Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness

Chapter 170: Ye Xuan, the Pride of the Heavens

In the space before Ye Xuan, thousands of spiritual swords were neatly arranged, like stars scattered across the sky, forming a long rainbow under the influence of the Tai Chi symbol he wielded, converging into a torrent of sword energy that counterattacked towards Wan Yuxin.

The evil energy dispersed, and Wan Yuxin, targeted by thousands of swords, had no time to dodge and was struck directly by the relentless air swords.

This strike was not something an ordinary person could withstand alone; Wan Yuxin ultimately was no match for Ye Xuan, struck by his sword energy, she died, her evil dissipated.

However, what she really couldn’t understand was why Ye Xuan was able to exert such tremendous power.  Unlike those so-called elites of the Evil Sky Sect, she had been personally guided by the sect master.

Although her cultivation was not yet complete, she should have had the ability to defend herself even against immortals.

Ye Xuan, a mere Spiritual Insight, in a duel, shouldn’t have been able to defeat her—this wasn’t a contest of sword techniques, how could someone with a lower cultivation level be stronger than someone with a higher one.

This made no sense, or rather, in the entirety of her cultivation knowledge such thing is impossible. Yet, dying at the hands of Ye Xuan, Wan Yuxin wasn’t too distressed.

In her view, this was the best outcome, because of her inherently evil nature. If she lived, given her love for Ye Xuan, she might eventually harm him.

Rather than that, it was better to die now and be done with it.

“Ah, the Saintess is dead—!!!”

“It’s impossible, he actually killed the Saintess—!!!”

“The Saintess was… even capable of fighting an immortal.”

Those black-clothed members of the Evil Sky Sect were attacking Yu Ling’er.  Although they couldn’t withstand Yu Ling’er’s onslaught, their cultivation was much stronger than hers.

If Yu Ling’er pressed them too hard, they would immediately self-destruct, which somewhat restrained her actions.

The Nine Heavens Sword Technique, although powerful, lacked long-range attack capabilities, which was indeed a weakness.

Especially when facing opponents with stronger cultivation levels, she was invariably at a disadvantage.  Under these circumstances, the battle between the two sides was evenly matched.

But since the black-clothed people still had some spare capacity, they could afford to pay attention to the battle between Ye Xuan and Wan Yuxin on the side.

However, they hadn’t expected that not looking would have been better, as what they saw gave them a shock.  Wan Yuxin had actually died at the hands of Ye Xuan.

An unknown disciple from Taihua Sect had killed the Saintess personally guided by their sect master? How could this be—!!!

The Saintess, even when facing the elders or other leaders of the Evil Sky Sect, still had the power to fight.

“This is bad, they are both too strong, retreat—!!! You guys hold them off.”

“Understood—!!!”

As one person collected a large amount of the Cleansing Stone, he turned to shout at all the black-clothed followers.

“Born into this world by my parents, I offer my flesh and bones to the Evil Sky—!”

“My life, too, I dedicate to the Evil Sky Emperor—!”

“Evil Sky Emperor above, today I offer myself for you—!!!”

Seeing that Wan Yuxin had died and the Jade Fox Palace’s grand array was safe, all the black-clothed people went mad.

Their main goal was to seize the Cleansing Stone from the Jade Fox Palace; whether the palace itself could be destroyed was of secondary importance.

Now, with Wan Yuxin dead and their forces entangled by Yu Ling’er, their mission to destroy the Jade Fox Palace had failed.  Next, they could only collect more Cleansing Stones and quickly leave the area.

Several black-clothed individuals used the force of their self-destruction to assault the hub of the grand array of the Jade Fox Palace.  Other black-clothed individuals also detonated their spiritual power, charging towards Ye Xuan.

“Ye Xuan, be careful–!!!”

At this moment, these black-clothed individuals collectively self-destructed, effectively blocking Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er’s pursuit.

Yu Ling’er immediately came to Ye Xuan’s side, forming an energy shield to protect Ye Xuan from the imminent impact.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan, seeing the black-clothed individuals carrying the Cleansing Stone escaping, could no longer afford to care about his own condition.

He was still recovering from the exertion of killing Wan Yuxin and was not yet ready to exert too much power.  Forcing himself to muster more spiritual energy, he felt as if his internal organs were being squeezed painfully by the energy.

Suddenly, Ye Xuan raised his hand to form a seal, and a rainbow of sword energy soared into the sky, leaping over the group of black-clothed individuals blocking his path, and charged towards those fleeing with the Cleansing Stone.

The black-clothed individuals felt the chilling sword energy above them, looked up, and were struck with fear.

Ye Xuan’s sword technique had triggered thousands of spiritual swords, forming a stream of swords from the sky, flying towards their heads.

“Master save us–!!!”  He wasn’t cowardly or afraid of death, it was because he was carrying the Cleansing Stone needed for the sect master’s grand plan; he couldn’t die yet.

Just as the Evil Sky Sect follower was about to die under Ye Xuan’s torrent of sword energy, a space rift opened above him.  All of Ye Xuan’s spiritual swords shot into that spatial rift in an instant.

Somewhere far away, in a secret location, a man clad in bone armor was frowning as he watched the scene unfold before him.

In front of him, a space rift opened, and countless spiritual swords, transformed into a long rainbow, attacked him.

These spiritual swords, just released by Ye Xuan, vaguely carried the power to slay immortals, and even this man couldn’t help but regard them with a solemn expression.

However, as the sword energy approached, he calmly raised his hand and gathered a stream of evil energy.  The purple-black energy formed a sinister totem seal.

Ye Xuan’s Celestial Crimson Sword all landed on that purple-black mark, clanging…

With a sound like clashing metal, the endless swords shattered, scattering across the ground.

“Celestial Crimson Sword Technique–!!!”  The man felt a tingling sensation in his hand but remained outwardly composed, internally, however, he was extremely surprised.

“Bixia that old woman was already tough enough to deal with, and now another has mastered the Celestial Crimson Sword Technique.”

“It looks like I need to accelerate the forging of the Evil Sky Sword. This Ye Xuan, daring to kill Wan Yuxin and master the Celestial Crimson Sword Technique, obstructing the grandeur of the Evil Sky. He must not be overlooked.”

“But when did Taihua Sect produce such a son of heaven… It’s really strange.”  He pondered this.

On the other side, the potentially lethal sword attack, intercepted by a sudden spatial rift, also took Ye Xuan by surprise.  The person who had acted just then must be someone of profound and unfathomable cultivation.

Otherwise, who else could tear open space under his sword?!!

Ye Xuan was merely clearing out a villainess from his own script, eliminating a hidden danger for himself, but now he had also become a hidden for the Evil Sky Sect Master.
