Old Master Ye looked down from high up in the sky. He lowered his eyes and scolded coldly, “Ye Zhang, how long are you going to pretend for? Since she attacked you, you don’t have to show any mercy!”

Ye Shu’s eyes moved slightly. She turned around to look at Ye Zhang. Ye Zhang, who was lying in a pool of blood, had already stood up slowly. His eyes were filled with evilness. The blood dripping from his body was even more alluring. The curve of his lips was extremely mysterious.

“Yes, Father.” He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and stared straight at Ye Shu, murder intent surging in his eyes.

Ye Shu was alarmed. He was actually still alive! In a split second, the world transformed. When she opened her eyes again, the two of them were already in a dark forest. Bai Chen, who was beside her, had also followed them for some reason. However, she could not afford to be surprised as she looked around and her eyes suddenly narrowed.

This should be a small dimension created by the Guardian Array.

He swept a glance at Bai Chen with a strange look in his eyes. Then, he stretched his muscles and pulled out a rusty blade. The blade flickered with a cold light and emitted a terrifying aura in the gloomy forest. The oppression spread bit by bit, and it seemed to be cutting through the air.

Bai Chen looked at the weapon, his eyes dark and unclear. His tone suddenly turned cold. “Black Demon Blade.”

Ye Shu slowly narrowed her eyes and sized up the calm voice. “This is a good weapon.”

Ye Zhang grinned, revealing his white teeth. “Of course.”

The sharp blood-stained blade slowly slashed through the air which seemed to have become viscous. Then, with a spin, it went straight towards Ye Shu’s glabella. Ye Shu curled her lips into a smile and dodged it. Vigorous spiritual aura rolled and gradually wrapped around the murderous aura of the black sharp blade. With a swoosh, the two collided and the spiritual aura suddenly dissipated.

Ye Zhang put away the dagger, curled his lips and said in a devilish voice, “You little girl, my Black Demon Blade was not wasted.”

Ye Shu said lightly, “Cut the crap.” She took out the dagger that she carried with her and wrapped it with spiritual energy. It made for Ye Zhang’s heart, with a sharpness that could cut through the sky.

Ye Zhang smiled mysteriously and took out the Black Demon Blade to block the attack. In an instant, Ye Shu was forced to take two steps back. Ye Shu was shocked. She tried attacking with a sweeping kick but Ye Zhang dodged in a strange stance. A dense black aura appeared and engulfed Ye Shu.

Ye Shu suddenly felt a piercing pain. Her face was pale as she held the dagger tightly. As she looked at the approaching Black Demon Blade, her eyes were cold and her spiritual energy flowed towards Ye Zhang!

Their auras clashed, causing a huge disturbance in the air. Bai Chen, who was standing at the side, felt extremely anxious.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Shu and Ye Zhang had already fought for more than ten rounds. They were locked in a stalemate.

She grabbed Ye Zhang’s wrist and prepared to bring him to the ground. But she staggered when Ye Zhang hooked her ankle. Ye Zhang’s sharp blade cut Ye Shu’s arm.

Ye Shu gritted her teeth and felt that the flesh on her arm was gradually corroding. Black aura gradually emerged and was spreading around her body.

Her eyes were red from the pain. She took out the dagger in her hand and ruthlessly cut the flesh on her arm in a bid to stop the black aura. Instantly, the flesh on her arm became blurry.

Blood gushed out of Ye Shu’s arm. She looked at Ye Zhang’s devilish face and held the dagger in her hand tightly. In an instant, a bright light shone and she rushed towards Ye Zhang.

Ye Zhang’s form kept shifting, making it difficult for Ye Shu to see his exact position. Ye Shu’s eyes were cold as ice. Suddenly, her eyes focused and she stabbed at the shadow behind her.

“Ah…” Ye Zhang cried in pain. He appeared in the distance, holding his injured chest and smiling wickedly.

“I didn’t expect an early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator like you to be able to fight me for such a long time and still be on par with me.” He chuckled and his voice suddenly turned cold. “In that case, I won’t hold back.”

In an instant, the wind and clouds suddenly changed. With Ye Zhang as the center, a black fog swirled out. That fog was like a sharp blade, but also like a barrier. The trees in the forest seemed extremely mysterious. A vigorous laughter rang out.

Ye Shu looked at all of this coldly. She raised her dagger lightly and its blade reflected a bright light. It intertwined with the black fog in the sky and presented a strange phenomenon.

Ye Zhang curled his lips. The sharp blade was continuously absorbing the baleful aura in the sky. As time passed, the sharp blade became incomparably dense. In an instant, the air seemed to have frozen. Ye Zhang slowly moved the sharp blade. The sharp baleful aura could not be blocked. It turned into a black ray of light and rushed towards Ye Shu like lightning.

Ye Shu quickly took out her dagger to block. Two powerful lights flashed and surged when they met.

Ye Zhang curled his lips into a smile. He raised his arm slightly and suddenly, the black aura became even stronger, causing Ye Shu to take a few steps back. Due to the corrosion of the black aura, Ye Shu’s body was already covered with many bloody wounds.. Her body was covered in blood and her eyes were extremely red, as if they were dyed with a bloodthirsty glow!
