Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

When Ye Tianling’s voice rang out, Ji Xian and the others found it utterly absurd!

’One against ten? One person challenging the Ten Great Celestial Pride?’

Ji Xian expected to hear the mocking laughter and jeers of every Cultivator in the area.

An uncontrollable sneer even appeared on his face.

But after waiting a moment, he heard no jeers erupt, not from any of the other Cultivators in the area.

It was as if this was all perfectly natural.

’Am I crazy? Or are these people all idiots?’

Ji Xian simply couldn’t fathom it—couldn’t fathom how the atmosphere remained so calm after Ye Tianling had spoken such words.

"One against ten? I doubt you have what it takes!"

Ji Yun’s expression also turned frigid, his tone cold and sarcastic.

Beside Ji Yun, Qianyu and the others also wore dark expressions.

Especially after they had just lectured and berated Ye Tianling from their high-and-mighty perch, his subsequent action of simply releasing Ji Hui was like a slap in the face, which left them feeling extremely irked.

Now, Ye Tianling’s claim that he would fight one against ten only stoked their indignation.

"You’re really courting death! A mere Void Realm Cultivator, and you dare to be so shameless!"

Duan Cangyue couldn’t help but rebuke him again.

"Enough talk. We’ll see if I’m courting death after we fight!"

Ye Tianling swept an icy gaze over Duan Cangyue and her companions, his tone just as frigid.

He didn’t strike at once. Instead, he continued to condense a Primordial Rune to sustain the altar’s Energy circulation and maintain the rotation of its glowing light.

This process was of great benefit to Ye Tianyun and Liu Xu’Er.

As long as these benefits continued, that was enough for Ye Tianling.

As for whether these people lived or died, in Ye Tianling’s eyes, it was of no importance.

He simply hadn’t put any of them in his sights.

When Ye Tianling spoke, however, Ji Yun’s expression grew slightly grave.

’Judging from what happened with Ji Hui, Ye Tianling is clearly no fool. For someone of Ji Hui’s Ability and connections to have fallen into his hands...’

That in itself was something worth pondering carefully.

Lost in thought, Ji Yun glanced at Ji Xian.

Ji Xian took the hint, and his gaze immediately grew more savage.

He had long been waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Now that Ji Hui had been rescued, he could have attacked without reservation. But Ye Tianling had challenged the Ten Great Celestial Pride; if he were to attack directly, it would clearly be a sign of disrespect toward them.

Now, with Ji Yun’s signal, Ji Xian no longer held back.

Beside Ji Yun, Duan Cangyue and Su Wanhe were also itching for a fight, clearly eager to land a crushing blow on Ye Tianling and teach him a harsh lesson.

However, since Ji Yun had signaled for Ji Xian to make a move, Duan Cangyue and Su Wanhe had no choice but to suppress their anger and killing intent.

WHOOM—

At that moment, Ji Xian stepped forward.

His hands swept through the air, instantly manifesting a powerful Supreme Dao.

It was a form of the Combat Law. The Dao it derived manifested as a Totem of Yin and Yang that soared toward the sky.

Ji Xian’s body arched like a greatbow, its frame like a dragon. In an instant, he was about to unleash a Flowing Light of slaughter, slashing toward Ye Tianling.

At that very moment, Ji Hui, having recovered, finally came to her senses.

When she saw what Ji Xian was doing, the color drained from her face, and her eyes filled with utter horror.

VWOOM—

Her figure shot forward, blocking Ji Xian’s path as she cried out in a shrill, frantic voice, "No, don’t do it! Ji Xian, don’t attack!"

Her almost crazed, hysterical actions sent an uproar through the crowd.

At least, Ji Yun’s group was in an uproar. The other Cultivators, who had already witnessed Ye Tianling’s vicious and ruthless methods, remained silent, feeling that such a turn of events was only to be expected.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

"Ji Hui, get out of the way!"

Ji Xian and Ji Yun barked in cold unison.

But not only did Ji Hui refuse to move aside, she blocked Ji Xian even more firmly, her voice trembling. "Don’t attack! You... none of you are his match! You can’t possibly defeat him! You must not, you absolutely must not attack!"

As she spoke, tears of anxiety streamed from her eyes. With her vision blurred by tears, her voice was rapid and strained, as if she had lost her mind.

Ji Yun’s expression soured, turning rather unpleasant.

Even someone with his usual valiant and dashing demeanor couldn’t help but frown repeatedly.

Beside him, the expressions on Ji Yuan’s and Ji Nan’s faces were also extremely dark.

"Ji Hui, I know you’ve suffered, but don’t worry. We will get justice for you. This arrogant insect won’t be hopping around for much longer."

Ji Yun spoke calmly. At the same time, a Power of Laws that seemed to seize the very fortune of creation emanated from his body, enveloping Ji Hui.

This Energy was soothing to the soul, enough to calm anyone’s spirit.

He had originally thought this Power of Laws would be enough to calm Ji Hui down and help her come to her senses.

Yet after he did this and finished speaking, not only did Ji Hui fail to improve, she became even more distraught.

"Don’t attack! You can’t! You’ll all die!"

Ji Hui wailed like a madwoman, causing Ji Yun to feel utterly disgraced by her behavior.

The expressions on Ji Yuan’s and Ji Nan’s faces also flickered uncertainly, finally settling into an extremely ugly cast.

Duan Cangyue and Qianyu, however, clearly didn’t find this embarrassing. Instead, they were filled with sympathy and pity for Ji Hui. After all, for a once-vibrant, enchantingly confident young woman to be reduced to this neurotic, raving state... what a terrible ordeal she must have suffered!

They didn’t know that Ji Hui was not mad at all; on the contrary, she was perfectly lucid.

She was simply too anxious, too worried that events were spiraling toward an uncontrollably tragic outcome, which was why she was trying so frantically to intervene.

But clearly, it was having no effect.

WHOOM—

Ji Yun finally lost his patience. A Heavenly Forbidden Power emanated from him and enveloped Ji Hui, shackling her directly and leaving her without the strength to even struggle.

Although Ji Hui had been fully restored by Ye Tianling’s Origin Energy, her own Abilities still needed time to settle before she could unleash them completely.

So now, with Ji Yun making a move, Ji Hui naturally had no power to resist and was instantly suppressed.

Tears streamed endlessly from Ji Hui’s eyes. She was beside herself with anxiety, yet she could no longer even speak.

Her eyes were now filled with misery, despair, and terror.

But this look in her eyes only made Ji Xian, the other members of the Ji Family, and even Qianyu and her companions even more furious.

’Just what did Ye Tianling do to Ji Hui to make her so utterly hopeless and full of despair!’
