The members of Dragon Tiger Gate watched with amusement as if they were cats playing with mice.
At this moment, among the group surrounded, there were only two Dao Ancestors, while they numbered over twenty, led by the Grand Elder. It was a sure thing, at least in their eyes.
"Such an arrogant brat."
The Grand Elder of Dragon Tiger Gate narrowed his eyes. He had never felt so humiliated. Therefore, only by taking this brat's life could he alleviate even a fraction of his rage.
Of course, he had no idea what kind of being stood before him. If he knew that Ye Xuan was now a ninth-tier Dao Ancestor, who knew what his reaction would be. He likely wouldn't dare to put on such a clownish display even if given ten more lives.
"Grand Elder, please stand aside and observe. Let me cripple this brat!"
A fifth-tier Dao Ancestor from Dragon Tiger Gate curled his lips into a cruel arc, his unkind gaze falling on Ye Xuan. Now was an excellent opportunity to gain the Grand Elder's favor, and he would not let it pass.
"Oh."
"Then I shall trouble Elder Twenty."
The Grand Elder of Dragon Tiger Gate curled his lips, naturally aware of Elder Twenty's intentions, but he didn't mind. The other Dao Ancestor powerhouses from Dragon Tiger Gate nearby all lamented their missed opportunity.
If only they had acted before Elder Twenty!
"Brat!"
Subsequently, Elder Twenty of Dragon Tiger Gate's eyes flashed with ferocity, and ruthlessness was evident on his face, "Be wise in your next life!"
*Chiiii~*
Without further ado, Elder Twenty of Dragon Tiger Gate flickered, leaving afterimages in the air. In an instant, he thrust his sword towards Ye Xuan's chest. His fifth-tier Dao Ancestor aura was unleashed, coupled with a desperate strike. If this hit, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal descending to earth would be powerless to recover.
*Boom!!!*
However, before Elder Twenty of Dragon Tiger Gate could even get close, he was sent flying with a single slap. In the next moment, he appeared tens of feet away, then transformed into a cold corpse, crashing onto the ground with a dull thud.
"What!!"
Such a scene terrified everyone from Dragon Tiger Gate, including the Grand Elder, whose brows furrowed, "Hmph!"
Soon, a figure appeared in the center of the arena. However, this figure was not Ji Xuanyuan, but Ji Changkong, who was now at the peak of the ninth-tier Dao Ancestor realm.
It was perfectly normal for him to be able to slap Elder Twenty of Dragon Tiger Gate to death with a single palm.
"Who are you!"
The Grand Elder of Dragon Tiger Gate looked at the approaching figure with caution, his intuition telling him that this person was very strong.
"You dare to attack our Xuan Alliance leader and still ask who I am?"
The morale of the Dragon Tiger Gate members plummeted. It was clear they realized that the young man they had initially disregarded was not as simple as they had imagined.
"They're with him!"
"Attack together, kill them all!!"
The Grand Elder of Dragon Tiger Gate suppressed the unease in his heart and immediately ordered all the Dao Ancestor powerhouses to attack Ji Changkong, while he himself took the lead.
"Heh, truly audacious."
Seeing the suicidal actions of the Dragon Tiger Gate members, Ji Changkong curled his lips. Since breaking through to the peak of the ninth-tier Dao Ancestor, he hadn't yet sparred with anyone. The single palm strike that killed the fifth-tier Dao Ancestor just moments ago was merely a warm-up.
"In that case, come then."
Subsequently, Ji Changkong unleashed his full aura, and in an instant, the pressure of a ninth-tier Dao Ancestor peak rippled outwards. He then flipped his right hand, and Ji Changkong held a top-grade immortal artifact, passing through the Dragon Tiger Gate powerhouses as if piercing through space.
*Puff~*
*Puff puff puff~~*
In the next moment, the pupils of all the Dragon Tiger Gate powerhouses widened in unison, followed by gushing blood. Everyone was killed with a single, fatal blow, falling to the ground with thuds.
Only the Grand Elder of Dragon Tiger Gate, with immense difficulty and disbelief, turned to look at Ji Changkong, his eyes bulging to the extreme, "Peak of the ninth-tier Dao Ancestor realm, you... how is this possible!!"
*Puff~*
Next, blood splattered from his chest, and terrifying sword energy instantly ground his internal organs into nothingness. This Grand Elder of Dragon Tiger Gate, a first-rate force of the Haotian Immortal Kingdom, thus ended his life.
Peak ninth-tier Dao Ancestor!
This was a joke. This level of power was equivalent to the strongest ancestor of their Dragon Tiger Gate. That brat... just who was he, to have such a formidable expert protecting him??
And so, the Grand Elder of Dragon Tiger Gate perished on the spot, with questions lingering in his mind!
"Hiss~~"
Yu Hongyu gasped, "Good heavens... truly formidable!"
"However, although this person is at the peak of the ninth-tier Dao Ancestor, he feels even more powerful than the peak ninth-tier Dao Ancestor masters of the Demonic Sect."
But then, Yu Hongyu produced over twenty spatial rings, and with a showy flourish, approached Ye Xuan, "Hey, Master, here you go. These are their spatial rings."
It was clear that Yu Hongyu's "Sleight of Hand" was envied by everyone. Her methods were truly mysterious, as no one had seen how she acted from beginning to end.
"Junior Sister is quite perceptive."
Mo Xuanyou looked at his peerlessly beautiful junior sister and murmured with a curve of his lips.
Upon hearing Mo Xuanyou's words, Dongfang Qingkong and Bing Xiaoxue exchanged glances, clearly agreeing with their third senior brother.
"By the way, Alliance Leader."
Ji Changkong seemed to recall something and looked at Ye Xuan, then continued, "About fifteen minutes ago, about a hundred kilometers away, in a cave dwelling, I saw quite a few ninth-tier Dao Ancestor powerhouses gathered there. I vaguely heard that they had discovered something extraordinary. Should we go take a look?"
"Oh?"
Hearing Ji Changkong's words, Ye Xuan was taken aback. The Cangyu Secret Realm was far stronger than the previous Galaxy Secret Realm. The opportunities here were bound to be far beyond what the Galaxy Secret Realm offered.
Even though he didn't know what treasure it was, the fact that it attracted the attention of so many ninth-tier Dao Ancestor powerhouses spoke volumes!
"Since we have nothing else to do, let's go have a look."
Ye Xuan naturally would not let such a great opportunity pass him by. Soon, led by Ji Changkong, the group arrived at the place where many top-tier Dao Ancestor realm experts were gathered.
"Wow, so many powerhouses!"
"Hehe, it's time for Sleight of Hand to show its might~~"
Yu Hongyu looked at the scene before her, her beautiful eyes filled with little stars. Mo Xuanyou and Dongfang Qingkong twitched their mouths upon hearing this. My goodness, was this junior sister serious? Didn't she see that the weakest person in the arena was at least a fifth-tier Dao Ancestor? Among them, there were dozens of powerhouses beyond the ninth-tier Dao Ancestor realm.
Damn it, I wonder what is inside this cave dwelling!
Ye Xuan looked at the many powerhouses and then, with a smile, said to Yu Hongyu, "Go all out later, I'll assist you with my spatial-temporal power."
"Really~"
Hearing her master's words, the excited Yu Hongyu's beautiful eyes sparkled even more intensely. "Master, you are so cool!"
Ji Changkong was astonished by the conversation between the master and disciple. My heavens, the Alliance Leader... is planning to rob everyone in the arena?
"Presumptuous!"
Just then, a majestic and domineering voice echoed from the depths of the cave dwelling. In the next moment, a dense, pervasive spear intent forced many Dao Ancestor powerhouses to retreat repeatedly. In the next moment, a phantom spear radiating immense killing intent appeared in the center of the arena.
Ye Xuan looked at the phantom spear in the arena and was stunned, "Good heavens, what is this phantom spear? It seems... very powerful."
