On the other side of the starry sky, Xue Tong came to a stop.
Ye Xuan appeared before her, actually, his injuries had already healed.
Xue Tong looked at him, “Are you mad I gave away the sword?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Why would I be mad?”
Xue Tong stared at him for a long moment before saying, “You’re really sly, but I like it!”
They’d thought of the same thing!
Keeping the Qingxuan Sword with Ye Xuan was a liability, not only would Dao Mountain come after him, but the Space-Time Divine Hall would too!
By handing the sword to Si Qian, they’d pitted the Yang Clan against the Space-Time Divine Hall, buying Ye Xuan some time!
And time was what he needed most right now!
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “The Space-Time Divine Hall Master killed the Yang Clan people?”
Xue Tong nodded, “Wiped them all out!”
Ye Xuan grinned, “Ruthless!”
Xue Tong looked at him, “What’s your plan now?”
Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes, and after a moment, he said gravely, “Remember that mysterious strong man who attacked me earlier?”
Xue Tong replied, “Seems like the Yang Clan Leader!”
Ye Xuan murmured, “With my current strength, I can’t compete with someone like that!”
Xue Tong comforted, “Don’t worry! We’ve got Dad, and if Dad can’t handle it, there’s still Little Sis!”
Ye Xuan, “…”
At that moment, the small tower chimed in, “Big Sis Xue Tong’s already hooked on the thrill of being a second-gen!”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “Xue Tong, we need to rely on ourselves!”
Xue Tong nodded, “I get it! Unless it’s a last resort, we shouldn’t call for help, we need to train ourselves, I understand all that!”
Ye Xuan, “…”
Xue Tong pulled out a candied hawthorn, licked it, and asked, “Can I ask something?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “What?”
Xue Tong looked at him, “Just how strong is your little sister?”
Before Ye Xuan could answer, the small tower cut in, “Don’t ask, just know she’s invincible! Invincible Destiny Sis!”
Xue Tong pressed, “And his dad?”
The man in the green shirt!
The small tower chuckled, “Let me put it this way: the master got beaten by Destiny Sis once, got it?”
Ye Xuan wiped the cold sweat from his brow, damn, being around this small tower was getting too dangerous!
Ever since Qing’er tweaked it, it had gotten so cocky it didn’t care about anyone but her!
Xue Tong licked her candied hawthorn again, “Small tower, this ‘invincible’…”
The tower interrupted, “All-around invincible! No rivals, across all heavens and realms, there’s nothing Destiny Sis can’t settle with one sword!”
Ye Xuan, “…”
Xue Tong nodded, “Got it!”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “Enough of that! Our priority is cultivation, I need to…”
His words cut off as his face changed drastically. He spun around, hundreds of feet away stood a middle-aged man in a white robe!
Neither he nor Xue Tong had noticed when he’d appeared!
Their expressions turned grave!
The man sized up Ye Xuan, then smiled, “I bet you thought my Yang Clan would go after the Space-Time Divine Hall, right?”
Ye Xuan said darkly, “You’re the Yang Clan Leader!”
The man laughed, “Indeed!”
Yang Lian, the Yang Clan Leader!
Ye Xuan chuckled lightly, “Why come for me first?”
Yang Lian stepped toward him, “Because I think you’re the biggest threat!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Me, the biggest threat?”
Yang Lian nodded, “You’re only at the Twentieth Stage, yet you withstood two of my strikes! I’ve never seen a prodigy like you!”
Ye Xuan turned to Xue Tong, “Being too outstanding brings trouble!”
Xue Tong looked at him, “We’re on the same side, can you not show off?”
Ye Xuan, “…”
Yang Lian added, “You deliberately gave that divine sword to the Space-Time Divine Hall, hoping my Yang Clan would clash with them, letting you profit from the sidelines, right?”
Beside Ye Xuan, Xue Tong said gravely, “This enemy’s pretty sharp, what do we do?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Fists won’t solve this, we need to reason!”
He turned to Yang Lian, opening his palm, and a drop of blood floated toward him. Seeing it, Yang Lian’s eyes narrowed.
Ye Xuan smiled, “Sir, to be honest, my dad’s no ordinary man, he…”
Before he could finish, Yang Lian stepped forward and threw a punch.
Ye Xuan’s pupils shrank, he didn’t even think, grabbing Xue Tong and pulling her behind him. He stepped forward, unleashing his Sword Domain.
Boom!
The fist imprint struck, the Sword Domain trembled violently and shattered, but the imprint pressed on!
Ye Xuan threw up his arms, condensing the First to Eighth Layers of Space-Time into a barrier!
Boom!
His arms shattered instantly, and he was flung backward!
Beside him, Xue Tong stared at the flying Ye Xuan, her gaze dazed.
In that split second, if Ye Xuan hadn’t pulled her back, she’d never have survived that punch!
Far off, Ye Xuan flew ten thousand feet before stopping, blood spraying from his mouth. As it did, Xue Tong appeared before him, catching the blood in her palm.
She glanced at Ye Xuan, shoved her candied hawthorn into his mouth, then turned to face Yang Lian, who laughed, “Young man, showing me your blood, was that to tell me you’ve got powerful backing?”
He shook his head with a smile, “If I’d seen this bloodline at the start, I might’ve hesitated to make an enemy of you, but now, we’re already foes. And with enemies, especially a prodigy like you, the best move is to kill them before they grow, got it?”
With that, he vanished, a powerful aura sweeping through, annihilating the surrounding Space-Time layer by layer!
Before Ye Xuan, a glint of ferocity flashed in Xue Tong’s eyes, her right hand clenched tight.
Boom!
Ye Xuan’s blood in her hand ignited, and she stepped forward, throwing a punch, a terrifying force erupting from her small fist!
The two powers clashed head-on in the rawest way!
Boom!
As they collided, the surrounding Space-Time shattered and disintegrated. Xue Tong was flung back tens of thousands of feet, her body shattering on impact, leaving only her soul!
In the distance, Yang Lian glanced at his fist, it had split open, bones exposed!
Seeing this, a trace of gravity flickered in his eyes, he’d underestimated this human’s bloodline!
This was no ordinary bloodline!
Who was this human?
Questions raced through his mind!
Without overthinking, Yang Lian turned to Ye Xuan, his eyes brimming with undisguised killing intent!
A prodigy like this was better off dead young!
With that thought, he stepped forward, clenching his right hand. In an instant, the Space-Time around him twisted, the First to Eighth Layers warping together!
Xue Tong’s hands tightened, but Ye Xuan suddenly said, “I’ll handle it!”
She turned to him, and he grinned, “Into the tower!”
Xue Tong stared, “You’ll die!”
Ye Xuan pulled her into the small tower. She tried to rush out, but the tower stopped her.
Xue Tong roared, “Let me out!”
Ye Xuan ignored her, facing Yang Lian, who said, “Your natural Destiny is Ninth Stage, let’s see how tough your fate really is!”
As he moved to strike, Ye Xuan closed his eyes, his blood boiling within!
Boom!
In an instant, a monstrous wave of killing intent and malice spread outward.
Yang Lian frowned, this killing intent was abnormal!
Then, Ye Xuan’s eyes snapped open, a sea of blood within them!
Bloodline activated!
It had been a long time since Ye Xuan last tapped into his bloodline, and this time, its unleashed power, amplified by Xue Tong’s partial unsealing, overwhelmed his mind, a force he couldn’t yet control!
At that moment, a blood-red sword appeared in his newly regrown hand, and he vanished.
Swoosh!
A streak of blood-red sword light flashed across the field, tearing through everything in its path!
Far off, a cold glint flashed in Yang Lian’s eyes. He stepped forward, throwing a punch, a volcanic surge of power erupting from his fist!
A direct clash!
Boom!
A burst of blood light exploded, the surrounding starry sky annihilating into a pitch-black Space-Time void. Ye Xuan was thrown back thousands of feet, but Yang Lian retreated a full thousand feet too!
Stopping, Yang Lian’s face twisted with ferocity, his heart shaken, this bloodline power was terrifying!
In the distance, Ye Xuan, gripping his blood sword, walked toward Yang Lian. Yang Lian stomped his right foot, a fist imprint roaring toward Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan slashed down hard!
Boom!
The sword light shattered, Ye Xuan was flung back nearly ten thousand feet! But Yang Lian retreated several thousand feet as well!
Ye Xuan’s power could now shake him!
As Ye Xuan prepared to strike again, Yang Lian flipped his right hand, and the Space-Time around Ye Xuan collapsed, plunging him into the Eighth Layer’s Space-Time abyss!
This time, he had no Qingxuan Sword!
Yet, Ye Xuan emerged unscathed, his unleashed bloodline power shielding him from the abyss’s destructive forces!
Seeing this, Yang Lian’s face darkened, “What kind of monster are you?!”
At that moment, a voice sounded from the side, “Looks like Brother Yang Lian needs some help!”
A middle-aged man appeared not far from Yang Lian.
It was Xiao Tian, the Xiao Clan Leader!
Then another voice rang out, “He does need help!”
An old man appeared on Yang Lian’s right, Lin Xiao, the Lin Clan Leader!
The three giants of Dao Mountain, together!
Just then, another voice spoke from the side, “Bullying the weak with strength? That’s not very fair!”
The three turned, a woman approached slowly from the distance!
…
