Chapter 344 – Confrontation of God-Tier Innate Masters

As rage surged to his head, Ye Kuang unleashed a torrent of furious punches, each strike swift as thunder.

In an instant, the two clashed, erupting into a flurry of fists and kicks.

Boom!

The sound, like a sudden clap of thunder, reverberated without warning, filling the pitch-dark night sky with the crackling of lightning.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

At that moment, many were struck deaf, and the onlookers couldn’t hide their terrified gazes.

Ye Kuang was seen spitting a mouthful of crimson blood, crashing heavily into a pile of rubble.

In contrast, Cremation King’s face flushed deep red as he staggered backward uncontrollably.

“Is this… Innate Vigorous Qi?”

With each step he took, blood trickled more freely from the corner of his mouth, his eyes growing increasingly incredulous.

“A mere ant… could actually injure this king?”

But before his fragmented words fully faded, Cremation King seemed to descend into madness, roaring furiously, “I, one of the Eight Tycoons… you… deserve death!”

Meanwhile, Ye Kuang stomped backward, shattering a foot of debris beneath him, his own fury no less intense.

Suddenly, the gentle breeze turned into a raging gale, and under the night sky, a brilliant moonlight broke through, casting its glow upon the scene.

As the light fell upon the two figures standing face to face, the cold glints in their eyes were laid bare.

It was far from a still image—the pressure alone made the spectators hold their breath.

Ye Kuang: “Old man, you seem rather shocked.”

As he spoke, he spat another mouthful of blood, acting as if completely unfazed.

Unbeknownst to him, Cremation King, prideful of his status as a Tycoon, had always looked down upon others—even fellow Tycoons like the Golden Lion King were met with disdain.

Who would have thought that upon setting foot in a foreign land, he would suffer such a setback?

Moreover, he was injured by an Innate ant he had never regarded highly.

It was easy to imagine just how astonished Cremation King was.

Soon, it became clear that Cremation King halted his immediate intent to strike, demanding, “Brat, are you at the Innate realm?”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang didn’t conceal the frost in his gaze, letting out a series of mocking laughs. “You didn’t even bother to learn my background. Who gave you the confidence to come after me?”

But then, his tone shifted, exuding a fearless demeanor as he coldly continued, “But I might as well tell you—even if it’s just for injuring my brother earlier, I won’t let you off!”

Little did he know, these words sounded like the world’s most ridiculous joke to Cremation King, who responded with an equally icy snort. “With what? You?”

Unexpectedly, Ye Kuang showed no sign of denial.

“Hahaha! Arrogant! Wild!”

Amid his cold laughter, Cremation King seemed to find amusement for no reason, but as his laughter continued, it grew increasingly chilling. He then roared, “But this king has always enjoyed tormenting the wild ones. If you have any backers, bring them all. I fear you won’t have the means to quell this old man’s wrath in the end.”

Hearing this, even a rabbit would have been provoked to rage.

Let alone Ye Kuang, whose temperament grew ever more sharp and unyielding.”Hah! No need for excessive worry. There are no masters guarding this place. Since you dare come to my doorstep looking for trouble, you must have made thorough preparations…”

Before his words fully faded, the atmosphere visibly grew heavier.

For this world has never lacked those who are “both eloquent and ruthless,” and the current opponent clearly belonged to this category.

Seeing this, Cremation King’s cold gaze swept over the surrounding ants before circling back. He couldn’t help but laugh in exasperated anger: “Well done, boy! To see through my intentions so clearly – I must admit, just this display of intelligence already puts you a step above that waste Golden Lion King!”Waste?” A step above?”Ye Kuang initially appeared slightly stunned upon hearing this, then questioned skeptically: “You call Golden Lion King trash?” Then wouldn’t that make you useless as well?”

“Heh, in this world, there’s probably no one who dares insult me to my face. You’re the first, though unfortunately…”

Before finishing, Cremation King’s tone abruptly shifted as he murmured: “Courage doesn’t necessarily lead to good outcomes. For instance, you’re about to die very, very miserably!”

At this point, Cremation King casually turned his head to survey the surrounding supporters, unable to conceal his chilling intent as he continued: “As for those you call brothers, I’m afraid they’ll have to pay for your reckless words.”

Undeniably, these vicious words filled the entire courtyard with an icy aura.

Even Pang Hu and the other three, who had been shouting threats earlier, couldn’t help but draw sharp breaths.

In contrast, Ye Kuang advanced steadily with measured steps, speaking calmly: “You know, I’ve always hated being threatened most in my life. Whenever someone does this, I fear I might lose control and tear you apart alive!”

“Hahaha, excellent! Then by all means, try it. After all these years, this is the first time I’ve been threatened by country bumpkin ants.” Cremation King spoke as if stating an indisputable fact.

Hearing this, Ye Kuang instead stopped moving and said coldly: “Truthfully, we originally had no connection or intersection. But your previous actions have determined that you won’t leave here unscathed tonight.”

“This wouldn’t normally be a big deal, but you never should have harmed my brother. And since you’re also my senior’s sworn enemy, I naturally can’t let you go – even if it costs me my life!”

As Ye Kuang’s two statements fell, the emotions within the courtyard varied greatly, yet none could deny being deeply moved.

Just as the saying goes: Those who dare harm another’s brothers should expect brothers to seek retribution. Those who bully another’s woman should expect ruthless men to settle accounts thoroughly.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Cremation King couldn’t help but clap slowly, sneering: “Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous! A mere ant dares speak of keeping me here? You must either be sleepwalking or delusional!”

Ye Kuang shook his finger back and forth before offering a rare explanation: “As for those who come looking for trouble – others I might not concern myself with, but I will stop at nothing to keep you here.”

“The rise and fall of the nation concerns every common man. How could I alone remain untouched? Just as courage matters little when facing death, when life and death are seen as trivial, if you’re not convinced then let’s fight, fight, fight!!!”In an instant, the two sides were on the verge of a confrontation, which could indeed be described as: starting with provocation as the cause, the immediate consequence naturally had to be a “showdown of the Innate Main God.”
