"Puny skill, Gale Slash!" Ye Xuan's legs paused, and instantly released two gale slashes, completely shattering the Knife Scar man's attack.
One had to know, he was at the middle of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao, and he had even used a level five martial art. Even if the Knife Scar male had instantly unleashed ten slashes, he probably would not be able to block a single Gale Chop.
"This is bad!"
He hastily twisted his body, preparing to dodge between the gaps of the two Gale Chops, but the angle of these two Gale Slashes were extremely tricky, causing his right shoulder to be grazed. Fortunately, it was only a small wound, which did not affect the battle that was to follow.
However, when the Knife Scar saw the figure that suddenly flashed in front of him, his face lost all color. He was only concerned with avoiding the Gale Slash, and had forgotten about Ye Xuan, who could still move.
At this time, Ye Xuan had already rushed in front of him, and suddenly unleashed his sword.
"Triple Slash Gale!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
Three muffled sounds rang out, the Knife Scar man's green robe had already been dyed red with blood and was instantly pierced three times by Ye Xuan. However, he had at least experienced a lot of life and death battles and had successfully dodged all the fatal attacks.
"Brat, I'll kill you!" The man from Knife Scar bellowed, he waved his blade, as though he wanted to cut Ye Xuan's head off.
"Humph!"
Facing this blade, Ye Xuan coldly snorted, his right foot suddenly took a big step back, and at the same time, his entire body sank down.
"Hu hu!"
Ye Xuan could hear the wind whistling above his head, the Knife Scar man's big blade swept past his head, at that moment, his spirit energy had once again gathered on his right hand.
Triple Slash Gale!
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
The Knife Scar man was injured again, but this time, the wound was even on his thigh. In order to maximize the damage, Ye Xuan stabbed the man three times in the same spot, and although the wound wasn't deep, it still cut off his thigh.
"This is bad!"
The Knife Scar male's face had already sunk to the bottom of the valley. The thigh artery was a crucial place, if it was not handled well, there would be danger to his life.
Furthermore, he was still in a battle. If he did not finish Ye Xuan off quickly, he would lose too much blood and die.
"Die!"
The man from Knife Scar did not care anymore as he raised his blade and slashed at Ye Xuan's head.
However, his movements was not fast, and Ye Xuan easily dodged it.
"Again! Die!" Ye Xuan's right hand flashed. This time, he was aiming at the man's throat.
"Puff!" "Puff!" "Pfft!"
All three swords hit.
After three strikes, the Knife Scar man also immediately threw away his blade, as he retreated while holding onto his throat that was continuously gushing blood.
He probably wouldn't have thought that he would die at the hands of a youth, and even included his own younger brother as well.
Chapter 15 - acquaintances
"You … "Who is it?"
The Knife Scar man spat out these three words with difficulty.
This was probably the last question he would ever ask in his life.
"Ye Xuan!"
Ye Xuan casually swung his sword and flung the blood dry. Then, he watched as Knife Scar fell to the ground and started to twitch.
Not long after, the Knife Scar male's trachea was blocked by fresh blood that was spewing out of his mouth.
As for the skinny man who was slashed into two by Ye Xuan, he was already dead.
Looking at the two corpses lying on the ground, Ye Xuan took a deep breath of cold air. These few days he had killed many Demon Beast s and seen countless corpses, but this was the first time he had personally killed someone.
"This is the feeling after killing for the first time, it doesn't feel like much." Ye Xuan shook his head, and kept the sword back into its sheath.
Then, he took off their bags.
Of the two people, one was in the middle of the fourth stage of Martial Dao and the other was a Fourth Peak Level.
Sure enough, after Ye Xuan made some calculations, his face still lost all color. The things inside the bags of the two of them were worth around 200,000 silver.
"Swallow them all. The higher the strength, the better!"
Ye Xuan had swallowed all of these Dan, Demon Beast materials and Treasures at one go, causing his strength to increase a little more.
"No wonder so many people are killing people for their treasures. Money comes in this way very quickly, but if one's eyesight isn't good enough to offend experts then they would have to pay the price of blood."
After Ye Xuan said these words, he was just about to leave when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
He could swallow the Demon Beast's corpse, but what about the human corpse?
"Although it's a bit unkind, let's give it a try."
Ye Xuan thought of this, and then crouched beside the now dead Knife Scar male. He lightly placed his hand on his body, and at the same time, muttered in his heart: "Devour!"
"Unable to swallow human corpses!"
The system prompted.
"As expected, it doesn't work."
Hearing the notification, Ye Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. If he could devour the corpse, he was afraid that he would turn into a homicidal maniac.
Since it was impossible, he chose to turn around and leave.
After devouring a large amount of good stuff, he was now one step closer to the peak of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao.
However, when he thought about how Liu'er was still waiting at the home in Lianyun City, in order to not worry Liu'er, he still chose to return. Of course, it was to kill his way back.
Since entering the Lianyun Eighteen Mountain Range, Ye Xuan did not know why, but he had not encountered many humans. Today, the two Warrior s were the first time he had met them.
However, as he was walking towards the mountain range entrance, he encountered a second group of people.
At this time, when Ye Xuan heard the running footsteps behind him, he also stopped in the middle of the grassland. He turned around to look, only to see a white figure quickly rushing towards him.
"He was also wearing a bamboo hat, but he looks like a woman." Ye Xuan thought in his heart, and quietly watched.
The lady was about a few hundred metres away from him, but what surprised Ye Xuan was that she was rushing towards him at a very fast speed.
"What a fast speed. He might have trained in a fourth grade or higher movement martial art." Ye Xuan was shocked.
He also had a movement technique, and it was only a fourth grade technique, but he came from the Ye Family, one of the Four Large Families s of Lian Yun City.
One must know that a grade four movement technique was probably worth a million silver. It was not something that an ordinary person could possess.
Out of curiosity, Ye Xuan did not dodge and just stood there quietly.
The white-clothed woman's speed was extremely quick, and in less than half a minute, she had already arrived several tens of meters away from Ye Xuan. After the woman saw Ye Xuan, her beautiful eyes also flashed with a strange light as she asked: "This friend, can you help me?"
"Hmm? Again? " Ye Xuan was already feeling helpless, he had just killed two of the people who wanted to kill him, and now another one had come.
However, in the next moment, he was also startled because his guess was wrong. This woman in white was about the same age as him, so he could tell from her voice.
However, the bamboo hat woman still wore a veil, preventing Ye Xuan from seeing her face.
"What can I do?" Ye Xuan tensed up, because the woman's movement technique was extremely profound and powerful, perhaps even stronger than
the man from the Knife Scar.
The bamboo hat woman revealed a happy expression, she carefully sized Ye Xuan up and said: "There's someone behind me that wants to kill me to steal my treasure, they've chased me for a long time, can you chase him away with me?"
"Murder for treasures?"
Hearing this, Ye Xuan's brows knitted even more tightly. At this moment, his eyes narrowed once more. Indeed, there was someone rushing towards them from a thousand meters away.
"What's the strength of this person?" Ye Xuan asked slowly, he believed in the bamboo hat woman for now.
The bamboo hat young lady hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Martial Dao Level 5 Beginning!"
"What?" An early stage of the fifth stage of Martial Dao? " Ye Xuan was also shocked, and asked: "What about you?"
"I am in the middle of the fourth stage of the Martial Dao, but I am not his opponent. Furthermore, from the looks of it, you should be from a large clan and your strength should be extraordinary. The bamboo hat young girl said with a somewhat pale face. It was the aftereffect of running for such a long distance with her movement technique.
Right now, Ye Xuan was at the middle of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao. However, he was still too young and lacked combat experience. If he really was an expert, then he would be finished.
"Miss, we just met by chance, and it's our first time meeting, yet you let me help you, your opponent is such a Strongman, I'm afraid …" Ye Xuan frowned. In this wilderness, one must be vigilant, you can't drop your guard just because the person in front of you is a woman.
What if this woman was with the person chasing after them?
It would be a tragedy if the girl suddenly attacked him while he was helping.
"Huh?"
Without waiting for Ye Xuan to finish speaking, the young lady in the bamboo hat suddenly asked a question. She jogged a little more and stopped ten metres away from Ye Xuan.
"Ye Xuan?" The bamboo hat young lady exclaimed.
Ye Xuan was even more surprised and asked in surprise: "You know me?"
He was also drunk. To be able to run into someone he knew in this wilderness, his luck was quite good. However, he could not figure out who this young girl was, but her voice sounded quite familiar.
The girl was also unsure, but when she saw Ye Xuan's expression, she immediately took off her bamboo hat.
Under the conical bamboo hat was an exquisite little face. It was carved with jade and looked like a porcelain doll.
Ye Xuan looked at her face. It felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
Chapter 16 - Top Four in the Chen Family
"Don't you know me? I'm Xue Qingqing …" The young girl said in surprise.
Xue Qingqing!
When this name landed in Ye Xuan's ears, it also caused his figure to tremble. In that moment, a person appeared in his mind.
His father, Ye Chong, happened to run into a caravan when they were travelling, and it was when this caravan was being robbed by bandits.
At that time, Ye Chong had interfered and resolved the crisis this caravan was in, at the same time getting to know the owner of this caravan.
The owner of this caravan was called Xue Hai and he was extremely grateful to Ye Chong. After finding out that Ye Chong was a member of Lian Yun City's Ye Family, he also paid many visits to express his gratitude.
And this merchant called Xue Hai was the father of this girl in front of Ye Xuan.
"It's you?" Ye Xuan also reacted, it seemed that he knew this young lady as well.
"Of course it's me. Hmph, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you don't recognize me anymore?" The young girl, Xue Qingqing, said with some anger.
However, she suddenly remembered that the last time she went to Lian Yun City's Ye family was four years ago. At that time, she was only ten years old.
"Xue Qingqing's father is a friend of this unlucky fellow. He's also the only trustworthy friend we have. It seems we have to help out with this favor." Ye Xuan made up his mind.
Before he left Lian Yun City, he used a reason to trick Liu'er. He said that he was going out to find his father's friend, and the person that appeared in his mind was Xue Hai. After all, he was his father, Ye Chong's only trusted friend.
"So it's you. Quickly come over." Ye Xuan anxiously said, at the same time he shot a glance into the distance, where the figure that was chasing him was already halfway, in less than half a minute, he would probably catch up.
Xue Qing also anxiously ran over to Ye Xuan, but in the next moment, she suddenly muttered: "It's over, it's over, how did I meet you?"
"What do you mean, girl?" Ye Xuan didn't quite understand, but he could tell from Xue Qingqing's tone that she obviously despised him.
"I heard that you are only at the early stage of the fourth stage of Martial Dao, and are even weaker than me. I'm afraid that we won't be able to stop him." Xue Qingqing felt extremely helpless as she placed her slender hands on the hilt of her sword.
Ye Xuan was also speechless. In his memories, this Xue Qingqing seemed to be a year younger than him, but his talent was actually much higher than his. To be able to reach the middle of the fourth stage of the Martial Dao at just fourteen years of age, he could definitely be called a genius.
"What do we do? I don't have much spiritual energy left in my body. Even if we add all of them together, we might not be a match for the opponent …" Xue Qingqing said with a worried expression.
"You don't think well of me? No matter what, I am still the Ye Family's number one genius! " Ye Xuan suddenly turned and asked.
Xue Qingqing ignored him and said guiltily, "I'm sorry. If I let you get involved in this, you might have to die. Your uncle blocked the way to save our family, and has yet to repay our kindness in any way.
"Cough cough …" Ye Xuan almost choked to death on his own saliva.
He didn't say anything else, he just stood beside Xue Qingqing, watching as the silhouette in front of him rapidly approached.
"Xue Qingqing, you ran quite fast. You stole something from me, and you think you can escape from my grasp?"
The newcomer was a young man, but he was roughly three or four years older than Ye Xuan. He looked at Xue Qingqing, and instantly revealed an angry expression.
"Steal?"
Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked towards Xue Qingqing who was beside him. The latter smiled awkwardly and said softly, "When I met him earlier, I found out that he had obtained a stalk of five hundred year old Blood Ginseng. That's why I suddenly took away his bag …"
It turned out that Xue Qingqing wasn't the one who had been killed for the treasure; she was the one who had taken the treasure.
The hundred year old Blood Ginseng that Ye Xuan consumed was worth one hundred thousand silvers, but this one was probably worth ten times more, and could be sold for at least a million silvers.
"You really want to die. Stealing something from an early stage Warrior of the fifth stage of Martial Dao, are you courting death?" Ye Xuan already admired Xue Qingqing, and now he had already recalled that the Xue Clan seemed to have a rather profound movement martial art that had reached Rank 5.
No wonder why Xue Qingqing was able to shake off this young man. It was because of this, but the consumption of her grade five martial arts was huge. The Spiritual Qi within Xue Qingqing's body wasn't long enough, so she was overtaken.
"I only wanted to steal something. This guy is very cautious towards me. It's not bad that I didn't ambush him and kill him." Xue Qingqing whispered.
"What are you two talking about?"
The youth's expression sank, and his gaze fell upon Ye Xuan. In the next moment, his eyes also flashed with a strange light as he exclaimed: "Ye Xuan, why is it you?"
Hearing this cry of alarm, Ye Xuan was also helpless. The number one genius and number one trash of the Ye Family.
He turned his head to look at the young man in front of him and found that he did have some impression of him.
"Chen Feng, the leader of the Chen Clan's four prodigies?" Ye Xuan said in surprise.
He had previously stripped the entire Chen Family of their Chen Song and thrown them on the streets, but this had caused a huge stir in Lian Yun City. Chen Feng was also a member of the Chen Family, and he was also the Chen Family's most outstanding genius.
Not only that, Chen Feng was also an outer disciple of the Cracking Cloud Sect and could be considered a senior brother to Ye Xuan.
"You know him?" Xue Qingqing turned her head and asked.
"That's right, the Chen Clan is one of the Four Large Families s of Lian Yun City, and this Chen Feng is the most outstanding one among the younger generation of the Chen Clan." Ye Xuan nodded and explained in a small voice.
He remembered that Chen Feng had broken through to the fourth level of the Martial Dao at the age of sixteen, and then, in the following two years, broke through to the fifth level of the Martial Dao.
Initially, his talent was definitely above Ye Xuan's, but the Chen family spent millions of silver to make Chen Feng join the Cloud Cleaving Sect, using Dan s to pile up Chen Feng. This was actually good news to Ye Xuan.
"I didn't expect to meet a trash like you here. I heard that you've lost all your cultivation, so how did you manage to enter the Lianyun Eighteen Mountain Range?" The corner of Chen Feng's mouth slightly curled up. As he spoke, his eyes occasionally flashed with killing intent.
This was a wilderness, if he were to kill Ye Xuan, no one would know.
"I won't trouble Brother Chen to worry about my cultivation." Ye Xuan also smiled slightly, he could see that Chen Feng seemed to want to kill him, and weaken the Ye Family's strength.
"Hmph, it doesn't matter to you."
Chen Feng retracted his gaze from Ye Xuan's body. The most important thing right now was to catch that 500 year old Blood Ginseng, he looked at Xue Qingqing and said coldly: "Xue Qingqing, hand over my thing!"
"If I return the 500 year old Blood Ginseng to you, would you let us go?" Xue Qingqing asked in surprise.
