Chapter 157: Chapter 156: Blood Saber Ancestor
Shangguan Ancestor said disdainfully, "I thought you had an enterprising spirit, but it turns out you’re just another lazy person content to get by!"
"Grandfather!" Shangguan Qiuyue hurriedly stepped forward to intervene. Otherwise, given Ye Fan’s explosive temper, the two were bound to start fighting.
Ye Fan, however, ignored him, feeling that sothing about the situation was not right. "Why aren’t we setting out now?" he asked.
"Because we are waiting for our allies. Do you really think we could annihilate the Sky Sword Sect on our own?" Shangguan Ancestor said with contempt.
Ye Fan replied, "Not *we*. **!"
"Arrogant!" The two began to argue, leaving Shangguan Qiuyue feeling helpless, as she could control neither her grandfather nor Ye Fan.
At this point, Ye Fan stated, "I feel like this is a set-up. We’ve waited for so long, and your so-called allies haven’t shown up. Don’t you think there’s sothing fishy about that?"
"Hmph! What’s the rush? They will be here soon enough," Shangguan Ancestor retorted. He was visibly annoyed with Ye Fan. The ancestor enjoyed being respected, but Ye Fan had not shown him any from the very beginning, which infuriated him.
However, after more than ten minutes, Ye Fan slled blood in the air. Such a strong scent of blood. There must have been a slaughter nearby recently.
He was sure they had walked into an ambush, but he had no intention of warning the others. As the King of Heaven, he wouldn’t fear a re ambush or trap.
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before there was a stir in the mountains. "On guard!" Shangguan Ancestor bellowed.
Just then, nurous shadows darted out from the mountains, surrounding their group in the darkness. The Shangguan Family’s Martial Artists panicked. The enemy’s formation was too imposing; there were only about forty of them, whereas the enemy numbered a full two hundred. Moreover, their combat strength was clearly formidable. The Shangguan Family mbers were no match.
"It’s an ambush!" Shangguan Ancestor said coldly. "Don’t panic! I refuse to believe the Sky Sword Sect can do anything to !"
The mbers of the Shangguan Family remained vigilant, wary of a sudden attack from the figures surrounding them.
"Shangguan Jinhong! You dare to storm the main base of my Sky Sword Sect? Are you tired of living?" As the atmosphere grew tense, a voice rang out, and three figures appeared.
The two n flanking the central figure were elders, seemingly of an advanced age comparable to Shangguan Jinhong—both had white hair. The man in the middle, however, was exceptionally strong. In Ye Fan’s view, his power was several degrees higher than Black Fog’s, though in a true battle, it was still uncertain who would live and who would die.
"Blood Saber Ancestor!" Shangguan Jinhong’s eyes filled with gravity. The two elders alone were more than he could handle; if they joined forces, he would surely be defeated. And now there was the even stronger Sect Leader of the Sky Sword Sect, the Blood Saber Ancestor himself! This battle was truly fraught with peril.
"How unfortunate for you. Your so-called allies were intercepted and slaughtered by us on their way here," the Blood Saber Ancestor jeered. "But don’t you worry, your turn is coming soon."
"There’s a traitor among us!" Shangguan Jinhong bellowed instantly.
At once, the entire group, including Shangguan Jinhong, turned their angry gazes on Ye Fan. In their eyes, he was the pri suspect.
But Ye Fan replied coldly, "No need to suspect . If I wanted to take care of you, I wouldn’t need anyone’s help!"
"Hmph! You’re the traitor!" Shangguan Jinhong insisted.
But at this mont, Shangguan Qiuyue said, "Grandfather, he’s not the traitor. If he were, he wouldn’t have killed the four protectors of the Sky Sword Sect!"
Upon hearing that the four protectors had been killed by Ye Fan, the Blood Saber Ancestor and every disciple of the Sky Sword Sect glared at him with fury. Ye Fan was exasperated; he knew Shangguan Qiuyue had done that on purpose.
So he declared, "That’s right. I had no intention of bothering with ants like you, but you ants just had to provoke ! Today will be the day your Sky Sword Sect is annihilated!"
"Such bold words, boy!" the Blood Saber Ancestor said angrily. He turned to the two elders. "Kill this brat!"
The two elders nodded and charged toward Ye Fan.
"Old fool, let
deal with you!" The Blood Saber Ancestor shot toward Shangguan Jinhong. In his eyes, Shangguan Jinhong was the strongest person on the other side, but he was no match for him. As long as he killed Shangguan Jinhong, the matter would be settled. Shangguan Jinhong could only brace himself for the assault.
"Attack!" Shangguan Qiuyue commanded the forty-odd n to charge. In an instant, the area beca a chaotic battlefield. Shangguan Qiuyue used the confusion to slip away and observe from the shadows.
At that mont, the two elders attacked Ye Fan. Both were Innate Experts, and while neither was exceptionally powerful, their combined strength was enough to be a headache.
"Azure Dragon Form!" Ye Fan struck imdiately, unleashing the most powerful technique of the form: the Dragon Claw Hand. He repelled the two n. They were strong, but they were facing the King of Heaven—the most formidable of n.
The two elders quickly defended against Ye Fan’s offensive. But just then, Ye Fan launched his most ferocious assault yet. Lightly stepping on a single falling leaf, he dashed toward one of the elders. The elder had just begun to make his move when Ye Fan’s blow landed, sending him flying backward to crash against a large tree, snapping it in two.
The other elder tried to attack from behind, but alas, Ye Fan’s kick connected. With an ominous crackle, the elder’s bones nearly shattered.
The two elders lay bleeding, staring at Ye Fan with wary apprehension. Not even ten moves had passed since the fight began, yet they were already defeated and severely injured.
Hidden in the darkness, Shangguan Qiuyue was stunned. She knew Ye Fan was strong, but she never imagined he was *this* strong.
"This boy’s strength is on par with the Sect Leader’s!" one of the elders said. "If we keep attacking blindly, he’ll surely pick us apart! We can only attack from the front and flank simultaneously!"
"Alright!" After conferring, the less injured elder charged at Ye Fan again.
"Hardly a threat," Ye Fan scoffed. At that mont, however, the elder suddenly threw a handful of black powder at him. It was a potent poison, but Ye Fan skillfully dodged it.
The other elder seized the opportunity, thrusting his sword forward. But when the tip reached Ye Fan’s heart, it could not advance another inch.
"Vajra-Indestructible...!" The elder stared at Ye Fan, a deep terror welling up inside him. The so-called Vajra-Indestructible Body was the hallmark of one who had entered the King realm. Could it be that Ye Fan was a King?
"You realize it too late," Ye Fan said. He reached out, grabbed Elder Zhang’s longsword, and with a light twist, snapped it. In that sa instant the sword broke, the elder’s head tumbled to the ground, his body still frozen in terror. Ye Fan had decapitated him with the very sa motion. Such power was truly terrifying to behold.
Now only one elder remained. When he saw his old comrade of many years beheaded by Ye Fan, he didn’t feel anger. His rage had been completely replaced by absolute fear. He watched Ye Fan with dread, lacking even the courage to attack.
