Chapter 721 – Attack Again! (1/2)

The Patriarch of the Fire Spirit Race!

Qian Yan instantly heaved a sigh of relied because he was safe now.

The other members of the Fire Spirit Race felt the same as well because they didn’t have to worry about being slaughtered anymore.

Yang Ye and the Sword Spirit had solemn expressions on their faces. Just a glance at him allowed Yang Ye to realize that the old man wasn’t someone he could fight right now, even if he had 2 Sword Servants at the Half-Saint Realm and the Stone of Suppression.

After he appeared here, the old man paid no attention to the surroundings, and he raised his head to look up into the sky instead. A short while pa.s.sed before he frowned slightly and said, “It has been a few hundred years. This time, the defiant profounders aren’t just waiting for a chance to cause trouble, they intend to swarm out completely!”

Meanwhile, Xu Zhiqing walked over to the old man and bowed, “Grandpa Patriarch, Zhiqing shouldn’t have disturbed your closed door cultivation, but I had no other choice. Our Fire Spirit Race has suffered a calamity. I had no choice but to summon you and ask you to avenge the dead members of our race so that they may rest in peace.” As she spoke, she started to describe Yang Ye’s atrocities. Of course, she couldn’t avoid exaggerating during this process.

A short while pa.s.sed before the old man gazed at Yang Ye. Yang Ye’s heart shook because the old man’s gaze seemed like it could pierce through his entire body! Yang Ye hurriedly circulated his Sword Intent to form a barrier before himself. However, that feeling of being seen through still remained!

Yang Ye was astounded because he realized that the old man was much stronger than he’d expected!

“A rare genius!” The old man said, “I intended to kill you, but I treasure geniuses. Stay and I won’t kill you!”

Qian Yan’s expression changed, “Patriarch, he killed so many members of our race, and he even refined Elder Chi and Elder Yu into puppets. We….”

Qian Yan hadn’t been able to finish speaking because the old man interrupted him, “Qian Yan, I can accept that you have selfish motives because everyone has some. However, I really dislike it when the members of our race do things that harm other members of our race because of their own selfish motives. Yet you, did exactly that. I’m not talking about Yang Ye, I’m talking about how you seized the opportunity to kill Tong Fen’s granddaughter!”

Qian Yan’s expression changed. He wanted to say something in response, but the old man waved his hand and said, “It has come to pa.s.s, so it’s pointless regardless of what you say.”

When he spoke up to this point, he gazed at Tong Fen who stood at the side with a gloomy expression on his face. The old man said, “Little Tong, I watched you grow up, and I understand your temper. I’ve never thought about asking you to give up on your revenge, but the defiant profounders are about to emerge right now, and our Fire Spirit Race has lost 3 Half-Saints now. Internal conflict can’t be allowed to occur right now.”

“So Xiaoman died in vain?” Tong Fen spoke with a savage expression on his face.

The old man replied, “If both of you survive after the defiant profounders are dealt with, then both of you can have a fair fight. If you die in battle yet Qian Yan survives, then I’ll personally deal with it for you and avenge your granddaughter!”

Qian Yan’s pupils constricted. A short while pa.s.sed before he lowered his head slightly, and a cold glow flashed through his eyes.

Tong Fen gazed at the red haired old man for a short while before he said, “Patriarch, I trust you!” As he spoke, he walked over and stood behind the old man.

The old man nodded, and then he gazed at Yang Ye before he said, “What about you?”

“I won’t become enemies with the Fire Spirit Race if Qian Yan dies!” said Yang Ye in response.

“Tell me what you would do if Qian Yan isn’t killed!” said the old man.

“I’m very curious as well. What would you do if I don’t die!?” Qian Yan spoke as well.

Yang Ye gazed at the old man and spoke seriously, “The Fire Spirit Race will definitely be annihilated!”

Qian Yan laughed with ridicule and said, “You?”

The old man spoke as well, “You don’t have such strength!”

“Haha!” Yang Ye chuckled and said, “I know that I’m unable to annihilate your race right now, and it’s even to the extent that leaving safely will be a problem for me!”

“At least you know the extent of your ability!” Qian Yan ridiculed.

Yang Ye gazed at the red haired old man and said, “You’re a Half-Saint, a true living fossil. So all the Half-Saints here would definitely be unable to defeat you, let alone me. However, don’t forget that I have backing as well. I presume you’re aware of what happened to the members of the Hallowed Halls on Profounder Continent. Yes, I have 2 extraordinary Half-Saints standing behind me. They aren’t at the Hallowed Grounds right now, but it doesn’t mean that they can’t come here.”

Yang Ye withdrew a jade slip as he spoke, “Should I call them here right now, and then ask them to fight your Fire Spirit Race to the death? I guarantee that all the members of your race who’re beneath the Half-Saint Realm will definitely be annihilated before backup from the other experts of the Hallowed Grounds can arrive!” As he finished speaking, Yang Ye’s eyes turned scarlet red while he seemed like he’d gone mad.

The Sword Spirit glanced at Yang Ye yet didn’t speak a single word.

“Stop trying to trick us!” Qian Yan spoke in a low voice.

Yang Ye replied, “Then why don’t you give it a try?”

Qian Yan was about to attack when the Grand Elder stopped him and said, “The Hallowed Grounds sent 10 Half-Saints and countless Monarch Realm experts to the continent, and they were even led by Xuan Kong who brought the Stone of Suppression with him. In the end, Xuan Kong died, countless Monarch Realm experts fell, and a few Half-Saints perished as well. However, this fellow, Yang Ye, is still alive. He isn’t lying. Top-rate experts really do exist on the continent!”

Qian Yan’s expression turned unsightly as he said, “Could it be that we’re going to be threatened just like that?”

The Grand Elder said, “Let the Patriarch decide!”

The red haired old man gazed at Yang Ye for a short while before he said, “I’d intended to spare you so that you could be of use to me Fire Spirit Race. But you’re too vicious and murderous. If you’re allowed to live, then you’ll definitely become a formidable enemy for my race. So….”

“Suppress him and put the Sword Servants away!” Right at this moment, the Sword Spirit suddenly shouted. Yang Ye didn’t hesitate to activate the Stone of Suppression and instantly suppress the old man to the ninth rank of the Monarch Realm. After that, he placed the Sword Servants in the Primordial PaG.o.da. At the same time, the Sword Spirit’s voice resounded once more, “Sword Flight!”

As soon as her voice resounded, a bright ball of light that was formed from swords appeared beneath Yang Ye and her feet.

A ray of light flashed, and then both of them vanished on the spot.
