Betray teammates!
Having followed Ye Xuan for so long, the Great Dao Pen knew his character well!
This guy was often utterly unreliable!
It was genuinely a bit afraid!
Hearing the Great Dao Pen’s words, Ye Xuan burst into laughter. He opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared in his hand. Pointing it at the middle-aged man and the others in the distance, he grinned ferociously, “Come at me, all of you!”
All at once.
Across from Ye Xuan, the middle-aged man shook his head slightly, “How dare you!”
With that, he took a step forward.
Boom!
The spacetime before Ye Xuan split open, a shadow flashing through. At the same time, a terrifying force, like ten thousand mountains, crushed down, shattering the surrounding spacetime layer by layer, utterly terrifying!
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, a glint of ferocity flashing in them. The next moment, his eyes turned blood-red.
Sword out!
Sss!
A sword cry echoed through the cosmic starry sky as a beam of sword light slashed straight down from before Ye Xuan!
Shattering everything!
Boom!
Ye Xuan and the middle-aged man both retreated rapidly. Ye Xuan stopped after ten thousand zhang, as did the middle-aged man in the distance!
The man looked at Ye Xuan, eyes narrowing, “Bloodline power!”
Ye Xuan grinned, his smile devilishly charming, “Do you know who my father is?”
The man stared at Ye Xuan, his expression calm, “I know you’re the Backer King, with a powerful backer. What, trying to scare me with your backer?”
Ye Xuan chuckled, “No! I’m just telling you, my father’s incredible. He could wipe out your Past Sect with one sword!”
The man scoffed, “Ignorant! Laughable! Your father wiping out my Past Sect with one sword? How dare you say such nonsense?”
Ye Xuan looked at him, “You’re questioning my father?”
The man said calmly, “If the son’s this weak, how strong can the father be?”
Sss!
At that moment, a blood-red sword shot out from Ye Xuan’s body.
The man’s pupils shrank. He pressed his hands forward, instantly forming a massive shield of terrifying energy before him!
The sword arrived!
Sss!
Under everyone’s gaze, the blood-red sword sliced through the shield like tofu, piercing straight through the man’s forehead!
Everyone froze!
The man stood rigid, staring blankly at Ye Xuan, “You…”
Ye Xuan’s expression was calm, “This is fatherly love, understand?”
The man, “…”
At that moment, a voice came from the side, “This is what you call relying on yourself?”
Ye Xuan turned to see Jiang Lian approaching!
Looking at her, Ye Xuan said, “Did I call anyone?”
Jiang Lian stared at him, her gaze icy, “This doesn’t count as calling someone?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “I didn’t call anyone. Your people insulted my father first. If you’re not convinced, go seek revenge on him. Don’t worry, us Yangs are upright. If you go, I, Ye Xuan, absolutely won’t interfere!”
Jiang Lian looked at Ye Xuan, silent.
At that moment, the sword spirit suddenly spoke, “My master asked me to pass a message: Father is father, son is son. If the son does something, deal with the son, not the father! Also, he’s right. The Yang family is upright. If you mess with the son, the father absolutely won’t interfere!”
With that, she turned into a blood-red light and returned to Ye Xuan’s body!
Ye Xuan paused, then muttered, “Damn!”
Jiang Lian suddenly chuckled, “Impressive! You father and son sure know how to play!”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “Miss Jiang Lian, how about this: let’s make a deal. Here and now, I’ll face your Past Sect one-on-one. As long as you fight me solo and don’t gang up, I won’t call anyone. How’s that?”
Jiang Lian stared at Ye Xuan, “Call someone now!”
Ye Xuan frowned.
Jiang Lian glared at him, “Go on, call someone now!”
Ye Xuan was silent.
Damn it!
This woman wasn’t playing by the rules!
Jiang Lian chuckled, “Young Master Ye, you won’t call anyone because you know if you do, you’ll always be the Backer King! You want to prove to the world you’re this era’s protagonist, not just a Backer King…”
Ye Xuan suddenly raised his Qingxuan Sword, cutting her off, “If you’ve got the guts, choose a group fight. See if I call or not!”
Jiang Lian stared at Ye Xuan, silent.
Did she dare?
She didn’t dare either!
From her investigations, this Backer King never played fair!
At that moment, an elder beside Jiang Lian said, “Miss Jiang Lian, do we need to fear him?”
Jiang Lian glanced at the elder, “If you’re not afraid, go ahead and take him on!”
The elder frowned.
Honestly, he was wary. That middle-aged man had just been instantly killed!
A Third Knowledge Realm expert, gone in a flash!
That was terrifying, especially since the attacker hadn’t even shown up!
Jiang Lian looked at Ye Xuan, “Young Master Ye, are you really choosing to play the savior?”
Ye Xuan waved his hand, “Let’s not waste words! If you want to break the Ruins, you have to get past me first! Send someone for a one-on-one! Don’t worry, in a fair fight, even if I die, I won’t call anyone. That’s my final stand!”
One-on-one!
Jiang Lian paused, then smiled, “Sure, no problem!”
She turned, “He’s agreed to one-on-one. It’s up to you now!”
With that, she stepped aside!
Hearing her, Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed!
Damn it!
This woman’s goal from the start was to trick him into a one-on-one!
If he lost and called for help, he’d ruin his own resolve!
Ye Xuan glanced at Jiang Lian, who smiled faintly.
Ye Xuan smiled back, looking delighted!
Seeing his smile, Jiang Lian’s brows furrowed, a faint unease rising in her heart!
At that moment, the distant spacetime split open, and a man in white slowly walked out.
Third Knowledge Realm!
Seeing him, the Past Sect powerhouses froze.
White Robe!
The young sect leader of the Past Sect, the youngest Third Knowledge Realm expert in their history.
Though Third Knowledge Realm, he had a terrifying record: he’d once killed someone above that realm!
Seeing this man, Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed!
His appearance was silent, without any aura, like an ordinary person. Yet everyone felt an invisible oppressive force!
The pressure of a true powerhouse!
Ye Xuan had felt it from White Armour before!
The man in white walked up to Ye Xuan, looking at him. Suddenly, his aura plummeted, dropping to the Order Realm in an instant!
Everyone froze!
Jiang Lian frowned, “Are you underestimating him?”
The man shook his head, “No, I’m respecting Young Master Ye.”
He looked at Ye Xuan, “This is a fair fight. How could I use my realm to suppress you? You’re Order Realm, and now so am I. This is a true fair fight.”
Ye Xuan smiled, “You didn’t have to do this!”
The man chuckled, “Young Master Ye, come! I’d like to test a sword cultivator’s blade!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “Since you’re suppressing your realm, I won’t use external tools either!”
With that, his Qingxuan Sword turned into a Human Sword!
The opponent was proud!
So was Ye Xuan!
They exchanged a glance, and without further words, Ye Xuan vanished.
Sss!
The spacetime before the man split open, and a sword light slashed down!
The man’s expression was calm. He extended two fingers, gently pinching.
Boom!
He caught the sword between his fingers. As he was about to exert force, Ye Xuan suddenly let go. The next moment, his right hand slashed toward the man’s abdomen, another Human Sword in his grip!
The man’s eyes narrowed, reacting swiftly. He released the sword, pointing a finger at Ye Xuan’s throat!
Trading injury for life!
This move forced Ye Xuan to retract his sword. If he did, he’d instantly fall into a defensive position, becoming passive!
But to the man’s surprise, Ye Xuan didn’t retract!
Boom!
Sss!
In an instant, both retreated rapidly.
After a few breaths, they stopped almost simultaneously.
Ye Xuan’s throat was cut, blood seeping out. Across from him, the man’s abdomen bore a deep sword wound!
The man hadn’t trained his physical body, so Ye Xuan’s sword could break his defense!
Everyone watched, stunned.
They were shocked. Neither expected the two to fight so ruthlessly from the start!
The man looked at Ye Xuan, saying softly, “So, Young Master Ye is a sword cultivator. Truly surpr—”
Before he finished, Ye Xuan vanished!
A flash of sword light!
Sss!
A sword appeared at the man’s forehead!
Caught off guard while speaking, the man was a fraction too slow. He didn’t try to catch the sword this time, instead dodging slightly, narrowly avoiding it. Almost simultaneously, he spun, throwing a fierce punch at Ye Xuan’s head!
Boom!
The punch shook the starry sky, stunning everyone!
Ye Xuan, missing his strike, didn’t dodge. Instead, he twisted his wrist, slashing horizontally at the man’s abdomen again!
Another life-for-life exchange!
Boom!
Sss!
Ye Xuan took the punch to the head, flying out like a kite with a cut string.
He flew tens of thousands of zhang. When he stopped, his brows furrowed, his head dizzy and heavy as if filled with lead. His skull was covered in cracks!
That punch nearly shattered his body!
But the man in white was in worse shape!
Ye Xuan’s sword had struck the same wound, nearly cleaving his body in half. Though not fully severed, his internal organs were gravely damaged!
Seeing this, the Past Sect members’ faces darkened.
The man looked at Ye Xuan, “First time I’ve seen someone fight like this!”
Ye Xuan looked back, “One more round. You die, or I die?”
The man laughed, “Let’s find out!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “Let’s try!”
With that, he vanished.
