Chapter 405 – The Hidden Dragon Pagoda (2/2)

An Nanjing was stunned, and then she said, “Can liking someone make me stronger?”

Yang Ye was speechless.

“Since it can’t, then what’s the point of liking someone?” An Nanjing glanced at Yang Ye and said, “I, An Nanjing, naturally have attachments, but I won’t be chained by them. But you’ve been chained by too much of it. Attachments are your greatest flaw, and you’ll be eternally unable to become an expert while you’re chained by them!”

Yang Ye shook his head and said, “I admit that you really do make sense. However, every single person seeks something different. I don’t seek to be invincible throughout the world or to reign supreme over the continent. Even though it’s very likely that I have to be invincible throughout the world in order to achieve what I seek, but I really don’t seek to be invincible throughout the world. In my opinion, the safety of my family and having the people I care about by my side is the most important!”

An Nanjing suddenly asked. “Your motivation to improve your strength incessantly comes from your attachments?”

Yang Ye smiled and said, “It really was in the past. However, I’ve noticed a principle now. In this world where the strong are respected, only strength would allow one to possess the right to make decisions and maintain one’s dignity. If one doesn’t have strength, then not to mention protecting one’s family, even surviving would be a problem. So, it can be said that my current motivation to become stronger is to survive. Haha….”

An Nanjing glanced at Yang Ye and pondered deeply for a moment before she shook her head lightly, and then she gazed at the arena as she said, “That human profounder is about to win!”

“Oh? What do you mean?” Yang Ye was instantly interested in this.

“Even though he seems to be in a disadvantaged position, but he seems extremely steady, and he shows no sign of being forced into a state of disorder. Pay attention to his eyes, his eyes are extremely calm. Besides that, every single attack of his is very decisive, and he deals with his opponent’s attacks without delay. His footsteps are very steady as well. While he seems to be suppressed on the surface, it’s actually a mere tactic to show weakness to his opponent!” An Nanjing spoke indifferently.

A wisp of a solemn expression flashed through Yang Ye’s eyes when he heard this. Even though she doesn’t possess the Enlightened Sword Heart, her discerning ability isn’t any inferior to my Enlightened Sword Heart! No wonder her senses in combat are that formidable!Right at this moment, the devil profounder on the arena suddenly shouted. “Human! Die!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a sudden and huge stride forward as he shot explosively towards Zhang Liu who’d already been forced to the edge of the arena. His hands were spread upon into palms before they whistled through the air and slapped down forcefully at Zhang Liu.

A wisp of a ruthless and strange smile flashed through Zhang Liu’s face, and then he tapped his right leg on the ground and shouted. “Clone Illusion Technique!”

As soon as he spoke, Zhang Liu’s figure shook lightly before four figures who looked like Zhang Liu appeared on the arena. The devil profounder was slightly stunned by this, and it was exactly at this instant that a cold ray of light flashed through his neck. A wisp of disdain arose on the corners of the devil profounder’s mouth because this human profounder wasn’t able to break through his defenses at all yet was attacking again!

However, delight had curled onto the corners of Yang Ye’s mouth when he witnessed this scene, and he said, “He has won!” Only Yang Ye knew that Zhang Liu had changed his dagger at the last moment, and he’d changed it to the dagger which was crafted from the dragon bones. In other words, Zhang Liu was making a show of weakness earlier, and his true lethal move had only been executed at this moment!

The dagger swept past the devil profounder’s neck, and then the disdain on his face instantly froze there! After that, his head flew off under the astounded gazes of all the spectators!

All the human profounders were stunned before waves of cheers suddenly erupted. In the Ancient Battlefield, there was nothing more exciting and delighting to the human profounders than watching a fellow human kill a profounder from the devil, nether, or demon race!

Meanwhile, Qian Huan appeared on the arena. He glanced at the corpse of that devil profounder and nodded slightly before he said, “Since the top 30 have been decided, then I invite all the profounders in the top 30 to ascend the arena!”

Yang Ye and An Nanjing flashed, and they instantly appeared on the arena. Moreover, Mo Ke had appeared at the same time as well!

“The Martial G.o.d!”

“The Sword Emperor!”

The crowd seethed once more with excitement when they saw Yang Ye and An Nanjing. Both of them were undoubtedly supreme existences in the hearts of the younger generation of the human race throughout the continent. Because only the two of them could kill the profounders from the devil, nether, and demon race like they were slaughtering chickens!

Yang Ye disregarded the cheers of the crowd below the arena. At this moment, he was extremely excited because obtaining the Karmic Luck represented that Xiao Yuxi would be truly saved!
