A youth hissed through gritted teeth, Damn it, does the Han Clan plan to ruin all relationships with us? They actually sent a great Heaven Ascension cultivator to kill us!

His name was Ye Dongke. He was as thin and straight as a spear, and his skin was a bronze shade like it was cast from bronze, adding to his stern and fierce bearing.

Ye Dongke, another woman, and a group of servants were being hunted down, which they were panicking and furious about.

The one chasing them was a well-known great cultivator of the Han Clan, one of the three major forces in the East Sea of the Empire.

The Han Clan was their sworn enemy!

Even if the two were enemies, they rarely clashed in the past to avoid damage to their respective sides.

However, to compete for an ore vein in the East Sea, the Han Clan mobilized their troops and directly attacked with murderous intent!

Their attack caught Ye Dongke and his people completely off guard.

A great cultivator of the Heaven Ascension Stage has been dispatched. They must want to kill us to prevent us from reporting back to the clan since that will ruin their operation to occupy the ore vein. The woman next to him was slender and rather charming. She wore a purple dress that brightened her pretty face.

Her name was Ye Lingtong and she was also a member of the Ye Clan in the East Sea.

She had a very frosty look on her pretty face and her teeth were clenched in anger.

If we get out of this trouble, I am going to pay them back tenfold! Ye Dongkes face was overcast.

Will there be a chance? Ye Lingtongs lips quirked with bitterness.

A great Heaven Ascension cultivator was catching up to them with full strength.

It likely wouldnt be long before he intercepted them.

How would they have the chance to get out of trouble?

The Han Clan had no intention of letting them leave alive since they had ruthlessly dispatched a Heaven Ascension cultivator!

Ye Dongke was silent. A flash of sadness and bitterness flashed on his face. Do we have to give up?

The group of servants was already terror-stricken behind them. Their faces were deathly pale, and their bodies were shaking in panic.

We are panicking like stray dogshow ironic... Ye Dongke laughed at himself.

But no matter what, they would never give up until the last moment!

Shua! Shua! Shua!

They were all fleeing across the sapphire sea with all their strength. Their figures dazzled like rainbows as they flashed through the air. At that moment, they were only concerned about running for their lives, and they had no time to cover their tracks.

Huh?

Suddenly, to Ye Lingtongs surprise, she came across a treasure ship floating in front of her and noticed a young man in a moon-white robe sunbathing on the deck.

His leisurely appearance stirred Ye Lingtongs feelings and made her feel more bitter than ever. She thought of her situation of despair and compared it to the young mans relaxed and comfortable life. The difference between her and the young man was as great as that between heaven and hell.

This isnt good! Run! Ye Dongke, who was leading the way, narrowed his eyes. He sensed a wave of tyrannical aura gushing their way like a storm.

Everyone stiffened and their faces paled, as though they had fallen into an ice cave.

Its so fast!

Is this the terror of the upper Heaven Ascension Stage?

Haha, its just a bunch of ants. The moment I, Han Yunchong, had my eyes on you, your fate is no longer under your control! A contemptuous sneer shook the world like raging thunder.

Following the voice, a streak of light whizzed through the sky like a rainbow.

Its over!

The faces of Ye Dongke and Ye Lingtong twisted with uncontrollable despair.

Han Yunchong, a renowned Heaven Ascension cultivator in the East Sea, possessed a superb cultivation base and had killed countless enemies in the past decades. He could be regarded as a powerful being in the older generation.

The higher-ups of the Ye Clan wouldnt be afraid of Hun Yunchong, but the Ye Clan members present were all at the Spirit Sea Stage. They were as weak as ants to a great cultivator such as Han Yunchong.

It was natural that theyd lose all hope!

Han Yunchong, you are an elder, do you want to go that far and kill everyone? If my Ye Clan finds out, you wont be able to bear the consequences! Ye Dongke threatened.

Hmph, youre already at deaths door yet you still think you can threaten me. Han Yunchong snorted coldly as a sinister glint flashed in his eyes. Dont worry, as long as I kill you all today, then who in the world will know that I did it?

As he was speaking, a figure in the distance startled him. He squinted his eyes and found that it was a youngster with a mediocre aura, and he immediately dismissed him.

Ye Lingtongs expression dramatically changed as she said frantically, Friend, hurry up and leave. That old bastard is going to kill everyone to silence them. You will be affected if you stay here!

The youngster was, of course, Lin Xun.

He was enjoying a rare moment of peace, but who would have thought his mood would be ruined so quickly?

He could tell that he wasnt a target of attack and it was purely coincidental that they were there so he coldly watched on, reluctant to get involved in it.

But when he heard Ye Lingtong kindly urge him to leave, it changed his opinion. They were only strangers, but she still looked out for him. It was rare to see such kindness.

Han Yunchong couldnt help but laugh. Little girl, do you not think thats ridiculous? Do you think that kid can leave? His voice was filled with contempt.

What a bunch of ignorant juniors! Do they not know the terror of the Heaven Ascension Stage? How naive of her to think that the youngster can leave under my nose!

Han Yunchong, you just want to deal with us. This matter has nothing to do with this friend. Why do you have to be so ruthless? Ye Lingtong raged, How could you call yourself a great cultivator of the East Sea? You are so cruel and ruthless that it is despicable.

Stop talking nonsense. I dont want word to get out so it doesnt matter even if the kid is innocent. He has to die today. He can only blame his own luck! Han Yunchongs voice was cold, and his face was devoid of emotion.

Ye Lingtong was so angry that she almost crushed her teeth, but in the end, she held back, overcome by the feeling of sadness in her heart.

It was pointless to argue anymore. They couldnt change Han Yunchongs determination to kill everyone.

They pitied the innocent youngster who unluckily encountered such a disaster

Friend, Im really sorry, its our fault, Ye Lingtong muttered apologetically.

Little girl, you talk the most nonsense, so lets start with you! Hun Yunchong flicked his sleeve impatiently and sent a dazzling golden rainbow across the air.

Rumble!

The surrounding air crumbled and collapsed as the golden rainbow blazed more and more brightly. The terrifying power it contained alone made Ye Dongke and the others lose all hope.

Its so terrifying. That is the power of the Heaven Ascension Stage. Who could withstand it?

Ye Lingtong, who was the first to bear the brunt, had become deathly pale. The greatest feeling of fear flooded her heart. She had never felt so close to death before.

Am Ireally going to die?

Ye Lingtongs mind went blank and she forgot to even resist.

Who are you? How dare you kill in front of me?

An indifferent voice ringing in Ye Lingtongs ears took her aback, making her realize that she was not dead.

She did not know when a tall and handsome figure had stood in front of her.

Its the youngster!

She almost subconsciously cried out, Friend, get out of here! Do you not want to die!?

But as soon as those words came out of her mouth, she sensed a strange atmosphere. Ye Dongke and the others, as well as Han Yunchong, were all staring wide-eyed at the youngster.

He

She suddenly remembered the golden rainbow that Han Yunchong shot out. Did the youngster dissolve the rainbow?

Oh, it turns out that you have some skills, little guy. Since you can actually block my blow, you can be regarded as a fierce character among the younger generation, said Han Yunchong, frowning.

In his opinion, Lin Xun only had an ordinary aura, and there was nothing special about him. Yet it was very unusual that a youngster was able to block his attack.

He is indeed the one who saved me from the catastrophe, Ye Lingtong muttered, finding it hard to believe.

Han Yunchong was a great cultivator at the upper Heaven Ascension Stage. His blow might seem casual, but not just anyone could defend against it!

In addition to Ye Lingtong, Ye Dongke and the others faces were twisted with disbelief. Everything had happened so fast and sudden that they only saw a blur.

The reason was very simple. The difference in cultivation levels between them was too great. Their reaction speed was far inferior to those at the Heaven Ascension Stage.

However, everything stops here. No matter who you are, you are not worth mentioning in front of me! Han Yunchong remarked indifferently, his power and aura growing more and more terrifying.

A cultivator at the upper Heaven Ascension Stage could dominate an area of the Ziyao Empire and shake a province. How would they attach any importance to a junior of the younger generation?

Boom!

As he stepped forward, the air boomed and whimpered like it was collapsing. A wave of frightening divine power was spreading outwards from his body.

The wind and clouds rioted, and the sea bubbled frantically.

Die!

Han Yunchong thrust his palm forward. Dao Ripple roared in the air. His beard and hair billowed around him, and his eyes released cold flashes of lightning. Everyones faces blanched at his terrifying divine power.

The stifling oppressive power made Ye Lingtong, Ye Dongke and the others feel they had sunk into purgatory.

Ye Lingtong anxiously urged Lin Xun, Young Master, run!

However, Lin Xun just raised his head and glanced at Han Yunchong as though he didnt seem to notice.

There seemed to be a mocking glint flash across his black eyes.

At the same time, the aura as still as a hibernating dragon in Lin Xuns body erupted like molten lava.

It was as though a peerless beast from ancient times had awoken inside him. The terrifying aura instantly flooded the world as soon as it was released, causing the air to collapse inch by inch and the world to wail.

On the other hand, Han Yunchongs palm was crushed into a shower of light before it neared Lin Xun.

At the same time, there was the sound of snapping bones and Han Yunchongs outstretched right hand became mutilated as if it had been struck by lightning. His flesh, muscles and bones were badly mangled.

All that was caused by the power released from Lin Xuns aura. He hadnt truly made a move from the start.
