Chapter 171: Chapter 172: Anx Shijie Arrives to Kill

"I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!" The icy words slowly escaped the purple-robed man’s lips, carrying an unyielding killing intent.

’Waiting for me.’

Ye Wushuang stared coldly at the purple-robed man. Who else could it be but Su Yang?

He just hadn’t expected the man’s murderous intent to be so resolute that he would chase him all the way here.

When Ye Wushuang had left earlier, Su Yang had given chase immediately.

He wasn’t the only one; many other Cultivators had joined the pursuit, but Su Yang had shaken them all off.

"Hand over the Spirit Communication Treasure, and I’ll leave you a complete corpse!"

Su Yang looked down on Ye Wushuang, his eyes filled with grim killing intent. He unleashed all his energy, making it clear that if Ye Wushuang refused to hand over the Spirit Communication Treasure, not even his bones would remain.

"Leaving me a complete corpse? I suppose I should thank you for that!" Ye Wushuang sneered. His gaze hardened, a cold light flashing in his eyes. ’Now that I’ve cultivated twenty percent of my Invincible Saber Intent, I have no one to test its power on. I never thought Su Yang would deliver himself to my doorstep.’

RUMBLE!

Without another word, Ye Wushuang activated Floating Light and Shadow and soared into the sky. "To show my gratitude, let me gift you a slash!"

RUMBLE!

The Dragon Blood Battle Saber flashed, resembling a blood-colored True Dragon. Countless blades of light burst from the Dragon Blood Saber Body, filling the firmament and blanketing the sky as they descended upon Su Yang.

"Damned peasant! I was careless last time, and you got lucky. Do you really think that will work again? How ignorant!" The insult hit a sore spot, enraging Su Yang. He swung his palms, bringing them down from the sky like two mountains to crush Ye Wushuang.

Waves of icy intent spread wildly through the air. Within a radius of several miles, the temperature plummeted below freezing—a terrifying sight!

"Slash!"

Undaunted, Ye Wushuang soared upward against the attack. Two blood-red slashes of light, each over a hundred feet long, shot from his Dragon Blood Battle Saber to meet the two massive palms.

"Hmph! An ant is just an ant. To think a True Essence First Layer whelp like you would dare challenge a True Essence Sixth Layer expert!" Su Yang’s body was wreathed in terrifying power. With a single stride, boundless energy rolled out like a vast ocean.

BANG!

BANG!

The air cracked and boomed. The boundless energy instantly overwhelmed the slashes of light and, with an all-consuming force, surged toward Ye Wushuang as if to drown him.

RUMBLE!

Ye Wushuang was sent flying, his body instantly covered in a layer of frost that chilled him to the bone. Even the blood he coughed up froze in mid-air!

’The power of the True Essence Sixth Layer is truly formidable!’

Ye Wushuang circulated his True Essence, shaking the chilling energy from his body. He was stunned. ’This is the difference in our Realms. An ordinary person would have been obliterated instantly!’

However, Ye Wushuang felt no fear. Instead, his eyes gleamed, and his Battle Intent surged. ’This is the perfect opportunity to test my full Combat Power against Su Yang!’

"Barbaric Tyrant Dragon Fist!" A Shadow of a Tyrant Dragon shot from Ye Wushuang’s fist, soaring into the sky. It let out a furious roar that shook the firmament. With a Divine Dragon’s Tail Swing, its coiling body swept away all the residual energy from the previous attack.

Su Yang scoffed and strode forward again, his black hair whipping about, the picture of arrogance.

"Down!"

With a cold shout, Su Yang formed a True Essence Palm and slammed it down. It collided violently with the Tyrant Dragon, and both attacks dissipated into nothing!

"Your Realm is too low. No matter how many tricks you have, it’s all for naught. You’re destined to die!"

Having effortlessly neutralized Ye Wushuang’s attack, Su Yang was incredibly smug and charged straight at him!

Not to be outdone, Ye Wushuang activated his Pseudo-Treasure Body to meet the charge. His golden fist flew toward Su Yang like a meteor.

BANG!

BANG!

The two figures blurred into a single point in the sky, colliding again and again amidst a series of constant explosions!

Both were incredibly powerful. The shockwaves from their collisions rippled outwards like water, and terrifying waves of energy rained down from the sky, annihilating everything below and leaving a scene of utter devastation.

Ye Wushuang’s Battle Intent surged. Like a golden War God, he wielded his Dragon Blood Battle Saber with wild abandon, unleashing one heaven-shaking slash after another that flashed and bloomed across the sky!

Su Yang, on the other hand, grew more shocked with every exchange. He was astounded not only by Ye Wushuang’s terrifying power but also by his physical body, which was frightening to an outrageous degree.

In their close-quarters battle, Su Yang had already sustained several injuries, yet Ye Wushuang’s body showed no signs of serious damage. He was fierce and seemingly invincible!

’How can this peasant be so strong?’

’A True Essence First Layer cultivator couldn’t possibly possess such terrifying Combat Power and a body like this. Not even a supreme genius!’

’Who in the world is he?’

’I have to kill him. I can’t let him live!’

Su Yang was utterly horrified, and the killing intent in his heart intensified. If he failed to kill Ye Wushuang today, once the boy matured, there would be no way for him to survive with that kind of terrifying Combat Power.

’Kill him! I must kill him!’

A divine, icy light shot from his eyes. Su Yang unleashed all of his energy, fiercely striking out with a series of Palm Seals.

"Cold Ice Heaven-Sealing Palm!"

The terrifying Palm Seals resembled icy stars. Carrying the power to freeze heaven and earth, they fell from the firmament in a dense barrage, crashing down on Ye Wushuang.

The air in their path froze solid, as if they truly intended to seal the very firmament!

Ye Wushuang’s eyes sharpened, a keen light glinting within them. He knew how terrifying this attack was. With a solemn expression, he brandished his Dragon Blood Battle Saber, and his Invincible Saber Intent billowed out.

In an instant, his aura grew much stronger!

This was a property of the Madness Saber Intent, which had now augmented him.

"Slash!"

The Dragon Blood Battle Saber swept out. Eighty-one Qi Vortexes furiously channeled Dragon Spirit True Essence into it, unleashing slashes of blood-red light that resembled an ancient blood moon appearing in the world, dyeing the sky crimson.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The peerless saber light cleaved through the Palm Seals one after another, causing them to explode!

"Kill!"

With his Essence, Qi, and Spirit raised to their peak, Ye Wushuang savagely charged through the explosive shockwaves, unleashing a mad flurry of saber light that enveloped Su Yang.

Su Yang’s expression changed, and he hastily retreated.

But Ye Wushuang didn’t stop. Relying on the resilience of his Pseudo-Treasure Body, he charged through the heart of the explosions in hot pursuit, his Dragon Blood Battle Saber cleaving down.

RUMBLE!

Even though Su Yang managed to put up a defense, he was still sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood!

’Who’s the ant? Who’s the ignorant one now?’

Ye Wushuang smirked. Seizing the opportunity, he slashed again and again, giving Su Yang no chance to counterattack.

Flustered, Su Yang could only defend passively, but Ye Wushuang’s slashes were relentless, raining down madly and slamming into his body.

Su Yang coughed up torrents of blood as he crashed into the ground.

Seeing his chance, a vicious light flashed in Ye Wushuang’s eyes as he brought his saber down for the killing blow.

"Ye Wushuang, if you dare to kill me, the Young Mistress will not let you go!"

Terrified out of his wits, Su Yang roared.

However, Ye Wushuang didn’t halt his attack. The blade continued its descent!

But in the next instant, a chill ran down his spine. His Divine Sense flared in alarm, detecting a colossal, sky-covering hand descending from above to crush him.

Before Ye Wushuang could react, it swatted him out of the air. With a deafening RUMBLE, he crashed into the ground, gouging out a massive crater!

Immediately, another sky-covering palm materialized in the air and slammed down toward Ye Wushuang, who had yet to get back up. It seemed determined to crush him into oblivion!

Ye Wushuang spat out a mouthful of blood but reacted instantly, using Floating Light and Shadow to dodge out of the way!

"Little bastard! Let’s see who can save you today!" An aged voice suddenly boomed through the air—a voice that was all too familiar to Ye Wushuang.

’It’s that old dog, An Shijie!’

Ye Wushuang’s expression changed drastically. The one who had attacked him was An Shijie!
