Chapter 156: Chapter 154: Where the Eyes Alight, There Lies the Bright Universe (Third Update)

"Heh heh, know of our reputation, do you? Hand over that storage bracelet and scram!" the leader Blood Evil burst into wild laughter.

Ye Zhen’s brow furrowed, "The Green-clothed Five Killers? Never heard of them! Scram now, while you still can!"

Hearing this, the Green-clothed Five Killers surrounding Ye Zhen and the other two all paused in unison, pointing at Ye Zhen and bursting into hearty laughter.

"Who is this, if not just some fledgling brat new to the scene!"

Ren Xihua made a strained motion with his throat and whispered to Ye Zhen, "Senior Brother Ye, these Green-clothed Five Killers are a notorious gang of thieves dominating the Four Countries of the Black Dragon Domain.

The leader, Blood Evil, is a bloodthirsty fanatic, said to have consumed human flesh and drunk human blood!"

"The second, Sex Fiend, can’t go a day without women. Any woman he sets his eyes on can’t escape his talons. It’s said that he once raped dozens of women from a single village in one night!"

"The third is known as Wealth Fiend, with a strong liking for gold and silver treasures. The fourth, Poison Evil, possesses poison arts so profound that even martial artists in the Spirit Transformation Realm have fallen to him, preferring to test his poisons on living humans.

As for the fifth, he’s referred to as Ghost Fiend, the most cruel and sadistic of them all. The slightest displeasure, and he will kill..."

With each introduction, Ye Zhen’s expression grew darker.

By the end, Ye Zhen unsheathed the Sky Crystal Sword with a clang, "A gang committing endless evils, today you’ve come, and none of you will leave!"

Both Han Shi and Ren Xihua rolled their eyes simultaneously; Ren Xihua’s introductions to Ye Zhen were all in vain.

Now, the Green-clothed Five Killers were stunned again, only to burst into deranged laughter soon after.

"Hahaha, what a spirited kid! I’ve decided, I must taste the blood of a kid with such a personality. Maybe it’s even tastier than a baby’s blood!" Blood Evil laughed heartily.

"You even slaughter infants!!" Ye Zhen’s eyes suddenly rounded in fury!

"Just right, time to test my new poison!"

The second Sex Fiend, keeping a straight face, eyed Ren Xihua and said, "This kid’s pretty clean. I haven’t touched a woman all day, using him as a substitute wouldn’t be bad!"

Ren Xihua’s face turned pale in an instant!

"Oh, we have another righteous hero here? Pah!"

"What of it if we’ve committed many evils? Countless evil people exist under heaven. Even if a hundred, no, a thousand heroes like you were to come at us, you couldn’t kill us all!" Ghost Fiend sneered at Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen’s demeanor, however, became unprecedentedly stern.

"You’re right; I can’t kill all the evil people in the world. But if I meet one, I will kill them. That way, there will be one less evil person under heaven. Wherever my gaze falls, that will be the bright expanse under heaven!"

At his side, both Ren Xihua and Han Shi were visibly moved, looking at Ye Zhen differently now.

Ren Xihua murmured in admiration, "Wherever the gaze falls, that will be the bright expanse under heaven! Senior Brother Ye, marvelous, such gallantry!"

Amidst their exclamations, Ye Zhen stepped out with the Chasing Star Step, and the sound of his Sword Gang slicing through the air resounded sharply. A strike of Bone-Piercing Winter Plum targeted Ghost Fiend.

"So ignorant of your own death! Boss, we must capture this kid alive and show him how rampant evil can flourish!" Ghost Fiend called out, and in their usual perfect coordination, the Green-clothed Five Killers moved instantaneously, with Wealth Fiend and Sex Fiend attacking Han Shi and Ren Xihua, respectively.

Ghost Fiend, Blood Evil, and Poison Evil blurred into motion, simultaneously pouncing toward Ye Zhen.

In a flash, the eight were embroiled in a chaotic battle.

It must be said that the Green-clothed Five Killers, notorious in the Four Countries, indeed possessed considerable strength, particularly Ghost Fiend who actually withstood a strike of Bone-Piercing Winter Plum from Ye Zhen, only stepping back half a pace!

Poison Evil’s attacks were particularly insidious, intermittently casting a cloud of black smoke overhead, aiming for Ye Zhen who fortunately was well-prepared and had stopped breathing through his mouth and nose well in advance.

After just a few exchanges, Ye Zhen was already on the back foot, forced to retreat again and again!

"Hey, kid, weren’t you quite cocky just now? Why so silent all of a sudden?"

"What was that about wherever your gaze falls, under heaven will be bright and clear? Pah!"

"You’ll kill every evil person you encounter? Well now, I, as one of those evil ones, will be the end of you! No, we’ll capture you alive and torment you for three days and three nights!" Blood Evil roared with laughter.

"Is that so?"

A fierce light suddenly flashed across Ye Zhen’s lips.

With a thought, he released the Hidden Truth Technique, allowing his Mid-stage Spirit Summoning cultivation to surge forth in full force.

The sudden elevation of Ye Zhen’s cultivation drew everyone’s attention, but through all of this, Ren Xihua and Han Shi were too preoccupied with their adversaries to care.

"Interesting. So, you were concealing your cultivation. But do you think there’s a difference between Early-stage Spirit Summoning and Mid-stage Spirit Summoning?" Ghost Fiend scoffed.

"Who says there isn’t?" Ye Zhen replied confidently, his mouth brimming with self-assurance.

To the ordinary observer, one individual fighting alone against three Late-stage Spirit Summoning martial artists, whether that person’s cultivation was at the Early or Mid-stage Spirit Summoning, made no difference.

But for Ye Zhen, it was not the same.

For Ye Zhen, with Early-stage Spirit Summoning cultivation, utilizing a move from the Wind Cloud Sword Art would leave him utterly drained. Yet with Mid-stage Spirit Summoning cultivation, the swell of Spiritual Power was tremendous.

This abundant Spiritual Power allowed Ye Zhen to unleash the Wind Cloud Sword Art twice!

"Ghost Claw World Destroyer!"

"Blood Saber Slash!"

"One Yang Poison Finger!"

As their shouts rang out, blade shadows, claw shadows, and a glowing poison Gang all converged on Ye Zhen at once.

Dodging the One Yang Poison Finger with a step of the Chasing Star Step, he parried Blood Evil’s Blood Saber Slash with a sword strike while Ghost Fiend’s claw shadow landed heavily on the vital spot of Ye Zhen’s back.

"Die for me!" Ghost Fiend exclaimed in great delight.

In an instant, Ye Zhen’s Hundred Stacked True Qi glowed brightly, taking the full brunt of Ghost Fiend’s Ghost Claw attack. Although it seemed on the verge of shattering, it did not inflict any harm on Ye Zhen!

This scene left Ghost Fiend stupefied.

Practically as he took on the combined killing moves of the three, a terrifying Sword Momentum began to rise from Ye Zhen’s form!

"Not good!"

Blood Evil roared out, "Be careful, finish this brat off quickly!"

"Too late!"

With a fierce shout, the sword momentum rose, and layers of sword light, like a wind sweeping away clouds, slashed towards Poisonous Evil Spirit. Poisonous Evil Spirit’s poison was too strange, he must be the first to be eliminated!

"Old Fourth!"

The instant Blood Evil and Ghost Fiend both shouted fiercely, their figures shot out like lightning, actually trying to use this opportunity to severely injure or even kill Ye Zhen.

Whoosh!

The Wind Cloud Sword Technique, driven by Ye Zhen’s mid-stage Spirit Summoning cultivation, was extremely terrifying in its own right. Now, under the enhancement of Ye Zhen’s Sky Crystal Sword and Sword Vein Divine Power, its might had been raised to a shocking degree.

Like a cyclone, the sword light rolled past, and without even a grunt, Poisonous Evil Spirit’s flesh and blood vanished entirely, leaving only a skeleton, from which poisonous smoke was still emanating!

It was also at the moment of Poisonous Evil Spirit’s death that Blood Evil and Ghost Fiend attacked Ye Zhen from both sides.

This time, Blood Evil and Ghost Fiend unleashed their full strength, especially Blood Evil, whose cultivation power burst forth, vaguely exhibiting strength fluctuations nearing the peak of Spirit Summoning!

"Blood Blade Annihilation God!"

"Ghost Claw Piercing Heart, die, bastard!"

As Old Fourth, Poisonous Evil Spirit, died tragically, Blood Evil and Ghost Fiend both glared and roared furiously!

The all-out attacks of Blood Evil and Ghost Fiend were absolutely terrifying. Ye Zhen estimated that even facing them with his Hundred Stacked True Qi, he’d be finished!

In a critical moment, Ye Zhen exerted strength from his waist, his upper body abruptly leaning to dodge Blood Evil’s Blood Blade Annihilation God move, but Ghost Fiend’s Ghost Claw Piercing Heart followed relentlessly, aimed straight at Ye Zhen’s heart.

"Damn you, die!"

The shadow-like Ghost Fiend rushing to kill appeared in Ye Zhen’s line of sight.

Without any hesitation, Ye Zhen’s True Essence in the Dantian surged powerfully!

Pop, pop, pop, pop....

Like firecrackers going off, the sounds of all the acupoint joints throughout Ye Zhen’s body opening resonated together.

Pff!

The instant Ghost Fiend’s Ghost Claw Piercing Heart touched Ye Zhen’s chest, a Qi Sword suddenly burst forth from Ye Zhen’s mouth unexpectedly.

Hunyuan One Qi!

Bang!

Ghost Fiend, who had never anticipated that such a mighty weapon would shoot out from Ye Zhen’s mouth, was directly pierced through the brain by Ye Zhen’s Hunyuan One Qi, and Ghost Claw Piercing Heart, which was about to claim Ye Zhen’s life, dissipated.

Blood Evil was instantly stunned!

This turn of events was too abrupt!

One moment Ye Zhen was in grave danger, and the next, of the three brothers attacking him, only he was left!

He was stunned, but Ye Zhen was still caught in a highly dangerous combat rhythm.

The moment he killed Ghost Fiend with Hunyuan One Qi, Ye Zhen took a step back with Chasing Star Step, and a terrifyingly intense sword momentum once again rose from him.

Blood Evil remembered, it was this terrifying sword momentum that had reduced Old Fourth, Poisonous Evil Spirit, to a skeleton with a single strike.

Even though his cultivation was a tad higher than Old Fourth, Poisonous Evil Spirit’s, it was only a tad.

Almost simultaneously, Wealth Fiend and Sex Fiend, who were fighting a fierce battle against Han Shi and Ren Xihua, also let out screams of agony.

The disciples on the Heavenly List of the Qiyun Sect were not to be underestimated, especially the top ten!

How could they compare to these bandits wandering the Jianghu?

In a one-on-one situation, it wouldn’t take long for the victor to emerge!

"Damn it! Retreat!"

With a strange cry, Blood Evil, the leader of the Green-clothed Five Killers, soared into the air and fled without looking back.

"Thinking of escaping? Too late!"

The sword momentum continued unabated, and a move of Wind Sweeps Away Clouds was rapidly unleashed.

Almost the instant Wind Sweeps Away Clouds was launched, an extremely dangerous sensation rose in Ye Zhen’s heart.

A thunderclap-like sword light slashed out from the void, aimed at Ye Zhen’s back!

"Ye Zhen, die!"

"Luv Congfei!" Ye Zhen roared angrily!

Now, Ye Zhen only had two choices: one was to hastily turn to face the sneak attack from Luv Congfei, which, undoubtedly, would allow Blood Evil, the chief amongst the Green-clothed Five Killers, to escape unscathed.

The second was for Ye Zhen to continue attacking Blood Evil, but he might suffer serious injuries, or even death!

Without any hesitation, Ye Zhen chose the latter!

A scoundrel like Blood Evil, who didn’t even spare infants, must be slain. If let go today, who knew how many people would suffer in the future!

Completely ignoring the sword light attacking from behind by Luv Congfei, Ye Zhen’s Wind Cloud Sword Stance was unforgivingly unleashed.

The cyclone-like sword light instantly swept across Blood Evil, who had just started to rise!

With a sizzling sound, Blood Evil’s face, which had just shown a hint of relief, was immediately riddled with hundreds of blood holes, dying on the spot!

Almost at the same time, Luv Congfei’s sword light viciously struck Ye Zhen’s back.

Instantly, Ye Zhen’s Hundred Stacked True Qi was torn apart by Luv Congfei, and just as the sword was about to pierce into Ye Zhen’s back, Ye Zhen’s body bizarrely rose half a foot.

Luv Congfei’s supposed lethal sword missed its mark, but it still opened a large wound on Ye Zhen’s back, from which blood spurted wildly.

With a light exclamation, Luv Congfei, who had succeeded in his sneak attack, followed like a shadow, releasing a whip-like Sword Gang, intent on ending Ye Zhen’s life on the spot!

At the same moment, Ye Zhen roared furiously! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
