The furious curses from the Liuyun Kingdom contingent only made Zhou Liang and his n more smug, and their obscene laughter echoed through the mountain forest.
"Those bastards."
Several miles away in the forest, Ye Xuan’s Soul Power perceived everything, and his eyes instantly turned ice-cold.
’Those Profound Mystery Sect bastards are nothing but animals. Invading another’s territory to plunder their resources and wantonly slaughtering their Martial Artists...’ Such actions had thoroughly enraged Ye Xuan.
Moreover, Ye Xuan knew that the Profound Mystery Sect was targeting the Liuyun Kingdom entirely because of him. If not for him, the sect wouldn’t have targeted the Liuyun Kingdom first.
In a way, he was the one who had brought this disaster upon the people of Liuyun Kingdom.
’These bastards... they all must die.’ Ye Xuan’s eyes were cold, his fists clenched tightly as he pushed his speed to the absolute limit.
Within the dense forest, Dongfang Yanyu and the others were finding their resistance growing increasingly feeble.
"I found it!"
Kuchen suddenly shouted, excitedly pointing at an empty space ahead. "There! That should be the weakest point of this Six-Blade Illusionary Killing Array—the eye of the Array! If we attack there, we can definitely destabilize its operation and destroy its internal structure!"
As he spoke, he began to frantically attack that very spot.
Ordinarily, his own skill with Arrays would have been nowhere near enough to find the eye of the Six-Blade Illusionary Killing Array. But after spending so much ti with Ye Xuan, he had learned many of the principles common to high-level Arrays. Combining that with so of the thods Ye Xuan had taught him, he was finally able to find a slight flaw in the Array.
Sure enough, as his attack landed, the entire Array began to tremble faintly, showing signs of instability.
Dongfang Yanyu and the others’ eyes lit up. While frantically defending against the white beams of light, they also launched their own attacks at the eye of the Array.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Amidst the violent explosions, the entire Array shook violently, and even the white beams of light from the killing array weakened.
The n from the Profound Mystery Sect watched this, utterly dumbfounded. They never imagined that this bunch of country bumpkins from the Thirteen Nations Alliance would actually find the eye of their Array.
If they continued to maintain the Array, the Six-Blade Illusionary Killing Array they had brought from the sect might very well be destroyed by this group of hicks.
However, their shock lasted only for a mont. Ferocious sneers soon appeared on their faces. With a wave of their hands, array flags materialized in a hazy glow of light, and they instantly retrieved them into their Storage Rings.
’They’re taking down the Array?’
The people of Liuyun Kingdom, who were in the middle of their frenzied attack, were all montarily stunned.
"Heh heh, to think one of you could actually break the Six-Blade Illusionary Killing Array we set up. But so what if you did? Do any of you have any strength left to resist?"
Xu Liang and his n sneered and lunged forward.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Under the powerful attacks, Dongfang Yanyu, Chu Yunfei, and the others were all sent flying backward, coughing up mouthfuls of blood.
Ordinarily, Chu Yunfei and the others, who had reached Tier Five Peak, were no weaker than Xu Liang’s group. But after being trapped in the Array, Chu Yunfei had sustained heavy injuries protecting the other disciples. How could he possibly withstand Xu Liang’s assault now?
As for the remaining elders and disciples, it was even worse. A single sweep of a palm sent a large swath of them to the ground, spitting blood. It felt as if their internal organs had been violently rearranged, and they couldn’t muster even a sliver of Profound Power.
"Heh heh." After dealing with them, Xu Liang turned toward Yun Aoxue with a predatory grin.
"What do you think you’re doing?" Yun Aoxue demanded furiously, her gaze like ice.
She too had been injured in the previous battle; her expression was listless, and she was unable to gather her Profound Power.
Xu Liang and his n leered at Yun Aoxue. "What do you think we want to do?" he sneered.
Though the brutal battle had left her clothes disheveled, her body covered in dust, and her face smudged with dirt, none of it could conceal the exquisite curves beneath her robes, nor her delicate beauty and cold, noble air.
"Get lost!"
Yun Aoxue spat a mouthful of bloody saliva, her eyes filled with contempt for Xu Liang.
"Ooh, still so fiery, are we? Heh heh, I like it." Xu Liang and his n sneered, slowly closing in.
Facing Xu Liang and his n, who were like a pack of wolves, Yun Aoxue seed utterly helpless—a lamb to the slaughter.
Her gaze was cold. ’If they dare lay a single finger on ,’ she thought, ’I’ll cripple them, even if it kills . And even if I can’t hurt them, I will never let them touch a single hair on my head.’
Yun Aoxue’s icy, murderous glare startled Xu Liang, making him take an involuntary step back. He imdiately flew into a rage out of humiliation. "Dammit, I’ve killed countless people! You think a woman like you can scare ? It took this long and cost so many Profound Stones to take you all down. I’m going to have my fun first!"
With that, he stalked forward nacingly.
"You animals, stop!" Chu Yunfei and the others roared, their voices hoarse.
"Hmph." Xu Liang shot them a cold glance and sneered, "You should be thanking her. If I wasn’t about to put on a live show for you, I would’ve killed every last one of you already. Now, all of you are going to watch and enjoy, heh heh heh."
"You beast!" Chu Yunfei and the others roared, their eyes bloodshot with rage, looking as if they would tear apart from sheer fury.
Yun Aoxue no longer heard the furious roars of Chu Yunfei and the others. A single tear rolled down from the corner of her eye. ’Ye Xuan, I’m going on ahead. You must live and avenge .’ Her only regret was that Ye Xuan couldn’t be with her before she died.
Just as she was about to gather the last of her strength to detonate her Dantian, the sound of sothing slicing through the air went SWISH SWISH SWISH! Several streaks of light, imbued with imnse power, shot in from the distance, aid directly at Xu Liang.
"Who’s there?!"
Although Xu Liang’s attention was focused entirely on Yun Aoxue, a powerful warrior’s instinct allowed him to react in a flash. Without a second thought, the battle saber at his waist was unsheathed and blocking in front of him.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Amidst the crisp ringing of tal, Xu Liang was sent flying backward in a sorry state, the powerful impact leaving his arm numb.
WHOOSH!
A figure appeared at Yun Aoxue’s side in that sa instant, gently embracing her. "Aoxue, I’m sorry. I’m late."
At that mont, everyone looked up, their gazes fixed on the young man who had suddenly appeared.
It was none other than Ye Xuan.
His tone was calm, but the fury in his heart raged like a wildfire that could not be extinguished.
"Ye Xuan, what are you doing here? Go! Get out of here, quickly!" Chu Yunfei and the others cried out anxiously.
His appearance was the one thing they had feared most. The fact that he was here alone ant he had escaped the pursuit of the Profound Mystery Sect’s Elder Gale, but coming here... wasn’t that just walking right into a trap?
Held in Ye Xuan’s arms, Yun Aoxue’s tears flowed uncontrollably. Hearing Chu Yunfei’s desperate cries, she snapped back to reality and said anxiously, "Ye Xuan, you have to go! These Profound Mystery Sect n are worse than animals! If you stay here, they’ll kill you!"
"Don’t worry. Now that I’m here, you’re all safe," Ye Xuan said, shaking his head. He slowly stood up and addressed everyone. "These animals who dared to offend the honor of our Liuyun Kingdom... today, every single one of them will die."
Ye Xuan was not particularly tall, and his build was even a bit slender, but at this mont, the sight of his back seed to grow incredibly broad in everyone’s eyes—a figure they could only look up to in awe.
"Hahaha, has this kid lost his mind?" Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Xu Liang and his n burst into laughter, almost unable to close their mouths.
A re Tier Four Celestial Martial Artist was claiming he would kill them all? Had this guy been kicked in the head by a donkey?
"You little brat, you think you’re so great for escaping Elder Gale’s pursuit? Perfect. We’ll capture you here. Elder Gale will surely reward us for it," Xu Liang said coldly.
He had no idea that Ye Xuan had only co here after killing Elder Gale; he still thought Ye Xuan had rely escaped his pursuit.
"Deacons, allow to take care of this brat," Zhou Liang said with a sneer, stepping forward.
He was still bitter about his loss to Ye Xuan at the Floating Light Assembly and had long wanted to teach him a lesson. Now, he couldn’t hold back and eagerly volunteered.
"Fine, he’s all yours. Just be careful."
Xu Liang sneered, but recalling Ye Xuan’s skill with hidden weapons, he added a word of caution.
"Don’t worry, he’s just a piece of trash. Watch how I slaughter him," Zhou Liang said with a cold laugh as he stepped forward.
Rembering the strength Ye Xuan had shown in the Floating Light Secret Realm, Zhou Liang held nothing back. He channeled his Tier Four Peak Profound Power to its limit and struck out with a Great Annihilation Life and Death Hand.
A dense killing intent erupted from Zhou Liang’s palm, forming a black palm silhouette.
The Great Annihilation Life and Death Hand was a famous Palm Skill from the Profound Mystery Sect. It was a Celestial Grade martial technique, extrely difficult to master, but its power was astounding once learned. The life-and-death qi it contained could swiftly annihilate an opponent’s Profound Veins and Profound Sea, instantly stripping them of their life—hence the na, Great Annihilation Life and Death Hand.
In Zhou Liang’s eyes, a re disciple from the Thirteen Nations Alliance was still not worth ntioning, even if Ye Xuan had managed to defeat two Tier Four Peak Celestial Martial Artists, Ge Lihui and Tai Xin, in the Floating Light Secret Realm.
Just as the palm silhouette was about to strike him, a cold light flashed in the eyes of Ye Xuan, who had remained motionless the entire ti.
"Seeing you act like a coward hiding in your shell back in the Floating Light Secret Realm, I thought you were a little smarter than Luan Hong and the others. It seems I was wrong. Now, you can go join them in hell."
The cold words left Ye Xuan’s lips as he suddenly thrust out a palm.
"North Nether Profound Skill—Kun Palm!"
Seeing the cold gleam in Ye Xuan’s eyes, Zhou Liang’s eyelid twitched, and a sliver of unease and fear rose in his heart.
’What does he an by that? Could it be that Luan Hong and the other two were killed by him?’
