143: Chapter 143: The Moment of Witnessing Humanity (Please Recommend and Favorite) 143: Chapter 143: The Moment of Witnessing Humanity (Please Recommend and Favorite) Clearly, although Gu Xiaoxiao was upset with Ye Xuan for instigating her younger brother, this young lady had a kind heart and always kept Ye Xuan in her thoughts.

As the three sat at the dining table, the young boy gobbled up his meal with an indescribable contentment on his face, occasionally making playful faces at his sister, which significantly diffused Gu Xiaoxiao’s anger.

“Just eat your food, stop making those silly faces,” Gu Xiaoxiao said with a laugh.

“Got it, sister,” the young boy replied, sticking out his tongue.

With nothing better to do, Gu Xiaoxiao turned on the TV, and a talk show appeared on the screen.

“Sis, look, it’s Sword God Ye,” the young Gu Beichen exclaimed as he caught sight of the program on the TV.

On the TV screen,

A young man with a head full of white hair, holding a three-foot green blade, was being interviewed by the host, which made Gu Xiaoxiao focus her attention on the TV screen.

“We are fortunate to have the honor of inviting the esteemed Sword God as our guest today.

This is a privilege for our Qingning TV station.

May I ask, Sword God, why have you not created a Martial Artist Alliance to combat the plague of Mutant Beasts?” the host asked with a smile.

Ye Lingtian, who was well over a century old, but with the appearance and aura of a young man, slowly replied, “Ye has but one sword, and that is sufficient.

Why would I need the help of lesser juniors?”

His answer was overbearing and sharp, bearing no trace of humility, and it left the host slightly embarrassed, not knowing how to continue the conversation.

“Ahem!”

The host coughed lightly, masking their own discomfort, and continued, “There have been rumors that you’ve been wanting to take a woman as your direct apprentice, yet she has consistently refused.

Is there any truth to this?”

After a short silence, Ye Lingtian slowly nodded and said, “Indeed, there is such a matter.

Few have caught the eye of Ye, but this woman possesses extraordinary talent; she is truly a rare cultivator prodigy one encounters only once in a hundred years.”

“The rumors suggest this woman’s name is Linglong, and her persistent refusals are because of one person, and that person is none other than Mr.

Ye Xuan who once repelled the beast tide.

What are your thoughts on this?”

As soon as the host mentioned the two words “Ye Xuan,” Ye Lingtian’s expression visibly darkened, and then he said with a scornful laugh, “In the vast Xia Country, centuries pass like a shuttle.

I, Ye Lingtian, admit I’ve been defeated only once in my life, and that was by the world’s greatest master, Shen Jue Tian.”

“Aside from Shen Jue Tian, I have never admired anyone else.

In this century, no one has stood against three strikes from me.

How could a junior of later generations compare with me?”

As these words left Ye Lingtian’s mouth, the host became visibly excited.

Although Ye Lingtian wasn’t explicitly targeting Ye Xuan, the disdain in his words was incredibly clear, and this was bound to be big news, guaranteed to boost the TV station’s ratings.

“Please don’t take offense, Sword God, but legend has it that Mr.

Ye once slew Li Huantian and even exterminated Heavenly Blade God Jue Tian on the spot.

Isn’t his cultivation worthy of your recognition…?”

Before the host could finish, Ye Lingtian interrupted with a cold laugh, “Li Huantian and Blood Shadows were mere defeated foes beneath my hand.

Let us end this interview here.”

“Wow, the Sword God is so cool,” the young Gu Beichen said, dancing excitedly with his hands and feet.

“Yes, although the Sword God is somewhat overbearing, he has been eradicating Mutant Beasts everywhere, and that alone deserves our respect,” Gu Xiaoxiao nodded in appreciation.

At that moment!

Ye Xuan watched the show on TV with an indifferent look and did not express any opinion.

His reaction, or lack thereof, puzzled the siblings, with the young boy asking curiously, “Blockhead, why aren’t you excited to see Sword God Ye?”

“Why should I be excited?”

“He is nothing but a mere ant.”

Ye Xuan spoke indifferently, taking a couple sips of water from his cup, his demeanor as calm as ever.

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the siblings exchanged a strange look.

Clearly, Ye Xuan was too arrogant, not even considering Ye Lingtian worth his attention.

“Ah!”

“Help…

save me!”

Just as the young man was about to ask further, a multitude of frightened cries emanated from the village by the small river.

This sudden commotion changed the siblings’ expressions as they wondered what had happened.

“Hm?”

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of blood light flickered across his gaze, and his Divine Sense spread out.

An extremely gory scene unfolded in his mind.

“Blood Soul?”

“Quite interesting, it seems the moment to witness human nature has finally arrived,” Ye Xuan mumbled, yet his comment failed to catch the siblings’ attention.

“Let’s go, quick, let’s see what happened.”

Gu Xiaoxiao spoke anxiously, throwing on a coat, pushing open the door, and running outside.

The young man followed his sister closely, also leaving their home at that moment.

At this time!

Ye Xuan’s eyes were deep and unfathomable like ancient pools.

He watched the retreating backs of the siblings and mumbled softly, “Gu Xiaoxiao, when humans face death, when these so-called kind villagers reveal their despicable human nature, will you still hold onto your belief that humanity is inherently good?”

…

In the center of the village!

Many villagers were assembled at the village center, screaming in terror, all because a Blood Shadow was strolling toward them, its violent and cruel blood-stenched aura making the villagers exceedingly frightened and uneasy.

“Blood Food…

so much Blood Food…”

The Blood Shadow exclaimed excitedly, a jet of blood light bursting forth, instantly turning a villager into a dried-up corpse.

The thick Blood Soul Essence Qi was directly consumed, making the Blood Shadow let out a satisfied howl.

“What…

what is this thing?” A villager cried out in fear.

“My child’s father…” A woman burst into tears.

“Don’t be afraid, everyone, let’s fight it!”

Kitchen knives, hunting rifles, even hoes, all kinds of weapons appeared in the villagers’ hands as they tightly surrounded the Blood Shadow, their faces growing pale with fear.

“Old man Li, what happened?”

Gu Xiaoxiao, with her little brother in tow, hurried over.

When she saw the horrifying Blood Shadow in the middle of the scene, her complexion turned instantly pale, and a look of panic flashed across her eyes.

“Xiaoxiao, this monster came out of nowhere.

It has already killed many of our villagers; we can’t let it go,” Old man Li, holding a hunting rifle, bellowed.

“Brother, I’m scared!” The youth Gu Beichen, clutched his sister’s hand, fearfully looking at the terrifying Blood Shadow.

Clearly, just the sight of the dried-up corpses beneath the Blood Shadow’s feet had already terrified him.

“Don’t…

be afraid…

your sister is here,” Gu Xiaoxiao tried to reassure her brother, though she was very scared herself, she still forced herself to remain calm.

“Kill him!”

Old man Li pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The homemade rifle spewed out a spray of buckshot, and the rest of the villagers wielded their weapons to chop at the Blood Shadow.

Cackling eerily!

The Blood Shadow laughed malevolently.

It didn’t dodge the villagers’ blows, and the so-called gunfire seemed to pass right through its body.

With its splattered, blood-colored palms, it relentlessly tore apart the villagers one by one, excitedly devouring their Blood Soul Essence Qi, presenting an utterly horrifying sight to all who saw.
