Chapter 376: Ye Guanhai, Loyalty!
The dark golden banner fluttered loudly, and Ye Nangge himself made a flashy entrance.
Countless soul bodies raged outward, sweeping toward the people of the Xie, Jiang, and Ji families.
Xie Lihou and Jiang Wentian discovered with horror that, in just a few days of not seeing him, the number of soul bodies Ye Nangge could summon had multiplied several times over, reaching a count of five hundred!
Facing the indiscriminate attacks of the soul bodies, Ji Yanyin had to take action even if she didn't want to!
She drew an ancient sword from behind her back; the sword Qi was like a rainbow, and with a single strike, she slew dozens of soul bodies, her beautiful eyes filled with fury.
"Your Ye family truly has the ambitions of wolves!"
Little did they know, Ye Guanhai and the other four were also looking bewildered at this moment; he looked at Ye Nangge and asked blankly.
"Didn't you and Ye Zhenbei go to seize the Spirit Mother?"
"The plan has changed! Follow me and kill everyone! Let them all become my nutrients; when that time comes, I shall be invincible under heaven!"
Ye Nangge gave a cold shout and waved the large banner, causing those soul bodies to instantly fall into a berserk state.
Although Ye Guanhai and the others were a bit confused, seeing that Ye Nangge had given the order, murderous intent rose in their eyes as well.
Their Ye family had six Star Realm experts here at this moment; this was the source of their fearlessness!
"Do it!"
Ye Guanhai went straight for Xie Lihou, clearly intending to settle old and new scores together.
Xie Lihou dared not underestimate his opponent; he condensed several metal spears and began a great battle with Ye Guanhai.
Although Ye Guanhai's level was higher than Xie Lihou's, he had, after all, been forcibly boosted by the Poison Venerable's toxins; his true combat power was not actually much stronger than Xie Lihou's, and for a time, the two were locked in an inextricable struggle.
Jiang Wentian and Ji Yanyin also each engaged a Star Realm Ye family member; at the same time, Jiang Wentian threw out the Taotie stone carving, manifesting a giant Taotie beast to block another Star Realm expert once again!
Yet even so, on the Ye family's side, Ye Nangge and another Star Realm expert remained unengaged, free to start a massacre at any time.
"I don't know if I can hold out."
Ji Tianxuan lit a cigarette, the expression on his face somewhat complex.
Afterward, he brushed his storage ring, and an ancient and majestic sword appeared; the blade emitted a faint golden light, as if it contained incomparable power, making one look upon it with awe.
The moment he took out this sword, Ji Tianxuan's aura became incomparably sharp.
It was just that the tip of this sword, for some reason, was still wrapped in a large black stone.
"This thing... is the origin artifact of the Ji family?!"
Ye Nangge exclaimed, his eyes burning as he looked at the sword in Ji Tianxuan's hand.
"You have a good eye."
Ji Tianxuan shouldered the sword.
"Ever since the Eternal Divine Sword was inserted into the whetstone by the first ancestor of my Ji family, no one has been able to pull it out. I kept saying I was the chosen one for the Eternal Divine Sword, but they just wouldn't believe me. Haven't I pulled the sword out now?"
The people present were silent for a moment.
They finally understood why there was a large stone on the tip of the sword.
Whether Ji Tianxuan was the chosen one or not, they weren't sure, but Ji Tianxuan's hand strength was indeed quite great.
When many people looked at the sword in Ji Tianxuan's hand, they couldn't help but feel a hint of greed.
The name "Eternal Divine Sword" was rarely used; everyone preferred to call this sword the Xuanyuan Sword!
Compared to the various flashy functions of other origin artifacts, the Xuanyuan Sword was much more plain and unadorned; there were only four words to describe the Xuanyuan Sword: Attack First!
In terms of attack power alone, the other six origin artifacts combined were not worth looking at in front of the Xuanyuan Sword.
Ye Nangge gave a look to the last Ye family member; he didn't want to experience the terror of the Xuanyuan Sword himself—what if his Human Emperor Flag got chopped up?
The other party understood and charged straight toward Ji Tianxuan.
Seeing this, Ji Tianxuan gripped the hilt with both hands, veins bulging on his arms, and then slashed out with a fierce strike.
This strike had no sword Qi fluctuations; the large stone on the blade made this weapon look less like a sword and more like a meteor hammer!
Accompanied by a muffled thud, that Ye family Star Realm expert was actually sent flying by this strike.
He retreated dozens of meters before barely stabilizing his figure, his internal blood and Qi churning from the shock.
Although he wasn't injured, caught off guard, Ji Tianxuan's strike clearly made him feel quite uncomfortable.
Just as the Ye family's Star Realm expert was about to regroup and fight Ji Tianxuan again, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart!
He looked down and saw a pitch-black arrow that had silently pierced his heart at some point, fresh blood staining the arrow dark red.
"Why... why..."
This Ye family Star Realm expert raised his head, looking at Ye Nangge in disbelief.
He had never expected Ye Nangge to strike at him, and thus had no defenses whatsoever.
He had sacrificed his future and his life for the Ye family, raising his strength to the Star Realm; it could be said that he had dedicated everything to the Ye family, truly having exhausted his efforts until his dying day.
But now, Ye Nangge, a direct descendant of the Ye family and very likely the future head of the Ye family, had actually dealt him a lethal blow?
"Hmph! You couldn't even take a single strike from him; what a piece of trash! My Ye family never keeps useless people! Trash doesn't deserve to live! You might as well become my nutrients!"
Having said that, Ye Nangge pressed his hand onto the top of the Ye family member's head, and the man's body disintegrated piece by piece until it completely vanished into nothingness.
This eerie scene made everyone present feel a chill run through their bodies; this was naked cannibalism!
What was even more terrifying was that as Ye Nangge waved the dark golden banner in his hand, the soul of the recently deceased Ye family member was forcibly pulled out and sucked into the banner!
This was truly leaving no bones behind, never to be reincarnated!
"Ye Nangge, what is the meaning of this?" Ye Guanhai shouted, also filled with fear; if Ye Nangge would strike at that man just now, it meant he might also turn his lethal hand on them!
"It means exactly what it says. My Ye family spent manpower and resources to raise you collateral branches to your current realm; if you can't even defeat these people in front of you, then it means you are trash!"
Ye Nangge's expression was cold and stern.
"Trash only wastes rice by living in this world. Rather than dying at the hands of others and losing face for my Ye family, I might as well send you on your way myself!"
The faces of Ye Guanhai and the others were extremely ugly, but even though Ye Nangge had acted so excessively, they dared not have the slightest thought of rebellion; after all, their families were still in the Ye family.
If they died in battle here, their children could be promoted from collateral to direct descendants.
If they dared to fight Ye Nangge to the death, their children would undoubtedly die.
But clearly, Ye Nangge's tactic of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys was extremely effective.
In an instant, the combat power of Ye Guanhai and the other four rose a level, and they began a desperate style of fighting, even trading injury for injury just to keep Xie Lihou, Jiang Wentian, and Ji Yanyin suppressed.
Seeing this, Ye Nangge nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, Ye family collateral branch, Ye Guanhai, loyalty!"
