Chapter 1354: Chapter 1354: Do You Really Think I Can’t Kill You? (Fourth Update)
The other two also intended to flee with that person, but upon witnessing this scene, cold sweat began to trickle, and they dared not move an inch.
The red sword light finished killing the first person and slowly stopped in mid-air. Only then did the two see clearly that the red sword light was in fact a stylish longsword.
Cultivators controlling swords is nothing out of the ordinary. However, Ye Haochuan was clearly devoting himself wholeheartedly to healing Su Yingxue, without any indication of sword control.
Moreover, from the way the longsword hovered, looking around as if with control, they distinctly felt that this longsword seemed to possess thought.
What kind of expert could possibly imbue a sword with sentience?
“Spare us, senior! We know we were wrong, spare us!” The two were utterly terrified, quickly kneeling to plead for mercy.
At this moment, they did not know how many times they cursed Yang Quan. Had Yang Quan informed them about the existence of Ye Haochuan earlier, even with eighteen thousand guts, they wouldn’t dare target Ye Haochuan’s family.
“Kill!” Ye Haochuan’s blood-infused lips parted slightly, coldly uttering the word.
In his state of extreme anger and physical and mental exhaustion, he had no interest in even asking who sent these people.
Suddenly, the Divine Concealment Sword let out a reverberating hum, transforming again into a streak of red sword light, swiftly slicing the second cultivator into a lump of mangled flesh.
“Stop!”
Just as the Divine Concealment Sword was about to pierce the third person’s chest, a loud shout suddenly came from above.
The Divine Concealment Sword immediately paused, stopping half a millimeter away from the third person’s throat.
Ye Haochuan also turned to see where the voice came from and saw a small team of five or six people, led by an elder already at Nascent Soul level. The others were all Core Formation experts.
“Ye Haochuan, how dare you recklessly release perception, peeping into Xuanmen secrets, and blatantly murder fellow disciples. What crime do you deserve?” Yang Quan jumped out from the crowd, vehemently reprimanding.
Ye Haochuan coldly stared at Yang Quan, eyes filled with bloodshot threads revealing a frenzied killing intent.
Yang Quan felt his heart and liver tremble instantly, as if he had seen the Asura of Hell, unable to utter a single word.
“Haochuan, don’t be rude!” Long Xiaotian quickly landed beside Ye Haochuan, sternly shouted.
Ye Haochuan snorted coldly, ignored the crowd, and focused fully on healing Su Yingxue.
Due to Su Yingxue having no cultivation, her body could not withstand the impact of pills. Thus, throughout the healing process, Ye Haochuan was incredibly cautious.
“What exactly happened?” Zhu Chengzhou asked in a deep voice upon seeing the bodies scattered around.
The remaining Foundation Establishment cultivator, seeing Yang Quan like a savior, was about to plead for help but swallowed his words upon seeing Yang Quan’s cold gaze.
Upon Zhu Chengzhou’s questioning, intimidated by Yang Quan’s authority, he found it difficult to properly articulate.
At this moment, Yang Quan seized the opportunity to say, “Isn’t it obvious? Ye Haochuan is killing-mad, slaughtering fellow disciples!”
The Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly realized, and lamenting, pointed at Ye Haochuan, sobbing, “This murderous demon, my brothers and I did not provoke him yet he suddenly attacked, killing my brothers. He is a fiend!”
The moment these words were spoken, he suddenly seemed to even believe his own lie, tears and snot flowed rapidly, showing genuine grief.
“Nonsense, how could he kill you without cause? If you were not disrespectful from the start, why would his mother and girlfriend be here? And gravely injured at that?” Long Xiaotian furiously shouted.
“Why is Lord Long so agitated? Ye Haochuan is so crazy, perhaps he brought these two women himself.” Yang Quan said with a sinister smile.
Just as Yang Quan finished speaking, the Foundation Establishment cultivator quickly reacted, saying, “Yes, we saw him about to kill these two women earlier, he must be afraid we’d leak secrets, so he decided to kill us.”
“Stirring up trouble! How could he kill his own mother?” Long Xiaotian said furiously.
“Who knows what such a madman might do? If he were normal, who would release such extensive perception in the Imperial Capital?” sneered Yang Quan.
“Yes, Young Master Yang is right. Such a madman should be swiftly removed to prevent further harm to other cultivators!” Long Wei chimed in opportunistically.
Zhu Chengzhou’s expression was somewhat displeased, as anyone with sense would see through Yang Quan’s lie.
Due to Yang Sen’s pressure, Zhu Chengzhou couldn’t chastise Yang Quan, hence turned his head to Ye Haochuan, asking, “What do you have to say?”
Ye Haochuan didn’t reply, appearing exceptionally focused in healing Su Yingxue.
“See, he’s speechless!” Yang Quan chuckled triumphantly, saying, “Quick, arrest…”
Before he could finish the word “him”, he abruptly paused when his heart suddenly trembled. All of this occurred because Ye Haochuan abruptly stood up.
Originally, Ye Haochuan had been at a critical point in healing Su Yingxue, unable to be distracted. Now that Su Yingxue’s condition stabilized, it was time to focus on handling the current affair.
“Humph!” Ye Haochuan snorted coldly, then waved his hand vigorously.
Suddenly, within the crowd, one person groaned and slumped to the ground. This wasn’t anyone else but House Holder of the Imperial Capital Yang Family.
In the instant House Holder Yang fell, Tong Xiangxiu, who had been quiet, suddenly seemed liberated and loudly reprimanded, “Clearly these scoundrels kidnapped us, Yingxue chose to commit suicide to avoid their humiliation. How dare you distort facts and frame my son?”
The others now understood that Tong Xiangxiu had been suppressed by House Holder Yang’s authority, preventing her from speaking, making them neglect this direct party.
While looking down on House Holder Yang, they were also in awe of Ye Haochuan’s strength. Even a Core Formation Late Stage cultivator like him was injured by Ye Haochuan so effortlessly.
“Young Master Yang, what more can you say?” Long Xiaotian seized the moment to coldly challenge Yang Quan.
Everyone, including Zhu Chengzhou, turned their focus towards Yang Quan.
Yang Quan froze briefly but soon steadied himself, snorted coldly, and said, “This woman is his mother, no matter how serious the son’s mistake, a mother would naturally cover for him. Her words are not credible!”
“You’re lying!” Tong Xiangxiu exclaimed urgently.
However, her words were barely out when the Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly declared, “Wrong, I saw wrong earlier. It wasn’t this guy trying to kill the two women but this guy and this woman intending to kill the woman on the ground. They were accomplices from the start!”
Yang Quan was annoyed that this cultivator wasn’t reduced to silence, but didn’t expect him to be so astute.
Yang Quan gave an approving glance to the cultivator and quickly followed up, “Both sides have valid arguments. Who knows if what this woman says is true?”
“You…” Tong Xiangxiu turned red with anger, wishing she could rush over to strangle the deceitful Yang Quan.
Ye Haochuan comforted Tong Xiangxiu with his gaze, then turned his head to the Foundation Establishment cultivator and said coldly, “Do you really think, with that Yang here, I can’t kill you?”
