Chapter 722 – Another Slaughter Begins! (1/2)

“You’ll be giving your life away if you head over in your current state!“ The Sword Spirit stood in his path and pointed at him, “Your internal organs have moved from their right positions, and they are even damaged. Moreover, practically all your profound energy has been exhausted. How will you avenge Xiaoman if you return now?”

“I refuse to leave just like that!” Yang Ye clenched his fists. Every time he thought about how Xiaoman died for him caused him to feel like something was about to charge out from within him. It was killing intent, and it was rage as well.

The Sword Spirit said, “I know that, but you should let your body recover even if you want to take revenge, right?”

Yang Ye took a deep breath, suppressed the killing intent and rage in his heart, and said, “You’re right. I can’t be impulsive. The most important thing is to recover for now. Only by recovering to my peak would I have a chance to avenge Xiaoman.”

Yang Ye blasted the nearby lava away and sat cross-legged in midair before he withdrew some extreme-grade energy stones to start recuperating.

A ray of light flashed. The 2 Half-Saint Sword Servants appeared in front of Yang Ye, but they weren’t on their feet.

The Sword Spirit said, “They suffered that red haired old man’s attack just now. While they haven’t been completely destroyed, they are heavily injured, and they won’t be able to fight for some time. What I’m trying to say is that the red haired old man is very strong, and you might not be able to escape with such ease next time.”

Yang Ye said, “But if I leave just like that, then what about taking avenge for Xiaoman? It’s never too late for a n.o.ble man to take revenge. But I’m no n.o.ble man. I’m a petty person. I want to take revenge as soon as possible!”

She replied, “But you don’t have the strength to do that right now!”

Yang Ye said, “Who says that I don’t? I admit that I really can’t fight them in a frontal a.s.sault, but what if I launched sneak attacks?”

The Sword Spirit replied in a low voice, “You might die!”

“But have you thought about how… Xiaoman is already dead!?” said Yang Ye.

The Sword Spirit gazed at Yang Ye for a short while, and then she waved her hand. The spatial rings worn by the 2 Half-Saints instantly flew over to her palm, and she said, “There are a total of 10 1,000 year old Firecrystals within their spatial rings. It should be helpful to you.”

“I was too impatient earlier and forget about their spatial rings!” Yang Ye took the rings and glanced at their contents. Besides 10 1,000 year old Firecrystals, there were many other Firecrystals scattered within them. All of the Firecrystals were over 100 years old, and some were even around 500 years old.

“Absorbing the energy within these Firecrystals is sufficient for you to attain the fifth rank of the Monarch Realm!” She said, “However, I don’t recommend that you do that. Because your mental state wouldn’t be able to keep up, and the rise of your cultivation will cause huge latent problems to appear within you. You can choose to advance to the second rank of the Monarch Realm for now, and then slowly acc.u.mulate your strength for your next advancement. Once you’ve gained a certain level of experience and strength, you can absorb another 1,000 year old Firecrystal to charge into the next rank.”

“Alright!” Yang Ye swallowed one of the 1,000 year old Firecrystals, and then started to absorb the energy emanated from it.

…

One day later.

Yang Ye suddenly opened his eyes, and then explosive cracking resounded like firecrackers throughout his entire body.

“I’m finally at the second rank of the Monarch Realm!” Yang Ye took a deep breath, and then he glanced at the 2 Half-Saint Sword Servants who stood before him. Their injuries were almost completely healed now because he’d allowed them to absorb a 1,000 year old Firecrystal each. Not only had they recovered with the help of the 1,000 year old Firecrystal, they were even slightly stronger!

Meanwhile, the Sword Spirit suddenly spoke, “I’ve finished refining Guardian Lin’s corpse. You can take control of him now!”

Yang Ye nodded in response.

…

The Fire Spirit Race.

At this moment, its defenses were much more relaxed because their Patriarch had emerged from his closed door cultivation.

A group of profounders from the Fire Spirit Race were gathered in a room, and they were discussing something.

“I heard the Patriarch killed Yang Ye with a single slap of his palm! What a pity! The Patriarch should have captured him, extracted his soul, and sealed his soul beneath the ground. That way, he would suffer being burned all day and night, and living would be worse than death!”

“That d.a.m.nable b.i.t.c.h, Xiaoman, should suffer the same fate! It was all her fault! If she didn’t bring that madman back to our territory, our race wouldn’t have lost so many people at all. Elder Qian killed that d.a.m.nable b.i.t.c.h just like that. She really got off easily. She should have had her soul extracted and tortured as well!”

“Both of them deserve death! Especially that b.i.t.c.h, Xiaoman! My older brother wouldn’t have been killed by Yang Ye if it wasn’t for her! That d.a.m.nable b.i.t.c.h really deserves death! All of them deserve death!”

“It’s not like we don’t have the opportunity to take revenge!” Suddenly, a voice resounded from the side.

They looked over to the source of the voice.

“Qian Mei? Zhiqing?” Someone exclaimed with surprise.

Qian Mei and Zhiqing walked over to them, and then Qian Mei spoke coldly, “Yes, Yang Ye is a monstrous genius, and he was very strong. But so what? Wasn’t he still smacked to death by the Patriarch? Even though he’s dead, he still has a younger sister and wives on Profounder Continent!”

Zhiqing glanced at Qian Mei while her brows knit together slightly, but she didn’t say anything. Because only she and Qian Mei knew that Yang Ye was actually alive. The reason they said he was dead was merely because they wanted to calm the rage of the Fire Spirit Race’s members.

“Profounder Continent?” One of them frowned, “Qian Mei, are you talking about that abandoned place”

Qian Mei nodded and said, “I’ve investigated and found out that he has a younger sister and wives at the abandoned place. If we were to capture those loved ones of his, and then torture and humiliate them to death. Don’t you think that Yang Ye wouldn’t be able to rest in peace?” She was filled with both terror and hatred towards Yang Ye because she’d suffered unprecedented humiliation from him.
