Chapter 1653: Pitiable person!

Blood burst and splattered in the arena!

Several Qin Clan disciples had just attacked, but they didn't even have time before their corpses fell into the void.

And Yang Xuan hadn't even drawn his spirit sword!

Qin Kaiyang's face turned grim as he stared fixedly at Yang Xuan, like a hawk eyeing its prey, wishing he could devour Yang Xuan raw and strip him alive.

You little beast!

He uttered each word with a pause, speaking to Yang Xuan.

Those words almost burst from the gaps between his teeth!

He never imagined Yang Xuan's combat power could reach such a level!

The Qin Clan disciples he brought were all from the main line; though they couldn't be called top-tier, they were still of upper-middle caliber.

But they lost just like that?

Jian Tianye, meanwhile, watched the scene with leisurely amusement.

"Clap clap clap!"

He lightly clapped his hands, very pleased with Yang Xuan.

At this point, the Grand Sect already had many divine senses covertly probing.

They too were greatly shocked by Yang Xuan's performance.

You should know that Jian Tianye's departure from the Grand Sect is no longer a secret, after all, the incident in the Azure Cloud Star Sea has blown up.

That's why Qin Kaiyang came here to block the road.

A few years ago, Qin Kaiyang's projection descended upon the Azure Cloud Star Sea, only to suffer a defeat at Jian Tianye's hands.

It's all because of this sword-cultivating youth before us!

Who would have thought that, after several years, this youth has grown to this extent?

Some elders of the Dao Fruit Realm who knew the inside story secretly shook their heads, sighing, "What a pity, what a pity!"

The stronger this youth's talent and sword intent, the more he'll ultimately become just a Dao Fruit for Jian Tianye!

I wonder if he'll feel utter despair when he learns of this.

"His name is Xuan Yang, right?"

Xuan Yang, who died at Jian Tianye's hand, is neither the first nor the last.

The arena fell into utter silence.

Qin Kaiyang gritted his teeth, "You little wretch, you don't think you're that strong, do you? You're pitiful, utterly pitiful—do you even know that?"

His original intention was to slay Xuan Yang.

Not let him become Jian Tianye's Dao Fruit!

Even in death, he must not allow Jian Tianye to gain any advantage!

But he never expected to lose!

Yang Xuan simply sneered, "Old fogey, I've remembered you. You already have a death sentence!"

As soon as those words were spoken, Qin Kaiyang froze.

The powerful beings observing from the shadows were also stunned.

A mere Dao Fruit Realm cultivator dares to threaten a Dao Fruit Realm?

What's the difference between this and a mortal threatening a deity?

Even Jian Tianye felt a ripple of amusement.

His heart secretly thought, "Child, you won't live to see that day. If you had the strength to slay Qin Kaiyang, that would mean you could slay me. Before that day arrives, you'll already be dead."

At that moment, many elders and disciples of Jian Tianye's lineage were also covertly watching this scene.

Senior Sister Liu Qingqing, her lovely face showing a hint of shock, glanced at the junior brothers beside her and said, "This time the master brought back a disciple who's anything but ordinary."

Her heaving bosom felt a deep shock.

She and the junior brothers beside her all knew their fate.

They were selected to become Jian Tianye's Dao Fruit!

So now they spend each day in despair, without any hope.

Resistance?

How could they possibly resist Jian Tianye!

But they saw a kind of hope in Yang Xuan.

This youth is too fierce!

Beside them, a middle-aged man with a dim gaze suddenly had light flash in his eyes, "Is his name Xuan Yang?"

"Exactly right! Senior Brother Wang Heng, you're correct."

Several people immediately perked up.

Jian Tianye's Dao Grounds operate on this tradition.

After the Grand Elder had his Dao Fruit devoured and his body and Dao vanished, the succeeding elders moved up to become the Grand Elder.

After the Senior Sister had her Dao Fruit devoured, the succeeding senior sisters moved up to become the Senior Sister.

The same goes for the Senior Brother.

Liu Qingqing and Wang Heng have already witnessed countless elders and disciples turning into Dao Fruit!

"This time, this junior disciple called Xuan Yang seems somewhat different."

Yang Xuan shocked them.

Even the deep recesses of their long-dormant new-recruit intake have shown a hint of movement.

Perhaps Xuan Yang will have a chance in the future?

Everyone turned their gaze toward Yang Xuan.

They saw that Yang Xuan seemed to possess a terrifying obsession.

Life-and-death obsession!

This is what a sword cultivator truly is!

At this moment, Qin Kaiyang, deep inside, a thumb, merely uttered two words: "ants."

He simply did not take Yang Xuan's words to heart.

A mere Dao Lord Realm, and you think you can overturn the heavens?

Qin Kaiyang felt he had heard the biggest joke of his life; he turned and left, and a threatening statement drifted in the void.

"Xuan Yang, from now on my Qin family disciples will kill you as easily as killing an ant. You had better keep your heart in your throat."

Yang Xuan did not speak.

Jian Tianye patted Yang Xuan's shoulder, "Rest assured. The sect rules are here; his Qin family members dare not openly send strong cultivators against you. The Qin family still cares about face."

Yang Xuan: "……"

Doesn't this mean that, secretly, the Qin family is likely to be unscrupulous?

Jian Tianye seemed to see what Yang Xuan was thinking, "Relax. I won't let you fall easily."

This is indeed his innermost thought!

Soon.

Jian Tianye brought Yang Xuan, and under the watch of many divine senses, stepped into his own Daoist's dojo.

His Daoist's dojo domain is vast, extremely broad, internally self-contained as a space, even containing more than ten stars.

Here not only is his cultivation ground, but also the sole forbidden zone.

Other places are where the elders and disciples of his lineage cultivate.

Amidst the starry sky, the sword resonance is extremely rich.

Hiss—hiss—hiss—hiss—hiss—hiss!

Numerous sword cries rang out, exceptionally clear, surging in the air.

Streams of sword qi surged like rivers in the void, their momentum immensely grand!

Yang Xuan sensed many powerful auras.

Dao Fruit Realm, Dao Transformation Realm, Dao Fusion Realm...

Each of those is enough to erase his existence in a single thought.

But he was not panicked.

His master is here!

Jian Tianye immediately sent a mental message to Liu Qingqing, "Liu Qingqing, come over."

Liu Qingqing's lovely body trembled; Jian Tianye's voice made her feel fear.

She immediately leapt into the air, flew on her sword, arrived before Jian Tianye, and respectfully bowed, "Greetings, Master."

She secretly observed Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a dignified bearing, and seemed to carry the youthful inexperience of one unversed in the world, as well as the upright spine of a sword cultivator.

His appearance reminded Liu Qingqing of the scene when she first descended upon this Daoist's dojo.

At this very moment, it was exactly like that time then.

Back then she was also dazed, excited and stimulated; she came from a declining ancient Dao lineage, was chosen by Jian Tianye, felt she could go far on the sword path, and bring her fallen lineage back to rise again.

But after she became Senior Sister, she learned the truth of people devouring each other.

She despaired.

Once, there was also a senior brother who took her place and welcomed her.

But now, he has long been dead.
