Chapter 19 – Inner Core (1/2)

Right when Qing Hong was stunned on the spot, Yang Ye’s figure flashed to appear before Qing Hong.

Clang!

The Dark Iron Sword left its sheath and swiftly slashed at the Twin Wing Python that was right before him. Instantly, a strand of golden sword qi shot out violently from the tip of the Dark Iron Sword, and it instantly struck the Twin Wing Python’s head.

Bang!

At this moment, the extremely hard scales of the Twin Wing Python seemed like rotten wood that were instantly broken apart by that strand of golden sword qi from Yang Ye. The Twin Wing Python’s enormous figure was split into two, and it crashed to the ground and caused dust and dirt to suffuse the air.

When they witnessed this scene, Man’zi and Xiao Hei that were charging over from the side had stopped on the spot. Both their eyes stared blankly at the eight rank Twin Wing Python that had been slashed into two, and then they glanced at Yang Ye who stood with sword in hand. They were unable to recover from their shock for a long time.

Qing Hong who stood behind Yang Ye was the first to recover from her shock, and her beautiful eyes flickered with a strange glow as she gazed at Yang Ye’s seemingly thin figure from behind.

That scene from before was too shocking!

Actually, it wasn’t just Qing Hong and the others that were shocked, even Yang Ye himself was slightly shocked. He knew that his golden Profound Energy was formidable. After all, it could actually break through the defenses of an eight rank Darkbeast while it was still light gold in color. However, he’d never expected that this golden Profound Energy would actually be so terrifying, and it slashed the Twin Wing Python into two with a single strike.

After briefly pondering about it, Yang Ye had come to a rough understanding. It was undeniable that the might of the Profound Energy within his body had become even more formidable after it transformed, but it ought to be the contribution of the Energy Split Sword Technique that allowed him to split the Twin Wing Python into two. Otherwise, if he attacked with an ordinary method, then even though he would be able to break through the Twin Wing Python’s defenses, it would definitely not be so terrifying.

“Brother, Brother Yang. You’re a disciple of the Sword Sect, right?” Meanwhile, Man’zi and Xiao Hei had walked over to Yang Ye’s side, and Man’zi gazed at Yang Ye as he smiled bitterly and spoke. That scene from before was truly too shocking. All four of them who were at the ninth rank of the Mortal Realm were unable to break through the Twin Wing Python’s defenses, yet this Profounder at the seventh rank of the Mortal Realm standing before them was actually able to split the Twin Wing Python into two with a single sword strike. Needless to say, this was quite a blow to their confidence.

Yang Ye put the Dark Iron Sword away and shook his head before he said indifferently, “I’m not a disciple of the Sword Sect. Yes, I’m still not considered as one for now.” He didn’t have much of a good impression of these two men before him. Earlier, when he said that he was at the seventh rank of the Mortal Realm, even though Man’zi’s att.i.tude wasn’t so terrible as Xiu Yuan, the cold att.i.tude he revealed was extremely obvious.

Man’zi felt slightly embarra.s.sed when he heard Yang Ye’s cold and indifferent tone. He knew that Xiu Yuan and his att.i.tudes towards Yang Ye earlier had caused Yang Ye to not have a good impression of him. When he thought up to here, Man’zi couldn’t help but laugh bitterly because he’d allowed such an opportunity to become acquainted with an expert to slip him by.

Man’zi laughed bitterly and sighed before he glanced at the Twin Wing Python on the ground, and then he said, “Brother Yang, this Twin Wing Python….” This Twin Wing Python before him had been killed by Yang Ye, so it ought to belong to Yang Ye. Because they’d only asked Yang Ye to clean up the battlefield for them, and they didn’t allow Yang Ye to join their group. So, there was no agreement between them to share their gains equally.

When he thought up to here, the regret in Man’zi’s heart grew even deeper.

Yang Ye glanced at the Twin Wing Python and pondered deeply for a moment before he said, “If there’s an Inner Core, then give it to me, and all of you can have the rest.” Yang Ye definitely didn’t need money now, and the reason he wanted the Inner Core was that he was curious and had never seen an Inner Core in the past.

Man’zi was delighted in his heart upon hearing Yang Ye. He originally thought that they wouldn’t get a share of this Twin Wing Python, yet he’d never expected that Yang Ye only wanted the Inner Core. After all, besides the Inner Core, the Twin Wing Python’s skin was extremely valuable as well, and it could be considered as a great gain to the three of them.

After they thanked Yang Ye, Man’zi and Xiao Hei hurriedly started to dissect the Twin Wing Python.

Yang Ye paid no attention to Man’zi and Xiao Hei, and he turned around to look at Qing Hong instead. He really had quite a good impression of this s.e.xy and likeable woman. He walked over slowly to her side, and when he noticed Qing Hong looking at him as if she was looking at a monster, he couldn’t help but rub his nose as he said with a smile, “What? What’re you looking at me like that for?”

Qing Hong withdrew her gaze and shook her head, and then she laughed bitterly and said, “I never imagined that you’re actually so strong. It was I who was meddlesome earlier.”

Qing Hong recalled how she’d repeatedly instructed Yang Ye not to leave her side before this, and her beautiful face couldn’t help but flush red.

“I intended to make a move, but you never allowed me to. So, you can’t blame me for that….” Yang Ye shrugged and smiled.

Qing Hong’s face flushed even redder when she heard Yang Ye, and she glared at him before she said, “Yes, I was meddlesome.” As she spoke, she walked over towards Man’zi and Xiao Hei, and she felt slightly aggrieved when she thought about how Yang Ye might be ridiculing her in his heart for overestimating her strength earlier.

When he noticed Qing Hong seemed to be slightly angry, Yang Ye hurriedly stood in Qing Hong’s path and said in a serious manner, “Big Sister Qing Hong, don’t be angry. I truly thank you for what you did before this, and I have no intention of ridiculing you. I really took you to be a friend.”
