Chapter 740: Chapter 737 Two Choices

Within the Ascending Tower Sword Pond.

Xu Zhonglou suddenly looked up at the sky dome, frowning and said, "Isn’t flying prohibited above the Sword Pond?"

There was a black-robed youth carrying a black sword, passing through the air.

Just as Xu Zhonglou was about to issue a warning, he suddenly stopped.

"Master!?"

He saw his own master, who was also the current Sect Leader of the Sword Tomb, Yuan Kong!

"Master Chu, Master Liu, and even my grandmaster, my gosh!"

Xu Zhonglou also noticed many big shots from the Sword Tomb.

They were following the black-robed youth, heading in a certain direction.

"What’s going on?" Xu Zhonglou asked, completely bewildered.

Why are there so many strange occurrences.

"What’s wrong, Xu Daoist friend?" The Heavenly Mansion Saint, who hadn’t managed to get into the zone, upon seeing Xu Zhonglou’s strange expression, couldn’t help but ask.

"It’s nothing, carry on," Xu Zhonglou said with a wave of his hand.

"Hahaha, I did it!" At this moment, cheer came from nearby, as the Tiantong Holy Daughter hugged the famous sword White Sparrow, her face filled with joy.

Xu Zhonglou’s lips twitched slightly as he said in a gentle voice, "You didn’t just pull it straight out, did you?"

The Tiantong Holy Daughter nodded furiously like a pounding garlic, "I saw that after it returned to its original position, it didn’t seem to be inserted as deeply, so I tried to pull it out, and it really worked!"

Xu Zhonglou couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

Well, that actually worked.

I don’t think that has ever happened before.

It seems that it has a lot to do with all the swords rising earlier.

For the Tiantong Holy Daughter, it was a blessing in disguise.

"I’ll try too!" The Heavenly Mansion Saint couldn’t help but have the same idea, and went in front of the Star Fighting Divine Sword, straining to pull out the sword.

After trying for a while, the Heavenly Mansion Saint gave up and said with a gloomy face, "Why do I feel like the Star Fighting Divine Sword is inserted even deeper than before?"

Xu Zhonglou couldn’t help but shake his head and said, "Such things can only be chalked up to fate, take it easy dude."

The Heavenly Mansion Saint could only shake his head and sigh, enviously looking at his junior sister.

There was nothing to do but to continue contemplating.

Seeing this, Xu Zhonglou couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, indeed, the world was full of surprises.

In his view, the Sword Heart of the Heavenly Mansion Saint was purer than that of the Tiantong Holy Daughter, but unfortunately, the Tiantong Holy Daughter was blessed with deeper fortune and succeeded before the Heavenly Mansion Saint.

In fact, they had no idea that this was because Ye Xuan had just flown over carrying the River Soldier.

And just as the Tiantong Holy Daughter was pulling out the sword, under the influence of the River Soldier, White Sparrow flew out on its own.

While the Heavenly Mansion Saint, on the other hand, did not attempt to pull out the sword, so the Star Fighting Divine Sword was embedded even deeper.

But I digress.

Ye Xuan charged into the depths of the Sword Tomb, aiming directly for the mountain peak with the most abundant spiritual energy.

The entire mountain was straight as a sword standing erect, exuding an innate sword intent.

If a sword cultivator were to cultivate there, the results would be doubly effective.

"Knowing that you had to outlive your peers to gain your current status and power, so, you planned to enjoy it thoroughly..." Ye Xuan murmured to himself after seeing the mountain peak.

He actually found it somewhat amusing.

This so-called Ancestor Ji must have been extremely cautious and cowardly in the past, never acting rashly.

But having held a high position for so long, as the oldest ancestor in the Sword Tomb now, he became somewhat complacent.

By now, he must be full of regret.

Indeed, at this moment, the black-robed old man returned to his cave dwelling, and he indeed regretted bitterly.

He had lived a wretched life to reach this point where he became the oldest and most powerful ancestor of the Sword Tomb. But because of one wrong move made today, he lost everything.

"I need to hide!" After stabilizing his injuries, the black-robed old man decided to continue lying low.

"Hmm!?"

However, at this moment, the black-robed old man’s expression darkened, his pupils flickered rapidly, and he felt anxious, "How did this guy find where the old one is hiding!?"

"This is bad!"

"There’s no time!"

"Escape!"

The black-robed old man picked up a divine talisman and crushed it.

His figure disappeared instantly, turning into a handful of earth, hidden underneath the ground.

An Earth Escape Talisman!

"Still thinking of escaping?" Ye Xuan, up in the sky dome, immediately sensed the movement underground, took down the River Soldier, and gently shook it towards the ground.

The sword tip pointed at that stretch of land.

Boom!

In an instant, a black sword qi burst forth from the tip of River Soldier and fell to the earth.

The ground exploded violently, and a figure was blasted out from within it, bleeding profusely and moaning in pain.

Who else could it be but Ancestor Ji?

The black-robed old man was now in an extremely sorry state, hurled into the air, he did not dare to linger in the slightest and immediately took out another divine talisman, transforming into a drop of water and disappearing without a trace.

Ye Xuan’s gaze shifted lightly, falling on the nearby mountain next to the great river, as River Soldier pointed there.

Boom!

The river exploded, and another figure was blasted out.

It was still that Ancestor Ji.

The people who arrived later, including Yuan Kong, felt their scalps explode at the scene.

This was outright slaughter!

That immensely powerful elder, who had surpassed the Saint Realm, could only flee?

The most terrifying part was that it seemed he couldn’t even manage to escape!

"Damn it! Damn it all!"

"This void has been completely sealed off. How is this guy so strong!?"

At this moment, Ancestor Ji’s face couldn’t have been uglier, clouded with dark anger.

He had used the Escape Talisman twice in a row, but both attempts had been thwarted.

It seemed to be because Ye Xuan had used the River Soldier, but in reality, it was because the space itself had been completely sealed, preventing him from breaking through and only allowing him to move within this confined space.

This severely limited his mobility!

"This can’t be the power of the River Soldier. It must be man-made!" Ancestor Ji quickly surmised in his heart.

He knew this was definitely not Ye Xuan’s doing, but someone else’s.

However, apart from Ye Xuan, who else could do such a thing?

Ancestor Ji looked toward Ye Xuan’s direction.

But just then, Ancestor Ji’s expression changed drastically, his pupils constricted sharply, and he even stopped breathing for a brief two seconds.

"Revenge Lineage, Black Blade Sect!?"

What had he seen?

Looking in Ye Xuan’s direction, they saw a mysterious woman dressed in a black robe, wearing a black veil, and carrying a Black Saber.

She was quietly observing him!

"How is this possible? Why would the Black Blade Sect appear in the Sword Tomb?"

"Was a Revenge Talisman thrown into the Sword Tomb?"

Ancestor Ji was shaken to the core, scarcely able to believe it.

Ye Xuan alone was already beyond expectation, and now a person from the Black Blade Sect had appeared?!

"Why not running anymore?"

Ye Xuan looked down indifferently at the elder in the black robe, speaking unhurriedly.

Only then did Ancestor Ji come back to his senses. He looked at Ye Xuan and, grinding his teeth, said, "The old man didn’t recognize a great man when he saw one and made mistakes. I have already severed an arm, and now with grave injuries, I hope you won’t pursue this until death."

One must admit, Ancestor Ji was quick to bow his head.

Knowing that his opponent’s strength was unknown, he immediately made the best decision.

That scene truly made Yuan Kong and the others feel embarrassed.

This Ancestor Ji really had no backbone at all, completely unlike the people of their Sword Tomb.

They couldn’t help but wonder how Ancestor Ji had joined the Sword Tomb in the first place.

"With your temperament, you should have been prepared for death the moment you chose to act," said Ye Xuan, with one hand in his pocket and the other on his sword, looking at Ancestor Ji impassively.

"I can offer you two ways to die."

"One, kill yourself."

"Two, I’ll do it."

"Choose."

Ye Xuan said calmly.

Ancestor Ji’s face twisted unpleasantly. He looked at Qiao Xinyu, who stood behind Ye Xuan, with a trace of fear.

"May I know the elder’s purpose for coming to the Sword Tomb?" he quietly transmitted to Qiao Xinyu.

He needed to assess what this Black Blade Sect monster had come for.

Only after making that determination could he plan his next move.

"To watch my lord kill you," Qiao Xinyu transmitted back to Ancestor Ji.

Before his words even settled, Ancestor Ji’s face turned completely pale.

’My lord?!’

Ancestor Ji looked at Ye Xuan in disbelief. Who was this guy and what was his story?

"Die." Ye Xuan uttered the word lightly.

Ancestor Ji’s eyes suddenly widened, and bloodshot lines filled them.

"No————"

He let out a roar.

Boom!

He was engulfed in a massive explosion.

Horrifying black Sword Qi rampaged through the void.

Somehow, the Sword Qi of the River Soldier filled Ancestor Ji’s body, and at the fall of Ye Xuan’s word, Ancestor Ji died instantly.

"Ancestor Ji... is dead?"

The Sword Masters of Taiji watched the scene unfold with complicated expressions.

"Thank you, young friend, for helping our Sword Tomb to purge this cancer."

At that moment, an aged voice sounded, and an elderly man with white temples and a full vigor appeared out of nowhere, bowing to Ye Xuan with his hands folded.
