Chapter 206: Chapter 203: Counterkill

The moment Tu Ba’s body had just crashed into the ground, a pair of massive claws from the Flood Dragon shattered the earth, seizing a shadow from the fractured zone and violently whipping it away.

Boom!

Tu Ba’s body was snatched up and then flung like a bullet toward a small mountain. Such a fierce impact caused the mountaintop to collapse inward, shattering to pieces. What was once a hilltop turned into a wasteland instantly.

Witnessing the Flood Dragon’s brutal method, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but smack his lips; now, this Tu Ba must be barely clinging to life, if not already dead.

"Deputy Sect Master!"

Seeing Tu Ba, who had been thrown into a small mountain and crushed it, Liu Sha also cried out in shock, his complexion quickly turning deathly pale. In front of this Flood Dragon, Tu Ba, with his Third Grade Martial Sect Cultivation, was like a three-year-old child, tossed around like a plaything. In just a few breaths, his life and death were unknown.

"Ye Xuan! How dare you kill the Earth Evil Sect’s Deputy Sect Master! Once word of this spreads, even if you are a True Disciple of the Heavenly Martial Hall, you will be held deeply accountable and unable to escape the united condemnation of the Six Great Sects—you’re doomed!"

Liu Sha howled desperately and then hurriedly turned around to flee at full speed.

"Capture him!"

Ye Xuan naturally wouldn’t let the tiger return to the mountain. Having decided to kill the two men, he wouldn’t leave any loopholes. Should Liu Sha escape, even if the two from Earth Evil Sect had ambushed him first, the story spread would surely not reflect that reality.

Ignoring Liu Sha, Ye Xuan simply walked to the rubble where Tu Ba lay. He fished out Tu Ba’s barely alive body from the debris.

"Little beast..."

Tu Ba had barely a breath left, but his eyes were filled with extreme venom, as if he would tear Ye Xuan to shreds if he had not been so gravely injured.

"Tu Ba, you’ve brought this on yourself, no one to blame for your fate. If your intentions had not been crooked, you wouldn’t have ended up like this."

Ye Xuan was in no mood for idle talk with Tu Ba. With one strike of his sword, he cleaved him in two. Then, with a grasp of his hand, a shiny Martial Arts Golden Core was snatched up.

Boom!

As Ye Xuan retrieved Tu Ba’s Martial Arts Golden Core, behind him, Liu Sha’s body too was heavily slammed onto the ground.

"Ye Xuan, it was Tu Ba who wanted to deal with you, not me. Please let me go, I assure you, I will keep today’s events a secret, I will not leak a single word!"

Thrown to the ground like a dying dog, Liu Sha also began to beg for mercy, but his pleas now clearly lacked any persuasive power.

Although Tu Ba deserved to die, Liu Sha was also quite the accomplice. If he hadn’t set sight on his target, he wouldn’t have pursued relentlessly all the way here.

"I’m sorry, but when it comes to dealing with treacherous scum like you, I have only one method."

Ye Xuan slowly walked up to Liu Sha, his eyes growing colder by the second. The Spiritual Edge Sword in his hand pressed against Liu Sha’s neck, "and that is to kill."

Splat!

With a flick of the sword, a spring of blood burst out. Liu Sha’s eyes bulged as his vitality swiftly dissipated, and he collapsed heavily to the ground.

"Kid, you really are ruthless enough. After all, these guys were members of the orthodox sects. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to kill them all?"

After both men were dealt with, the Flood Dragon looked at Ye Xuan with some surprise. Although Ye Xuan had also been decisive in killing before, it had always been against his enemies or people from the Black Demon Sect. This was the first time he had laid hands on someone from the Six Great Sects.

"I don’t care whether it’s the orthodox or the Demon Path, even if they’re from the Heavenly Martial Hall and try to plot against me, I won’t show the slightest mercy."

Ye Xuan wasn’t some noble hero from the Tiannan Region; he was a Heavenly Realm Martial God with a perspective many times broader than the average person. Orthodox or Demon Path, it was just a different method of cultivation to him—no significant distinction. Like Mu Yan, although she was a Demon General of the Black Demon Sect, as long as she obeyed him, he had no issue with her. As for despicable people like Tu Ba and Liu Sha, even if they belonged to the Earth Evil Sect, there was no need for mercy.

In his previous life in the Heavenly Realm, Ye Xuan had many experts who cultivated the Demon Path under his command, all serving him loyally. He valued capability, indifferent to the distinction between right and demon. In the Heavenly Realm, there were plenty of powerful experts who cultivated the Demon Path, with Demon Emperor and Demon God level individuals everywhere. By contrast, the Black Demon Sect in the Tiannan Region amounted to children’s play.

"Good kid, you truly stand out from the common crowd, with a unique vision."

The Flood Dragon nodded its head, its nature being to act on its own accord. If Ye Xuan had turned out to be a virtuous gentleman, it would’ve actually felt awkward. Now, hearing Ye Xuan speak in such a way, it was much more at ease. It had no idea that Ye Xuan possessed the vision of a Martial God, nothing that an ordinary person could compare to.

"We need to find a place to refine the Golden Cores of these two, you take care of cleaning up here and dispose of their bodies."

Ye Xuan assigned the task to the Flood Dragon then set off in a direction to find a place for his Cultivation, now that he had acquired the Martial Arts Golden Cores of Tu Ba and Liu Sha. Naturally, he wanted to find a place to cultivate and refine them first. If successful, his cultivation would undoubtedly advance by a large margin, given the immense power contained within the Third Grade Martial Sect Golden Cores, which surpassed various rare treasures.

Of course, not just anyone could refine the Martial Arts Golden Core of a Third Grade Martial Sect—it was too challenging for the average person, let alone for someone at the First Grade Martial Sect level. It required a lot of time and was highly inefficient.

But Ye Xuan was different. The True Qi he cultivated through the Hidden Dragon Skill was ten times purer than that of ordinary people. What was exceedingly difficult for others was not so for Ye Xuan.

A Third Grade Martial Sect’s Golden Core, in his hands, would be put to highly efficient use.

"Okay, leave it to me. Just don’t forget to give me those Demon Cores."

The Flood Dragon reminded Ye Xuan, then its large dragon eyes settled on the bodies of the two men. After piling them together, it breathed out a blast of scorching dragon flame, swiftly reducing the bodies to ashes.

After burning the bodies and subtly burying them for camouflage, the job was virtually flawless. Even if someone passed by that place, they wouldn’t notice anything out of the ordinary.

"Hey kid, wait for me."

After cleaning up the scene, the Flood Dragon turned its attention to Ye Xuan and called out loudly. In its heart, an idea emerged: maybe hanging around with this kid wouldn’t be as bad as it had thought. Perhaps in the future, following this kid might even lead it out of the Tiannan Region to the unknown outside world, to carve out an even more spectacular domain.
