Sage of Humanity-Chapter 692 - 690: Tyrannical Saber Technique
Tyrannical Saber Villa and God's Will Sect both belonged to Fengzhou, and naturally, there were some frictions between them, especially since Ye Ying and God's Will Sect Leader Xiong Tieshan had a grudge from their younger days.
That's why Ye Xiong chose to collude with God's Will Sect, for he knew that as long as he leaked Ye Ying's whereabouts, God's Will Sect would definitely take action.
Indeed, the God's Will Sect did not disappoint his expectations. Xiong Tieshan personally took action, leading eight elders in an ambush that killed Ye Ying in one fell swoop.
After that, things became simple. While the Sect Leader of God's Will Sect took action, Vice Sect Leader Pang Wanhai also led a group attacking Tyrannical Saber Villa, resulting in the death of all of Ye Liu's older brothers, leaving only Ye Liu and Ye Liuli to desperately escape.
In the following days, Pang Wanhai did not rush to leave. Instead, he stayed to comprehend the Tyrannical Saber Technique, gaining some insights. Tonight, he sensed intense fighting coming from somewhere within the villa and, surprised, came to investigate.
Swiftly approaching the battlefield, he looked up to see two figures darting and weaving among the ruins, with the flickering light of a Saber flashing intermittently.
One of them was Ye Xiong, whom he had just parted with not long ago, and the other was unexpectedly Ye Liu, who should have fled long ago.
This surprised Pang Wanhai. In his view, Ye Liu clearly only had the cultivation of Cloud River Level 6, yet now he was evenly matched with Ye Xiong.
He had some idea of Ye Xiong's strength; he was stronger than the elders of God's Will Sect. Among the entire God's Will Sect, only he and Sect Leader Xiong Tieshan could suppress Ye Xiong. What was the deal with this Ye Liu, to be so powerful?
While observing, he noticed that although Ye Liu's Cultivation Realm was lower than Ye Xiong's, his speed and strength with the saber were not a bit inferior, and perhaps due to his youth, his reaction speed was even faster than Ye Xiong's. This was the key to his ability to fight above his weight class.
This child cannot be left alive!
This thought immediately popped into Pang Wanhai's mind. If Ye Liu was this outstanding at Level 6, allowing him enough time to advance to Level 8 or Level 9 would spell endless trouble.
Although he was unclear why this youngster had returned to Tyrannical Saber Villa, this was a good opportunity to kill him.
With that thought, a murderous intent surged within Pang Wanhai.
On the other side, Ye Xiong, who was fighting Lu Ye, grew more and more shocked. He found that with his own strength, he was unable to do anything about his nephew, which made him feel both shocked and angry.

He sensed Pang Wanhai's arrival and the murderous intent surging on him.
But his only son had died at the hands of Lu Ye; he wanted to personally kill Lu Ye to avenge his son. If Pang Wanhai interfered, even if Lu Ye were killed, it would not appease his heart.
Therefore, upon sensing Pang Wanhai's murderous intent, Ye Xiong's expression became resolute. In the end, it was necessary to use that particular saber technique!
With a swiping slash of his saber, Ye Xiong launched an all-out strike. Accompanied by a crisp clanging sound, both he and Lu Ye shook slightly and drifted back.
Just then, a sense of danger suddenly arose in Lu Ye's heart. The source of the alarm was not the watching Pang Wanhai but the continuously battling Ye Xiong.
He looked up to see Ye Xiong not far ahead, half-crouching with his hands raised—a saber unwavering in one hand and the other hand wiping vigorously across the blade, pouring spirit force into it. The saber erupted with dazzling brilliance at that moment, and its clear, mirror-like surface reflected Ye Xiong's cold gaze.
Tyrannical Saber Technique!
Lu Ye's heart tightened. Despite having no understanding of the so-called Tyrannical Saber Technique, by watching Ye Xiong suddenly change his momentum dramatically, he instantly realized what this guy was about to do.
Although the Tyrannical Saber Technique was an ancient legacy obtained by Ye Ying, as the Second Manor Master of Tyrannical Saber Villa, Ye Xiong had naturally cultivated it as well.
Now, unable to gain the upper hand in this prolonged battle, he had no choice but to decide the victory with the Tyrannical Saber Technique.
As these thoughts raced through Lu Ye's mind, Ye Xiong already thrust his saber forward. With this strike, Ye Xiong's Essence Qi reached its peak and seemed to be completely vented with the move.
"Kill!" The roar sounded.
Pang Wanhai, who was preparing to join the fight and take down Lu Ye alongside Ye Xiong, couldn't help but halt and stared unblinkingly at Ye Xiong's actions.
He had been comprehending the Tyrannical Saber Technique during the past few days. Though he had made some progress, there were still things he did not understand. Ye Ying was dead, and almost all of the younger members of the Ye family had perished. Now, it seemed that the only ones who knew the Tyrannical Saber Technique were these two Ye-named individuals before him. Being able to witness the execution of the Tyrannical Saber Technique firsthand was naturally beneficial for him.
A point of cold light bloomed, a chilling intent to kill enveloped everything.
Then, specks of starlight burst forth as if suddenly finding oneself under the moonless night sky with the stars above twinkling.
The world was quiet, only the sounds of insects and frogs remained—a picture of natural harmony.
Yet abruptly, the twinkling stars in the sky started to fall, cascading down with the might to destroy heavens and earth.
Tyrannical Saber 1st Movement, Myriad Stars!
Even Pang Wanhai, who was observing from the side, was captivated by the cold saber light, feeling chills on his skin, and tension inside. Yet, he was dazzled, unwilling to even blink.
Rumor had it there were three movements to the Tyrannical Saber. Aside from the first movement, Myriad Stars, known to the public, no one knew what the other two movements entailed.
It seemed that even Ye Ying had never performed the other two movements in public.
But even just this one movement of the Tyrannical Saber was enough to establish his reputation in Fengzhou and found Tyrannical Saber Villa, renowned and formidable.
Ye Xiong's strength paled in comparison to Ye Ying's; from the perspective of a bystander, this saber move seemed not quite smooth, but even an unrefined strike was immensely powerful.
This heightened Pang Wanhai's interest in the Tyrannical Saber Technique, and he made up his mind to have Ye Xiong practice the saber with him after dealing with the youngster.
He reckoned Ye Xiong wouldn't dare refuse.
In his view, with that strike, Lu Ye was doomed, because even he himself, faced with such a strike, could only dodge temporarily. If he chose to meet it head-on, he would either die or be seriously injured.
However, the next moment, a scene that shocked him unfolded.
Facing the strike head-on, Lu Ye didn't retreat but advanced instead, charging into the midst of the Myriad Stars. In that instant, Lu Ye suddenly burst forth with a power stronger than before.
Since that girl had warned Lu Ye that there were people from the God's Will Sect inside the villa, how could Lu Ye not be prepared?
So in his previous exchange with Ye Xiong, he had not used his full strength.
Only at this moment did he go all out, without any reservations.
Stars flickered and burst; in just an instant, the Myriad Stars vanished without a trace.
"What?" Pang Wanhai's eyelids twitched.
He saw clearly that, facing Ye Xiong's Tyrannical Saber strike, that youngster called Ye Liu managed to unleash more than a dozen strikes in an instant, nearly blocking all the attacks.
A figure was sent flying, blood scattering across the sky—it was the previously imposing Ye Xiong.
In the battlefield, Lu Ye stood alone, his spirit force and blood Qi blending. Especially on the arm that held the saber, his blood Qi surged.
If it hadn't been for the cultivation of the Blood Moving Technique, which allowed him to explode with a speed and power far beyond his normal state in an instant, he truly couldn't have blocked that strike.
Even so…
Lu Ye looked down at his abdomen, where his clothes were dyed with fresh crimson blood, and a gaping hole pierced through his lower belly, wounding his internal organs.
With spirit force driving, he locked the flesh around the wound, and Lu Ye exhaled lightly.
He came to Tyrannical Saber Villa for revenge; one reason was to act according to Master Ye Liu's identity, and another was his interest in the Tyrannical Saber Technique.
But previously, he hadn't thought too much of it, feeling that a saber technique of this world, even if profound, might not be that extraordinary, and perhaps not even comparable to what he had extorted from the Mad Saber Sect.
However, after clashing with Ye Xiong, Lu Ye realized he had underestimated the Tyrannical Saber Technique.
This saber technique might be something incredibly remarkable.
This made his interest in it even stronger.
Looking across the whole Nine Provinces, with his current strength, absolutely no one at Level 8 could force him to go all out and still leave him injured.
But Ye Xiong had done it, relying not on his cultivation realm, but on that strike.
That kind of saber skills had already surpassed the category of normal saber skills, even giving Lu Ye a wondrous feeling.
Saber Intent…
This intangible thing, Lu Ye had always heard of it but never paid much attention to, because he always believed that saber skills were just techniques for fighting enemies. Quite simple, how could there be too much vagueness?
But that one strike from Ye Xiong made him sense the existence of "intent."
This was indeed marvelously strange.
If he were to go into secluded meditation and ponder on it now, perhaps his saber skills could progress. But clearly, this was not a good time.
"Ah…" A scream tore through the night sky, it was Ye Xiong, who had been flung away, shouting desperately.
It was true he had cultivated the Tyrannical Saber Technique, but this was the first time he had used it against an enemy. Due to his insufficient skills in saber arts, he was not yet capable of unleashing that strike. Forcing it would only burden himself immensely.
At this moment, his apparent injuries were only from Lu Ye's saber slash to his body, but in reality, his flesh all over was fissured.
When that strike was executed, his Essence Qi had already been completely drained. Now, he was utterly without any reserve strength.
He had thought he could kill Lu Ye with that strike, but ultimately his cultivation was inadequate. Not only had he failed to slay his enemy, but he was also wounded by Lu Ye.
Recalling Ye Ying's previous teachings, Ye Xiong remembered being told his comprehension of that move was lacking. It was fine against those weaker than him, but against someone stronger, not only would the strike be ineffective, it would rather put him in an even more disadvantageous situation.
And since the opponents weaker than himself would not warrant the use of such a technique, even though he had cultivated the Tyrannical Saber Technique, this was the first time he unleashed it against an enemy, resulting in his current state.
Full of unwillingness…
"Brother Pang, please lend a hand!" Ye Xiong, lying on the ground, looked towards Pang Wanhai.
Since he was unable to take revenge himself, he had to borrow someone else's hand.
With Ye Liu already injured, there would be no problem if Pang Wanhai made a move.
"It should be so!" Pang Wanhai, having enjoyed a fierce battle, was in a good mood. So, faced with Ye Xiong's request, he agreed promptly.
Raising his hand in the Void, he clenched and a long saber appeared. His fighting spirit surged as he looked at Lu Ye, his eyelids drooping, he said, "Kid, take my three strikes, and I'll spare your life!"
