Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

"These useless fools... The moment I was suppressed, they all ran away!"

Ji Hui was furious, and deep disappointment filled her eyes.

"They didn’t run. The moment you were captured, Divine Son Ye Tianling killed them all with a single punch!"

Not far away, a Male Cultivator, risking the fate of offending Ye Tianling and being killed, carefully sent a message to Ji Hui. He then bowed deeply and immediately retreated with an obedient air.

His movements were cautious, and after sending the message, his forehead was already covered in sweat. He was clearly terrified.

"Ah..."

Ji Hui trembled all over and nearly fell to her knees.

One punch... He killed them all!

’Holy shit, just how ferocious is he?!’

’How could this Ye Tianling be so strong?’

’Is Divine Son Ji Yun of my Ji Family this strong?’

’Divine Son Ji Yun, please don’t come...’

At this point, Ji Hui had begun to worry deeply. She even started to pray that Divine Son Ji Yun of the Ji Family wouldn’t come here this time, that he wouldn’t have to face Ye Tianling.

Unfortunately, her prayers had no effect.

"BUZZ—"

The Celestial Road spun, transforming into a swirling nebula.

Beyond the nebula, a curtain of light opened into a Void Gate. From within the gate, a group of several dozen Cultivators walked out.

Among them were all of the Ten Great Celestial Pride.

Chu Yan, Chu Yun, Qiu Li, Ji Yun, Qianyu, and the others were all present.

They had clearly formed small teams of two or three to gather Dao Rhyme Fragments together. By helping each other, they had reaped great rewards.

Among them, Ji Xian was holding Liu Xu’Er captive. Liu Xu’Er was like a Maid, her body somewhat hunched over, looking utterly wretched.

But none of the Celestial Pride showed the slightest bit of sympathy. It was as if this was all perfectly natural.

"Sister? Hmm? Ye Tianling? You dare to hold my sister captive?!"

Ji Xian noticed the abnormality at once.

Of course, he wasn’t the only one. The newly arrived Celestial Pride all noticed the scene as well.

Chu Yan, Chu Yun, and the others all wore strange expressions.

’Is this Ye Tianling insane?’

’Does he have any idea what he’s doing?’

Ye Tianling merely shot Ji Xian a cold glance, then turned his gaze to Liu Xu’Er.

Liu Xu’Er’s eyes were dim and she looked disheveled, but her purity was still intact.

Ye Tianling saw the truth in a single glance and breathed a small sigh of relief internally.

Although he wasn’t particularly interested in Liu Xu’Er, he didn’t want the girl to truly suffer the calamity of being used for Absorption.

"Let Liu Xu’Er go."

Ye Tianling’s tone was soft, but it carried an unquestionable will.

"You want me to let her go just because you say so?"

A savage sneer appeared on Ji Xian’s face as he stared at Ye Tianling with an incredibly cold gaze. His tone was chilling and brutal.

His glare was as vicious and venomous as a viper’s.

Ye Tianling didn’t waste any more words. With a move of his hand, the Profound Ice Cold Iron Rod materialized in his palm.

"SQUELCH—"

Without any hesitation, he thrust the rod into the other side of Ji Hui’s chest.

A terrifying power erupted. In an instant, not only did Ji Hui’s Battle Armor crack, but a bloody hole was blasted through her proud chest, and the organs inside were directly pierced through!

Blood exploded outwards, and the intense pain sent Ji Hui’s entire body into convulsions.

Her eyes filled with deep fear and even a look of pleading, but unfortunately, she was shackled and couldn’t resist at all!

"Ye Tianling, you’ve gone too far!"

Ji Yun’s expression darkened, a wary light flickering in his eyes as he shouted sternly.

"Ye Tianling, aren’t your methods a bit too despicable?!"

Beside Ji Yun, Duan Cangyue couldn’t help but furrow her lovely brows and say coldly.

"Such tactics are only used by Evil Demons! You are a Celestial Dragon, yet you stoop to such despicable acts? You bring shame to the Dragon Race!"

Su Wanhe and Qiu Yuan also spoke out at the same time, their meaning more or less the same.

"Ye Tianling, coercing a Female Cultivator with such methods—is this what you call being ’Unrestrained and Indulgent’? If so, it’s better not to learn it at all!"

Qianyu also rebuked him in an extremely icy tone.

After these Celestial Pride had all spoken, the atmosphere on site became rather strange.

In the dead silence, the Dao Rhyme Radiance continued to surge from the altar.

Ye Tianyun’s Cultivation was also progressing rapidly, her improvement extremely fast.

As they were all accusing him, Ye Tianling did not stop. He swung his Profound Ice Cold Iron Rod down from the air.

"SPLAT—"

His control was precise. The blow was just enough to shatter Ji Hui’s entire head, but it did not harm her Three Souls and Seven Spirits.

Even so, and even though Ji Hui instinctively used Dao Rhyme and Bloodline Power to restore her shattered head, her face turned even paler in that moment.

"Let Liu Xu’Er go."

Ye Tianling spoke again.

Liu Xu’Er was surrounded by a dozen or so of the Celestial Pride, making it difficult for Ye Tianling to act.

Or rather, it wasn’t that he couldn’t forcibly save Liu Xu’Er. Instead, if he were to strike with full force, with Liu Xu’Er’s low Ability, she would be caught in the crossfire and die instantly.

Therefore, he chose to make an exchange.

Of course, once the exchange was over, it would be time for him to settle the score.

"Tianling—don’t worry about me. I... I was never worthy of you, I don’t deserve you. Our engagement and all that... you, you don’t have to take it to heart. That... that was just something I made up to tell Tianshu."

At that moment, Liu Xu’Er couldn’t hold back. Captivated by Ye Tianling’s domineering and heroic spirit, her heart trembled violently as tears streamed down her face.

Meanwhile, seeing Ye Tianling act so aggressively and violently—threatening him by blowing up Ji Hui’s head—made Ji Xian so angry he could spit blood!

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Ji Xian roared three times in anger, but he forced himself to hold back.

He stared coldly at Liu Xu’Er, his eyes as crazed as a savage wolf’s. The venom in them was so thick it was almost tangible.

"I’ll give you three breaths. Let Liu Xu’Er go, and Ji Hui lives!"

Ye Tianling spoke again, completely ignoring the rebukes and taunts from Ji Yun and the others.

These people were self-righteous and conceited, placing themselves on a pedestal as part of the Upper Ranks and judging others with their so-called ’impartiality’.

Ye Tianling had seen far too many people like this in the Soul Burial Starry Sky Area, and he had killed far too many of them as well.

This group right now, people like Ji Yun, were indeed very powerful and could faintly threaten him, Ye Tianling. But that was all.

If they really fought, even if Ye Tianling wasn’t absolutely certain he could kill them, injuring or crippling them would be no problem at all.

Ji Yun and the others had all already stepped into the Sword Tribulation First Refining Great Perfection Realm, about the same Realm as Ye Tianling.

Possessing two types of resources, they had also mastered some very peculiar Abilities. These Abilities seemed to allow them to harness the power of Dao Rhyme Fragments. This was something Ye Tianling couldn’t comprehend, but it made him feel wary.

"Tianling, I’m begging you, don’t worry about me. And don’t take Tianshu’s words seriously. I was just placating him."

At this, Liu Xu’Er pleaded again.

Although she was moved, she understood even more clearly that in this situation, Ye Tianling shouldn’t make an enemy of the Ten Great Celestial Pride. That would be making an enemy of the entire world!
