“Ah!”
A piercing scream suddenly erupted from the scene!
Though Gu Nan was also a Circle-Breaker, that spot was a man’s most vulnerable place. Even he couldn’t endure such excruciating physical pain—nor the psychological humiliation!
Seeing Ye Xuan make his move, the old man’s eyes narrowed, and he was about to intervene. Just then, Ye Xuan thrust his sword into Gu Nan’s throat!
*Splurt!*
A jet of blood sprayed out!
The old man glared at Ye Xuan. “If you kill him, my Gu Xing Clan will wipe out your ten clans!”
Ye Xuan glanced at the old man. In an instant, he twisted his right hand sharply.
*Splurt!*
Gu Nan’s head flew off, and his soul was instantly absorbed by the Qingxuan Sword!
Completely annihilated—body and soul!
At this sight, the faces of Shen Qing and others from the Shenhuang Clan grew grave.
This guy had really killed Gu Nan!
And he’d utterly erased him!
Most shockingly, Gu Nan, a Circle-Breaker, hadn’t even had a chance to fight back against this man!
Seeing Ye Xuan wipe out Gu Nan, the old man and the middle-aged man’s faces twisted with fury. At that moment, Ye Xuan vanished from his spot.
The old man snarled, “Courting death!”
As his voice fell, he charged forward. With that charge, a black vortex engulfed Ye Xuan!
A brief silence followed.
*Buzz!*
A sword’s hum suddenly rang out from within the black vortex. The next moment, a burst of blood-red sword light exploded from it!
*Boom!*
The black vortex shattered, and at the same time, a figure stumbled back repeatedly.
It was the old man!
When he stopped, his physical body was in tatters, leaving only his soul!
At this, everyone’s expressions changed!
Was this youth a Circle-Creator?
The old man stared at Ye Xuan, bewildered. “You…”
Before he could finish, Ye Xuan vanished again. The next instant, a blood-red sword appeared before him.
The old man, now a soul, paled. He reached out with his right hand and clenched it fiercely, unleashing a powerful surge of soul energy from his palm!
The sword arrived!
*Splurt!*
Under everyone’s stunned gazes, the sword pierced through the old man’s palm. In the next moment, Ye Xuan appeared behind him, the Qingxuan Sword plunged into his chest!
Everyone was horrified!
The old man’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief. “This…”
He couldn’t fathom that he’d been slain with just two strikes!
In the distance, the middle-aged man’s eyes were also full of incredulity. Truth be told, he was starting to panic. He was on the same level as the old man, and the old man had been taken down in two strikes!
Two strikes!
At that moment, Ye Xuan opened his right hand. The Qingxuan Sword trembled violently, and the old man’s soul was completely absorbed by it.
Though the old man was a Circle-Breaker, he was an Outer Circle one—unlike Bi Xiao, and far weaker. With Ye Xuan’s bloodline power activated and the old man’s initial carelessness, Ye Xuan had managed to kill him in two strikes.
Only an Inner Circle powerhouse like Tian Yan could reliably overpower him!
Ye Xuan turned to the middle-aged man, who stared back at him. “Who are you? You…”
Before he could finish, Ye Xuan appeared before him and slashed down with his sword!
*Drawing the Sword to Decide Life and Death!*
This strike layered at least tens of thousands of sword intents!
Tens of thousands!
Seeing the sword descend, the middle-aged man’s pupils shrank. He opened his right hand, summoning a massive black shield. The next moment, he thrust it forward to block.
*Boom!*
Under everyone’s gazes, the shield shuddered violently before shattering. The middle-aged man was flung thousands of feet away. As he stopped, a shadow flashed across the scene. Instantly, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Ye Xuan was already behind him, his sword at the man’s brow!
Another instant kill!
The scene fell so silent you could hear a pin drop!
This youth had killed two Circle-Breakers in mere moments?
Since when were Circle-Breakers so weak?
The middle-aged man looked into the distance, about to speak, when Ye Xuan opened his palm. The Qingxuan Sword trembled, absorbing his soul entirely!
In the distance, the Gu Xing Clan and other powerhouses stared in horror.
At that moment, they were afraid!
Even Shi Tian, Shen Qing, and Li Xun’er wore grave expressions—truth be told, they were panicking.
Who was this youth?
Just then, a Gu Xing Clan powerhouse tried to slip away. As he moved, a sword light pierced his brow!
Ye Xuan looked at the fleeing man. “Did I say you could leave?”
As his voice fell, the Qingxuan Sword absorbed the man’s soul, erasing him completely from existence!
Seeing this, the remaining Shen Qing and others paled.
Ye Xuan didn’t strike again. He walked slowly to An Lanxiu and Zhang Wenxiu. Looking at the two women, he rasped, “Are you alright?”
Truthfully, his bloodline power still affected him greatly.
He was conscious, but his state was like being drunk—aware, yet irrational.
An Lanxiu shook her head slightly. “We’re fine!”
Ye Xuan’s eyes closed slowly. He knew that if he’d arrived any later, An Lanxiu and Zhang Wenxiu might not have survived!
At that thought, his expression turned ferocious. He spun around, and in the distance, a Gu Xing Clan powerhouse’s head flew off.
Shen Qing and the others’ faces changed instantly. Shen Qing, the leader, hurriedly said, “Sir, I am from the Shenhuang Clan!”
Shenhuang Clan!
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. “Bi Xiao?”
Shen Qing paused, then said, “You know the clan leader?”
Shenhuang Clan!
Ye Xuan’s expression grew more savage. At that moment, an immensely powerful aura swept in from the distant horizon.
Seeing this, Shen Qing and the others sighed in relief!
The real big shot had finally arrived!
An old man appeared in the scene—Gu Sen, the Gu Xing Clan leader and a Circle-Creator.
Gu Sen glanced around, then turned sharply to Ye Xuan. “You killed my son!”
Ye Xuan grinned. “Not only did I kill your son, I’ll wipe out your entire clan!”
As his voice fell, he charged forward and slashed down fiercely.
A glint of malice flashed in Gu Sen’s eyes. “With just you?”
He rushed forward, throwing a punch. A crimson-gold fist aura surged from it!
*Boom!*
Sword light and fist aura shattered together, sending both men reeling back. As Ye Xuan retreated, his Qingxuan Sword vanished. In the distance, Gu Sen’s eyes narrowed. He clapped his hands together and roared, “Great Luo Heavenly Hand!”
His right hand pressed forward and slammed down!
*Crack!*
The space before him split open. A colossal hand emerged from the dark rift and slammed down!
*Boom!*
Ye Xuan’s Qingxuan Sword was knocked away. At the same time, Gu Sen waved his right hand toward Ye Xuan. “Perish!”
As his voice fell, the giant hand swung fiercely at Ye Xuan, shattering and annihilating space in its path—terrifyingly powerful.
In the distance, Ye Xuan willed it, and the Qingxuan Sword transformed into a blood shield before him.
*Boom!*
The giant hand struck the shield, which trembled violently. The surrounding space shattered, but the shield held firm!
It had withstood the full force of the blow!
Seeing this, Gu Sen’s eyes narrowed, his heart jolted. He hadn’t expected Ye Xuan’s sword-turned-shield to be so sturdy, blocking his strike!
The shield then morphed back into a sword. In an instant, it slashed toward Gu Sen as a beam of sword light. A cold glint flashed in Gu Sen’s eyes as he pointed two fingers forward.
*Boom!*
His fingers met the Qingxuan Sword, but the moment they touched, his face changed. He tried to pull back, but it was too late!
*Splurt!*
Under everyone’s gazes, two of his fingers were sliced off. The sword drove straight toward his brow. At that critical moment, a vine suddenly wrapped around the Qingxuan Sword!
The vine didn’t hold long—just enough to slow the sword before retreating. By then, Gu Sen had withdrawn hundreds of feet, putting distance between him and Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan turned. In the distance, a woman approached slowly.
It was Bi Xiao!
Beside her were a middle-aged man and an old man—Shi Bian, the Shi Clan leader, and Li Qiu, the Li Clan leader.
Bi Xiao looked at Ye Xuan, her expression complex. “Young Master Ye…”
Hearing her, everyone turned to Bi Xiao. She knew this man?
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared in his hand.
Gu Sen stepped beside Bi Xiao and said gravely, “Clan Leader Bi Xiao, who is this man?”
Bi Xiao glanced at Ye Xuan, then said, “Young Master Ye!”
Young Master Ye!
Everyone froze.
Gu Sen paused, about to speak, when Bi Xiao stepped toward Ye Xuan. She gave a bitter smile. “Young Master Ye, why didn’t you inform me of your arrival? I’d planned to send someone to fetch you…”
Ye Xuan cut in, “Miss Bi Xiao, shall we catch up later?”
Bi Xiao’s expression stiffened. She turned to Shen Qing. “What happened here?”
Shen Qing hesitated, then, not daring to conceal anything, recounted the earlier events.
After he finished, Bi Xiao’s face darkened. Moments later, she looked at Ye Xuan. “Young Master Ye, this was a misunderstanding…”
Ye Xuan suddenly appeared before Shen Qing. Before he could react, a sword pressed against his throat.
At this, Gu Sen and the others frowned instantly!
Ye Xuan looked at Bi Xiao. “A misunderstanding? Miss Bi Xiao, your clansmen shattered my sister’s body and bullied my woman, and you call it a misunderstanding?”
Bi Xiao’s face grew grim. “Young Master Ye, it truly was a misunderstanding. I’ll give you an explanation. Please, for my sake…”
Ye Xuan’s right hand thrust forward.
*Splurt!*
The Qingxuan Sword plunged into Shen Qing’s throat, blood spurting out!
Everyone’s faces changed!
He didn’t even give Bi Xiao face?
Bi Xiao hadn’t expected this either, her face full of shock.
Ye Xuan looked at her and grinned. “Miss Bi Xiao, sorry, it was a misunderstanding—my hand slipped. Miss Bi Xiao, could you do me a favour and let this slide?”
Bi Xiao: “…”
