Chapter 323: The Bai Clan of Mount Taicang! Old Grudges! Child of Fortune! Battle for Inheritance!
At this time, Xu Ruoyun froze. But hearing that question, the corners of her lips couldn’t help but curve into a faint smile.
“Most likely, only him.” She already understood the young Daoist’s intent. Relief flooded her heart, and she even let out a muted laugh.
As Xu Ye heard this, he furrowed his brows, and his face grew darker.
“Are you really stupid, or just pretending? No matter what, I look exactly like one of those heroes who saves damsels in distress. How could I just take the pills and then wash my hands of the matter?” Li Yanchu sneered.
Immediately, Xu Ye’s face twitched, and that polished demeanor of a noble family’s son vanished and was replaced by raw agitation. “You bastard, you’re courting death!”
Clang! He thrust his sword forward, and the surrounding qi surged violently toward him, coalescing into a dazzling arc of sword qi.
However, Li Yanchu met it head-on with a single punch.
Bang!
Blazing blood and qi surged from his fist, shattering Xu Ye’s sword qi.
Immediately, Xu Ye’s expression turned icy. With a swift movement, he activated the Seven-Star Step and instantly appeared before Li Yanchu.His sword qi gathered again, this time bursting forth as three simultaneous arcs, each sharp enough to shear through steel.
But Li Yanchu did not retreat, instead, he advanced. His movement left afterimages in the air as he slipped through the razor-thin gaps between the sword qi. His five fingers curved like hooked talons, latching directly onto Xu Ye’s arm.
At this time, Xu Ye’s eyes widened in shock, and his face drained of color. Images of Zhuge Zheng and Tang Lin’s grisly deaths flashed through Xu Ye’s mind, and he immediately crushed a jade pendant in his hand.
