Boastful!
The war general was somewhat speechless at this moment!
He had to admit, this young sword cultivator was far too flamboyant!
If not for the sword in his hand, the general would definitely have gone back on his word!
No, rather, he was already tempted to renege!
Because Ye Xuan was just too boastful!
He really wanted to give him a beating!
But he held back!
Though this young man was ostentatious, it was clear he had something to back it up!
And that was only natural!
To reach such a level at such a young age, with such a terrifying sword, how could he be ordinary?
He might well be the scion of some major power!
The war general sighed inwardly!
He felt like a tiger fallen to the plains, bullied by dogs. Back when the Ming Empire still stood, would he have cared about anyone’s backing?
He would have just fought!
But now, he had to be cautious!
In the distance, Ye Xuan wasted no more words. He directly collected the Ming Empire’s wealth!
Hundreds of millions of Shen’ge crystals!
He had to admit, he was filthy rich!
Ye Xuan smiled and turned to leave!
Nearby, Zhenyuan and the others didn’t dare to stop him.
Just then, a terrifying aura suddenly swept down from the sky, pressing toward Ye Xuan!
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, raised his hand, and slashed with his sword!
Swoosh!
The ancient aura shattered instantly!
Suddenly, the sky’s space-time split open, and a giant hand emerged, carrying a terrifying pressure as it descended.
Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm. He raised his hand and slashed again!
Swoosh!
A streak of sword light shot through the air!
Under everyone’s gaze, the giant hand was sliced in two, breaking into countless fragments that scattered across the heavens and earth!
At that moment, a black-robed old man slowly stepped out from the torn space-time!
The old man stared at Ye Xuan, “You have some nerve, daring to kill a member of our Haohan Sect…”
Before he could finish, Ye Xuan’s Qingxuan Sword suddenly vanished. The next moment, a sword broke through the air!
The old man’s pupils shrank. He instinctively raised his hand to block, but the moment he did, the Qingxuan Sword pierced his brow!
Boom!
Under the shocked gazes of the onlookers, the old man was pinned in place within the space-time!
Everyone froze!
The black-robed old man was stunned. He was a seventh-realm powerhouse, yet he couldn’t even withstand a single sword strike from this youth?
What the hell?
If he’d known, he wouldn’t have come!
The old man was filled with regret!
At that moment, Ye Xuan calmly said, “Where is the Haohan Sect? Point the way!”
The old man’s heart trembled, “You… what are you going to do?”
Ye Xuan slashed with two fingers.
Swoosh!
The old man was cut into countless pieces by a sword light!
Ye Xuan said calmly, “I told you to answer, not to ask!”
Everyone: “…”
Ye Xuan turned to Zhenyuan nearby, “Where is the Haohan Sect?”
Zhenyuan hesitated, then quickly pointed to the right, “A million miles that way is the Haohan Sect!”
A million miles!
Ye Xuan frowned!
A single sword strike wouldn’t destroy the Haohan Sect from that distance!
Too far!
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Alright!”
With that, he rose on his sword and vanished into the horizon!
He’d go there himself!
Seeing Ye Xuan disappear into the sky, Zhenyuan let out a sigh of relief!
Good thing he hadn’t stubbornly stood at the front!
In fact, when he and the old man came, he had been leading the way, but at the last moment, he stepped back, letting the Haohan Sect elder take the lead!
The facts proved his choice was right!
Otherwise, he might have been the one dead!
Just then, the war general suddenly walked toward the sky!
Zhenyuan glanced at him but said nothing.
Another big shot he couldn’t afford to provoke!
At that moment, the war general’s speed suddenly increased, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished into the starry sky!
Seeing this, Zhenyuan was stunned. The next moment, as if realizing something, his face changed dramatically, and he turned and disappeared into the starry sky.
The remaining powerhouses were utterly confused!
What was going on?
Suddenly, the sky split open, and a white light shot straight down.
As the white light descended, a terrifying aura swept through the area, instantly reducing the remaining powerhouses to nothingness!
Completely erased!
Everyone: “…”
The white light dissipated, revealing a woman in white. She slowly scanned the surroundings, and after a long while, she said coldly, “Able to break my Shen’ge Clan’s seal. Not bad!”
With that, she opened her palm and gently waved. Instantly, the surrounding space-time trembled. Moments later, images appeared in the space-time, replaying everything that had happened!
After a moment, the woman waved her sleeve, and the space-time returned to normal!
Her gaze was icy, “Sword cultivator!”
With that, she turned and vanished.
…
Haohan Sect.
When Ye Xuan arrived, more than a dozen powerful auras locked onto him!
Clearly, they already knew his intentions!
At that moment, the Haohan Sect’s leader, Mogu, appeared before Ye Xuan.
Mogu clasped his fists, “Young brother, it was just a misunderstanding earlier!”
Ye Xuan wasted no words, raising his hand and slashing down—not at Mogu, but at the Haohan Sect below!
With this strike, a ten-thousand-foot sword qi slashed down at incredible speed. Before Mogu could react, the Haohan Sect below was shattered by the sword!
Countless powerhouses were killed by this strike!
The entire Haohan Sect was destroyed in that moment!
Ye Xuan clasped his fists at Mogu, “My apologies, this was a misunderstanding!”
Mogu looked at Ye Xuan, “As long as you’re happy!”
With that, he turned and vanished into the depths of the starry sky!
He fled!
Ye Xuan was stunned!
This guy didn’t even fight and just ran?
He had to admit, he was a bit surprised!
The man had abandoned his sect and fled!
Ye Xuan was speechless. Why didn’t enemies these days have any backbone?
He had to admit, he kind of missed Tian Ye!
That guy was bold enough to fight when it came down to it!
Without wasting time, Ye Xuan turned and left.
Shortly after Ye Xuan left, Mogu reappeared, looking at Ye Xuan’s departing figure with an extremely grim expression!
The Haohan Sect had been destroyed by this guy!
At that moment, some Haohan Sect powerhouses appeared.
Looking at the distant horizon, their faces were grim, some even radiating ferocious killing intent!
An elder said gravely, “Sect Leader, this kid has gone too far. Are we just going to let him go?”
Mogu said calmly, “Could you withstand that sword?”
The elder said, “I couldn’t, but Sect Leader, you could try!”
Mogu glanced at the elder, “If I die, you’ll take my place, right?”
The elder quickly said, “I wouldn’t dare!”
Mogu gave the elder a cold look, “That sword strike— even a ninth-realm powerhouse wouldn’t be fully confident in blocking it!”
In truth, he wasn’t a true ninth-realm powerhouse. He had reached the ninth realm through external means, with an unstable foundation, so he was weaker than true ninth-realm powerhouses!
That sword strike earlier? He had no confidence in blocking it!
So, he decisively chose to leave!
At that moment, a middle-aged man suddenly said, “That sword strike was his. It turned millions of miles of star field to nothingness… His strength is even greater than we expected!”
Mogu nodded, “We don’t know where this guy came from, but his strength is terrifying!”
He sighed softly, “This time, we’ve hit a wall!”
The middle-aged man nodded slightly, “We can only swallow this loss! But…”
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, “This guy got the Ming Empire’s wealth! That’s an enormous fortune! So…”
Mogu said, “Borrow a knife to kill?”
The middle-aged man nodded, “Actually, we don’t even need to borrow a knife! The news of him getting the Ming Empire’s wealth has probably spread across the Desolate Battlefield. Those wolfmen in the south won’t let him go! A ruthless person needs an even more ruthless one to deal with him! Let them fight it out!”
Mogu nodded, “That’s our only option!”
With that, he sighed inwardly and turned to leave.
In the path of cultivation, you never know whether tomorrow or disaster will come first!
One wrong step could lead to eternal ruin!
…
After leaving the Haohan Sect, Ye Xuan found a quiet place and entered the small pagoda.
Looking at the dense pile of Shen’ge crystals, a smile crept onto his face!
Shen’ge crystals!
He had to admit, these were the purest energy crystals he’d ever seen!
Truly top-tier!
Cultivation required not just talent but resources!
With these Shen’ge crystals, he could cultivate the folding technique again!
Just then, Ye Xuan frowned and vanished from the spot!
When he reappeared, he was in the starry sky. Not far ahead stood a… not a human-demon, but a demon-human!
A human body with a wolf’s head!
This demon-human had a human body but a wolf’s head, with sharp claws on its hands, glinting with a cold chill!
Ye Xuan sized up the demon-human and said, “Something up?”
The demon-human licked its lips, grinning ferociously, “I heard you got the Ming Empire’s wealth. Is that true?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “It’s true! A lot of Shen’ge crystals. So what?”
The demon-human stared at Ye Xuan, its eyes brimming with unmasked greed, “Can you lend some to my wolfman clan? The kind we don’t pay back!”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “No way!”
The demon-human grinned, and the next moment, it lunged at Ye Xuan. Its speed surged, reaching him in an instant. But Ye Xuan was faster. As it reached him, the Qingxuan Sword pierced its brow!
Boom!
The demon-human was pinned in place!
Ye Xuan glanced at the wolfman clan powerhouses standing in the distance, “Is he always this brave?”
One of the wolfmen looked at Ye Xuan, “He’s always been this brave. When there’s trouble, he really goes for it! This is his first time dying!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
