Chapter 568: 563

Crack!

The immense sound was followed by a sudden crack appearing on the light palm, from which the golden Light Dragon emerged, tearing through as easily as piercing a layer of window paper.

The Light Array erupted, with waves of light rolling backward, sending the Great Wilderness Sect’s powerful members who were involved in the formation flying away. Including Yin Zongli, they all spat out blood, looking terribly disheveled.

"How could he possibly be this strong?"

Lu Yuan and Elder Tie were somewhat incredulous. Although Ye Xuan was stronger than them previously, he definitely shouldn’t have been a match for Yin Zongli, let alone so many of them together. And now, with Young Sect Leader Yin and a group of Martial Venerate experts setting up the Great Wilderness Demon Binding Array, could it really be that they were still not a match for Ye Xuan alone?

"Impressive."

The shadowless blade warrior watching from not far away couldn’t help but praise. If it were him, he wouldn’t have been able to break the Great Wilderness Demon Binding Array led by Yin Zongli. To think that Ye Xuan did it with such ease.

"I never expected that he was still holding back when he fought with me," Ao Feng said with a change of color. The last time he had fought with Ye Xuan, the latter had not been so monstrously powerful.

"It seems that among the young generation in the Spirit Light Domain, this person can be ranked in the top five," mused the shadowless blade warrior.

"In that case, for him, the preliminaries for the Continent’s Son seem to be just a formality. With his strength, passing the preliminaries should be a piece of cake," Ao Feng said, stroking his chin. He was not the strongest among the younger generation of the Ao family. Above him, there were even stronger people, his eldest brother Ao Tian, a bona fide Seventh Grade Martial Venerate with an ancient Sky Tiger bloodline much more powerful than his, a formidable figure who could rank in the top three in the entire Spirit Light Domain.

"With his current strength, it’s probably not just about passing the preliminaries. As far as I know, if one can achieve first place in the preliminaries of the Spirit Light Domain, they can obtain certain privileges in the subsequent Continent’s Son trials."

"First place?"

Ao Feng was stunned for a moment before he chuckled and shook his head, "First place is too difficult. Everyone wants the privilege that comes with the Continent’s Son trials, but there’s only one first place."

What’s known as the privilege is the ability to enjoy some special rights during the Continent’s Son trials; however, in the Spirit Light Domain, only the first place is honored with this privilege.

"Kid, you’re outrageously bold! Do you intend to make an enemy of the Great Wilderness Sect?"

With blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, Elder Tie shouted angrily with a menacing expression.

"Aren’t we already enemies?"

Ye Xuan’s mouth curled into a mocking smile. Bringing this up now, wasn’t it a bit late?

"What do you want to do? You wouldn’t dare to kill us, would you?" Lu Yuan asked mockingly, looking at Ye Xuan with some sense of security.

"What wouldn’t I dare to do? The Great Wilderness Sect is just that, even if I slaughtered all of you, the worst outcome would be being hunted by a Semi-Saint,"

Ye Xuan sneered. The Great Wilderness Sect, a Sixth Grade Sect, its strongest being presumably only a Semi-Saint. Although he might not be able to confront a Half-Saint level expert just yet, for such a strong opponent to capture him was also no easy task.

"You speak so lightly, do you really take this elder to be someone who’s easily frightened?"

Elder Tie said mockingly, he didn’t believe that Ye Xuan would dare to disregard the Great Wilderness Sect’s background and truly lay hands on them—he was likely just mouthing off to scare him.

Swoosh!

However, no sooner had the words left his mouth than a highly-penetrative beam of light burst forth, piercing directly through his throat, and blood suddenly spurted out.

A "crackling" noise came from his throat, Elder Tie’s eyes bulged, and he choked, unable to utter a word. After struggling for a moment, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Until his dying breath, Elder Tie still couldn’t believe that Ye Xuan would actually strike to kill him.

Lu Yuan stood by, his face a picture of shock, then he turned to Ye Xuan and bellowed, "Ye Xuan, you really dared..."

Pfft!

Before he could finish his sentence, his forehead was penetrated by a golden beam of light, and in the next instant, his forehead cracked open, after which his blood gushed out like a fountain.

Following in Elder Tie’s footsteps, Lu Yuan too was instantly killed by Ye Xuan.

"Ye Xuan! Lu Yuan was a Core Disciple of the Great Wilderness Sect, how could you dare to kill him?" Yin Zongli’s face darkened. Elder Tie was just an Outer Sect Elder, his death didn’t mean much, but Lu Yuan’s talents were top-notch within the Great Wilderness Sect. A young man who had already reached the Fifth Grade Martial Venerable Realm, he was bound to be a mainstay of the Sect in the future, but Ye Xuan had so casually taken his life.

"Keep babbling and I’ll kill you too."

Ye Xuan’s gaze settled on Yin Zongli, a hint of murderous intent radiating from him, killing one was as good as killing a crowd, he thought it better to simply kill them all and be done with it.

"You... don’t be reckless, my father is the Sect Hierarch of the Great Wilderness Sect, if you kill me, you’ll be making a mortal enemy of our Sect!"

Yin Zongli was somewhat frightened. After all, the lives and deaths of others had nothing to do with him; his own life was what mattered most.

To such remarks, Ye Xuan simply ignored them. A trace of killing intent still lingered in his heart. These people of the Great Wilderness Sect, entangling him so tightly, if he didn’t deal with them now, this Yin Zongli might very well seek revenge in the future.

However, just as Ye Xuan was entertaining this thought, suddenly, two figures burst forth from the dense forest—it was Ao Feng and the Shadowless Blade.

"Have you two come to stop me?"

Ye Xuan’s brow furrowed slightly. These two appearing at this time, and with no particular friendship with him, were most likely foes rather than friends.

"Of course not, Brother Ye, please don’t misunderstand."

Ao Feng said with a smile, shaking his head, "I’ve got no dealings with Yin Zongli, whether he lives or dies doesn’t concern me. We’re just considering things on behalf of Brother Ye, it’s best to spare him his life."

"Why?"

Ye Xuan asked indifferently, without any haste.

"Yin Zongli is the Young Sect Leader of the Great Wilderness Sect and also a seeded candidate for the Continent’s Son preliminary selection. If you kill him, you’ll lose the qualification for the Continent’s Son preliminary selection." The Shadowless Blade’s hoarse voice carried through, his eyes immediately gleaming, "The preliminaries for the Continent’s Son are, I believe, quite significant to you. We’re just here to remind you. That’s all we’ve to say. If you still want to kill Yin Zongli, then go ahead."

Hearing this, Ye Xuan also showed a contemplative expression. Indeed, the preliminaries for the Continent’s Son would take place within each Spirit Domain, and each major Sixth Grade power could have several seeded candidates. The status and position of these seeded candidates were secondary; what mattered was that, in name, seeded candidates were determined by the Seventh Grade powers of the Central Domain. Killing a seeded candidate would be a challenge to these Seventh Grade powers. Though it wouldn’t lead to a fatal calamity, there would no longer be any opportunity to partake in the selection for the Continent’s Son.

Thus, it seems that Yin Zongli couldn’t be so casually killed after all.
