White Day City is attacking?
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the black-robed old man was momentarily stunned. The next moment, he looked behind Ye Xuan, and his expression changed instantly. Then, he turned and vanished on the spot.
Ye Xuan froze.
Did he just run?
But at that moment, the black-robed old man reappeared before him, and behind him were over a hundred people!
All of them were at the Dao-Ming Realm!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s eyelids twitched. Eternal Night City was quite formidable! To gather so many experts in such a short time.
At this point, the middle-aged man leading White Day City and his group stopped. When he saw the Eternal Night City experts behind Ye Xuan, the middle-aged man said gravely, “You really are from Eternal Night City!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “As you wish!”
The middle-aged man gave Ye Xuan a deep look, then turned to the black-robed old man beside Ye Xuan. “Chu Xiu, you’ve played a clever hand!”
With that, he turned and led his group away!
With Ye Xuan having reached Eternal Night City, they were out of options. Surely they couldn’t just attack Eternal Night City directly?
But at that moment, Ye Xuan, still in the distance, suddenly made a move.
*Buzz!*
A sword hum resounded as a flying sword slashed through the air.
In the distance, the middle-aged man’s pupils contracted sharply. He spun around and threw a punch!
*Boom!*
A burst of sword light erupted fiercely, and the middle-aged man was sent flying tens of thousands of feet by the strike. The moment he stopped, his physical body shattered!
Seeing this, both sides in the scene were stunned!
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly shouted, “Finish them!”
With that, he charged forward!
Seeing this, Chu Xiu and the others were completely dumbfounded!
Were they going to fight?
With almost no hesitation, Chu Xiu and his group charged as well, because after Ye Xuan rushed out, the White Day City experts immediately pursued him. However, Ye Xuan didn’t charge straight in—he dashed forward briefly, then retreated toward Chu Xiu and the others…
The battle began!
It must be said, this battle started rather abruptly. Neither side was mentally prepared and just dove in!
Of course, both sides also wanted to fight!
At this moment, it was truly a case of enemies meeting, their eyes blazing with hatred!
Ye Xuan didn’t slip away either. He lurked in the shadows, unleashing cold sword strikes, his thumb flicking lightly now and then. Each flick sent a White Day City expert’s head flying!
In just a few breaths, nearly seven Dao-Ming Realm experts had been slain in the field!
In the distance, the leading middle-aged man noticed this and his expression changed drastically. “Retreat! Retreat!”
Retreat!
The White Day City experts fought while retreating, as they too had realised Ye Xuan’s terror!
Ye Xuan’s flying sword was something they simply couldn’t withstand!
Meanwhile, the Eternal Night City experts grew more excited as they fought, having completely suppressed White Day City’s forces!
Ye Xuan suddenly shouted again, “Don’t let them escape!”
With that, another flying sword slashed out!
*Swish!*
In the distance, a Dao-Ming Realm expert failed to dodge and was pierced through the brow by Ye Xuan’s sword, their divine soul instantly absorbed by the Qingxuan Sword!
This time, he used the Qingxuan Sword because he aimed to kill, and for the Qingxuan Sword, these opponents were a great nourishment—naturally, he couldn’t let the chance slip!
In the distance, the middle-aged man looked at Ye Xuan in horror. “You…”
Ye Xuan suddenly turned to the speaking middle-aged man. The man’s expression changed drastically, and he was about to flee when a sword came slashing toward him!
The middle-aged man’s heart filled with dread. He clenched his right hand tightly and smashed it forward.
Though he was now just a soul, the power of his punch was still terrifying. A surge of mighty force poured from his fist, instantly causing the space before him to boil!
Unfortunately, he was facing Ye Xuan—and Ye Xuan wielding the Qingxuan Sword!
As the Qingxuan Sword struck, the middle-aged man’s powerful force was instantly scattered.
*Boom!*
Countless forces dissipated in an instant, and the next moment, the Qingxuan Sword plunged into the middle-aged man’s brow.
*Boom!*
Before the middle-aged man could even speak, he was completely absorbed by the Qingxuan Sword!
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword returned to his hand. He glanced into the distance, about to strike again, when a terrifying pressure suddenly surged from the distant horizon.
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. He looked up at the sky, and the next moment, the horizon split open, revealing a middle-aged man in a splendid robe stepping out!
A Transformation Realm expert!
It was none other than the current Lord of White Day City, Mu Xu!
Ye Xuan put away the Qingxuan Sword and quietly slipped to the side!
With Mu Xu’s appearance, the Eternal Night City experts also stopped. They wanted to kill White Day City’s people, but they weren’t foolish—a Transformation Realm expert was beyond their ability to handle!
At that moment, the space above Chu Xiu and the others also split open, and a black-robed man stepped out!
Another Transformation Realm expert!
This was Han Jiang, the Lord of Eternal Night City!
The lords of both cities had now appeared!
In the distance, Mu Xu’s expression was incredibly grim, because from start to finish, White Day City had lost eighteen Dao-Ming Realm experts! Meanwhile, Eternal Night City hadn’t lost a single one!
Zero for eighteen!
An utterly disastrous loss!
Mu Xu looked down at Ye Xuan, who was hiding among the crowd, his gaze sharp as a sword.
Ye Xuan looked at Mu Xu and smiled faintly. “Sorry, I got carried away with the killing earlier and didn’t hold back, causing you to lose quite a few experts. For that, I deeply apologise!”
With that, he even gave a slight bow.
Seeing this, the White Day City experts’ faces twisted with rage!
Killing and twisting the knife!
Mu Xu raised his right hand slightly, reaching out toward Ye Xuan from afar. With this grasp, the space around Ye Xuan twisted into a bizarre vortex. Inside the vortex, Ye Xuan felt thousands of forces tearing at him!
Fortunately, he had already unleashed his aura and sword intent from the start. Otherwise, the moment Mu Xu acted, he might have been shredded into countless pieces!
Even so, his aura and sword intent were slowly dissipating!
Ye Xuan frowned, about to act, when Eternal Night City’s Lord Han Jiang suddenly waved his sleeve. In an instant, the space around Ye Xuan returned to normal!
Mu Xu looked at Han Jiang. “Han Jiang, he doesn’t seem to be one of your Eternal Night City’s people!”
Han Jiang laughed heartily. “What does that matter? All I know is he was killing your White Day City’s people just now. As long as he’s an enemy of White Day City, he’s a friend of Eternal Night City! Haven’t you heard that the enemy of my enemy is my friend? Haha!”
Mu Xu’s eyes narrowed, a cold killing intent flickering within them.
Han Jiang smiled. “Mu Xu, with me here, you won’t kill this young friend today. If you want to fight, we can fight now, but think carefully. We have this young friend here, who can kill a Dao-Ming Realm expert with two sword strikes…”
Below, Ye Xuan suddenly laughed. “A correction—it’s one sword per kill!”
Han Jiang was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter. “Yes, yes, one sword per kill! My mistake! Haha!”
Han Jiang’s laughter made Mu Xu’s expression turn incredibly sour.
Fight or not?
Of course, they couldn’t fight!
With Ye Xuan allied with Eternal Night City, White Day City was now at an absolute disadvantage!
Mu Xu looked down at Ye Xuan. “What grudge does my White Day City have with you?”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Don’t you know?”
Mu Xu’s eyes narrowed. “Know what?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Ask Young Master Mu Chen to explain!”
Mu Chen!
Mu Xu hesitated, then turned his head. At that moment, Mu Chen appeared on the scene. He glanced at Ye Xuan in the distance, his expression complex. He didn’t hide anything and recounted the entire sequence of events!
Upon learning the full story, Mu Xu’s face became incredibly grim!
Mu Qian!
He hadn’t expected that this whole affair was caused by his eldest son, and that Elder Yue—caught in a sect dispute—should have sought out Tian Yan if he had a grievance! Why go after this Ye Xuan?
And that son of Elder Yue!
What utter rubbish!
In truth, he was somewhat furious at this moment!
Ye Xuan wasn’t originally an enemy of White Day City!
But now, White Day City had forcibly turned him into one! And all because of someone as foolish as Elder Yue—it was simply not worth it!
Of course, at this point, reconciliation was no longer possible!
Even if White Day City were willing to reconcile, Ye Xuan wouldn’t turn back. If Ye Xuan did, and Eternal Night City later washed their hands of him, wouldn’t he be in a terrible spot?
Mu Xu glanced at Ye Xuan. “I hadn’t expected another supreme genius to emerge in this world!”
He then looked at Han Jiang. “Congratulations!”
Han Jiang laughed heartily. “This is truly an unexpected delight!”
For Eternal Night City, it was indeed an unexpected delight. They had witnessed Ye Xuan’s terrifying strength—a genius of such monstrous talent had been driven to Eternal Night City by White Day City!
Thinking of this, Han Jiang couldn’t help but laugh again.
Mu Xu glanced at Han Jiang and smiled. “The last laugh is the sweetest!”
Han Jiang grinned. “Then let’s see who gets the last laugh!”
Mu Xu smiled. “We shall see!”
With that, he glanced at Ye Xuan in the distance, then turned and left.
The White Day City experts followed suit, departing one by one.
After Mu Xu and the others left, Han Jiang looked at Ye Xuan. He sized him up, then smiled. “What’s your name?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Ye Xuan!”
Han Jiang was momentarily stunned. “Ye… Ye Xuan?”
Ye Xuan blinked. “Senior, do you know me?”
Han Jiang said gravely, “I do!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “How could that be…”
Han Jiang smiled faintly but didn’t speak.
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “The Defiant!”
Han Jiang nodded. “After he returned, he mentioned meeting a very powerful prodigy—you. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but I never imagined you’d come here. And… I hadn’t expected Young Master Ye to be such a prodigy! Truly worthy of someone who could match the Defiant blow for blow.”
He then glanced at the Eternal Night City members in the field and barked, “What are you all standing around for? Greet Young Master Ye! No, wait—from this moment, Young Master Ye is the Vice-Lord of Eternal Night City. Hurry and pay your respects to the Vice-Lord! Don’t just stand there! Bloody bow already!”
Everyone: “…”
