Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

Eleven members of the Ye Family had entered, but only seven returned. The other four had died in the Void Saber Tower.

Of the seven, only Ye Rou and Ye Dong were unscathed. The rest were all injured, especially Ye Cheng. A large, five-fingered handprint remained on his face, red and swollen, seeping blood.

At that moment, his expression was utterly dejected.

Even though he wielded the Spirit Communication Treasure, the Profound Spirit Warhammer, with combat power approaching the Qi Vortex Ninth Layer, he had been toyed with and utterly crushed by Ye Wushuang, powerless to fight back.

Only now did he realize that his pride and confidence had been turned into a complete joke before the very Ye Wushuang he had once disdained.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the Ye Family’s young geniuses, the crowd seemed to guess what had happened. Their expressions shifted as they stared at Ye Wushuang in utter shock.

Of course, no one was more shocked than Ouyang Badao.

He couldn’t believe it. ’Ye Wushuang entered the eighth floor and wasn’t killed by the True Essence Ninth Layer ancestor?’

"They’re all dead, Patriarch! They’re all dead!" As Ouyang Badao stared darkly at Ye Wushuang, a terrified voice answered the question in his heart.

"What do you mean, ’all dead’?" Ouyang Badao whipped his head around. Seeing Ouyang Xuan and Ouyang Lin approach, his sinister gaze darkened.

"Patriarch, Ouyang Hao and the ancestor were both killed by Ye Wushuang! He seized the City Lord’s Order!" Ouyang Xuan reported, still shaken as he recounted what he had seen. He wouldn’t have believed it himself if he hadn’t seen the ancestor’s corpse.

"Impossible!" Ouyang Badao’s expression changed at his words, his mind racing to deny it.

"Patriarch, Ye Wushuang is too terrifying," Ouyang Lin added gravely from the side. "He has some means of killing True Essence cultivators." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

They had witnessed Ye Wushuang’s growth firsthand.

Previously, in front of the Divine Temple in the Endless Wilderness, they had personally witnessed his ability to slaughter Qi Vortex Sixth Layer cultivators as if they were dogs.

And now, after such a short time, they had once again witnessed him effortlessly cleave their number one genius, Ouyang Hao, to death with a single strike.

His terrifying combat power left them feeling utterly helpless, as if Ye Wushuang were a great mountain pressing down on their hearts, suffocating them.

With the truth confirmed, Ouyang Badao’s heart trembled violently. His resolve to kill solidified, and an infinite killing intent began to spread, causing the air to turn so cold that everyone from the Ouyang Family couldn’t help but shiver.

"My Hao’er is dead, and the ancestor is dead... Ye Wushuang, you have completely ruined my Ouyang Family!" Ouyang Badao’s eyes filled with hatred as a ferocious killing intent erupted from his body.

"You damn beast, I’ll have your life for this!"

With a furious roar, Ouyang Badao shot forward. He threw a punch across the distance, unleashing a torrent of True Essence. The resulting shockwave churned the air, and his tyrannical Fist Force tore through the void itself.

BOOM!

The endless True Essence surged toward Ye Wushuang like a great sea, threatening to obliterate him into a bloody mist.

Meanwhile, Luo Xun also seized the opportunity to strike. A True Essence Palm Seal materialized, blotting out the sky and causing the void to collapse. It descended upon Ye Wushuang like an incomparably massive Ancient Mountain, intending to crush him completely.

The attack was so sudden that no one in the grand plaza had time to react.

Two Patriarchs were attacking together to kill Ye Wushuang!

Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed, unleashing two cold glints of light. His Void Saber Intent was already brewing, filling the surrounding area. The air grew heavy with a grim, murderous aura.

"Two Patriarchs, ganging up to ambush a junior? You are truly shameless!" Before Ye Wushuang could even make a move, a tall, burly figure had already stepped in front of him.

It was Ye Xuan.

Right now, his eyes blazed with a fury that seemed to scorch the very heavens.

BOOM!

An immense cold light flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes, and he looked like a man possessed. He raised one hand to the sky. A blue sphere of light emerged from his palm, transforming into a Heaven-Reaching Light Pillar that shot upward, spanning the heavens and earth with world-shattering killing power.

Endless True Essence permeated the sky. The blue True Essence Light blazed across the firmament, dyeing the sky above the grand plaza a brilliant azure.

Before Luo Xun’s Palm Seal could even descend, the blue pillar of light pierced through it with irresistible force. Cracks spread like a spiderweb across the True Essence Palm, and in an instant, it disintegrated into terrifying shockwaves.

Luo Xun’s face paled. He retreated hastily, landing back among the Luo Family’s ranks.

"You can get back, too!"

Seeing Ouyang Badao still charging, Ye Xuan shot him a cold glare and swatted forward with his other hand.

Instantly, a gale raged, forming two terrifying storms of True Essence that enveloped Ouyang Badao’s dreadful Fist Force and sent him flying backward.

THUMP THUMP THUMP!

Ouyang Badao stumbled back several steps, his feet stamping deep pits into the ground!

Both men were utterly stunned. They never expected Ye Xuan’s strength to be so formidable. This was not the Patriarch Ye they thought they knew.

"Ye Xuan, your son has a venomous heart and uses cruel methods! He used the competition as an opportunity to slaughter the geniuses of our two families, and still you shelter him! What are your intentions? Today, I will have vengeance for everyone who died tragically at his hands!"

Ouyang Badao’s furious question boomed like thunder, exploding across the plaza with a deafening roar.

"Hmph. A venomous heart?" Ye Wushuang stepped forward with a derisive sneer. "Ouyang Badao, to monopolize Blood Jade City, you sent a True Essence Ninth Layer ancestor to guard the eighth floor and slaughter any disciples who made it that far. You were even prepared to use Ouyang Hao to execute all of us. A heart like yours deserves to be condemned. Don’t you find it laughable and utterly shameless for you to utter those words?"

"You’re spewing baseless slander!" Ouyang Badao roared, refusing to admit it. The killing intent in his eyes only intensified.

"Baseless slander?" Ye Wushuang sneered. "Or would it stop being slander if I brought out the corpse of your Ouyang Family ancestor?"

"You damn beast! You kill and show no remorse! You deserve to die!"

Ouyang Badao charged forward again, unable to restrain his urge to kill.

Ye Xuan moved in response, his own killing intent no weaker than Ouyang Badao’s. ’They dared to try and kill my son right in front of me? We’ll see who deserves to die!’

"Ye Xuan, are you declaring war?" The Ouyang Family Elders also seized the opportunity to surge forward, preparing devastating attacks as they charged at Ye Xuan.

Without another word, Ye Xuan soared into the sky, positioning himself in the void to look down upon the group of Elders.

Immediately, he slammed both palms downward. Two Heaven-Covering Hands, like a pair of blue mountains, descended to crush them.

"This is... True Essence Seventh Layer!" Feeling the power radiating from Ye Xuan, the Elders’ faces changed drastically. Terrified, they scrambled to retreat.

"You think you can retreat? You think you can attack me and get away with it? Do you take me, Ye Xuan, for some pushover?"

A flash of killing intent crossed Ye Xuan’s face as he ruthlessly pressed the Palm Seals downward.

"Ye Xuan, stop! Otherwise, the Ouyang Family will fight you to the death!"

Seeing this, Ouyang Badao let out a furious roar.

"One more word out of you, and I’ll kill you too!" Ye Xuan’s cold voice replied as the two Palm Seals slammed down. They instantly crushed the charging Ouyang Family Elders, whose aged bodies immediately exploded into a shower of blood and gore. A mist of blood filled the air, and the stench of Blood Qi soared to the heavens.

Everyone’s hearts trembled, stunned by Ye Xuan’s domineering power.

At the same time, the incomparably powerful Ye Xuan, looking like an invincible god of war, backhanded the charging Ouyang Badao and sent him flying once more.

’How can Ye Xuan be this powerful? What in the world did that father and son discover?’

The two men steadied themselves and stood still, a deep sense of dread toward Ye Xuan’s power filling their hearts.

"Let’s go!"

After a moment’s hesitation, they both realized that if they stayed, they would be the ones to die. They gritted their teeth, gave a signal, and turned to leave with their families in tow.

Seeing them retreat, Ye Xuan finally lowered his hands. He let out a cold snort before walking over to Ye Wushuang.

But at that very moment, the situation changed abruptly. Ouyang Badao, who had been about to leave, suddenly spun around. He threw a punch carrying a vast amount of True Essence straight at Ye Xuan. The attack was so unexpected that no one could react in time—not even Ye Xuan himself!
