1353 Ye Zui!
Under the cover of the night, Chu Yang sped ahead.
His destination — The territory of the Ye Clan!
The area where Purple Crystals were found in great density and the place where fortune was the greatest; the ti where Yin and Yang would co as one and the mont where heaven and earth would shine at the sa ti!
The purpose of Chu Yang’s journey this ti was the sixth fragnt of the Nine Tribulations Sword!
He already couldn’t wait to obtain the sixth fragnt of the Nine Tribulations Sword so that his brothers could co up!
At so unknown mont, the leather boots on his feet had already been discarded sowhere. He sprinted barefooted just like that across the vast lands.
Stars twinkled in the night sky as he ran in the open field. All of a sudden, Chu Yang felt as if he had entered an intriguing state, rising into the air suddenly and flying...
As though he himself was in mid-air and soaring freely under the starlight while he could clearly see the other him still sprinting madly in the open field in front. The night breeze blew the hair of his ‘other self’ into a ss and made ‘his’ clothes flap and flutter behind him...
As he ran, the internal energy within him started to slowly circulate. He felt wave after wave of pure earth energy gushing into him from his soles while wave after wave of pure spiritual energy poured into him from the top of his head...
One ca from the top while the other from the bottom, forming a perfect cycle. After going one round through his body, they flowed into the Dantian.
Within his Dantian, that second strand of Primordial Real Silk also seed to be trembling... and slowly thickening.
As earth energy flowed into his body without pause, the cultivation within his body was also being refined...
He felt the pores all over his body expand, wisp after wisp of internal energy mixed with impurities slowly being released from his pores. The void created was then replaced by pure energy of the universe...
Myriad amounts of impurities in his body were released through his pores, disappearing into the wind...
Only sebum stuck to the surface of his skin, instantly dried by the wind...
‘Watching’ himself run and ‘watching’ his own body undergo changes was a very fascinating phenonon...
Just like that, Chu Yang ran for an entire night, as if he didn’t know what fatigue was!
When the horizon in the east turned faintly bright, his consciousness, under the guidance of a wave of fatigue, finally reentered his body. Only then did Chu Yang co to a stop in a forest and leap onto the branches of a tree to take a short rest.
Ten percent of the cultivation in his body had turned into pure energy of the universe.
This ten percent settled in the middle of his Dantian, surrounding the Nine Tribulations Sword. The rest of the ‘spiritual energy of the universe’, however, stayed on the outside and flooded his entire body.
“By the ti all of these spiritual energy of the universe is converted into pure strength ford by the energy of the universe, I would likely be able to reach fourth or fifth-grade Supre Martial Artist?”
Chu Yang thought to himself as he checked the changes within his body.
After breaking through to Supre Martial Artist, Chu Yang had felt strong resistance in every step he advanced. For example, if only one step was needed in order to advance from ninth-grade Martial Saint to Supre Martial Artist level, then breaking through from first to second-grade Supre Martial Artist needed at least ten steps.
And each of these ten steps was t with more resistance than the one before!
It was easy to imagine just how much resistance there would be when advancing from second to third-grade!
“No matter how much resistance there may be, I am on the way there!” Chu Yang thought to himself while regulating his breathing.
He wasn’t able to see what he looked like at the mont; if he could, he would definitely receive a huge shock.
His hair was a terrible matted ss that stuck to his scalp. Black sebum covered his face and neck, such that one couldn’t tell how he looked like at all. His black robes were also torn and tattled...
...
Outside the forest, shouts and cries rang out and sword light flashed.
Chu Yang woke up with a start and looked toward the outside.
He saw soone sprinting as swift as the wind toward him. Behind him, a ray of gleaming sword light, as though a teor shooting across the sky, ca chasing after him.
It was obviously much faster than the person in front.
Just a glance at this ray of sword light caused a violent jolt to run through Chu Yang’s heart!
A Sword Supremacy!
And one who was of a high grade — At least third-grade!
Why was there suddenly a Sword Supremacy here? Who was he?
This wave of sharp and piercing sword aura made Chu Yang almost think that it was Gu Duxing who had co!
The person in front let out a loud bellow, bursts of starlight suddenly erupting from within his body. His speed suddenly increased and he charged into the forest just like a hurricane!
The starlight dissipated suddenly and loud snapping sounds resounded as countless branches and tree trunks were broken. That person had already co near the tree where Chu Yang was hiding. That wave of montum continued hurtling forward, but he himself vanished soundlessly instead, as though a pin dropping into the ocean.
Even with Chu Yang’s eyesight, he was only able to tell that he had vanished the mont he leaned toward one of the tree trunks.
What technique was that? Could it be that this was a technique unique to the Three Star Divine Clan?
Even though he had only caught a quick glimpse, Chu Yang had already recognized that this person was the Three Star Divine Clan elder whom he had given an incomplete version of the Nine Tribulations Pill to when he was in the prison of the Zhuge Clan!
He didn’t expect him to have actually escaped at so point in ti, most likely due to the power of his Nine Tribulations Pill. However, the Zhuge Clan was certainly very forbearing, considering that such a piece of news hadn’t actually been leaked...
Just as he was lost in thought, that burst of sword light ca following after closely too and rampaged through the dense forest!
A ray of light, as though a moving dragon, continued the pursuit ahead. Explosions rang out along the way as all the trees were crushed.
In just a re mont, the sword light suddenly spun around and returned to the outer periters of the forest. Then, it ca in once more before coming to a sudden stop!
It stopped at a spot not far from the tree that Chu Yang was hiding in, right where that Divine Clan elder had vanished.
The sword light then dissipated, revealing a black-robed man’s tall figure.
Chu Yang felt a sudden wave of admiration in his heart.
The Divine Clan elder had co in and readily set up the deceptive array and went into hiding. But the mont this man got here, he actually instantly discovered the other party’s sche and retreated imdiately. When he reentered the area, he had obviously used approximately the sa amount of power as that Divine Clan elder and automatically ca to a stop at the place where he had vanished.
Which was to say that he had determined that the Divine Clan elder who had disappeared was within these periters!
Both his judgnt and observation skills were extrely astonishing!
This man stood tall and straight. Dressed in black robes, his features were handso yet naturally accompanied by a sense of piercing coldness. Just standing there alone and it was as if he was a sharp blade that had been drawn from its sheath, imposing and domineering.
In his hand was a sword which glead coldly in the light. Right now, cold light glead faintly while blood dripped slowly from the tip of the sword...
He stood there just like that. Then, his eyes shot toward that tree trunk which the Divine Clan elder had leaned against!
A numb sensation ca over Chu Yang’s scalp as he watched.
The degree of ticulous care in this man’s thoughts and the extent of his agility were practically unimaginable.
The next mont...
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Five to six people rushed in like a violent gust of wind. “Ye Zui! You...”
The eyes of the black-robed man were fierce and forceful. As he bent over and spun, sword light suddenly flared in mid-air. Even Chu Yang was blinded by the intense light and rendered almost unable to see anything in this instant.
As a few cries resounded in the air, those five to six people who ca in later had already been turned into minced at all over the place. They flew through the air and fell to the ground, blood and flesh landing on the bushes in the forest with loud splatters.
When Chu Yang looked over, he was in ti only to see a starlight symbol on the forehead of one of them. The next mont, this person had already beco minced at.
The black-robed man’s speed and ruthlessness were practically the most extre which Chu Yang had ever witnessed in his entire life!
The murderous intent within the sword slash made Chu Yang’s blood turn sowhat cold. Cold sweat involuntarily ford in his palm.
Within his Dantian, the Nine Tribulations Sword suddenly beca restless.
The sword slash had actually stirred up the Nine Tribulations Sword? Shocked, Chu Yang hurriedly placated the sword.
“There’s a peculiar sll to this sword slash,” remarked the Sword Spirit suddenly. In his subconsciousness, the Sword Spirit had already been awake for quite so ti, just that he was still rather weak.
“A peculiar sll?” asked a frowning Chu Yang.
Just a mont earlier, that sword slash that seed as though it was going to wipe out every living thing in this world also gave him a strange feeling, just that it was a kind of feeling that couldn’t be put into words.
As if a sinister feeling yet not, and as if a terrifying feeling yet not. No matter what, it just gave people a kind of unsettling feeling.
The Sword Spirit’s voice was rather solemn. “Perhaps I saw wrongly and I do hope that’s the case... but within this sword slash, I actually detected the sll of a ‘demon’!”
“The sll of a ‘demon’?” Chu Yang’s brows furrowed. “The Extraterrestrial Demons?”
The Sword Spirit didn’t make another sound.
When he thought of that shout earlier, Chu Yang started to ponder. “Ye Zui? So this person is the mysterious Eldest Young Master and number one successor to the Ye Clan, the top clan in the martial world right now — Ye Zui!”
There were several myths in the martial world about Ye Zui. It was said that the original na of this particular Eldest Young Master of the Ye Clan was ‘Ye Shitian’, but due to so unknown reason later on, after he got terribly drunk one day, he suddenly changed his own na to Ye Zui[1]!
In addition, those who dared to use his original na ‘Ye Shitian’ were all executed under the sin of extre disrespect!
Ye Zui slowly restrained the murderous intent which perated his entire being. He stated dispassionately, “Third Elder, there’s no way you can escape, so you might as well show yourself! I, Ye Zui, guarantee that you’ll be fine!”
There was only silence in the surroundings.
Ye Zui was neither fazed nor frazzled. He continued calmly. “I, Ye Zui, have been in the martial world for 35 years. There has never been anyone who survived under my pursuit! And neither have I ever lost sight of any enemy whom I was pursuing... You cannot hide from , nor will you be able to escape. Rather than running for your life, why not go back with obediently instead? That way, you can still be treated with so civility... Must you force yourself into a state where you can neither seek life nor death?”
Chu Yang’s heart twitched for a mont there.
So this bastard has already been around in the martial world for 35 years... Which ans that he’s at least fifty to sixty years old this year?
But his looks were still those of a young man...
He was already fifty to sixty years old, yet he was still being addressed as Eldest Young Master... Chu Yang suddenly felt the part within his trousers cramp up sowhat — Most regular people would already have been a grandfather by now?
Here, he was still a... young master!
“Are you not coming out?” Ye Zui’s voice gradually beca tainted with murderous intent. He took a couple of steps slowly and gradually raised his head. “Do you think that I won’t be able to find you just because you’ve hidden yourself in the trees this ti?”
The next mont, Ye Zui’s eyes, as though two cold and piercing arrows, t those of Chu Yang’s, who was startled and incredulous!
Chu Yang felt like fainting.
I... Why am I so unlucky?
He was actually being mistaken for soone else when all he did was find a random tree to take a break on?
The two of them, one on top of the tree and one below, stared at each other.
Ye Zui smiled at him. “Third Elder, your disguise this ti round is really quite sothing!”
Chu Yang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He cursed furiously in his heart, “You’re the Third Elder! Your entire family is the Third Elder!”
I, I... I’m so freaking unlucky...
[1] ‘Zui’ is the character for ‘drunk’
