Chapter 677: Chapter 671: Yellow Dragon Gang
“Big Brother!”
The remaining Half-Saint Leader was startled, and in the mont of his distraction, a cold, gleaming sword had already been placed at his throat.
With a slight move, this sword could easily slice through his throat.
“You!”
The remaining Half-Saint Leader was terrified, never expecting to be subdued by Ye Xuan so easily. Ye Xuan had moved too fast; so fast that before they could even set up their formation, the battle had already ended.
Tang Xinlian, upon seeing the instant determination of victory and defeat, couldn’t help but open her lips slightly in shock. Her beautiful eyes turned towards the tall figure suspended in midair. Ye Xuan was this formidable?
The dust gradually settled in the stone hall, yet the many gazes inside were full of astonishnt at the spectacle: the one-eyed middle-aged man spitting blood in a sorry state, and another with a sword at his threat. Clearly, this scene had taken them by surprise.
“How can this be…”
They muttered with dry mouths, their faces lacking the previous arrogance, and in their eyes looking up at Ye Xuan in the void, there was a hint of fear.
“Kid, do you dare to oppose the Yellow Dragon Gang? If you dare to move , you’re dead for sure—our boss is a Saint!”
Threatened at the throat by Ye Xuan’s sword, the Half-Saint Leader roared with a fierce defiance.
“Yellow Dragon Gang?”
Ye Xuan seed to show a trace of contemplation, then shook his head, “I really haven’t heard of this power before. I’ll kill you now and see if your boss will co to seek revenge on .”
Having said that, Ye Xuan suddenly increased the pressure, and the sword edge left a trail of blood on the Half-Saint Leader’s neck.
“Stop, stop, stop,”
The Half-Saint Leader was terrified, and an unmistakable color of fear surged in his eyes. How could this kid be so audacious, completely disregarding his threat? He had no doubts that if he hadn’t called out to stop Ye Xuan just now, his throat would already have been pierced by the sword.
“Consider yourself tough, I’ll admit defeat today. Let go, and let’s end today’s matter here.”
Despite his extre reluctance, the Half-Saint Leader still had to submit to Ye Xuan. They were the kind who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Plus, a wise man does not eat the loss before his eyes—if he didn’t back down, he would be the one dead now.
“Second-in-command, this…”
Suddenly, soone was not convinced. Ye Xuan alone had wiped them out; if word got out, where would the Yellow Dragon Gang’s face be?
“This is an order, dammit!”
The Half-Saint Leader was clearly exasperated, giving the man a fierce look. How could he not agree to these terms? This fool was too blind to see the situation—did he want to get him killed?
“Today, I don’t wish to kill. Let’s leave it at that. But if you dare to play any tricks, don’t bla for being rciless.”
Ye Xuan had just slain Liu Qing and Song Ling. If he made another deadly enemy out of the Yellow Dragon Gang, it would be too many adversaries and over sothing as trivial as Tang Xinlian, it just wasn’t worth it.
“We wouldn’t dare.”
The one-eyed middle-aged man also shook his head. They hadn’t expected to run afoul of soone as tough as Ye Xuan; not creating troubles for them was already sothing to be grateful for, let alone playing any tricks.
These people were crafty schers who had survived in the Demon Ruins for so long. Naturally, they weren’t the foolish kind that seek revenge for every small provocation. Their goal was also the treasures within the Demon Ruins, hence they didn’t plan to clash too much with Ye Xuan.
“Let’s go!”
Ye Xuan removed the Rain Saint Sword for but a mont, and the Half-Saint Leader quickly withdrew, taking a deep breath before ordering his subordinates to retreat.
If there was a chance, he would surely take this field back. Of course, with their abilities alone, they couldn’t reclaim it.
“Thank you, Ye Xuan.”
After the mbers of the Yellow Dragon Gang had left, Tang Xinlian also looked at Ye Xuan with much gratitude. She hadn’t expected him to lend a hand, and if it hadn’t been for Ye Xuan this ti, she might have faced significant trouble.
“No need, it was just a small effort. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way.”
Indeed, Ye Xuan had acted rely because it was convenient, and even before intervening, he had hesitated. After weighing his options, though, he still chose to help.
“Hold on,” Tang Xinlian quickly stepped in front of Ye Xuan as he was about to leave, “I owe you one for this. Once we’re back in Heavenly Martial Holy Land, I will definitely repay you.”
Ye Xuan halted, gaining a bit of new respect for Tang Xinlian. She wasn’t as unbearable as he had imagined, not the arrogant and domineering type typical of a saintly family’s descendant.
“There’s no need.”
He waved his hand again, feeling there was no necessity; he didn’t need her favors.
“I don’t like owing people favors. If you don’t want to accept that, then take this Carefree Feather,” Tang Xinlian insisted stubbornly.
“You’re quite persistent, I see.”
Ye Xuan sighed with a bit of resignation. After a brief thought, he said, “Alright, when we get back to the holy land, you can give so Contribution Value as repaynt.”
“Contribution Value?”
Tang Xinlian was montarily stunned, her pretty face filled with surprise. She quickly nodded, however. Being a new disciple, she didn’t have many Contribution Values to her na, nowhere near the worth of a Carefree Feather. Ye Xuan was doing this to avoid taking advantage of her and to allow her peace of mind.
He was a true gentleman, at least in her eyes.
By repaying evil with good, not exploiting soone’s precarious position, and helping others in their ti of need, Tang Xinlian’s opinion of Ye Xuan had completely changed. Although she had lost to Ye Xuan before, she still believed that he ca from a low background, and strength alone couldn’t alter the nature of soone uncouth.
Now, her perspective had entirely shifted.
“I need to find Senior Sister Zuo and the others, so I’ll take my leave.”
Ye Xuan didn’t care how Tang Xinlian saw him; he never considered himself a gentleman. A gentleman’s actions can be restrictive, but when it ca ti for him to kill, he wouldn’t consider so many things.
“Brother Ye Xuan,”
Just as Ye Xuan was about to leave, Tang Xinlian’s title for him made him pause, and then her voice ca from behind, “May I co with you?”
“What about your companions?”
Ye Xuan looked surprised. This proud woman wanted to follow him?
“Those people might be descendants of saintly families, but they are all cunning and only think about using each other. I’d rather be alone than with them. Brother Ye Xuan, please let follow you.” Tang Xinlian’s beautiful eyes stared at Ye Xuan, revealing a pitiful expression. With her already stunning looks, this expression certainly had the power to evoke sympathy from most n.
“If you can keep up, then you’re free to do so.”
But Ye Xuan rely glanced at her and then leapt up, moving swiftly without delay, heading out of the grand hall.
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, which weren’t an outright refusal, Tang Xinlian’s eyes lit up. At the mont Ye Xuan dashed away, she quickly followed. It wouldn’t be so easy for Ye Xuan to shake her off.
