Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Chapter 322: Vicious Mind, You Deserve to Die

"Fair? The Celestial Dao Rules have never been fair. If these emotions can be taken, then so be it. If not, then you can’t blame me! Celestial Secret God Master, thank you for your help, but please, take it back. I, Ye Tianling, will bear the consequences of my own actions. I won’t cause you any trouble!"

With a single kiss, Ye Tianling let Ye Yuemei know his heart.

In that case, nothing else mattered. ’Heartless?’

Even if he were heartless, with Ye Yuemei’s intelligence, she would surely figure out the cause and effect.

"Forget it. Have it your way this once. After that, we must leave as soon as possible. We can’t delay any longer."

The Celestial Secret God Master’s voice, spoken with Celestial Secret Power, was transmitted directly into Ye Tianling’s mind. No one else could hear it—but there was one exception.

That was Ye Tianxi.

A vicious glint flashed through Ye Tianxi’s heart before vanishing. She almost instantly put on an affectionate expression, and the hatred in her eyes was consumed by her Immortal Phoenix Flame Nirvana, disappearing completely.

"Brother Tianling—the clan members are all dead! The Clan Leader was killed by Ye Cangqian! He died such a horrible death! He was beheaded, and Ye Cangqian devoured him bite by bite!

And my little sister, Yun’Er... Ye Cangqian hacked her in two, defiled her corpse, and hung it from the gate of the Ye Race..."

Tears poured from Ye Tianxi’s eyes.

Using her Nirvana Technique, her phoenix eyes became terrifyingly powerful, able to see through the True Void and even perceive the Celestial Secret Transmission.

Thus, she instantly learned Ye Tianling’s secret. Deep within her phoenix eyes was an unparalleled hatred for him, equal to the hatred she held for Ye Cangqian.

And now, she began her performance.

Her sobs were genuinely heartbroken, and she truly wept tears of blood.

Her anguish and pain were ninety percent genuine, ten percent an act.

"What... Father..."

Ye Yuemei froze. She instinctively pulled away from Ye Tianling’s embrace, looking as though she’d been struck by lightning.

"Father... Father is dead?"

Ye Yuemei was in a dreamlike trance, utterly stunned.

"They’re dead. All of the Ye Clan People are dead!"

Ye Tianxi’s voice trembled as she spoke. She looked at Ye Tianling with tear-filled eyes and said, "Brother Tianling, hand Ye Cangqian over to me. I want to watch him die with my own eyes. I want to avenge my little sister and the Ye Clan People!"

She used this display of hatred to conceal her own hatred for Ye Tianling.

Ye Tianling frowned slightly. He gave Ye Tianxi a cold, harsh glare and, without another word, slapped her across the face.

*PFFT—*

Ye Tianxi was sent flying.

"Brother Tianling, you—"

’Rage surged in Ye Tianxi’s heart, a silent, violent roar.’

"Such poisonous words, such a malicious heart. You deserve to die!"

The Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword suddenly materialized in Ye Tianling’s hand, and he unleashed a ferocious strike.

*BOOM—*

The sword strike was incomparably powerful, but as it flew, Ye Tianxi casually waved a hand, sending out a stream of flame in a vain attempt to block it.

But even though Ye Tianling was in a terrible state, that one strike was imbued with his will to slaughter. It still nearly killed Ye Tianxi outright.

*SCHLICK—*

The sword pierced straight through the center of Ye Tianxi’s brows.

Blood splattered as the space between Ye Tianxi’s brows split open. Her body trembled violently. A look of shock, astonishment, and utter disbelief filled her eyes as she murmured, "Brother Tianling, I... I liked you so much... Why... why did you have to hide... hide..."

She didn’t get to finish. Ye Tianling gathered his power for another sword strike, preparing to obliterate Ye Tianxi in an instant.

"Your hatred is monstrous, your killing intent, astonishing! Leaving you alive would only create an endless scourge!"

Ye Tianling declared with a cold snort.

"Brother Tianling, she... that’s Little Sister Tianxi! She..."

Ye Yuemei was stunned. Still reeling from the news of her father’s death, she hadn’t yet come to her senses.

When she finally did, she found her clan sister, Ye Tianxi, on the verge of death, and she trembled in alarm.

"I know. But she wants to kill me, so she has to die."

Ye Tianling’s tone was cold and detached.

"Brother Tianling, you..."

Ye Yuemei choked on her words, then turned to look at Ye Tianxi. "Tianxi, why? What has Brother Tianling done wrong? Why do you want to kill him?"

Ye Yuemei had clearly taken Ye Tianling’s side.

"I... I’m just full of hate. My sister was defiled, and he captured Ye Cangqian but didn’t kill him. Could it be that he’s in league with Ye Cangqian? Since he was already expelled from the Ye Race, what does he have to do with us anymore? Why did his enemies come to settle scores with us instead?

I refuse to accept it! Is that not allowed?

’Kill him?’ Could I possibly kill him, Ye Tianling, the Celestial Secret Divine Son? Not to mention, the Celestial Secret God Master is still here."

Ye Tianxi kept her Immortal Phoenix Nirvana Talent concealed, not letting it erupt.

After that one exchange, she had already discovered that she was still no match for Ye Tianling.

Although Ye Tianling’s Battle Power had fallen, his lingering might remained.

She needed to wait.

"Let’s go, Tianling. We’re running out of Time."

The Celestial Secret Elder gave Ye Tianxi a deep look, as if seeing right through her thoughts in a single glance, but he said nothing.

His voice manifested in Ye Tianling’s mind.

Ye Tianling’s eyes turned icy. He directly activated the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword, manifesting the Celestial Evil Heaven-Breaking Annihilation Dao, and lunged at Ye Tianxi.

He intended to annihilate Ye Tianxi in a single blow—he instinctively felt that she was a menace.

Right now, his Soul Talent was completely useless against this Ye Tianxi; he couldn’t discern any information from her at all. This also made him slightly uneasy.

"Brother Tianling, stop. She and Tianyun helped us both out quite a bit in the past. Tianyun is dead, all the Ye Clan People are dead... she’s bound to be upset and feel some resentment."

Pain swirled in Ye Yuemei’s eyes. She still didn’t know what had truly happened to her father.

But with Ye Tianxi acting like this, she desperately wanted to know the specific details of what had occurred.

Ye Yuemei spoke, but Ye Tianling had no intention of listening. He tightened his grip on the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword, preparing to unleash the attack he had gathered.

But at that moment, his Battle Power clearly began to plummet, and his strength dropped even further.

As a result, he didn’t launch the attack. Ye Tianling naturally adapted to the change in his Battle Power and withdrew the strike.

With his Battle Power so diminished, he might not even be a match for an ordinary Void Realm cultivator now.

This Ye Tianxi, he didn’t know what kind of fortuitous encounter she’d had, but she now possessed the power of the Nine Transformations of Sword Void Realm. Her body emanated an aura that was enough to give him a sense of crisis.

Ye Tianling’s body trembled slightly.

*PFFT—*

He coughed, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He then gave Ye Tianxi a faint glance and said, "This is your only warning! Don’t harbor any ill intentions. So-called life and death are just a matter of us not being strong enough, our faction not being powerful enough. Even if it weren’t for me, those who were fated to die would still have died. If you don’t want to die, then turn yourself from a weakling into a powerhouse! Don’t just blame others for your lot in life!"

As Ye Tianling spoke, he directly gathered the Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden technique, condensing an Energy similar to a Life and Death Talisman. He instantly activated the Kunpeng Carefree Travel Body Technique, shot toward Ye Tianxi, and struck her with this Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden technique.
