Yan Banshan must die!
The powerhouses from the Law Enforcement Sect and the Cloud Realm charged toward the building like madmen!
At that moment, the warriors from Daolin Kingdom and the Hidden Assassins’ Pavilion were pinned down, unable to help.
Then, a woman appeared atop the building.
It was Xu Wan!
Xu Wan faced the oncoming superpowers without a shred of fear in her eyes!
She’d given up her push for the No-Heart Realm!
Because right now, Ye Xuan needed someone!
She knew her current strength couldn’t stop these people—their realms towered far above hers!
But she stepped out anyway!
As the powerhouses rushed her, Xu Wan slowly closed her eyes!
She knew she was doomed!
But she didn’t regret her choice!
Suddenly, her eyes snapped open. Her palm unfurled, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared in her hand. In the next instant, she thrust it forward with all her might!
*Sword Draw Settles Life and Death!*
A full-force strike!
The sword sang out, its cry shaking the heavens!
It was a powerful blow!
But her opponent was a No-Path Realm powerhouse.
The leading No-Path expert smashed a fist into the Qingxuan Sword. The overwhelming force made it tremble violently before it flew from her grip. Her right arm shattered instantly, and she was flung backward. When she landed, her body broke apart—only her soul remained!
The No-Path powerhouses ignored her; her soul was fading fast!
Complete annihilation was just a matter of time!
Then, the Qingxuan Sword quivered. In a flash, it turned into a beam of light and plunged into Xu Wan’s vanishing soul!
*Boom!*
The Qingxuan Sword shielded her soul!
At that moment, the building dissolved into nothing, and a man stepped out!
It was Ye Xuan!
The instant he appeared, a No-Path powerhouse loomed overhead, smashing a fist down!
They knew Ye Xuan could bypass many spacetime barriers, so they avoided using spacetime powers against him.
Ye Xuan watched the fist descend, his face blank. As it neared, the spacetime around him shimmered into an illusion!
*Mysterious Spacetime!*
Ye Xuan stomped his right foot hard!
*Boom!*
A crushing wave of spacetime pressure enveloped the No-Path powerhouse. His face twisted, but he didn’t pull back—his fist still roared toward Ye Xuan’s face!
He could tell the spacetime force wouldn’t kill him, but his punch could crush Ye Xuan!
A trade—his injury for Ye Xuan’s life!
Worth it!
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. He had no Qingxuan Sword now, and he couldn’t recall it—doing so might doom Xu Wan completely!
Without the Qingxuan Sword, how could he fend off a No-Path Realm foe?
His face turned ferocious!
Was he useless without the Qingxuan Sword?
He stepped forward. In an instant, countless sword lights engulfed him and the No-Path powerhouse.
*Square-Inch Sword Domain!*
He unleashed a move he’d once deemed outdated!
As he did, one thought blazed in his mind: *I’m a sword cultivator! Without the Qingxuan Sword, I’m still a damn sword cultivator!*
But reality was brutal!
*Boom!*
The sword lights shattered, and Ye Xuan was hurled thousands of zhang away.
The No-Path powerhouse blinked, staring at his fist, then at Ye Xuan in the distance. “From your entrance, I thought you were some big shot. Turns out…”
Before he finished, a flying sword slashed toward him!
The No-Path expert smirked, flicking his sleeve.
*Boom!*
The sword shattered!
Ye Xuan’s face darkened!
Though he’d reached No-Heart Realm, the gap to No-Path was still stark!
Then, the No-Path powerhouse clenched the air toward Ye Xuan. The space around him collapsed. Ye Xuan’s eyes flashed with ferocity. Instead of retreating, he charged, turning into a sword light!
*Shink!*
A piercing tear ripped through the air!
The No-Path expert raised an arm to block!
*Boom!*
The sword light broke apart!
Simultaneously, his left fist shot forward.
*Boom!*
The punch warped countless layers of spacetime. Ye Xuan was blasted back, but as he flew, the No-Path powerhouse plummeted into a dark spacetime abyss!
*Mysterious Spacetime Abyss!*
Falling into that endless void, the No-Path expert frowned!
Then, Xiao Xiao roared from the sky, “What are you all doing? Watching a show?”
Below Ye Xuan, dozens of powerhouses stood—six at No-Path Realm!
But during his clash, they hadn’t moved!
They’d held back, thinking it was a one-on-one duel—jumping in felt dishonorable! But Xiao Xiao’s shout snapped them awake!
Without hesitation, they charged Ye Xuan!
The six leading No-Path experts went all out, clearly aiming for a one-hit kill!
Seeing the swarm, Ye Xuan’s eyelids twitched. He roared, “Big Sis, if you don’t show up, start planning my funeral!”
“Heehee!”
A giggle rang out. A wisp of sword light flashed across the scene!
Before anyone could react, the head of the leading No-Path powerhouse flew off and vanished into nothing.
*Instant kill!*
Everyone froze in shock!
The charging powerhouses retreated fast!
Yang Nianxue appeared before Ye Xuan, grinning at him. “How’d you know I’d show?”
Ye Xuan exhaled in relief. “We’re siblings!”
Yang Nianxue laughed, “Dad, I’ve got you covered!”
Her palm opened, a wisp of sword light gleaming within. She eyed the distant powerhouses, grinning, “Come on over!”
Their faces grew heavy.
*She just killed a No-Path in one shot?*
Everyone turned to Zong Shou, who’d regrown his arm. He stared at Yang Nianxue, “Who are you?”
She pointed at Ye Xuan, laughing, “His sister!”
Zong Shou frowned, “Sister?”
Yang Nianxue nodded, grinning, “Real sister, yup!”
Zong Shou eyed the sword light in her hand, wariness flickering in his gaze.
That sword light spooked him!
Ye Xuan piped up, “Sis, waste him!”
Yang Nianxue shot him a look. “Dad always taught me—out in the world, win people over with virtue!”
Ye Xuan gaped.
*Win with virtue?*
*Is that Dad’s style?*
He sidled up, whispering via mystic energy, “Sis, how many sword lights did Dad leave you?”
Yang Nianxue murmured, “Three! I’ve used two—this is the last!”
Ye Xuan’s face sank!
*Two?!*
*What the hell?*
There were at least a dozen No-Path foes left!
How do you fight that?
Yang Nianxue added, “Don’t worry—they don’t know I’ve only got one left!”
Ye Xuan glanced at her, then at Zong Shou, grinning, “See that No-Path guy earlier? One of Dad’s sword lights took him out. If Dad showed up himself… tsk tsk…”
Zong Shou and the others’ faces darkened!
*An instant kill!*
*One sword light wiped out a No-Path powerhouse!*
*Was this a No-Boundary Realm expert?*
Only No-Boundary could pull that off!
*This guy’s got a No-Boundary backer!*
Their expressions grew grimmer!
No one dared move!
Then, Xiao Xiao and the Zhongshan King stopped fighting.
The Zhongshan King staggered to Ye Xuan’s side, pale as death, looking gravely injured!
Ye Xuan turned to him, worried, “Senior, you okay?”
The Zhongshan King clutched his mouth, coughing hard. He opened his palm—blood stained it.
Ye Xuan’s face changed!
The Zhongshan King gave a bitter smile, “It’s nothing… nothing…”
He coughed violently again.
Ye Xuan hurried, “Senior, rest up. We’ll handle the rest!”
The Zhongshan King relaxed inside. *Finally, those words!*
Any more fighting, and he’d really be risking his life!
He glanced at a gold-armored man nearby. The man looked grim, “King, we lost twelve brothers!”
“Wah!”
The Zhongshan King burst into tears!
Everyone stared, baffled.
He murmured like a broken man, “They… whose sons were they… whose parents… I… I’ve failed you all!”
He wailed loudly!
Ye Xuan’s guilt deepened!
He stepped forward, “Senior…”
The Zhongshan King grabbed him, shaking his head, anguished, “No… it’s not your fault! Really, not your fault! Don’t feel guilty… please don’t!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The crowd eyed the Zhongshan King, their looks turning odd.
Seeing him in agony, Ye Xuan’s guilt swelled!
Xiao Xiao sneered, “Zhongshan King, what’s this act? You’re only here for A Dao Ling’s legacy, aren’t you?”
“Bullshit!”
The Zhongshan King jabbed a finger at Xiao Xiao, roaring, “You think everyone’s as greedy as you? I’m stopping you for the legacy? No! It’s for the Daolin Realm’s future! For justice! Justice will prevail!”
Everyone: “…”
