GROIKTP Chapter 462-2

The entire crowd was in an uproar!

The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned.

Zhichuang Master, Jiudao Road, and the other reincarnators from the Xia Kingdom were filled with terror.

Even the Western reincarnators wore expressions of shock and confusion.

None of them could understand why the Xia Kingdom’s reincarnators were turning on each other. What kind of game was being played here?

Only Adam remained calm, as if he had anticipated this.

Before tonight’s plan was set into motion, Adam had specifically investigated the grudge between Yiye Zhiqiu and Shura, using that knowledge to recruit Yiye Zhiqiu.

Adam was a cautious man. He would never proceed with a plan unless he was confident of its success.

Yiye Zhiqiu was his “trump card.”

Even Feng Shen had no idea about this card.

“Ye! Well done. Shura’s healing ability can no longer restore his injury. Finish him now!” Adam shouted.

Seeing Chen Ye bleeding profusely, Yiye Zhiqiu laughed heartily.

“Haha, Shura, so you have your day of reckoning too? Weren’t you always so arrogant? Well, today is the day you die!”

“Ye, are you insane?”

From a distance, Song Lingrong’s voice echoed, full of disbelief. “You actually colluded with Adam and betrayed your country?”

In response to Song Lingrong’s accusation, Yiye Zhiqiu merely smiled coldly. “Commander Song, don’t make it sound so harsh. I was forced to do this, all because of Shura.”

Song Lingrong furiously replied, “If you dare harm Shura further, there will be no place for you to hide in all of Xia Kingdom!”

Yiye Zhiqiu sneered with disdain.

Adam, standing nearby, laughed. “Song, I regret to inform you that Mr. Ye has been offered a position as a congressman in the great Sam Empire!”

Upon hearing this, Song Lingrong’s face turned ashen with rage.

She now understood completely—Yiye Zhiqiu and Adam had been conspiring together from the start.

Yiye Zhiqiu had been a crucial part of Adam’s plan all along.

…

In the Xia Kingdom, within the central seat of power.

In a vast meeting room, the elders watching Yiye Zhiqiu’s betrayal and his attack on Shura were filled with fury.

“Traitor!”

“How could the Ye family produce such a disgraceful scoundrel!”

“Shameless! Absolutely shameless!”

Even the highest commander was enraged beyond words.

He immediately gave orders, “Send the guard corps! Arrest everyone from the Ye family, and don’t let a single one escape!”

However, by this time, the Ye family had already quietly boarded a plane heading for the Sam Empire.

By the time they arrived to apprehend them, they would likely find no one…

…

Back on the former island nation.

In the air, Yiye Zhiqiu, full of confidence, slowly approached Chen Ye.

The other Xia Kingdom reincarnators were held back by their opponents, leaving them unable to save Chen Ye.

“Shura, you can’t blame me for this. If you want to blame anyone, blame your own arrogance. Now, it’s time for you to die!”

With these words, Yiye Zhiqiu raised his sword and aimed for Chen Ye’s forehead.

“No!!!”

Song Lingrong screamed, trying to rush in to save him, but Adam kept her pinned down. She didn’t even have the chance to use her Hana Hana no Mi (Flower-Flower Fruit) ability.

Adam was exerting all his power to create this opportunity for Yiye Zhiqiu.

“Buzz!”

The sword light flashed.

Just as the sharp blade was about to reach less than half an inch from Chen Ye’s forehead…

Suddenly!

A strong hand reached out and caught the blade.

Yiye Zhiqiu’s sword stopped in its tracks.

Shocked, Yiye Zhiqiu quickly looked toward the hand.

It was a large, blackened hand—coated in Armament Haki—firmly gripping his sword.

The blade, which could slice through almost anything, couldn’t even scratch the hand.

At the same time, Yiye Zhiqiu noticed that the wound near Chen Ye’s heart had stopped bleeding, and it was healing at a rapid pace visible to the naked eye.

In an instant!

Yiye Zhiqiu broke into a cold sweat, his entire body frozen in fear.

He could no longer detect any trace of weakness in Chen Ye.

All that remained was a terrifying aura, full of power—an aura of someone at their peak, capable of overwhelming anything in its path.

“You…”

Yiye Zhiqiu tugged desperately at his sword, but it wouldn’t budge. His face turned pale as if he had fallen into an icy abyss.

Chen Ye had fully recovered.

Just moments earlier, Chen Ye had used his ability: *Purify*.

The skill had immediately dispelled his weakened state, restoring him to peak condition.

Staring at Yiye Zhiqiu’s terrified expression, Chen Ye had no interest in asking questions.

To Chen Ye, Yiye Zhiqiu was already a dead man.

Chen Ye then shifted his gaze toward Adam.

“Adam, is this your trump card?” Chen Ye sighed, “I waited this long for this? How disappointing.”

*Boom!*

Adam forced Song Lingrong back with a powerful move, his expression shifting with uncertainty as he stared at Chen Ye.

“Shura, were you pretending earlier?”

Before Chen Ye could answer, Adam denied it himself, “No, that’s impossible. The ability you used against Feng Shen must have consumed a vast amount of energy… How are you still at full strength?”

“A dead man doesn’t need to know so much.”

With these words, Chen Ye prepared to strike.

Suddenly.

In front of him, Yiye Zhiqiu’s knees buckled, and he knelt mid-air before Chen Ye.

Though it wasn’t on the ground, kneeling while suspended in the air was even more difficult and humiliating.

But Yiye Zhiqiu no longer cared.

He knew that if Chen Ye attacked, he wouldn’t even have time to beg for his life.

He had already witnessed Chen Ye’s terrifying power firsthand. He knew that once Chen Ye made his move, death was certain.

“Shura, don’t kill me! I—I was blinded by greed. I shouldn’t have listened to those foreigners… Please spare me! I’ll give you all of my special items as compensation. Just let me live!”

Chen Ye, standing tall, gazed down at Yiye Zhiqiu coldly.

To him, someone like Yiye Zhiqiu, devoid of any principles or dignity, wasn’t worth speaking to.

Exchanging even one more word with him would be an insult.

In the next moment.

Chen Ye raised his fist.

At that moment, every reincarnator stopped fighting and turned their attention to Chen Ye.

Seeing that Chen Ye was about to strike, none of the other Xia Kingdom reincarnators, including Song Lingrong, said a word. None dared to plead for Yiye Zhiqiu’s life.

They had all seen Yiye Zhiqiu’s disgraceful betrayal.

No one wanted to associate with someone like him!

Furthermore, Yiye Zhiqiu had cut off his own path. Who would dare risk offending Shura to plead for him?

Only a fool would!

…

Under the immense pressure of impending death, Yiye Zhiqiu’s expression suddenly turned vicious.

“Sky-Piercing Immortal Slash!”

With a shout, Yiye Zhiqiu launched his most powerful sword technique at Chen Ye.

But Chen Ye remained unfazed. He simply activated his Armament Haki, not even bothering to dodge.

His *Death Sense* barely even reacted to the attack. It told him Yiye Zhiqiu’s “Sky-Piercing Immortal Slash” posed no threat at all—at best, it would be like a tickle!

The Sky-Piercing Immortal Slash was one of the strongest sword techniques.

But that depended on who wielded it.

If it had been someone like Ye Gucheng using this technique, perhaps Chen Ye might have taken it seriously.

But Yiye Zhiqiu? He wasn’t even close!

In response to Yiye Zhiqiu’s strongest move, Chen Ye simply threw a punch.

A plain and simple punch.

At most, it was enhanced with some of the destructive power of his Gura Gura no Mi (Tremor-Tremor Fruit)…

*Boom!*

The void shattered under the force of his punch.

The countless sword shadows that filled the sky were obliterated in an instant under the pressure of Chen Ye’s strike.

Yiye Zhiqiu’s body exploded into countless pieces in a flash of despair, scattering into the sea below.

Before long, he would become food for the fish, consumed by the ocean…

…

Thus ended the life of Yiye Zhiqiu, ranked 87th on the global leaderboard.

He was annihilated with a single punch by S-rank powerhouse Shura, leaving no trace behind.

The Xia Kingdom reincarnators watched with complicated expressions.

They all understood that Yiye Zhiqiu’s fate had been sealed by his own choices.

As for the foreign reincarnators, they were filled with fear.

From that one punch, they realized the truth—Shura had returned to full strength. There was no sign of weakness left.

Meanwhile, Chen Ye simply brushed off the dust from his fingers, looking over at Adam as if he had just squashed a bug.

“Adam, now it’s your turn!”

Chen Ye declared his intent to hunt.
