In the starry sky, seeing Dao Ling’s soul dissipating at a visible rate, Ye Xuan was stunned.
He quickly shouted, “Qing’er, stop! He’s one of us!”
*Boom!*
From within Dao Ling, the sword light shot skyward, vanishing into the depths of the star river.
Dao Ling, still dazed, stammered, “Brother Ye… that sword just now…”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “As the pagoda said, play if you want, joke if you want, but don’t mess with my sister!”
Dao Ling: “…”
After a moment, Dao Ling’s body returned to normal, but he was still weak and needed to recover.
The plan to attack the Shi Clan had to be shelved for now!
Ye Xuan was somewhat exasperated!
After a long while, Dao Ling said gravely, “Brother Ye, may I ask, what realm is your sister in?”
Ye Xuan replied casually, “No realm!”
Dao Ling frowned. “No realm?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “None at all. She doesn’t cultivate realms!”
Dao Ling said gravely, “Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
Ye Xuan asked, “After that sword strike just now, what do you think?”
Dao Ling: “…”
Ye Xuan sighed softly. “Brother Dao Ling, don’t be so narrow-minded! The world is vast, and there are many strong people. We’re all quite insignificant!”
Dao Ling fell silent.
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Brother Dao Ling, have you recovered?”
Dao Ling looked at him. “Are we really attacking the Shi Clan?”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily. “Of course! A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years, but I, Ye Xuan, prefer to settle scores the same day—unless I really can’t win!”
Dao Ling: “…”
Moments later, Dao Ling’s injuries healed.
The two set off for the Shi Clan!
Along the way, Dao Ling was preoccupied.
He had to admit, that sword strike had left him utterly shaken!
He’d never imagined being one-shotted by someone!
He was in the Time Realm, one of the strongest in the universe!
Yet, he’d nearly been killed by a single sword!
It was absurdly outrageous!
…
Soon, the two arrived at the Shi Clan, where all its experts had already returned.
Upon entering, Ye Xuan didn’t hesitate, slashing downward with a single sword strike!
*Rip!*
A massive sword qi descended from the sky, aimed at the Shi Clan below.
At that moment, a shadow shot up from below.
*Boom!*
The sword qi was shattered!
An elder appeared before Dao Ling and Ye Xuan—it was Shi Qian.
With Shi Yuan dead, Shi Qian was now the acting Clan Leader.
Shi Qian looked at the two and wasted no words. “Activate the formation!”
*Boom!*
From within the Shi Clan, a massive light curtain shot skyward. In an instant, a huge circular light disc appeared above Ye Xuan and Dao Ling. Around them, more light curtains surged from the clan, converging into the disc.
*Boom!*
The disc trembled violently, sending waves of terrifying pressure toward Ye Xuan and Dao Ling!
At the same time, four Time Realm experts appeared behind them.
Negotiate?
Shi Qian had no such intention.
The Shi Clan and these two were in a fight to the death. Asking for peace would only be self-humiliation. At this point, it was do or die!
Ye Xuan turned to Dao Ling. “What do you think?”
Dao Ling glanced around, then said, “I’ll take two Time Realm experts and the formation! You handle three Time Realm experts—how’s that?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Fine!”
Dao Ling hesitated, then said, “Brother Ye, promise me you won’t ditch your teammate!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Dao Ling said no more, charging forward.
*Boom!*
In an instant, a tens-of-thousands-of-feet-tall Dharma Idol appeared in the starry sky beyond the light curtain—it was Dao Ling’s. Compared to before, it was several times larger, and its aura was entirely different!
Everyone felt a terrifying pressure!
In the distance, Shi Qian’s eyes narrowed. “Shi Ran, Shi Mu, don’t underestimate him!”
Two Time Realm experts nodded and shot skyward.
In the sky, a ferocious glint flashed in Dao Ling’s eyes. He was about to strike when, as if recalling something, he glanced at Ye Xuan. “Brother Ye, don’t ditch your teammate!”
With that, he charged at the two Time Realm experts below!
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Was he the type to ditch a teammate?
Shi Qian suddenly said, “Come, let’s see how you two plan to destroy my Shi Clan today!”
With that, he charged at Ye Xuan.
*Boom!*
The space-time before Ye Xuan shattered under a terrifying force!
Ye Xuan drew his sword and slashed.
*Boom!*
A burst of sword light erupted, and both retreated instantly!
As Ye Xuan retreated, a shadow flashed behind him, a fist smashing toward the back of his head.
Perfect coordination!
No chance to breathe!
Ye Xuan remained calm. With a thought, the Qingxuan Sword transformed into a sword shield behind him.
*Boom!*
The shield trembled violently, the force sending Ye Xuan and the shield flying tens of thousands of feet. As he stopped, a cold glint tore through the space-time behind him, slashing straight at him!
A ferocious glint flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes. He gripped the Qingxuan Sword tightly and swung it around.
*Boom!*
The sword light shattered, and a shadow was blasted back tens of thousands of feet by the strike!
But at that moment, two terrifying auras appeared beside him.
Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes. Instantly, several eerie sword lights appeared around him!
*Slashing the Future*!
Shi Qian’s expression changed slightly. These swords seemed to be waiting for them, appearing too bizarrely!
Shi Qian retracted his fist aimed at Ye Xuan and smashed it toward the eerie sword!
*Boom!*
A burst of sword light exploded, and Shi Qian retreated repeatedly. The other Time Realm expert also retreated frantically!
In the distance, Ye Xuan stood motionless, but dozens of eerie swords appeared around him!
*Slashing the Future*!
Seeing this, Shi Qian’s face changed dramatically. These swords were too strange, and worst of all, Ye Xuan’s swords were so sharp that even they didn’t dare face them head-on!
Shi Qian shouted, “Defend!”
The three quickly grouped together, combining their efforts to fend off the eerie swords!
Ye Xuan remained calm and still, not striking, yet swords kept slashing at Shi Qian’s group!
Each sword was more terrifying than the last!
Shi Qian and his group were forced to retreat repeatedly!
They could only defend passively, as the swords appeared too unpredictably, impossible to trace.
At that moment, one Time Realm expert suddenly said, “We must seal this space-time!”
Shi Qian leaped forward, ignoring a sword slashing from behind, and smashed his right hand forward.
*Boom!*
Instantly, the tens of thousands of feet of space-time above the Shi Clan shattered and annihilated, along with the river of time!
As the river of time collapsed, the eerie swords vanished!
Seeing this, Shi Qian and his group breathed a sigh of relief!
Those swords were too bizarre, and their sharpness posed a lethal threat!
Then, Ye Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Shi Qian. The three’s eyes were filled with caution.
Ye Xuan’s combat strength had exceeded their expectations!
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword flew out.
Shi Qian’s eyes narrowed. He flipped his palm, and a massive black shield appeared. Holding it, he charged forward.
*Boom!*
The sword light was shattered, but the shield also exploded. The Qingxuan Sword drove straight at Shi Qian, but a long spear suddenly struck it.
*Boom!*
The Qingxuan Sword was stopped!
Another Time Realm expert had acted!
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword returned to him. He closed his eyes again, and his form began to fade!
Seeing this, Shi Qian’s eyes narrowed. “Careful!”
A sword cultivator!
Ye Xuan’s combat strength far exceeded their expectations. Facing him now, they dared not be careless!
At that moment, Ye Xuan opened his eyes. At the edge of the horizon, a sword light suddenly appeared.
Seeing this, Shi Qian and his group’s faces changed drastically. Shi Qian roared, “Careful!”
They hadn’t expected Ye Xuan’s strike to target not them but Shi Ran, who was fighting Dao Ling at the horizon!
At the starry sky’s edge, Shi Ran’s face changed as he attacked. He turned, raising his right hand to block.
*Boom!*
In everyone’s view, Shi Ran was blasted into the Realm of Death by the sword. As he stopped, his body shattered, and another sword came slashing!
This sudden strike left the already broken-bodied Shi Ran in despair, but a shadow rushed to him, and a cold glint met the sword.
*Boom!*
Ye Xuan’s sword was blocked, and the shadow quickly pulled Shi Ran out of the Realm of Death!
Shi Ran breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Ye Xuan with newfound wariness.
If it were a direct fight, he wasn’t afraid. Even if he couldn’t win, he wouldn’t lose badly! But Ye Xuan’s sneaky tactics scared him!
Impossible to guard against!
Those swords from the future were too eerie!
Shi Qian suddenly shouted, “Activate the formation!”
The massive light curtain in the sky spun rapidly, and terrifying light pillars streaked like meteors, heading straight for Ye Xuan!
Ye Xuan frowned. He opened his palm, and with a thought, hundreds of thousands of qi swords appeared around him. He said softly, “Rise!”
*Buzz!*
A sword hum echoed through the heavens. Hundreds of thousands of qi swords shot skyward, meeting the rain of light pillars.
*Rip rip rip rip!*
In the heavens, tearing and booming sounds rang out, like the end of the world…
…
