Chapter 679 – Blood Covers The Ground! (1/2)
“Both of you aren’t a match for me!” An indifferent voice resounded from beneath the grey robed man’s cloak, and then both Yang Ye and An Nanjing were pushed back by a wave of enormous force. They were pushed almost 30m away before they stopped themselves!
“I refuse to believe that!” Yang Ye flipped his left hand, and then the Stone of Suppression appeared there. The effects of the Stone of Suppression caused the grey robed man and all the experts of the Exalted Han Empire to be instantly suppressed to a lower realm of cultivation!
The expressions of Emperor Han and the others changed drastically, and they didn’t hesitate to turn around and flee.
“Kill!” Yang Ye stomped his right foot on the ground, and then he instantly arrived before the grey robed man before stabbing his sword right at the grey robed man’s chest. Meanwhile, An Nanjing appeared on his right, and her spear emanated a dazzling glow as it stabbed towards the grey robed man’s chest as well.
A strange and thin dark blue energy barrier appeared before the grey robed man when their attacks were just over a dozen centimeters away from the grey robed man’s chest.
Bang!
The barrier shook violently from the collision and countless cracks appeared on it. Moreover, the grey robed man who stood behind it was forced to take 5 steps backward.
“Break!” Yang Ye suddenly twisted his right hand, and the barrier instantly shattered apart before his sword and An Nanjing’s spear stabbed swiftly at the grey robed man who was exposed now.
The grey robed man slowly clenched his fists, and then numerous strange dark blue symbols appeared on his hands. He finally smashed his fists against the tips of their weapons when Yang Ye and An Nanjing’s attacks arrived before him!
Bang!
The ground in an area of over 1km around the grey robed man rumbled as it collapsed, but the grey robed man didn’t move at all.
Yang Ye and An Nanjing’s pupils constricted because his strength was much more formidable than they’d imagined!
“Back!” The grey robed man shouted, and then both An Nanjing and Yang Ye’s weapons suddenly warped at a strange angle before both of them moved over 30m back.
A wisp of a ferocious expression flashed through Yang Ye’s eyes as he swiftly sheathed his intent sword, and then immediately drew it. A beam of violet sword energy flashed forward and instantly appeared in front of the grey robed man. The powerful Sword Intent and terrifying strength contained within the violet sword energy caused the s.p.a.ce around the grey robed man to be severely warped.
However, the grey robed man still remained completely motionless and steady like a mountain!~
The grey robed man clenched his fists once more when the sword energy was only a few centimeters away, and then he smashed them against it!
Bang!
The sword energy was blasted apart while the grey robed man took over 10 steps back!
Yang Ye’s pupils constricted. He actually resisted it! That attack just now had 6 Heavenrends overlapped within it, and it was even enhanced with the 3rd stage of the Critical Strike technique! Yang Ye was very confident that even a ninth rank Monarch Realm expert wouldn’t be able to resist that attack with such ease. However, the grey robed man had succeeded, and it was even after he’d activated the Stone of Suppression!
Who exactly is he?
An Nanjing’s expression had turned serious as well, and she tightened her grip on Skysplit.
The grey robed man glanced at his hands. There was a bleeding scar on them. He said, “I never expected that you would actually be able to injure me. Looks like I still underestimated you. Let’s leave today’s matter as it is. You can forget about killing me as well. Because unless your master acts against me, otherwise no one on this continent is able to kill me. It’s impossible even if you join forces with that little girl. Perhaps you can give it a try once both of you have attained the Monarch Realm!”
“You’re a Half-Saint!” Yang Ye spoke in a low voice.
The grey robed man replied, “Yang Ye, your character is the reason you possess such attainments in the Sword Dao, but you’ll also encounter a huge amount of trouble because of it. The headstrong never live long, it’s a principle that’s existed since the ancient times. If you don’t know how to act according to the situation, then your future will be filled with trouble. That’s all I have to say. Do as you please!” The grey robed man and Yin Xuan’er vanished once he finished speaking.
Yang Ye remained silent on the spot for a short while, and then he said, “The southern territory would have instantly lost 2 enemies and gained 2 allies if I agreed just now. But I didn’t agree because I wanted to destroy the Exalted Han Empire’s royal family. Besides this incident, there have been many similar incidents in the past. They wouldn’t have developed to the worst possible scenario if I was able to be flexible. An Nanjing, was I wrong?”
An Nanjing walked over to face Yang Ye, and then she stretched out a finger and pointed it at Yang Ye’s chest. She said, “Right or wrong isn’t important, what’s important is that your own conscience is clear. Ask yourself if you would feel guilty from annihilating the Exalted Han Empire!”
Yang Ye shook his head. The Exalted Han Empire had acted against him on more than one occasion with the intention of killing him. He’d wanted to avenge that enmity for a long time. So, how could he possibly feel guilty? Moreover, he refused to believe the Exalted Han Empire, even if it surrendered!
An Nanjing said, “Since it’s like that, then why care about what he said? Since there’s no guilt or fear in your heart, then you should advance courageously. I’ll be there with you!”
Yang Ye fell silent for a while before he smiled, “You’re right. If I agreed just now, then I might have gained 2 allies, but that wouldn’t be what I desire. Moreover, how could I, Yang Ye, submit to another’s threats? So, let’s go. I intend to personally bury this ancient empire that has existed for over 10,000 years!”
Rumble!
