Sage of Humanity-Chapter 686 - 684: So Ferocious

The name of Tyrannical Saber Villa came from Ye Ying. Not that he was overbearing in behavior, but his saber skills were extremely aggressive and dominant.

Ye Ying's children, having been exposed to his influence from a young age, naturally practiced the same lineage of saber skills.

Ye Liuli's saber, both in shape and size, seemed almost identical to Lu Ye's Boulder Mountain Saber.

Though the girl was petite and had been pampered all her life, at this moment, she reached a level of resolve she had never felt before. With Brother Ye Liu severely injured and unable to fight, and their location now revealed, she knew the only way to temporary safety was to cut down the incoming enemy.

Even if it meant death, she was determined to die in front of Brother Ye Liu!

Just as the girl had prepared herself, a figure suddenly burst into the cave—a man in green clothes who, from his harried appearance, clearly hadn't rested properly in days.

Before he could take a good look inside the cave, a flash of saber light had already unfurled in his vision. The slash was as fierce as a tiger descending the mountain, like a flood dragon emerging from the sea—with unparalleled sharpness as the saber struck.

It was hard to imagine that a small-framed woman like Ye Liuli could wield such a domineering saber technique.

Taken by surprise, the man in green clothes' face changed. His Longsword trembled urgently in his hands, transforming into a curtain of blades descending upon Ye Liuli.

At the same time, he cried out in a loud voice, "They're here!"

If he had focused solely on fighting, he might have stood a chance, but by shouting out at such a critical moment, he inadvertently weakened his own momentum.

Spirit force clashed, and the saber light cut through the continuous sword curtain, accompanied by a harsh and miserable scream. The man in green clothes was thrown out in disarray.

His cultivation was not much different from Ye Liuli's. In theory, given her condition, he should not have been her match.

But the saber skills of Tyrannical Saber Villa had always been known for being strong and dominant, for turning weakness into strength.

Additionally, with Ye Liuli's determination to protect Lu Ye at all costs and the enemy merely following orders, this encounter allowed her to severely injure the other party.

Ye Liuli's eyes gleamed, ready to seize the moment and slay her opponent, but another figure dashed in front of her, and a fist wrapped in a gauntlet blasted out of the darkness, smashing her saber light. The surging force blew her away.

The enemies that had come in pursuit were not just one but several.

However, due to the narrowness of the cave, the first to come in—the man in green clothes—was severely injured by Ye Liuli, followed by the gauntlet-wearing cultivator, with three more people standing at the entrance, not yet coming in.

This newcomer had a surge of blood Qi around him and a burly figure, clearly a physique cultivator.

In the confines of such a narrow cave, facing a physique cultivator was undoubtedly the most despairing scenario...

Struggling to get up, Ye Liuli's mouth corner dripped with fresh blood, but she still stood in front of Lu Ye, her Longsword slightly raised, ready to confront the enemy.

The incoming physique cultivator glanced over, saw the fresh blood at the corner of Ye Liuli's mouth, and caught sight of the weakly breathing Lu Ye lying behind her.

He snorted lightly, "The mighty Young Master Ye Liu, Miss Ye Qi, to think there would come a day when you'd fall to such a plight—how pitiful, how lamentable!"

"Who are you people!" Ye Liuli demanded through clenched teeth. There was nothing more heartbreaking than destruction and death at home, compounded by the ignorance of who instigated it.

"What's the point in asking that now?" The physique cultivator looked at Ye Liuli indifferently, "We're just taking money to eliminate troubles for others. If you want to blame someone, blame your father for offending the wrong people."

From this one sentence alone, it wasn't possible to deduce much information, only that Ye Ying had provoked some formidable foe. Not only was he killed, but he also caused the downfall of his own children, and the sizable family business he had built throughout his life vanished just like that.

Furthermore, it was clear that the other side didn't plan to say much to Ye Liuli, or perhaps, they didn't know much themselves.

"Miss Ye Qi, out of respect for your father who was quite a figure, after you kill Master Ye Liu, take your own life. That way, we too can return and report back," they said.

Ye Liuli clenched her teeth, "In your dreams!"

The physique cultivator's eyelids drooped, "Don't spurn the toasting wine only to be forced to drink the punishment wine. Allowing you to take your own life is just to spare you some pain, if we have to take action ourselves, what you'll suffer won't be limited to just death!"

Ye Liuli seemed to understand something, immense fear instantly filling her eyes, and even the breath she'd been holding dissipated involuntarily.

Although she was the pampered young miss of Tyrannical Saber Villa, she had heard many tales of the unfortunate fates that befell beautiful women. She had never imagined that such things could one day happen to her.

If it really came to that, she'd rather die.

"What an opportunity!"

While verbally suggesting that Ye Liuli should take her own life, the physique cultivator had been looking for an opportunity to attack all along. His cultivation was much higher than Ye Liuli's, and he didn't believe Ye Liuli could threaten him under these circumstances, but he was naturally cautious. He knew the potential a person could unleash in a dire situation.

His verbal intimidation had thrown Ye Liuli into disarray, when to strike if not now?

He misstepped, spirit force surged around him, and like an arrow released from the bow, he lunged at Ye Liuli. The stark contrast between his hulking frame and the girl's frailty was like a hawk hunting a rabbit.

How could Ye Liuli, already wounded and now with fresh injuries, withstand such a long-prepared strike? Yet she didn't retreat a single step, continuing to shield Lu Ye with her body.

Feeling the powerful spirit force and imposing momentum emanating from her opponent, Ye Liuli knew that this time, her prospects were dire.

Such a powerful enemy, even if she were to train bitterly for another two or three years, she might not be able to match him, let alone in her current state.

She couldn't let herself be captured alive by him! Even dying by his hand would be preferable to being taken alive!

With this thought, Ye Liuli's eyes filled with a determination to die.

However, just then, a figure suddenly flashed out from behind her, followed by a streak of radiant light.

"What?" the physique cultivator exclaimed. All his attention had been on Ye Liuli, and he hadn't noticed when an extra person appeared in front of her.

What then came into his view was a fire-red streak of sharp light.

"Haha!" Overwhelmed with immense crisis, the physique cultivator roared and raised his fist to meet the blade, his blood Qi boiling over, spirit force swirling, enveloping his fist in a pink glow.

Continuous saber light fell, and in that instant, it seemed as if several saber cries rang out, perhaps only one.

The pink glow suddenly shattered, the sharp longsword cutting through at the edge of his fist, nearly splitting his arm in half.

"Ah!" This cry was both one of shock and agony.

He was a physique cultivator, a Level 7 in terms of cultivation, and even though not top-tier in the Soaring Dragon World, he was no slouch, he'd never imagined that someone in this world could slash through the protection he took such pride in with a single blade.

The saber technique of Tyrannical Saber Villa... was it this ferocious?

Another streak of saber light blossomed, cutting across horizontally, the physique cultivator hastily retracting his punches, crossing his arms in front of himself. The saber light sliced through his elbows as easily as it would tofu, and as the light passed, two severed arms flew out.

The physique cultivator stumbled back, blood spurting from where his arms had been severed.

The swift changes shocked him into confusion, and only then did he realize that another figure had appeared before him at some point... it was Master Ye Liu, who had been lying on the ground all along!

This brat fooled me! The thought surged in the physique cultivator's mind. When he'd arrived, he saw Lu Ye lying there, looking half-dead, so he paid him no heed. In his mind, as long as Ye Liuli was taken care of, the mission would be complete.

Who would have thought that Master Ye Liu, whom he had disregarded, still had such fighting power!

Lu Ye looked small compared to him, at a quick glance, it seemed as though Lu Ye had crashed into his arms. With the Boulder Mountain Saber in hand, he stabbed upward from below, the sharp blade entering through the physique cultivator's chin and piercing into his brain.

"Hehe..." The physique cultivator's eyes were filled with rage, uttering meaningless noises as his body spasmed, and with the withdrawal of Lu Ye's longsword, blood spurted, and he collapsed to the ground, motionless soon after.

This brief moment of mayhem, not only did it stun Ye Liuli on the spot, but the man in green who had first entered was also dumbstruck. Only when his comrade was killed, and Lu Ye's gaze turned towards him, did he let out a cry of alarm, hastily trying to escape.

But by then, was it still possible to get away? The supplies box at Lu Ye's waist buzzed, nine streams of Liu Guang shot out in succession, breaking through the opponent's protective spirit force, piercing several holes through his body.

By the time that man tumbled out, he was completely silent.
