Chapter 2265: One Word Determines Life and Death

“Oh my god, as expected of the Grand Elder of Shenjian Villa, his swordsmanship is too amazing…”

“Yeah, if I faced that sword, not to mention blocking it, the Sword Qi alone would have shredded me…”

“How about this time? Can he kill this little demoness?”

Everyone whispered, commenting on Zhao Fangshuo’s sword.

As the Grand Elder of Shenjian Villa, his greatest skill was his swordsmanship, and with this one strike, he had unleashed his full power, holding nothing back.

The sharp sword light carried a world-destroying might, and even those not directly facing it could feel the immense Killing Intent within.

But even facing such a sword, Xiaoqing didn't put it in her eyes at all.

“Another Old thing has arrived, just in time to deal with them together.”

She reached out and grabbed; her seemingly tender little hand directly shattered the sharp Sword Intent.

Finally, a strange scene appeared: Zhao Fangshuo held his long sword in his hand, his entire body maintaining an overhead posture.

The other part of the treasured sword, however, was in Xiaoqing’s hand, unable to advance another half-inch.

The gap between the Void Tempering Realm and the Great Ascension Stage was simply too vast, even greater than the difference between an infant and an adult.

Zhao Fangshuo, who seemed incredibly powerful, was completely outmatched in front of Xiaoqing; never mind two people working together, even ten or twenty wouldn't be enough.

“This broken toy of yours, you’re still embarrassed to use it.”

Just as everyone was shocked that Xiaoqing could block this sword, she exerted force with her hand, and the treasured sword was directly crushed into pieces.

Immediately after, her small hand fiercely gripped Zhao Fangshuo’s neck, slamming him onto the ground like a sack of potatoes, and then she stomped on him.

The Disciples of Shenjian Villa and Lei Yun Sect were utterly dumbfounded. They watched as their two Grand Elders, whom they usually worshipped like gods, were pressed onto the ground and mercilessly rubbed by a little girl.

She stomped on one, then the other, then back again.

Not only them, but even Zhongli Mei, Zhang He, and others were extremely shocked. Xiaoqing was Heaven-Defying before, but she wasn’t this powerful, right?

How could she have become so strong after such a short time apart? Is this Great Ascension Middle Stage or Late Stage? Or is it various powerful Great Perfection?

Zhao Fangshuo lay on the ground in the same posture as Lei Wanjun, both helplessly protecting their vital parts.

At this moment, he finally understood the other party’s feelings. Xiaoqing’s brutal attacks were not only highly insulting but also extremely damaging.

Every stomp could shatter his protective True Qi, making him feel as if his entire body was about to be crushed.

It didn't take many stomps before he, too, was deeply embedded in the ground.

“Useless Old thing, daring to come out and show off!”

Under everyone’s shocked gaze, Xiaoqing finished her beating. She reached out, grabbed both of their ankles, pulled them out, and fiercely threw them in front of Ye Bufan.

“Ye Dage, how should we deal with these two Old things?”

“Kill them all. From today onwards, Tianluo State will no longer have Lei Yun Sect and Shenjian Villa.”

Ye Bufan was truly enraged this time. Situ Dianmo’s disappearance had already vexed him, and these ignorant fools had repeatedly provoked him, this time even directly attacking Shui Mu University.

If he didn’t show them some power, they would truly think he was a pushover.

At his command, the people of Shui Mu University moved swiftly, instantly forming a circle, surrounding the people of Shenjian Villa and Lei Yun Sect, each one filled with Killing Intent.

Zhongli Mei also drew the long sword from his back. Although he felt some reluctance to act against the people of Shenjian Villa, killing those from Lei Yun Sect was no problem.

In an instant, the situation took a sharp turn. The two Sects, which had been incredibly arrogant just moments before, were now lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Lei Qianjue closed his eyes, knowing that Lei Yun Sect was completely finished.

If they could even torment their Grand Elders to such an extent, let alone these small fry like them.

At this moment, his heart was filled with regret. If he had known this, even with ten thousand times the courage, he wouldn't have dared to provoke this Young man.

The other Disciples were also filled with despair, and just then, an urgent cry suddenly came from mid-air.

“Dr. Ye, please show mercy!”

Then, two figures, like meteors, sped from afar and landed in front of everyone. They were none other than Elder Qin Biyao of Tianshui Pavilion, with Shui Yueli following behind her.

Both looked travel-worn, clearly having rushed over from a long distance.

Ye Bufan waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop first, then said cheerfully, “Elder Qin, Water Fairy, I didn’t expect to meet again so soon. Welcome to my Shui Mu University!”

Having saved the people of Shenjian Villa and Lei Yun Sect, Qin Biyao let out a long sigh of relief.

“Dr. Ye, I heard that Shenjian Villa and Lei Yun Sect were planning to join forces against you. I rushed over immediately to stop them, but I didn’t expect to still be a step late. I am truly sorry.”

“Elder Qin, you are too polite. This has nothing to do with you.”

Ye Bufan greeted her with a smile. He had a very good impression of the people from Tianshui Pavilion, and besides, they had spoken up for him in the Daxing Empire before.

Qin Biyao said, “Dr. Ye, do you think you could spare Shenjian Villa and Lei Yun Sect for my Face?”

Seeing her directly plead for the two families, Ye Bufan frowned.

Killing these people didn’t really matter, but he hated trouble. If he let them go, there might be endless future problems.

“Elder Qin, by rights, since you’ve asked, I should give you this Face.

But these people, while I was away, ambushed Shui Mu University and tried to kill me completely. How can I let such people go?”

Qin Biyao also didn't expect these two families to have gone so far, showing a hint of embarrassment.

But she still said, “Dr. Ye, I know my request is a bit excessive, but for the sake of Tianluo State, please spare these two families this one time.”

Shui Yueli also followed up, saying, “Yes, Dr. Ye, our Tianluo State was originally the weakest on Kunlun Continent, with only three eight-star Sects.

If you destroy two at once, it will definitely suffer a great loss of Origin Qi, and it might never be able to rise again.”

“This…”

Ye Bufan thought for a moment. There were a total of three eight-star Sects, and destroying two at once did seem a bit excessive.

But if he just let these people go, what if they came to trouble Shui Mu University again once he left?

The people of Shenjian Villa and Lei Yun Sect nervously looked over, never having imagined that one day their fate would be in the hands of a Young man.

Zhao Fangshuo, cunning and experienced, immediately guessed his concerns and quickly shouted, “Dr. Ye, this time it was Shenjian Villa’s fault!

As long as you show mercy, I swear to heaven that I will never be your enemy again, and I will never touch a single blade of grass or tree at Shui Mu University.”

Lei Qianjue also followed, shouting, “That’s right, my Lei Yun Sect is also willing to bow our heads and admit our mistake, swearing to heaven that we will never offend again.”

Although begging for mercy was somewhat humiliating, seeing that they were about to be annihilated, the two of them could no longer care about so much.

On Kunlun Continent, strength was respected above all else; Face was never as important as power.

Those Disciples of lower status, though silent, also looked on eagerly, like prisoners awaiting their sentence.

They were very clear that a single word from the Young man before them could now determine their life or death.
