In a mountain hollow, a hundred miles from the Demon Abyss.

BOOM!

The fighting here was exceptionally fierce. Shockwaves rippled outward one after another, slamming into the surrounding mountains. Boulders shattered, turning to dust.

Zooming in, eight young men at the True Essence Third and Fourth Layers could be seen frantically attacking a man and a woman.

Of the pair, one was a handsome youth at the True Essence Third Layer.

The other was a voluptuous young woman at the True Essence Fourth Layer. She wore a tight-fitting, light-blue martial arts outfit that accentuated her exquisite figure. Her outstanding aura made the eight young men’s eyes fill with desire.

Facing the assault of eight youths at the True Essence Third and Fourth Layers, the pair was increasingly on the back foot!

BOOM!

Finally, the two were sent flying by a terrifying attack from the eight youths, crashing to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood!

The eight men were ruthless. A single combined attack had severely injured them both.

"Damn it, we’ve been looking for Ye Wushuang for so long and haven’t seen hide nor hair of him. But the heavens aren’t so cruel. They know we’ve worked hard, so they sent us a beauty to reward us."

A grey-robed youth chuckled wickedly as he walked toward the voluptuous young woman.

"Bastard! If you dare touch her, I’ll kill you!" The youth’s expression changed drastically. He scrambled to his feet and stood protectively in front of the woman, his face a mask of determination, unafraid of death.

Seeing this, the grey-robed youth sneered coldly. "Kid, I’m not just going to ’touch’ her. I’m going to ’touch’ you, too. I’m about to break through to the True Essence Fifth Layer. After I’m done, I’ll chop off your limbs and use your blood essence for my Cultivation. I’m sure that will be enough to push me over the edge."

With that, he walked over.

"Sister-in-law, run!" The young man was not one to cling to life out of fear. He turned and gave the woman a push before charging at the youth.

The grey-robed youth sneered in contempt. The young man was already severely injured; his resistance was nothing more than a final, futile struggle!

He immediately thrust out his palm, and a True Essence Palm sent the youth flying more than ten meters.

"Yijun!"

The voluptuous young woman’s pretty face changed as she rushed over.

"Beauty, don’t be in such a hurry. Your turn is next!" The grey-robed youth flashed a lecherous smile, moving to block the woman’s path while reaching a hand toward her face.

The seven youths behind him also quickly closed in.

"You animals! We’re from the Lii Family of Yunhuang City! If you touch her, the Lii Family won’t let any of you go!" the youth roared, his eyes bloodshot with fury. He tried to force his grievously wounded body to charge forward again.

"What’s so great about the Lii Family? After we’ve had our fun, do you really think we’d let you go back?"

Several of the youths roared with laughter, and one of them prepared to finish the young man off.

However, the grey-robed youth stopped him. He gave a wicked grin and said, "Don’t kill the kid just yet. Let him watch how we ’take care of’ his sister-in-law."

With that, the grey-robed youth reached a hand toward the young woman.

Seeing this, the voluptuous young woman despaired.

She was surrounded on all sides by the seven youths, with no hope of escape.

In that instant, the will to die arose within her, and she prepared to sever her own meridians!

But at that very moment, a flash of Sword Aura abruptly burst from the void. The Sword Light bloomed, so brilliant and dazzling that it momentarily blinded everyone!

In that brief instant of blindness, the grey-robed youth’s outstretched arm had already left his body, flying through the air.

It happened so fast that no one could react; even the grey-robed youth’s scream was half a beat too late!

"AHHH!"

Then, a bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, finally erupted.

"Noisy!" A cold voice suddenly rang out. A white figure flickered beside the grey-robed youth, and a line of blood instantly appeared on his neck.

With that, the scream cut off abruptly. The light vanished from the grey-robed youth’s eyes, and his body slumped forward.

Seeing this, the other seven youths snapped back to their senses. They rapidly put distance between them, their eyes fixed on the white-robed figure in midair!

At the same time, the young woman ran to one side and helped the youth to his feet, watching nervously.

"Who are you? How dare you kill a Disciple of my Demon Abyss?" one of the youths asked coldly, remaining on high alert.

"You don’t even know who I am? What a bunch of idiots!" The white-robed figure in the sky gave a cold smile. ’They’ve been hunting me for so long, and they don’t even know my name!’

"Bastard! You dare insult us? I’ll break every bone in your body today!" A youth at the Qi Vortex Fourth Level roared in fury, raising a Blood-Colored Battle Axe and charging toward the figure in white.

SWISH!

The white-robed figure moved, and the Life-Taking Sword flashed, piercing through the air.

DING!

The tip of the sword tapped against the Blood-Colored Battle Axe in an instant. Immediately after, the white-robed figure flicked his wrist, and the sharp edge of his sword scraped past the axe’s blade, sending sparks flying.

The next second, the sword’s tip easily bypassed the Battle Axe and, with a PFFT, pierced the young man’s heart.

"Just who are you?"

Staring at the Ancient Sword in his chest, the youth was in disbelief. ’A single strike... I couldn’t even block it!’

"Ye Wushuang!"

The white-robed figure uttered two words.

"Ye Wushuang!"

Hearing this, the remaining six youths were overjoyed.

However, when they saw their two companions who had died in an instant, their expressions changed again.

"Quick, notify the Elder!"

One of the youths reacted immediately, raising his hand and shooting a beam of black light toward the Firmament.

Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed. His figure flickered. Life-Taking Sword, a life-taking strike—the Sword Light moved like lightning.

PFFT! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

PFFT!

Splashes of blood bloomed in the air, like bewitching Mandalas!

In just a few breaths, under the ghostly and unpredictable Sword Light, all six men fell to the ground!

Watching from a distance, the hearts of the two survivors trembled. ’True Essence First Layer... and he killed eight masters at the True Essence Third and Fourth Layers in an instant. This young man is terrifying!’

However, seeing the eight men dead also filled them with joy.

"Thank you for saving us, Benefactor!" The two hurried over and bowed in unison.

"It was nothing, don’t mention it." The coldness in Ye Wushuang’s eyes faded, replaced by a clear, deep gaze. He gave the pair a faint smile.

The two were slightly taken aback. The cold God of Slaughter from a moment ago was now so humble.

"I am Lii Yijun of the Lii Family from Yunhuang City, and this is my sister-in-law, Han Qingqing. May we know our benefactor’s esteemed name?" the young man, Lii Yijun, said by way of introduction.

"Ye Wushuang," Ye Wushuang said calmly.

BOOM!

As soon as the words left his mouth, Demon Clouds billowed in the distance. It was clear that the group from the Demon Abyss hunting him had received the message and were now in pursuit.

Han Qingqing and Lii Yijun also looked over, their faces changing. "What is...?"

"They’re after me!" Ye Wushuang said with a smile. "You two should go. This has nothing to do with you!"

"Benefactor, we are not cowards who cling to life! You saved us when we were in crisis. Now that you’re in trouble, how could we be so ungrateful as to..."

Lii Yijun said firmly. However, before he could finish his sentence, terrifying auras began to emanate from the distance, causing the very air to tremble.

’This is... Spiritual Spring Realm!’

Seeing this, the pair’s faces paled. The newcomers in the distance were Spiritual Spring Realm masters, and there was more than one!

"Hahaha, you two should hurry and go."

Ye Wushuang laughed heartily and vanished in a flash. He appreciated their kind intentions but didn’t want to drag them into his troubles.

By the time the two turned their heads, Ye Wushuang was already gone. Lii Yijun shouted, "Benefactor, if you ever need anything in the future, please come find us in Yunhuang City!"

"Yijun, our benefactor doesn’t want to involve us. We should go, too."

Gazing at the departing figure, Han Qingqing’s beautiful eyes narrowed in thought. ’This white-robed youth... being pursued by a group of Spiritual Spring Realm experts, yet not only is he unafraid, he’s laughing out loud. It’s unbelievable!’

With that, the two looked away and hastily departed as well.
