As the sword’s deadly aura descended, Dongfang Yu immediately raised his hands, clenching them tightly. The power of the myriad laws within him surged incessantly, forming a blazing sun in an attempt to counter the sword’s formidable might.
**Clang!!!**
The moment the blazing sun had just taken shape, the sword’s aura struck it once more.
However, with a resounding clang, the sun shattered into pieces.
The colossal sword, unimpeded, fell directly down.
This time, Dongfang Yu had no means to resist.
*Pffft…*
The terrifying sword aura of the giant sword tore through Dongfang Yu’s body, splitting him in two.
The hundred-zhang sword aura, upon striking the earth, cleaved the vast mansion in half, leaving a trench hundreds of zhang deep in the ground.
Gazing at Dongfang Yu’s torn body, Ye Wushuang let out a cold snort, without a moment’s hesitation, turned around, and hurried to assist Ji Ou.
“Damn it, don’t run away!”
Ji Ou’s shouting could be heard at this moment.
“Xiao Ge, you cowardly wretch, you good-for-nothing!”
As Ye Wushuang approached Ji Ou, he asked, “Ji Ou, how are you?”
Ji Ou replied, “I’m fine. Xiao Ge can’t do anything to me. But as soon as you killed Dongfang Yu, that guy fled immediately.”
At this moment, within the mansion that had been battered by the battle, the other disciples of the Sacred Dan Sect had all vanished.
With Dongfang Yu dead, these disciples were no fools; they knew they couldn’t stand against Ye Wushuang and dared not linger any longer.
Many onlookers in the distance, witnessing this scene, were left agape.
Dongfang Yu had been killed by Ye Wushuang!
A mere second-tier cultivator of the Myriad Laws had slain a fourth-tier cultivator.
If it had been an ordinary fourth-tier cultivator, it would have been understandable.
But Dongfang Yu, a fourth-tier cultivator capable of defeating fifth and sixth-tier opponents—Ye Wushuang was simply ruthless!
Ji Ou also turned to Ye Wushuang and exclaimed in admiration, “Impressive, Ye! Dongfang Yu was the third most outstanding talent in the entire Sacred Dan Sect, only behind Sheng Feizhan and Sheng Feixia.”
“In other words, you are now undoubtedly among the top ten talents among the seven great overlord factions!”
Just a few months ago, Ye Wushuang was still comparable to the young prodigies participating in the Hundred Kingdoms Martial Contest. Now, he could already compete with the younger generation.
Such a rapid pace of progress was truly astonishing!
Moreover, the sword strike Ye Wushuang had just delivered was amplified by the sword’s momentum and artistic conception, not by sword intent.
At the age of seventeen,
His sword momentum had reached a subtle level!
This was undoubtedly a record-breaking achievement across the entire Qingzhou region.
Ye Wushuang then took the spatial ring from Dongfang Yu’s finger, gazing at the half-body of Dongfang Yu, and spoke slowly, “Since Dongfang Yu could be defeated by Sheng Feizhan and Sheng Feixia, he is not truly a prodigy.”
“A true prodigy, in just a month, might have already advanced from the initial second or third tier to the fifth or even sixth tier of the Myriad Laws.”
Hearing this, Ji Ou nodded in agreement while also clicking his tongue in amazement.
Ji Ou knew that his own talent was at best that of an elite, while prodigies… referred to people like Ye Wushuang and Qin Muyu.
Perhaps they could even be considered not quite human.
“Let’s head back!”
“Sure.”
After tidying up, the two prepared to return to the cyan light pillar they had been in earlier.
After such an intense battle, it was not suitable for them to head to the city center just yet. They needed to recover first.
Moreover, undoubtedly many people had witnessed this battle in secret. There must be quite a few who were now paying attention to the two of them. It was better to lay low for a while to avoid being targeted again.
The two figures retraced their steps.
After several turns and covering a distance of dozens of miles, they were already very close to the cyan light pillar. Suddenly, Ye Wushuang stopped in his tracks.
“What’s wrong, Ye?” Ji Ou asked, puzzled.
“There’s… the smell of blood…”
Immediately, Ji Ou nervously scanned the surroundings.
They were only ten zhang away from the cyan light pillar. The smell of blood… could it be…
The two cautiously approached, one wielding a sword and the other a knife, as they neared the light pillar.
Upon entering the mansion where the light pillar was located, Ji Ou’s eyes turned red, and Ye Wushuang’s expression trembled.
They quickened their pace and rushed into the light pillar.
Outside the pavilion, bodies lay scattered in all directions, many of them almost reduced to minced meat.
“Mu Zi Li!”
“Jiang Yihan!”
Ji Ou shouted, “Where are you?”
He dashed into the pavilion, searching for the two.
As Ye Wushuang walked, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
On the ground lay a corpse in a gruesome state, with hands and feet severed, and a sword slash from between the legs extending up to the abdomen, with flesh and blood churned up.
The figure’s eyes were wide open, mouth agape, staring at the sky.
Ye Wushuang slowly squatted down, gently closed the eyes, and murmured, “Yun Yin…”
When Ye Wushuang moved to the other side, he saw another familiar body. Although only the upper half of the corpse remained, Ye Wushuang recognized it as Gong Yangyan!
Before long, Ye Wushuang saw another half-body, with one eye staring lifelessly. He gently closed it and said in a dim tone, “Brother Jia…”
Walking around the pavilion, each corpse was in an extremely惨烈的状态。
Suddenly, a heart-wrenching scream from Ji Ou echoed from within the pavilion.
Ye Wushuang’s face turned cold, and he charged in with his sword…
