Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Mu Xu’s face instantly turned cold!
Arrogant!
Too arrogant!
Mu Xu stared at Ye Xuan, his gaze filled with killing intent as tangible as substance. “You have no idea what that thing signifies. Just wait—you’ll regret this!”
With that, he turned to leave.
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Wait for what? If you’re upset today, let’s settle it today. Come on, to the death!”
As his voice fell, he lightly flicked his thumb.
Buzz!
A sword hum suddenly resounded, and in the next moment, a sword slashed directly towards Mu Xu’s back.
Mu Xu’s eyes narrowed, a flash of killing intent passing through them. He spun around abruptly, throwing a punch.
Boom!
The punch unleashed a dazzling fist aura, and the surrounding space instantly transformed into a massive black vortex. Ye Xuan’s sword was forcibly blocked by this punch!
Mu Xu glared at Ye Xuan in the distance. The next moment, he stomped his right foot and spun his right hand forward.
Boom!
The Qingxuan Sword was instantly knocked back!
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword steadily returned to his hand. At that moment, a fist imprint suddenly swept towards him, the immense power within it causing the starry sky around them to turn illusory!
Ye Xuan gripped his sword tightly, charged forward, and slashed down with a single stroke.
Boom!
The fist imprint was shattered by his sword, but Ye Xuan himself was knocked back thousands of feet.
Their clash created a massive disturbance, instantly drawing the attention of countless powerhouses.
At that moment, a black-robed elder appeared between them. The elder coldly glanced at Ye Xuan and Mu Xu. “No fighting is allowed here. Don’t you know that?”
Mu Xu opened his palm, and a token slowly floated towards the black-robed elder. Seeing the token, the elder’s brows furrowed slightly!
The Five Elements Token!
A person of the Five Elements Lord!
The Five Elements Lord’s face had to be respected!
With this in mind, the black-robed elder turned to Ye Xuan and said coldly, “Take him down!”
As his voice fell, over a dozen powerful auras suddenly surged from the shadows, rushing towards Ye Xuan.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan frowned. Without any nonsense, he drew his sword and slashed.
Boom!
This slash sent one of the attackers flying thousands of feet away!
Witnessing this, the hidden powerhouses were all shocked!
He dared to attack Qianji City’s people?
Was he tired of living?
Across from Ye Xuan, the black-robed elder’s face turned icy. He glared at Ye Xuan. “Who gave you the guts?”
As his voice fell, he charged forward, a blur streaking across the field, his immense power tearing apart the space in his path.
In the distance, Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, a cold killing intent flashing within them. With a thought, the Qingxuan Sword in its sheath transformed into a streak of sword light and slashed out.
Quantitative Change!
Though his realm wasn’t at the Quantitative Change Realm, this sword strike had reached that level. As the sword struck, the surrounding starry sky cracked layer by layer.
Boom!
The blur trembled violently, then instantly retreated thousands of feet. The moment it stopped, a flying sword slashed towards it.
The black-robed elder’s pupils shrank. He crossed his arms to block in front of him.
Boom!
A burst of sword light shattered, and the black-robed elder was knocked back again, his arms already severed by the strike.
The elder was dazed. He looked into the distance, about to speak, when a sword was already pressed against his forehead.
Seeing this, Mu Xu’s face darkened in the distance!
Ye Xuan’s strength had grown significantly!
Before, Ye Xuan had struggled against Quantitative Change Realm powerhouses, but now, they barely had a chance to fight back against him!
How had this guy’s strength increased so quickly?
In front of Ye Xuan, the black-robed elder glared at him. “This is Qianji City. Try touching me!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “What makes you think I wouldn’t dare?”
The elder’s lips curled into a savage grin. “Then try it!”
At that moment, a voice came from the side, “Young Master Ye, this is a misunderstanding!”
Ye Xuan turned to look. Not far away, a man and a woman were approaching slowly. The man was none other than Qianji!
Qianji wore a faint smile. “Young Master Ye, this is a misunderstanding. We…”
Ye Xuan suddenly swung his sword.
Swoosh!
The black-robed elder’s head flew off, and in an instant, his soul was completely absorbed by the Qingxuan Sword.
Seeing this, the air in the area froze!
He really killed him?
And in front of Qianji City’s young lord, no less!
Qianji’s smile also froze in that instant.
Ye Xuan looked at Qianji and smiled. “Young Master Qianji, if I tell you now that this was just a misunderstanding, would you believe me?”
Qianji looked at Ye Xuan. “I thought you were a friend, Young Master Ye, but it seems I was mistaken!”
Ye Xuan chuckled lightly. “Young Master Qianji, don’t play games with me. Honestly, it’s giving me second-hand embarrassment! From the moment this fight started until now, don’t tell me you only just found out. If I’m not mistaken, the moment I clashed with your people, you were already watching from the shadows! But you didn’t intervene. You didn’t come out to say this was a misunderstanding. Why? Two reasons. First, you wanted to gauge my strength and background. Second, you just wanted to cause me some trouble because I’m a bit too close to Qin Guan, which makes you uncomfortable…”
He shook his head with a smile. “Now that I’ve killed him, deep down, you might not even be angry. In fact, you’re probably a bit pleased. Why? Because now you have a legitimate reason to target me! And by targeting me, you not only have a valid excuse, but you’re also standing on the moral high ground. Even Miss Qin would find it hard to intervene. Or perhaps, when you see Miss Qin later, you’ll play the victim or act pitiful. Then you won’t even need to deal with me yourself—she’ll grow to dislike me… Am I right?”
Qianji looked at Ye Xuan without speaking.
The woman beside Qianji suddenly said coldly, “What are you? Worth my cousin going to such lengths to target you? Laughable! As for Pavilion Master Qin, my cousin taking a liking to her is her honour, yet she still plays hard to get. We’re both women—I know exactly what she’s…”
“Shut up!”
Qianji suddenly roared, stopping the woman.
The woman froze.
At that moment, a voice came from the side, “Young Master Ye is an honoured guest of my Immortal Treasure Pavilion, a super VIP!”
Hearing this, Qianji’s expression changed drastically!
Everyone turned to look. Not far away, a woman was approaching slowly!
It was Qin Guan!
Beside Qin Guan were two others: Old Zhang and a slender woman in black battle armour, with a long sabre at her waist and an icy expression.
Seeing Qin Guan, Qianji hurriedly stepped forward. “Pavilion Master Qin, my cousin’s words were offensive. Please forgive her!”
Qin Guan smiled faintly. “I won’t forgive her!”
With that, she looked at the woman beside Qianji, who met her gaze without backing down.
At that moment, the woman beside Qin Guan suddenly vanished. The next instant, Qianji’s expression changed drastically. He was about to act, but the woman’s head flew off!
Blood sprayed like a fountain, gruesome and shocking!
Everyone in the area was dumbfounded!
She killed her just like that?
Ye Xuan was also stunned, but not because the armoured woman killed Qianji’s cousin. He was shocked by the armoured woman’s strength!
It was absurd!
In that split second, he hadn’t even reacted!
What kind of heaven-defying strength was this?
Qianji was completely frozen!
She really killed her!
He hadn’t expected Qin Guan’s people to show him no face at all. This was his cousin, a member of Qianji City!
Qin Guan gave the armoured woman a sidelong glance. “Shenxiu, I didn’t tell you to kill anyone!”
The woman, named Shenxiu, hesitated, then said, “The sabre was too fast. I couldn’t hold it back!”
Everyone: “…”
Qianji suddenly said gravely, “Pavilion Master Qin, I’ve always respected you, but your actions today are an insult to Qianji City. You must give us an explanation, or else…”
At that moment, Qianji’s voice stopped abruptly as a sabre was pressed against his neck!
Qianji’s expression changed drastically, his heart filled with utter shock.
No chance to resist!
Just how terrifying was this woman named Shenxiu?
Ye Xuan was equally stunned. This Shenxiu’s strength was outrageously powerful.
The sabre was too fast!
“Show mercy!”
At that moment, a voice suddenly resounded from the distant sky. The next moment, a middle-aged man tore through space and appeared before everyone!
It was Qianji City’s lord, Qian Mu!
Upon appearing, Qian Mu didn’t even glance at Qianji. He quickly walked to Qin Guan, clasped his fists, and said, “Pavilion Master Qin, my son has caused much offence. Please, be magnanimous and forgive him this once. I’ll take him back and discipline him strictly!”
Hearing this, everyone in the area was shocked.
Qian Mu was actually apologizing?
In truth, many didn’t know much about Qin Guan. They only knew the Immortal Treasure Pavilion was immensely wealthy, but not its true strength. To many, it was just a商会!
That wasn’t wrong, but it wasn’t just a商会—it was a商会 that dabbled in technology!
Qin Guan looked at Qian Mu and smiled. “To me, these are all trivial matters, because I don’t get angry with them. However, you’ve somewhat offended my friend!”
She turned to Ye Xuan. “Still angry?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Qin Guan thought for a moment, then said, “Really angry?”
Ye Xuan nodded again.
Qin Guan nodded slightly, then looked at Qian Mu. “City Lord Qian Mu, may I borrow something?”
Qian Mu stared intently at Qin Guan. “Borrow what?”
Qin Guan smiled faintly. “I’d like to borrow your son’s head for a moment!”
As her voice fell, a flash of sabre light appeared, and Qianji’s head flew off.
Shenxiu opened her palm, and Qianji’s head landed in her hand. She walked slowly to Ye Xuan, gave a slight bow, and said, “Please calm your anger, Young Master!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Qin Guan suddenly scanned the surroundings, then said, “Young Master Ye is the most esteemed super VIP of my Immortal Treasure Pavilion, under our protection. He is also my friend…”
As she spoke, she pulled out that massive sniper rifle and continued, “If anyone dares to make him unhappy in my presence again, I’ll send them straight to the crematorium!”
Everyone: “…”
