"Not bad, you’ve managed to notice ."
A towering crimson demon form strode in from outside the grand hall, exuding a scorching aura, undoubtedly the Fla Demon Commander.
"Are you a dog? You follow quite quickly."
Ye Xuan glanced at the Fla Demon Commander and spoke calmly.
"Heh, kid, while you still have the chance to talk, be as sharp-tongued as you like. I’m afraid you won’t have the chance later."
The Fla Demon Commander grinned.
"Alright, I was just thinking of trying out my treasured sword."
Ye Xuan smiled back.
However, seeing this, Kong Ruxuang felt puzzled. She couldn’t understand where Ye Xuan got such confidence from; his opponent was a Six-star Commander.
"Just two little mice. Do you think you can make much of a wave?"
The Fla Demon Commander sneered, "Weapons of this caliber aren’t for soone of your strength to possess. Your sword and your armor will both belong to ."
A gleam of greed flickered in his eyes. An Upper Grade Sacred Sword, Middle Grade Holy Artifact armor—these were extrely rare treasures, even he, as a Six-star Commander, did not possess such equipnt.
"I don’t have ti to accompany you right now."
This Qi Ye Ancient Mansion hadn’t been explored halfway yet; Ye Xuan had no intention of tangling with the Fla Demon Commander here. Not to ntion there was no benefit, just a waste of ti—it wasn’t easy to take down a Six-star Commander.
"That’s not up to you!"
The Fla Demon Commander clearly didn’t plan to let Ye Xuan off; allowing him to escape before had already driven him nearly mad—if Ye Xuan escaped again, he could no longer carry on as a Six-star Commander, unable to even catch a small fish.
With these words, he aggressively attacked, his hand reaching out as a fiery cage rapidly ford around Ye Xuan and Kong Ruxuang.
"This trick can’t hold anyone."
Ye Xuan picked up the Thunder Abyss Sword and swung a powerful blow, instantly cutting the fiery cage in half.
"Thunder Prison!"
Switching from defense to offense, Ye Xuan used the Thunder Abyss Sword to create a barrier of lightning, trapping the Fla Demon Commander within.
"A little trick."
The Fla Demon Commander dismissed it, his eyes full of mockery.
"Add this, and it’s no longer a small trick."
Light danced in Kong Ruxuang’s beautiful eyes.
Crack, crack!
On the Thunder Prison, an ice layer suddenly spread out, fusing with the lightning barrier, tightly binding and quickly solidifying.
"Boom!"
The Fla Demon Commander punched the icy wall on the lightning barrier, yet his fierce strike didn’t shatter the wall.
"What?"
An incredulous look flashed in his eyes as the Fla Demon Commander couldn’t believe his punch had no effect.
"Go!"
With the Fla Demon Commander trapped, Ye Xuan imdiately turned to leave, with Kong Ruxuang following suit, as the lightning-ice barrier wouldn’t hold for long under the Fla Demon Commander’s assault, only briefly confining him.
"Damn, where are you running off to!"
The Fla Demon Commander widened his eyes, as if about to spew fire. With a loud bang, the lightning-ice barrier exploded.
"So you’ve co out?"
Ye Xuan suddenly halted, sensing the scorching wave behind them. At this point, even if they wanted to escape, it would be difficult; they had to deal with the threat behind them first.
Instead of moving forward, Ye Xuan abruptly spun around, gripping his sword tightly as he swung it, with lightning flashing violently and savage thunder like blades slashing out.
The Fla Demon Commander wasn’t foolish, seeing the lightning flash coming, he raised his right hand, instantly forming a Molten Light Shield before him.
Almost simultaneously, Kong Ruxuang moved, a touch of blue brilliance flickering across her forehead, instantly freezing Ye Xuan’s Sword Qi, transforming it into a blue blade, parallel to the lightning.
In an instant, the might of the Sword Qi doubled.
Boom!
The Sword Qi slamd into the Molten Rock Shield, producing a deafening shockwave—crack—the shield shattered, and the Sword Qi, embodying both the attributes of thunder and ice, struck the Fla Demon Commander, forcing him to fly backwards, crashing through a wall.
Seeing this opportunity, Ye Xuan and Kong Ruxuang darted away, disappearing into the depths of the great hall.
Bang!
Rubble exploded, leaving the Fla Demon Commander’s face full of fury. Seeing Ye Xuan and Kong Ruxuang had vanished, his expression grew darker.
"Those wretches, I swear I’ll grind you into dust!"
Having been deceived by them, the Fla Demon Commander was enraged, repeatedly allowing Ye Xuan to slip from his grasp was a heinous humiliation.
Elsewhere, Ye Xuan and Kong Ruxuang were now far from the fifth hall, before them stood a towering staircase, leading into the unknown, but at its end, it seed to be shrouded in radiant glows and gathering ethereal clouds, almost like a legendary abode.
"The end of the staircase is the core area of this ancient mansion."
Kong Ruxuang’s charming face grew solemn; the treasures within Qi Ye Ancient Mansion were astonishing. Having experienced the Artifact Refining Hall, if this was indeed the final destination, then one could only imagine the mind-boggling treasures within.
"Let’s go up."
Ye Xuan and Kong Ruxuang exchanged a glance, then both stepped onto the staircase. However, in that instant, they suddenly felt a heavy force weighing down their shoulders, amounting to several hundred thousand jins, like two great mountains.
"Sure enough, it’s not that simple."
Ye Xuan’s body was pressed down, clearly uncomfortable; as anticipated, the staircase indeed had a Prohibition set upon it.
Kong Ruxuang beside him also found it difficult, bearing an added weight of hundreds of thousands of jins, plus the powerful gravity of the Ancient World, even a Saint would struggle, let alone climbing such a towering staircase.
This climbing speed was dreadfully slow, but Ye Xuan and Kong Ruxuang had their own counterasures; they used their respective techniques—Ye Xuan condensed a soul power barrier, while Kong Ruxuang constructed an icy shield, both capable of offsetting so of the burden.
It took them more than two hours to reach the top of the staircase.
In their view, the clouds parted, revealing an ancient hall beneath, imposing and magnificent. Before the hall was a vast square, dotted with nurous figures.
"Elder Jin?"
Among these people, Ye Xuan quickly recognized Elder Jin and the cold swordsman, all present.
But on the other side of the square, was the Demon Clan’s team, forming a standoff with the others.
"You’ve arrived just in ti."
Elder Jin’s face lit up with joy as he beckoned to Ye Xuan and Kong Ruxuang, "With your added strength, we might be able to break the hall’s Prohibition."
"Joining forces with them?"
Ye Xuan glanced at the position of several Demon Clan experts; it seed both sides had temporarily allied to break the Prohibition.
"We’ll discuss after breaking the Prohibition."
Elder Jin nodded. Without pooling everyone’s strength, they couldn’t even access the hall gates. For the sake of the treasures, camp rivalries had to be temporarily set aside.
