Chapter 245 – Sword Intent Again! (1/2)

The judge pondered deeply for a moment before he gazed at Yang Ye and said, “Yang Ye, I have no intention to go against you or side with anyone. But I feel what Kugu said was reasonable. So, can you provide some explanation?”

Yang Ye smiled and said, “Forgive me for being unable to explain or expose what happened just now. If Senior has proof that I’ve relied on an external source of strength, then please display it, and I’ll be willing to accept my punishment!”

The judge was slightly displeased when he heard this. However, he couldn’t do anything about it because he really didn’t have any proof that Yang Ye had utilized an external source of strength. But if Yang Ye hadn’t utilized an external source of strength, then how did Yang Ye kill Li Xianjun while facing a mid-grade Earth Rank technique? This was what he was puzzled by!

Right at this moment, Su Qings.h.i.+ arrived on the arena. She nodded lightly to Yang Ye, and then she gazed at Kugu and said, “Kugu, if you have proof, then please display it. Otherwise, please descend from the arena and don’t interfere with the battles of the Ascension Rankings!”

Meanwhile, the judge nodded as well and said, “Kugu, if you have proof that Yang Ye utilized an external source of strength, then please display it!”

Kugu’s savage expression became slightly unsightly. Proof? He naturally didn’t have any, and it was merely a guess of his…. So, when the judge asked him for proof, where would he go look for it?

Meanwhile, Yang Ye suddenly smiled and said, “Looks like Senior Kugu is unable to produce any proof. Since it’s like this, then please leave the arena and don’t interfere with our compet.i.tion, alright?”

Kugu gazed coldly at Yang Ye while the killing intent in his eyes wasn’t concealed at all. If he knew that this disciple of the Sword Sect had comprehended Sword Intent, then he would have made Yang Ye vanish from the world before the Ascension Rankings had even begun officially. In that way, the Ghost Sect wouldn’t have lost an extraordinary genius now. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world!

When she saw Kugu staring at Yang Ye with a gaze that carried killing intent, Su Qings.h.i.+’s beautiful brows knit together slightly. With a flip of her palm, Green Darkness had appeared in her hand.

Meanwhile, the judge frowned and said, “Kugu, even your Ghost Sect’s Master wouldn’t be able to save you if you attacked a partic.i.p.ant during the Ascension Rankings!”

The judge wasn’t lying. The Ascension Rankings was jointly held by the six great powers and the Grand Qin Empire, and the rules were set by them as well. If Kugu dared to attack a partic.i.p.ant during the compet.i.tion, then he would undoubtedly be insulting the dignity of these powers.

There were existences in the southern territory that dared to insult these powers, but it absolutely didn’t include Kugu!

When he heard this, the killing intent in his eyes was greatly restrained, and then he grunted coldly before his figure flashed and vanished from the arena. As for Li Xianjun’s corpse, Kugu hadn’t spared it a glance since the very beginning. No matter how much of a monstrous genius Li Xianjun was in the past or how much contributions he’d made to the Ghost Sect in the past, he was worthless in the eyes of the Ghost Sect once he died….

A strand of sorrow suddenly arose in Yang Ye’s heart when he witnessed this scene. Because if he, Yang Ye, had died earlier, then the Sword Sect would probably treat him in the same way that Kugu treated Li Xianjun. At the very least, Li Xianjun was a disciple of the Ghost Sect while he wasn’t even a disciple of the Sword Sect. So, there were no grounds to criticize the Sword Sect even if they really treated him in that way!

Yang Ye suddenly smiled when he glanced at Su Qings.h.i.+ who stood by his side. Since the very beginning, he’d only represented the Sword Sect at the Ascension Rankings because of Su Qings.h.i.+. So, the Sword Sect’s att.i.tude towards him wasn’t important anymore, and the way Su Qings.h.i.+ had stood up for him just now was enough.

At most times, love wasn’t a thing where you had to obtain something from someone, and the emphasis should be placed on the price one was willing to pay for the person one loved. In the opinions of many, this was very stupid, but Yang Ye was such a person.

Su Qings.h.i.+ glanced at Yang Ye, and then her figure flashed and vanished from the arena.

After Kugu and Su Qings.h.i.+ left successively, the compet.i.tion returned to normal. Profounder after profounder stepped foot onto the arena, and then all sorts of explosions resounded on the entire square!

“Have you really cultivated a Heaven Rank technique?” Murong Yao gazed at Yang Ye who stood by her side below the arena as she asked this question.

Yang Ye was stunned, and then he shook his head and smiled before he said, “A Heaven Rank technique? I wish I had one!”

Murong Yao frowned slightly and said, “Then how did you kill Li Xianjun?”

When she finished speaking, she felt that this was slightly inappropriate, and she said, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked!”

Yang Ye smiled and said, “I’m very sorry as well but I’m really unable to tell you. However, it won’t be long before you find out how I did.”

Yes, after he finished Li Xianjun, he had even more and even stronger enemies waiting for him. During the battles with these formidable enemies, his trump cards would be exposed one by one. At that time, Murong Yao would naturally know how he’d killed Li Xianjun!

Murong Yao nodded lightly when she heard him, and then she looked at the arena.

Yang Ye was only slightly famous in the past, but after the battle between him and Li Xianjun had been concluded, his image in the hearts of everyone had instantly grown imposing. Because he’d killed a ninth rank First Heaven Realm expert who’d comprehended Slaughter Intent while facing an Earth Rank technique. Such strength was something all of them had no choice but to fear, take seriously, and be cautious against!

After all, how many amongst them had cultivated an Earth Rank technique? Moreover, it didn’t make a difference even if they’d cultivated an Earth Rank technique because Yang Ye had killed Li Xianjun while facing such a technique….

At this moment, there was only a single thought in the hearts of countless others — they hoped they wouldn’t encounter Yang Ye when they drew the subsequent lots!

“You’ve fought him in the past. So, do you know how he killed Li Xianjun?” Leng Xinran asked Wenren Yue who stood by her side. Obviously, the mysterious way Yang Ye had killed Li Xianjun just now had aroused a trace of fear in her.
