"This aura is..."
Sensing the overwhelming killing intent from afar, Luo Xia's beautiful eyes narrowed, and a trace of apprehension flickered deep within her pupils.
Beside her, Xi Yao's expression was slightly panicked. She instinctively clenched her fist and said, "Master! It seems to be coming for us!"
"Mhm!"
Luo Xia nodded slightly, having also sensed it.
"No! To be precise..."
At this moment, Ye Ming chuckled lightly, "It's probably coming for me!"
As if on cue, the moment his words fell, a figure emanating a deathly aura, with blood-red eyes, appeared a hundred meters in front of them with the force of a hurricane.
The newcomer was none other than You Li, the Valley Master of the Death Spirit Valley.
"You insignificant brat, today I will grind your bones to dust and tear your flesh into ten thousand pieces!" You Li's blood-red eyes stared ferociously at Ye Ming, the fury in his pupils having already taken tangible form.
"Valley Master You! What do you intend to do?"
Before Ye Ming could speak, Luo Xia stepped forward first and said calmly, "As a senior in the ancient martial arts world, are you going to attack a junior?"
Hearing this, a ferocious glint flashed in You Li's eyes. He waved his large hand and angrily declared:
"Get lost! Anyone who dares to stop me today, I will kill!"
Bang!
In an instant, the aura emanating from You Li became increasingly violent, spreading wildly in all directions. The entire world seemed to be shrouded in a dark, oppressive cloud, making it impossible to see even with outstretched hands.
Terrifying!
"Hmm? What in the world is going on?"
Seeing You Li's fury, Luo Xia also felt that something was amiss.
"Pavilion Mistress Luo Xia, please let me handle this myself!"
Just as Luo Xia was feeling conflicted, Ye Ming suddenly stepped forward, patted her shoulder, and chuckled, "After all! I killed his son!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Xia and her disciple had identical expressions. They suddenly looked at Ye Ming, almost losing their balance.
"You... What did you say!"
Luo Xia even doubted if her ears had misheard, and said blankly, "You... you killed You Li's son?"
In response, Ye Ming could only shrug.
"This... you..."
Xi Yao, seeing his expression, suddenly felt the world spinning and trembled, "Are you insane!"
That was You Li's son!
She knew what had happened in the inner circle before.
But didn't You Chuan escape in the end?
Xi Yao could never have imagined that Ye Ming would pursue him further and completely burn all bridges.
"You... Sigh!"
Luo Xia seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she shook her head, letting out a sigh.
The enmity of a murdered son!
There was basically no room for reconciliation.
"Pavilion Mistress Luo Xia! I will handle what I have done myself! You don't need to worry about it!"
After saying this, Ye Ming walked past Luo Xia.
"You..."
Watching the youth's retreating back, Luo Xia instinctively reached out, but her hand froze in mid-air.
If she were to intervene now, it would represent the stance of the entire Dragon Phoenix Pavilion.
She knew better than anyone what that would entail.
Moreover, Ye Ming had killed the other party's son. From any perspective, she had no reason to get involved.
As mentioned before, it was the enmity of a murdered son.
Such a feud was irreconcilable.
Her intervention would be neither logical nor reasonable.
However, when Luo Xia thought of how he had saved her in a desperate situation. And now, she could do nothing.
The complex emotions caused her gaze to gradually become complicated.
At this moment, seeing Ye Ming step forward voluntarily, the killing intent he released was already potent enough to pierce Ye Ming's body through the air.
If an ordinary person were to face such killing intent, they would have already been terrified and collapsed to the ground.
However, for Ye Ming, it was no different from being non-existent.
"Insignificant brat! You have some nerve! To not hide behind a woman?" You Li's voice was extremely grim.
"Old man! I advise you to watch your mouth! Otherwise..." Ye Ming's eyes gradually narrowed and he said, "I might get angry!"
"Hahaha! Good! Arrogant enough!"
Hearing this, You Li extended his right palm, and a multitude of black true qi gathered in his palm. He said coldly, "I wonder if you can still be this arrogant after I turn you into a corpse puppet!"
Just as he was about to make a move, the three Martial Gods who were preparing to leave suddenly rushed over.
"Valley Master You! Why would you need to dirty your hands? I can serve you!"
"Indeed! This brat is extremely arrogant and deserves to die!"
"That's right! How dare he cruelly kill the beloved son of Valley Master You! We will surely avenge the young master with his blood!"
The three of them stepped forward, flattering him.
"Oh!"
You Li glanced at the three of them and said indifferently, "Very well, then he is yours to deal with! However, you can kill him, but you must preserve the body intact for me!"
Hearing this, the three exchanged glances and laughed heartily, "Valley Master You, rest assured, we will be mindful of our limits!"
For them, this was a golden opportunity.
Killing Ye Ming would not only resolve the pent-up frustration they had previously endured but also incur a favor from the Death Spirit Valley.
It was a win-win situation.
The three approached Ye Ming, a cruel smile appearing on their lips.
One of the purple-robed elders smiled menacingly and said, "Insignificant brat! You never expected this day to come, did you! Before, you had the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion as your backing, but now?"
In their eyes, they had never truly regarded Ye Ming with any respect.
What they had feared before was always Luo Xia, the Pavilion Mistress of the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion.
Now, with the backing of the Death Spirit Valley, they had nothing to be afraid of.
"Sigh! Why is it that after just narrowly escaping death, you don't know how to cherish it?" Ye Ming glanced at them expressionlessly and then walked towards them.
"Hmm?"
Seeing that the other party showed no fear, the three were somewhat surprised but did not take it to heart.
"Seeking death!"
Seeing Ye Ming dare to approach, the purple-robed elder stomped forward, his body turning into a cannonball. Countless true qi converged on his right fist, and he swung it out with immense force.
"Die!"
With a punch, he expected a terrifying energy fluctuation to erupt. However, that was not the case.
Because, just as his fist was about to strike Ye Ming's head, it inexplicably stopped.
"I... Why can't I move?"
At this moment, the purple-robed elder felt as if he had been isolated from the world.
"Goodbye!"
As Ye Ming walked past him, he only left a faint whisper in his ear.
"This... How is this possible?"
Bang!
Before the purple-robed elder could even feel any pain, the life force within him seemed to have already completely drained away.
What had happened was incredibly bizarre.
Without even looking back at the fallen purple-robed elder, Ye Ming, like a walking god of death, moved towards the remaining two.
"Your turn!"
