Chapter 171 - 168: Strange Tactics
"Kid, you’ve crossed paths with our Sacred Church time and again, and I haven’t even started looking for trouble with you, yet here you are, delivering yourself to my doorstep?" the puppet Demon General’s gaze was icy as he stared at Ye Xuan, speaking in a chilling tone.
While speaking, the puppet Demon General’s gaze also subtly swept across the surrounding forest—if everyone from the Heavenly Martial Hall had come, the situation would indeed be difficult to predict.
"I’m not so idle that I go around picking fights with your Black Demon Sect all the time; it’s just that every time, your schemes fall upon my head, and I have no choice but to fight back. I think today your Black Demon Sect won’t be able to annihilate Green Leaf Valley either, so why not just retreat now? It’ll save us both a fight."
Ye Xuan’s face was calm, and he appeared composed, but inside, his heart was anything but still. At the moment, the forces of Green Leaf Valley had been decimated, leaving only a few straggling survivors, while the Black Demon Sect still had an overwhelming number of followers. If a fight really broke out, he could at most protect himself.
"Haha, just like that, retreat? Kid, you’ve killed the Yama Ghost General of my Sacred Church and still dare to show yourself so arrogantly before the Black Demon Sect. Now that you’ve crossed my path today, do you think you can still escape?"
The puppet Demon General let out a cold laugh. Realizing that Ye Xuan had come alone, his killing intent surged. Ye Xuan was a highly sought-after fugitive within the Black Demon Sect—if he could be slain here, it would indeed rid them of a significant thorn in their side.
"What, Ye Xuan actually killed the Yama Ghost General?"
Song Peifeng and Elder Zhao looked at each other from not far behind, their faces showing a hint of shock. The Yama Ghost General was an even more troublesome entity than the puppet Demon General and had actually fallen at the hands of Ye Xuan?
But what they didn’t know was that Ye Xuan had killed the Yama Ghost General back when he was still a Seventh Grade Martial Master. It was only possible because the latter’s strength had been exhausted due to a seal, allowing Ye Xuan to succeed. If it had been in his prime, even the current Ye Xuan would likely not be a match.
Seeing the surge of aggressive energy in the puppet Demon General, Ye Xuan’s face also quickly became solemn. He then turned to look at Song Peifeng and the others and shouted, "You all go first, I’ll cover you!"
