C451 The Ethereal Sect Master
The sword light was like rain, and although it was ethereal and traceless, it was as firm as stone, and no matter how the ice storm wreaked havoc, it was unable to surpass the lightning pool by even a single step.
Seeing that the sword light had blocked the ice storm, the disciples of Ethereal Sect secretly took a deep breath, feeling a lingering fear of surviving the disaster.
Ye Xu's eyes narrowed. There was no need to talk about how powerful his ice storm was. However, this sword energy was able to completely block it. It was truly terrifying.
"Alright, stop it!"
While Ye Xu was still in shock, a faint voice sounded beside his ear.
Ye Xu's expression changed greatly. He turned his head and saw that beside him, a slender middle-aged scholar with a carefree expression was standing.
Ye Xu didn't even notice when this person had appeared, if it was a sword attack.
A drop of cold sweat dripped from Ye Xu's forehead. The more it sounded, the more afraid he became. His entire body couldn't help but tense up.
The strength of this middle-aged man was something he had never seen before in his life.
"Who are you?!"
Ye Xu took a deep breath and asked while suppressing his madly beating heart.
"Who am I? You are from the Ethereal Sect, but you don't know who I am?"
A trace of astonishment flashed across the middle-aged scholar's eyes. He looked at Ye Xu with a smile that wasn't a smile.
Ye Xu shook his head.
The middle-aged scholar smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, he pointed.
The sword light suddenly split into two, then two into four, forming a storm of sword energy that shattered the ice and snow. The earth once again became clear.
"Incredible..."
Ye Xu was shocked when he saw that the sword Qi had destroyed his storm of ice and snow.
He was afraid that even if he pulled out the Nine Tribulation Divine Sword, he might not be a match for this man.
He was afraid that his cultivation base had already far surpassed the Heavenly Stage.
While Ye Xu was still in a daze, he saw Huo Lie and the others bowing together.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
The middle-aged scholar with a carefree expression slightly nodded and said, "There is no need to be overly courteous. The injured disciples will first treat their injuries. The uninjured disciples will clean up the mess!"
Huo Lie and the others once again bowed and said, "Yes, we will follow your orders!"
After saying this, they each began to move.
The middle-aged scholar raised his head to look at Ye Xu and said with a smile, "Now you know who I am!"
Ye Xu took a deep breath and silently nodded.
Qin Xiao was the Sect Master of the Ethereal Sect in the Taiping Mountain. He was a genius in the way of the sword. At the age of ten, he had comprehended the sword intent. At the age of twenty, he had fought opponents of the same level as him from all over the world and had not lost a single battle. At the age of thirty, he had broken through to the Great Completion and advanced to the Heavenly Stage. Now, he was already fifty years old.
However, his face was pale and red, and his skin was like a newborn baby. Looking at his face, he was at most thirty years old. He was at the peak of a warrior with vigorous qi and blood.
All kinds of legends made Ye Xu's heart beat wildly.
He didn't think that he would cause havoc in the Ethereal Sect and cause the appearance of the Ethereal Sect's Master, Qin Xiao.
He had almost destroyed the Ethereal Sect. If he was the Sect Master, he would definitely punish him severely.
"You are called Ye Xu, right? This year's Hunting Competition is really eye-catching!"
Fortunately, Qin Xiao did not blame Ye Xu. His tone was very calm.
Ye Xu did not know what Qin Xiao meant and just nodded his head.
Qin Xiao observed Ye Xu's expression and knew what Ye Xu was thinking. So he smiled and said, "Don't worry. If I want to kill you, you don't even have the right to see me. I'll give you two hours to settle your own matters, then come to the summit to find me! Don't think about running, you won't be able to escape! "
With a loud laugh, Qin Xiao turned into a sword light and disappeared without a trace.
Ye Xu looked at Qin Xiao's back with a complicated expression. On the surface, it seemed like the Ethereal Sect Master was kind to him, but Ye Xu wasn't so naive as to think that Qin Xiao would be such a good person.
He was definitely not a good person to be able to control the entire Ethereal Sect.
However, no matter what Qin Xiao thought, Ye Xu could only face him calmly. After all, Qin Xiao didn't have any killing intent.
Ye Xu's eyes turned cold. He descended from the sky and landed in front of Hongxue.
"I've said it before. No one can stop you from killing me today!"
Hongxue, who thought that the Sect Master would save his life, heard Ye Xu's words. He immediately knelt down and hugged Ye Xu's leg as he cried.
"Spare my life, please spare my life, I was wrong, I was wrong..."
"I am a pig, I am a dog, I am a beast. Master, please spare my dog life!"
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."
Miserable screams resounded throughout the residence of the upper echelons of Ethereal Sect. All of them looked at Hongxue with furious eyes.
If it wasn't for him, this place wouldn't have been destroyed.
The culprit behind all of this was Hongxue.
Ye Xu looked at Hongxue quietly, but his mood didn't change at all.
"A person like you, living in this world, is just a waste of food. You have a vicious heart, and you are framing me. Even if I want to spare you, the heavens will not spare you!"
Hongxue suddenly jumped up and dashed down the mountain crazily.
"Ye Xu, you can't kill me..."
Looking at Hongxue's fleeing figure, Ye Xu raised his finger. A sword energy shot out and pierced through Hongxue's back.
"Bang..."
His chest exploded, and his internal organs flew out. Hongxue's body was sent flying several meters away by the sword energy, and he crashed into the ground.
The life force in his eyes gradually disappeared. Hongxue stretched out his hand, and tried his best to crawl forward.
After crawling for dozens of steps, he left a trail of blood on the ground. It was truly frightening.
All of a sudden, Hongxue's body trembled. The life force in his eyes had completely disappeared.
Regret, unwillingness, fear, and resentment were still lingering in his eyes.
He had schemed his entire life, and in the end, he died under his own scheme.2
All the upper echelons of Ethereal Sect silently looked at Hongxue's corpse, none of them made a sound.
"Ye Zi, this is amazing! Even the Sect Master was startled!"
At this moment, Wang Xiu and the others surrounded him. They looked at Ye Xu and laughed out loud.
The only one who could laugh was Wang Xiu, who had no brain.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Ning Jing slapped the back of Wang Xiu's head hard.
"You can still laugh? You're in big trouble now!"
Wang Xiu held his head and said with a bitter smile, "I know I am in big trouble, but even if it is, it is still troublesome. Don't tell me I still want to cry?"
Seeing that Ning Jing wanted to beat Wang Xiu up, Ye Xu smiled and said, "Alright, Ning Jing, be gentle. Don't always be like a tomboy. In fact, what Wang Xiu said is right. Since things have come to this, I can only face it!"
Ning Jing put her hands on her hips and puffed up her face. She did not say a word in a huff.
Wang Xiu gave Ye Xu a grateful look and said with a smile, "Do you see that? Even Yezi agrees with my opinion. This isn't something you can face alone. If you want to fight, let's fight together. What's there to be afraid of? It's no big deal. We are not staying in Ethereal Sect anymore! "
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone agreed with them.
Ning Cheng also patted his chest and said, "That's right. Ye Zi, where are you going? Where are we going?"
Looking at the excited crowd, Ye Xu was also very excited. He smiled and said, "Don't say such sad words for now. It's not my fault. I still don't know the result. Wait for my news!"
