Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Executing the Patriarch

HUMMM!

The might of that single punch was tyrannical, making the very void tremble from its impact!

Everyone was stunned. Who would have thought that a Patriarch would be so shameless as to launch a sneak attack, striking Ye Xuan the moment his guard was down?

"Shameless!"

Uttering that single, cold word, Ye Wushuang moved like the wind. A frigid Saber Will blossomed in the void. The crowd felt as if they were in a world of blades, sensing a tyrannical and peerless killing intent.

Get back!

Ye Wushuang roared, raising the Fierce Lion Battle Saber to the sky. It erupted in a brilliant blaze, its raging flames like the Blade of the Fire God, searing the very Firmament.

With a single stride, he jerked his arm and brought it cleaving down. A seven-to-eight-meter-long Flame Giant Saber descended upon Ouyang Badao like a curtain of fire.

"Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll be happy to oblige!" Seeing Ye Wushuang blocking his path, Ouyang Badao’s eyes grew sinister and his killing intent flared. Rings of energy flooded into his fist as he punched toward the Flame Giant Saber.

However, in the next second, he froze. To his astonishment, the incomparably mighty Flame Giant Saber flashed for an instant, then seemed to dive into the void and vanish without a trace.

The crowd stared, dumbfounded!

’An attack that powerful just vanished? How bizarre!’

Seizing the opportunity, a vicious light flashed in Ouyang Badao’s eyes. His Fist Seal blew a hole in the void as he lunged for Ye Wushuang.

In response, Ye Wushuang merely smiled coldly.

WHOOSH!

The Flame Giant Saber that had disappeared abruptly flickered back into view!

The crowd gasped. "How is that possible? It’s back! What kind of bizarre attack is this?!"

At the same time, an intense sense of mortal danger washed over Ouyang Badao. The Flame Giant Saber had reappeared in an instant, right in front of him.

The terrifying punch Ouyang Badao had been preparing could now only be used to block the saber. If he didn’t, he would be dead long before he could ever kill Ye Wushuang.

BOOM!

A massive fist shot forward, shattering the Flame Giant Saber with a single explosive punch!

"Die!"

In the next instant, Ouyang Badao formed another fist and lunged at Ye Wushuang, intent on murder.

"Ouyang Badao, you dare!"

Ye Xuan roared in fury. He took a forceful step, treading on the air itself as he charged Ouyang Badao. The terrifying power of the True Essence Seventh Layer burst forth, unleashing a tidal wave of True Essence!

Ouyang Badao’s face fell, and he immediately began a hasty retreat.

"You think you can escape?!"

Ye Xuan was impassive. He threw out punch after punch, filling the sky with a deluge of fist shadows that rained down from above. The terrifying shockwaves sent the crowd in the grand plaza scrambling for safety.

Ouyang Badao’s expression was one of sheer terror. He was only at the True Essence Third Layer; how could he possibly be a match for someone at the True Essence Seventh Layer? This was Ye Xuan’s all-out assault—more than enough to annihilate him.

Now, he was truly afraid.

"Ye Xuan, I was just kidding! Don’t take it seriously!" As he spoke, Ouyang Badao pushed his speed to its absolute limit, desperately fleeing the grand plaza.

BANG!

BANG!

Behind him, massive fists glowing with boundless True Essence slammed into the ground. The earth trembled as if it were being torn asunder, a dense network of spiderweb cracks spreading across its surface.

BOOM!

No matter how fast Ouyang Badao fled, he could not escape. With a final BANG, his body was blasted apart by a single punch, splattering blood and viscera everywhere. A Patriarch of his generation had been utterly annihilated.

The sight struck terror into the hearts of the onlookers, and they trembled in fear.

Ye Xuan’s strength was simply too terrifying!

With this display of power, everyone now understood that Ye Xuan was, without a doubt, the number one expert in Blood Jade City.

Then, their gazes shifted back to the figure in white, who now seemed like a giant, instilling in them a profound sense of powerlessness.

The father was immeasurably strong!

And the son was even more heaven-defyingly talented!

From this day forward, Blood Jade City would no longer have the "Ye Waste" everyone had scorned and mocked. With his own actions, Ye Wushuang had proven to them all that no one is born useless.

From now on, the "waste" they had ridiculed for years would become a household legend.

This day was destined for glory—a glory belonging to this father and son alone.

Watching the father and son in the center of the grand plaza, every member of the Ye Family fell silent. In that moment, a look of apology appeared in their eyes, along with a newfound respect.

They knew in their hearts that the Ye Family was on the path to ascension, and it was all because of this father-son duo.

"Ye Xuan, I won’t concede!"

Ye Xiong shot Ye Xuan a deep, meaningful look before abruptly turning to leave.

Seeing the looks from the Elders, he knew that staying in the Ye Family would only make him a laughingstock. But he wouldn’t give up. The Ye father and son had never conceded to anyone, and neither would he!

"Let’s go!"

Luo Xun shot the father-son duo a venomous glare, then fearfully turned to lead the Luo Family away.

"You think you can just leave?"

But Ye Xuan’s cold voice suddenly rang out, echoing across the plaza.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

’Could he be planning to use this opportunity to wipe out the Luo Family and become the sole ruler of Blood Jade City?’

Hearing this, the members of the Luo Family felt their hearts tremble.

"Ye Xuan, the Luo Family didn’t make a move just now. Are you really planning to wipe us out?" Luo Xun’s expression was savage and his face grim, but a hint of fear flickered in his eyes.

He was genuinely terrified that Ye Xuan would seize this chance to annihilate the Luo Family.

Ye Xuan said, "Rest assured, I won’t harm the Luo Family."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Luo Family breathed a sigh of relief. But Ye Xuan’s next sentence sent them into a rage.

Ye Xuan stared coldly at Luo Xun and said, "However, from this day forward, I never want to see the Luo Family in Blood Jade City again."

Suppressing his towering rage, Luo Xun asked in a low voice, "Ye Xuan, are you banishing the Luo Family from Blood Jade City?"

"I’ll give the Luo Family three days. Get out of Blood Jade City. If you don’t, then I will act myself." Ye Xuan didn’t bother to explain further. His words were absolute. If they didn’t leave, he would take action, and the Luo Family would be annihilated.

’The three great families of Blood Jade City... which of them didn’t want to devour the others and rule alone? The Luo Family, in particular, had been dead set on destroying the Ye Family. How could I possibly let them off so easily?’

"Good! Good! Good!" Luo Xun laughed, his voice laced with fury. He repeated the word three times before continuing, "Fine, Ye Xuan. The Luo Family will leave Blood Jade City. From now on, your Ye Family will be the city’s sole ruling family."

After spitting out those resentful words, Luo Xun turned and led the Luo Family away. They couldn’t hope to stand against Ye Xuan, an expert at the True Essence Seventh Layer. Their only option was to leave.

The crowd watched in silence. It was only now that they truly understood: only the strong have the right to speak.

Because Ye Xuan had broken through to the True Essence Seventh Layer, even a power like the Luo Family had to retreat from Blood Jade City, all because of a single command: "Get out."

Seeing that Ye Xuan chose to banish the Luo Family rather than destroy them, Ye Xiao stepped forward anxiously. "Big Brother, letting a tiger return to the mountains is just asking for trouble later!"

At the same time, the Fifth Elder and the other Elders behind him stepped forward as well. "Patriarch, we can’t let them go!"

They were certain that if their roles were reversed, Luo Xun would have annihilated the Ye Family without a second thought—he would have been ruthless enough to slaughter every last one of them, tearing them out root and stem.

"What’s so bad about asking for trouble later?" Ye Wushuang turned around and said calmly, "To rise, one needs an opponent, a crisis to serve as a catalyst. If the Ye Family doesn’t have an enemy, we will grow complacent and stagnant. Where will the pressure come from then? What will be our motivation?"

Ye Xuan turned to look at Ye Wushuang and laughed. "As expected of my son, you understand my thinking perfectly!"

Everyone’s eyes lit up as they understood Ye Wushuang’s meaning. ’Nurturing an enemy to create pressure will force the Ye Family to grow stronger. A brilliant idea!’

"Oh, right, Father. This is the control center for the Void Saber Tower. From now on, the disciples of the Ye Family can train inside it whenever they wish."

With that, Ye Wushuang handed a blue-and-red sphere of light to Ye Xuan.

"The control center?"

Seeing this, everyone stared at Ye Wushuang in utter shock. ’The control center is on the terrifying and mysterious ninth floor! Ye Wushuang went in there... and came out alive!’
