Chapter 326 - 326 Changing Xiao Mingyan's Life

326 Changing Xiao Mingyan’s Life

To have such cultivation and swordsmanship, and come from the capital, he had to be an elder of high status in one of the great sects.

However, Zhao Qing had never heard of such a young elder. Could he be hiding his true appearance? Many thoughts flashed through Zhao Qing’s mind.

But no matter which one it was, it was enough to prove that they had been fooled today. Ye Xuan wasn’t an existence to be trifled with. They wanted to retreat.

“I’m just an ordinary passerby.”

It was obvious that Zhao Qing and the others did not believe him. There were four of them, and two of them were heavily injured. The remaining two could not hold on for much longer. He did not dare to be careless.

“Let’s go first and report this to the patriarch,” said Zhao Qing in a low voice.

If they continued to fight, it would not do them any good.

Ye Xuan also noticed Zhao Qing and the others’ intention to retreat. He blocked them with his ancient longsword and said slowly, “Did I say you could leave? You come and go as you like. What place do you think this is?”

Zhao Qing looked at him warily. “What do you want? We’re from the Zhao clan. If you kill us, the Zhao clan will not let you go!”

“Even if you are strong, it doesn’t mean that we are afraid of you. If we fight to the death, we will still bring you with us.”

Although Zhao Qing was afraid of Ye Xuan, he was sure that Ye Xuan would not dare to kill him. If he had no way out, he would not let Ye Xuan have an easy time even if he had to risk his life. If he couldn’t do it, he would self-destruct.

How could Ye Xuan be so easily frightened by Zhao Qing? He raised his eyebrows. “Really? You wanted my life earlier. If I let you go just like that, wouldn’t it be ..”

Zhao Qing heaved a sigh of relief. He didn’t see the killing intent in Ye Xuan’s eyes and thought that his words had an effect.

He continued to persuade, “If you let me live, I’ll plead for you when I return to the Zhao clan and resolve this grudge. After all, you’ve defeated two of us, so you’ve vented your anger.”

In fact, what he thought was that this person must be killed. Since he had already offended him to this extent, it was hard to guarantee that Ye Xuan wouldn’t seek revenge in the future if he let him off. Instead of offending such an unfathomable enemy, it was better to go all out.

Anyway, Ye Xuan was alone. Even if he died in Jade City, there would be no clues, and the forces behind him would have no way to investigate. They could even frame someone else.

Zhao Qing had a good plan, but he didn’t notice Ye Xuan’s playful eyes, like a cat playing with the mice. He wasn’t in a hurry to take the lives of these mice.

“You’re right…”

Zhao Qing was relieved. But when he saw Ye Xuan’s cold eyes, he knew it was over.

“Unfortunately, I want your lives. No one can stop me.”

Zhao Qing’s first reaction was to escape. An unprecedented sense of danger welled up in his heart, and he couldn’t even care about the injured Zhao Pei.

Even so, Ye Xuan’s sword was faster than them.

The moment he finished speaking, the pitch-black sword pierced through Zhao Qing’s chest. The intense pain in his chest made him feel incredulous. The tip of the sword was stained with fresh blood, making the sword look even eviler.

In a short while, the blood was completely absorbed. The sword was still black and looked ordinary.

At the last moment before Zhao Qing’s death, he realized that he had made a huge mistake. He had misjudged Ye Xuan. If he had chosen to run away at the first moment, or even left when Zhao Pei was defeated, he might have had a chance of survival.

He was extremely regretful but there was nothing he could do now. He had to pay the price with his life.

The light in Zhao Qing’s eyes was completely extinguished and he fell. The remaining people were killed in a few moves as if they were vegetables.

Xiao Mingyan and A’tian were completely dumbfounded, so much so that they had yet to come back to their senses when he walked to them.

Was everything over?

It was too simple. Zhao Qing and the others’ combat strength were considered relatively high in the Zhao clan. However, not only did Ye Xuan escape unscathed, but he was also uninjured.

They couldn’t believe that Ye Xuan had defeated Zhao Qing and the others. What had just happened seemed to have happened in a dream. Even Xiao Mingyan couldn’t help but gulp.

Ye Xuan had restrained his aura and looked just like when they first met. He seemed to be a loose cultivator with low cultivation. However, after what he had just shown, no one dared to look down on him.

“Just who are you?”

Xiao Mingyan asked the same question as Zhao Qing.

Ye Xuan looked at him deeply. “I’m the one who can give you a second Life and let you rise from the ashes.”

If someone else had said that, Xiao Mingyan would have thought that the person was seriously ill. Even the saint apothecary couldn’t do anything about it, so what could Ye Xuan do?

But just now, Ye Xuan had fought four people alone and killed the four masters sent by the Zhao clan. It was impossible to believe such an incredible thing unless they saw it.

However, it happened. It could be said to be a miracle.

“If you trust me, then come with me.”

Xiao Mingyan did not hesitate and struggled to get up from the ground. At this moment, he was still seriously injured and was enduring great pain.

A’tian saw that his face was pale and he was sweating non-stop. He reached out to help him up but was stopped by Ye Xuan.

Xiao Mingyan had a premonition that perhaps Ye Xuan could help him.

If he missed this opportunity, he was afraid that he could not turn the tables again. Instead of struggling at death’s door, he might as well take a gamble.

Xiao Mingyan would ascend to a high position later. Every time he thought about it, he would be filled with emotion. He was very glad that he had made this decision. Otherwise, the grass on his grave would probably be a few meters tall. However, this was all for the future.
