Chapter 369 - 366 Conflict
Clang!
Two cold lights clashed; Ye Xuan’s sword struck the large cleaver, sending sparks flying everywhere. In the next moment, the middle-aged man swiftly retreated, nearly failing to keep hold of his weapon in hand.
"Good lad, you’ve got some tricks."
The middle-aged man’s expression darkened, realizing he had underestimated Ye Xuan. This was only the first strike, and Ye Xuan had already parried it, almost causing him to lose his weapon.
However, he still didn’t take Ye Xuan seriously, instead, a cold sneer grew in his heart. After landing a blow, the young man didn’t seize the opportunity to hastily counterattack, which was utterly foolish. Had Ye Xuan reacted a bit quicker just now, he might have indeed been capsized into the gutter.
But little did he know, Ye Xuan wasn’t slow to react; it was all intentional.
Should Ye Xuan exhibit too brilliant a performance, needless to say, later the others from the Evil Moon Cave would definitely target him, and even possibly launch a joint attack against him. Why should he exert his full strength? Besides, apart from Zi Yuqing, the others from the Black Market were all greedy. Ye Xuan had no real intention of helping them; he would just wait and see how things unfolded.
For now, he would just spar with this middle-aged man, no need to rush to defeat his opponent.
Palace battles continued raging everywhere. Among them, Ao Wuchang’s opponent was a tall elder from the Evil Moon Cave. Facing each other, Ao Wuchang clearly lacked experience. Though he hadn’t shown signs of defeat yet, his demonic power consumption was much greater than his opponent’s. Continuing this fight, the loser would definitely be Ao Wuchang.
However, the most crucial battle was between Zi Yuqing and the Heavenly Evil King. In terms of cultivation, Zi Yuqing had just stepped into the Seventh Grade Demon King realm not long ago, whereas the Heavenly Evil King’s cultivation was already very close to that of a Half-step Demon Venerable. There was still a gap in cultivation between the two.
But after closer examination, Ye Xuan could tell that Zi Yuqing’s defense seemed much stronger than the Heavenly Evil King’s, which was the main reason she could compensate for her inferior cultivation.
