Ye Chu did not speak. His fingers moved, and his entire aura suddenly changed. Patterns appeared on his body, and the power within his body erupted, condensing at Ye Chu’s fingertips.
His concept shook unceasingly, merging into his fingertips. Ye Chu became completely sharp and exposed, standing there with fierce intensity. A terrifying aura shot straight to the heavens, scattering the clouds, while sword cries shook without cease.
A terrifying killing intent surged out, causing the surrounding temperature to drop. Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
“Sword Annihilation!”
Ye Chu shouted. His concept locked onto a cultivator, sharpness gathering at his fingertips. A sword beam shot out, fast as a whistling gale, tearing through the air.
Where it passed, space left a deep mark, and between the marks, patterns flashed.
When Ye Chu struck out, his face also paled somewhat. His entire body’s concept erupted. Ye Chu seemed to transform into an ordinary person, everything within his body condensing onto that sword beam.
Once the sword beam emerged, it carried a concept beyond everyone’s imagination, locking onto a King.
One of the Kings’ expressions changed drastically. His body retreated frantically, but no matter how he fled, his speed was far inferior to the shooting sword beam. That sharp concept locked onto him, and he felt as if he had entered an ice cellar. He watched helplessly as the sword beam pierced his body, passing straight through him, then striking the stone wall behind him.
“Bang…” This sword landed on the stone wall. The wall collapsed, directly exploding and crumbling, while boulders continuously rolled down. The might of one sword was fully displayed, possessing the power to split mountains and shatter seas.
Blood flowed from the King’s body, dyeing his chest red. His face was terrified, and he fell to the ground unwillingly.
This scene made all cultivators look at Ye Chu in horror. No one dared to act rashly. A King had actually fallen just like this, pierced by one sword.
Thinking of that sword, like a long rainbow piercing the sun, a chill emerged in their hearts.
Ji Die also stared at Ye Chu, looking at the corpse on the ground, her heart carrying some shock. The bearing of that sword just now was like divine might.
“Those who want the Sacred Liquid, come!” Ye Chu stared at the crowd. Though his voice was not loud, wherever his gaze passed, they could not help but step back.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chu snorted coldly. He looked toward the other King. “If you do not wish to die, then clear a path for this young master!”
Ye Chu’s rebuke made the remaining King involuntarily retreat several steps, opening a position for Ye Chu. But immediately his face flushed red. This was an immense humiliation. A dignified King, also an outstanding talent of a region, yet he was rebuked into retreating.
But though his face burned, he did not dare to show a hostile gaze toward Ye Chu. This person was too strong, stronger than he had anticipated. That peerless sword beam, even two of him could not block it.
He truly could not understand. This was a Xuan Ming Realm expert, yet the might of that sword was several times more terrifying than a King.
Ye Chu snorted, then looked toward Ji Die. This woman was still graceful and charming, standing there with a delicate and graceful figure, her temperament cold and elegant, like a goddess.
Ye Chu thought for a moment, then took out two bottles of Sacred Liquid and handed them to Ji Die. “Regarding what happened back then, I am very sorry. These two bottles of Sacred Liquid shall serve as an apology gift!”
Ji Die looked at the jade bottle being offered, her pupils suddenly contracting. She stared fixedly at Ye Chu, but saw his expression was calm, his face indifferent. “A sincere apology, absolutely no other meaning!”
Ye Chu’s words nearly made Ji Die spit out in anger. If he truly wanted to apologise, how could he give her Sacred Liquid in front of so many people? Obviously, this fellow wanted to use her to absorb hatred, wanting her to share his pressure.
She had to admit, this fellow was clever. Though he was powerful, the cultivators on the Tianjiao Road were numerous. If all eyes were fixed on him, even he would have a headache.
Now that he had given her a portion, she naturally had to share half the firepower. Ji Die knew clearly that Ye Chu had ill intentions, but in the end she still could not resist the temptation of the Sacred Liquid, reaching out to accept it.
Ye Chu snickered inwardly, but his face remained indifferent. Looking at Ji Die, he said, “Our grudge ends here!”
Ji Die’s beautiful eyes stared at Ye Chu. After a long while, she said, “One year from today, I will be lying on the bed. I hope by then, you will have the ability to do what you said. At that time, I will show no mercy, and will prepare the knife.”
This baffling remark made Ye Chu stunned. He looked at Ji Die strangely, thinking, what does this woman mean by this? Suddenly mentioning the bed, could she have been moved by his peerless charm?
Ye Jingyun was however holding back laughter beside him, striving not to let herself laugh out loud. Seeing Ye Chu standing there in a daze, she feared exposure and quickly said, “Ye Chu, the blood you wanted!”
Ye Chu accepted it. This was Ji Die’s blood, her blood was extraordinary, the blood of an outstanding person, far superior to others’ by many times.
Ye Jingyun saw that Ye Chu had indeed been diverted from the topic, and snickered inwardly. She thought, you think only you, brat, know how to play dirty? This young lady knows how to as well.
Ye Chu did not greet Yang Hui and Yang Ning, fearing he would implicate the two girls. He cast a glance at Yang Hui and Yang Ning, then his body shot toward the outside.
Ji Die swept a glance at the people showing heated gazes toward her, snorted coldly, and stood in place without moving. “You think that because you cannot deal with him, you can take advantage of me?”
Ji Die struck out. Her fingers moved, and a flower shot out, heading straight for the remaining King. This flower’s light shook as it emerged. This King’s expression changed drastically, but wanting to resist, the next instant it landed on him. He almost did not even have the chance to scream before his body directly exploded, turning into a rain of blood that drifted down.
The numerous cultivators who had originally harboured designs on Ji Die retreated frantically one by one, looking at Ji Die in terror, their scalps going numb.
“Where did these two monsters come from!” The crowd was terrified in their hearts. Killing Kings like slaughtering pigs and dogs, this…
Returning again to the dark place from just now, Yang Ning and Yang Hui sensibly followed secretly.
“The Sacred Liquid is on me. This journey will likely be a road of blood. You two girls must not fight with others. Complete the Tianjiao Road. Here are two bottles of Sacred Liquid, take them to consume. They can make your talent soar. On the Tianjiao Road, if you do not contend for anything, self-preservation should not be a problem.” Ye Chu spoke to the two girls, taking out two bottles of Sacred Liquid to give them.
After speaking, Ye Chu did not dare stay with the two girls too long. His figure leaped, heading toward the cave exit.
…
Ji Die slew a King. No one dared to act against her. She looked coldly at the group and said, “Whoever has the courage, come take it!”
Ji Die stepped forward, walking toward the outside. Ye Jingyun walked shoulder to shoulder with Ji Die. Looking around, she discovered that Ye Chu’s shadow was already gone, which made Ye Jingyun curse. She had not yet asked Ye Chu to hand over a bottle of Sacred Liquid!
