The Sword Spirit said, “Don’t think about shortcuts! Even if there’s a quicker path to the Way of the Bloodline, don’t take it. Improving yourself steadily is the most reliable!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Alright!”
With that, he gathered his thoughts and looked up at the demon beast in the distance. At that moment, the beast was also staring at him!
The beast’s eyes gleamed with ferocity, its body radiating a terrifying aura. The mere presence was enough to make many powerhouses despair.
Demon beasts typically had extraordinary bloodlines, but this beast’s bloodline pressure had no effect on Ye Xuan!
In terms of bloodlines, even Second Ya couldn’t suppress Ye Xuan!
Sensing his body, Ye Xuan realised, as the Sword Spirit said, that combat indeed enhanced his bloodline power!
Lately, he’d been too focused on showing off and hadn’t fought properly. That wasn’t right!
With this thought, he suddenly said, “Let’s continue!”
He charged forward!
Swish!
A streak of sword light tore through the scene!
Seeing Ye Xuan attack, the demon beast’s expression turned ferocious. The next moment, it rushed forward!
Soon, man and beast clashed again!
Notably, their fight was intense, with the surrounding space constantly annihilating, only to restore itself shortly after!
In the fray, sword lights crisscrossed!
They fought for days, and Ye Xuan gradually gained the upper hand over the beast!
Moreover, his bloodline power kept growing, making his combat strength increasingly formidable!
An hour later, Ye Xuan suddenly stopped.
His body was covered in countless cuts, blood seeping out.
He could injure the beast, and the beast could injure him!
Ye Xuan looked at the beast in the distance, which was staring back, its body riddled with sword marks!
Though the beast had self-healing abilities, Ye Xuan’s sword was too fast and sharp. One wound hadn’t healed before another appeared, leaving the beast unable to recover!
At that moment, the beast suddenly said, “Human, are you still fighting?”
Ye Xuan frowned. “You can talk?”
The beast glared at him. “Is that surprising?”
Ye Xuan said, “Not really. By the way, what’s your name?”
The beast’s expression was cold. “Why ask so much? Are you fighting or not?”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “Your call! If you fight, I’ll fight!”
The beast snapped, “Your call! If you fight, I’ll fight!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then asked, “Why are you fighting me?”
The beast said, “This is a forbidden land. Outsiders aren’t allowed!”
Ye Xuan blinked. “I’m not an outsider! I’m one of you!”
The beast frowned. “You’re a demon beast too?”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened. “I’m not a demon beast! Are you under the Great Dao Brush’s master?”
The beast nodded slightly.
Ye Xuan opened his palm, revealing the Great Dao Brush. “Do you recognise this brush?”
The beast shook its head.
Ye Xuan said seriously, “This is the Great Dao Brush!”
The Great Dao Brush!
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the beast frowned. “I think I’ve heard of it!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened. “Little Brush, can you tell me what kind of status you had with your master?”
The Great Dao Brush said, “Second only to one, above ten thousand!”
Ye Xuan sighed softly.
The Great Dao Brush said gravely, “Think about it. Would a small-town magistrate know the chief eunuch in the palace?”
Ye Xuan said, “So, your status is too high, and their rank is too low?”
The Great Dao Brush said, “You could say that!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, about to speak, when the beast suddenly said, “Human, if you’re not fighting anymore, I’m going back to rest!”
With that, it turned and left!
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Can I follow you up?”
The beast immediately said, “No!”
Ye Xuan raised the Great Dao Brush. “I’m one of you!”
The beast glanced at Ye Xuan, wagged its tail, and said, “One of us, huh!”
With that, it walked off without looking back!
“What the hell?”
Ye Xuan stared at the beast, bewildered. “What does it mean?”
The Great Dao Brush said gravely, “That beast is at least at the peak of the Heavenly Dao realm. And didn’t you sense it? There’s an even stronger aura further up!”
A stronger aura!
Ye Xuan looked toward the mountain peak, feeling a subtle yet powerful presence!
Stronger than this beast!
Ye Xuan retracted his gaze, frowning deeply.
This place was indeed extraordinary!
The Great Dao Brush continued, “My master came here once, but never returned. There must be a reason!”
Ye Xuan said, “Let’s not worry about that for now!”
He sat cross-legged and began healing!
In the earlier fight, he was covered in wounds, but it was exhilarating!
It had been a long time since he’d fought so freely!
Truly satisfying!
About half an hour later, Ye Xuan’s wounds had fully healed. He didn’t seek out the beast again but turned to find Xue Qing and the others!
He hadn’t forgotten how they’d betrayed him!
Soon, Ye Xuan frowned, discovering that Xue Qing and the others had left the Void Land!
Without hesitation, he chased after them!
In a certain void, Xue Qing, meditating in the starry sky, suddenly opened his eyes, looking into the distance where Ye Xuan approached, sword in hand!
Xue Qing looked at Ye Xuan. “We apologise. Is that enough?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “So naive?”
Xue Qing’s expression was calm. “This isn’t the Void Land!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “And?”
Xue Qing stared at Ye Xuan. “If you act, the three of us will fight with all we have. That’ll trigger the Heavenly Dao’s punishment! We’ll all go down together!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “So that’s your plan!”
Xue Qing snarled, “Do you really want us all to perish?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes!”
Xue Qing suddenly opened his palm, and a terrifying aura surged from his hand!
Boom!
Instantly, the entire starry river boiled!
The power of an ancient giant could truly destroy heaven and earth!
Xue Qing glared at Ye Xuan. “Since you’re not afraid of death, let’s all go down together!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Fine!”
At that moment, a terrifying aura appeared in the starry sky, and a giant eye loomed above them!
It was Zhao Tiandao!
Seeing the eye, Xue Qing and the others’ faces turned pale!
Xue Qing looked at Ye Xuan, frenzied. “Let’s all die together then!”
Then, Zhao Tiandao suddenly said, “Young Master Ye, what are you doing here?”
Young Master Ye?
Xue Qing and the others froze!
Ye Xuan smiled. “Brother Zhao, didn’t expect to meet again!”
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Xue Qing and the others were stunned!
He knows him?
Ye Xuan actually knows the Heavenly Dao?
In the sky, Zhao Tiandao glanced at Xue Qing and the others. “You know them?”
Ye Xuan blinked. “They tried to kill me!”
Zhao Tiandao paused, then said, “I’ll deal with them for you! They’ve violated the order anyway!”
A terrifying aura locked onto Xue Qing and the others.
Xue Qing was furious. “He’s in the Heavenly Dao realm and attacked outside. How can you bend the law?”
Ye Xuan shrugged. “I didn’t attack!”
Xue Qing froze.
Zhao Tiandao suddenly said, “Even if Young Master Ye attacked, so what?”
Xue Qing glared at Zhao Tiandao. “As the Heavenly Dao, the guardian of order, how can you say that? Aren’t you afraid of divine retribution?”
He stopped abruptly!
Damn it!
This guy is the Heavenly Dao. Who would bring retribution on him?
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Don’t act so righteous! In the Void Land, you set me up. Fearing my retaliation, you lured me here to use the Heavenly Dao to kill me. And now you play the victim? How can you be so shameless?”
Xue Qing looked at Ye Xuan, about to speak, but Ye Xuan shook his head. “No point wasting words!”
He swung his sword!
Swish!
Xue Qing’s head flew off instantly!
Seeing this, Zhao Mu and Li Feng were terrified!
An instant kill?
Zhao Mu quickly looked at Ye Xuan, trembling. “Young Master Ye, we were wrong. Please spare us…”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “If you’d admitted your fault in the Void Land, I might have given you a chance. But now…”
He swung his sword again!
Swish, swish!
In an instant, Zhao Mu and Li Feng were slain!
Ye Xuan sheathed his sword, looked at Zhao Tiandao, and smiled. “Brother Zhao, I have matters to attend to. Let’s catch up next time!”
Zhao Tiandao suddenly said, “You’re going to the Void Land?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Zhao Tiandao said gravely, “That place is dangerous. Be careful!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Dangerous?”
Zhao Tiandao nodded. “We’re strictly forbidden from entering that place. You must be extremely cautious!”
Ye Xuan asked, “Brother Zhao, do you know what’s there?”
Zhao Tiandao shook his head. “I don’t!”
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then said, “Thanks for the warning!”
Zhao Tiandao nodded slightly. “Brother Ye, until we meet again!”
With that, he vanished into the starry sky!
Ye Xuan turned to the Void Land, saying softly, “This place really isn’t simple!”
He transformed into a sword light and disappeared nearby!
Soon, Ye Xuan returned to the base of Dao Mountain, where he froze, seeing three figures!
Boundless Lord!
He’d finally found this guy!
Seeing Ye Xuan, Boundless Lord and the others were somewhat surprised!
Ye Xuan hurried over, smiling. “Boundless, long time no see!”
Boundless Lord said calmly, “Don’t be so enthusiastic. We’re not that close!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Boundless, I’m here to discuss a grand plan with you!”
Boundless Lord stared at Ye Xuan. “Are you trying to use me?”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
