Chapter 1594: Chapter 1594: Great Elder of Qingcheng Mountain

Standing by the corpses, Ye Xuan was untouched by blood. His tattered clothes fluttered in the breeze with his hair, resembling a demon crawling out of Hell.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Seeing such a grim scene, the already tense crowd was instantly thrown into ultimate terror.

In their horror, it seemed everyone reached a consensus, using all they had learned in their lives to flee in all directions.

An arrow on the string must be released?

Releasing it means death!

Either way, it’s death; better to let as many escape as possible!

"You think you can just come and go as you please?"

Seeing the fleeing figures, Ye Xuan let out an extremely wicked smile.

So far, none of those he resolved to kill had ever successfully escaped!

His figure blurred, and Ye Xuan vanished from the spot.

In the next moment.

Bang, bang, bang!

The piercing and heavy chaotic sounds echoed. Several Martial Arts disciples fleeing southward fell dead on the spot, each dying in different manners.

Bang, bang, bang!

The same sound echoed. Several Qingcheng Mountain disciples in the northern direction died in endless fear.

This group had almost not even hit the ground.

Bang, bang, bang!

Several Martial Arts experts in the west also perished.

In less than five seconds, everyone in the southwest, north, and west directions was completely wiped out!

Only the trio of Tan Hao fleeing eastward still remained alive.

They hadn’t realized that their comrades were all dead, only aware that they had made a huge mistake tonight, and the only thing left to do was to desperately escape.

But.

It was futile.

They had barely run a hundred steps.

The Tan Hao trio suddenly stopped in their tracks, their bodies rigid as if struck by lightning.

Because before them appeared a demonic figure!

"No... don’t..."

The trio screamed in terror in their hearts.

Ye Xuan looked at the infinitely terrified trio, a teasing curve lifting at the corner of his mouth.

He stepped forward to stand before them, then looked with interest at the chubby youngster, smiling as he said, "Do you know how tiring it is to be a gentleman?"

The chubby youngster stared wide-eyed at Ye Xuan, not understanding what he was saying and not in the mood to grasp his meaning.

A deathly silence.

Ye Xuan did not explain further to the chubby youngster.

He chuckled and shook his head.

Bang, bang, bang!

In an instant, two punches and three kicks sounded with astonishing fracturing noises.

The chubby youngster felt no pain before his limbs were all crippled, collapsing to the ground like a pile of mud, his mind blank.

In the next second, the chubby youngster felt gut-wrenching agony.

Simultaneously, Ye Xuan’s cold laugh sounded: "You’ll know how tiring it is to be a gentleman."

After speaking, Ye Xuan took out silver needles and pricked Tan Hao and his junior sister.

Tan Hao and the junior sister were covered in cold sweat, staring intently at Ye Xuan as they asked, "What did you do to us?"

Ye Xuan grinned: "What I did is not important. What matters is... you, this oxen, will work to death tonight, and this field will be thoroughly plowed."

Ye Xuan turned to leave, not taking a speck of dust with him.

Boom!

As the flashy sports car sped away.

Tan Hao and the junior sister’s eyes turned crimson at almost the same time, panting like oxen, entering a state of frenzy, with no reason left.

"Ah!"

Tan Hao went mad, pouncing on the junior sister like a beast.

In the desolate wilderness, corpses were strewn everywhere.

Tan Hao and the junior sister played out the wildest scenes.

The only observer, the chubby youngster, watched the insane yet thrilling scene before him, feeling as though the whole world had collapsed.

...

Chen Yue was the Great Elder of Qingcheng Mountain, highly skilled, virtuous and respected.

This time, Ye Xuan was set to duel the Sword God, and Chen Yue represented the Martial Arts Qingcheng Mountain, bringing his outstanding disciples as witnesses, also to broaden the children’s horizons.

After all, duels of Ye Xuan and the Sword God’s level were extremely rare even within the Martial Arts.

But who could have imagined?

The duel hadn’t even begun, and the outstanding disciples he valued so much had already turned into cold, rigid corpses!

In a dim chamber, Chen Yue stared at the thirteen corpses before him, his face twisted in a grimace, experiencing for the first time the excruciating pain of a heart split asunder.

These were his painstaking, over ten-year-old efforts!

Chen Yue painfully closed his eyes, unwilling to look at the heartbreaking scene before him.

He clenched his fists and asked in a deep voice, "How did they die?"

"Reporting to Master." A middle-aged man following Chen Yue clasped his hands and said, "Except for Junior Brother Tan and Junior Sister Zhou, the others were beaten to death. Especially Junior Brother Chubby, he must have endured unprecedented torture before his death."

Chen Yue’s brow twitched, calmly asking, "What torture?"

The middle-aged man thought and said, "It should be simultaneous physical and mental torture."

Chen Yue was furious: "I’m asking what kind of torture!"

"Master, calm your anger!" The middle-aged man hastily knelt, saying in a hurried voice, "I am only guessing and do not dare to be certain. Some things are truly unspeakable!"

Chen Yue shouted: "Speak!"

"Yes."

The middle-aged man steeled himself and said, "Junior Brother Chubby’s limbs were all crippled, especially the third leg, almost reduced to pulp. Master, you know Junior Brother Chubby loved women in life. Seeing his furious and despairing expression before death, I speculate...

He saw something igniting desire, yet felt powerless to do anything, unbearably tormented and in pain, leading to suicide."

In simpler terms, it was like a eunuch watching a film, heart on fire but unable to act, a pain regular people couldn’t imagine. Thinking about it is enough to feel a fate worse than death.

Chen Yue could naturally grasp the meaning.

His brow furrowed: "Why say this?"

"Because when we found the corpses of our junior brothers and sisters, Junior Brother Chubby, Junior Brother Tan, and Junior Sister Zhou were found very close together. Junior Brother Tan and Junior Sister Zhou had no clothing, their bodies scarlet, obviously manipulated before death, losing all control, in front of Junior Brother Chubby...

In the end, Junior Brother Tan and Junior Sister Zhou, in an unconscious state, exerted themselves to death without any restraint..."

Chen Yue clenched his teeth, his face turning a twisted grayish hue with anger.

What kind of malice must there be to employ such vicious torture methods?

Simply...

Simply inhumane!

Chen Yue took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his volcanic rage, and asked again, "Who did it?"

"Ye Xuan."

The middle-aged man confirmed: "I investigated last night’s bar surveillance footage frequented by several junior brothers and sisters and found Ye Xuan among them. The last sighting was of them following Ye Xuan out of the bar. Those junior brothers and sisters are new and eager to prove themselves. Last night, encountering Ye Xuan, they likely harbored ill intentions, and so their cleverness was defeated by their cleverness..."
