Dragon Blood Saint Emperor
Chapter 230 - 231: All Enemies Gather
As a figure in white descended from the sky, countless gazes turned to watch.
They were all too familiar with this figure.
"Ye—Wu—shuang!"
The sound of gritting teeth echoed as two words were hissed from the clenched jaws of the crowd. The eyes fixed on Ye Wushuang flared with cold, murderous intent.
Among them were not only people from the Demon Abyss!
There were also members of the Feather Race, the Fiery Sun Sect, and others!
The killing intent was strongest from people like Yang Dingtian, who had hunted Ye Wushuang in the past.
They had hunted Ye Wushuang relentlessly, only to lose many of their own Disciples and suffer a complete loss of face. They hated him to the bone, and yet, they never expected that after all that trouble, Ye Wushuang would appear before them once again.
What enraged them even more was that his arrival was accompanied by the deaths of many more Disciples.
As for the others, their expressions were peculiar. They looked at Ye Wushuang as if he were a God of Slaughter, leaving rivers of blood in his wake wherever he went.
They had heard that Ye Wushuang’s Cultivation wasn’t strong!
They had heard that he had single-handedly offended several Major Influences!
They had heard that he was being hunted by droves of people!
But what surprised and astounded them was that, against all odds, he just wouldn’t die.
If they weren’t seeing him with their own eyes, they would have assumed he was merely a fictional character.
"Interesting!"
From within the crowd, a young man cloaked in black robes watched Ye Wushuang and hissed the word coldly.
He was rail-thin, with a deathly pale face devoid of any color.
He was the same strange young man who had appeared in the Land of Yin Spirit, standing atop the Flood Dragon Corpse!
"Brother Ye!"
Meanwhile, Yangg Qing’er and the others saw Ye Wushuang arrive and joyfully ran toward him.
At that moment, Qianling took the opportunity to slip out of Ye Wushuang’s embrace.
It wasn’t because she feared being misunderstood. Rather, facing hundreds, even thousands, of stares made her feel like she was being pierced by needles. She couldn’t bear being the center of so much attention.
"Xiaoshuang!"
Ye Rou and Yangg Qing’er ran up to him.
Though his expression remained unchanged as he watched the two women approach, Ye Wushuang inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let him go!"
Seeing Ye Wushuang with his foot on Blood Ghost, the faces of the group from the Demon Abyss turned ashen. They barked coldly, their tone filled with command.
"Ye Wushuang, do you dare to slaughter the innocent in front of all these people?"
Chi Tian also snapped coldly.
’Slaughter the innocent?’
The words grated on Ye Wushuang’s ears. He turned and glanced at Feng Jue, who was descending from the sky.
BAM!
Ye Wushuang kicked Blood Ghost’s body, sending it flying.
Not toward the people from the Demon Abyss, of course, but toward the descending Feng Jue.
BOOM!
Feng Jue landed a foot on Blood Ghost’s back and raised his Silver Battle Saber high.
An intense aura of death enveloped Blood Ghost’s mind, filling him with terror and despair. "Bastard, if you dare to kill me, you’ll die too!"
"You damn animal! If you kill me, the Demon Abyss will hunt you down and kill you!"
Seeing Feng Jue’s move, a few Disciples from the Demon Abyss burst from the crowd, charging forward to kill.
"Just finish him!"
Ye Wushuang yelled to Feng Jue, then turned to face the charging group.
One was at the True Essence Eighth Layer!
Three were at the True Essence Seventh Layer!
Feng Jue’s saber didn’t pause. With a flash of its blade, Blood Ghost’s head flew through the air like a bloody comet, hurtling toward the four charging Disciples from the Demon Abyss.
BOOM!
It collided with an energy attack in mid-air and exploded.
"Bastard! You bastard!"
This enraged the four Disciples from the Demon Abyss even more. They unleashed terrifying attacks, intending to annihilate Feng Jue.
The others in the back didn’t move, merely watching.
But Ye Wushuang moved. He drew his Dragon Blood Battle Saber and hurled it through the air.
The motion was simple and brutal. The Dragon Blood Battle Saber seemed to transform into a resurrected, blood-colored True Dragon, its body whipping through the air as it crashed toward the four Disciples of the Demon Abyss.
The four clearly hadn’t expected Ye Wushuang to dare to attack them here and were caught completely off guard.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Instantly, the three Disciples at the True Essence Seventh Layer died on the spot. The one at the True Essence Eighth Layer was also caught by surprise; his body was sent flying by the blade, and he crashed to the ground, coughing up blood unceasingly.
The crowd’s pupils contracted in utter shock.
’He dared to attack right in front of Wudao, Chi Tian, and the other top Disciples of the Demon Abyss!’
’So audacious! This guy is unbelievably audacious!’
"RUMBLE!"
Chi Tian could no longer suppress his fury. He burst from the crowd and charged at Ye Wushuang.
’If I don’t kill Ye Wushuang, this rage in my heart will never be quenched!’
The moment Chi Tian moved, Dii Qingxue’s figure stirred as well.
Seeing this, Wudao gave a cold smile and also began to move.
Seeing Chi Tian’s sudden attack, the faces of the three women—Ye Rou, Yangg Qing’er, and Qianling—changed. They immediately shouted for Ye Wushuang to get out of the way.
BOOM!
Their shouts had barely rung out when a massive palm descended from the sky, large enough to blot out the sun.
Of course, it wasn’t aimed at Ye Wushuang. It was descending upon Chi Tian.
RUMBLE!
The giant palm was unstoppable, seeming to crush the very Firmament and annihilate everything in its path as it slammed down on Chi Tian.
Chi Tian’s expression sank. He reacted instantly, retreating at top speed.
BOOM!
The massive palm slammed into a corner of the grand plaza, causing it to cave in. The entire plaza trembled violently, striking fear into the hearts of all present.
Chi Tian landed, nearly stumbling.
However, a top Disciple was a top Disciple, after all. The moment his toes touched the ground, he absorbed the impact and used the momentum to launch himself back into the Demon Abyss’s formation.
"Demon Abyss! You dare touch my clan’s Lord Priest? I, Pann Wu, will annihilate you!"
A giant strode in from outside, covering hundreds of feet with each step, like a small mountain on the move.
"It’s that member of the Giant Spirit Race!"
Everyone recognized Pann Wu.
In just a few giant strides, Pann Wu was standing behind Ye Wushuang.
"Kid, long time no see! Didn’t think your life would be this eventful! Gahaha!"
The Dragon Cat was still perched flamboyantly on Pann Wu’s shoulder.
"Lord Priest, are you all right?" Pann Wu asked, looking down.
"I’m fine."
Ye Wushuang replied, though he was inwardly frustrated. ’I was just about to use Chi Tian to test the gap between myself and the top Disciples.’
’I can’t believe this guy just slapped him away with one palm strike.’
When the Disciples who had survived the earlier hunt saw Pann Wu appear, they immediately turned to Yang Dingtian and the other top Disciples. "Senior Brothers, Ye Wushuang has fallen to the demonic path! He’s being controlled by a Fierce Demon and is slaughtering the innocent! We must eliminate him!"
"That’s right! Ye Wushuang is bloodthirsty! He kills people to steal their treasures and slaughters us mercilessly! He’s no different from an animal! We must avenge the dead!"
Many others chimed in venomously. Ye Wushuang had killed Disciples from many different powers, so this was the perfect opportunity to use the collective might of the crowd to get him killed.
Huo Zheng of the Fiery Sun Sect saw his chance and shouted, "He’s bloodthirsty! This fiend has fallen to the demonic path, slaughtering the Disciples of our Sects. His sins are unforgivable! We cannot allow him to continue this rampage!"
Hearing this, the top Disciples understood exactly what the crowd was thinking.
However, they had more to consider. Ye Wushuang was a Disciple of the Ancient Spirit Sect. If they attacked him, the other members of the Ancient Spirit Sect would not stand idly by.
Yuh Yuzhen of the Feather Race’s eyes glinted. She turned to Mo Wentian and the other three top Disciples of the Ancient Spirit Sect. "Ye Wushuang is a Disciple of the Ancient Spirit Sect," she said. "He has slaughtered the Disciples of our Sects. We hope the Ancient Spirit Sect will give us an explanation."
"Indeed," Ao Wuchang of the Celestial Sword Sect added coolly. "Ye Wushuang has killed countless Disciples from various Major Influences. This is a clear provocation to all our Sects. If you don’t punish him, then we will simply have to repay you in kind!"
The meaning behind his words was crystal clear to everyone from the Ancient Spirit Sect: they were being told to punish Ye Wushuang, or these other powers would start attacking their Disciples.
This caused the expressions of the Ancient Spirit Sect members to change. If several of these major powers ganged up on them, they would stand no chance at all.
