shut up!" Zuo Wentang shouted at his subordinates when he heard them discussing.
"Mr. Ye is no ordinary person. There must be a reason why he's doing this. Don't talk nonsense."
Despite his words, Zuo Wentang was still very confused and curious. He couldn't figure out the reason behind this.
All he could do now was observe.
Ye Yuzhou and Ruzero stood on their respective boulders, casting their spells.
Ruzero made a hand seal and chanted an incantation.
He was clearly using a spell from the Grassy Continent.
A beam of light descended from the sky and landed on his yellow sand snake. In an instant, the snake's body expanded once again.
Before, it was only about a hundred feet long. Now, it had doubled in size.
In terms of size, Ye Yuzhou's soaring cloud flood dragon was now at a disadvantage.
A battle between giant beasts would obviously cause an earth-shattering commotion. A casual blow from one of them could shatter boulders and flatten a dense forest. Trees toppled in droves in this battle, creating a deafening sound that shook the earth.
Seeing that things weren't looking good, Ye Yuzhou immediately cast a spell.
"Shadow Dragon Technique!"
Ye Yuzhou clasped his palms together. His robes fluttered as he heard the mist around the soaring cloud flood dragon's body begin to gather. At the same time, the surrounding stream water was also sucked over, condensing around the soaring cloud flood dragon's body and forming the shape of a shadow dragon.
It was as if he'd used water to make a dragon robe around the soaring cloud flood dragon's body.
Dragon horns, dragon whiskers, dragon scales, and dragon claws — it was as if they were real.
With this, the soaring cloud flood dragon's strength increased greatly. Even though its size hadn't changed, it was now on par with the yellow sand snake.
The sounds of the two beasts fighting could be heard from tens of miles away. The forest was in a sorry state, and the ground was damaged.
The soaring cloud flood dragon spat out a cloud of water vapor. The vapor formed a pillar, enough to pierce through the mountains.
The yellow sand snake didn't dodge. Instead, it formed an armor of yellow sand and defended with all its might.
Loud noises rang out as the water vapor collided with each other. It was as if a sandstorm had started raining down on the area.
In the end, although the sand armor was broken, it didn't hurt the flood dragon. Instead, the yellow sand snake lashed out with its tail, striking the soaring cloud flood dragon. Not only did it shatter the layer of shadow dragon's water skin, but it also sent the soaring cloud flood dragon flying a thousand feet away, leaving a deep ravine in its wake. Dust and dirt flew everywhere.
Even someone like Zuo Wentang, who had seen much of the world, couldn't help but turn pale. He was so shocked by this Rank 4 battle that he couldn't speak.
Rank 4 beasts were the standard of an intermediate country. Now that two Rank 4 beasts were fighting each other, it was like a national war. It was both pleasing to the eye and shocking to the heart.
Even Lin Jin, who had been watching the battle from the top of the hill, was dumbfounded.
First of all, Rank 4 beasts could grow even larger. Standing before them, a human would inevitably look tiny. This was beyond the realm of human strength.
No matter how high one's cultivation level was, one couldn't possibly go up against such a high-level beast with their strength alone.
However, humans were indispensable.
Half of a beast's strength came from its body while the other half came from spell support.
Without spell support, these two beasts couldn't possibly be this powerful. A simple attack from them had the strength to collapse a mountain.
Lin Jin shook his head. He could tell that Ye Yuzhou's soaring cloud flood dragon was no match for the yellow sand snake. If they continued fighting, they would be at a disadvantage.
'If it's just a Rank 4 beast, I should be able to suppress it with deterrence. Even if I can't suppress it for long, I can still use my coiled wire needle to kill it, 'Lin Jin thought.
Ye Yuzhou's help was great, but if he couldn't hold it off, he would have to face it himself.
Of course, Lin Jin would remember Old Ye's favor.
The aura generated by the Rank 4 beast's battle had scared away all the beasts in the forest. Those that didn't manage to escape in time were now trembling in fear in their nests.
Even Goldy's breathing turned heavy under this pressure. This was clearly a huge impact on a beast.
Suddenly, an idea popped into Lin Jin's mind.
'That's not right. If I attack with a Rank 4 beast outside the range of deterrence, I won't be able to suppress it in time. I might even be killed. '
At this thought, Lin Jin's expression darkened.
Although the coiled wire needle was powerful, it wasn't invincible.
It was simple. If the snake tossed a boulder at him, the coiled wire needle wouldn't be able to stop it.
Lin Jin began to panic.
'Old Ye, hang in there, 'Lin Jin silently cheered Ye Yuzhou on.
Unfortunately, things didn't go according to his wishes.
After the yellow sand snake sent the soaring cloud flood dragon flying with a sweep of its tail, State Preceptor Luo controlled his pet beast to pounce toward the hill.
It was attacking.
Lin Jin took a deep breath as he tried to come up with a countermeasure. Now, he could only let Goldy take the brunt of the attack while he looked for a chance to strike. As for whether he could succeed, he didn't know.
Because Lin Jin wasn't sure if the coiled wire needle could penetrate the snake's yellow sand armor.
Goldy, on the other hand, looked fearless. He flapped his wings and charged forward fearlessly.
Whether he could withstand the attack aside, Goldy had never backed down in terms of momentum.
