Chapter 168: Chapter 169: Saber Demon Body

Watching the crazed, black-clothed youth, the smiles on the faces of the several people from the Demon Abyss in the sky grew wider and wider.

From time to time, they would launch attacks that struck the black-clothed youth, sending him flying again and again, coughing up mouthfuls of blood.

However, they didn’t kill the black-clothed youth; they were merely provoking him relentlessly.

The black-clothed youth, in turn, grew more and more frenzied. His eyes were bloodshot, looking as if they would pop from their sockets, as he mechanically swung his blade in the direction of the attacks.

The eight Demon Abyss disciples in the sky shifted their positions, effortlessly dodging the youth’s blind attacks. They circled above his head, laughing mockingly.

Seeing this, some of the people below looked grim. They couldn’t stand to watch any longer.

Someone said coldly, "Aren’t you going too far? If you want to take the Battle Saber in his hand, then just give him a quick death. Don’t you feel shameless for torturing him like this?!"

Upon hearing this, a young man from the Demon Abyss group suddenly turned his head.

On the young man’s right cheek was a finger-length, blood-colored scar. It looked as if it hadn’t healed yet, with flesh squirming within it. Combined with his eyes, which were so gaunt that only the eyeballs seemed to remain, he looked just like a demon.

Furthermore, the aura of his True Essence Sixth Layer cultivation inspired fear in everyone’s hearts.

He had a name: Blood Ghost!

Blood Ghost stared at the speaker and said icily, "The Demon Abyss is conducting business. I’d advise you all not to meddle!"

After speaking, he released a powerful aura from his body that spread outward. The faces of those who couldn’t bear to watch immediately changed, and they fell silent.

’Hmph! A bunch of trash, daring to get in the way of my Demon Abyss!’

Blood Ghost sneered and continued to watch the black-clothed youth. He wanted to torture this youth, to drive him insane step by step, to make his life a living hell.

Only by doing this could they use the power of the youth’s rampaging bloodline to break the seal on the Battle Saber. When that happened, they would take care of the black-clothed youth without needing to be told.

"Dragon Cat, when did you wake up?" Ye Wushuang asked. The moment this thing entered the Chaos Space, it had fallen asleep as if it were in its own nest.

"Kid, don’t ask questions right now. Quickly, save this Saber Demon Body," the Dragon Cat said.

"What’s a Saber Demon Body?" Ye Wushuang was confused.

"The Saber Demon Body is a type of special constitution. It’s a manifestation of talent within one’s physical body and bloodline. Just like your Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body, which grants you freakishly powerful abilities, the Saber Demon Body does the same. Although it’s just the most common type of special constitution, it still grants him abilities that surpass ordinary people."

"So, you have to take this guy in. It would be best to make him your subordinate. In the future, when we kill our way back to... *cough cough*, anyway, he’ll be helpful in the future." The Dragon Cat seemed to have touched upon a taboo topic and quickly shut its mouth.

’Make him my subordinate?’

’The guy’s already lost his mind, how am I supposed to recruit him? Besides, with the group from the Demon Abyss here, it’s even more difficult!’

Ye Wushuang frowned, his gaze falling on Moo Li!

Moo Li’s eyes had been fixed on Ye Wushuang. After a moment’s hesitation, he muttered something to Blood Ghost beside him.

Immediately, Blood Ghost also turned to look at Ye Wushuang. His expression was identical to Moo Li’s earlier—utterly astonished!

Ye Wushuang wasn’t dead!

However, after his surprise, he gave a cold smile. ’Since he’s not dead, then after we deal with the black-clothed youth and seize the Battle Saber, we’ll kill Ye Wushuang!’

Thinking of this, Blood Ghost gave a sinister smile and said to Moo Li, "We’ll deal with him later!"

Looking at the two who were staring over, Ye Wushuang’s eyes turned cold. He had been hunted by the Demon Abyss and had nearly died. The anger in his heart had not yet subsided. They wanted to kill him, but didn’t he also want to kill them?

Glancing at the restless crowd around him, Ye Wushuang’s eyes flickered. It was clear the Top-Grade Spirit-Connected Treasure was a great temptation to them; they were only holding back out of fear of the eight people in the sky.

Thinking of this, Ye Wushuang took a step forward.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Gazes from all around focused on him, filled with curiosity. ’A guy at the True Essence First Layer actually wants to make a move?’

"Brother Ye!"

Seeing this, Lii Yifei’s expression changed, and he tugged on Ye Wushuang’s arm.

Hmph!

Off to the side, Su Yang sneered. The eight from the Demon Abyss were powerful. Even he, at the True Essence Sixth Layer, was extremely wary of them. ’A mere True Essence First Layer cultivator dares to provoke them?’

Su Yang said mockingly, "Just a coward putting on a show. Don’t find yourself in a situation you can’t get out of later!"

"It’s better than certain people who, despite being at the True Essence Sixth Layer and claiming to be powerful, don’t even dare to put on a show. They can only act like cowards, scared off by a single sentence!" Ye Wushuang retorted coldly.

"You..." Su Yang was furious, but he suppressed his anger and sneered, "You’re all talk. If you’ve really got what it takes, then go on. I’d like to see if you actually dare."

Hearing this, everyone understood that Su Yang was trying to goad Ye Wushuang.

Lii Yijun was suddenly anxious and prepared to step forward and stop him.

However, Lii Yifei held him back. Others might not have understood, but he knew clearly in his heart that while Su Yang was goading Ye Wushuang, wasn’t Ye Wushuang also goading Su Yang? Or rather, goading everyone in the crowd.

What Lii Yifei didn’t understand was, what was Ye Wushuang planning?

Watching Ye Wushuang step out, the eight Demon Abyss disciples also stared over coldly, their killing intent leaking out uncontrollably. They desperately wanted to deal with Ye Wushuang, but the seal on the Battle Saber in the black-clothed youth’s hand was about to break. They couldn’t afford to be distracted at this moment!

Instantly, a Demon Abyss disciple at the True Essence Fourth Layer issued an icy warning, "Ye Wushuang, if you dare take another step forward, you will die!"

But as soon as his voice fell, Ye Wushuang responded with his actions—he took another step forward!

However, his body then vanished into the void!

The next moment, he suddenly appeared in front of that same Demon Abyss disciple, accompanied by a bloody flash of saber light streaking through the void.

SPLAT!

The saber fell, and the man died!

A corpse fell from the sky. No one could have imagined that Ye Wushuang would kill just like that. No, he didn’t even say he was going to kill, he just did it, so fast that no one had time to react!

Even Blood Ghost, Moo Li, and the others were stunned. At a time like this, Ye Wushuang still dared to provoke them and kill one of their own!

"They’re so easy to kill, yet you didn’t dare. And you have the nerve to goad me? Coward!" Ye Wushuang turned to look at Su Yang with a sarcastic smile, but his eyes secretly glanced at the others in the crowd.

The crowd opened their mouths to say something, but nothing came out. Weren’t Ye Wushuang’s words just telling them that the Demon Abyss disciples were easy to kill, and that they should all hurry up and join in?

Seeing this, the crowd grew even more restless!

Now, even someone at the True Essence First Layer dared to kill, while their entire group was being intimidated by just eight people. This left a sour taste in their mouths.

"Ye Wushuang, you’re courting death!"

Blood Ghost snapped back to his senses, instantly enraged. A murderous glint appeared in his eyes as he charged toward Ye Wushuang.

The corner of Ye Wushuang’s mouth curled up. His figure vanished again, only to reappear behind another Demon Abyss disciple.

Seeing this, Moo Li’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately shouted, "Watch out!"

That Demon Abyss disciple was also vigilant. Hearing the shout, he explosively retreated, instantly creating distance between himself and Ye Wushuang.

However, Ye Wushuang’s speed was even faster. He closed the distance in an instant, and his Dragon Blood Battle Saber came down. The bloody saber light flared brilliantly, engulfing the Demon Abyss disciple.

"Ye Wushuang, I’ll flay you alive!"

Moo Li was also furious and charged at Ye Wushuang.

At the same time, Blood Ghost also attacked from the side.

"Hmph!"

On the ground, Lii Yifei let out a cold snort, stepped into the air, and charged toward Blood Ghost, his body wreathed in Sword Intent.

The moment Lii Yifei moved, the restless crowd also let out a roar and charged toward the black-clothed youth. They didn’t dare attack the Demon Abyss, but they could snatch the Battle Saber!

But how could the people from the Demon Abyss let them seize it so easily!

Instantly, the remaining Demon Abyss disciples attacked, wiping out the first few people who charged forward.

The pupils of the people charging up from behind constricted. Then, their expressions turned vicious. "First, let’s kill these Demon Abyss bastards, then we’ll take the Battle Saber!"
