Chapter 420 - 419 Monster......

Chapter 420: Chapter 419 Monster......

"You bring it back when you’re told to bring it back, what’s with all the nonsense?"

The bald brute from the Seven Killings Sect suddenly became aggressive.

Boom!

Almost instantaneously, the bald brute charged towards Ye Xuan.

The terrifying explosive power twisted the void in an instant!

A strange sonic boom rang out, piercing the eardrums.

Leng Hongmi and the others hadn’t even reacted before the bald brute from the Seven Killings Sect was already upon them, sending shivers down their spines!

Black Tiger Elder and the Daoist from Qingliu Mountain narrowed their eyes, closely watching Ye Xuan.

They had anticipated this scene long ago.

When Ye Xuan hadn’t left any other traps on Le Hongbo and the others, they had already foreseen all of this.

Without Qu Zhongyuan’s deterrence, what was there to fear?

Before, it was because Qu Zhongyuan might take action against them at any moment.

But now, it was clear that Qu Zhongyuan would not intervene; he was merely an onlooker, so naturally, they would not miss this opportunity!

After all, the cultivation resources that Ye Xuan had asked them for were all valuable treasures.

If they were auctioned off, they would definitely fetch a high price.

Though the sects behind them were vast, casually taking out so many valuable items was quite painful.

Now was the best opportunity to take them back!

Hum————

However, at that critical moment, a mysterious light suddenly floated in front of Ye Xuan, shielding him completely.

"An Array?"

At the sight of that mysterious light, everyone was dumbfounded.

Qu Zhongyuan squinted slightly, a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Ye Xuan indeed had other tricks up his sleeve.

But this alone was far from enough.

Qu Zhongyuan was in no hurry to make a move and continued to wait.

He wanted to see if Ye Xuan had any more tricks.

"Hmm?"

The bald brute from the Seven Killings Sect who had attacked clearly hadn’t expected Ye Xuan to suddenly activate the power of an Array, and was somewhat surprised.

Hum————

Just then, Ye Xuan reached out with his right hand, lightly tapping the void with his index finger, causing ripples to spread.

From the distant horizon, a dark hand appeared in a flash.

Boom!

In that instant, darkness descended, grabbing the bald brute from the Seven Killings Sect and squeezing him fiercely.

With a snap, he burst like a popped kernel.

The bald brute was crushed into a pulp, dead beyond a doubt.

And in the moment the bald brute died, the dark hand vanished without a trace.

As if it had never appeared.

A wind of awe swept through in the silence, accompanied by a strong stench of blood.

At that moment, everyone finally snapped out of their shock.

"He’s dead?!"

Black Tiger Elder and the Daoist from Qingliu Mountain were dumbfounded.

Le Hongbo and the others were dumbfounded as well.

Leng Hongmi and Ruan Mengyue stared in disbelief.

Qu Zhongyuan’s pupils shrank dramatically, his heart skipped a beat, and he stared at Ye Xuan who remained ever so calm, his mind filled with turbulent waves.

At that moment,

Qu Zhongyuan understood why Ye Xuan had been calm from start to finish.

Ye Xuan still held such an ace up his sleeve!

It was beyond his wildest imagination.

The bald brute from the Seven Killings Sect was also incredibly powerful.

No one had expected him to be crushed to death in an instant.

His death was so easy.

So quick.

So... worthless.

Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm as he turned to the Black Tiger Elder and the Daoist from Qingliu Mountain, speaking slowly, "I just remembered, there were indeed some issues with the trade."

Instantly, Black Tiger Elder and the Daoist from Qingliu Mountain came to their senses, their bodies breaking out in goosebumps, eyes filled with horror.

The death of that bald brute from the Seven Killings Sect made them fully aware of just how terrifying this Chief Disciple of the Emperor Immortal Sect was!

His wit was almost demonic!

Absolute monstrosity!

So terrifying!

"I don’t know, I don’t know what the problem is," even the Black Tiger Elder was shaking as he spoke.

Ye Xuan revealed a radiant smile and said gently, "Naturally, it’s because half the goods are still missing."

"What?!" The Black Tiger Elder and the Daoist from Qingliu Mountain’s faces changed.

Half the goods were missing?

How is that possible, they just stuffed quite a few Spirit Stones into it.

But almost immediately, they all understood—Ye Xuan was jacking up the price on the spot!

Subconsciously, they wanted to refuse, but the death of that bald brute from the Seven Killings Sect sent shivers down their spines.

Could they even refuse?

Why did it feel like if they refused, none of them would leave alive today!

With this thought, they could only grit their teeth and say, "So it is, once we return, we will prepare the items at the first opportunity and have someone deliver them to Young Master Ye Xuan."

At this moment, their hearts were bleeding.

It was already extremely painful to have offered so much.

And now, because of this affair, they are forced to take another hit.

This is truly like swallowing broken teeth into one’s belly.

They are in agony, unable to voice their pain.

"You two, go back immediately and have someone send the items over," Ye Xuan said lightly, looking at Peng Cangfeng’s other companion from the Seven Killings Sect.

Both of them now had ashen faces, pallid and filled with terror in their eyes.

The one who just perished was the Third Elder of their Seven Killings Sect, an incomparably powerful figure.

But just moments ago, he had been instantly killed!

The shock to them was indescribably massive.

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, they finally snapped back to reality, their expressions filled with fear.

This guy was simply a devil.

They wanted to roar, to bellow, to spout threats.

And then...

They obediently nodded in agreement.

"Okay, okay..."

For crying out loud, with the Elder dead, any fierce words from them would be suicidal, wouldn’t they?!

At this moment, they were completely awake, this Ye Xuan must not be provoked!

"Go," Ye Xuan said with a slight smile, waving his hand.

"Eh?!"

Elder Heihu and the others were somewhat stunned.

Was Ye Xuan just letting them go?

Was he not afraid that, once they got back, they would go back on their word?

However, even with countless doubts in their minds, they didn’t dare to linger and left the place as quickly as they could.

"Young Master Ye Xuan, until we meet again!"

They didn’t forget to bid farewell.

But before their voices hit the ground, their figures had completely vanished.

In the blink of an eye, they had fled so fast, it could be considered first-class.

Moments later, only Qu Zhongyuan, Leng Hongmi, and Ruan Mengyue from the Red Sparrow Institute were left standing in the same place.

Leng Hongmi and Ruan Mengyue were still somewhat slow to react.

The rapid changes of the scene had indeed caught them off guard.

"You shouldn’t have let them go," Qu Zhongyuan finally opened his mouth to say: "Once they leave, your deterrent power will wane, and they won’t fulfill their promises."

"The best course of action just now was to have someone from among them stay again, then have them bring back the goods before letting them go."

"That would have been the best conclusion," Qu Zhongyuan spoke unhurriedly.

His words stunned both Ruan Mengyue and Leng Hongmi.

Why is Uncle Qu still teaching Ye Xuan these things?!

Isn’t this malevolent?

Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze, looked at Qu Zhongyuan with a faint smile, and said, "Do you believe that even if I don’t threaten them, they will still obediently hand over those items after a while?"

"Oh?" Qu Zhongyuan expressed interest.

Yet Ye Xuan had no intention of explaining further and lightly said, "Stop testing me, I won’t join the Red Sparrow Institute."

"Also, keep your people in line and don’t bother me."

"Sometimes, I may not be human."

Ye Xuan spread a grin, showing a row of ghastly white teeth.

Somehow, Ye Xuan’s current smile, though seemingly harmless, also resembled that of a monster choosing its prey, as if it wanted to eradicate all living beings.

That smile made Leng Hongmi and Ruan Mengyue shiver.

And for Qu Zhongyuan, it was as if he found himself in a world of despair.

The person before him was no longer Ye Xuan.

It was the most terrible monster in the world, about to devour him whole!

In that instant, Qu Zhongyuan felt as if his vitality had been stripped away, as if he had already died.

It was not until much later that Qu Zhongyuan came back to his senses.

And by then, it was already dark.

Next to him, Leng Hongmi and Ruan Mengyue were already panicked, their faces pale.

And Ye Xuan had long since disappeared.

Qu Zhongyuan looked at Wan’an City, glittering with countless lights, and felt a chill from head to toe.

"This person..."

"Is definitely a monster!"
