Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

"Kid, hand over that Treasure Sword of yours, and I might consider letting you live. Otherwise, I, Ye Qianhan, will show you the consequences of daring to draw a sword in my presence."

Ye Qianhan's face was a mask of arrogance.

The people around him showed no fear either.

The man surnamed Chu, who had been flattering him earlier, even looked on with regret.

Like Ye Qianhan, he clearly coveted the Bloodthirsty Sword in Yang Xiao's hand.

As for Yang Xiao, he paid them no mind.

Ten meters in a single step.

He continued to approach them.

This was because his Bloodthirsty Sword was only a Low Grade Treasure Weapon, and its area of effect was a mere ten-meter radius. Although the group wasn't far, they were still nearly a hundred meters away.

So, if Yang Xiao wanted to save Yue Lingxi, he had to close the distance.

As long as he could pull them into his Celestial Demon Force Field, they were all dead men.

He could even decide exactly how they would die.

"Senior Brother Ye, there's something off about this kid."

Seeing Yang Xiao close in, ten meters at a stride, someone said in a low voice.

A flicker of light crossed Ye Qianhan's eyes, and he was just about to speak.

But the man surnamed Chu beside him spoke up carelessly, "What could be off about a mere peasant from the Barbaric Land? Even if he has a Treasure Weapon, with his cultivation and strength, how much of its power can he even use? Didn't you see him? He can only cross ten meters in a single step. What's so scary about that kind of speed?"

"That's right, Senior Brother Chuu is right. So what if this guy is strong? Given Senior Brother Ye's status, would he dare to make a move?"

"Exactly! Senior Brother Ye is a Direct Lineage disciple of the Immortal Dao City's Ye Family, the rulers of the Eastern Domain. His father is the Sect Leader of the Profound Celestial Sect, one of the ten great Sects of the Eastern Domain! Besides, we're all True Disciples of the Profound Celestial Sect. This guy has an Immortal Dao Aura, so he's obviously a disciple from a branch sect in the Barbaric Region. How could he dare to defy his superiors when he sees us, disciples from the main sect?"

The group immediately started chattering all at once.

Arrogance was written all over their faces.

But a glint flashed in Yang Xiao's eyes.

'The Eastern Domain Ye Family? People from the main Profound Celestial Sect? What a coincidence.'

Yang Xiao smiled to himself.

'If I'm not mistaken, the Eastern Domain Ye Family are the descendants of my Junior Brother Xuan Yang. They're my target this time. And the Profound Celestial Sect…'

'That Sect brings back so many memories.'

'If I didn't wipe out this main sect as well, wouldn't I be letting down the disciples of the Carefree Sect who nearly died at Xuan Tianxin's hands?'

At that thought, his speed increased again.

Because these people were so full of themselves and thought Yang Xiao would never dare to attack, he soon enveloped everyone, including Yue Lingxi, within his Celestial Demon Force Field.

And just like that, the expressions on Ye Qianhan and the others changed.

But it was too late.

"What's going on? Huh? Why am I seeing Senior Sister Hongmei?"

someone cried out softly.

Before his eyes, the figure of a beautiful woman in a red dress had appeared.

"What Senior Sister Hongmei? That's clearly Junior Sister Qinghan, okay? Junior Sister Qinghan, I was wondering if you were free today? This senior brother would like to invite you to watch the sunrise at Donghuang Mountain. How about it?"

Another person was even more absurd, starting a conversation with the illusion before him.

Moreover, his hands kept groping at the empty air, as if searching for something.

A sycophantic, lecherous grin spread across his face.

"AH! Liu Qingfeng, you stole my Sister Fu! I'll fight you to the death!"

The most surprising one was Liu Xuan.

He had been closest to Yang Xiao and was the first to come into contact with the Celestial Demon Force Field. He should have been the first to go mad, but unexpectedly, he only reacted after the others had already started.

Having stood there in a daze, his mind already filled with layers of illusions, he finally let out a great roar. A longsword glowing with green light appeared in his hand, and he began to wield it.

He lunged, stabbing at a rock in front of him.

CRACK!

The rock shattered into pieces.

And the disciple surnamed Chu had not escaped Yang Xiao's grasp either.

At first, he stood motionless.

It seemed he was resisting the illusion.

But after a moment, the illusion took hold. He actually lunged straight for Ye Qianhan, roaring.

"Ye Qianhan, you caused the death of my fiancée, Lingg Yan! Today, I, Chu Tianming, will kill you and avenge her!"

As he spoke, a blood-red longsword appeared in his hand, and he swung it directly at Ye Qianhan.

At this moment, nearly everyone had fallen into an illusion. For some, the woman who occupied the deepest part of their heart appeared before their eyes, causing them to lose their minds.

For others, like Liu Xuan and Chu Tianming, the hatred in their hearts was drawn out, and they attacked their enemies, whether imaginary or real.

Others seemed to see some kind of Divine Skill Secret Technique they desperately desired. They stared with delight, then began to cultivate it on the spot.

This caused their True Qi to go haywire. If they continued, they would 100% cultivate themselves to death.

Only Ye Qianhan was different.

Streams of clear light flashed across his body. Relying on his profound cultivation, he managed to stay lucid. However, Chu Tianming's lunge still left him in a sorry state.

He dodged left and right.

At the same time, anger flared in his heart.

He never imagined that Chu Tianming, who had always been so sycophantic, would actually want to kill him.

'Didn't he personally deliver that Lingg Yan woman to my own residence?'

'That treacherous animal.'

Aside from him, even Yue Lingxi's eyes flickered with a strange light.

Because in her mind's eye, she saw Yang Xiao.

She had clearly been affected by the Celestial Demon Force Field as well.

However, noticing this, Yang Xiao immediately reacted, releasing her from its influence and allowing her to instantly regain her clarity.

The others, however, received no such favorable treatment.

"Stop! Stop it at once!"

Just then, Ye Qianhan, who had just broken free from Chu Tianming in the distance, seemed to finally realize something was wrong. He forced himself to focus and shouted at Yang Xiao. Upon seeing Chu Tianming collapsed on the ground, already a mangled pulp of flesh and blood, Yang Xiao's expression changed.

'This guy can actually still stay lucid?'

At the same time, he saw Ye Qianhan walking toward him step by step—or more precisely, toward Yue Lingxi's position.

His expression was one of utter disbelief as he said, "Do you have any idea who I am? Do you know the consequences of what you're doing?"

It seemed that even at death's door, he was still trying to pull rank.

But Yang Xiao had seen through his intentions long ago.

His figure flashed.

He appeared in front of Yue Lingxi.

Instantly, a flicker of despair crossed Ye Qianhan's eyes.

His ploy had been seen through.

But even at this point, Ye Qianhan still didn't give up.

His heart hardened with resolve.

With a furious roar, he shouted, "I'll risk it all!"

A silver light flashed, and a longsword of the Spirit Weapon Level appeared in his hand. With a SWISH, he lunged at Yang Xiao.

In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Yang Xiao.

It seemed as if it would pierce through his body in the very next second!

The speed was extreme, a desperate, all-or-nothing burst of power. Even Yang Xiao was caught off guard and didn't react immediately.

Suddenly, the situation became critical!
