For a moment, Yan Zhengrong began to panic, completely at a loss.
Right now, he was all alone, an old man with one foot in the grave. Facing Ye Xunhuan, he was completely like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, with no power to resist.
In Ye Xunhuan's eyes, Yan Zhengrong was also a lamb to be slaughtered, so he proceeded unhurriedly, leisurely walking towards Yan Zhengrong as if he were on a stroll!
Watching the distance between himself and Ye Xunhuan shrink step by step, Yan Zhengrong's heart was completely seized by fear, filled with panic, and his aged body trembled slightly at this moment.
When Ye Xunhuan was only three steps away from him, Yan Zhengrong trembled as he said, "Ye Xunhuan, can we talk this out!"
Even though Yan Zhengrong tried hard to control his emotions and the panic in his heart, the trembling in his voice betrayed his truest feelings inside.
"Talk?" Ye Xunhuan looked at Yan Zhengrong with some mockery, "Don't you think it's a bit too late to say this now?"
If Yan Zhengrong hadn't threatened before, Ye Xunhuan certainly wouldn't have come to kill him.
While they say a barking dog doesn't bite,
Yan Zhengrong, this old dog, not only barks but bites, and he exuded a murderous intent.
If he wasn't dealt with today, who knows what kinds of tricks Yan Zhengrong might have up his sleeve in the future!
"Ye Xunhuan, killing me won't do you any good!"
Even though the fear inside him surged like an unstoppable river, Yan Zhengrong still tried his best to control the fear inside himself.
"Our Yan Family has deep ties with the Guardians; if you kill me, they will surely come after you." Yan Zhengrong forced himself to speak despite his fear, "You're very strong, you could find a place to hide after killing me, but can everyone around you hide?"
"Ye Xunhuan, killing me would not be a wise choice, you're a smart person, you should understand the consequences of killing me!" Yan Zhengrong took a deep breath and continued, "I assure you, I won't trouble you..."
"Finished talking?" Ye Xunhuan reached out and picked at his ear.
If you're done, then listen to me." Ye Xunhuan said calmly, "You made a lot of sense, killing you indeed wouldn't be wise..."
Hearing these words from Ye Xunhuan, Yan Zhengrong's heart jolted sharply, and the fear in his heart gradually began to dissipate.
But in the next moment, Ye Xunhuan's tone took a sudden turn, causing Yan Zhengrong's heart to plummet in shock, his complexion turning ugly, as if falling into an abyss!
"But I hate being threatened!" Ye Xunhuan's voice suddenly turned icy, as if it was coming from the depths of the Nine Serenities Hell, devoid of any emotion, "Whoever threatens me is either remorseful in hell or on their way there!"
"Do you think I'm afraid of the Guardians?" Ye Xunhuan sneered disdainfully, "If they seek revenge for you, they better kill me with one strike. If they can't, I will become the nightmare of the entire Guardians!"
"I will lead countless Westerners to come and kill."
Hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Yan Zhengrong's heart shuddered, his pupils dilated and then slowly contracted together.
He never imagined Ye Xunhuan was a madman, a complete madman.
Daring to openly challenge the Guardians, and even allying with outsiders to attack his own people.
Doesn't he know he's from Huaxia?
"Relax and be on your way!" Ye Xunhuan interrupted Yan Zhengrong's words nonchalantly, "After your death, if the Yan Family behaves, they can continue to exist, but if they insist on courting death, I will send you all to reunite underground!"
With those words, Ye Xunhuan's right hand suddenly reached out as if grabbing a bag, directly aiming at Yan Zhengrong's throat.
Just as Ye Xunhuan's claw was about to grab Yan Zhengrong's throat, a bizarre scene suddenly unfolded.
A wall seemed to materialize in front of Yan Zhengrong, causing Ye Xunhuan's right hand to no longer be able to extend over.
Facing this bizarre scene, Ye Xunhuan's heart trembled, an ominous premonition rising swiftly, causing all his muscles to tense up, ready as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Who?" Ye Xunhuan immediately growled.
Ye Xunhuan was not an ordinary person; faced with this bizarre scene, he definitely wouldn't think it was a ghost.
He knew he had encountered a master, a very powerful one; the person was able to protect Yan Zhengrong with energy.
Most importantly, Ye Xunhuan hadn't noticed the person hiding in the dark at all, not a sign of presence.
This almost certainly meant to Ye Xunhuan that the opponent was either more powerful, hence undetectable, or their concealment skills had reached an extraordinary level.
Apart from these two possibilities, Ye Xunhuan could think of nothing else.
Yan Zhengrong was also stunned, having already prepared for death, but who expected to find a way out at the last moment, like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
In this final moment, someone intervened to save him.
Yan Zhengrong was baffled, unable to guess.
Meanwhile, Ye Xunhuan looked around warily, as if facing a great enemy.
"Who, coward hiding in the shadows, come out if you have guts."
Apart from the sound of the wind and the echo of Ye Xunhuan's voice, there was no other sound.
Yan Zhengrong too looked around with a face full of fear and curiosity.
With no one making a sound or appearing, Ye Xunhuan's expression turned cold: "You think your energy shield can protect him?"
With those words, Ye Xunhuan's right hand twitched, and with a "clang," a cold gleam suddenly appeared.
Under the sunlight, the cold gleam exuded a chilling aura, and it was particularly dazzling!
With those words, the longsword in Ye Xunhuan's hand suddenly swung up, simultaneously emitting a dazzling brilliance from the sword's body, like a bright moon!
Just as Ye Xunhuan was about to bring the longsword down, an elderly voice suddenly sounded: "Marshal, I have appeared!"
The sharp sword in Ye Xunhuan's hand suddenly slashed out.
The blade emitted a dazzling brilliance, like a long, narrow jade belt across the Milky Way, rapidly slicing towards Yan Zhengrong!
