Chapter 848: Chapter 0848: The Scent of Death

Ye Xunhuan had never thought that he could use the protective energy to block Yuan Ming’s ferocious and sharp sword!

What he wanted was just to stall Yuan Ming momentarily so that he could strike unexpectedly, delivering a fierce blow to Yuan Ming!

Upon seeing the sharp longsword suddenly appearing in Ye Xunhuan’s hand, Yuan Ming’s expression changed drastically, almost instinctively retreating to the side!

But Yuan Ming had underestimated Ye Xunhuan’s speed!

"Swoosh!"

The sharp longsword, like a galaxy from the heavens, emitted a dazzling light, striking rapidly towards Yuan Ming!

With one slash, the fierce Sword Qi, like horses galloping across the plains, charged ferociously at Yuan Ming.

"Puchi!"

"Puchi!"

The piercing Sword Qi tore through Yuan Ming’s clothes, leaving several fine wounds on his body.

Yuan Ming looked down at the wounds on his body, his expression immediately turned icy cold, and his gaze towards Ye Xunhuan was filled with unprecedented ruthlessness!

Ye Xunhuan completely ignored Yuan Ming’s ruthless gaze, and said indifferently, "You dodged quite quickly!"

"It seems I have indeed underestimated you!"

"It’s you who overestimated yourself, thinking you could hurt me like this!" Ye Xunhuan said nonchalantly, "Don’t you know that haste makes waste can easily lead to death?"

Yuan Ming did not speak, his face grim as he stared at Ye Xunhuan. Although he was reluctant to admit what Ye Xunhuan said, he had to acknowledge that Ye Xunhuan was right.

He had indeed been too hasty, otherwise if he had fought Ye Xunhuan with a normal mindset, Ye Xunhuan might not have been able to hurt him.

But now, it was too late to say anything as he had already suffered a disadvantage!

"Impatience won’t get you hot tofu, of course, if you’re not afraid of burning your mouth, you’re welcome to try!"

Yuan Ming snorted coldly, "Don’t be too pleased with yourself, such minor injuries mean nothing to me!"

"I never said they meant much," Ye Xunhuan replied lightly, "but there will be more coming up!"

Saying this, Ye Xunhuan propelled himself off the ground as if he had springs attached to his feet, shooting forward rapidly, his sharp sword swiftly thrusting towards Yuan Ming.

Facing Ye Xunhuan’s attack, Yuan Ming dared not be negligent, having already suffered from his carelessness in Ye Xunhuan’s hands.

The phrase ’once bitten, twice shy’ was something he knew well.

And at this moment, Yuan Ming also knew that Ye Xunhuan’s combat experience was extremely rich, so much so that it could be described as seasoned!

If he continued to underestimate Ye Xunhuan, he would likely suffer again.

Therefore, Yuan Ming was absolutely not going to be negligent at this moment.

In this instant, Ye Xunhuan was like an arrow shot from a sunset bow, swiftly appearing in front of Yuan Ming, and his blade in hand was like a drill bit, rapidly piercing towards Yuan Ming’s chest!

This sword seemed to completely pierce through Yuan Ming’s body on the spot!

Facing Ye Xunhuan’s thunderous sword, Yuan Ming hurriedly retreated, his blade emitting an eerie crimson glow swiftly chopping down towards Ye Xunhuan!

"Clang!"

The two blades collided, immediately producing a crisp sound followed by sparks flying.

"Swoosh!"

The next moment, the two blades instantly parted, their bearers swiftly wielding several consecutive strikes!

In almost the blink of an eye, both had unleashed over a dozen strokes, the crisp sounds continuously ringing around them!

At this moment, both Ye Xunhuan and Yuan Ming were like wraith-like shadows, elusive and unpredictable, with only the cold gleam of their blades whistling like lightning, and the crisp sounds echoing, making it impossible to capture their figures!

"Boom!"

Suddenly, an explosion akin to muffled thunder erupted, and immediately Ye Xunhuan and Yuan Ming were forced apart, uncontrollably retreating backwards.

At this moment, the dense weeds appeared as if they had been thoroughly cleared, and even the ground showed various sizes of cracks!

From this, one could see how terrifying their previous fight was.

After steadying themselves, they locked eyes, their faces filled with seriousness.

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan finally understood why the Dragon Head had warned him not to confront the people of Shu Mountain directly.

If Yuan Ming’s power could be placed in the underworld, Ye Xunhuan could not guarantee that he would be one of the top ten overlords, but he would definitely be among the strongest just below them!

Even the top ten overlords would find it not so simple to kill him.

How many people like Yuan Ming does a thousand-year-old sect like Shu Mountain have?

Ye Xunhuan didn’t know.

But he did know why people from the underworld dared to run rampant everywhere, and why few dared to cause trouble in Huaxia.

It’s not that they didn’t want to come, but they didn’t dare; if they angered these ancient martial sects of Huaxia, being killed by dispatched experts was a matter of minutes!

Better to go somewhere else, where you can run if you can’t beat them!

"I really didn’t expect that at such a young age, you actually possess the power of an extreme heavenly realm!" Yuan Ming said seriously while staring at Ye Xunhuan: "If you are given time to grow, then you could very likely become one of ’those people’!"

Those people?

Ye Xunhuan slightly frowned.

Who are those people, and what is this old fellow hinting at?

"Who are you talking about?"

"You don’t know?" Yuan Ming suddenly widened his eyes, his serious face showing a hint of surprise at this moment.

"Nonsense, if I knew, would I bother asking you?" Ye Xunhuan said somewhat irritably.

I didn’t hurt this old man, so why has his brain suddenly stopped working?

"Since you don’t know, then it’s inconvenient for me to say anything!"

Ye Xunhuan was suddenly choked with frustration; if you’re not going to say it, why did you bring it up?

"However, making an enemy of you is not a wise move for us Shu Mountain!" Yuan Ming said seriously to Ye Xunhuan!

"What, you regret it now?"

"Regret?" Yuan Ming sneered, "It’s not to that extent yet, after all, I am not incapable of killing you!"

"Are you sure you’re confident about that?"

Yuan Ming once again fell into silence. Was he confident?

Honestly, he was not, at the level of Ye Xunhuan and himself, if someone really wanted to flee, it’s basically impossible to stop them unless he took another step forward!

But is that possible?

"How could I know if I don’t try!" Yuan Ming’s expression immediately turned severe: "Ye Xunhuan, you are the only person in twenty years to witness my Seven-Star Break!"

As he finished speaking, Yuan Ming’s aura drastically changed, no longer filled with the sharp intention to kill like before, but his whole being was now shrouded in a dark and quiet color.

It seemed that at this moment his view of the world was completely grey!

Feeling the change in Yuan Ming, Ye Xunhuan’s expression suddenly darkened.

At this moment, he felt a sense of death he had not felt in a long time!
