Why did the Shang clan act now? It was simply because their previous attempt to assassinate Ye Wushuang had failed. The Shang clan could no longer tolerate the situation and decided to take a risky gamble. At least for now, things did not seem too dire. As long as Qing Xian and the others could not hold out, those early-stage Tiangang cultivators would be able to directly target Ye Wushuang. No matter how formidable Ye Wushuang was, he was still at the Yuanfu realm and could not possibly stand a chance against Tiangang cultivators. So, all they needed to do was to delay the situation.

However, both Liu Yingyue and Shang Gufeng had believed that the three of them, working together, could kill Ye Wushuang. Now, with Liu Yingyue’s life in Ye Wushuang’s hands, the situation had turned troublesome.

*”As if you would let me go even if I surrendered!”* Ye Wushuang sneered. *”At first, you sent your disciples to kill me. When that failed, you resorted to assassination. And when that failed too, what’s next? A full-scale war, right?”*

Xiao Ruonan was taken aback by these words.

*”This woman, she just won’t stop talking. I’ve endured her… enough is enough!”* Ye Wushuang tightened his grip on the Tian Ya Sword and said indifferently, *”Does she not realize that I dared to kill Liu Yiyu? Do I fear killing her any less?”*

As soon as Ye Wushuang finished speaking, the Tian Ya Sword sliced through Liu Yingyue’s neck with a *puh-chi* sound. Blood gushed out. But Ye Wushuang did not stop. The sword kept swiping across Liu Yingyue’s neck. The *grinding* sound sent shivers down everyone’s spine and filled them with dread.

From a distance, Qing Shiyu quickly covered Ye Feifei’s and Qing Yan’s eyes, not wanting them to witness the horror. The usual gentle and amiable Ye Wushuang was truly… brutal and bloodthirsty when it came to killing.

Ye Wushuang forcefully severed Liu Yingyue’s head and held it aloft. His white robe was now stained red with blood, and his hands were drenched in it. Xiao Ruonan, seeing this, was filled with terror and had lost all desire to fight.

*”Damn it!”* Xiao Ruonan wanted to flee. He looked at the Shang clan’s Yuanfu realm cultivators surrounding the arena and shouted, *”What are you all waiting for? Kill him!”*

The Yuanfu realm cultivators surrounding the arena were too terrified to move. *”Kill him!”* Shang Gufeng roared in anger. Only then did the Shang clan warriors rush forward in unison. They were all high-level cultivators, ranging from the fourth to the ninth tier of the Yuanfu realm, and they all charged at Ye Wushuang.

Ye Wushuang threw Liu Yingyue’s head away and looked at the crowd with a cold, arrogant gaze. *”Come at me!”* he challenged.

Boom… The arena erupted with thunderous roars. The Liu Yuan Gui Yi Sword Technique was wielded by Ye Wushuang with unparalleled mastery. Terrifying sword energy radiated in all directions. From time to time, Ye Wushuang would cast the Ling Jue—Rending Wind, which continuously claimed lives. In the blink of an eye, seven or eight corpses lay on the arena. Xiao Ruonan had already slipped away, taking advantage of the chaos. But… the entire Qingyun Academy was sealed off, and he could not escape. With no other choice, Xiao Ruonan had to join Qin Wenjun and Chu Yaqin.

*”I don’t want to die!”* Xiao Ruonan said, *”Ye Wushuang is a madman. He’s definitely going to die this time. I don’t want to sacrifice my life. I still want to participate in the Hundred Nations Martial Contest!”*

Qin Wenjun, seeing the terrified Xiao Ruonan, said, *”Xiao brother, come up!”* Xiao Ruonan quickly climbed up to the rooftop where Qin Wenjun and Chu Yaqin were. Even then, his whole body was trembling. Ye Wushuang was just too terrifying.

At that moment, on the arena, over a hundred Yuanfu realm cultivators were trying to kill Ye Wushuang, but… more of them were being killed by Ye Wushuang instead. This young man at the fifth tier of the Yuanfu realm could take the lives of cultivators from the fourth to the seventh tier with a single sword strike. As for those at the eighth and ninth tiers… it would just take a few more strikes.

Even Xiao Ruonan and Shang Gufeng, who were extremely powerful talents, could not stop Ye Wushuang. The Shang clan’s elite guards were even less capable of holding him back. Just as Xiao Ruonan had thought, although there were many of them, they were nothing more than cannon fodder.

Without a coordinated attack strategy, and unable to overwhelm Ye Wushuang all at once, they could only attack in small groups, which was futile. The only way to defeat Ye Wushuang would be to exhaust him, but that was nearly impossible!

Standing by the arena, Shang Gufeng watched in horror as Ye Wushuang fought his way through the encirclement of over a hundred Yuanfu realm cultivators, as if he were in a battlefield with no enemies.
