Following that, his two hands clamped and directly clasped the tip of the sword that followed closely after.
All of this happened in the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint; quick to the extreme.
In everyone’s eyes, it had not even started and already ended.
“It’s you? Really, Heaven has a path, but you refuse to walk; hell has no gate yet you want to barge inside! I spared your life, but you don’t know how to be grateful and instead went from bad to worse.”
Ye Yuan’s tone gradually turned cold.
This person in front of him was none other than precisely Han Xiao.
He went back and recuperated his injuries for more than a month before fully recovering.
But in his heart, the more he thought, the more he could not take this lying down. Hence, these few days, he guarded outside the cultivation room, planning to give Ye Yuan a fatal blow.
He felt that Ye Yuan being able to trample him with a kick was entirely due to his own negligence.
With his Third Firmament Celestial Deity cultivation, if he suddenly made a sneak attack, it was nigh impossible for Ye Yuan, a First Firmament Celestial Deity, to ward it off!
It was just a shame that he still miscalculated.
Han Xiao felt that his sneak attack was very perfect. But even under this kind of circumstances, he still failed.
He finally knew that that kick of Ye Yuan’s was not some sneak attack.
The other party’s strength was genuinely powerful!
He desperately wanted to pull his sword out. Ye Yuan’s fingers were like pincers, unable to budge at all.
“B-Brat, what do you want to do? I’m a member of the Han Family. If you dare to touch me, you’ll die very horribly!” When Han Xiao saw that he was not a match, he could only bring the Han Family out.
Ye Yuan said coolly, “Han Family? The Han Family’s people can be so overbearing and can act with utter disregard for human life like this? If you want to kill people, you need to have the readiness to be killed.”
Han Xiao’s gaze turned intent, directly abandoning the long sword, scampering away at once.
Ye Yuan laughed coldly and threw the long sword in his hand out.
Whoosh!
It was only to see a cold light flash passed him. Han Xiao’s heart directly had a hole pierced through.
“So strong! He broke through to become a Second Firmament Celestial Deity. Can Second Firmament Celestial Deities be so strong?”
“The sneak attack just now, even Fourth Firmament Celestial Deities will likely find it hard to ward it off when caught by surprise too right? This guy actually blocked it!”
…
The people outside naturally all knew that Han Xiao was planning to sneak attack. They thought that Ye Yuan was dead for sure and harbored the thoughts of watching the show.
But who knew that the one who died was not Ye Yuan, but Han Xiao!
However, Ye Yuan actually really dared to kill the Han Family’s people, this guy was really bold!
Amidst everyone’s shocked gazes, Ye Yuan walked out of the Essence Gathering Pagoda and walked over in the direction of the tavern.
After a few turns, Ye Yuan walked into a remote alley.
“Following all the way, does your esteem self still not plan on taking action?” Suddenly, Ye Yuan stopped and said coolly.
A gray-robed man slowly walked out of the void, holding a sword while standing.
This gray-robed man’s eyes were cold, the murderous aura on his body extremely strong. One look and it was clear that he was not a good guy.
“Brat, you’re very strong, to actually be able to discover my traces!” Iron Eagle said icily.
Ye Yuan pursed his mouth and said, “You came to kill me, don’t you know that I know spatial law? What are you parading your bit of skill in front of me for? If I didn’t guess wrongly, you’re sent here by the Leng Family, right?”
Iron Eagle’s eyes turned intent and he said, “You’re very clever. It’s just a pity that you’re going to become a dead man very soon!”
Chapter 1845. A Sword Crossing the Void |
Regarding this kind of words that brimmed with confidence, Ye Yuan had always turned his nose up at it. He just said coolly, “I should have warned him before not to come and provoke me!” His and Leng Xu’s enmity, I’m not interested at all. Me and Leng Xu are just chance acquaintances, that’s all.”Iron Eagle’s brows furrowed when he heard that and said with a cold smile, “You want to clean yourself up with one sentence? Chance acquaintances, you would kill the Black Smoke Twin Fiends, and even send Young Master Xu back to the manor? Do you know that you ruined Young Master Hao’s important matter?”
Ye Yuan did things based on his heart. It was just that this thing already happened, others naturally would not believe his explanation.
Killing the Black Smoke Twin Fiends was equivalent to declaring war on Leng Hao.
Ye Yuan shrugged and said, “They wanted to kill me. I shouldn’t just extend my head over for him to chop, right?”
Iron Eagle said in a solemn voice, “No need to explain anymore. No matter what you think, you have to die today!”
The moment Ye Yuan heard, he laughed.
“Is a Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity very impressive? Want to kill me, you can give it a try,” Ye Yuan said very calmly.
“Fool who doesn’t know what you’re talking about. Now, I’ll let you take a look at the disparity between initial-stage Celestial Deity Realm and middle-stage Celestial Deity Realm.”
Iron Eagle’s gaze turned dark, Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity’s world power gushed out frenziedly, enveloping the entire alley inside.
Although the intel was wrong; Ye Yuan already broke through to Second Firmament Celestial Deity, to him, Iron Eagle, it was the same.
The result was all death!
Iron Eagle took out a Thundergod Hammer, akin to a god descending to earth, directly swiping it at Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan was just about to make a move when his gaze suddenly turned intent, and he stopped.
When Iron Eagle saw the situation, a hint of a cruel smile flashed across the corners of his mouth. He thought that Ye Yuan saw his might and directly gave up resisting.
But right at this time, a figure suddenly showed up, blocking between the two people.
Rumble!
With a loud noise, Iron Eagle’s figure flying out backward.
“Y-Young Master Xu!” Iron Eagle’s face changed, not expecting to actually run into Leng Xu.
A hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Leng Xu’s mouth and he said, “My good big brother really can’t wait! Being brothers, it really chills my heart!”
Iron Eagle’s expression was very ugly. Clearly, his conversation with Ye Yuan just now, Leng Xu heard all of it.
“Y-Young Master Xu, you’re mistaken …”
Leng Xu flicked his sleeves grandly and said with a cold snort, “Enough! At this point, are you still going to explain yourself? Could it be that in your eyes, I’m an utter moron? Go back and tell your master, Ye Yuan is my friend. If he dares to touch a hair of his, I’ll never rest until he’s dead!”
Iron Eagle let out a sigh and was about to turn around and leave.
But right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up, “Don’t need to bring these words back anymore, you can stay behind!”
Iron Eagle was taken aback when he heard that and could not help laughing as he said, “Just the likes of you want to keep me behind too?”
Leng Xu also said, “Ye Yuan, very sorry, I don’t have the strength to make him stay! But you rest assured. This matter, I’ll definitely claim it back for you!’
Iron Eagle chuckled and said, “Young Master Xu’s words are said a little too conceitedly, right?”
Since they already lost all decorum, Iron Eagle was no longer apprehensive anymore too.
Either way, Leng Xu and Leng Hao were already like fire and water, this was something that eve
ryone knew.
It was just that in the past, everyone competed in the dark. But now, it became an assassination.
Leng Xu’s expression could not help changing when he heard that and actually did not say anything to refute.
Clearly, Leng Xu’s situation in the Leng Family was not too good.
“Ye Yuan, s-sorry, I’m useless!” Leng Xu said in shame.
Iron Eagle chuckled and said, “Kid, consider yourself lucky today. But next time, you won’t be so lucky.”
Ye Yuan said coolly, “No need for next time, I’ll give you this chance right now.”
“Ye Yuan …”
Leng Xu was just about to persuade him further, but then he heard Ye Yuan saying, “Brother Leng, you wait a moment. We’ll go and drink a hundred bowls again in a while!”
Iron Eagle could not help laughing loudly when he heard that and said, “Ignorant fool, since you’re taking the road to ruin yourself, then I’ll send you off.”
Finished talking, Iron Eagle’s aura released again, world power crushed over towards Ye Yuan.
On Ye Yuan’s body, blue fine lines spread out. A strange force isolated Iron Eagle’s world power.
“Wrath of the Thundergod!”
Iron Eagle’s Thundergod Hammer was raised high up. In the entire world domain, it was all berserk lightning and thunder, the momentum extremely shocking.
This lightning domain was akin to the furious roar of heaven and earth, making people’s faces change.
Ye Yuan stood inside but was like it had nothing to do with him.
He looked at Iron Eagle. He raised up his Frostcounter Sword slowly and said coolly, “Strength is decent. You indeed didn’t disappoint me! I recently comprehended a style of sword art. It’s just nice to test the sword on you.”
Iron Eagle laughed wildly to no end when he heard that and said, “Arrogant and ignorant young man, using me to test the sword is at the cost of your life! Go to hell!”
Iron Eagle waved the Thundergod Hammer, landing it towards Ye Yuan’s head.
For a moment, the lightning in the entire space gathered over towards Ye Yuan.
Seeing this scene, Leng Xu’s expression suddenly changed and he cried out in shock, “Careful!”
He was just about to make a move to help Ye Yuan, but heard Ye Yuan’s voice drift over: “Calm down, I’m fine.”
Right at this time, Ye Yuan moved as well!
“A Sword Crossing the Void!”
Leng Xu saw a blur before his eyes, Ye Yuan’s figure already vanished.
When he appeared again, he was already behind Iron Eagle.
Leng Xu’s expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed, “This … spatial shift! Laws fusion!”
How could Leng Xu not perceive that this sword of Ye Yuan’s fused spatial law and Sword Dao law? The commotion was not noticeable, but the power was extremely shocking.
That boundless lightning dissipated into nothing very quickly.
“This … How is this possible?”
Iron Eagle’s eyes were full of incredulity.
Then his body started collapsing.
Finally, it turned into nothingness.
Before dying, he seemed to have seen infinite fear.
This sword of Ye Yuan’s virtually annihilated the void, smashing his body into pieces.
After three years of enlightenment, Ye Yuan did not only comprehend the fourth firmament spatial law, but he also further fused the laws, creating ‘A Sword Crossing the Void.’
This sword art could be said to have gathered the grand achievements of Ye Yuan’s Martial Dao, unleashing the power of laws to the extreme.
Its power was unimaginable.
The moment this move was released, not only was it swift to the extreme, it could even instantly cut the void into countless pieces!
Leng Xu looked at that figure in the distance, shocked until he could not close his mouth.
Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity was practically an insurmountable high mountain to Third Firmament Celestial Deities.
But Ye Yuan just broke through to Second Firmament Celestial Deity and could actually directly kill a Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity.
This kind of strength was simply dreadful to the ears.
Especially that sword just now, it really took his breath away.
Although Leng Xu’s strength was stronger than Iron Eagle’s, this move, he touched his own heart and felt that he could not receive it!
Ye Yuan put away the sword and stood there. Coming before Leng Xu, he said with a smile, “Brother Leng, come. Let’s drink.”
Leng Xu was taken back and immediately laughed loudly and said, “Haha, okay! Today, I definitely won’t lose to you!”
Ye Yuan also laughed and said, “Just your bit of alcohol tolerance, it’s really not enough to fill the crevices between my teeth!”
The two laughed loudly and walked in the direction of the tavern.
Chapter 1846. Contesting for Young Patriarch |
“Come, I’ll toast you a glass. Thank you for your life-saving grace!” Leng Xu raised his head up and downed it in one go.Putting down the wine bowl, Leng Xu said with vicissitudes of emotion, “Drank until I was senseless that day. If not for you, I’d probably have croaked already. These few months, I was still muddling along without any aim, thinking of coming to find you to compete in drinking every day. But sadly, you never came again. If I didn’t happen to pass by today, I wouldn’t even know that I actually already went to the gates of hell and back!”
After Leng Xu woke up that day, he did not remember what happened in the alley at all.
But competing in drinking with Ye Yuan that day, it was still fresh in his memory.
For so long, it was still his first time encountering a guy who could bring him down.
Hence, he kept thinking about it and was going to find Ye Yuan again to compete in drinking.
Today, Leng Xu just happened to pass by, that was how he heard Iron Eagle’s words.
It was also precisely because of this that Leng Xu was even more moved in his heart.
Showing kindness without expecting repayment, Ye Yuan this friend, he was bent on making it!
If it were others, saving the Leng Family’s young patriarch, they would definitely think of ways to suck up to him. At the very least, they had to fish some benefits from the Leng Family too, but Ye Yuan did not.
From this, one could see Ye Yuan’s noble moral character.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “That day I sent you back to the Leng Manor, Leng Hao wanted to take me down indiscriminately. I wasn’t willing to intervene in your Leng Manor’s disputes and also just happened to reach the point of breakthrough. So I simply chose to enter closed-seclusion. It’s just that I didn’t expect that Leng Hao still wasn’t willing to let me off.”
Leng Xu smiled bitterly and said, “Leng Hao definitely thought that you were a helper that I invited. That’s why he would deal a fatal blow to you. In fact, it was all me who implicated you.”
Ye Yuan raised his glass and downed a bowl, saying with a smile, “I don’t like trouble, but I am not afraid of trouble too. However, what on earth is going on with your Leng Family?”
Leng Xu immediately downed a bowl himself when he heard that and said with a sigh, “Sigh, brothers fighting among ourselves, it already caused a huge scandal in the whole city. Truly disgraceful! Actually, I’m not inclined toward the position of the young patriarch at all. But to no avail, this big brother of mine is very persistent!”
It turned out that that day Leng Xu competing in drinking with Ye Yuan, he had a big quarrel with Leng Hao and was in a bad mood. That was why he came to the tavern to get drunk.
Leng Xu and Leng Hao, the two brothers were very close since young. Since young, Leng Hao also took extra care of Leng Xu.
These two people’s talents were both very strong, both leaders of the Leng Family’s young generation.
Except, there was one thing, Leng Hao was an adopted child. His stat
us in the Leng Family was far from Leng Xu’s.
Leng Xu was the son of the family head, furthermore, his talent was outstanding. His status in the Leng Family was extremely high.
Brothers being kind and loving to each other was originally something that everyone envied.
But sadly, a few years ago, the Leng Family’s family head, Leng Hongtian, was suddenly killed. The elders elected Leng Hongtian’s young brother, Leng Hongxiu, as the family head.
Leng Hongxiu had no sons, just a daughter.
This way, Leng Xu’s identity became awkward.
Leng Xu’s disposition was indifferent, his character unrestrained and carefree. He did not care about the identity of young patriarch at all.
But Leng Hao this person gradually changed.
Leng Hao became very calculating, roping in elders in the family clan, marginalizing Leng Xu.
But on the surface, the two people did not lose all decorum and were still a pair of close brothers.
Except, even though Leng Xu’s character was free and easy, he was not stupid.
Three months ago, Leng Hao found an excuse and exiled a very close uncle of Leng Xu out of the main family.
Leng Xu finally could not hold back. He got into a big fight with Leng Hao.
He also did not expect that Leng Hao would actually send people to assassinate him.
Although the Black Smoke Twin Fiends’ strengths were not strong, they were very clear about the ways of the Jianghu.
On that day, seeing Ye Yuan and Leng Xu compete in drinking, they knew that their chance had come.
Except, they did not think that Ye Yuan’s strength was actually so strong.
“Sigh, actually, I really don’t care about this position of young patriarch! I told Leng Hao before, I’d rather not be this young patriarch then be willing to have brothers turn against each other, but he doesn’t believe it at all! He doesn’t believe it at all! Hahaha …”
Leng Xu raised his head and drank a large bowl of wine, crystalline tears already welled up in his eyes.
Ye Yuan also sighed unceasingly after he heard it.
Once a person was reduced to a slave to authority, their entire person would undergo earth-shaking changes.
