187: Summoning the God Ancestor, Shura Trial

War was on the verge of breaking out, and the thirty-odd Ye Family powerhouses behind Ye Jin drew their blades and charged towards the Evil Qi Tower.

"Form up and repel the enemy!"

At Xue Ruyu's command, the troops guarding the Evil Qi Tower immediately rushed forward to resist the charge of the Ye Family Enforcement Team.

Blades clashed, emitting a piercing hum, and soon, members from both sides fell into pools of blood.

Ye Jin left Xue Ruyu behind and headed straight for the Evil Qi Tower, planning to enter it directly and attack Ye Kong.

Xue Ruyu, of course, wouldn't give him that chance. She flew over, her long sword thrusting out, intending to block Ye Jin.

Xue Ruyu's sword came very quickly, forcing Ye Jin to turn and defend.

Ye Jin swung the waist saber in his hand, and the Power of Flame spread. The surrounding air rapidly vanished under the scorching heat, even the space was distorted.

Comparatively, Xue Ruyu, worried about injuring nearby soldiers, only had the might of her long sword coiling around her body, not spreading out like Ye Jin's.

Although the flames on Ye Jin's body were not a pure fire-type talent, their power was no weaker than pure flame power.

Coupled with the enhancement of his Saber Technique, it possessed incredibly formidable power.

This was the powerful Killing Move Ye Jin was so proud of.

However, Xue Ruyu was not afraid in the slightest; in terms of weaponry, she was even superior.

She had now achieved Peak King-level combat power, and her Sword Control Technique had received the true 傳 from the God Ancestor Yang Wuji. What was there to fear?

With a clang, Xue Ruyu preemptively struck out with a sword. Sword Qi, mixed with True Qi, tore through the heavens and earth, instantly scattering the flames attached to Ye Jin's waist saber, and the Sword Qi lunged directly at Ye Jin.

Upon seeing his Move broken, Ye Jin appeared slightly flustered, yet at the same time, he became excited.

He swung the waist saber in his hand, instantly raising a large area of flames. The flames transformed into a fiery snake dancing around the waist saber.

"If you don't hand over Ye Kong, you'll die with him!"

Ye Jin thrust his waist saber forward, colliding with Xue Ruyu's Sword Qi. The two instantly exploded, creating a small spatial explosion outside the Evil Qi Tower.

Just then, Ye Jin broke through the storm, like a God of Fire wielding a blade of flames, attacking Xue Ruyu.

"Om—"

Just as the blade was about to reach Xue Ruyu, Ye Jin suddenly let out another loud shout, and an invisible ripple instantly surged towards Xue Ruyu.

"Hmm?"

Xue Ruyu was caught off guard and her reaction was half a beat slow due to being controlled by this ripple.

It was precisely this momentary lapse that allowed Ye Jin to attack, his waist saber thrusting viciously towards Xue Ruyu.

With a cold laugh, Xue Ruyu's body remained still, but her long sword autonomously emitted Sword Qi to block Ye Jin's attack. The Sword Qi even stabbed directly towards Ye Jin's glabella.

Ye Jin was greatly alarmed, having never seen such a sword technique, and hastily switched from offense to defense.

With a puff, despite Ye Jin's utmost defense, like Xue Ruyu, he was half a beat slow.

But he didn't have Sword Qi to protect him. His right shoulder, due to insufficient dodging, was struck by Sword Qi. If he hadn't slightly blocked with his saber, it would have been his glabella that was pierced by the Sword Qi.

"Let me show you Senior Yang's Sword Control Technique!"

Xue Ruyu, having gained an advantage, did not stop there but pressed her attack.

Her long sword continuously thrust out several streams of Sword Qi, putting Ye Jin in perilous situations.

"Cough, cough..."

After a fierce battle, Ye Jin coughed up blood violently, his eyes fixed on Xue Ruyu, his gaze incredibly fierce.

"What's wrong? Since you want to capture Ye Kong, why stop now?"

Xue Ruyu provoked him from not far away. Although she had also received Ye Jin's counterattacks, she had few injuries and they were not a problem at all.

"Stop talking nonsense..."

Ye Jin had just opened his mouth when another mouthful of fresh blood gushed out. He had two deep wounds on his body.

The first was on his right shoulder, and the second was on his waist.

Ye Jin clutched his waist and abdomen, his hands stained with blood.

Ye Jin was panicking internally; he knew very well that he might not be Xue Ruyu's opponent!

The surrounding Enforcement Team members and the soldiers guarding the Evil Qi Tower were still in a chaotic battle. Ye Jin's eyes narrowed.

The only option was to invite the God Ancestor!

Ye Jin tossed his waist saber into the sky, and a stream of flames shot up.

Xue Ruyu immediately became vigilant, wary of Ye Jin's Move.

However, the flames that shot into the sky were not a Move, but his way of signaling Ye Jiu, the captain of the Ye Family Enforcement Team!

Ye Jiu was currently observing from a distance outside the Evil Qi Tower. Upon seeing the soaring blaze, he immediately began to circulate his Qi.

"Very good, once the God Ancestor arrives, Ye Kong will surely die!"

Xue Ruyu also noticed the anomaly; the soaring flames did not descend to attack her.

Xue Ruyu stared at Ye Jin. Ye Jin was now injured and disarmed; it was a good opportunity to kill him.

Just as Xue Ruyu was about to make her Move, Ye Jin suddenly let out a long howl to the sky: "Hahaha, excellent, the God Ancestor will arrive immediately. All of you, you will die!"

Xue Ruyu's heart tightened, and she immediately moved, thrusting her long sword—a single strike to seal the throat!

Blood splattered everywhere as Ye Jin was pierced through the throat by Xue Ruyu's sword.

He couldn't make a sound, whimpering as he clutched the blade, slowly losing his breath.

Xue Ruyu pulled out her long sword and shouted to the surrounding Ye Family Enforcement Team: "Your captain has been slain by me! All of you, retreat quickly!"

"He is not our captain! Ye Kong must die today!"

What?

Xue Ruyu was stunned. Soon, a Void Realm rift appeared in the sky.

The trace of the Void Realm gradually became a crack, and the crack gradually widened, tearing and distorting space.

Xue Ruyu was greatly alarmed; this was a God Ancestor crossing the Void Realm!

Inside the Evil Qi Tower, Ye Kong was currently circulating his True Qi with all his might, digesting Killing Intent and replenishing himself.

He could vaguely hear the clashing of weapons and the sounds of fighting from both sides outside the Evil Qi Tower.

He had to recover his strength as quickly as possible!

At a certain moment, Ye Kong didn't know what mechanism he triggered, but he suddenly entered the Asura Domain.

What is this place?

The voice of Asura came to Ye Kong.

"The Asura Power must not be cut off. I will send assassins to replace you!"

Nonsensical!

Ye Kong was bewildered. He was recovering his stamina, so why was Asura bothering him again?

"You hurry up and let me go back! I still need to recover my strength! I don't have time to play with you!" Ye Kong shouted at the unknown entity.

However, the Asura God did not respond to Ye Kong.

Not long after, a forest appeared before Ye Kong.

What? Is this the Ten Thousand Race Battlefield?

Ye Kong looked closely, and this was not the Ten Thousand Race Battlefield.

This was an unknown region. Ye Kong immediately wanted to release Killing Intent to probe, but he couldn't.

What's going on? Does this place have an inhibitory effect on Killing Intent? Thunder!

The electric light in his hand flickered for a moment, then quickly disappeared. What's wrong? I can't circulate any of my True Qi!

"System!"

...After a brief silence, goosebumps rose all over Ye Kong's body.

What kind of ghost place was this, that it could even block the System?

Ye Kong then cautiously moved forward. Suddenly, several figures darted out of the forest.

"Who?"

Three Black-Clad People, exuding Killing Intent, immediately surrounded Ye Kong.

Ye Kong saw that these Black-Clad People actually had no faces!

But this aura, it was undoubtedly Asura's doing!

"Hmph, are these your assassins?"

"Do you think that just because I can't use Thunder Power and Asura Power, I'm completely useless trash?"

Ye Kong parried with these three assassins sent by Asura for a moment, then his feet moved, and the assassins made their Move first.

An assassin, an Incarnation of Asura Power on the left, had a dagger in his hand at some point. He brandished the dagger and stabbed towards Ye Kong's waist, an aura of Killing Intent emanating from it.

Another Asura Incarnation on the right held a saber and chopped towards Ye Kong's head, and in an instant, an extremely strong Killing Intent flowed out again.

In addition, there was one person in the middle who kept a close eye on Ye Kong, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

It seemed that the assassins, the Asura Incarnations who came out to hunt Ye Kong, were not ordinary individuals.

The Asura God had wanted to Possess Ye Kong for a long time.

Every time Ye Kong reached a critical moment, Asura would come out and try, but Ye Kong's will was firm, and the Asura God had never succeeded!

However, this time was also the first time Ye Kong had encountered an attack from the Asura God.

This was potentially life-threatening!

Ye Kong knew this, but remained calm and composed. He stepped back with his left leg, then swiftly dodged to the left, causing the dagger, which carried intense Killing Intent, to miss.

At the same time, Ye Kong reached forward with his left hand, and in the form of a hand knife, he struck the hand of the Asura Incarnation on the left that was holding the saber, and the Killing Intent instantly dispersed.

Ye Kong instantly felt that his Killing Intent power had recovered a lot.

The Incarnation's arm on the left trembled, the dagger fell to the ground, turning into a bloody mist and dissipating into the air.

The Asura Incarnation on the right drew his saber, still wanting to attack Ye Kong again. Ye Kong immediately seized this opportunity, shifting his center of gravity to his right foot.

And his left leg, which had originally retreated, instantly kicked out, striking the Asura Incarnation on the right. The Incarnation's abdomen contracted, letting out a muffled groan, and flew backward.

The Incarnation fell to the ground, and soon, like the dagger, it turned into a bloody mist and dissipated.

Although Ye Kong could not release Asura Power and Thunder Power, his long-term experience on the battlefield had already honed him into a powerful close-combat fighter.

In close-quarters combat, Ye Kong had nothing to fear!

The Asura Incarnation in the middle took advantage of Ye Kong's kick, leaving him with only one foot on the ground and an unstable center of gravity.

He quickly lunged forward, his hand condensing Killing Intent, and thrust his saber towards Ye Kong's heart.

If this strike hit Ye Kong, Ye Kong himself knew that he would probably be dead.

The Asura Incarnation's speed was extremely fast; it seemed he also knew that Ye Kong would not have time to dodge this strike!

Ye Kong clearly knew at this moment that retracting his leg and sidestepping to dodge was too late!

He instead spun around, using the power of his right foot to support his entire body, his right foot immediately began to rotate, and then he jumped on one foot.

His entire body spun rapidly in the air, creating a whirlwind.

Before the bayonet could get close, Ye Kong's right leg, imbued with great force, kicked the Asura Incarnation in the face.

The middle Incarnation crashed into the Incarnation on the right, and both instantly flew out, falling to the ground, turning into a puddle of bloody mist, and dissipating into the air.

"Asura God, what other abilities do you have? Bring them all out!"

Ye Kong roared, and the surrounding environment suddenly began to crack!

Space was cracking!
