Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Today, no one can save the protagonist!Blood-red sword energy surged down from the sky, overwhelming and directed straight at Ye Feng!

With Ye Feng’s cultivation level, in front of Ling Xue, he was no different from an ant. And Ling Xue, in his strike, held nothing back!

.

There was no need to hold back against the protagonist! He had to be killed thoroughly and completely!

Facing the overwhelming sword energy falling from the sky, Ye Feng had nowhere to hide. With his cultivation level, there was nothing he could do! He and Ye Yun could only watch helplessly as the vast sword energy descended from the sky.

In front of that immense sword energy, they were as insignificant as dust.

“Feng’er!” From high in the sky, Ye Dingtian, leading the imperial army forward, saw this scene and his face immediately changed. He never expected that the first person Ling Xue wanted to kill would be his son. This was beyond anyone’s expectations!

“Yan Guard!” Ye Dingtian immediately roared, placing all his hopes on the empire’s strongman. Yan Liang shot out with a , his spiritual energy surging as he rushed head-on toward Ling Xue’s sword energy.



The sword energy in the sky collided with Yan Liang.

Unfortunately, with Yan Liang’s mid-stage Divine Origin realm strength, how could he withstand the first form of Ling Xue’s Heaven and Earth Sword Technique? The boundless sword energy instantly engulfed Yan Liang.

At the same time, the armies of the Demon Sect and the Taixuan Empire clashed like two torrents crashing into each other.



In an instant, a deafening explosion echoed between heaven and earth, causing the entire imperial capital to shake violently. Waves of shock rippled through the thousands of soldiers, and the boundless blood-red sword energy completely consumed Yan Liang, destroying all the spiritual energy around him.

The most striking result of this first clash was… Yan Liang’s death! Yan Liang was instantly swallowed by Ling Xue’s sword energy, reduced to dust!

He didn’t understand the terror of the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique, thinking he could block the attack for Ye Feng. Little did he know, his sacrifice only slightly weakened the power of the sword energy, a reduction that was negligible. The vast sword energy still shot downwards, still aimed directly at Ye Feng!

In midair, Ye Dingtian, who had already joined the melee, turned pale. But… it was too late! With his speed, he couldn’t possibly reach Ye Feng in time to stop Ling Xue’s strike!

he thought.

“Young Demon Sect member, do not harm my grandson!” Just as Ye Dingtian was helpless, a sudden low roar rang out. In the direction where the sword energy was shooting, a sudden distortion appeared in the sky, and all the sword energy was absorbed into the torn space, disappearing without a trace!

Then, from that twisted space, an old figure slowly stepped out.

It was a white-haired, emaciated old man, without a single strand of beard on his face.

“The former emperor?”

The sudden appearance of this figure shocked everyone from the Taixuan Empire. This old man was none other than the previous emperor of the Taixuan Empire, Ye Dingtian’s father, and Ye Feng’s grandfather.

Ye Changqing!

It was rumored that Ye Changqing had long since died, which was why Ye Dingtian had ascended to the throne. No one expected him to appear here. He wasn’t dead? Even Ye Dingtian was unaware! He didn’t know his father had never died but had hidden away to recuperate. Seeing Ye Cangqing now, he was equally stunned!

All around, those watching the battle, including Liu Wenwan, were also in shock.

“Is this the former emperor of the Taixuan Empire?”

“Yes, it’s Ye Cangqing! Wasn’t he supposed to have died years ago?”

“Not only did he not die, but… he’s in the Extreme Martial realm!”

“Now, this battle today might have some suspense!”

“From what I see, there is still no suspense! Ling Xue already has combat power comparable to the Extreme Martial realm. With the Demon Sect army and the Qianling Ancient Clan, the Taixuan Empire will still be crushed!”

A flurry of discussions erupted among the spectators.

Ye Cangqing’s appearance was undoubtedly a huge surprise to everyone, but only Ling Xue remained expressionless in midair. He had long known Ye Cangqing was alive and knew that he would appear at this critical moment. Everything was part of his plan!

Today, he had come to borrow Ye Cangqing to reach the Extreme Martial realm.

“You think my empire is defenseless?” Ye Cangqing’s eyes fixed on Ling Xue as he waved his sleeve. Instantly, in front of Ye Feng and Ye Yun, a space distortion appeared.

Ye Cangqing thought that even if he couldn’t turn the tide of battle, he could at least save a few people and escape unscathed.

In the air, Ling Xue remained calm. He knew this was coming.

“After today, your empire will indeed have none left!” Ling Xue sneered coldly. “Yan Lao!”



In an instant, the space rift Ye Cangqing had torn open was forcibly closed by another vast power from the Extreme Martial realm.

Ye Feng and Ye Yun had no chance to escape!

Yan Kui’s figure emerged, locking eyes with Ye Cangqing in midair.

“Old bones, you survived back then!” Yan Kui smirked coldly as he looked at Ye Cangqing.

“Haha! Yan Kui, I didn’t expect you to still be alive either!” Ye Cangqing chuckled coldly, but his brows furrowed unconsciously.

If the Demon Sect still had Yan Kui, he feared that… today, not only would he fail to save anyone, but he might have to stay behind as well.

“Let’s see if you’ve made any progress after surviving for so many years!” Yan Kui snorted.

The next moment…



Vast flames erupted from his body. His entire being, eyes, fiery red hair, and beard ignited. He transformed into a fiery god, towering and powerful. Without another word, his fists clenched, and he shot toward Ye Cangqing.

On the other side, Ye Cangqing’s eyes focused, and bolts of lightning exploded from his body. He met Yan Kui head-on with a palm strike!

The fiery fists and lightning palms collided in midair.



An explosion resounded!

Half the sky was engulfed in flames, while the other half was filled with lightning. After one strike, Yan Kui attacked again, and Ye Cangqing, also in the Extreme Martial realm, had no choice but to fight with all his might. The shockwaves from their battle spread across the battlefield, engulfing half of it in an instant. Their battle instantly became the most eye-catching scene in the entire capital.

In midair, as Yan Kui held back Ye Cangqing, a cold smile crept across Ling Xue’s face. He raised his hand again.



The next moment, Ling Xue flicked his fingers, and the blood-red sword energy once again shot down, like a torrential rain of blood.

This time, no one could stop it. All the strongmen of the empire were entangled by the Demon Sect and the Qianling Ancient Clan, leaving no one available to help. Everyone could only watch as the blood-red sword energy once again rushed toward Ye Feng and Ye Yun!

The spectators were puzzled.

“Why is Ling Xue so determined to kill someone as insignificant as a person of the Earth Spirit realm first? He could easily defeat the empire and then take care of them!”

Of course, they couldn’t understand Ling Xue’s mindset.

. Delay would bring changes! After all, this kid was the .

“Feng’er…”

Amidst the chaos, both Ye Cangqing and Ye Dingtian had no chance to step in to help. They could only watch as Ye Feng once again faced certain death. This time, no one could save him!

As the vast sword energy descended towards them, Ye Feng and Ye Yun stared in terror.

“Do you think you can bear the consequences of killing him?” Suddenly, a cold and ethereal voice rang out. Then…



A vast barrier instantly enveloped Ye Feng below. All the sword energy collided with the barrier and was neutralized, leaving Ye Feng unharmed.

In midair, Ling Xue frowned slightly.

He turned to see a slender figure dressed in pure white, standing there without any warning.

She had appeared as if out of thin air, with no sign of space being torn open or anything. She simply materialized.

It was a woman in a soft white long dress, her face veiled. Though her features were hidden, the exquisite contours of her face could be faintly seen beneath the veil. Her bright red eyes were as piercing as Ling Xue’s, and an ancient blood-red rune adorned her forehead. She appeared otherworldly, like a goddess descended from the heavens.

The sudden appearance of this white-clothed woman stunned everyone.

They had no idea who she was.

No one in the Demon Sect, the Qianling Ancient Clan, the Empire, or the surrounding onlookers knew who this woman was or where she came from.

Some even speculated…

Even Ling Xue had no idea who she was or where she had come from!

Ling Xue merely took a slight breath.

Could there be such a thing?

“You… want to protect him?” Ling Xue asked coldly, raising his palm slowly, blood-colored sword energy starting to circulate once again.

This time, he was truly out of patience.

He directly activated the ninth form of the !

No matter who this woman was, if she wanted to stop him from killing Ye Feng, he certainly wouldn’t show any mercy!

“No! I want to protect you!”

However, the woman with blood-red eyes, clad in white and veiled, softly said to Ling Xue, “He is a thread that runs through the future. Killing him will disrupt certain things, which may bring about undesirable consequences for you!”

Upon hearing this, Ling Xue narrowed his eyes slightly. Sёarᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

To say such things, this woman’s background… must be beyond everyone’s imagination.

She knew that Ye Feng was a thread connecting the future.

“Undesirable consequences?”

Ling Xue sneered.

“You don’t seem to be here in person?” Ling Xue then asked, staring at the woman with blood-red eyes.

The woman, in turn, looked at Ling Xue.

Two pairs of blood-red eyes met, locked in a gaze.

“I am indeed not here in person. My true self cannot descend, and I cannot stop anything. I am merely a consciousness,” the woman continued, “I only wish to advise you not to kill him. Killing him… may throw some things into chaos. I am doing this for your sake!”

“Advise me?”

Ling Xue laughed coldly. He was someone who never took advice.

Whatever he decided to do, not even the heavens could stop him!

Since this woman wasn’t here in person, she couldn’t be that strong. Naturally, she wouldn’t be able to stop him.

“Step aside!”

Ling Xue then coldly spat out two words.

“Are you so determined?”

The woman with blood-red eyes frowned slightly but did not move aside.

In midair, Ling Xue didn’t say another word.

The ninth form of the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique exploded forth!

Sword Burial!



Instantly, a blood-colored sword energy shot down.

It was a single ray of blood-colored sword energy, seemingly unremarkable.

However, only those with keen eyesight could understand the terrifying power hidden beneath that seemingly ordinary sword energy!

Of course, the veiled woman in white with blood-red eyes knew!

Looking at the simple sword strike from Ling Xue descending from the sky, she bit her lip slightly.

Then, she had no choice but to dodge!

She couldn’t persuade Ling Xue, and she certainly couldn’t stop him!

And so, under everyone’s gaze, that simple stroke of sword energy finally struck down.



The blood-red sword energy didn’t pierce through Ye Feng.

Instead, under the terrified gazes of Ye Feng and Ye Yun, it landed right in front of them with a loud clang, piercing through the bluestone pavement!

Such a ridiculous scene left everyone watching utterly perplexed.

What kind of technique was this?

It seemed… to have no offensive power at all!

But soon, everyone understood the terror of this sword strike.

The blood-red sword energy began to tremble violently!

And then…

It was as if a single drop of water had fallen into a pot of boiling oil.

That blood-colored sword energy instantly exploded on the ground.

Wave after wave of vast sword energy shockwaves instantly spread throughout the entire imperial capital.

They truly enveloped the entire capital.

The prosperous and once-silent imperial capital, along with the palace, was instantly submerged in the explosions of sword energy.

Blood-colored sword energy shockwaves filled every inch of visible land.

Everything touched by the sword energy instantly turned to dust!

It was like a blood-red fireworks display, burying everything in its path!

Nearby, the onlookers, including Yun Luoxi and Liu Wenwan, hurriedly soared into the sky, narrowly avoiding this terrifying strike.

At this moment, everyone looked down, everything below was submerged in that blood-red mass.

The imperial palace, the pavilions and towers of the prosperous capital, as well as the surrounding mountains and land!

All turned to dust.

Below, within the range of sight, nothing remained but blood-red!

It felt as though they were standing above a sea of blood-colored clouds!

And Ye Feng and Ye Yun, in their final moments, couldn’t say or do anything.

Just like that, they were annihilated by Ling Xue’s completely unreserved sword strike!

In their final moment, Ling Xue personally watched as Ye Feng’s body was shattered by the sword’s energy.

Turned to dust, his soul scattered!

From now on, there was no more protagonist, no more Ye Feng!

This time… Ye Feng was killed cleanly and completely.

Clean!

In midair, the veiled woman with blood-red eyes also looked down at the blood-colored mist below. Her brows furrowed tightly.

In the end, Ling Xue had still done it! He had ultimately disrupted the future.

From now on, where the future would lead, no one knew!

“You… where did you come from?”

At this moment, Ling Xue, having just killed Ye Feng, spoke again.

He looked down at the woman with blood-red eyes below.

Even the original novel had no record of this woman.

She must have an extraordinary background!
