The appearance of the head and sword left everyone in the field utterly stunned!
How long had it been?
Not even half a quarter of an hour!
At that moment, an extremely faint shadow appeared not far from the group.
Seeing it, the expressions of the gathered powerhouses changed dramatically.
Danger!
That was the collective feeling.
The Time Sect leader’s face was especially grave, his eyes tinged with fear.
A Half-Step Time Immortal, killed just like that?
The shadow looked at Qin Guan silently.
Qin Guan opened her palm, and a storage ring flew to the shadow. It took the ring and said, “Thank you!”
After a few steps, it paused and added, “Miss Qin, anyone else you need killed? Price is negotiable!”
Everyone: “…”
Qin Guan smiled, “Not for now!”
The shadow nodded and vanished.
Qin Guan opened her palm, the sword flew to her, and she handed it to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan took the Qingxuan Sword, then looked at White Saint, whose face paled. He stammered, “Misunderstanding! It’s a misunderstanding!”
Before he could react, Qin Guan pulled out her gun and fired.
*Boom!*
White Saint’s body and soul were obliterated instantly!
The Time Sect leader’s face changed. He turned to flee, but Qin Guan fired again.
*Boom!*
In the distant sky, the leader was reduced to nothing by a white beam!
Instant kill!
Qin Guan holstered her gun and said, “Let’s go!”
The group left.
The Time Sect was no more!
As they were about to leave the River of Time, Qin Guan stopped, frowning, and turned to look somewhere.
Beside her, Ye Xuan asked curiously, “Someone there?”
Qin Guan nodded, “A Time Immortal!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Time Immortal?”
Qin Guan nodded, “Reaching Time Immortal is impressive. Their body, mind, and soul are tempered by time, immune to its effects. Unless they court death, they’re nearly unkillable!”
Ye Xuan asked, “What about that mysterious person earlier?”
Qin Guan smiled, “The God of Amnesty, not following the Way of Time but another path. He’s about equal to a Time Immortal!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Another path?”
Qin Guan nodded, “There are many paths of cultivation. The Way of Time is just one. Some focus solely on the sword, ignoring all else, but master it to break all laws and ways with one strike! Others, like martial artists, don’t pursue realms but achieve godhood through martial prowess, unmatched in their era!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Got it!”
They left the River of Time.
Qin Guan looked at Ye Xuan, smiling, “We’re off!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Thanks!”
Qin Guan laughed, “No big deal!”
As she turned to leave, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Those ‘No Morals’ bombs—can I have a few for self-defense?”
Qin Guan rolled her eyes, “No way!”
Ye Xuan tried to protest, but Qin Guan, with the scythe woman and the old man, vanished at the horizon.
Ye Xuan sighed inwardly. Those ‘No Morals’ bombs were insanely powerful!
Dao Ling suddenly said, “Money’s great!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
He had to admit, money *was* great.
With enough money, who couldn’t you kill?
Cosmic Veins!
Even terrifying Time Immortals couldn’t resist their allure!
Dao Ling asked, “Brother Ye, still heading to the Shi Clan?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes!”
Dao Ling hesitated, “What if we can’t win?”
Ye Xuan glanced at him, “Run!”
Dao Ling: “…”
An hour later, they stormed the Shi Clan.
Seeing Ye Xuan and Dao Ling return, Shi Qian, the clan leader, looked grim.
They’re back!
Ye Xuan and Dao Ling exchanged glances. Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword soared, unleashing a 10,000-foot sword aura that slashed down from the sky.
*Rip!*
The sword aura tore through everything!
Dao Ling leaped, summoning a massive 10,000-foot dharma idol, clenching his fist and smashing it toward the Shi Clan.
*Boom!*
A terrifying force swept down, as if to shatter the heavens and earth.
After unleashing their devastating attacks, they turned and fled.
Gone!
Below, Shi Qian and his clan’s faces darkened.
Shi Qian snarled, “Strike!”
Several powerful Time Realm experts shot into the sky, meeting the sword aura and fist.
*Boom!*
The space above the Shi Clan exploded, the two forces wreaking havoc, leaving the area in chaos!
After a long while, the sky cleared, but Ye Xuan and Dao Ling were long gone.
Shi Qian’s face was ashen.
What the hell?
Then, his pupils shrank, “Watch out!”
He spun around as a shadow darted forward—Dao Ling!
Dao Ling’s fist smashed toward Shi Qian, swift as lightning, its force shattering nearby space!
Shi Qian reacted fast, crossing his arms to block.
*Boom!*
He was blasted thousands of feet back. As he retreated, several shadows rushed Dao Ling!
Shi Qian roared, “Beware of Ye Xuan in the shadows!”
Ye Xuan!
As his voice fell, a sword light flashed from afar. A Shi Clan Time Realm expert’s pupils shrank. He stomped, retreating, but the sword light vanished!
The expert froze.
A scream rang out nearby!
He turned to see a Shi Clan Time Realm expert’s head flying off, struck by Dao Ling!
A feint to strike one, hit another!
Shi Qian roared, “Protect his soul!”
He charged to stop Ye Xuan from destroying the soul.
But the Qingxuan Sword absorbed it instantly, and Ye Xuan and Dao Ling retreated, distancing themselves from Shi Qian.
Shi Qian froze, then glared at Ye Xuan, snarling, “Ye Xuan!”
Ye Xuan called out, “Call it a day! We’ll come back to kill another time! Farewell!”
He turned and bolted.
Dao Ling hesitated, still eager to fight, but realized staying meant getting swarmed to death.
Guerrilla tactics only—hit and run!
Take out a couple and flee!
Seeing them escape, the Shi Clan experts moved to chase, but Shi Qian stopped them.
They looked at him. He shook his head, “Chasing plays into their hands!”
The Shi Clan experts’ faces darkened.
In a straight fight, they could crush Ye Xuan and Dao Ling, but these two never fought fair!
Dirty tactics!
Sneak attacks!
Shameless!
The Shi Clan experts were livid.
Shi Qian suddenly asked, “Have we found Shi Tian?”
Shi Tian!
The clan grew excited.
Only a monster could handle monsters!
An elder said, “We found him, but…”
Shi Qian said softly, “He won’t come back?”
The elder replied, “He’s breaking through!”
Breaking through!
Shi Qian froze, then said, “He’s already a Time…”
He turned to the elder, trembling, “Already a Time expert, and still breaking through?”
The elder nodded, “Yes!”
Shi Qian burst into laughter, “Heaven spares our Shi Clan! Heaven spares our Shi Clan! Haha…”
The clan laughed, their gloom lifted.
They were wary of Ye Xuan and Dao Ling—super prodigies! If they kept targeting the Shi Clan, resistance would be tough, especially with their terrifying talent, growing stronger with each fight.
But thankfully, the Shi Clan had Shi Tian!
Shi Qian declared, “Let’s go see Shi Tian!”
He led the clan experts away.
…
Elsewhere in the starry sky, Ye Xuan and Dao Ling stopped, glancing back to confirm no Shi Clan pursuers, then entered the small tower.
Dao Ling said grimly, “The Shi Clan didn’t chase!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “They’re not stupid!”
Dao Ling asked, “Brother Ye, what’s next?”
Ye Xuan thought, then said, “We need to grow stronger!”
Dao Ling nodded eagerly, “Yes!”
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and a storage ring with 10,000 Cosmic Veins flew to Dao Ling.
Dao Ling glanced at Ye Xuan, grinning, “Brother Ye… this… how could I accept?”
He quickly pocketed the ring.
Ye Xuan was speechless, then said seriously, “To cultivate, we need more Cosmic Veins!”
Dao Ling nodded fervently.
At the Time Realm, their need for Cosmic Veins was immense! Without them, cultivation was impossible, and recovering after battles required them too.
Ye Xuan said softly, “I’ve got an idea!”
Dao Ling immediately said, “Great!”
Ye Xuan looked at him, “You don’t even ask what it is?”
Dao Ling said earnestly, “Your plans are always top-notch. Whatever you say, I’ll do. You plan, I act, and we’ll get rich together!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
