"Want to come over? Kneel down and beg me!"
Xiao Yi stood on the opposite side of the Godfall Demon Abyss, with only the last iron chain remaining in front of him, rattling in the cold wind.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
The demon sword in his hand was swallowing blood-red sharpness.
On the opposite bank, Su Can and the others all had incredibly ugly expressions. Previously, when they forced Xiao Yi to scout ahead, they had shaken the iron chains repeatedly in the same manner and tone, demanding Xiao Yi to kneel and beg them.
The roles were reversed.
The one in control was Xiao Yi.
Su Can and the others were filled with immense regret.
One by one, the strong figures glared furiously at Su Can, venting their rage with roars: "Look what you've done. If you hadn't made Xiao Yi scout ahead, how could it have come to this?"
"Su Can, you must take responsibility for this!"
"Damn it, now there's only one iron chain left, we must not let Xiao Yi cut it off!"
"Su Can, this whole affair started because of you, you must handle it properly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"
The crowd glared angrily, roaring incessantly at Su Can.
This caused Su Can's face to fluctuate between pale and flush, looking extremely awkward. Intending to use this opportunity to eliminate Xiao Yi, he instead found himself completely at Xiao Yi's mercy. Truly a case of stealing chickens without managing to lose the rice, besides making Su Can feel a burning pain on his face as if he had been fiercely slapped dozens of times. He took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with venomous light.
A chilling murderous intent locked onto Yue Shanchuan.
Xiao Yi, noticing Su Can's malicious gaze, shouted loudly, "Listen to me, if anyone dares to hurt a single hair on Old Yue, I will immediately cut off this chain."
"Don't be impulsive!"
"Xiao Yi, stay calm, we definitely won't hurt him..." the crowd hastily shouted.
Ye Ling, with her eyes as bright as stars, stared intently at Su Can, saying in a clear, cold, and ethereal voice, "Su Can, you'd best not act recklessly. If you enrage Xiao Yi enough to cut the chains, none of us will be able to accomplish the task assigned from above."
Su Can's complexion changed unpredictably.
He had not anticipated that after all his meticulous scheming, Xiao Yi could still turn the tables and seize the initiative.
Su Can exhaled fiercely, fixing his gaze on Xiao Yi: "Xiao Yi, what exactly do you want?"
Xiao Yi's mouth curled up slightly, saying, "You're not worthy to talk to me, let the people from the holy land and the imperial families come out!"
Su Can's face was filled with humiliation, looking extremely unsightly.
He was, after all, the first young talent of Galaxy Valley.
Xiao Yi actually said he was not worthy to talk?
From within the crowd, a red-haired young man from Nantian Holy Institute shouted coldly.
A cold breath covered the ground around them with a layer of frost.
This person stepped forward.
His eyes glowed sharply, and his brows were as sharp as sword edges, each hair as defined as a sword filament — this was a master of swordsmanship. His appearance immediately startled the crowd, and even Su Can did not dare to say more: "This is Hu Junyi, the top figure of Nantian Holy Institute's outer court."
"Hu Junyi, with a Natural Sword Body, is said to have pulled out his own spine to observe and learn during his Manifestation of Dharma. His spine is like a dragon, his form like a sword; he once slaughtered an Earth Venerate Realm expert with a single slash!"
The crowd revealed expressions of shock.
This was the Nantian Holy Institute's top figure of the outer court, whose strength was formidable, even compared to Xiao Yi.
Hu Junyi stared at Xiao Yi, saying, "Xiao Yi, you can state any conditions you have!"
Xiao Yi's mouth curled up slightly, saying, "First demand, let Old Yue come over first!"
Hu Junyi agreed after a moment of silence. After all, Yue Shanchuan was backed by Elder Tianku—were they to harm Yue Shanchuan now, Elder Tianku would certainly not let them off once they left the Cloud Dream Temple. It was better to use him as a bargaining chip with Xiao Yi. Then he continued asking, "Any other conditions?"
Xiao Yi nodded, revealing a cold sneer, and his icy gaze swept over Su Can and the others.
Su Can's face abruptly changed.
He felt an intensely strong sense of unease.
As if to confirm his suspicions, Xiao Yi said nonchalantly, "I find the people from Galaxy Valley particularly disagreeable. My second condition is the annihilation of everyone in Galaxy Valley!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a chorus of sharp intakes of breath could be heard from the crowd.
These sounds naturally came from Su Can and the other strong members of Galaxy Valley.
Su Lan's face turned deathly pale as she looked at the equally grave Su Can beside her, "Big brother, what should we do?"
With a dark expression, Su Can clenched his teeth and said, "Don't panic... The Valley Master is just outside, they surely wouldn't risk offending him..."
Before he could finish,
Hu Junyi shattered his illusion, saying, "Galaxy Valley is nothing but a trifle. I can agree to your condition!"
Ye Ling glanced at the mysterious young man in the crowd, then nodded and said, "No problem!"
The strong members of Galaxy Valley: "..."
They stared, dumbfounded, like deer in headlights, at the people encircling them like hungry wolves, their faces displaying colors of utter despair.
Su Can swallowed hard, his teeth clenched, as he glared at Ye Ling and Hu Junyi, venom in his eyes, "Hu Junyi, Ye Ling... Galaxy Valley has no grudges against you. Do you truly intend to wipe us out entirely? Don't forget, behind Galaxy Valley stands a power of the Earth Venerate Realm, and our Valley Master is right outside..."
"Galaxy Valley? Counts for nothing!"
"Killing you ensures our passage through the Godfall Demon Abyss, why wouldn't we do it!"
Ye Ling waved her delicate finger with a look of impatience, and emotionlessly commanded, "Start!"
Everyone pounced on the members of Galaxy Valley at the same time.
Amid the wails of agony,
Over a thousand strong members of Galaxy Valley fell like wilting flowers, one after another, under the onslaught.
Only Su Can was left. He looked at Su Lan who lay dead before him, his eyes filled with despair. He glared at Xiao Yi, roaring, "Xiao Yi, I won't let you off even as a ghost..."
Hu Junyi threw a punch.
It landed squarely on Su Can's forehead.
Su Can's body jerked, his head exploding like a watermelon, spattering blood and flesh all around. Till death, he could hardly believe that he, so full of self-confidence, who thought he could slay Xiao Yi and avenge Su Qi and Su Yi, had, in the end, orchestrated his own and the over a thousand elite members of Galaxy Valley's downfall.
Equally enraged was Su Xinghe, outside of Yunmeng Marsh.
Su Xinghe, with a fierce expression, looked up and howled, his eyes bloodshot as if they would spurt blood.
These were the elite of Galaxy Valley's younger generation.
The hope for the future.
Yet, they had been completely annihilated upon entering Yunmeng Marsh.
It was almost as if the future of Galaxy Valley had been severed!
"Xiao Yi, you won't die a good death..." Su Xinghe's eyes, filled with resentment, were fixed on Xiao Yi. He was desperate to break through the Barrier Formation and slaughter Xiao Yi into a thousand pieces.
"Valley Master Su, please calm down!"
Long Sihai quickly stepped forward to speak, "Valley Master Su, as Xiao Yi is still within the barrier, we are unable to deal with him for now. Let him enjoy a little while longer. Once Yunmeng Marsh is broken through, it won't be too late to deal with him then!"
Su Xinghe snorted coldly.
Among those who had just taken action were also members of the royalty from Nantian Holy Institute, yet he was helpless against them.
Neither Nantian Holy Institute nor Nantian itself was something Galaxy Valley could contend with.
All his hatred had to be directed at Xiao Yi.
"Xiao Yi, if I don't kill you, I, Su Xinghe, swear I am not a human being!" Su Xinghe's face was grim.
Long Sihai's lips slightly curled upwards as he looked towards Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, oh Xiao Yi, let's see how long you can keep hopping around!"
