Chapter 553 - 248: The First Beneath the Divine Mountain, Yunmo Wentuo, Invisible Killing Intent
As the voice rang out, Jian Wushuang and the other new prodigies of the Divine Sword Sect looked in the direction of the sound.
Dozens of figures suddenly emerged from the shadows all around, rising into the sky from all directions and instantly surrounding everyone.
It was clear that the ambushers were all terrifying powerhouses from Demonic Dao Sects, each exuding towering Demonic Qi, with a terrifying pressure that caused the void to tremble.
A total of thirty to forty figures appeared, all of whom were True Self Realm powerhouses above the Nine Slash Realm, and most of them were at the frightening peak of the True Self Realm.
Dozens of Demon Sect True Self Realm powerhouses trapped Ye Xiaofan and the others in a low-lying valley, looking down from above at the more than twenty new prodigies of the Divine Sword Sect.
At that moment, Jiang Changqing’s hand, which was holding Ye Xiaofan’s, slowly dropped, losing all signs of life. His eyes, which would not close in death, stared unblinkingly at all the Demon Sect figures above the valley, with a lingering trace of worry in his gaze.
The moment Jiang Changqing’s hands dropped, Ye Xiaofan trembled slightly, as if the light in his eyes was extinguished.
In contrast to Ye Xiaofan, who was in a state of emptiness, Luo Qingxian and the others had dramatic changes in their expressions, staring at the Demon Sect figures above with the utmost alarm.
"Old prodigies of the Demonic Dao Sects?"
It was clear that those surrounding them in the low-lying valley were the older generation of prodigies from the Demonic Dao Sects.
Although all were prodigies, there was a vast disparity in combat power between the older generation and the new, not even on the same level. It was true they had cultivated in the Space-Time Barrier for "three years", but the old prodigies had also experienced the Valley of Space-Time years ago, making them incomparable.
Even some heaven-defying old prodigies had broken through the True Self Realm and been forcibly sent away. Confronting these old prodigies, even the new prodigies of the Divine Sword Sect faced grim odds.
Just as Luo Qingxian and the others’ expressions changed dramatically,
a figure slowly stepped out from among the dozens of old prodigies of the Demon Sect.
"Ye Xiaofan, I didn’t expect you to have your day too. Today, I want you to be buried with Yunmo Yan."
The newcomer’s face was grim, his eyes full of killing intent, looking down at Ye Xiaofan with a cold smile on his lips.
This was none other than the Demon Sect powerhouse blocked by Jiang Changqing in the Border City Battle Domain years ago, Yunmo Ya, the brother of Yunmo Yan.
The moment Yunmo Ya spoke, Ye Xiaofan understood roughly what was happening. Clearly, Yunmo Ya was here for revenge, and only someone who truly understood Ye Xiaofan would think to use Jiang Changqing as bait.
But upon hearing the opponent’s voice, Ye Xiaofan did not respond. Instead, he slowly raised his right hand, gently closing Jiang Changqing’s unyielding eyes, his own gaze growing colder.
However, the old prodigies of the True Self Realm above the valley were unaware of the severity of the situation, each scrutinizing the figure below.
"Yunmo Ya, is he the one who killed Yunmo Yan?"
"This is the Sword Saint’s successor? How is he only in the Realm of Eight Slashes? Yunmo Ya, didn’t you say this person was at the peak of the True Self Realm? Why is he only at the Realm of Eight Slashes?"
"But for someone so young to reach this realm is impressive enough, though unfortunate, as today he will pay with his life for Yunmo Yan."
"For a mere Eight Slash Realm expert, to have us all waiting here, Yunmo Ya, you really give him too much credit."
"I thought he would have three heads and six arms, preparing for a great battle. Turns out he’s just an insignificant ant of the Eight Slash Realm. What a letdown. Let’s kill him quickly and be done with it."
Seeing the figure, many old prodigies of the Demonic Dao expressed their disappointment.
Clearly, the reason so many experts from the Demonic Dao were involved in this setup was that Yunmo Ya had exaggerated that figure.
Beside him, Yunmo Ya looked awkward. Over the years, he had heard too many astounding things about Ye Xiaofan, and after experiencing the Border City Battle Domain, his concern over that figure grew, making him consider it extremely difficult to subdue him.
After all, in the Border City Battle Domain, so many True Self Realm and Spiritual Essence Realm powerhouses failed to kill Ye Xiaofan, who was at the peak of the Profound Sea Realm back then, mainly because he had too many strong Divine Sword Sect protectors.
Thus, Yunmo Ya spared no effort in using his influence, gathering a large number of old prodigies from the Demon Sect to entrap and kill, aiming for a decisive victory, hoping to kill even with terrifying senior brothers and sisters protecting him, within the Main Battle Domain.
So after learning Ye Xiaofan was going to the Valley of Space-Time, Yunmo Ya took advantage of the situation, using Jiang Changqing as bait to lure him into their trap.
But now, seeing that his opponent was only accompanied by a group of new prodigies, Yunmo Ya felt a bit embarrassed.
"Fellow brothers, he is, after all, the Sword Saint’s successor. I feared he might have terrifying people with him, hence the slight exaggeration. But it’s even better without terrifying protectors; all of you, please join hands and kill him, to avenge Brother Yunmo Yan."
As Yunmo Ya explained, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if about to devour the figure alive, forgetting that they were the ones who originally wanted to kill him.
