"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me? Are you saying you can't defeat him?"
Noticing that Yu Wuxia had directed his gaze toward him, Ye Huan easily deciphered the thoughts Yu Wuxia was trying to convey. As the most outstanding disciple of Yuxu Palace in recent years, Ye Huan did not disappoint Yu Wuxia. Under Yu Wuxia's watchful eyes, he slowly stood up. However, perhaps due to Yu Wuxia's frequent reprimands, as soon as Ye Huan opened his mouth, he bluntly stated the undeniable fact that Yu Wuxia could not defeat the Living Dead possessed by Hua Tuo. This immediately sparked yet another impulse in Yu Wuxia to strangle Ye Huan.
Yes, Yu Wuxia admitted to himself that he indeed could not defeat the Living Dead possessed by Hua Tuo. But even if he couldn't, there seemed to be no need to lay it bare for everyone to see. Yet here they were; Ye Huan's words clearly indicated that Yu Wuxia was incapable of defeating Hua Tuo, which would only embarrass him. How could Yu Wuxia not be furious?
Glaring angrily at Ye Huan, Yu Wuxia lost all restraint and directly said to Ye Huan, "You're right; I can't defeat this Living Dead. But what does that represent? At least I've tangled with him for a while. If you think you can do better, then come and try!"
"Fine, I'll come! I'll do it!"
Without hesitation, Ye Huan nodded at Yu Wuxia. Throughout their conversation, he had been observing the expression on the Living Dead possessed by Hua Tuo. Ye Huan had initially thought that revealing Yu Wuxia's inability to defeat the Living Dead would inflate Hua Tuo's ego. However, judging by the expressionless stance of the Living Dead, it seemed his tactic had failed.
In truth, Ye Huan's thinking was rather naive. Given that Hua Tuo had survived in this world for so long, if he weren't careful and prudent, he would have long since perished and wouldn't be here trying to seize Ye Huan's Summoning Book. Fortunately, although Hua Tuo did not change due to Ye Huan's words, Ye Huan had discovered the weakness of the Living Dead. In that regard, he considered himself somewhat lucky.
"You? Even the leader of Yuxu Palace cannot defeat me; what makes you think you can? Ye Huan, let me give you some advice: hand over the Summoning Book obediently, and I might make your death a bit more merciful instead of letting you suffer."
Casting a cold gaze at Ye Huan, who had just decided to take action, Hua Tuo did not appear as arrogant as Ye Huan had imagined. However, his words clearly conveyed that he looked down on Ye Huan. After all, there was an insurmountable gap between their Cultivator levels. Moreover, since even Yu Wuxia was no match for the Living Dead possessed by Hua Tuo, it was only natural for Hua Tuo to underestimate Ye Huan. If he truly regarded Ye Huan as an equal opponent, that would indeed be a tremendous joke.
'Let you be arrogant; let's see how long you can keep it up. The Living Dead is so powerful yet cannot use Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy—if there's no trickery involved here, I wouldn't believe it.'
From observing the earlier battle between Hua Tuo and Yu Wuxia, Ye Huan identified a critical weakness: the Living Dead could not utilize Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. He believed that aside from being unable to use Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy itself, the Living Dead's body likely rejected it as well. If he could inject Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy into the Living Dead possessed by Hua Tuo, just that energy alone might be enough to take its life. Hence why Ye Huan readily agreed to confront the Living Dead on behalf of Yu Wuxia. With these thoughts in mind, a slight smile appeared on his face as he calmly retorted to the Living Dead possessed by Hua Tuo:
"Nothing is absolute. It's true that the leader of Yuxu Palace can't defeat you, but who says that the disciples of Yuxu Palace can't?"
"You, I can't believe I never noticed before that you're so stubborn. Think a little! Even the leader of Yuxu Palace, who is stronger than you, can't do anything to me. What chance do you have as an ordinary disciple of Yuxu Palace?"
Standing helplessly in place, shaking his head, the Hua Tuo, wanting to seize Ye Huan's Summoning Book, couldn't decide whether to call Ye Huan naive or foolish after hearing those words. He could only conclude that Ye Huan was simply stubborn.
In contrast, after hearing the Hua Tuo's words, Ye Huan surprisingly did not engage in conversation. Instead, he used his Divine Sense to pull back a large number of Arms he had previously taken out from his Spatial Ring. Without hesitation, he began swallowing several Arms into his stomach.
"This..."
Watching Ye Huan's actions in astonishment, the Hua Tuo realized he had never seen Ye Huan devour various Arms before. Witnessing it firsthand now was as shocking as the power of a small nuclear bomb. He was left speechless, and even Yu Wuxia in the distance looked at Ye Huan with confusion. Although he knew that Ye Huan had the ability to consume summoned objects to replenish Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, he still couldn't understand what Ye Huan was trying to accomplish.
Just as Yu Wuxia and the Hua Tuo were puzzled by Ye Huan's behavior, Ye Huan began consuming a large number of Arms in front of the Living Dead possessed by the Hua Tuo and Yu Wuxia. He attempted to force out all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy brought by these Arms and slowly directed it towards the Living Dead possessed by the Hua Tuo. Soon enough, just like when Yu Wuxia had released Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy using the Celestial Spirit Suppressing Mirror earlier, it surrounded the Living Dead possessed by the Hua Tuo.
"Useless..."
Almost simultaneously, Yu Wuxia and the Hua Tuo uttered these three words. Upon noticing Ye Huan's actions, they both shook their heads. After all, with Yu Wuxia's example in mind, trying to trap the Living Dead possessed by the Hua Tuo using only Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was akin to dreaming. Moreover, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy contained within the Celestial Spirit Suppressing Mirror far exceeded what Ye Huan was releasing. Therefore, neither Yu Wuxia nor the Hua Tuo believed this would have any effect on the Living Dead.
"Whether it's useful or not can only be determined through testing."
Unconsciously smiling slightly, as Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy surrounded the Living Dead possessed by the Hua Tuo, Ye Huan felt he had already succeeded halfway. The remaining half depended on these Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy continuously contracting until they merged into the body of the Living Dead possessed by the Hua Tuo.
Not wanting to waste any more time there, as soon as Ye Huan finished speaking, he manipulated those Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy with his Divine Sense to continuously draw closer around the Living Dead possessed by the Hua Tuo, gradually reducing its space for movement...
