“Who are you?”
Zhao Yan was stunned when he saw a stranger standing in front of him, looking at him with a cold smile.
“How did you come here? Who let you in?”
Zhao Yan was not scared at all. Instead, he looked directly into Ye Xiao’s eyes and continued to ask questions.
However, Ye Xiao had no intention of answering him.
Seeing this, Zhao Yan frowned.
“Who the hell are you?”
Zhao Yan growled out in rage.
With a flash, Ye Xiao appeared in front of Zhao Yan and grabbed his neck before lifting him up.
Zhao Yan was shocked and then scared shitlessly. He did not expect this stranger to not only dare invade the Zhao Family but also try to kill him.
“Hey hey hey… Stop! Stop!”
Zhao Yan hurriedly spoke and tried to calm Ye Xiao. He said, “Do you even know what you are doing? Man, if you kill me, you cannot go out of here. This is the Zhao Family. You should better consider what you are doing again!”
How could Zhao Yan know that he was not trying to calm Ye Xiao, instead, his words were enough to provoke anyone in Ye Xiao’s stand.
Ye Xiao kept his calm and said, “Did you already forget? Hundreds of years ago, you destroyed an Overlord Sect in the Land of Morning Stars. Before leaving, you told everyone that if I want revenge, then let me come to the Land of Mystic Falls and look for you in the Red Moon Empire!”
“Land of Morning Stars?”
Zhao Yan frowned. He could feel Ye Xiao’s hand tightening his hand on his neck.
He was slightly confused at first, as if he had completely forgotten what he had done hundreds of years ago.
However, he soon realized and exclaimed, “You… You are that person, blessed by the Land…”
Zhao Yan was about to continue speaking but was interrupted by Ye Xiao.
“Now that you’ve remembered it, you can die!” Ye Xiao spoke, but then he suddenly thought of something and said, “You wanted to fight me when you came to the Illusionary Spirit Gate looking for me. I’ll give you a chance to fight me right now.”
As Ye Xiao spoke, he suppressed his cultivation to the Heavenly Saint Realm and spoke again, “Now, we have the same cultivation base. Let’s fight. Show me what you got.”
As Ye Xiao spoke, he took out the Infinity Edge Blade.
Right after taking out the Infinity Edge Blade, Ye Xiao suddenly accelerated. At the same time, as he slashed out the blade, the blade in his hand split into three afterimages, and directly slashed down from Zhao Yan’s left and right at the same time.
Zhao Yan’s pupils contracted. Although this move looked like three blades were attacking at once, in reality, it was only a single blade. As for the other two, they were just afterimages of his blade.
If he wants to stop Ye Xiao’s attack, he has to block the right one. If he guessed wrongly, then this attack might take his life.
Zhao Yan’s face became extremely ugly. He did not have time to panic or guess as he immediately rolled on the ground, avoiding the attack.
However, it was naturally impossible for Ye Xiao to not have made any preparations. At the same time Ye Xiao saw Zhao Yan dodge, the blade in Ye Xiao’s hand abruptly changed its trajectory; the three blade images combined into one and similarly chased after Zhao Yan.
Before Zhao Yan could get up, Ye Xiao had already arrived at’s back.
It was too late for Zhao Yan to counterattack. He could only raise his sword in a hurry to block Ye Xiao’s blade. Unfortunately, he did not know how, but he was actually sent flying by a huge force.
In that instant, Ye Xiao flashed and appeared in front of Zhao Yan once again.
Seeing this, Zhao Yan anxiously waved his sword to retaliate, but as he faced Ye Xiao’s attack, he immediately fell into a disadvantageous position.
“Bang…”
A muffled sound could be heard as Ye Xiao’s blade pierced into Zhao Yan’s left shoulder, which was near to his heart.
“You…” Zhao Yan’s eyes widened.
Boom!
Without waiting for Zhao Yan to finish speaking, Ye Xiao moved again as another explosion sounded.
Zhao Yan could not understand what just happened. In the instant Ye Xiao moved, he was sent flying once again. Two blade wounds had already appeared on his chest, and a large amount of blood was flowing out.
“No, I’m from the Zhao Family. I’m a Heavenly Saint who is about to advance and become a Chaos Overlord Saint. I can’t die yet!” Zhao Yan roared. At that moment, he felt a real threat from Ye Xiao. He even forgot that he is a Worm and would not die that easily. Even if he is cut into thousands of pieces, his body will recover in a short time and he will come back to life.
In his fear, he actually abandoned fighting Ye Xiao and started running for his life.
But, how could Ye Xiao be willing to let him go?
The instant he turned around, Ye Xiao slashed out with his Infinity Edge Blade.
However, unlike his previous attacks, Ye Xiao intended to end the battle with this attack!
“Bang…”
Zhao Yan staggered a bit, but he still fell down.
Confused, he muttered, “What happened?”
As he turned his head in confusion, his expression suddenly changed into that of horror. It is because he could see a headless corpse on the ground.
“Is that my body?” Zhao Yan thought.
Even though his head was separated from his body, he did not die.
He heard the sound of footsteps. He knew Ye Xiao was coming.
“You…”
Zhao Yan wanted to say something. But he had not even managed to say a second word when his entire body was caught in flame. It was a white flame that started corroding his physical body and devouring the essence of his soul.
He did not feel a burning sensation at all, however, the pain he was experiencing was terrible.
Zhao Yan could feel that if this White Flame continued to burn his body, his existence would be erased.
“Nooo…”
Zhao Yan shrieked in fear but this was his last cry. After that, he closed his eyes, never to open.
Just like that, Ye Xiao killed yet another Worm who happened to be his personal enemy as well.
If he wanted, he could have given Zhao Yan a terrible death by making him suffer a fate worse than death. However, he did not want to waste his time doing that, so he killed Zhao Yan the moment Zhao Yan recognized him and recalled what he had done in the Land of Morning Stars.
Ye Xiao was not done yet. After killing Zhao Yan, he enveloped the entire Zhao Family with his Divine Sense once again before throwing this entire family into fire.
In an instant, in the night sky, a towering White Flame could be seen burning the Zhao Estate. Painful screams caused people to wake up, however, sensing the direction these screams were coming from, no one dared to go out and take a look at what was happening.
In everyone’s eyes, the Zhao Family must be doing something evil yet again.
However, they were unaware that it was not the Zhao Family doing something evil, it was someone else burning the entire Zhao Family. He did not spare anyone, including those guards.
If someone tried to escape the range of the burning flame, he would kick them in again.
In less than five minutes, the entire Zhao Family was reduced to ashes. No one was left alive.
“It is time to take the next step.”
Ye Xiao took a deep breath and spread his Divine Sense, enveloping the entire Red Moon Empire.
Ye Xiao then made a special trip to the place where Zhao Yan’s father was resting.
It was a brothel.
Ye Xiao went to the brothel and got rid of Zhao Yan’s father who was also a Worm.
Zhao Yan’s father must be the most confused person to die. After all, he was playing with a few women in the brothel just a moment ago. But the next thing he saw was a light flashing before him.
Those women had somehow ended up fainting. As for him, he saw White Flame burning his body.
After getting rid of Zhao Yan’s father, Ye Xiao located thousands of Worms with the help of his Divine Sense and killed them all.
In just a single night, and that is after midnight, Worms were completely cleaned up from the Red Moon Empire. The Red Moon Empire was now free of the most evil creatures that could have destroyed the entire Land of Mystic Falls.
After doing all this, Ye Xiao returned to his room in the inn to rest for a few hours.
Tomorrow, he planned to enter the Imperial Palace and meet the Red Moon Empress!
