The Ultimate Second-Gen!
Hearing Little Tower’s words, Ye Xuan’s face darkened instantly!
At that moment, Nan Ning in the distance asked again, “Who exactly are you, sir?”
Ye Xuan looked at her and grinned, “Guess!”
*Guess!*
Hearing Ye Xuan’s reply, the woman named Nan Ning frowned slightly.
*Damn it, how am I supposed to guess?*
In the distance, Ye Xuan held back from attacking. He hadn’t acted because he sensed several eerie auras—extremely powerful ones, two of which were no weaker than the Realm of Freedom!
Clearly, more of Jiangpan’s mercenaries were lurking nearby.
One-on-one, he wasn’t afraid. But a group fight? That wouldn’t be fun.
Besides, he always believed problems shouldn’t be solved with fists.
The world needed love!
Nan Ning stood silent, conflicted.
Kill him?
She was confident she could take down Ye Xuan alone, but she had reservations. Everything pointed to this man being no ordinary figure.
Especially that sword!
When she touched it earlier, a flicker of fear had risen deep within her!
Killing him would surely bring massive consequences!
But if she didn’t kill him, those twenty star veins…
Twenty star veins!
Enough to elevate Jiangpan’s strength to new heights!
And Jiangpan had never backed out of a contract. She didn’t want to break that streak.
Just then, a young man appeared beside Nan Ning. He glanced at Ye Xuan in the distance. “We need to decide!”
After a moment’s silence, Nan Ning looked at Ye Xuan. “If you join Jiangpan, we can turn enemies into allies. Jiangpan will even help you destroy White Day City!”
The young man beside her looked at Nan Ning, stunned.
Nan Ning kept her eyes on Ye Xuan, her expression calm.
Ye Xuan shook his head. “I refuse!”
Nan Ning’s eyes narrowed. “You sure?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Sure. I don’t bow to threats! If you want to fight, I’m ready anytime.”
He wasn’t panicked. As long as Jiangpan’s heavy hitters stayed out, Eternal Night City wouldn’t lose to White Day City.
White Day City was the one that should be worried.
Suddenly, Nan Ning said, “We’re leaving!”
With that, she turned and walked away.
The young man beside her froze, confused, but didn’t question her and followed.
The hidden auras around them vanished as well.
In the distance, Ye Xuan glanced at the departing Nan Ning and her group, then turned and left.
Elsewhere, the young man caught up to Nan Ning. “Nan Ning, you…”
Nan Ning said softly, “If he’d agreed to join Jiangpan, I’d have killed him. But he didn’t.”
The young man was puzzled. “Why?”
Nan Ning’s expression remained calm. “If he’d joined, it would’ve shown he feared us, meaning his backing wasn’t much. But he refused us even in that situation. What does that mean? It means he doesn’t fear us at all…”
She looked up at the distant horizon and murmured, “No wonder White Cloak backed off.”
The young man sighed softly, “A pity about those twenty star veins!”
Nan Ning nodded slightly, “It is a shame.”
The thought of those twenty star veins stung her heart!
The young man suddenly asked, “Are we heading back?”
Nan Ning shook her head. “No!”
She glanced back. “We didn’t come here for nothing!”
…
Ye Xuan returned to Eternal Night City, where the skies above had become a battlefield.
Both sides were locked in fierce combat!
But Eternal Night City held the upper hand—after all, this was their home turf.
Just then, White Day City’s lord, Mu Xu, stopped fighting. He looked at Ye Xuan, his face full of disbelief. “You… how are you still alive?”
Ye Xuan grinned at Mu Xu. “Your mercenaries? I took them all out!”
“Bullshit!”
Mu Xu roared, “How could you take them out? They’re the second-ranked mercenary group in the Six Realms! With your strength alone, there’s no way you could wipe them out!”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Who said I was alone?”
Mu Xu glared at Ye Xuan. “Who the hell are you?”
Ye Xuan suddenly turned to Han Jiang. “City Lord Han Jiang, keep him busy!”
Han Jiang nodded, “Got it!”
With that, he charged at Mu Xu.
Almost simultaneously, Ye Xuan flicked his thumb, and the Qingxuan Sword shot out from its sheath!
Swoosh!
In the distance, a White Day City Dao Enlightenment Realm warrior’s head flew off, blood gushing like a fountain, gruesome and raw.
Seeing this, Mu Xu’s eyes nearly split with rage. “Ye Xuan!”
Ye Xuan ignored him, vanishing from his spot. Moments later, another White Day City Dao Enlightenment warrior fell!
With Ye Xuan joining the fray, the battle turned one-sided!
No one below the Realm of Freedom could withstand a single strike from Ye Xuan!
In no time, Eternal Night City completely overwhelmed White Day City’s forces.
In the sky, Mu Xu’s face was grim, but he was powerless to change the tide. He could only watch as his warriors were cut down below!
Yet White Day City’s fighters were resolute—no one fled!
They fought to the death!
Eternal Night City showed no mercy either!
Ye Xuan spared no one. Mercy to enemies was sheer stupidity—given the chance, White Day City would slaughter him without hesitation!
Screams echoed as more and more White Day City warriors fell!
Then, some White Day fighters chose to self-destruct, aiming to take Eternal Night warriors with them!
But Eternal Night’s fighters didn’t flinch against these death-bound enemies!
Gradually, White Day City’s numbers dwindled.
Soon, the battle ended!
Outside Eternal Night City lay a field of White Day City corpses, the ground stained red with blood, the air thick with a nauseating stench.
Only two remained alive: White Day City’s lord and Tian Chen!
In the sky, Mu Xu was surrounded by Eternal Night warriors.
Mu Xu stared below, dazed, as if his soul had fled his body.
They’d lost!
White Day City’s all-in gamble had failed!
As if struck by a thought, Mu Xu spun around, shouting, “Jiangpan…”
In the distance, space rippled, and a woman stepped out—Nan Ning.
Seeing her, Mu Xu roared like a beast. “Jiangpan! Where’s your professionalism? You promised to kill Ye Xuan and destroy Eternal Night City!”
Truthfully, he didn’t hate Ye Xuan. They were enemies—killing each other was natural!
His real hatred was for Jiangpan!
Their betrayal had led to White Day City’s crushing defeat!
Nan Ning looked at Mu Xu, silent.
Mu Xu glared at her. “Why?! Why?!”
Nan Ning shook her head slightly. “Your intel was wrong. He’s not just a prodigy—he has backing! Twenty star veins are a lot, but his life is worth far more!”
Mu Xu froze. Moments later, he turned to Ye Xuan. “Who are you?!”
Han Jiang and the others also looked at Ye Xuan, undeniably curious about his origins!
Who was this guy?
Nan Ning turned to Ye Xuan as well. Ye Xuan smiled lightly, “Everyone, stop wondering about my identity! I’m just an ordinary guy, abandoned by my dad as a kid… no, I mean, *free-ranged* as an ordinary guy!”
Mu Xu suddenly asked, “Who’s your dad?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “City Lord Mu Xu, let’s not go there!”
Mu Xu gave him a deep look, then vanished from his spot!
Not to flee!
Not to attack Ye Xuan!
But to strike at Nan Ning!
Clearly, he despised her and her group. If they hadn’t betrayed him, White Day City wouldn’t have ended like this!
Seeing Mu Xu attack Nan Ning, Han Jiang paused, making no move to stop him. He’d love for Mu Xu to take on Nan Ning’s group!
In the distance, Nan Ning watched the charging Mu Xu calmly. As he reached a hundred zhang from her, the space around him cracked open, and a shadowy figure flashed through!
Mu Xu’s pupils shrank, but he didn’t stop. His right fist slammed forward!
The moment his fist struck, the space within hundreds of thousands of li trembled violently.
But then, the shadowy figure turned ethereal. A fist mark suddenly blasted toward Mu Xu!
Boom!
The fist mark shattered, and the shadow was hurled thousands of zhang away. At that moment, a cold glint appeared behind Mu Xu. His pupils shrank again as he spun, raising both arms to block!
**Boom!**
The glint shattered, and Mu Xu was thrown hundreds of zhang back. As he stopped, a thin silver thread shot from the space behind him!
Mu Xu turned again, clapping his hands together and thrusting forward!
Boom!
The space before him caved in!
The silver thread disintegrated, and a surge of power roared toward Nan Ning!
At that moment, Nan Ning stepped forward, appearing above Mu Xu. She pointed two fingers downward.
A savage glint flashed in Mu Xu’s eyes. “Die!”
With a shout, he didn’t retreat but charged upward, throwing a punch!
Head-on!
Boom!
The world around them annihilated. Mu Xu’s pupils shrank—his right arm disintegrated into nothing. Then, Nan Ning’s hand pressed onto his head, and with a gentle grip—
Swoosh!
Before everyone’s eyes, Mu Xu’s head was torn off, blood gushing like a pillar.
The arena fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
…
