A scholar!
Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the Mysterious God Realm leader’s face darkened instantly!
He realized this cunning fellow was quite the smooth talker!
Scholars, not a single one of them was any good!
At that moment, the black-robed elder suddenly said, “I trust you!”
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Great Dao Brush slowly floated before him.
Staring at the Brush, the elder’s eyes blazed with excitement. This was the Great Dao Brush, the legendary Great Dao Brush!
Just then, the leader interjected, “You really believe him?”
The elder said gravely, “He’s a scholar! I trust scholars!”
The leader: “…”
Without further ado, the elder grasped the Brush. With Ye Xuan’s permission, the Brush didn’t harm him.
Seeing this, the leader’s eyes narrowed, his thoughts unreadable.
Suddenly, the Brush trembled violently.
Boom!
The elder’s aura surged wildly!
In an instant, he shot from Ancient God Realm to Supreme Ancient God Realm!
A terrifying aura swept through the scene!
The leader’s face turned grim.
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “I didn’t lie, did I?”
The elder looked at Ye Xuan, silent.
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “Are you thinking of killing me to keep the Brush for yourself? If so, you’re in danger!”
The elder paused, then laughed, “Young Master Ye, you jest!”
Ye Xuan smiled, then turned to the leader, “Aren’t you going to deal with this threat?”
The leader’s expression remained calm.
The elder turned to the leader, “Sorry, Leader!”
As he moved to act, a terrifying aura suddenly enveloped the area. A white-haired elder appeared not far from the black-robed elder!
Supreme Ancient God Realm!
Seeing him, the black-robed elder’s eyes narrowed, filled with shock. “You’re…”
The leader said coolly, “This is my second senior brother, not part of the Mysterious God Realm. It’s normal you haven’t met him!”
Second senior brother!
Ye Xuan’s chest ached. Did this guy have a first senior brother too?
The white-haired elder looked at the black-robed elder, “Swayed by a few words and you betray… Tell me, with that brain, how did you reach Ancient God Realm?”
The black-robed elder’s face darkened, and he began to panic!
Though he’d reached Supreme Ancient God Realm with the Brush, he knew it was through a secret method and couldn’t match a true Supreme Ancient God.
The leader suddenly said, “Xu Mu, I’ll give you one last chance. Kill Ye Xuan now, and I’ll pretend nothing happened!”
The black-robed elder, Xu Mu, looked grim, lost in thought.
Ye Xuan laughed, “Senior Xu Mu, you have no way back now! Before, you weren’t a threat to them, so they might not have killed you. But now, you’re a danger. Do you think they’ll let you go?”
He smiled faintly, “Things have come to this. Why not take a gamble? Compared to them, I’m more trustworthy, no?”
Xu Mu looked at Ye Xuan, who, though still a blood figure, seemed sincere, without a trace of deceit.
The leader sneered, “Xu Mu, we have two Supreme Ancient Gods. If you choose him…”
Ye Xuan cut in, “Why assume I have no one behind me?”
The leader froze.
Xu Mu froze too!
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, a creepy sight given his blood-activated state, making him a blood figure. His grin was anything but ordinary!
Ye Xuan said, “Leader, you think I have no Supreme Ancient Gods behind me?”
The leader stared at Ye Xuan, silent.
Ye Xuan turned to Xu Mu, smiling, “Half an hour, and my people will arrive.”
Xu Mu asked gravely, “How many?”
Ye Xuan grinned, “Five Supreme Ancient Gods!”
Five!
Xu Mu was stunned.
The leader scoffed, “Five Supreme Ancient Gods? Are you joking?”
Ye Xuan said coolly, “If the Great Dao Brush follows me, what’s impossible?”
The leader stared at Ye Xuan, “I don’t believe you!”
Ye Xuan smiled at Xu Mu, “Senior Xu Mu, just hold off this white-haired elder. I’ll handle the leader.”
The white-haired elder glanced at Ye Xuan,-then at Xu Mu, “You…”
Xu Mu cut in, “Enough! I’m with Young Master Ye!”
He’d made his choice. As Ye Xuan said, if the leader killed Ye Xuan, he wouldn’t be spared after his betrayal.
And after wielding the Brush, he realized he’d underestimated it—and Ye Xuan.
A youth followed by the Great Dao Brush was no ordinary person!
So, he decided to take the gamble!
Besides, didn’t Ye Xuan say five Supreme Ancient Gods were coming?
Five!
Hearing Xu Mu’s words, the white-haired elder’s eyes narrowed. He vanished, charging at Ye Xuan!
Clearly aiming to kill Ye Xuan first!
Xu Mu roared and rushed at the white-haired elder.
Ye Xuan glanced at them, then turned to the last Ancient God Realm expert by the leader’s side. “You’re not leaving? Once we recover, you won’t be able to!”
The expert didn’t hesitate, turning and vanishing into the horizon.
The leader stared at Ye Xuan, “I must say, you’re impressive. With that silver tongue, you’ve swayed five of my Ancient God Realm experts and turned one to your side… Impressive!”
Ye Xuan ignored him, closing his eyes.
Healing!
He needed to heal fast. Xu Mu was losing to the white-haired elder, his boosted strength too unstable, and he couldn’t wield the Brush directly against enemies!
He had to keep a card up his sleeve!
He wouldn’t fully trust Xu Mu!
Seeing Ye Xuan heal, the leader began restoring his own body.
But Ye Xuan recovered faster!
With his immortal bloodline and Yang Nian Xue’s pills, few could match his healing speed.
Seeing Ye Xuan recover so quickly, the leader’s face darkened. He knew if Ye Xuan fully recovered, the situation would turn heavily against him!
And Ye Xuan’s aura was still growing!
His bloodline power kept boosting his strength!
After a moment’s silence, the leader opened his right hand. A token shot skyward, vanishing into the starry depths!
Ye Xuan opened his eyes, frowning at the leader. “You’re calling for backup?”
The leader countered, “Why not?”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “That’s a bit much!”
The leader sneered, “Too much? In this era, who fights you one-on-one?”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
No martial virtue!
The leader stared at Ye Xuan, “No matter who’s behind you, today, you die. I, Xuan Tian, say so!”
Ye Xuan stayed calm.
Should he call for help too?
If this kept up, this guy would call more and more people. He couldn’t hold out!
The leader suddenly laughed, “You seem scared!”
Ye Xuan glanced at him, “All this chatter, so much nonsense!”
The leader was about to retort when a sword appeared at his brow!
His eyes narrowed, and he threw a punch!
Boom!
The swordlight shattered, but Ye Xuan rushed forward, slashing down fiercely!
A glint of ferocity flashed in Xuan Tian’s eyes as he met the strike with a punch.
Boom!
Both were flung back a thousand feet!
As Ye Xuan stopped, blood trickled from his mouth, but it was quickly reabsorbed!
He took a deep breath, glancing to his right. Xu Mu was barely holding on!
Ye Xuan’s face darkened. He looked at the leader, ready to act, when the leader laughed, “Panicking! Haha, you’re panicking! You said five Supreme Ancient Gods were coming, but you were bluffing!”
He squinted, “You’re some faction’s abandoned pawn, aren’t you? We’ve fought this long, and not one of your people has shown up. Other than being abandoned, I can’t think of another reason!”
Ye Xuan’s expression stayed calm. He opened his palm, a sword quietly forming. Just then, a terrifying aura appeared behind him!
His pupils shrank as he spun, raising his sword to block.
Boom!
Ye Xuan was hurled tens of thousands of feet away. As he stopped, his blood sword and body shattered, his soul dimming like a wisp of smoke!
His prior injuries hadn’t healed, and now, ambushed by another top-tier expert, he couldn’t withstand it.
Where he’d stood, a long-haired elder with a sinister gaze stood, radiating a terrifying aura!
Another Supreme Ancient God!
Xuan Tian laughed, “Allow me to introduce my first senior brother, Ku Rong! Also a Supreme Ancient God!”
He looked at Ye Xuan, “You said your people would arrive in half an hour. It’s been half an hour! Where are they?”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, wiping blood from his mouth. “You’re right, I have no one!”
“Your father’s not a person?”
A voice suddenly rang by Ye Xuan’s ear. The next moment, the space beside him tore open, and a man in a green robe stepped out.
Ye Xuan froze.
Xuan Tian glanced at the green-robed sword cultivator, sneering, “One? Just one? Who’re you underestimating?”
…
