Instant kill!
To Ye Xuan now, even ancient titans were mere ants!
After the man was instantly killed, a terrifying aura suddenly surged from his body!
Ye Xuan frowned slightly.
Soon, that ancient, terrifying aura locked onto the man’s soul, which was about to dissipate!
Ye Xuan’s expression remained cold. “No one can save the person I want to kill!”
With that, he flicked his finger, and a wisp of sword light shot out!
Boom!
The man’s soul was completely erased!
At that moment, the space in front of Ye Xuan twisted into a massive vortex. From its depths, a cold voice echoed, “You killed a member of our Han Clan. Do you know the consequences?”
Ye Xuan’s expression stayed calm. “I am invincible. Do as you please!”
The voice roared in fury, “How arrogant!”
Ye Xuan replied coolly, “I’m just that awesome! If you disagree, come and fight me!”
With that, he waved his sleeve, and the black vortex was instantly flattened!
The Han Clan: “…”
Ye Xuan adjusted his clothes and muttered, “What a load of nonsense!”
Then he walked out!
Outside, Ye Xuan saw a woman, Kong Nian!
Kong Nian looked at him. “He’s dead?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes!”
Kong Nian’s voice deepened. “Do you know who he was?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “Not interested!”
With that, he walked off into the distance!
Kong Nian followed, but Ye Xuan suddenly turned. In an instant, a sword was pressed against her forehead.
Kong Nian froze, her eyes filled with disbelief!
Ye Xuan’s right hand pressed harder.
Swish!
The sword pierced her forehead, blood spilling out!
Ye Xuan stared at her. “I despise people like you! Always acting superior, doing whatever you want, caring only about your own happiness, never about others’ lives! Do you know what would happen if I were someone else?”
The Han Clan was clearly a major force. If it weren’t Ye Xuan but someone else, the outcome would have been tragic!
These great clans killed without reasoning, caring only about their own whims!
Kong Nian stared back. “Who are you?”
She was at the Dao Knowledge realm, yet in that moment, she had no power to resist!
Her curiosity turned to fear!
Ye Xuan stepped closer. “Who I am doesn’t matter. What’s important is, don’t provoke me again, understood?”
Kong Nian said gravely, “I didn’t tell him to come after you!”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “That doesn’t matter. What matters is you didn’t stop him. But now, that’s irrelevant too! What’s important is, I have no interest in you and no desire to know you!”
With that, he turned and left.
The sword in Kong Nian’s forehead flew back to Ye Xuan’s hand.
Watching him disappear, Kong Nian’s shock was overwhelming!
She was at the Dao Knowledge realm, yet she was pinned by a single sword!
Terrifying!
Kong Nian glanced into the distance, then turned and left.
…
Ye Xuan returned to the plaza. Seeing him, Elder Yu opened his eyes!
Looking at Ye Xuan, Elder Yu nodded slightly in greeting!
Ye Xuan nodded back!
By now, hundreds of Galaxy Academy students had gathered in the plaza.
Clearly, quite a few had passed the trial!
Of course, those who didn’t show up might never appear again!
Elder Yu stood up, scanning the students. “Do you know why this trial was held in the Chaos Lands?”
The crowd looked up at him. Elder Yu smiled. “Exactly. The academy wants you to experience the cruelty of this world.”
The students fell silent.
Elder Yu’s voice deepened. “The path of cultivation is cruel. In the future, you’ll face things ten, a hundred times harsher than today!”
He looked into the distance. “Let’s go to the next trial ground!”
The students rose.
Just then, a loud laugh came from the horizon. “Leaving just like that?”
Everyone turned to the sky, where an old man appeared. Seeing him, the students’ expressions grew grave!
An ancient titan!
Elder Yu frowned at the man. “Old Guo, what are you doing?”
Old Guo grinned. “Elder Yu, nothing much. Just thought it’s a bit unfair for you to leave like this.”
Elder Yu’s eyes narrowed. “Old Guo, I don’t recall any enmity between Galaxy Academy and your Dark Hall!”
Old Guo sneered. “Elder Yu, no enmity indeed! I’ll be blunt. The Dark Hall is a bit short on funds lately, so we’d like to borrow some money from Galaxy Academy. No problem, right?”
Extortion!
Elder Yu’s face darkened!
The students’ expressions turned grim!
Elder Yu said gravely, “Old Guo, must you do this?”
Old Guo laughed. “Don’t try to intimidate me with Galaxy Academy. This is the Chaos Lands, not Galaxy Realm. As for your dean, Gu Baiyue, hasn’t she been absent for years?”
Elder Yu’s gaze grew cold.
Old Guo grinned. “Your academy’s name won’t scare me. It’s useless!”
He glanced at the students. “I won’t ask for much. One trillion dimensional divine crystals will do!”
One trillion dimensional divine crystals!
Ye Xuan frowned. This guy had a huge appetite!
Old Guo added, “Elder Yu, are you calling for help? It’s useless. We’ve sealed the surrounding star field. You can’t contact Galaxy Realm. Even if you could, we’d kill everyone here before they arrive!”
His gaze turned icy. “Ten breaths to decide. Death or money!”
Elder Yu said gravely, “Do you think I have that much money?”
Old Guo blinked. “That’s your problem!”
Elder Yu’s eyes narrowed. “Are you here for wealth or to kill?”
Old Guo laughed. “Old Yu, we’re here for wealth, of course!”
He glanced at the students. “You can leave alone. In three hours, we need to see one trillion. Otherwise, these students die here! Of course, you can bring Galaxy Realm’s forces, but if you do, prepare to collect their bodies!”
Elder Yu’s face grew uglier!
Threatening him with the students!
If they died here, the consequences would be dire!
Who would dare join Galaxy Academy if it couldn’t protect its students?
Elder Yu’s expression darkened further!
Old Guo grinned. “Hurry back!”
Elder Yu glared at him, then turned to leave!
Suddenly, he said, “If a single person from Galaxy Academy is harmed, we will slaughter your entire Dark Hall!”
With that, he vanished into the starry sky!
Ye Xuan frowned.
Was Elder Yu that easily fooled?
Beside him, Xing Ling said gravely, “You think there’s a trap?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “These people might not be after money!”
As Xing Ling was about to speak, Old Guo in the sky said, “Keep the women. Kill all the men!”
Kill all!
The students’ faces changed drastically!
Just then, a man stepped forward. “Hold on!”
Old Guo looked at him. The man said gravely, “I’m from the Gu Clan!”
The Gu Clan!
Old Guo frowned, paused, then said, “Come here!”
The man hurriedly joined him.
Beside Ye Xuan, Xing Ling said gravely, “The Gu Clan is a first-tier force, and one of their ancestors married into the super-tier Han Clan! The Dark Hall isn’t weak, but they wouldn’t dare provoke a super-tier force. If the Han Clan retaliates, and other forces don’t help, the Dark Hall would be wiped out!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Having a backer is nice!”
Xing Ling: “…”
Another man stood up. “I’m from the Zhao Clan. My great-grandmother is connected to an elder of the Kong Clan!”
Old Guo glanced at him coldly. “Come here!”
The man, overjoyed, hurried over.
A woman stood up hesitantly. “I’m from the Li Family. My grandfather is a guest elder of the Qin Clan!”
Old Guo looked at her. “Come here!”
She nodded and quickly walked over!
Then, another man stood up hesitantly. “I’m from the Xiao Clan…”
The Xiao Clan!
Old Guo looked at him blankly. “Any ties to a super-tier force?”
The man shook his head. “No!”
Old Guo’s eyes narrowed. “Then why stand up?”
The man hesitated, then said, “The Xiao Clan is still decent…”
Old Guo sneered. “A first-tier force? That’s nothing!”
The man grew angry. “How can you say that? As the saying goes, thirty years east, thirty years west. Don’t bully the young and poor. I may not be strong now, but can you guarantee I won’t be in the future?”
Everyone: “…”
Old Guo said coldly, “You have no future!”
With a wave of his sleeve, a terrifying force crushed toward the man.
The man’s face changed, but a sword cultivator appeared before him!
With a wave of his sleeve, the sword cultivator shattered the force!
It was Ye Xuan!
Ye Xuan looked at Old Guo. “Those with backers live, right?”
Old Guo nodded. “Yes!”
Ye Xuan grinned. “Actually, I’m with the Master of the Great Dao Pen!”
Old Guo’s eyes narrowed. “Lying? Can’t you use some brains? Or do you think I’m an idiot?”
Ye Xuan slapped himself. “Damn, you’re not suited for telling the truth…”
