Chapter 68: Chapter 68: A Domineering Slash

Yuh Hao, the Young Master of the Feather Race and a king of flight. In the vast Endless Wilderness, as long as he didn’t encounter an expert at the True Essence Realm or above, his speed was enough to ignore all danger.

That was why he dared to be so reckless.

Unfortunately for him, he had run into Ye Wushuang.

Glancing at the corpse on the ground, the killing intent receded into his body. The ferocity and coldness in Ye Wushuang’s pitch-black eyes faded, replaced once again by a calm clarity. He smiled faintly at the three people beside him. "Let’s go."

"Huh?"

Staring at the smiling Ye Wushuang, the three of them were in a daze. ’Is this still the same savage, domineering, and violent Ye Wushuang from before?’

Seeing their reaction, Ye Wushuang shook his head. They didn’t understand that his coldness and his fury were reserved only for his enemies.

He didn’t bother to explain and simply walked away.

The three of them also knew that with Yuh Hao’s appearance, the experts of the Feather Race couldn’t be far. If they didn’t leave now, they would face the Feather Race’s retaliation.

Snapping back to their senses, the three of them hurried to catch up with Ye Wushuang. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

But they had only taken a few steps when several unfamiliar figures appeared a short distance ahead, blocking Ye Wushuang’s path and staring him down.

Ye Wushuang also stopped in his tracks.

"You think you can just kill someone and walk away?" a frigid voice drawled from one of the figures.

Ye Wushuang looked up, his eyes narrowing. Before him stood six people. Five of them were practically radiating waves of heat, their auras immensely powerful.

They were none other than the disciples of the Fiery Sun Sect—Cai Ming, Luo Xuan, and the others—led here by Ice Sea.

"That’s Ye Wushuang!" Ice Sea stared at Ye Wushuang with venomous eyes, then turned to a Fiery Sun Sect Disciple beside him. "He’s the one who killed your sect’s people! It has nothing to do with me!"

"Ice Sea, you bastard!"

Watching Ice Sea side with the stronger group, Yunn Dong, Yuann Qingmeng, and Leng Hex’s expressions turned cold. At this point, it was painfully obvious that Ice Sea had led these people here.

"Ye Wushuang, so it really is you!" The moment they saw him, two people stepped forward, their violent, scorching auras shockingly potent.

"Luo Xuan!"

"Luo Yunjiao!"

Ye Wushuang turned to look at the pair, a hint of surprise on his face. He was all too familiar with them—the geniuses of Blood Jade City’s Luo Family.

Blood Jade City had three great families: the Ye Family, the Ouyang Family of the City Lord’s Mansion, and the Luo Family. The three powers kept each other in check, constantly clashing over the city’s interests.

Of the three, the conflict between the Ye and Luo Families ran deepest—so deep that both sides would secretly make lethal moves against the other.

"I never believed it before—that a good-for-nothing could actually turn his fate around. You’ve really surprised us," Luo Xuan said, staring at Ye Wushuang. He had already sensed Ye Wushuang’s cultivation, and it had genuinely shocked him. After all, breaking through an entire Grand Realm in a single year was simply unbelievable.

"There’s a lot you haven’t seen coming."

Ye Wushuang scoffed. At the same time, his Divine Sense scanned their cultivation. ’Both at the Qi Vortex Seventh Layer. And their auras are incredibly strong. Their Combat Power can’t be underestimated.’

"Is that so? We’re not interested in whatever else you have up your sleeve, but..."

As Luo Yunjiao spoke, killing intent flashed in her beautiful eyes. "Now that you’ve run into us, you can forget about leaving here alive. I really want to see just how devastated your bitch of a sister will be when I kill you."

’Every time she remembered how Ye Rou had always outshone her, the resentment in Luo Yunjiao’s heart grew. Today, she would kill the person Ye Rou cared about most and make her suffer a fate worse than death!’

With that, Luo Yunjiao started to move.

But Cai Ming stopped her. He glanced back at Luo Yunjiao, his eyes full of adoration. "Yunjiao, he’s just a good-for-nothing. Let me handle it, no need to dirty your hands."

BOOM!

Before anyone could react, Cai Ming strode forward. Flames erupted from his body, soaring to the sky. He looked like an almighty Fire God, his presence utterly astonishing.

Die!

Flames shot from Cai Ming’s eyes as he launched a giant palm of fire across the distance toward Ye Wushuang.

Seeing this, a gleeful smile spread across Ice Sea’s face. ’Ye Wushuang dared to slap me, so I dared to bring people to kill him. He’s a dead man!’

"You three, go on ahead!" Ye Wushuang’s gaze sharpened as he shouted to his companions. In a flash, he moved to intercept the attack. ’Anyone who insults my sister must die!’

"Young Master Ye, this is our fault. We..."

Yuann Qingmeng started to rush forward, but Yunn Dong pulled her back. Going up there now would only get in Ye Wushuang’s way.

"You’re too weak! Watch me kill you with a single palm strike!"

Seeing Ye Wushuang charge forward, Cai Ming smiled strangely. ’I’ve liked Luo Yunjiao for a long time,’ he thought. ’Today, I have to put on a good show and make her see me in a new light.’

Immediately, the fiery power within him erupted. Flames leaped from his body, empowering the giant fire palm as it bore down on Ye Wushuang. The sky-filling blaze burned the very air red with a searing SIZZLE.

"Get lost!"

Ye Wushuang straightened his posture, his Ancient Sword drawn in a flash. The Life-Taking Sword technique burst forth, an unstoppable, peerlessly sharp advance!

The giant fire palm was cleaved in two, dissipating into nothing. The Life-Taking Sword Intent washed over Cai Ming like a layer of frost, chilling him to the bone and forcing him into a hasty retreat.

"Didn’t you think I was too weak? Weren’t you going to kill me with a single palm strike? Then tell me, why are you running now?" The cold, mocking words dripped from Ye Wushuang’s lips, stabbing into Cai Ming’s heart like daggers.

He immediately gave chase, using Floating Light and Shadow.

Mocked and ridiculed, Cai Ming’s face flushed crimson with rage. ’To think that I, Cai Ming, was just scared off by someone I called a good-for-nothing!’

’And not only that—the woman I admire is watching! I’ve lost all face! Ye Wushuang has to die!’

He stopped short. Then, with a murderous glint in his eyes, he spun around and charged at Ye Wushuang again.

"Idiot!"

Seeing this, Ye Wushuang spat out a single word. With his other hand, he casually grabbed a blunted Spiritual Artifact Giant Saber and swung it down at Cai Ming.

The tyrannical arc of saber light looked as if it would tear open space itself, bringing an unparalleled shredding force down upon Cai Ming’s head.

"How is that possible?"

The onlookers were stunned by the Combat Power Ye Wushuang was displaying. Although Cai Ming was the weakest among them, he was still at the Qi Vortex Fifth Layer. Yet Ye Wushuang had forced him into such a pathetic state!

"This is bad!"

Suddenly, the group snapped out of it. They all moved at once, roaring, "Stop!"

"’Stop?’ Do you take me for a fool?" Ye Wushuang sneered. The terrifying, ten-meter-long arc of saber light covered a huge area as it descended, shattering Cai Ming’s Fiery Red Armor in an instant.

SQUELCH!

Cai Ming’s body was torn in half, blood splattering through the air in a gruesome display.

"Who’s the good-for-nothing now?"

Ye Wushuang watched coldly. ’He was only at the Qi Vortex Fifth Layer. Killing him was as easy as killing a dog. And he dared to call me a good-for-nothing? Who’s the real good-for-nothing here!’

Meanwhile, the others who had been rushing over froze, their hearts trembling at the sight. A Qi Vortex Fifth Layer expert, cleaved in two in the blink of an eye!

"Ye Wushuang, you’re dead!" A moment later, their shock turned back to fury.
