The Shang clan had always kept a close eye on the elderly servant Ye He, who was by Ye Wushuang’s side. They were aware that Ye He had previously been at the initial stage of the Tiangang realm. However, to their astonishment, he had now advanced to the late stage of the Tiangang realm. Even more shocking was the fact that this elderly servant, now in the late stage, possessed such formidable strength!

Despite their combined efforts, they were unable to subdue him. This was truly a terrifying development.

On the other side, Qing Xian, accompanied by a dozen or so Tiangang realm cultivators from the Qingyun Pavilion, was holding off three to four dozen Tiangang realm powerhouses from the Shang clan. With Qing Xian, a cultivator at the seventh level of the Tiangang realm, leading the charge, there had been no casualties thus far. However, Qing Xian was well aware that if this situation dragged on, the outcome would be uncertain.

On the arena, Ye Wushuang was locked in a fierce battle with the three great talents: Liu Yingyue, Shang Gufeng, and Xiao Ruonan. At this moment, cultivators at the Yuanfu realm could not possibly intervene. Any hasty move would only backfire.

“Die!” Shang Gufeng suddenly roared, lunging at Ye Wushuang’s head with his spear while Ye Wushuang was just shaking off Xiao Ruonan.

“Humph!” Sensing Shang Gufeng’s attack, Ye Wushuang let out a cold snort. Within his body, he abruptly condensed numerous Tai Xu sword energies, turning around to strike back at Shang Gufeng.

Seeing an opportunity, Liu Yingyue struck again. Ye Wushuang showed no mercy, sending her reeling with a single sword thrust. He then turned his gaze to Liu Yingyue, his eyes filled with a cold, murderous intent. “Since I entered the academy, you’ve been the loudest. Do you think I won’t kill you just because you’re a woman?”

“Today, I’ll cut off your head first!” Ye Wushuang took a step forward, leaping into the air, and lunged at Liu Yingyue.

Liu Yingyue, who had been forced back by Ye Wushuang, realized she was no match for him and her face turned pale. At that moment, Xiao Ruonan’s attack was already incoming.

“Get out of the way!” Ye Wushuang roared, his left hand forming a finger thrust, pointing directly at Xiao Ruonan. With a move named “Finger Splitting the Wind,” his finger seemed to tear through the air, reaching Xiao Ruonan and blocking his attack.

Without pausing, Ye Wushuang drove his sword forward, aiming at Liu Yingyue. With a move called “Breaking Yin and Yang,” he shattered all of Liu Yingyue’s defenses. Sword energies surged towards her body.

*Pant, pant…* Several sword energies pierced through Liu Yingyue’s body, drawing blood. Ye Wushuang was already closing in.

“Shattered Star Cloud!” He swung his sword again, the sword energy howling. *Thud, thud, thud…* Liu Yingyue was now bleeding profusely from all over her body.

Shang Gufeng was currently blocked by the Tai Xu sword energies and could not get close to Ye Wushuang. Xiao Ruonan, having deflected Ye Wushuang’s attack, hurriedly moved to assist Liu Yingyue. After all, she was his fiancée.

“Ye Wushuang, stop!” Seeing that he couldn’t reach her in time, Xiao Ruonan shouted angrily, “Don’t kill her. I’ll take her away. It was the Shang clan that wanted to kill you today, not my Xiao clan or the Liu clan.”

However, Ye Wushuang paid no heed and drove his sword right up to the injured Liu Yingyue. Liu Yingyue, with a look of resentment, swung her fist at Ye Wushuang.

“Get out of the way!” Ye Wushuang kicked out with his foot. *Boom!* Liu Yingyue’s body was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground and spewing out large amounts of blood.

Ye Wushuang then placed his sword right at Liu Yingyue’s neck. Xiao Ruonan’s face turned ugly, and he stopped immediately.

“Ye Wushuang, I’m telling you the truth. My Xiao clan and the Liu clan have not made a move. This is the Shang clan’s decision.”

At this moment, Ye Wushuang grabbed Liu Yingyue’s long hair, the Tian Ya sword pressing against her pale neck. He ignored Xiao Ruonan completely. Looking down at Liu Yingyue, Ye Wushuang said coldly, “The five great clans united to wipe out my Ye clan. Since I began my martial cultivation, from the Qin clan to the Chu clan, and then to the Xiao clan, Liu clan, and Shang clan, you have all been aggressive and unyielding.”

“Now, you think I deserve to die?”

Liu Yingyue, feeling the cold edge of the Tian Ya sword and Ye Wushuang’s murderous intent, turned pale. “Xiao Ruonan, save me!”

“No one can save you.” Ye Wushuang’s voice was indifferent.

Seeing that Ye Wushuang truly intended to kill, Xiao Ruonan shouted, “Today, it was only the Shang clan that acted on its own. But if you kill her, the Liu clan will definitely intervene. Your painstakingly built Ye family will be completely destroyed!”

For the five great clans, Ye Wushuang was the root of all problems. If he were killed, the Ye family would collapse on its own. However, if the assassination failed and Ye Wushuang continued to kill indiscriminately, the five great clans would undoubtedly join forces to annihilate the Ye family. After all, the longer this dragged on, the stronger and more difficult to kill Ye Wushuang would become.
