461: Chapter 461 So it was you, you old dog

Two days later, everything was ready.

Ye Tian did not use the little void boat.

He chose to fly through the air.

With his cultivation at the Middle Stage of the Hǎihǎi Five-Layer, he had enough strength to support long-distance flight.

He could also take the opportunity to enjoy the scenery along the way and relax his mind, which had been feeling suffocated by too many affairs.

Shui Qingdie naturally followed closely behind. Although her cultivation was not as high as Ye Tian's, flying was not a problem for her.

The two left the Liuli Xuan Sect and flew unhurriedly toward the direction of the Ye family in the Northern Territory.

They swept past mountains, rivers, towns, and villages, admiring the Northern scenery that was slightly different from that of the Central Plains.

Shui Qingdie appeared exceptionally excited, chattering away the whole journey, pointing at various novel things and asking questions, her laughter sounding like silver bells.

Ye Tian also rarely got to relax; he patiently answered her, occasionally sharing interesting anecdotes from his training, making the journey quite relaxed and pleasant.

Perhaps because he was thinking of the mother he was about to see, Ye Tian's vigilance unconsciously dropped significantly.

He actually did not notice that several obscure auras were coldly watching them from the mountains in the distance.

Wanren Sword Pavilion, Ling Juexiao.

This old rival, who had been slapped in the face by Ye Tian many times in the Northern Territory and had even lost an Elder, felt his jealousy, hatred, and killing intent reach their Peak after learning that Ye Tian had actually won first place in the Great Yan Supreme Ranking and become famous throughout the world.

He knew that with Ye Tian's current strength and reputation, it would be difficult to shake him openly.

But how could he be willing to let it go?

He had long ago used the dark lines that Wanren Sword Pavilion had operated for many years in the Northern Territory to set up eyes and ears on several routes that Ye Tian might take.

When the news that Ye Tian planned to return to the Northern Territory was sent back by his eyes and ears, Ling Juexiao knew that the opportunity had arrived!

Leaving the protection of the Liuli Xuan Sect and the Imperial Capital was his only good opportunity to strike!

If he allowed Ye Tian to continue growing, he would never have the possibility of revenge again!

He immediately summoned two other Elders in the pavilion with the cultivation of the Fourth Stage of Sea Transformation.

Then, he personally led the team, and according to the locations continuously sent back by the eyes and ears, he arrived in advance at a desolate stone forest canyon that Ye Tian had to pass through, and set up a concealment Formation.

Ye Tian flew over the stone forest canyon, thinking about how surprised his mother would be to see him suddenly return, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

Just at this moment!

"Do it!"

From the stone forest below came a violent shout from Ling Juexiao!

Several sharp sword lights soared into the sky, striking directly at Ye Tian's vital points!

"Ye Tian, be careful!" Shui Qingdie sensed something was wrong and immediately exclaimed.

Ye Tian had already become alert the moment Ling Juexiao made a sound, but the sword lights were too fast and too sudden!

His eyes turned cold, and the Chaos True Essence and Five Elements Precious Body within his body were triggered; the Chaos Thunder Gang formed a layer of protective Protective Aura around his body, while simultaneously pushing Shui Qingdie, who was beside him, to a safe distance behind.

"Clang!!"

The sword lights slammed into the protective Protective Aura almost simultaneously!

The protective Protective Aura rippled violently, especially the sword light from Ling Juexiao, which was at the Peak of the Hǎihǎi Five-Layer; its power was the strongest, and it actually caused the Thunder Gang shield to dent inward, with lightning scattering everywhere!

But, in the end, it could not break through!

The sneak attack failed to achieve full success, and the figures of Ling Juexiao and the others appeared from the stone forest, surrounding Ye Tian in mid-air in a Formation.

Ling Juexiao held a crimson longsword, staring fixedly at Ye Tian, his eyes full of killing intent, yet he also felt very shocked.

His sword just now had used almost all his strength, and it was a sneak attack, yet he hadn't even been able to break the opponent's protective Thunder Gang?!

He remembered that before, Ye Tian was still being chased around by him like a dog; how had he become so strong now?!

How long has it been?!

"Ling Juexiao, so it was you, you old dog."

Ye Tian's gaze swept over the few people, his expression cold.

Wanren Sword Pavilion, and Ling Juexiao, he had never forgotten them!

"Just by relying on the three of you, you dare to come and stop me?"

"Little beast! Stop being arrogant!"

Ling Juexiao was enraged by Ye Tian's contemptuous tone: "Today is your death day! Two Elders, follow me, kill him!"

"Junior Brother Ye, I will help you!"

Shui Qingdie already had a pair of Water-Dividing Spikes in her hands, her pretty face filled with murderous intent.

"No need."

Ye Tian waved his hand at her, his gaze still locked on the three of Ling Juexiao, his tone carrying absolute confidence: "These few old trash fish, I alone am enough. Senior Sister Shui, you should step back a bit, lest you get splattered with blood."

These words were said plainly, but the contempt within them was simply like slaps, hitting Ling Juexiao and the three of them hard in the face.

They were, after all, the Pavilion Master and Elders of Wanren Sword Pavilion, and they counted as people with status in the Northern Territory; when had they ever been looked down upon like this?

"I am furious! Little beast, take your life!"

Ling Juexiao was completely enraged, no longer caring about any Formation coordination; his body and sword merged into one, turning into a crimson sword rainbow over ten zhang long, carrying a scorching Sword Intent that burned everything, and slashed down towards Ye Tian!

This sword was struck in anger, and its power was even stronger than the sneak attack just now!

Seeing this, the other two Elders also roared and attacked at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, their sword lights blocking Ye Tian's sides, coordinating with Ling Juexiao's fatal blow.

Facing this terrifying three-way combined attack, Ye Tian just sneered.

He didn't even draw his sword.

He raised his right hand and gently grasped at the crimson sword rainbow that had the greatest momentum.

"Hum!"

The giant Thunder hand, carrying the terrifying power to suppress everything, directly grabbed at that sharp crimson sword rainbow!

"Shatter for me!"

"Boom crack!!!"

That seemingly mighty sword rainbow, in front of the giant Thunder Gang hand, was instantly pinched and burst open, turning into flying fire filling the sky!

Ling Juexiao screamed, spat out a mouthful of blood, and flew backward!

At the same time, Ye Tian casually pointed to the left and right.

Two sword Sword Gangs arrived first despite starting later.

"Crack! Crack!"

The longswords in the hands of the two Elders actually snapped in response!

The Thunder Sword Gang continued to crash into their protective True Essence.

"Puff! Puff!"

The two instantly flew backward, spraying blood wildly, their auras instantly withered, and their eyes were filled with boundless fear.

They hadn't even seen clearly how Ye Tian had made his move!

From Ling Juexiao's sudden attack to the three of them being defeated, vomiting blood, and flying backward, the whole process took no more than two or three breaths!

Ye Tian stood in mid-air, his gaze looking indifferently at the terrified Ling Juexiao.

"Is that it?" Ye Tian lightly spat out two words.

Ling Juexiao trembled all over, looking at Ye Tian, a chill instantly rushing from his soles to his crown.

He was finally afraid!

The Ye Tian in front of him was no longer someone he could provoke!

Escape!

Must escape!

Ling Juexiao was terrified to the core, no longer daring to hesitate, crazily burning his essence blood, his body turning into blood light, preparing to flee into the distance!

"Want to leave now? It's too late."

Ye Tian pointed his fingers together and slashed, a gray-purple thunder line instantly flashing past the blood light that Ling Juexiao had turned into.

The blood light suddenly froze in mid-air, then dissipated, revealing Ling Juexiao's figure, which was frozen with endless fear.

"Ugh..."

Ling Juexiao could not make a sound in his throat, and the brilliance in his eyes quickly dimmed.

The next moment, his entire body, along with the broken sword in his hand, turned into a handful of flying ash in the air and drifted away with the wind.

Wanren Sword Pavilion Pavilion Master, Ling Juexiao, was thus destroyed in both body and soul, leaving no bones behind.

Ye Tian didn't even look at the drifting flying ash, flicking his fingers to release two more Thunder Gangs, completely finishing off the two seriously injured and unconscious Wanren Sword Pavilion Elders below.

For these people who had racked their brains to put him to death, he would not have the slightest mercy.

After doing all this, he restrained his aura, turned to look at the somewhat stunned Shui Qingdie in the distance, and a gentle smile appeared on his face again: "It's fine, just a few clowns. Let's continue on our way."

Shui Qingdie looked at Ye Tian, then at the stone forest below, which only had a few scorch marks left, and swallowed her saliva.

She knew Ye Tian was strong, but seeing him instantly kill two Fourth Stage of Sea Transformation Elders and one Peak of the Hǎihǎi Five-Layer Pavilion Master so casually, this shock was still indescribable.

"Mhm!"

Shui Qingdie nodded vigorously, flew back to Ye Tian's side, and very naturally took his arm again, her smile like a flower: "Junior Brother Ye, you are so amazing! Let's go quickly, don't let Aunt Ye wait anxiously!"

Ye Tian was helpless, so he had to let her hold him, and the two rose into the air again, speeding toward the direction of the Ye family.
