Chapter 31: Irresistible Force!

Mind's Eye.

It could pierce through all the evils of the world!

Whether it was a maze or an illusionary formation, as long as he wasn't being utterly crushed by the opponent, he could easily see through it!

Under the gaze of the Mind's Eye, numerous hidden methods were revealed without ambiguity!

What kind of technique was this?!

In the shadows, three figures in black watched this scene, their hearts churning like stormy seas!

Among those of the same realm, no one could see through the Mist-Hidden Killing Formation!

Not to mention this was a Mist-Hidden Killing Formation performed by the three of them at the cost of burning their essence blood!

Even a peak practitioner of the Sea of Qi Realm would be unable to see through it!

Unless a powerhouse of the Water Overflow Realm used brute force to break the formation, only then could this Mist-Hidden Killing Formation be dispelled!

However, Ye Qiubai was merely a practitioner of the Purple Mansion Realm.

His cultivation level was even lower than theirs!

How did he manage to do this?

Could it be a coincidence?

But just as they thought of this...

They felt a surge of sword intent rising from Ye Qiubai!

It was as if he intended to slash through this very space!

Sword intent?!

According to the records.

Ye Qiubai had only been cultivating for a mere dozen years.

How could he have comprehended sword intent?!

Immediately following, the sword qi carrying that sword intent slashed precisely toward the positions of the three men!

The expressions of the three changed drastically.

Seeing this, how could they not know?

Ye Qiubai had already seen through the formation!

"Shift formation, Shadow Kill Formation!"

The three simultaneously struck their hand seals, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the seals!

Instantly, the mist within the formation dissipated, replaced by countless dark daggers that lunged toward Ye Qiubai's sword intent!

Since the illusionary maze was useless, they would use a killing formation to clash head-on!

However, as an assassin organization, once Shadow Kill lost its element of stealth...

How could they possibly be a match for Ye Qiubai in direct combat?

The countless dark daggers were instantly shattered by the sword intent!

The momentum did not diminish, continuing its path to slash toward the three men!

The black-clad figures' faces paled, but it was already too late to dodge; they could only raise their daggers in front of their chests.

Layers of spiritual qi appeared before them to block this sharp sword intent!

*Crack!*

The sound of shattering rang out continuously!

That sword intent was unstoppable, crushing through the layers of spiritual qi shields like a force of nature!

The sword intent landed on the bodies of the three men.

It passed straight through!

Instantly, lines of blood sprayed from their chests!

A single strike had claimed three lives!

Ye Qiubai flicked the Dark Demon in his hand, watching the scene with cold eyes, appearing entirely indifferent.

On the other side.

Chou Libi watched this scene, his face filled with terror.

At this moment, he had no intention of killing Ye Qiubai whatsoever.

He only thought about how to save his own life!

However, it felt as if he were locked onto by Ye Qiubai's aura; his legs felt bound to the ground, unable to move!

The four armored men of the Sunset Dynasty also wore expressions of astonishment.

After all, in their eyes, Ye Qiubai was certain to die once trapped in the Mist-Hidden Killing Formation!

Yet now, not only had Ye Qiubai broken out of the formation...

He had also killed the three assassins of Shadow Kill in a single strike!

But that was not what concerned them.

It was that overwhelming sword intent!

One must know that even in the Northern Territory, even in the Sunset Dynasty!

No one had comprehended sword intent at such a young age!

Those capable of comprehending sword intent were nothing less than great sword cultivators of a certain domain!

Such people were not easily offended even by the Sunset Dynasty; they would only seek to build alliances with them.

Ye Qiubai walked toward the five men, step by step.

With every step, the sword intent upon him surged higher!

His eyes were incredibly cold; in his view, these five were already dead men.

The blade was like a snake, and the sword intent was like a flickering tongue, constantly spitting out!

Chou Libi's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing this, the four armored men also felt a sense of dread in their hearts.

Upon realizing this, they felt an intense surge of shame and anger.

How could a mere Southern barbarian give them such a feeling?

It was impossible!

Suddenly, one of them erupted with blood qi, transforming it into a massive blood-colored fist that smashed toward Ye Qiubai!

Seeing the blood-colored fist approaching, Ye Qiubai continued to walk forward without drawing his sword.

However, just as the blood-colored fist was about to strike his body, that surge of sword intent erupted directly from within him!

In an instant, sword intent crisscrossed the air!

The blood-colored fist was instantly torn into fragments!

Then, with a slight stomp of his foot, Ye Qiubai's body vanished from his original position!

In a flash, he appeared before the armored man. With his sword held behind his back, he thrust out a single finger!

The armored man had no time to react, watching helplessly as Ye Qiubai's finger landed on the center of his brow!

*Puff!*

A line of blood sprayed from the back of the man's head!

A single finger had pierced through his brow!

"You dare kill us? The Sunset Dynasty will not..."

But before he could finish his sentence, Ye Qiubai swung his sword in a backhand strike!

The head was sent flying!

Seeing the situation turn dire, the remaining two immediately retreated, preparing to flee!

However, Ye Qiubai would not let tigers return to the mountains.

For every person they sent, he would kill one!

Sooner or later, Ye Qiubai would take the initiative and march upon the Sunset Dynasty!

He slashed directly toward the two!

Sword intent filled the sky!

It transformed into a massive strike that slammed into their armor!

But the armor provided no protection at all; it was severed at the waist as if it were made of paper!

The members of the Sunset Dynasty were all wiped out!

After collecting all four of their storage rings, Ye Qiubai finally turned his gaze toward the trembling Chou Libi.

At this moment, Chou Libi no longer possessed his previous arrogance; his eyes were filled with nothing but terror.

Ye Qiubai looked at him coldly.

He heard Chou Libi say, "Ye... Ye Qiubai, I haven't really done anything. Can you show mercy for the sake of the Chou family?"

Seeing that Ye Qiubai remained unmoved, Chou Libi continued to beg in a trembling voice, "I definitely won't cause you trouble again! And whatever you want me to do, I'll do it! I'll be your ox or your horse, anything!"

Having said that, he even knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to Ye Qiubai!

Seeing this, Ye Qiubai said nothing, but instead kicked a nearby rock!

The rock shattered, and the fragments pierced through Chou Libi's body!

This included his dantian!

Chou Libi let out a cry of pain.

The aura on his body vanished rapidly. Clearly, his dantian had been destroyed, and his entire cultivation had vanished, leaving him a cripple!

Sensing the state of his body, Chou Libi wailed, "Kill me! Just kill me!"

Ye Qiubai did not respond, turning around and leaving the place.

To kill a man like this, Ye Qiubai feared he would dirty his sword.

With one day remaining before the end of the Blood Prison Trial, Ye Qiubai encountered Hong Ying.

"Senior Brother, did you deal with those people from the Sunset Dynasty?"

Ye Qiubai smiled and said, "Yes, they've been dealt with."

Hong Ying nodded. She wasn't surprised that he could handle them.

After all, he was a disciple of their Master.

If he couldn't do it, that would have been the disappointing outcome.

Ye Qiubai asked, "Junior Sister, have you finished your business?"

Hong Ying nodded and said, "Once my strength returns to its peak, I will take to the battlefield again. However, I might need to borrow your strength then, Senior Brother."

"Fine, just call me if you need anything."

Being fellow disciples of their Master and his own junior sister, Ye Qiubai naturally would not refuse.
