Ye Tian and his companion clearly heard the Eldest Prince's voice. They were tempted to stop and see his frustrated, furious expression, but they held back.
As soon as the Eldest Prince's voice faded, seven or eight figures shot into the sky. Of course, they weren't all the Eldest Prince's n; others from the VIP rooms had joined in, all wanting the items Ye Tian had won at the auction.
Dozens more sped along the ground below. In total, there were fifty to sixty people. It was clear that quite a few had their eyes on the pair. If they were surrounded, escaping unscathed would be extrely difficult. Taking to the air had been the wisest decision.
Ye Tian and Zhang Xinlan weren't flying very fast, mainly because they were afraid their pursuers would lose them. They maintained a distance of just over a mile for about an hour.
"There are so high peaks ahead. It'll be hard for the ones who can't fly to catch up," Ye Tian said. "How about we deal with them on one of the summits? I'd like to see exactly who wants us dead!"
The pair soon landed on the highest summit. Strangely, the peak was a flat plateau, several miles across. It was the perfect place to deal with their pursuers.
Ye Tian and his companion sat on a large boulder, waiting. Within monts, their pursuers arrived, moving with incredible speed.
"Run! Why aren't you running anymore?" a young man sneered arrogantly at the pair. "Daring to oppose is a death wish! If you want a quick death, hand over the items from the auction. Otherwise, you will die a most miserable death!"
"You must be that so-called 'Eldest Prince,' right?" Ye Tian said after glancing at him. "Are you out of your mind? We should be the ones saying that to you! Scram if you don't want to die. You really think we're afraid of you? To be honest, I think this is a fine place for a burial. That's why I picked it out especially for you!"
"Insolence!" The Eldest Prince's face turned livid with rage, his eyes practically shooting fire. "How dare you speak to like that! Brat, I'll make sure you die a miserable death today!"
"I may be afraid of many things, but death isn't one of them," Ye Tian laughed, his expression showing he couldn't care less about the Eldest Prince. "The only question is, who's going to die first? You or ? But I've found that anyone who wants dead usually dies before I do. Feel free to test that theory if you don't believe !"
"Everyone, attack! Kill them both!" the Eldest Prince roared. "I only want the Soul dicine! I don't want the Spirit Stones or any of the other auction items! Today, I'm going to see what gives this brat the right to be so arrogant!"
The few who had flown up quickly surrounded Ye Tian and his companion. "Eldest Prince, you said it yourself," one of them declared. "Don't go back on your word later!"
"My word is my bond!" the Eldest Prince said. "But if you let these two escape, don't bla for being rciless!"
"Why worry, Eldest Prince?" an old man bood. "They're just a couple of wet-behind-the-ears juniors. Why give them a second thought? You think all of us can't kill just two people? To be blunt, their Power Realm is at most Early Five Veins. I could kill them both easily by myself!"
"Excellent. In that case, I'll leave it to you, Elder Hu. We'll all be watching," the Eldest Prince said with a smile. He knew this Elder Hu well. The man was incredibly arrogant and loved to show off his strength. Naturally, he would want to put on a display for everyone.
"Fine! Let's see what gives these two brats the courage to spout such nonsense!" Elder Hu declared, a fiery red Longsword materializing in his hand.
"Big Brother, let ," Zhang Xinlan said with a smile to Ye Tian, a silver Longsword already in her hand. "Why should you have to deal with an ant like this?"
"Heh heh, little girl. Eager to be the first to die, are you? Then I shall grant your wish," said Elder Hu. "I don't care if you're a woman—I'll kill you all the sa. I was never one to go easy on the fairer sex!"
Zhang Xinlan rolled her eyes at the old man and slowly raised her Longsword. With a flash, her figure vanished. In the next instant, a silver gleam appeared right in front of the elder.
It happened so fast—in the blink of an eye. Everyone present was an expert, yet not a single person saw how Zhang Xinlan executed her strike.
A mont later, Zhang Xinlan was back where she started, crimson blood dripping from her Longsword. She chuckled softly. "So fragile, yet you wanted to kill ? You really overestimated yourself."
Only after hearing Zhang Xinlan's words did the crowd look toward the elder, whose surna was Hu. A spray of blood erupted from his torso as his body slowly toppled over. As it fell, it split in two. He was deader than dead.
His eyes, however, were wide open, as if he couldn't believe he'd been slain in a single blow. He died with a look of utter disbelief.
Everyone was stunned that Zhang Xinlan had killed Elder Hu in a single move. They had never witnessed such terrifying Attack Power. Elder Hu, after all, was at the Mid-Five Veins Realm. While not the strongest among them, he was still a formidable expert.
Yet, such an expert had been slain in a single strike by an unknown woman. Everyone was utterly and completely shocked.
"What terrifying Attack Power! Who in the world is she?" a middle-aged man finally blurted out after a long pause. His face was pale. It would be a lie to say he felt no fear in the face of such a powerful opponent.
The Eldest Prince was also dumbstruck. He never would have dread the woman possessed such terrifying strength. This was sothing only an expert at the Six Veins Power Realm could accomplish! No one here had reached the Six Veins Realm; they were no match for her. It looked like their odds of survival were slim.
At this thought, beads of sweat ford on the Eldest Prince's forehead. For a mont, nobody knew what to do.
Ye Tian took in their expressions with perfect clarity. "Didn't you want to kill us? Didn't you want our auctioned items? Didn't you want our Spirit Stones? Then co on, kill us!"
Perhaps Ye Tian's taunts stoked the hatred in the Eldest Prince's heart, allowing it to overco his fear. He shouted, "Everyone, attack together! I refuse to believe they can kill all of us! That bitch only killed Elder Hu because she struck first. She was just trying to intimidate us, to make us afraid.
Maybe that's her only trick! In a real fight, I'm sure none of us are any weaker than she is. We're all in the sa boat now, so we have to work together to deal with them. They might be strong, but we have numbers on our side. We have nothing to fear.
Besides, more of our n are on their way. Even if we have to, we can just wear them down until they're dead!"
