Soon, Ye Xuan and An Lanxiu arrived before that stretch of cemetery. At a glance, there were tens of thousands of graves, utterly desolate.
Ye Xuan glanced around, then said softly, “Powerhouses who died in battle for the Xu True World…”
An Lanxiu nodded slightly. “The battles between the Xu True World’s powerhouses and those whatever spirits back then must have been extremely fierce!”
Ye Xuan nodded.
The two walked deeper into the cemetery.
Along the way, he noticed that some tombstones bore names, but far more were nameless.
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. What exactly happened on the Xu True Path all those years ago?
Just then, footsteps suddenly sounded nearby.
Ye Xuan turned to look. Not far away, an old man emerged. The old man wore a grey robe and held a walking stick. He had very little hair, just a few strands.
The old man glanced at Ye Xuan and said in a sinister tone, “From the lower realms?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
The old man gave a creepy laugh, his smile rather eerie.
Ye Xuan frowned. Damn it, this kind of person deserved a beating the most!
The old man sized up Ye Xuan and An Lanxiu. Finally, his gaze landed on An Lanxiu. He looked her over and grinned. “You are really good-looking!”
An Lanxiu’s brows furrowed slightly. Her long spear suddenly flew out.
However, Ye Xuan’s sword was faster!
Chi!
A strand of sword light suddenly arrived before the old man!
The old man’s eyes narrowed. He tapped forward with his walking stick.
Boom!
An expanse of sword light erupted violently. The old man was forced back repeatedly. While retreating, a long spear suddenly shot towards him.
The old man’s pupils contracted. With a roar, he smashed his walking stick downward.
Boom!
With a deafening explosion, the old man was instantly blasted away. While flying, another sword light suddenly slashed towards him!
Boom!
In an instant, the old man was sent flying even further!
At that moment, countless Mortal Swords suddenly arrived. At the same time, the long spear shot forth once more.
Boom!
Space and time shattered. The old man flew tens of thousands of zhang away. As soon as he stopped, a sword pierced through his forehead. At the same time, the long spear stabbed into his abdomen.
The old man’s eyes widened in disbelief!
At that moment, Ye Xuan appeared before him. Just as the old man was about to speak, Ye Xuan slashed out!
Chi!
The old man’s head flew off!
The Qingxuan Sword immediately absorbed the old man’s soul!
Ye Xuan spread his palm. The old man’s storage ring flew into his hand. He glanced inside. There were over a hundred million Xu True Crystals!
Over a hundred million!
Ye Xuan looked at the old man and shook his head. “This old geezer saved up for a long time!”
An Lanxiu’s expression remained calm as she retracted her spear.
Now that she and Ye Xuan fought together, very few could stand against them.
“Impressive!”
Just then, a sinister laugh came from not far behind them.
Ye Xuan and An Lanxiu turned. Not far away, a middle-aged man walked out. He wore luxurious robes and kept his right hand behind his back.
Ye Xuan glanced at the middle-aged man but said nothing.
The middle-aged man smiled. “One sword cultivator, one martial god. Interesting!”
With that, he suddenly vanished!
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. The Qingxuan Sword flew from its sheath.
Chi!
A strand of sword light shot forth.
The middle-aged man reached out and grabbed. With that grab, he actually caught Ye Xuan’s Qingxuan Sword bare-handed. The next moment, he exerted force with his right hand, trying to snap the Qingxuan Sword!
Boom!
The Qingxuan Sword trembled violently but remained undamaged!
Seeing this, the middle-aged man froze!
At that moment, a long spear had already arrived before him.
The middle-aged man’s eyes narrowed. He sidestepped, dodging the spear. Just then, countless Mortal Swords arrived before him.
A cold glint flashed in the middle-aged man’s eyes. He pressed forward fiercely with his right hand.
Boom!
A terrifying force suddenly erupted before him. In an instant, Ye Xuan and An Lanxiu were forced back a thousand zhang.
After stopping, Ye Xuan spread his palm. In an instant, countless strands of Mortal Sword Intent surged from his palm.
Buzzz!
Sword hums resounded continuously all around!
The middle-aged man looked at Ye Xuan. His right hand slowly clenched. Suddenly, he turned into a streak of light and vanished!
In the distance, Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. He gripped tightly with his right hand. All Mortal Swords suddenly converged into the Qingxuan Sword. Then he stepped forward and slashed downward fiercely.
Chi!
A sword light slashed down!
Boom!
A terrifying force suddenly erupted before Ye Xuan. In an instant, the middle-aged man was blasted away.
At that moment, a ferocious glint flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes. He rushed forward. A sword light instantly arrived before the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man suddenly clenched both hands tightly. In an instant, a terrifying black light surged violently from his body!
Boom!
That sword light was forcibly blocked!
Just then, a long spear suddenly arrived!
Boom!
The middle-aged man was blasted tens of thousands of zhang away!
The instant he flew out, a sword shot forth and pierced his forehead!
Boom!
The middle-aged man was nailed in place!
Ye Xuan looked coldly at him. “I hate it most when people act pretentious in front of me!”
Yet the middle-aged man was laughing.
Ye Xuan frowned. “What are you laughing at?”
The middle-aged man grinned. “You cannot kill me!”
Ye Xuan stared at him. “You are a god spirit!”
The middle-aged man laughed loudly. “You are not that stupid after all!”
Ye Xuan’s mind moved. A strand of sword light suddenly erupted from within the middle-aged man!
Boom!
His physical body exploded, leaving only his soul. However, his soul remained pinned by the Qingxuan Sword!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s face darkened.
Such powerful force had failed to shatter the opponent’s soul!
The middle-aged man sneered. “Continue!”
Ye Xuan’s mind moved. The Qingxuan Sword turned into countless sword lights that sliced the soul to pieces. But the next moment, the soul fragments began reassembling automatically. In the blink of an eye, it was restored!
The middle-aged man burst into laughter!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan frowned again!
Nearby, An Lanxiu said in a deep voice, “We cannot erase his soul!”
Ye Xuan nodded. He discovered that while his sword could shatter this middle-aged man’s soul, it could not completely erase it. As long as the soul was not fully erased, the opponent could regenerate!
Truly perverted!
Ye Xuan sighed inwardly. “Little Tower, Little Pen, you always say I cheat. Look at this guy. Even like this! Would it be too much if I cheated a little?”
Little Tower: “…”
Little Pen: “…”
Just then, the middle-aged man in the distance suddenly laughed wildly, extremely arrogantly.
At that moment, Ye Xuan’s mind moved. The Qingxuan Sword trembled violently. In an instant, the man’s soul began turning illusory!
Devouring!
Seeing this, the middle-aged man froze. The next moment, he cried out in horror, “Why can this sword devour my soul? This is impossible! This violates the divine laws…”
Ye Xuan was delighted!
The Qingxuan Sword could actually devour this fellow’s soul!
Cannot destroy!
But can devour!
Awesome!
As the soul grew increasingly illusory, the middle-aged man cried in fear, “This is impossible. This cannot break the divine laws…”
Ye Xuan said indifferently, “What divine laws? Qing’er’s laws are the most badass!”
The middle-aged man roared, “Under the divine laws, we are immortal!”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “Keep bragging!”
The middle-aged man: “…”
