335: Chapter 335 One Sword Eliminates Three Scoundrels

The points transfer was complete. Ye Tian casually tossed the Spirit Jade back to Zhao Shukuang: "Crush it, or wait for someone to save you; it's up to you."

According to the rules, those who lost their Spirit Jade were already eliminated, but they could choose to crush it to leave, or wait for the Secret Realm to close and be forcibly teleported out, though the latter carried immense risk.

Zhao Shukuang was so angry he spat out another mouthful of blood, but he dared not utter any more threats, only staring at Ye Tian with the most venomous gaze.

Ye Tian ignored them and turned to look at the four Qingyue Sect Disciples who were still in shock.

The refined youth awoke as if from a dream, hurriedly bringing his companions forward to bow deeply: "Chen Song of the Qingyue Sect, along with my Junior Brother and Junior Sister, thank you, Senior Brother Ye, for saving our lives!"

"A mere trifle," Ye Tian waved his hand. "This place is not suitable for lingering. I shall take my leave first; you should also depart quickly."

"Yes, yes!" Chen Song was endlessly grateful, then hesitated and said, "Senior Brother Ye, Tianhu Gate is known for seeking revenge for the slightest grievance, and that Zhao Mao is even more... You must be extra careful."

Ye Tian nodded and said no more. With a flicker of his figure, he vanished into the depths of the withered forest.

The four of them watched the direction in which Ye Tian had disappeared, filled with deep emotion.

Who could have imagined that just yesterday they had to swallow their pride, yet today they witnessed the overbearing Tianhu Gate Disciples being defeated as easily as slicing melons and vegetables?

That Senior Brother Ye... his strength is unfathomable. I fear the bronze thread rank has vastly underestimated him!

"Let's go quickly!" Chen Song dared not linger and quickly left with his Junior Brother and Junior Sister.

Ye Tian traveled through the withered forest, his Spirit Jade points having become 185.

By seizing the Spirit Jades of Zhao Shukuang and the other four, he obtained half of their original points, which, combined with the two Vicious Beasts he had hunted earlier, easily surpassed one hundred.

But he did not stop; advancing was only the minimum goal.

As for Zhao Mao of Tianhu Gate, he was not afraid, but rather, somewhat expectant.

Only by exchanging blows with experts on the silver glow list could he better test himself.

Just now, when dealing with Zhao Shukuang and the other four, he hadn't even used thirty percent of his strength.

Over the next two days, Ye Tian wandered through the wasteland and the withered forest area.

He specifically sought out places with abnormal Spiritual Qi to see if he could encounter any natural treasures.

During this time, he killed several Third-Rank Yao Beasts and encountered two groups of Disciples from other factions. Seeing that his cultivation was at the True Martial Tenth Stage Peak, most chose to avoid him cautiously, and there were no conflicts, which he was happy to keep peaceful.

On the third day at noon, Ye Tian arrived at a stone forest region.

The stone pillars were tall, often reaching dozens of zhang, with strange shapes that obstructed his line of sight.

"The metal-attribute Spiritual Qi here is unusually active. There might be metal-attribute spiritual items, or... a powerful metal-attribute Yao Beast lurking here." Ye Tian slowed his pace, using his spiritual sense to investigate carefully.

Suddenly, intense sounds of fighting came from ahead, faintly mixed with a woman's cold shout.

Ye Tian approached quietly and hid behind a stone pillar to look.

He saw that in an open space amidst the stone forest, three Cultivators wearing clothing embroidered with a white skull logo on the chest were besieging a woman dressed in white, whose appearance was as clear and beautiful as snow.

That woman was none other than the Inner Sect Disciple of the Liuli Xuan Sect, Jiang Chuxue!

Her cultivation had reached the Seventh Stage of True Martial Realm, and she wielded the Ice Soul Sword Technique. Wherever the sword light passed, white frost condensed on the ground, but facing the siege of the three men in black, she was already struggling to defend herself, her shoulder stained with blood, and her breath chaotic.

The three men in black besieging her were all at the True Martial Eighth Stage. Their attacks were ruthless, using a strange type of weapon resembling soul-snatching chains that could release filthy black Qi to erode an opponent's True Essence, which had a certain restraining effect on Jiang Chuxue's icy Sword Qi.

The three of them had lewdness in their eyes.

"Little girl, your sword technique is good, and your appearance is even better! Hand over your Spirit Jade obediently and have some fun with us brothers, and perhaps we can spare your life!" The leader of the men in black laughed strangely, attacking Jiang Chuxue's lower body.

"Scum of the Youyu Gate! Never!" Jiang Chuxue's face was pale, but she gritted her teeth, her sword momentum becoming more urgent, yet flaws had already appeared.

The Youyu Gate was a notorious Sect of the Evil Path within the Great Yan Dynasty. Its members were despicable in their conduct and fond of kidnapping female Cultivators; he hadn't expected them to have snuck into the Supreme Ranking as well.

Just as Jiang Chuxue was about to have her ankle entangled by a chain, a burst of Sword Qi suddenly shot out from behind a side stone pillar, striking that chain.

"Clang!" The chain snapped in response!

"Who?!" The three Youyu Gate Disciples were shocked, hurriedly retreating and looking vigilantly toward the source of the Sword Qi.

Jiang Chuxue also seized the opportunity to escape the battle circle, looking over while panting. When she saw the figure in green robes walking slowly out from behind the stone pillar, a burst of joyful light instantly erupted in her beautiful eyes: "Ye... Senior Brother Ye!"

Ye Tian nodded slightly at her, his gaze falling upon the three Youyu Gate Disciples, his eyes cold, causing a chill to run through the hearts of those three.

"Another one here to die? Hehe, it seems our luck is good today; we have both points and a beauty!" The men in black quickly calmed down, fierce light flickering in their eyes.

The three of them were all at the True Martial Eighth Stage; dealing with a greenhorn and an injured little girl was simply easy.

"Kid, if you're sensible, get lost! Otherwise, we'll deal with you along with her!" Another man in black licked his lips.

Ye Tian did not speak, only slowly raising sword.

"Damn it, attack!"

The leading man in black felt his hair stand on end and shouted sharply. The three of them simultaneously threw the broken chains in their hands. The broken chains actually reconnected in mid-air, transforming into a giant python rolling with black Qi, biting toward Ye Tian.

Jiang Chuxue's face changed; this power was several times stronger than when they were besieging her just now!

Ye Tian watched the giant Qi python attacking and just casually swung his sword.

A crescent-shaped Sword Qi cut horizontally across the black Qi giant python.

The next moment, in the horrified eyes of the three men in black, that giant python instantly dissipated!

And the crescent-shaped Sword Qi, after destroying the giant python, continued toward them with undiminished power, directly piercing through their bodies!

The three of them stiffened, the light in their eyes rapidly dimming, and they fell forward, dying instantly.

Until their deaths, they did not understand how a greenhorn who looked so weak could slash out such terrifying Sword Qi?!

Jiang Chuxue covered her small mouth, looking at this scene in shock.

She knew Senior Brother Ye was strong, but she hadn't expected him to be strong to this degree!

Three elite Youyu Gate members at the True Martial Eighth Stage were actually killed in seconds with one sword?

Is this really something a True Martial Realm Cultivator can achieve?

Ye Tian sheathed his sword, walked to the three corpses, and took off their Spirit Jades. Another significant amount of points was credited.

"Senior Brother Ye... thank you for saving me!" Jiang Chuxue came forward and bowed gracefully, her face still showing lingering fear.

"Between fellow Sect members, there is no need for such courtesy." Ye Tian tossed aside the three Spirit Jades and asked, "Are you alone? Have you met any other fellow Sect members?"

Jiang Chuxue shook her head, her expression dim: "I was alone when I was teleported in. I have been carefully hiding for these two days, hunting a few low-level Yao Beasts, and only managed to accumulate forty-something points. I didn't expect to be targeted by these three Youyu Gate thieves today..."

"Are your points enough?" Ye Tian asked.

"I'm still lacking quite a bit." Jiang Chuxue blushed, feeling somewhat ashamed.

Ye Tian pondered slightly, then transferred a portion of the points from his own Spirit Jade to Jiang Chuxue.

His points had long since far exceeded one hundred; the extra ones were useless.

Jiang Chuxue's Spirit Jade flashed with light, and her points became 102.

"This... Senior Brother Ye, how can I accept this?" Jiang Chuxue hurriedly refused.

"It is fine; I have enough. Your priority is to advance first." Ye Tian's tone was strict. "This place is bloody and may attract trouble. You should find a safe place to wait for the Secret Realm to end, or go to the safe stronghold marked on the map."

"Yes, thank you, Senior Brother!" Jiang Chuxue was moved, knowing that Ye Tian was considering her safety.

"Take care of yourself." Ye Tian said no more and turned to leave.

"Senior Brother Ye!" Jiang Chuxue suddenly called out to him. After hesitating for a moment, she said in a low voice, "I... I saw from afar the day before yesterday that a sky-piercing treasure light appeared in the northwest direction. It lasted for about a quarter of an hour and attracted many people to head there. But there seems to be a powerful Restriction there, and many people have been blocked on the periphery. I wonder... if it might be useful to you, Senior Brother?"

"Treasure light? Restriction?" A sharp light flashed in Ye Tian's eyes, and he nodded. "Thank you for telling me, Junior Sister. I will keep an eye on it. Take care."

With that, his figure merged into the shadows of the stone forest and disappeared.

Jiang Chuxue gazed at the direction where Ye Tian had disappeared for a long time before gently exhaling, clutching the Spirit Jade in her hand, and quickly leaving in another direction.

Half a day later, news of the battle in the stone forest quietly spread among some of the participants.

"Have you heard? Those few from the Youyu Gate are dead!"

"Really? Those three guys were all at the True Martial Eighth Stage, and they were always inseparable. When they joined forces, they could even fight against someone at the True Martial Tenth Level! Who did it?"

"It is said to be that Ye Tian from the Liuli Xuan Sect! One sword, just one sword! All three were wiped out!"

"Him again? I heard he previously easily crippled Zhao Shukuang and five others from the Tianhu Gate?"

"What kind of strength does this Ye Tian really have? The bronze thread rank? Are you kidding me?"

"It seems Kuitian Pavilion really has to re-evaluate this time. Zhao Shukuang is Zhao Mao's cousin, and the Youyu Gate is not to be trifled with... This Ye Tian, he has guts!"

"There is treasure light appearing in the northwest; it is said that many people on the gold ranking and silver glow list have rushed there. Let's go take a look too!"

Ye Tian knew nothing of this, nor did he care.

He was speeding toward the northwest direction that Jiang Chuxue had mentioned.
