Chapter 501: Chapter 498 Humiliation

"Damn you, rest assured, I will let you know the difference between us!"

Chu Kuang’s eyes were blood-red, and the Confucian Sacred Essence surged over his body, bursting forth with overwhelming righteousness. On his right hand, twisted True Yuan seals emerged on each of his five fingers. As he struck out with his palm, five True Yuan seals blasted towards Ye Xuan.

"The Hand of the Saint."

Ye Xuan, having heard Xue Lingzi describe this Confucian Sacred Essence Skill, recognized instantly that Chu Kuang had manifested the Hand of the Saint, carrying with it an aura of ancient saints, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

Clang!

The Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword was unsheathed. Ye Xuan swung out a dark golden Sword Qi to meet the attack.

Pfft!

As the Sword Qi made contact with the palm force, it immediately erupted into a series of explosive noises.

"It actually contains a trace of a saint’s will."

Ye Xuan swiftly retreated, facing the onslaught of five glass-colored fire waves before him—flames born from the explosion of the palm force—and in an instant, they tore through Ye Xuan’s Sword Qi.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Drawing an arc with his body, Ye Xuan dodged the glass-colored flames, while the nearby stone chamber walls now bore five scorched holes.

"You dodged my Hand of the Saint?"

Chu Kuang’s smile froze. He had thought this move would severely disadvantage Ye Xuan, but it didn’t even singe a hair on him.

"Starfire Extermination."

Ye Xuan was not the type to avoid counterattacking. Suddenly, dragon wings flared from his back, and with spikes of Sword Qi fiercely protruding like thorns, he soared through the void. His speed instantly doubled. At the same time, the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword swiftly swept through the air, unleashing a killing move—a fireball, core-like in appearance, blasted out.

Boom!

The fireball exploded, and wild thunder spread fervently.

"Hmph, you think the same move can still trouble me?"

Chu Kuang appeared mid-air, a palm blasting towards Ye Xuan.

As this palm struck, dozens of palm forces whirled out, the ferocious will of a saint cascading down as if a saint had descended. A Fourth Grade Martial Venerate of the same realm would hardly last a second against it.

Unfortunately, although Ye Xuan’s cultivation wasn’t remarkable, his strength far exceeded a typical Fourth Grade Martial Venerate. Almost invincible against similar-level foes, Ye Xuan faced the myriad palm forces. His Sword Intent shattered the saint’s will, and Sword Qi erupted.

This sword move was the third of the Illusion Fire Meteor Sword skills, Chaotic Meteor, yet its form was immense, more than five meters in diameter, resembling a thunder-wrapped star reversing its course.

Boom!

The meteor-like blazing Sword Qi collided with the palm force imbued with saint’s will, sending terrifying shockwaves radiating outwards. If this area wasn’t the Evil Dragon Temple, the sacred ground of the Evil Dragon Clan, and immensely robust, it would have been razed to the ground.

"Indeed stronger than before."

Ye Xuan’s gaze slightly intensified. Chu Kuang’s strength had notably increased from their last encounter; clearly, his injury last time had impacted his power.

"Let’s finish this!"

A violent gleam crossed Chu Kuang’s eyes, and layers upon layers of golden runes emerged around him, unknowingly. The runes expanded suddenly, forming a massive rune sphere that encapsulated Ye Xuan, creating a vast light screen.

"Ye Xuan!"

At that moment, Fei Yue and others saw Ye Xuan enclosed by the rune light screen, exclaiming in shock, their concern for Ye Xuan growing.

"Ye Xuan should be fine, right?"

Leng Wusheng took a deep breath. To be honest, he was also somewhat worried. Chu Kuang seemed to have gone mad, determined not to rest until he had killed Ye Xuan. With Ye Xuan now trapped by Chu Kuang’s technique and the formidable nature of the rune light screen evident, it would be extremely difficult for Ye Xuan to break through.

Inside the rune light screen, Ye Xuan could feel that he had lost connection with the outside world. The runes were linked by strands of energy, creating a unique, self-contained spherical world, imposing a powerful will— the saint’s will, controlled by Chu Kuang, weighing heavily on Ye Xuan.

Boom boom boom...

Ye Xuan continuously swung his sword, slashing at the rune light screen. Sword Qi swept like a storm toward the screen, but the peculiar runes dispersed the forces; even the mightiest power, divided into hundreds or thousands of fragments, became futile.

"It’s useless. You can’t break free. Just wait for death."

Chu Kuang’s face bore a successful grin, finally able to slaughter Ye Xuan and vent the malice in his heart.

"Is that so?"

Trapped within the rune light screen, a dangerous glint suddenly flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes. Then, his eyes shining brightly, his body erupted with Sword Intent, his aura vastly intensifying.

With Sword Intent bursting forth, Ye Xuan unleashed his mightiest sword strike yet. The Sword Qi condensed into a beam, like a scarlet-red ray, streaking forth.

Illusion Fire Meteor Sword fourth form, Sunset Sky Assault.

Crack!

A fissure was cut through the rune barrier, and it gradually widened. The surrounding distorted runes were collapsing and disintegrating, releasing Sword Qi.

"What?"

Chu Kuang’s expression showed surprise, and he hurriedly formed seals with both hands, exerting all his strength to unleash strikes of Palm Force infused with the will of a Saint, filling the void like patching up tattered clothes.

"Break!"

True Yuan surged, and Ye Xuan continued to attack the constantly repaired gap, tearing it open repeatedly on top of the initial breach.

Crack!

Suddenly, the will of the Saint became disordered, and the runes on the barrier also started to destabilize. Seizing the opportunity, Ye Xuan struck once more with a dark-golden Sword Qi that pierced through the rune barrier and shot towards Chu Kuang.

"Impossible!"

Chu Kuang’s face changed drastically as the lingering dark-golden light instantly struck him in the chest, causing him to lose control of his body and involuntarily be thrown out, finally staggering to the ground and slamming hard against the wall.

Pfft!

Blood spurted out, and Chu Kuang’s face revealed fear, but before he could react, another chilly light burst forth before his eyes.

"You dare, you little beast?!"

Feeling the sharpness of this sword, Chu Kuang was once again greatly shocked. Ye Xuan’s sword left no room for mercy, filled with a murderous intent that shook the soul.

This bastard, how dared he harbor a killing intent against him, utterly outrageous.

Ye Xuan didn’t waste words; Chu Kuang indeed was a tricky fellow. Instead of letting him scheme daily against Ye Xuan, it was better to take this opportunity to eliminate him.

Boom!

The sword light struck without hesitation, but it didn’t hit Chu Kuang, who dodged away. The Sword Qi exploded near Chu Kuang’s side, lifting his body and causing him to spit blood as he was thrown backward.

"You bastard, just wait, I’ll cripple you sooner or later!"

Chu Kuang felt extremely miserable inwardly, thinking he could redeem himself and vanquish Ye Xuan, but he still suffered this humiliating defeat. He would never forget this disgrace.

"Really? I’m afraid you won’t have that chance."

A glint of murderous intent flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes. In a blink, he appeared in front of Chu Kuang, and the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword left traces in the air, fiercely slashing at Chu Kuang.

A flash of cold light, and caught off-guard, a streak of blood soared along with a ghastly scream from Chu Kuang as half of his finger was severed by Ye Xuan.

And that half of the finger was absorbed into Ye Xuan’s hand in the blink of an eye.

Taking the Qiankun Ring off from the finger and discarding the severed half, Ye Xuan then searched through the Qiankun Ring, taking all the Spirit Crystals, some valuable Spiritual Medicines and Pills, including the Evil Dragon Crystal, and even the difficultly-obtained Dragon Saliva Fruit Chu Kuang had taken just before, putting it into his own Qiankun Ring.

"No!"

Watching as Ye Xuan took all his precious items, Chu Kuang’s eyes widened as he spat out blood in anger, and then his vision blurred, and he fainted from rage.

He had obtained that Dragon Saliva Fruit with tremendous effort and hadn’t gotten the chance to refine it yet, only to have it taken by Ye Xuan, along with his Evil Dragon Crystal. These things were his hope for advancement, and now Ye Xuan had ruthlessly stripped him of that hope, making him desperately spit blood.

"Serves you right."

Seeing Chu Kuang faint from rage, Leng Wusheng felt a surge of gratification. This scoundrel had always opposed them, and now he had finally tasted his own bitter medicine, being thoroughly plundered by Ye Xuan, receiving a fatal blow. It wouldn’t be easy for Chu Kuang to recover from this setback.

"Ye Xuan! As a fellow sect member, to strike Brother Chu so ruthlessly, it seems Elder Xingfa was right, you’re indeed a great demon. Return Brother Chu’s Qiankun Ring now!"

Yang Wei saw Chu Kuang grievously injured and fainting and caught him, then his expression darkened as he shouted sternly at Ye Xuan.

"If you want the Qiankun Ring, take it."

Ye Xuan was noncommittal as he tossed Chu Kuang’s Qiankun Ring over.

"What about the items inside, do you plan to swallow them?"

Yang Wei caught the Qiankun Ring, but clearly, all the valuable items inside had been taken by Ye Xuan. He wasn’t really standing up for Chu Kuang, but if he didn’t intervene with Chu Kuang being humiliated this severely, it would undeniably damage the reputation of the Gentleman Sect.

"Consider it a little interest. Do you think it’s possible to spit out something that’s already been swallowed? If you want it, you can try to take it by force, but of course, you need to have the ability."

Ye Xuan stated emotionlessly.

"You! Very well, wait for it. Even if I let you go, Lord Wind won’t spare you."

Truly moving to action, Yang Wei hesitated internally. In reality, he wasn’t much stronger than Chu Kuang, and if it really came to blows, he might not be able to defeat Ye Xuan, which could end up with him being humiliated like Chu Kuang, a truly tragic fate.
