Chapter 277: Chapter 274: Brawl

On a mountain peak some distance away from the battlefield, a large group of people in purple robes stood. At this moment, they were all somewhat moved as they watched the life-and-death struggle before them, their pupils reflecting a constant stream of crimson light.

"What a fierce slaughter..." Among the crowd from the Mist Sea, someone couldn’t help but sigh. Even though they were aware of the grudge between Xuanbing Mansion and Evil Wind Cave Heaven, they were still shocked when they saw the two Sects’ disciples fighting to the death.

"Xuanbing Mansion and Evil Wind Cave Heaven have always had deep-rooted conflicts that aren’t easily resolved, but watching them fight is also interesting. Regardless of who loses or wins, it doesn’t concern us from the Mist Sea. On the contrary, we can just watch the battle unfold and hope both sides suffer." At the front of the purple-robed figures, a young man carrying a golden longbow watched the battle zone, a slight smile on his face.

This young man was one of the two Saint Heirs of the Mist Sea, the Golden Arrow Saint. The other, called the Silver Spear Saint, was not leading the disciples of the Mist Sea this time, but instead, it was the Holy Daughter, Yu Wuxin.

"You think too highly of the people from Xuanbing Mansion. Whether it’s the overall strength of the disciples or the top combat power, Xuanbing Mansion is no match for Evil Wind Cave Heaven. The outcome will inevitably see Evil Wind Cave Heaven prevailing," remarked the Silver Spear Saint nearby.

"That’s true. The so-called four great disciples of Xuanbing Mansion, only Qin Qi has decent strength, the other three are just average. Nangong Yao, who has the Xuanyin Body, seems to have not yet matured. This battle, it’s difficult for Xuanbing Mansion not to be defeated," a disciple from the Mist Sea nodded.

Standing at the front of the group, Yu Wuxin did not say a word and just quietly watched the fight not far ahead. However, she shifted slightly because the person from Xuanbing Mansion who seemed a bit unusual, did not seem to be in the group.

But it was just a brief moment of distraction before Yu Wuxin continued to look forward, where the battlefield was extremely gruesome. The disciples from Xuanbing Mansion were also gradually suffering casualties. The screams were distinctly spreading, and this place was not about competition or sparring — it was a real battlefield.

Once defeated, the only outcome was death.

At this moment, a hundred miles away from this location, a figure was dashing rapidly, swiftly approaching.

The figure was Ye Xuan, who by following the clues left by Qin Qi and the others, had finally arrived at this basin.

"It seems Yaoer and the others are over there."

Ye Xuan looked up at the sky, noticing the sky phenomena in the center of the basin, his pupils slightly contracting. The atmosphere there was abnormally oppressive, as if something was about to emerge.

Swoosh!

With a gust of wind under his feet, Ye Xuan disappeared from the spot, dashing forward at high speed.

In the center of the basin, amidst the battle ring, the sounds of fighting still thundered.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The fierce Qi Force continuously collided together, causing the ground to crack, stirring up dust and rocks, making the heavens and earth dim.

"Pretty lady, being so fierce is not good."

In the crowd, Sikong Xin - who was engaged in combat with Nangong Yao because Li Ziting had already been injured and could not stand against the "Barbarian Demon" Tuoba Ye - soon went to aid the latter, leaving Nangong Yao to fight Sikong Xin alone.

The disciples of Evil Wind Cave Heaven overwhelmed with extremely fierce momentum. Although the disciples of Xuanbing Mansion were also strong, they were overall being suppressed.

Even though Nangong Yao had improved strength and the aid of the Xuanyin Body, facing one of the two strongest from Evil Wind Cave Heaven, Sikong Xin, she was still not a match. Moreover, Sikong Xin, a man who had killed countless people, had long condensed a thick killing aura that when released during combat, had a significant deterrent effect.

In front of Sikong Xin, Nangong Yao could only manage to temporarily restrain him. As time passed, she was increasingly struggling.

"The Xuanyin Body is just so-so. It’s about time I finished toying with you," Sikong Xin’s eyes flashed an impatient glint, and then his gaze sharply intensified. Stepping forward, countless ghastly wailing noises suddenly arose as a towering dark gray aura condensed, emanating an extremely dazzling light from his body.

"Demon Ghost Ten Layers!"

As the shout fell, Sikong Xin himself suddenly burst forth, his figure turning into a blurry black shadow, and as he surged forth, his figure multiplied into ten shadows that launched an all-encompassing attack on Nangong Yao.

"Frost Absolute Heavens!"

Nangong Yao, forced into a corner, could only activate the Xuanyin Body, sending out tides of purple Sword Qi, seemingly freezing all the air within the area.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Those shadows, one after another upon contact with the sea of Sword Qi, were also frozen and then exploded, but among them, two shadows broke through the constraints, shattered the ice on them, and their successive moves struck Nangong Yao.

Spurt!

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, her delicate body was blasted away, and Nangong Yao’s pretty face turned pale.

Sikong Xin’s gaze was ice-cold as he looked at the injured Nangong Yao, smirking grimly. Clenching his hand, a short sword appeared, and a fierce sword light burst forth, shooting straight at Nangong Yao’s throat, clearly intending to destroy a flower.

In fact, among the four great disciples of Xuanbing Mansion, Evil Wind Cave Heaven feared not Qin Qi but Nangong Yao since her potential was enormous. In a short period of time, her cultivation had approached that of him and Xue Wuheng. If allowed to continue growing, surpassing the two of them was just a matter of time.

To eliminate this possibility, killing Nangong Yao now would certainly avert all future troubles.

Thump!

However, when the sword light was still several meters away from Nangong Yao, there suddenly came a tearing sound through the air, and a tremendous Qi Force from afar surged forward and intercepted the sword light.

"Junior Sister Nangong, retreat quickly!"

The person who intervened was Qin Qi. Seeing Nangong Yao in danger, her expression changed drastically, and she was forced to take action. If anything happened to Nangong Yao, it would undoubtedly be a severe blow to the Xuanbing Mansion.

"You should take care of yourself first."

As Qin Qi’s words fell, Xue Wuheng’s cold laughter rang out, and then his figure appeared in front of Qin Qi, punching her heavily in the chest.

Pfft!

Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and Qin Qi was immediately injured and staggered back several meters.

"Senior Sister Qin!"

Seeing Qin Qi hurt also changed the expressions of the Xuanbing Mansion disciples who were in the middle of a fierce battle. The opponent was the strongest among them—could it be that she was about to be defeated by Xue Wuheng?

Could it be that today, they were all going to perish here?

"Die!"

A cold light flashed in Sikong Xin’s eyes, and then the black short sword once again drew through the air, aiming at Nangong Yao’s neck.

As the cold light swiftly approached, reflected in her pupils, Nangong Yao gritted her teeth. However, just as she was about to risk her life, from afar, a sword Qi that seemed to come from beyond the heavens suddenly struck across the air. Even though hundreds of meters away, it locked onto Sikong Xin and shot furiously at him.

"Uh?"

Faced with this sudden sword Qi, Sikong Xin’s expression changed. He quickly stopped his attack, his figure abruptly halted, and the sword Qi traced a clear path through the air, brushing past him and then hitting a large rock not far away, turning it into powder.

Sikong Xin’s gaze shifted, and then he tensed, spotting a young figure approaching rapidly from the direction where the sword Qi had originated.

"Brother Ye Xuan!"

Seeing the figure rapidly approaching, Nangong Yao’s face lit up with joy. The newcomer was none other than Ye Xuan, who had followed the trail over here!

"Ye Xuan!"

Qin Qi, Zhuo Yanyun, Li Ziting, and others also cried out in surprise, their eyes suddenly filling with joy.

"What use is it for you to come now, to seek death?"

In the ranks of the Mist Sea, the Golden Arrow Saint sneered coldly—one person alone, was he thinking he could turn the tide against those two fierce killers?

"Hehe, maybe he could have preserved his life by hiding, truly stupid," commented the Silver Spear Saint, shaking his head and regarding Ye Xuan as a rash man.

Yu Wuxin, looking at the appearing Ye Xuan, felt a slight stir in her usually placid beautiful eyes. She wanted to see if the soul power she had sensed spying on her earlier was indeed from Ye Xuan.

"So it was you who came as reinforcements. Unfortunately, this reinforcement doesn’t seem to be very strong."

Seeing Ye Xuan rapidly approaching, Sikong Xin’s face slowly relaxed. A Second Grade Martial Sect—no, a Third Grade Martial Sect who had advanced one stage, but what of it? Could he really cause any disturbance in their hands?

However, Ye Xuan did not respond to his words. He immediately went to Nangong Yao’s side and took out a healing pill, which he gave her to take.

"Brother Ye Xuan, I knew you would definitely come," Nangong Yao said after taking the pill, her complexion considerably improved, a hint of excitement on her little face.

For some reason, she had an inexplicable trust in Ye Xuan, even though their situation was extremely unfavorable. Yet, Ye Xuan’s arrival had immediately settled her heart.

"Rest well, leave the rest to me."

Ye Xuan nodded, adjusted Nangong Yao’s position, and then shifted his gaze away, his eyes landing on Sikong Xin.

"Kid, done with the sweet talk? If so, come over and face your death. With your strength, you are not qualified to play the hero."

Sikong Xin scoffed at Ye Xuan’s earlier words; this foolish boy, did he really think he had the capability to turn the situation around?

"Whether I’m qualified or not, we’ll find out after a fight."

Ye Xuan drew the Spiritual Edge Sword from its sheath. Having reached the Third Grade Martial Sect level, he was yet to know how much his strength had improved. Now, he would try it out on Sikong Xin.
