307: Chapter 307 Slaying the Poison Fang

"I killed them."

Ye Tian admitted it calmly. At the same time, he released his cultivation at the Early Stage of the ninth level of the True Martial Realm. Although it was one level lower than Du Ya's, his Sword Intent caused the expressions of many in the hall to shift slightly.

"How bold!"

The man beside Du Ya slammed the table and stood up, his eyes wide with fury. "You killed our people and still dare to barge in here? Kid, you're tired of living!"

Du Ya waved his hand, signaling for him to calm down.

He sized Ye Tian up again. "Interesting... Ninth level of the True Martial Realm with a solid aura. It seems you're no ordinary Loose Cultivator."

"Speak. Who are you?"

"What do you want, coming to my, Du Ya's, territory?"

He stared at Ye Tian, then his eyes widened, suddenly filled with greed. "Are you that Ye Tian whom the Wanren Sword Pavilion and Shadow Calamity Tower have placed a massive bounty on?"

As soon as those last two words left his mouth, the hall erupted into an uproar!

Everyone's gaze toward Ye Tian instantly became burning hot, like hungry wolves spotting fresh meat!

A million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and an Earth Rank Cultivation Technique!

It was enough to drive anyone insane!

Ye Tian neither admitted nor denied it, simply asking indifferently, "It seems this place really is one of the Shadow Calamity Tower's kennels."

"Tell me the specific deployments of the Shadow Calamity Tower and Wanren Sword Pavilion in the Land of Flowing Fire, especially the defense details, manpower, and shift rotation times for the Earth Fire Demon Abyss and Sulfur Valley."

"Tell me, and I can give you a quick death."

"Hahaha!"

Du Ya threw his head back and let out a wild laugh. "Give me a quick death?"

"With just you, a little brat at the ninth level of the True Martial Realm?"

"You think because you killed those few pieces of trash, you can act arrogant in front of me, Du Ya?"

His expression suddenly turned hideous, and his True Yuan erupted violently!

"Kid, whether you're Ye Tian or not, you die today!"

"Killing you and taking your head will always be worth some reward money!"

"Brothers, take him down!"

"I want him alive. I'm going to personally break him and see just how tough his bones are!"

"Kill him!"

"Snatch the head! Claim the bounty!"

The twenty-odd outlaws in the hall instantly saw red, howling as they lunged at Ye Tian!

Facing such an onslaught, Ye Tian remained incredibly composed. Without even needing to use a movement technique, he easily evaded every attack!

Seeing that it was about time, he raised his hand and pointed casually. A bolt of Sword Qi pierced through the forehead of one assassin.

Then, he struck out with a Heart-Piercing Palm. The victim spat blood, their chest charred black.

"God-Shocking Sting!"

Ye Tian shouted lowly as spikes of Divine Sense abruptly pierced toward the several assassins at the sixth and seventh levels of the True Martial Realm who were charging in front.

Before these men could react, they felt a sharp pain in their heads as if being stabbed by needles, and their movements instantly froze.

Ye Tian's figure flashed past, his sword-fingers tapping repeatedly. Bloody holes appeared in their foreheads, and they fell dead without even a groan.

The battle turned into a one-sided massacre!

In just a dozen breaths, seven or eight assassins lay dead on the ground.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

Du Ya's lieutenant watched with burning rage. Seeing that Ye Tian's movement technique was exquisite and that he excelled at kiting, he stomped his feet. The muscles in his arms bulged as a pair of heavy Ghost-Head Hammers appeared in his hands. He roared, "Kid, take my Earth-Shaking Wave!"

He slammed both hammers violently against the ground!

A violent, earth-colored shockwave swept forward, covering a large area.

Ye Tian's eyes narrowed. He clenched his right fist, gold light flowing through it, and punched the earth-colored shockwave!

A violent air current overturned the surrounding tables and chairs. Ye Tian's figure didn't budge an inch, his fist having already shattered the Earth-Shaking Wave!

Meanwhile, the lieutenant's arms were numbed by the shock, and his eyes filled with terror.

The opponent had actually met his full-strength strike with his bare Physical Body?!

Ye Tian seized the opportunity. While the opponent was still in shock, he instantly drew sword. The purple-black blade erupted with thunderous light as he thrust it straight at the lieutenant's chest!

The lieutenant only felt a dazzling purple light before his eyes, followed by a cold sensation in his chest. The power of lightning entered his body, frantically destroying his life force.

He looked down at the bloody hole that went straight through his chest, opened his mouth, but died before he could utter a single word.

A Cultivator at the Peak of the ninth level of the True Martial Realm was killed in one strike by Ye Tian!

The remaining ten-odd assassins, including Du Ya, were all stunned.

They knew Ye Tian wasn't easy to deal with; otherwise, the Wanren Sword Pavilion wouldn't have issued such a high bounty!

But they hadn't expected this youth to be strong to such an extent!

The lieutenant was at the Peak of the ninth level of the True Martial Realm!

To be killed instantly by one sword, without even a chance to use his killing moves!

Du Ya's face darkened completely, his skin twitching slightly, and a deep look of wariness appeared in his eyes.

He finally realized that this young man before him hadn't barged into his base alone out of a momentary impulse, but because he truly possessed absolute strength!

"Good, good, good!"

Du Ya slowly stood up, the black iron spheres in his hand creaking as he squeezed them. He stared fixedly at Ye Tian, his voice raspy. "Kid, you do have some skill!"

"No wonder the Wanren Sword Pavilion and Shadow Calamity Tower want your life at any cost!"

As he spoke, he quietly used his toe to kick a mechanism under the stone table.

The next moment, a hidden door in the corner of the hall slid open silently. Three men in gray with dull eyes, greenish-black faces, and auras at the seventh level of the True Martial Realm walked out unsteadily, blocking the way in front of Du Ya.

A thick Death Qi emanated from their bodies!

"These are the 'Poison Puppets' I've painstakingly refined. They are fearless and covered in poison."

"Today, I'll use you to test the poison!"

Then, Du Ya's figure blurred as he moved simultaneously with the three Poison Puppets, attacking Ye Tian from four directions!

The Poison Puppets moved stiffly but with great strength, swinging their poisoned claws.

As for Du Ya himself, his hands turned pitch black as palm shadows layered over each other!

He used the Poison Puppets to pin Ye Tian down while he utilized his poison techniques, attempting to win through toxicity!

Facing the spread of this lethal poison gas, Ye Tian's eyes grew colder and colder.

What he hated most was using underhanded methods like poison!

With a thought, the ancient sword pill vibrated slightly, and Sword Intent spread out, dispersing the poison gas.

At the same time, he fully activated sword. Its lightning power was the pinnacle of Yang and rigidity, the perfect bane of sinister and toxic things!

Ye Tian swung sword, transforming it into a web of lightning to protect himself.

Wherever the lightning web passed, the Poison Puppets it touched would emit black smoke, their movements becoming sluggish.

And when Du Ya's poison palms struck the lightning web, most of the force was neutralized, making it difficult for the poison gas to penetrate.

"Damn it! This lightning sword counters my poison techniques!"

Du Ya was both shocked and enraged. He hadn't expected Ye Tian to have such a countermeasure.

Taking advantage of the Poison Puppets being blocked by the lightning and the moment Du Ya's offensive faltered, Ye Tian held sword and thrust it straight at Du Ya's throat!

Du Ya never expected that while dealing with the combined attack of him and the Poison Puppets, Ye Tian would not only be unharmed but also able to counterattack!

In his haste, he could only desperately twist his body and block his throat with one of the iron spheres in his hand.

The purple lightning shattered the iron sphere. Its momentum was slightly reduced, but it still pierced through the Poison-Essence Shield Du Ya had hurriedly condensed, carving a bloody gash on the side of his neck!

Blood instantly sprayed out. Furthermore, lightning power surged into the wound, numbing half of his body and causing excruciating pain!

"Ah!"

Du Ya let out a miserable scream, clutching his blood-drenched neck as he retreated, his eyes filled with fear.

He had nearly been killed by that one sword strike!

"Block him for me!"

Du Ya roared at the remaining two Poison Puppets, while he himself turned and tried to flee toward the hidden door!

He was afraid!

This Ye Tian was too terrifying!

Sword techniques, lightning, movement, battle awareness—every single one was top-tier!

If they kept fighting, he really would die here!

"Did I say you could leave?"

Ye Tian instantly broke away from the sluggish Poison Puppets. The lightning on sword flared again, but this time, he actually tried to forcibly integrate a hint of 'Flame Burst' intent into the lightning of sword!

The purple lightning of sword was stained with a hint of gold, becoming even more intense!

Ye Tian slashed out, hitting Du Ya's back!

"Boom!"

The thunder-fire Sword Qi exploded on Du Ya's back!

The violent lightning power tore through his protective True Yuan, while the intense flames frantically destroyed his Meridians and internal organs!

Du Ya let out an even more shrill scream as he was sent flying forward, slamming into the stone wall before sliding down. His back was a charred, bloody mess, and he coughed up black, poisonous blood, with only half a breath of life remaining.

Ye Tian walked over, stepped on Du Ya's chest, and pressed sword against his forehead, looking down at him. "Speak. The deployments of the Shadow Calamity Tower and Wanren Sword Pavilion."
