Chapter 495 – Astonishment! (2/2)

Besides another Sword Servant and improving a rank in his cultivation, Yang Ye had gained one more thing from this battle, and it was a low-grade Heaven Rank technique that Yuan Yan carried with him — t.i.tan’s Palm! Yang Ye was quite satisfied by this technique’s strength. After all, Yuan Yan had almost destroyed the defensive barrier of the s.h.i.+p when he executed it just now!

Even though it wasn’t a sword technique, it was still useful to Yang Ye.

After he put the technique away, Yang Ye didn’t stay here for another moment. The Ninth h.e.l.l Swordwings on his back flapped before he vanished on the spot.

On the s.h.i.+p which belonged to the Ocean of Clouds Merchant Group.

Ye Liangchen who’d woken up asked the veiled woman. “Big Sister, has that fellow, Yang Ye, really gone to kill Yuan Yan?” Ye Liangchen was overjoyed when he saw that the mermaid was still here when he woke up, and his impression of Yang Ye instantly skyrocketed when he found out that it was because of Yang Ye.

“He should have!” The veiled woman was slightly uncertain. Truthfully speaking, Yang Ye had completely overturned her understanding of monstrous geniuses. Even if it was in the central territory, only a handful of Spirit Realm experts were capable of killing Exalt Realm experts. So, if Yang Ye really killed Yuan Yan who was a sixth rank Exalt Realm expert, then he wasn’t someone that could just be described as a monstrous genius.

“I thought that even if I couldn’t defeat him, I should be able to fight him equally. But I never expected that the gap between us would be that huge. It’s really such a blow to my confidence!” Ye Liangchen sighed. As someone from the central territory, he looked down upon the profounders of the other territories just like everyone else in the central territory did. So, he didn’t really care even when he found out that Yang Ye had become the Sword Emperor. Only when he fought Yang Ye did he notice the gap between him and Yang Ye!

“He’s very strong. Even if it’s within my Mermaid Clan, no…. I should say that he’s at the top even if it’s throughout all the clans of Oceanic Creatures.” Hong Yu who was by Ye Liangchen’s side said, “But you shouldn’t lose heart. Even if there’s a gap between the two of you, it isn’t to the point that it warrants despair. You should make him your target and work hard to pursue his footsteps. Only in that way would you be able to grow stronger and stronger!”

Ye Liangchen smiled. He stretched out his hand to grab hers and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t lose heart because of him!”

Hong Yu grinned as she grabbed Ye Liangchen’s hand as well, and her eyes were filled with tender affection.

“Young Miss, are we really going to wait for him?” The old man by the veiled woman’s side said, “He’s a sworn enemy of Luo Jun’s. We shouldn’t allow ourselves to be swept into their enmity.”

The veiled woman said, “It’s already too late. It was too late since we activated the formations to attack those fellows from the Skydevil Sect and the other 3 sects. Now, we’re on the same boat as him!”

“We can give the Mortal Emperor an explanation!” said the old man.

“Do you think that he would believe it?” The veiled woman said, “Moreover, it doesn’t matter whether he believed it or not. Now that he has such an excuse, we’ll either have to submit to him or he will act against our merchant group. It’s impossible for us to stay neutral anymore!”

The old man shook his head upon hearing this. The Ocean of Clouds Merchant Group had originally maintained a neutral position and hadn’t been swept into the enmity between the Mortal Emperor and all the other territories. But even though they’d been forced to provide Yang Ye with a.s.sistance this time, would Luo Jun care about that? It was just as the veiled woman had said, it was impossible for their merchant group to remain neutral.

Right at this moment, a figure flashed through the sky, and then Yang Ye appeared before them.

Their expressions changed a little when they saw Yang Ye.

“Yang Ye, did you kill Yuan Yan?” An Xiaonan asked this question softly.

The others looked at Yang Ye.

Yang Ye didn’t answer An Xiaonan. He gazed at the veiled woman and said, “Miss Ye, how long more until we arrive at the central territory?”

The veiled woman looked ahead and said, “If those mermaids and mermen in the surroundings don’t obstruct us, then it’ll take six hours at most. However, if they do, then we’ll be delayed for a day or two because they’re able to affect the ocean or create storms!”

Yang Ye waved his hand, and then 300 top-grade energy stones appeared before the veiled woman. He said, “Go at full speed with the formations activated all along the way. Blast them to pieces!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Ye’s figure flashed into the air as he said, “Miss Ye, ask your companions to help me stop the attacks of some Exalt Rank Oceanic Creatures. I’m going to cook these fellows that are courting death!”

The veiled woman was stunned. She didn’t know what Yang Ye intended to do, but she didn’t refuse. She nodded to the others behind her, and then they flashed off into the sky.

Yang Ye nodded when he saw this. The Nether Ghostflame appeared with a flip of his palm, and a wisp of a ruthless expression flashed through his eyes as he gazed at the Oceanic Creatures in the distance before he tossed the Nether Ghostflame down towards the ocean.

“I’ll cook all of you today! Dogs of Luo Jun!”

The others were speechless when they heard this.
