Roar!
The dragon rushed out. Ye Wushuang ignored the cost and channeled every last bit of power into the dragon.
Although they were both formed from the same destructive power, there was a huge difference between the saber strike and the dragon.
The power of Nirvana contained within the saber was inferior to that contained in the dragon.
After all, Ye Wushuang had cultivated the Nirvana Dao for five hundred years. No matter how talented Ye Chen was, it was difficult to make up for the gap between them within such a short period of time.
However, just as the saber was about to collide with the dragon, under Ye Chen’s control, the saber qi turned around and attacked the many Huang family guests who were watching the battle. This time, the Huang family had dispatched dozens of experts, including the fourth-generation Elder Huang Tian.
“No!”
“Brat, you dare!”
Huang Tian exploded with a powerful aura as he condensed a blood-red protective barrier with both hands, which emitted rays of blood-red light.
This was the Blood Spirit Clan’s secret technique, the Blood Spirit Barrier.
Bang!
The saber qi shattered the shield, but it did not stop there. Flashes of lightning from the saber qi killed three Huang family Supreme Emperor realm experts, while the power of the second-grade immortal artifact killed another four.
Finally, the saber qi that contained the power of Nirvana hit Huang Tian, leaving a huge bloody gash on his chest.
Puchi!
“What a ruthless little b*stard!”
Huang Tian retreated dozens of meters. When he looked into the distance, he saw that Ye Chen had managed to dodge Ye Wushuang’s dragon, but the dragon had killed three more of the Huang family’s Supreme Emperor realm experts as well as seven or eight of the Ye family’s main branch experts who were watching the battle.
Ye Chen’s attack had killed seven Huang family Supreme Emperor realm experts, while Ye Wushuang’s last-ditch attack had killed eleven Supreme Emperor realm experts.
In total, eighteen Supreme Emperor realm experts had fallen. They were all from the Ye and Huang families who had sworn allegiance to the Blood Spirit Clan.
Ye Chen had done this intentionally, as he wanted to kill the radical elements before subduing the Ye family. That was why he had picked the perfect position to dodge the attack.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several thunderclaps were heard in the sky above.
It was as if something had broken. There were four thunderclaps in total, meaning that the four experts who had completed 60% of the embryonic form of their Great Daos had died!
Furthermore, they were people who had condensed the embryonic form of a special Great Dao.
For example, Ye Wushuang’s Nirvana Dao, the others’ Blood Demon Dao, and so on.
The heavens responded accordingly. If a person who cultivated a special Dao died, a large amount of spiritual energy would be fed back to the world, making it easier for those who walked the same path as them to cultivate.
Puchi!
Huang Tian could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood. The saber qi that had hit his chest contained the power of Nirvana, which was very difficult to deal with.
He had no choice but to immediately sit down and circulate his spiritual energy and blood essence to expel it, as it would diminish his life force over time if left alone, and eventually kill him.
While healing himself, he cursed in his heart, ‘Damn it!’
He had to inform the family head to contact the seniors of the Blood Spirit Clan when he returned and tell them to come here as soon as possible. Otherwise, no one would be able to suppress Ye Chen.
As a Supreme Emperor realm expert using the Blood Spirit Clan’s secret technique, his blood essence had already undergone a qualitative change. Although he had not reached the peak of the Supreme Emperor realm, his combat strength was close to the ninth level of the Supreme Emperor realm. Even so, he was still severely injured by Ye Chen’s saber qi.
Moreover, he had only been hit by its remnant power, which had killed seven other Supreme Emperor realm experts. Had he borne the full brunt of the blow, even if he had not died, he would not be far off from it.
“Ye Chen! You even dared to kill cultivators from the Huang family!”
Ye Fudong’s face was pale. He had been injured by Ye Wushuang’s dragon just now as well. He quickly picked up the family head’s token and said to all the Ye family members, “I am announcing this order using my authority as the family head, and by the power vested in me by the family rules.”
“Even if Ye Chen passes the third test, we need to kill this demon!”
He turned around and looked at Ye Chen. “Now, there’s no escape. No matter what you do, hundreds of elders and guardians of the Ye family will kill you!”
“You destroyed the alliance between the Ye and Huang families!”
“You killed the cultivators of the Huang family and the elders of the Ye family without permission, which makes your crime unforgivable.”
“You are a demon who kills without batting an eyelid. Therefore, I sentence you to death!”
Even now, Ye Fudong’s need to fake the moral high ground had not changed. Incidentally, the dragon Ye Chen had dodged had hit Ye Fudong’s right-hand man, as well as his other trusted subordinates.
It could be said that Ye Chen had destroyed half of the Supreme Emperor realm experts of the main branch.
Ye Fudong held the family head’s token and shouted in an imposing manner. “Everyone, listen up! Activate the Seven Nights Soul Splitting Formation and kill Ye Chen!”
“Wait!”
“I haven’t even made a move yet. What are you so anxious about?”
A green-robed old man walked over slowly.
This green-robed old man was surrounded by a faint aura of death, making him almost seem like a dead man. However, with every step he took, the plants around him withered, and even the ground turned into scorched earth. He was like a god of death. Wherever he went, not a single living thing grew!
He slowly walked to the center of the crowd and stared at Ye Chen. He smiled and said, “You’re the outstanding talent of this generation of the Ye family?”
“Not bad, not bad!”
“He’s not even 30 years old yet, but has reached the seventh level of the Daoyuan realm. Of course, this cultivation level isn’t too outstanding.”
“However, his combat strength is at least on par with a seventh-level Supreme Emperor realm expert, and it might not be his limit!”
Hearing the old man’s words, Ye Fudong’s expression turned cold and his eyes flickered.
He knew who this person was!
This person could be considered one of the ancestors of the Ye family.
There were a total of four ancestors in the Ye family. One was from the main branch, which was Ye Fudong’s branch, who was a second-generation Supreme Emperor realm expert who had lived for more than 2,000 years.
The second was from the third branch of the Ye family, a first-generation expert who had lived for nearly 4,000 years.
The third person was an expert who had lived for more than 2,200 years, while the fourth person was this old man, a fourth-generation elder of the second branch of the Ye family. He had lived for 1,900 years and was a Supreme Emperor realm expert who had reached the fourth level of the Overlord Body realm, but had been stuck there for more than a thousand years. His name was Ye Wudi!
What Ye Wudi comprehended was the power of Death, and the Death Dao.
His lifespan had been greatly reduced as a result, but he had unexpectedly succeeded. Once he mastered the Death Dao, he could absorb the lifespan of plants, land, and even humans to nourish himself. In terms of combat strength, the Death Dao was not as powerful as the Nirvana Dao, but it was definitely the strongest Dao when it came to reducing the lifespan of others!
