Chapter 468: Chapter 465: Rise Up and Attack

These two Punishment Hall Elders, one was a Third Grade Martial Venerate, while the other was a Fourth Grade Martial Venerate; both possessed formidable strength and were not ordinary by any means.

Boom!

The Dragon Claw was shattered by the combined force of these two individuals, but in the next moment, Ye Xuan, who had already prepared his next move, also executed it in an instant.

"Dragon God Sound Wave!"

Suddenly, an extremely piercing sound wave radiated outwards. This sound wave was immensely destructive, repelling the two Punishment Hall Elders who had attacked, backward. They hurriedly covered their ears to prevent the sound wave from entering.

However, one of the previous Punishment Hall Elders had already been swept by Ye Xuan’s Dragon God Sound Wave, his body immediately flying backward and violently crashing into the wall of the Punishment Hall, blood spewing from his mouth.

"How dare you! Ye Xuan, you have indeed harbored rebellion all along, and now you finally show your true colors! You even dare to injure a Punishment Hall Elder so grievously, delivering such a poisonous blow is a capital offence punishable by the extermination of nine generations!"

The Great Elder looked shocked, his face darkly glaring at Ye Xuan, those eyes seemed as if they wanted to devour Ye Xuan alive.

"What a colossal joke!" Ye Xuan suddenly burst into cold laughter, "This Punishment Hall Elder, without distinguishing right from wrong, intends to capture me. He is the one who disregards the rules and acts lawlessly, but somehow I have committed a serious crime? As the Great Elder of the Punishment Hall, you mix right and wrong, invert black and white, how are you different from a demonic deviant?"

"Insolence!"

Chu Kuang on the side shouted, "Who are you, and what is the status of a Punishment Hall Elder? Even if the Punishment Hall Elder wants to punish you, it is only right and proper. Admit your guilt, yet you dare to commit such an offense against your superiors. Isn’t this a rebellion?"

"That’s right, just now I was capturing you but accidentally noticed demonic energy on you. Our Xuantian Sect is a reputable and upright sect; how could we tolerate the existence of a demon like you? My demon-slaying is in accordance with the Heavenly Dao. Your attack on the Punishment Hall Elder is an unforgivable crime. All Punishment Hall Elders, what are you waiting for? Suppress this man! Great Elder, let’s take action together and execute him on the spot."

The Punishment Hall Elder who had been sent flying by Ye Xuan quickly got up, roaring madly.

The Punishment Hall Elders present, including the Great Elder of the Punishment Hall and Chu Kuang, all had murderous looks in their eyes. Even if it meant executing Ye Xuan on the spot, who was after all a distinguished Inner Sect disciple, directly killing him might alert the Sect Master and the Supreme Elder, causing trouble then.

But without taking Ye Xuan’s life, they had many ways to make him wish for death.

Chu Kuang was already preparing to make the first move, slowly approaching Ye Xuan.

"Chu Kuang, I am a member of the Spirit Frost Pavilion. Do you really want to provoke the Inner Sect Four Demons by moving against me?" Ye Xuan said with a stern face, gauging the situation before shouting sharply.

"The Inner Sect Four Demons?"

Chu Kuang seemed not to take it to heart at all, chuckling, "Without Xue Lingzi, the Inner Sect Four Demons mean nothing. Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he couldn’t save you!"

"It seems you’ve all set a trap early today, waiting for me, wanting to suppress me. But do you think I am so easily suppressed?"

Ye Xuan knew that the people before him were determined not to let him go today. Given that, there was nothing more to say. Without another word, the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword suddenly appeared from his sleeve, grasped in Ye Xuan’s hand, and he immediately thrust violently towards Chu Kuang.

The sword attack was a surprise, striking so suddenly that it almost coincided with the end of Ye Xuan’s words, aiming straight for Chu Kuang’s throat.

However, although Ye Xuan’s move was unpredictably swift, Chu Kuang’s cultivation was that of a Fourth Grade Martial Venerate, and his mastery of Martial Arts was profoundly advanced, far stronger than an ordinary Martial Venerate of the same grade. Despite the element of surprise, Ye Xuan’s sword remained an inch away from Chu Kuang, failing to wound him.

"How impudent."

Chu Kuang sneered inwardly, and just then, without any warning, the tip of the sword in front of him suddenly extended by an inch, and a sharp, unrivaled aura stabbed forward.

Pfft!

Chu Kuang’s face paled in alarm, and, somewhat flustered, he was stabbed by Ye Xuan in the shoulder. Blood sprayed out in an instant, piercing through his shoulder.

Blood seeped out as Chu Kuang, one of the Six Gentlemen, let out screams and roars of rage. His entire body surged with True Yuan, and the roof of the Punishment Hall was shattered by his power, as he attempted to forcefully expel the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword that was embedded in his body.

Yet, Ye Xuan had no intention of letting him do so easily. The Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword was firmly lodged in Chu Kuang’s body, continuously tearing the wound further. At the same time, Ye Xuan’s second Martial Soul erupted, and his body rapidly underwent a draconic transformation, his left dragon claw viciously reaching for Chu Kuang.

Seeing this scene, the disciples of the Punishment Hall were stunned. Chu Kuang was one of the Six Gentlemen, a top expert of the Gentleman Sect, and yet he was unexpectedly injured by Ye Xuan first, and quickly overpowered, being driven back step by step.

Boom!

Chu Kuang threw a punch to meet Ye Xuan, and it heavily collided with Ye Xuan’s dragon claw. There was a "crack" sound, and the Dragon Scales on Ye Xuan’s palm actually split open.

"Haha, boy, no matter how arrogant you are, your cultivation is still too low! Be defeated by me!"

Although Chu Kuang’s shoulder was penetrated by Ye Xuan’s sword, his spirits lifted after his punch cracked Ye Xuan’s dragon claw. However, just as he was about to counterattack, a burst of burning flames suddenly shot out from the palm of Ye Xuan’s hand. The crimson flames quickly latched onto Chu Kuang’s palm, and in the blink of an eye, they turned the sleeve of his right arm to ash.

"It’s the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire!"

The Great Elder of the Punishment Hall bellowed, greed appearing in his eyes. Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire was an extremely rare commodity, with possibly only a few kinds throughout the Spirit Martial Continent. For those who cultivated Fire Attribute Techniques and Alchemists, it was a top-grade treasure; unexpectedly, Ye Xuan possessed one.

The Molten Lava Earth Core Fire raged on Chu Kuang’s body, the savage fire energy even invading his meridians. Instantly, he felt as if the blood vessels in his entire left arm were bursting forth uncontrollably, scorching hot to the extreme.

Suppressing this intense heat, Chu Kuang landed a punch on Ye Xuan’s chest as quick as lightning, sending the latter flying.

"You’re courting death, boy!"

Chu Kuang barely contained the burning sensation in his arm; his left hand was temporarily unable to utilize any True Yuan. However, Ye Xuan’s actions thoroughly enraged him. A mere Martial Sect ant had caused him such great embarrassment – it was simply preposterous.

With a stomp that cracked the ground beneath him, Chu Kuang pounced on Ye Xuan like a mad lion, his aura as a Fourth Grade Martial Venerate reaching its limit. Apart from the Great Elder of the Punishment Hall, no one could contend with him.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s heart sank. At this point, he had no choice but to risk everything, as he had no other option. He seemed to have made up his mind, veins standing out on his body, the bloodline energy deep within him surging forth. Then, he drew both swords and, like a whirlwind, charged to meet Chu Kuang.

At that moment, the Dragon Scales on Ye Xuan’s body seemed to shine with an even brighter golden light, the radiance becoming more solid. Reddish blood hues seemed to float on them, flickering incessantly.
