105: Chapter 105 Cultivator Provocation

Outside the valley, the sky was clear and the air was crisp, but Ye Jing and the others nearly collapsed to the ground.

Ye Tianyao's limbs were soft: "Grandpa, that zombie is so terrifying!"

Ye Jing regained his strength and panted, "Are you all alright?"

The two grandchildren shook their heads; they weren't actually injured, they were just oppressed and made uncomfortable by the Corpse Person's powerful strength.

“That Corpse Person has quite a background; I'm afraid it will take some effort to completely take it down,” Ye Jing said with a bitter smile.

He thought it would be over after dealing with those few Yao Beasts in the valley, but he hadn't expected such a terrifying thing to exist in the stone building inside.

What exactly did this Chen family encounter back then!

Ye Jing sent news of the Blood Soul Vein-Extinguishing Array to Ye Xuan and Ye Yi. Since they could find records of this Spiritual Vein in the imperial palace, they might also be able to find information about the Blood Soul Vein-Extinguishing Array.

What he wanted was to destroy this Formation and restore the Spiritual Vein; otherwise, even if he killed all the monsters inside, he wouldn't be able to take this Spiritual Vein for himself.

Ye Jing used Ye Tianyao's Spirit Sparrow to send a message to his two sons.

At this time, Ye Xuan and Ye Yi were on the battlefield. They were already Colonels personally appointed by the Emperor, and because they were Immortals, they were highly respected by the Emperor.

On the battlefield, they could be described as invincible.

It was three days later when Ye Xuan received Ye Jing's letter. He saw it written that Ye Jing had already found the Spiritual Vein but was still trapped by an evil Formation.

Ye Xuan was also extremely worried, and he immediately called Ye Yi over.

“Big brother, what is so urgent?” Ye Yi lifted the curtain and entered, his armor still stained with residual blood.

Having just finished a small-scale raid, a hint of sharpness still lingered between his brows.

Ye Xuan handed over the message slip, his voice carrying an irrepressible gravity: “Father has sent a letter. He has found the location of the Spiritual Vein, but discovered an evil Formation called the Blood Soul Vein-Extinguishing Array inside, as well as a Corpse Person that might be close to the Foundation Establishment stage.”

“What?!”

Ye Yi’s pupils constricted. He grabbed the message slip and, after reading it word by word, his eyes were full of worry: “Father, are they okay?!”

He had just come off the battlefield, and his murderous aura had not yet dissipated. Hearing that Ye Jing might be threatened, the aura around him became frighteningly cold.

Ye Xuan said in a deep voice: “Father said in the letter that if this Formation is not removed, he cannot claim the Spiritual Vein even if the Corpse Person is killed. He can still stabilize the situation, but he needs us to find a way to break this Formation.”

Seeing this, how could the two brothers not help? They immediately agreed to secretly search for information regarding this Formation.

Just as they were discussing, a soldier suddenly came to report: “My Lord! That Mad Blade Immortal Master has come to challenge us!”

Hearing this report, Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and stood up: “How many people are in the enemy army?”

Because the Yan State soldiers had the assistance of two Immortals, Ye Xuan and Ye Yi, the Mad Blade Immortal Master had fallen into a bitter struggle. Unable to take the Yan State cities for a time, he was forced to flee toward the Jin State.

He had always fled when he couldn't win, only to return later to harass them, which was incredibly annoying.

Now that he was openly challenging them to a battle again, Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel irritable.

The soldier said respectfully: “Reporting to my Lord, it is only Mad Blade Immortal Master alone.”

“Alone?” Ye Yi was somewhat surprised. “Is the information confirmed?”

One must know that there were three Cultivators at or above Qi Refining Level 5 in their camp. Even for Mad Blade, a Qi Refining Level 8 Cultivator, dealing with them would be extremely difficult. Why would he suddenly come here alone?

Ye Xuan and Ye Yi both found it strange, and they immediately put on their battle armor and went out.

The blood on the battlefield had not yet dried. Mad Blade Immortal Master was flying in mid-air on a gourd, looking down at the impatient Ye Xuan and the others.

Chen Mingyuan and Yun Yue also had traces of fatigue on their faces; they had been tormented quite a bit by this Mad Blade Immortal Master.

Mad Blade Immortal Master laughed loudly: “You few brats, relying on some meager Immortal arts, dare to block the path of my great army! Today I have come alone to take the heads off you pieces of trash!”

Chen Mingyuan was instantly enraged upon hearing this. He brandished his sword and attacked: “Mad Blade! You are truly arrogant! Since you've come this time, I won't let you escape alive!”

He immediately swung the green sword in his hand, stabbing directly at Mad Blade Immortal Master's face.

Yun Yue was not idle either. Her fingers pinched a hand seal, and several white talismans suddenly took shape, shooting toward Mad Blade Immortal Master's vital points with the sound of breaking air.

One attacked from close range and the other from afar, instantly cutting off most of Mad Blade Immortal Master's retreat.

The wild laughter on Mad Blade Immortal Master's face did not diminish. The gourd beneath his feet swayed slightly, and his figure shifted horizontally several feet like a ghost, easily dodging Chen Mingyuan's sword light and the talismans.

The large saber at his waist unsheathed itself, the blade glowing with a chilling red light: “Today, we shall settle this!”

He gripped the saber with both hands and slashed downward fiercely. A massive arc of Saber Qi whistled out, carrying a world-destroying power.

Seeing the saber coming so fiercely, Chen Mingyuan immediately used the dragon-whiskers sword to defend. White and red lights intertwined, blowing away several Yan State soldiers on the battlefield.

While Chen Mingyuan and Yun Yue were fighting him from above and below, Chen Mingyuan immediately shouted to Ye Xuan and Ye Yi below: “You two, hurry up and join the battle!”

Ye Xuan looked at the three of them who all had flying Magical Artifacts and felt helpless.

He and Ye Yi used their spiritual power to temporarily fly in front of the three combatants. One holding a sword and the other a saber, they slashed at Mad Blade Immortal Master together.

Facing the siege of four people, Mad Blade Immortal Master was not afraid at all, his large saber clashing continuously.

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Mad Blade Immortal Master's eyes, and he suddenly pulled a red Medicinal Pill from his robes and stuffed it into his mouth.

The Medicinal Pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth, and a surge of violent spiritual power instantly erupted from within his body.

His cultivation level instantly surged to the Realm of Qi Refining Level 9.

“All of you, go to your deaths!”

This majestic spiritual power left Ye Xuan horrified. How did this Mad Blade Immortal Master suddenly become so powerful?!

He swung his large saber frantically, and countless red arcs of Saber Qi densely enveloped the four of them, blocking all their paths of retreat.

The red Saber Qi poured down like a rainstorm. The pupils of Ye Xuan and the other three constricted, and they could only push their Magical Artifacts to the limit to defend.

The white light of the dragon-whiskers sword, the green glow of Yun Yue's talismans, the silver radiance of Ye Xuan's longsword, and the cold light of Ye Yi's long saber wove together into a net.

But even so, the violent Saber Qi still shook the four of them so much that their blood surged. They retreated repeatedly, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corners of their mouths.

After using this move, Mad Blade Immortal Master also spat out a mouthful of blood, and the ruthlessness in his eyes lessened slightly.

He gripped the saber in his hand and flipped his wrist. The large saber swept out, and a seemingly fierce arc of Saber Qi with leftover power slashed toward Ye Xuan's face.

Ye Xuan hurriedly swung his blade to parry. He was currently only at the Qi Refining Level 5 cultivation level. This move immediately caused him to cough up blood, and he barely managed to block it with extreme difficulty.

The gourd under Mad Blade Immortal Master's feet suddenly accelerated, and his figure turned into a red stream of light. He did not continue his aggressive attack, but instead sped toward the dense forest at the edge of the battlefield.

Before leaving, he turned back and laughed wildly, his tone full of provocation: “A bunch of trash, you can't even take one of my moves! If you have the guts, then chase me, and see if I don't grind your bones to ashes!”

Mad Blade Immortal Master's provocation was like a bucket of fire, instantly igniting Chen Mingyuan's fury.

Nothing but killing intent and resentment remained in his eyes. He roared: “This old thief wants to escape! We absolutely cannot let him run! The Medicinal Pill he took must have exhausted his spiritual power. Pursue and strike!”

“Fellow Daoist, wait!” Ye Xuan hurriedly called out to Chen Mingyuan, who still wanted to give chase. “Do not pursue a cornered foe!”
