Seeing Ye Xuan remain motionless, Xiao An’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. She spoke again, “You go first!”
Gu Ming, who had already mastered the art of external avatars, was no longer someone she could handle!
After all, compared to Gu Ming, she had far, far less time to cultivate!
Ye Xuan still didn’t move!
Just as Xiao An was about to speak, Ye Xuan suddenly appeared beside her. He chuckled lightly, “Why should I go first?”
Xiao An looked at Ye Xuan, “We can’t defeat him anymore!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “And then I leave, and you die?”
Xiao An fell silent.
Ye Xuan whispered softly, “Go back to the small pagoda and heal properly!”
Xiao An stared at Ye Xuan, “You can’t defeat him!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “So what? Anyway, I won’t let my woman die for me!”
Xiao An’s brows furrowed slightly, “Your woman?”
Ye Xuan awkwardly laughed, “Slip of the tongue! Slip of the tongue!”
Xiao An glanced at Ye Xuan but said nothing.
Ye Xuan said, “Hurry into the small pagoda!”
With that, he directly sent Xiao An into the small pagoda!
In the distance, Gu Ming glanced at Ye Xuan and smiled, “You are outstanding. Even in the Divine Ancient Star Domain, you would be among the best!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Thank you for the compliment!”
Gu Ming chuckled, then said, “Actually, I’m more interested in meeting the two people behind you! Your father and your sister. From what I’ve investigated, they seem quite extraordinary!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “You remind me of someone, someone who was once as confident as you!”
Gu Ming smiled, “Who?”
Ye Xuan said, “Tian Ye!”
Tian Ye: “……”
Gu Ming frowned slightly, “Who is Tian Ye?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “The patriarch of the ancient Tian Clan of the Upper Realm. He was once as confident as you, and now, the grass on his grave is several feet high!”
Tian Ye: “……”
Gu Ming shook his head and laughed, “You compare me to an ant?”
Ye Xuan said, “In Qing’er and my father’s eyes, there’s no difference between you!”
“Haha!”
Gu Ming suddenly laughed, “Ye Xuan, you are truly arrogant! Of course, the reason for your arrogance is your ignorance!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “Perhaps!”
With that, he opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared in his hand. “I think men should waste less time on words!”
As his voice fell, he suddenly disappeared from his spot!
In the distance, Gu Ming suddenly flicked his sleeve!
Boom!
A world-destroying force erupted from his sleeve!
Boom!
A burst of sword light shattered, and Ye Xuan was instantly sent flying!
But just as Ye Xuan retreated, a sword light suddenly appeared at Gu Ming’s throat!
A sword aimed to decapitate!
Crack!
Gu Ming’s throat suddenly split open, but the next moment, his right hand directly grabbed the sword light at his throat!
He clenched his fist.
Boom!
The sword light shattered!
But at that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly appeared above him, and a sword light slashed down vertically!
Gu Ming narrowed his eyes and directly punched out!
Boom!
Another burst of sword light shattered, and Ye Xuan was sent flying again, while Gu Ming was also forced back hundreds of feet!
Draw the sword to decide life and death!
This time, Ye Xuan directly stacked nine hundred and twenty layers of the Draw the Sword to Decide Life and Death technique!
During his time cultivating in the small pagoda, he had increased the layers of the Draw the Sword to Decide Life and Death technique to nine hundred and twenty!
However, he found that the further he went, the harder it became to improve!
In the distance, Gu Ming glanced at his right hand. On his right arm, there was a deep sword mark, revealing the bone beneath!
Gu Ming narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Xuan in the distance. Just as he was about to speak, the Qingxuan Sword in Ye Xuan’s hand suddenly disappeared.
Gu Ming directly punched out!
Boom!
The Qingxuan Sword was forcefully stopped by this punch!
But at that moment, over a dozen sword lights suddenly flew out from the space around Gu Ming and slashed at him.
Boom boom boom boom…….
In an instant, Gu Ming was engulfed by over a dozen sword lights!
In the distance, Ye Xuan was about to press his advantage, but at that moment, the sword lights shattered, and a shadowy figure shot towards him at an explosive speed!
Ye Xuan’s expression changed drastically. He opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared in his hand. He then raised the sword horizontally to block.
Invincible Sword Domain!
Boom!
Ye Xuan was instantly sent flying thousands of feet away. As soon as he stopped, a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth!
In the distance, Gu Ming slowly walked towards Ye Xuan, “The sword is a good sword, and the sword technique is also excellent. Unfortunately, your realm is too low, and moreover……”
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly disappeared again.
Gu Ming raised his arm to block.
Boom!
The sword light exploded, and Ye Xuan was sent flying again!
However, another sword mark appeared on Gu Ming’s arm!
Gu Ming couldn’t help but frown.
Although there was a gap in strength between Ye Xuan and himself, Ye Xuan’s sword could still break his defense!
Continuing like this was not feasible!
Gu Ming looked up at Ye Xuan not far away. He took a step forward, and with that step, he split into three!
External Avatar!
When Gu Ming’s external avatar appeared, Ye Xuan didn’t hesitate at all. He turned and directly disappeared!
He wasn’t foolish enough to confront Gu Ming head-on!
Seeing Ye Xuan flee directly, Gu Ming was stunned.
He’s not going to fight anymore?
Shouldn’t it be a fight to the death?
Without thinking too much, Gu Ming took a step forward, intending to chase. However, when he was about to give chase, he realized that Ye Xuan had already disappeared without a trace!
Even he couldn’t sense Ye Xuan’s presence now!
He ran so fast!
Gu Ming’s expression turned somewhat ugly!
Are young people nowadays so afraid of death?
Moreover, Ye Xuan was a swordsman. He……
At that moment, his pupils suddenly contracted because Ye Xuan, who had already fled, suddenly reappeared in front of him.
Ye Xuan drew his sword and slashed!
Nine hundred and twenty layers of the Draw the Sword to Decide Life and Death technique!
Gu Ming was greatly shocked. He hadn’t expected Ye Xuan to reappear. Without thinking too much, he raised his arm to block.
Boom!
Ye Xuan’s sword came down, and Gu Ming was sent flying thousands of feet away. When he stopped and was about to counterattack, Ye Xuan had already disappeared again!
He ran away again!
Seeing this, Gu Ming’s expression turned extremely ugly!
Slash once and then run?
And he couldn’t even sense Ye Xuan’s presence!
He had strength but nowhere to use it!
It was extremely frustrating!
In another unknown part of the starry sky, Ye Xuan stopped. A trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Gu Ming’s strength far surpassed his, and most importantly, Gu Ming’s physical body was terrifyingly strong!
If it weren’t for Gu Ming’s formidable physical body, he would have killed him countless times already!
The Qingxuan Sword could break Gu Ming’s defense, but it couldn’t deliver a fatal blow!
At this moment, he truly understood his own strength!
His current strength, without using the Qingxuan Sword, was equivalent to the Divine Soul Realm. With the Qingxuan Sword, he was invincible within the Divine Soul Realm and could even fight against the Divine Spirit Realm!
But without the Qingxuan Sword, the gap between him and a Divine Spirit Realm expert was quite large!
Especially someone like Gu Ming, who had no weaknesses!
However, he wasn’t discouraged!
How many years had Gu Ming cultivated? How many years had he, Ye Xuan, cultivated?
Wasn’t it normal to be unable to defeat him?
In terms of mentality, he was quite composed!
Moreover, being defeated wasn’t necessarily a bad thing!
Because he could identify his own shortcomings!
At that moment, Xiao An appeared in front of Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan glanced at Xiao An. Her arms had now returned to normal!
Xiao An looked at Ye Xuan and asked, “Are you alright?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “I’m fine!”
Xiao An whispered, “I never expected that he had already mastered the External Avatar technique to perfection!”
Ye Xuan asked seriously, “What kind of divine ability is the External Avatar technique?”
When Gu Ming used the External Avatar technique, he had no choice but to flee!
The power of three avatars was simply too terrifying. He couldn’t withstand it at all!
Xiao An explained gravely, “It’s one of the supreme divine abilities of the Ancient Demon Clan. When mastered to perfection, one can create external avatars, and these avatars possess at least ninety percent of the original body’s strength!”
“Ninety percent strength!”
Ye Xuan’s eyelids twitched, “That’s ridiculously overpowered!”
Xiao An nodded, “It’s extremely terrifying! However, mastering it is incredibly difficult! Among the successive generations of the Ancient Demon Clan’s ancestors, aside from the first patriarch, no one has been able to master it to perfection! I never expected that over the years, Gu Ming had actually mastered it to perfection!”
Ye Xuan asked, “Is there a way to counter it?”
Xiao An shook her head, “The only way is to overpower it with brute force!”
Brute force!
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “If you wield my sword, can you break it?”
Xiao An glanced at the Qingxuan Sword in Ye Xuan’s hand and shook her head, “I can’t! Because I’m not a swordsman. In my hands, your sword wouldn’t be as powerful as it is in yours! However……”
She paused, then added, “If Jing Zhi were to wield your sword, she might be able to contend with him!”
Jing Zhi!
Ye Xuan shook his head and laughed, “Give it to her? I’m afraid she’d slash me first!”
He was very wary of Jing Zhi!
This woman was different from Gu Ming. Although Gu Ming was powerful, he didn’t resort to underhanded tactics. This woman, on the other hand, was the complete opposite—she loved to play dirty!
As if remembering something, Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Xiao An, don’t you hate her?”
Xiao An fell silent for a moment, then said, “Her father treated me very well!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “If you could kill her, would you?”
Xiao An shook her head, “I don’t know!”
Ye Xuan sighed inwardly.
He knew that Xiao An probably wouldn’t kill Jing Zhi.
But if given the chance, Jing Zhi would definitely kill Xiao An!
Xiao An suddenly said, “You heal your injuries first. Then we need to prepare because Gu Ming won’t let this go! Moreover, we need to be careful. With two divine artifacts on you, I’m worried that the Taiyi Clan might also become interested!”
Ye Xuan asked, “Is the Taiyi Clan strong?”
Xiao An nodded, “Very strong! Within their clan, there’s a person named Taiyi Shengsui. He was once the strongest in the Taiyi Clan and even the strongest in the Divine Ancient Realm! If they also learn about the two divine artifacts on you, they might become interested too!”
Ye Xuan felt somewhat speechless.
He was about to become a hot commodity again!
However, he shouldn’t be that unlucky, right?
At that moment, Jing Zhi suddenly appeared in front of Ye Xuan. She smiled slightly, “I have some bad news for you. The Taiyi Clan has sent people! For you!”
Ye Xuan: “……”
