Chapter 228 Hijacking The Flying-Cloud Stone

Detecting a murderous intent, Xiao Chen traced it back to Ye Wuxin. This man didn't come for the Fallen Dust Bead, but for him!

"Oh, what a sharp insight." With a faint smile, Ye Wuxin appeared in front of Xiao Chen before his voice had even faded.

"He's so fast!" Xiao Chen's heart jumped.

"I won't let you bully this handsome Elder Brother!" Instantly, Yu Linglong blocked Ye Wuxin's ferocious attack.

In the distance, the Bloodied Mad Swordsman yelled, "Hey, are you an idiot?! He's our enemy! Why are you helping him?!"

"I don't care! I won't let anyone bully this handsome Elder Brother!" Yu Linglong retorted, seething as she placed both hands on her hips. She pointed to Ye Wuxin. "Hey! I'm ordering you to return right now!"

"Ah." Ye Wuxin smiled. "Little girl, I'm not from your Sacred World. I don't have to listen to your orders."

Yu Linglong's little face swiftly darkened.

"When I get mad, the consequences will be grave! I'll overturn heaven and earth—Meow Meow Punch!" She sent a punch flying with a pink clenched fist wrapped up in a layer of dazzling gold radiance. Its power was as startling as that of the Azure Dragon bursting out of the sea. A loud explosion resounded as the front courtyard was blasted into smithereens, sending dust and soil flying everywhere.

When the smoke and dust finally settled, Ye Wuxin was seen still standing in place with a smile on his face. His Corpse Puppet was standing in front of him, having intercepted that formidable punch in his place.

In the distance, the onlookers were all shocked. Even a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator would be destroyed in an instant after getting hit by that violent punch, and yet this Corpse Puppet had remained intact.

Xiao Chen's heart sank. Was this the strength of a Corpse Puppet, its impossibly st.u.r.dy body? Not even a Nirvana Realm cultivator could escape unscathed after taking this punch head-on. This Corpse Puppet was an absolute terror.

Meanwhile, he also detected Ye Wuxin's gaze on him. The man appeared to be planning to bring him back to the Corpse Refinery Sect. He was reminded of the conversation he overheard Yu Yangzi having back in the Changyin Mountain Range: there was an ancient Immortal Corpse in the Corpse Refinery Sect that they were trying to awake...

Ye Wuxin chuckled and told the Corpse Puppet next to him in an emotionless voice, "If that's the case, entertain the Princess for me." The Corpse Puppet nodded after hearing his order.

"d.a.m.n it! You dare look down on me! Take this!" Following a shout from Yu Linglong, she started fighting the Corpse Puppet. Dust and soil instantly flew everywhere.

Ye Wuxin shook his head with a smile. "What a child." He then narrowed his eyes and fixed an icy stare on Xiao Chen.

Feeling a chill all over, Xiao Chen immediately retreated. Ye Wuxin was close on his tail. He sneered and said, "Your body will be the best furnace for my evolution..."

Xiao Chen cursed his bad luck: why did everyone covet his body?!

Then, a loud collision resounded as Bai Susu instantly arrived in front of Ye Wuxin and blocked him. Ye Wuxin asked icily, "Who are you? How dare you stop me! You're seeking death!" He slammed a palm on her.

Bai Susu met his attack with her palm and the collision sent her retreating several steps. Ye Wuxin smiled. "Interesting. I sense a familiar aura from you..."

In the distance, the Bloodied Mad Swordsman was sneering. There was no need to entertain Yu Linglong the idiot. Bai Susu and Ye Wuxin getting caught up in a fight were in his favor. Considering this, he stared coolly at Zuoqiu Qitian. "Hand over the Fallen Dust Bead right now! Do you want me to cut open you up, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator of the Violet Manor?!"

Zuoqiu Qitian was so frightened that he was s.h.i.+vering all over. He yelled, "Sage Fairy!"

Bai Susu frowned. Ye Wuxin proved to be a difficult opponent. He must be close to evolving into a Spirit Corpse. It would be hard for her to break away from him at such short notice. "You're the one who acted so recklessly! Reap the consequences of drawing all these people here!"

Zuoqiu Qitian turned ashen-faced. The Bloodied Mad Swordsman broke into laughter. "Go on and shout! No one will save you even if your voice turns hoa.r.s.e from shouting! The Fallen Dust Bead is mine..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a flying sword radiance arrived in front of him. Had he not evade it in time, the radiance would have pierced his heart.

"Who is it? How dare you ambush me! Do you have the guts to fight me face-to-face..."

Once again, before he could finish speaking, the sword radiance once again flew and cut off a strand of his hair.

"Devil Clan evildoers must all be eliminated!"

In the distance, a woman wearing a cyan mantle suddenly flew over. The woman's face was hidden under the hood of her mantle, preventing others from seeing her appearance. However, Xiao Chen could sense a familiar aura coming from her.

The arrival of the mysterious woman instantly overturned the situation. The Bloodied Mad Swordsman erupted in anger and his Full Moon Bloodied Blade materialized in the horizon. His aura was so much fiercer compared to when he was battling Bai Susu.

Lightning was rolling in the clouds above. The Full Moon Bloodied Blade kept shrinking until it finally turned into a blood radiance that plunged toward the mysterious woman.

The mysterious woman scoffed, showing no fear of the Bloodied Blade capable of annihilating any Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. She twirled the fingers on her left hand and an Immortal's Sword appeared in her right hand. She thrust the sword at the Bloodied Blade.

"Clang!" The sword and the blade came into contact, causing the vital force in the sky to shake violently. The leftover energy spread to the ground below, sending a small portion of cultivators flying. Even some buildings near the Zuoqiu family estate collapsed.

Everyone understood that the aftermath would only keep spreading as long as this battle continued. Canglan City would be destroyed at this rate. Its citizens had long fled by now and not even its troops dared to come near the area. The cultivators could remain, albeit with difficulty. However, any ordinary human who came near would instantly perish under this force.

After battling for several rounds, the Bloodied Mad Swordsman recalled his Full Moon Bloodied Blade. Rays of light were flickering indefinitely in his pupils. This woman had such high cultivation that the Immortal Sword condensed out of her True Energy was enough to withstand his Wheel of Bloodied Mirage. He must not underestimate her. He asked solemnly, "Woman, who exactly are you? Explain yourself right now or I swear I'll straighten you out!"

The mysterious woman trembled. Even though her face wasn't visible, her anger and surging murderous intent were apparent.

Cold radiance flashed. Countless sword radiance charged at the Bloodied Mad Swordsman, whizzing. The Swordsman immediately dodged the radiance, but the Sword Qi still managed to cut off a strand of his hair.

Meanwhile, Ye Wuxin and Bai Susu were battling. Seeing what was going on with the Bloodied Mad Swordsman, Ye Wuxin sneered. "You best be careful. Don't let her defeat you a second time."

"I don't need comments from a dead man like you! Worry about yourself!" the Bloodied Mad Swordsman retorted, jumping in anger. The mysterious woman's flying sword once again reached him as he was talking. While he was frantically trying to avoid it, he noticed her face under the mantle. His gaze went cold. "So it's really you, Ye Yuexuan!"

Xiao Chen's heart sank. This mysterious woman was Ye Yuexuan, the Leader of the Thousand Feathers Sect from a thousand years ago? The one who s.h.i.+fted the blame and entrapped Xiao Ning?

The mysterious woman didn't reply. In the blink of an eye, countless Sword Qi sprang forth and attacked the Bloodied Mad Swordsman. The Swordsman also dropped his previous persona. His face became filled with murderous spirit and his eyes were full of resentment.

"Great! Let us end our grudge from a thousand years ago today! Not only do I want to kill you, but I'll also turn every last member of your Thousand Feathers Sect into Blood Slaves! I'll have them plead their allegiance to me for the rest of their lives!"

Following his bellow, the Bloodied Mad Swordsman's aura abruptly spiked and his red hair stood on their ends. His eyes were full of murderous intent. Countless wisps of blood mist swirled around him. It was only now that he looked like a true Devil King. In the distance, the cultivators couldn't help gasping.

"Bloodied Devil Fiends!"

Following his frenzied scream, four images of Bloodied Specters appeared in the sky. Terrifying Devil Qi shrouded the entire Zuoqiu family estate in an instant. The hearts of the cultivators in the distance were racing. No one dared to breathe.

"Four Fiends, dismember her!"

The four Bloodied Devil Fiends obeyed him, instantly attacking the mysterious woman. The overwhelming Devil Qi made everyone tremble on the inside. The mysterious woman remained fearless. She focused on casting a spell, summoning four streams of sword radiance that hit the four Bloodied Devil Fiends respectively.

"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!" Jeering sounds reverberated. Not only were the Bloodied Devil Fiends unharmed, but the collision sent her retreating several steps instead. Every strand of the Bloodied Mad Swordsman's hair was standing on its end. Sneering, he asked in a solemn voice, "What's wrong? Have you become this useless after a thousand years?"

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes. No, this mysterious woman wasn't Ye Yuexuan. Moreover, she had not revealed her trump card. Suddenly, an ice-cold voice rang inside his mind. "Is it Ye Yuexuan...?"
