"It’s painful, isn’t it? I’ll give you total release."
Looking at the Niu Family Elder panting heavily on the ground, Ye Xuan grinned. Then, right in front of all the Niu Family members, he raised his foot.
This scene finally snapped Niu Tong and the others back to reality.
"You wouldn’t dare!"
"If you dare kill him, we’ll tear you limb from limb!"
The Niu Family members shouted coldly.
"Threatening me?" Ye Xuan grinned. Then, with a loud CRUNCH, brains shattered and blood flew everywhere.
Ye Xuan crushed the Niu Family Elder’s head under his foot.
"Brat, you actually dared!"
"Kill him! Kill him!"
Niu Tong was instantly enraged. With a wave of his large hand, the tens of thousands of cultivators behind him surged toward Ye Xuan like a tidal wave.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The mighty roars pierced the clouds. Tens of thousands of cultivators unleashed their Beast Soul Power simultaneously.
In that instant, the world changed color, and the sun and moon lost their light. Among these Beast Soul Powers, eight old men were the most prominent. These eight were the patriarchs of the eight affiliated families from Niu Family Town.
"With such powerful auras and so many people, even if Ye Xuan’s cultivation isn’t weak, he’ll be exhausted to death." The onlookers broke a sweat for Ye Xuan.
In the clearing, however, Ye Xuan grinned. Golden light bloomed all over his body. Instead of retreating, he advanced, charging straight into the human tide like a wolf leaping into a flock of sheep.
Blood bloomed.
Ye Xuan was originally dressed in white, but in just a few breaths, he was dyed blood-red. Wielding a sharp sword, he left no survivors wherever his blade passed. His enemies either lost their limbs or had their bodies directly blown apart.
The scene was dripping with blood, too gruesome to look at.
But it was too slow. Killing them one by one like this was truly too slow.
Ye Xuan simply released his golden Spiritual Qi, using shockwaves to kill. With this, his killing speed finally increased. However, this method had a drawback: the consumption was too great. Even a Frenzy Spirit Realm cultivator couldn’t sustain it for long, which was precisely why Niu Tong ordered everyone to besiege Ye Xuan.
Although Ye Xuan had only struck once just now, both Niu Tong and Ning Zheseng could tell that this brat’s aura wasn’t as simple as the 1st Layer of the Frenzy Spirit Realm. It was at the 3rd Layer, or even the 4th Layer.
This kid had been playing the pig to eat the tiger all along. To think the insignificant Ye Family had such a genius. They would wait for his Spiritual Qi to be drained before making a move.
The slaughter continued.
At first, only the cannon fodder died. But as the massacre dragged on, the eight patriarchs also began to fall.
In the fifth minute, the He Family Patriarch died.
In the seventh minute, the Liu Family Patriarch died.
In the ninth minute, the Chou Family Patriarch died.
Just twenty minutes later, the patriarchs of all eight affiliated families were killed in action. Without the Frenzy Spirit Realm cultivators holding him back, Ye Xuan’s true slaughter officially began!
"Patriarch, the experts of the eight affiliated factions are all dead," someone reported to Niu Tong at this moment.
Niu Tong said coldly, "If they’re dead, they’re dead. After returning to Niu Family Town, we’ll just give the affiliated families some Frenzy Soul Crystals and promote a few more Frenzy Spirit Realm experts."
At the same time, while Ye Xuan was fighting, the fleeing Ye Family finally stopped to take a brief rest in a certain wilderness.
At this moment, Ye Ling’Er looked in the direction of Hongtu Town and spoke to Ye Yizhou. "Dad, around this time, Brother should be fighting the Niu Family, right? Big Brother Tang Long said the enemy has tens of thousands of people... Will Brother die?"
As she spoke, Ye Ling’Er’s eyes turned red.
Ye Yizhou gritted his teeth, not saying a word yet. Beside them, a Ye Family member spoke up.
"Ye Ling’Er, my condolences. In truth, we all know that Ye Xuan won’t survive."
"No, my brother will live."
"Ye Ling’Er, having hope is a good thing, but you still have to face the facts. Ye Xuan is very strong, but against the Niu Family, and even the Ning Family behind them, he has no chance of winning. A mere 4th Layer of the Frenzy Spirit Realm absolutely cannot contend against the Super Spirit Realm. I know you don’t want to accept this, but this is reality. Reality is always cruel."
Hearing the Ye Family member’s words, Ye Ling’Er suddenly smiled.
"Ye Ling’Er, what are you smiling at?" the Ye Family member asked in confusion.
Ye Ling’Er didn’t answer. She just looked toward Hongtu Town, silently saying in her heart, "Brother, I think I finally understand why you made that bet with the family. You weren’t just making a bet; you wanted to free our souls and minds from the shackles of reality.
"Yeah, why did we assume you couldn’t do it, that you couldn’t create a miracle? Since the word ’miracle’ exists, isn’t it also a form of reality?
"So, Brother, you must crush the Twin Jade. I still want it to be like when we were little. I want you to pinch my nose when there’s nothing to do, snatch my candy when I have some, and protect me behind your back when there’s danger, shouting, ’Whoever dares to bully my sister, I’ll beat them until they’re looking for their teeth all over the floor...’
"Brother, please be safe. I’ll take good care of these two little eaglets for you."
She looked down at her chest, where two little eaglets poked their heads out.
Meanwhile, back in Hongtu Town.
Half an hour had already passed. Amidst the crowd, Ye Xuan’s body still bloomed with golden light, as if he didn’t know fatigue. By now, the ten thousand cultivators had been reduced to a mere three thousand.
And that number was still rapidly dropping.
Two thousand eight hundred...
Two thousand seven hundred...
Two thousand five hundred...
Corpses littered the clearing, and blood flowed into a small river.
"How is this possible! It’s been half an hour, yet his Spiritual Qi shows no signs of depleting at all!"
"Yeah, his golden Spiritual Qi is still just as strong."
The spectating crowd had long been dumbfounded.
"How does he seem impervious to fatigue? Even with my Ning Family’s Purple Gold Technique, fighting for this long would bring a trace of exhaustion." Ning Zheseng finally realized that Ye Xuan was far from simple. But then he sneered coldly. "Let’s see how long you can hold on. He’s probably just forcing himself. In reality, he’s at the end of his rope."
As time passed, the number of cannon fodder continued to dwindle.
Two thousand...
One thousand eight hundred...
One thousand five hundred...
"He still has strength? Impossible. I haven’t seen him take a single Spirit Revitalizing Pill." Ning Zheseng finally frowned.
By now, even the cannon fodder were terrified.
"Doesn’t he know fatigue? How is his strength still so immense!"
"He’s not human! This kid is not human at all, he’s a monster!"
The cannon fodder didn’t dare step forward anymore. But it was useless. If they didn’t advance, Ye Xuan would take the initiative to attack.
One thousand...
Eight hundred...
Five hundred!
Corpses piled up like mountains in the clearing. The stench of blood drifted into Hongtu Town with the wind, allowing every resident to smell the nauseating scent.
"Niu Family, retreat!"
Right at this moment, Niu Tong shouted coldly. The five hundred people still alive were almost exclusively Niu Family members. If the cannon fodder died, so be it, but he still had to protect his own people.
Hearing Niu Tong’s voice, all the Niu Family members present breathed a sigh of relief. They had thought the Patriarch was going to let them die in vain, too. The five hundred rapidly retreated, not daring to linger for a second.
But Ye Xuan flashed a grin. "You think you can just kill me when you want and retreat when you want? Did you ask for my permission?"
As his voice fell, Ye Xuan’s body released an even more dazzling golden light. At this moment, it seemed he was finally exerting his full strength.
