318 The Vengeful Ones Came Knocking
Soon, A’tian returned, but he was not alone.

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. A’tian’s face was pale and he looked hesitant. His body was trembling uncontrollably, and there was a lot of blood in the corner of his mouth. From the aura on his body, he was most likely injured.

When he saw Ye Xuan from afar, he suddenly shouted, “Quickly run!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind hit his back. A’tian spat out a large mouthful of blood and staggered a few steps before falling to the ground.

“This kid is really despicable. He didn’t learn his lesson at all.”

!!
Ye Xuan was extremely familiar with this voice. It was Zhao Huaifeng. His face was gloomy and vicious, and he clearly had ill intentions.

“I told you to not let me catch you in the future. Otherwise, you won’t be as lucky as last time.”

Zhao Huaifeng was really a vengeful person. The matter of the multicolored ferocious tiger had always been on his mind. Ye Xuan had wondered when the former would come looking for him, but he didn’t expect it to be so soon.

“This time, I wonder if there’s another person like Xiao Mingyan who will stand up for you!”

Zhao Huaifeng laughed smugly at the thought that the two people who had offended him would be in trouble.

“You brat, you actually went to the Xiao Manor to look for him. This guy used to show off his strength, but now he can’t even protect himself. He has become a cripple and was abandoned by the Xiao clan. Don’t worry, he probably doesn’t have long to live. Soon, he will be able to follow you to the afterlife and keep you company. You two won’t be lonely on the road to the underworld.”

The information that Zhao Huaifeng revealed shocked Ye Xuan.

“What do you mean by that? Didn’t he go berserk while cultivating?”

Logically speaking, even if Xiao Mingyan’s condition wasn’t too good, he had been nurtured by the Xiao clan for so long, and he was also the eldest young master. No matter how Ye Xuan considered the matter, Xiao Mingyan shouldn’t have been abandoned by his clan so quickly.

Zhao Huaifeng obviously didn’t want to waste any more time with Ye Xuan. He said, “You can ask the King of Hell these questions. He’ll give you your answers.”

Swoosh!

A sword was unsheathed loudly. Immediately, a strong wind blew and the temperature seemed to drop. Countless leaves fell. The seemingly unremarkable leaves were filled with endless killing intent.

Zhao Huaifeng’s figure moved at a speed that was hard to follow with the naked eye. His sword Qi seemed to condense into a physical form as it stabbed towards Ye Xuan with lightning speed. In Zhao Huaifeng’s eyes, Ye Xuan was already a dead man.

Suddenly, his eyes widened in surprise.

Ye Xuan was actually faster than him, like a ghost or a gust of wind. No one managed to see Ye Xuan’s attack.

Zhao Huaifeng’s attack missed its mark. Ye Xuan was nowhere to be seen. Zhao Huaifeng’s expression changed slightly, and he cursed internally. However, a ghostly voice came from behind him.

“You’re not fit to use a sword.”

As if he was facing a great enemy, Zhao Huaifeng turned around and was about to stab his opponent. However, he only felt a numb sensation between his thumb and forefinger. His sword was no longer in his hand.

Zhao Huaifeng searched around and noticed that Ye Xuan was standing nearby, holding his sword in his hand. The latter’s eyes revealed a look of admiration.

The sword had a spirit, and after leaving its master, it buzzed non-stop. However, after sensing the unfathomable aura emanating from Ye Xuan, it calmed down.

Ye Xuan exclaimed, “It’s a good sword, but it’s a pity that its master isn’t that good. It’s really a waste.”

Looking at his empty palm, Zhao Huaifeng turned pale due to shock. He was about to raise his hand, but this time, not only his purlicue, but his arm also became numb and painful.

He felt as if he had been crushed by a huge force. All his meridians were broken, and he couldn’t exert any strength at all. At this moment, Zhao Huaifeng couldn’t even move, let alone hold a sword.

The people around him saw that something was wrong with him and quickly went forward to support him.

Zhao Huaifeng felt that his arm was crippled. His face was filled with horror as he asked, “What did you do to me?”

Ye Xuan smiled faintly and replied, “You wanted to kill me just now. It’s only fair for me to cripple your arm, right?”

He was just returning the favor. Just now, it would have been easy for him to take Zhao Huaifeng’s life.

Ye Xuan had spared him to ask him something. Moreover, the Zhao clan had high status in Jade City. Ye Xuan didn’t want to cause any more trouble than he needed to.

Zhao Huaifeng’s face was as white as a sheet. Apart from the pain in his arm, he was also terrified. He was the future heir of the Zhao clan. One could imagine what it would mean if his arm was crippled.

“The Zhao clan will remember this!”

Zhao Huaifeng’s eyes were about to pop out from their sockets, and he even wanted to kill Ye Xuan.

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew, and Ye Xuan was already in front of him. No one saw his movements clearly, let alone tried to stop him.

The sword’s edge was only half an inch away from Zhao Huaifeng’s neck. If it was just a little closer, his head would have been cut off. Zhao Huaifeng was so scared that he didn’t even dare to breathe.

“Even now, you’re still so stubborn. I wonder if your neck is as tough as your act.”

Zhao Huaifeng’s expression was extremely ugly. He had never been threatened like this in his entire life. A sword was against his neck. His cultivation level was not bad to begin with, and with the Zhao clan’s status in Jade City, no one dared to offend him.

He didn’t expect to encounter a freak like Ye Xuan.

“What do you want?” Zhao Huaifeng asked carefully. “Everything is on the table. If you actually kill me, there won’t be any benefits for you and our Zhao clan won’t let this go.”

There was no longer any hostility and ruthlessness in his words. Instead, there was an indescribable caution and flattery.

Ye Xuan nodded in satisfaction. He teased, “It seems that you can be reasoned with.”

Zhao Huaifeng was livid, his face sullen like a palette. Considering that his life was in Ye Xuan’s hands, he could only swallow his anger.

Otherwise, he was really worried that Ye Xuan would take his life without a care.
