Chapter 793: The Great Battle Concludes

Seeing those hundred-plus resentful souls, Ye Lin’s body could not stop trembling, and tears slid down like pearls from a broken string.

"Eldest Uncle!"

"Second Uncle!"

"Third Uncle!"

"Eldest Aunt!"

"Second Aunt!"

"Third Aunt!"

Ye Lin cried out for his relatives with all his might.

It was a pity that his relatives had long since been refined into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner by that beast Ye Xiehong; they were beyond redemption and could no longer respond to him.

This scene moved the cultivators present.

At this moment, they finally recalled just how beastly Ye Xiehong’s actions were before he was converted by the little nun, and they began to speak up for Ye Lin one after another.

"Too beastly! To actually refine his own family into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner—it is a heinous crime; even converting to Buddhism cannot redeem such sin!"

"Indeed! Why should a villain be able to become a Buddha the moment he lays down his butcher's knife? This is unfair!"

"Big Brother Ye Lin, keep going! You must defeat the villain and save your family!"

Encouraged by the crowd, Ye Lin gripped the Life-Severing Sword tightly and charged at Ye Xiehong once again.

The battle between the two brothers was on the verge of breaking out again, and with the enhancement of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, Ye Xiehong’s combat power saw a clear increase.

Conversely, Ye Lin began to feel somewhat restricted.

Facing the siege of the Ye family’s soul bodies, Ye Lin dared not swing his sword easily, fearing he might accidentally harm his family’s spirits.

"My foolish younger brother, is this all you have?"

Instead, Ye Xiehong exploited Ye Lin’s soft-heartedness, deliberately letting the Ye family’s soul bodies surround Ye Lin, successfully dealing him a heavy blow and leaving him severely wounded.

"Despicable villain!"

"How can such a beast exist in this world? To actually refine his own relatives into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to use against his own younger brother! He deserves to be struck by lightning!"

"Let’s attack together and help Ye Lin; we absolutely cannot let such a demonic heretic run wild!"

Many cultivators watching the battle wanted to intervene in indignation, but at this moment, the heavily wounded Ye Lin raised his hand.

"I appreciate the kindness of you fellow Daoists, but this is a private matter between me and this guy! He can only die by my hand!"

A flash of firm resolve suddenly appeared in Ye Lin’s eyes.

"For myself, for my relatives of the Ye family, and for everyone present, Ye Xiehong, I must defeat you today!"

"Heh, my foolish younger brother, victory and defeat are not decided by words."

Ye Xiehong held the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, his gaze contemptuous, not taking Ye Lin’s threat seriously at all.

Ye Lin ignored Ye Xiehong’s mockery, slowly closed his eyes, and raised the Life-Severing Sword in his hand.

At this moment, a terrifying sword intent began to gather upon the edge of Ye Lin’s blade.

The instant Ye Lin opened his eyes, that gathered sword intent erupted instantly, brilliant and dazzling, as if cast from gold.

"Ye Xiehong, you don't understand what love is at all!"

"Today, I will definitely defeat you and avenge the hundred-plus members of the Ye family!"

"Blood Sacrifice Sword Art! Heart Sacrifice!"

Ye Lin roared, his eyes turning red, and the Life-Severing Sword in his hand began to tremble incessantly.

He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of heart-blood; the moment the blood landed on the Life-Severing Sword, the blade lit up with a sword glow!

"Ye Xiehong, I want your life!"

Ye Lin gave his all and slashed out with a single sword strike; the terrifying sword intent was enough to make even a Third-Phase Star-Pattern Realm cultivator’s expression change wildly.

Facing this terrifying sword strike, Ye Xiehong showed no intention of dodging or resisting; a meaningful smile hung on his face.

The fatal sword strike pierced straight through Ye Xiehong’s chest!

Everyone saw it clearly: this time, there was no substitute-death technique; Ye Xiehong’s true body had truly taken the strike.

A look of astonishment appeared on Ye Lin’s face.

"Why?!"

"Your sword strike was very cool. Congratulations, you have fulfilled your wish and successfully killed me. The road ahead... you will have to walk it yourself."

Ye Xiehong reached out his arms with a look of relief and pulled Ye Lin, who had dealt him the fatal blow, into an embrace.

Ye Lin’s body trembled incessantly.

"Why? Why would you choose to die?!"

"Because... I love you, my silly younger brother."

A smile of liberation appeared on Ye Xiehong’s face, his body lost all strength, and he collapsed to the ground.

Ye Lin hurriedly pulled his dying brother, who was dressed as a sexy bunny girl, into his arms.

"What nonsense are you spouting! You are clearly a murderous demon; you killed everyone in the Ye family!"

"I killed them to protect you... silly brother, do you know how our parents died? Do you really think the Ye family are good people?"

Ye Xiehong gave a bitter smile.

"Rather than letting you hate this world, it is better that you hate me, your brother, alone..."

Everyone present stretched their necks and pricked up their ears.

Listening to the dialogue between the two brothers, there must be a story of love and hatred hidden within!

"You're lying! My three uncles loved me the most; from childhood to adulthood, I was waited on hand and foot, how could they possibly want to harm me?" Ye Lin was on the verge of a breakdown.

Ye Xiehong sighed faintly.

"I knew you wouldn't believe it. Look for yourself, on your butt, is it not branded with the words 'Fundamental Treasure'?"

Ye Lin’s heart tightened; he retreated several steps, his expression shifting between pale and flushed.

"How could you know about this?"

"Silly brother, do you really think your three uncles loved you? They wanted to turn you into their exclusive plaything!"

Ye Xiehong revealed an earth-shattering secret, leaving everyone present stunned and speechless.

The three uncles wanted to turn their nephew into their exclusive plaything?

They understood every word, yet when combined, it was as incomprehensible as a heavenly scripture.

Ye Lin shook his head repeatedly.

"Impossible! Impossible! You are lying to me!"

"I am about to die, what use would there be in lying to you?"

Ye Xiehong gave a bitter smile.

"In fact, it wasn't just the three uncles; the entire Ye family wanted to turn you into their cauldron to cultivate with you together."

"So, you killed everyone in the Ye family to protect me?" Ye Lin asked in disbelief.

"Not entirely; there is one more reason."

A look of reminiscence appeared on Ye Xiehong’s face.

"Back then, your eldest uncle."

"Gave my world a bad review."

"Stole and ate a college student's takeout."

"Only played as Zhuge Liang when playing the card game."

"Clicked confirm at the very last second every time he played Honor of Kings."

"Never accepted a rematch when playing Naruto, and would even hang for sixty seconds."

"What was even worse was that he would copy resources from other people's computers and delete the original files immediately after."

"I killed him not only to protect you, but more importantly, because he was just too inhuman."

After hearing Ye Xiehong’s words, many people present nodded in deep agreement.

If one could actually do all those things, then they truly deserved to die.

"Then why didn't you tell me the truth back then?!" Ye Lin shouted in a breakdown.

"If I had told you, would you have believed me at the time? Hatred can let you go further."

Ye Xiehong smiled faintly.

"Forgive me, Ye Lin, this is the last time."

Ye Xiehong used his final strength to raise his hand, his blood-stained finger landing on Ye Lin’s brow, and then he wrote two words on his face.

Lai Cai.
