Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the faces of the God Ancient Clan warriors darkened.
More than that, they were furious!
Ye Xuan winning paid one-to-two; the young man winning paid one-to-ten.
This was blatant contempt for the God Ancient Clan!
Before Ye Xuan, the young man said calmly, “Anyone want to play? If you do, join in! Our friend here is quite the high roller!”
At his words, the clan warriors began placing bets.
All wagered on the young man’s victory!
In no time, the pot reached ten million cosmic veins!
Every bet was on the young man, the clan’s most prodigious talent. They had to back him, and they were irked by Ye Xuan—an outsider daring to strut in their clan?
Ye Xuan was speechless. This was a great clan?
These youngsters and old monsters could only muster ten million veins?
So poor!
Qin Guan, the rich lady, was far better—beautiful and wealthy…
Snapping back, Ye Xuan turned to the young man, smiling, “Ready to start?”
The young man nodded, “Yes.”
He looked at Ye Xuan, chuckling, “You’re really that confident, so—”
His words cut off as a sword light appeared without warning at his brow.
Void Slash!
The young man’s pupils shrank—too sudden!
Instinctively, he crossed his arms to block.
*Boom!*
The sword sent him flying a hundred feet. As he stopped, his body shattered, and a sword pressed against his brow!
The arena fell deathly silent.
Defeated?
Just like that?
Two swords?
One to shatter the body, one to pin the soul?
The crowd was dumbfounded!
Ye Xuan collected the storage rings from the table, then looked at the young man, “You lost.”
His palm opened, and the young man’s ring floated to him!
Twenty million cosmic veins total!
Ye Xuan’s lips curved slightly.
Now with fifty million veins, his immediate needs were met.
The young man roared, “You cheated!”
Cheated!
The clan warriors echoed, “Cheater!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “Brother, didn’t I ask if we could start?”
The young man’s face soured.
Ye Xuan laughed, “And your answer? You said, ‘Yes.’ If I acted, what’s the problem?”
Young man: “…”
“Shameless!”
A young woman stepped forward, about twenty, in a green dress, delicate features, glaring at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan glanced at her, “How’s that shameless?”
She fumed, “Brother Gu Xin was talking, and you struck. If that’s not cheating, what is?”
Ye Xuan asked, “Didn’t I ask if we could start?”
She snapped, “He was talking!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “The fight began, yet he kept talking. Isn’t that idiotic?”
She glared, “He was talking!”
Ye Xuan gaped, “Are you toxic?”
She raged, “You’re shameless, a cheater!”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “Girl, with my old temper, someone like you would’ve died a hundred times.”
He turned to leave.
The clan warriors, unrelenting, kept cursing him.
Ye Xuan stopped, turning to them, “Not convinced? Let’s fight again. Who’s up?”
Who’s up?
Silence fell.
Ye Xuan’s sneak attack aside, his strength was undeniable. Without skill, no ambush would’ve worked!
The woman shouted again, “You cheater, you—”
Ye Xuan vanished.
*Slap!*
Before everyone, he slapped her face.
Her teeth and blood sprayed out. Ye Xuan grabbed her throat, slamming her to the ground.
*Boom!*
The ground cracked, her head embedded in it.
Ye Xuan stepped on her, calm, “I gave you face, but you didn’t want it. If you don’t value it, why should I be polite?”
His foot stomped her face.
*Boom!*
Her face shattered, gruesome!
“Outrageous!”
A furious shout came from afar.
Ye Xuan looked over. A black-clad man glared at him.
Ye Xuan blinked, “Why so angry? Come fight me!”
Crowd: “…”
The man, choking, said, “Bullying a woman—what’s that?”
A sword pressed against his brow!
The man froze.
Ye Xuan pressed forward slightly.
*Slash!*
The sword cut half an inch, blood covering the man’s face.
Ye Xuan eyed him, “Now I’m bullying you. You’re not a woman, right?”
The man trembled, “This… this is the God Ancient Clan!”
Ye Xuan smiled, shaking his head, “If you’re not convinced, come fight me. I’m right here!”
Arrogant!
The young clan warriors seethed, but none stepped forward!
Ye Xuan’s strength was too terrifying!
He chuckled, “What, God Ancient Clan only fights with words?”
A man shouted, “You dare insult us—”
A sword light pressed against his brow.
He glared, “Kill me if you dare. I’m not afraid—”
*Slash!*
The sword pierced his brow.
*Boom!*
His body was erased!
Completely erased!
The clan warriors’ faces changed.
They hadn’t expected Ye Xuan to kill in their clan!
Gu Xin said coldly, “You’re disrespecting—”
A sword pressed against his brow!
Ye Xuan turned to him, “You’re the clan’s top genius?”
Gu Xin stared, “Yes!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “You’re this weak?”
Gu Xin’s face twisted, “You insult me!”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “What’s there to insult? First, you can’t handle losing. Second, you don’t face reality. Reality is, you can’t afford to cross me! Why am I here? I couldn’t beat your Clan Leader, so I yielded. You can’t beat me, yet you posture. Are you an idiot?”
The sword plunged into Gu Xin’s brow, about to finish him, when a terrifying force enveloped Gu Xin, ejecting the sword!
An elder appeared—the one always with the Clan Leader!
He looked at Ye Xuan, “Young Master Ye, you’ve gone too far!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Have I?”
He smiled, shaking his head, “This is the God Ancient Clan? Disappointing education.”
He turned to leave.
The elder and others looked grim.
The young clan warriors shouted, demanding Ye Xuan leave.
Ye Xuan stopped, turning, “You want me gone?”
One yelled, “Yes! This is our clan. You’re not one of us. Get out—”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Fine, I’ll go.”
He soared skyward on his sword, vanishing into the stars.
The elder’s face changed, “Young Master Ye…”
Ye Xuan was gone.
Deep in the stars, Ye Xuan paused. Before him stood the God Ancient Clan Leader!
She looked at him, silent.
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Your people told me to leave.”
She said calmly, “You’re a bit flashy.”
Ye Xuan: “…”
She vanished. Ye Xuan blinked, and the scene shifted—they were back in the martial arena.
The clan warriors were still there.
Seeing her, they bowed, “Clan Leader!”
She turned to Ye Xuan, “You said our education’s lacking… care to elaborate?”
Ye Xuan said flatly, “What’s to say?”
She watched him, “I think our clan needs change. You’re a teacher, right? How about I set up a class for you here?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “Not interested.”
Her brows furrowed.
Without a word, he turned to leave.
Joking? Teach just because you say? Am I a fool?
She called out, “There’s money.”
Ye Xuan stopped, turning, “How much?”
She said, “We can negotiate.”
Ye Xuan thought, then said, “Ten million veins a month.”
Her brows furrowed again, “Why not rob us?”
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and a copy of *Divine Dao Codex* floated to her, “Seen this?”
She opened it, then froze, “This…”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “I wrote it.”
Qin Guan: “…”
