Swoosh!

The next moment.

A young man appeared instantly in mid-air. The youth’s aura was icy, holding only a broken sword in hand, exuding a mysterious aura from all over his body.

"Ye Shaoyou!"

The young man said coldly.

"Who is this little brat?"

Ye Xuan laughed. He naturally recognized this young man, a Heavenly Pride like Jun Wushuang, one of those few powerful individuals.

But Ye Xuan pretended not to know him and teased him instead, especially since he looked so young and naïve.

"How dare you insult me?"

Boom!

The youth’s gaze was icy, and a hint of chill reached its extreme. The broken sword in his hand roared out, cutting through tens of thousands of strands of chill, directly slashing toward Ye Xuan.

"What a sharp sword intent!"

Ye Xuan was startled; even he felt threatened, proving the terror of this sword.

But fortunately.

Though Ye Xuan felt threatened, this sword couldn’t harm him.

Bam!

Ye Xuan punched out, the Destructive Demon Fist whistling away, directly canceling out the youth’s Heaven-destroying strike, but the surrounding mountains turned to ash, even Ye Xuan’s cave dwelling disappeared.

"Being able to take my two strikes, I did underestimate you a bit."

The young man stood with his sword sheathed, not continuing to strike at Ye Xuan, but his posture was lofty, as if he didn’t consider Ye Xuan a match.

"Little brat, where are your guardians?"

Speaking of arrogance!

Ye Xuan never lost, and now the youth’s boastful words wouldn’t sit well with him.

"Are you only good at talking?"

Li Taichu’s face remained dark, his gaze at Ye Xuan glimmering with a hint of killing intent.

Though he appeared youthful, he had lived for five billion years, much older than Ye Xuan by numerous years.

"What, do you want a fight?"

Ye Xuan chuckled, very curious about Li Taichu because the latter gave him a sense of threat, a feeling that never emerged even with Jun Wushuang.

"Killing you isn’t difficult, but doing so now would hamper my cultivation, so today you’re safe."

Arrogant!

Extremely arrogant!

Such arrogance startled Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan considered himself terribly arrogant, but today he witnessed something far beyond, with Li Taichu surpassing even him in arrogance.

"Many have wanted to kill me, yet all met their end by my hand; you’re different, but I wager your fate is no different from theirs." Ye Xuan smiled slightly.

At this moment.

Li Taichu calmed down. No matter how Ye Xuan provoked him, he remained unangered, saying calmly, "Taking two of my strikes earns you the right to be my opponent, but I have four more strikes to make. I wonder how many you can withstand?"

"Hand over Ye Shaoyou."

Li Taichu’s threat was palpable, truly not seeing Ye Xuan as a threat because he had immense faith in his laws and dao.

"If you want someone from me, show me you’re capable."

Ye Xuan smiled coldly. To deal with someone utterly arrogant, only by truly putting them beneath you can all their pride be shattered.

"Are you pushing me to act?"

Li Taichu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he gripped the broken sword once more. This time, his body glowed with black mixed with azure light, slightly tremoring Ye Xuan’s spirit.

"Brother Shaoyou, be careful, he killed the Divine Son of Time and Space."

Lu Yaoxing hurriedly cautioned Ye Xuan, fearing he might recklessly fall at Li Taichu’s hands.

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan paused, finally giving Li Taichu a serious assessment, a heavy look flashing through his eyes.

Very strong!

Even stronger than Jun Wushuang!

Especially the broken sword in Li Taichu’s hand was channeling a sword intent Ye Xuan had never seen, and all nine of Li Taichu’s Heavenly Gates had opened.

The Divine Son of Time had opened nine Heavenly Gates but still perished under Li Taichu’s sword. This alone let Ye Xuan know how terrifying Li Taichu’s sword intent was.

"Six Destruction Killings, Heaven and Earth Supreme!"

Rumbling!

Li Taichu was slowly drawing his sword, the space around them terrifyingly stagnant, with only a single sword light blooming in his hand.

"Ye Shaoyou, should you die under my Six Destruction Killings’ third strike, at least you could die at ease." Li Taichu coldly murmured.

"You arrogant brat, today I’ll teach you a lesson."

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, nine Heavenly Gates roaring open, with causality and destructive power spouting out, and starlight began to emanate from him. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

At this moment.

Ye Xuan not only wielded two supreme powers but also activated the Star Origin Technique, truly regarding Li Taichu as a formidable enemy.

On the brink of battle, heaven and earth’s void continuously collapsed; just the momentum from both had reached a peak, needing only a trigger for a world-shaking conflict to erupt.

At the critical moment.

A figure suddenly entered the scene, accompanied by a playful voice.

"Fellow daoists, hold your hands; there’s nothing that can’t be resolved through talk, fighting and killing won’t solve anything."

A man in azure clothing blocked between Ye Xuan and Li Taichu, whose appearance made Li Taichu’s countenance change, sheathing his drawn sword suddenly.

"Jiang Fusheng, you’re really persistent."

"Hmph!"

Li Taichu turned and left without lingering; close examination would reveal a great dread of the man in azure.

"Heh-heh."

Watching Li Taichu walk away, Jiang Fusheng grinned sheepishly and looked to Ye Xuan, "Brother Ye, he’s just a brat. Don’t take him seriously; continue your cultivation, I’ll have a chat with him."

Swoosh!

Finishing his words, Jiang Fusheng transformed into a rainbow light chasing after Li Taichu, leaving Ye Xuan’s eyes profoundly deep.

"Such strong cultivation, yet I can’t gauge his depth?"

Earlier, if Li Taichu was a formidable enemy, then Jiang Fusheng made Ye Xuan feel no threat, as if he were an ordinary mortal.

But it’s the absence of threat that is most dangerous.

To not see through him meant his cultivation surpassed Ye Xuan’s avatar.

Moreover, Li Taichu, so outrageously arrogant, retreated upon seeing Jiang Fusheng, proving Jiang Fusheng was indeed extraordinary.

"Looks like I’ve underestimated these peerless talents."

Ye Xuan muttered softly, from Jun Wushuang to Li Taichu, and the newly appeared Jiang Fusheng, truly refreshing Ye Xuan’s perception of them.

Very strong!

Not beneath him, and undoubtedly Jiang Fusheng was stronger.

Of course!

The strength mentioned here only surpassed Ye Xuan’s avatar. If his true self were present, Ye Xuan believed he could suppress them all.
