“Die, you bastard!”
After throwing Ye Xiao in the air and making sure that Ye Xiao was thrown out of some sort of range, that man smiled ferociously and self-destructed.
“BOOM!”
“Nooo…”
The creature from the Naga Race with the body of a half-human and half-snake screamed in despair, but there was no medicine to help him out. He was blasted into smithereens because of that man’s self-destruction.
Devastated, Ye Xiao cried out, “No, Mr. Zhan!”
Not just Mr. Zhan, Ye Xiao noticed another person on the battlefield down below. This person was a red-haired beautiful girl. Her hair was small, but something was off about her hair. Those strands of hair on her head seemed to be alive.
Ye Xiao balanced himself in midair. From there, he saw the red-haired girl glimpsing at him. Her eyes were emotionless.
As if seeing that Ye Xiao was also looking at her, she parted her lips before charging into battle without looking back, and then “BOOM”, she also self-destructed, resulting in an explosion that swept over a huge area of the battlefield, killing dozens of powerful enemies in an instant.
Ye Xiao’s eyes were filled with tears, self-blame, hatred, anger, and many such emotions.
He clearly read what the red-haired girl spoke before she ran into the battlefield and exploded. She spoke only two words: Avenge us!
Ye Xiao clenched his fist tightly, to the point where nails stabbed into his flesh and blood dripped down.
At this moment, cold voices were echoing in the sky, “The Starfall Void Sect dares to go against the Hall of Celestial Secrets by stealing Celestial Glory Blade. On top of that, you dare to protect that thief. This sect shall be destroyed.”
Ye Xiao tried to look for the source of the voice, but he could not see anyone.
The massacre was still ongoing.
“Bastard!” Someone from the Starfall Void Sect cursed loudly, “You bastards from the Hall of Celestial Secrets, do you really think you are invincible? There will come a day when you’ll get annihilated.”
“As for the Celestial Glory Blade, this blade was obtained by a disciple of my Starfall Void Sect from a Fragmented Realm. How dare you say my sect’s disciple stole this blade. You bastards…”
Before he could complete his words, a red light flashed in the sky and manifested into a giant axe. That axe came spinning, cleaving down, and immediately separated that person’s head from his neck.
“Elder Fu!”
When Ye Xiao saw this scene, he felt something in his heart-shattering. He wanted nothing more than to go and participated in the battle, kill every damn enemy.
At this time, somebody laughed loudly. “Today, all the masters and disciples here will be annihilated!”
“Fuckers!” Ye Xiao cursed and was about to go and fight a hundred rounds with that person when someone grabbed his arm.
“Where do you think you are going?”
A cold voice rang in his ears. He turned, only to see a lady who used to be beautiful, but now half of her face was unrecognizable. Not only half of her face, but half of her body was now useless. It was burned to the point where ashes were falling from her body to the ground. A malodorous smell was coming from her body.
It was unknown how she was even able to fly high in the air and come to him.
That lady looked at Ye Xiao and said, “You are a genius who is almost impossible to appear. I will open a portal by sacrificing my remaining blood and life essence. You should escape as soon as possible.”
“No, I…”
Before Ye Xiao could even say what he wanted to speak, that lady cut off his speech and continued, “Say no more. Just escape. When you grow stronger, remember to avenge us, our sect. Just don’t forget that Starfall Void Sect used to be your home.”
After saying this, she immediately performed a secret technique, consuming her remaining blood essence and life essence, opening a small portal, enough for Ye Xiao to escape.
“Stop them. Don’t let anyone escape!”
Someone noticed their movements and immediately, attracted everyone’s attention.
An army of powerful experts immediately rushed towards Ye Xiao and that half-burned lady.
At this time, someone sneered in the sky and the same voice as the previous one reverberated, “The Starfall Void Sect has no choice except to fight until death. No one could escape today. But I’ll still give you a chance.”
As he spoke, red chains came swarming. These chains actually wrapped around the portal and sealed it completely. If someone wanted to use this portal, they had to first shatter the chains which was clearly impossible.
At this time, people Ye Xiao knew and didn’t know appeared one after another in the sky, on the ground, and above the buildings and mountains of Starfall Void Sect.
Ye Xiao and the half-burned lady were completely surrounded by enemies.
The already terrifying battle became world-shattering the next instant when all the experts of Starfall Void Sect came out and started a new round of battle, just to give Ye Xiao, who was still hesitating for some unknown reason, a chance to escape.
A rain of blood was dropping from the gray sky amidst the deafening noises and explosions.
Ye Xiao felt that he was a tiny and thin fog amidst a surging ocean of clouds.
There was fire everywhere. He couldn’t even see the people’s faces. Several experts exploded to kill enemies, several experts died willingly just to make sure Ye Xiao could escape safely.
Even the half-burned lady, who had already burned everything that was keeping her alive, was looking out for Ye Xiao so that no enemy sneak attack them.
“Ling Xiaolong, I have only ten breaths left. Hurry up and escape.”
Ye Xiao breathed deeply, took a last look at the dying lady, and spoke, “I swear upon my cultivation, my soul, and this Chaos that I will avenge everyone someday!”
Hearing what Ye Xiao spoke, a smile finally appeared on that lady’s face, and she closed her eyes forever.
Even though Ye Xiao did not escape in her presence, she knew that Ye Xiao would definitely escape since he had already sworn to avenge them.
And Ye Xiao did that.
He looked at the sealed portal and suddenly vanished, appearing on the other side of the portal.
“Hmm?” A deep voice filled with confusion echoed in the sky, and then someone muttered, “I didn’t expect him to comprehend the Profound Truth of Space so deeply. He actually swapped the position of space where he was standing to a spot on the other side of the portal. On the surface, it is as if he had teleported, but in reality, he swapped the position of space itself.”
The owner of that voice was deeply shocked at what Ye Xiao achieved. He soon came back to his senses from the state of astonishment and shouted at his people, “Shadow Squad, hunt down that thief. Came back only with his corpse. Don’t you dare to come back empty-handed?”
As he spoke, the chains on the portal shattered into fragments of red energy and disappeared.
A group of people immediately appeared in front of the portal and started entering the portal.
On the other hand, Ye Xiao started to run for his life. 𝓭ℴ𝓋.𝒸ℴ𝓶
As he was running, his heart was deeply drowned in sadness and guilt. He held himself accountable for everything that happened to the Starfall Void Sect and the people of that sect.
His heart was very heavy.
“Ahhhh!”
It was at this time, he felt a heavy blow on his body and his entire body cracked. Ye Xiao screamed in pain and his eyes blurred.
When everything was clear again, he found himself standing in front of Gravity Source Crystal. He was no longer in the form of Endless Blade Oceanic Turtle. Instead, he was in his human form.
His body was now filled with cracks.
He was woken up all of a sudden because of these cracks that brought him immense pain.
To his shock, he had already covered the last remaining seven steps.
As far as Ye Xiao could remember, he had only taken the first step when the scenery in front of him changed and he experienced something that was both familiar and unfamiliar. That experience also brought an ocean of guilt and self-blame that was constantly attacking his heart.
“Phuu!”
Ye Xiao took a deep breath and let the breath out. He repeated this a few times before he was able to calm down.
“Life Recovery!”
Along with Life Recovery ability, Ye Xiao also swallowed several hundred drops of Morning Brilliance Dew at once.
This caused soft and comfortable waves of energy to surge inside his body, running down from his head to toe. All the cracks were healed in an instant.
It was also at this time Ye Xiao noticed that he no longer was feeling any gravity. The gravity has already returned to normal at some point in time.
