Chapter 262: Killing and Breaking Hearts, Li Qingqing Has Escaped!

Buchuan Xiongzhao was driven mad with rage.

"Boom!"

Especially as Ye Bai surged forward, thrusting out with his spear.

Although Buchuan Xiongzhao raised his Samurai Sword at the very first moment.

And at this time, he was still under the buff of the 【Blood Shikigami】, with combat power sufficient to rival the most ordinary Martial King Late-Stage powerhouse.

His entire person was still sent flying by Ye Bai's spear strike!

Ye Bai was fighting while nearly crossing a major rank, and even now, it was still a crushing victory!

"Puchi, puchi!" Next, in pursuit of efficiency, Ye Bai did not chase after the sent-flying Buchuan Xiongzhao, but instead locked onto another nearby Ninja.

The long spear thrust out crazily.

That Sixth-Rank Peak Stage Ninja was even more pathetic in the face of Ye Bai at this moment.

With no ability to fight back to speak of, in the blink of an eye, his body was covered in bloody holes!

He lost his combat capability!

"No, I must survive!"

The hatred in Buchuan Xiongzhao's heart for Apollo and the Great Heaven Kingdom grew even deeper.

He was going to escape!

But before escaping, he also swore that he would not let these prodigies of the Great Heaven Kingdom have an easy time!

"Boom!"

He activated another Secret Technique.

This time, the Blood Shikigami, which had already absorbed seventy percent of his blood, defied logic and once again drained the blood from within his body, even including his physical flesh!

The Blood Shikigami turned solid bit by bit, and its aura became increasingly terrifying.

In an instant, it reached the Seven-Rank Mid-Stage category of Buchuan Xiongzhao, and as Buchuan Xiongzhao's figure turned into fly ash, it stepped even more thoroughly into the Seven-Rank Late-Stage realm!

"Puchi!"

One slash.

A Great Heaven Kingdom prodigy was sliced into two halves.

"Puchi, puchi!"

Slash after slash.

One after another, the prodigies of the Great Heaven Kingdom died!

Ye Bai...

He, of course, did not care about the deaths of the Great Heaven Kingdom prodigies.

"A Secret Technique that sacrifices oneself?

What a pity..."

Not knowing that Buchuan Xiongzhao had already escaped using a Tishin Kuilei, he only regretted that this Ninja leader, Buchuan Xiongzhao, had actually died.

But it was not a big problem; the few Ninjas present had been staying with Buchuan Xiongzhao all along and also knew about Li Qingqing's situation.

"Puchi, puchi!"

He therefore locked directly onto the other few Ninjas present.

The God-Slaying Spear in his hand thrust out crazily.

Afterimages vanished and condensed.

Even that sole Seven-Rank Early-Stage Ninja did not last long before being defeated under Ye Bai's hand!

Even.

"Mr. Ye Bai, save me, save me!"

Soon, on the Shikigami's side, because of its unstoppable combat power, the Great Heaven Kingdom prodigies it killed—even without needing to fight the few Ninjas anymore—soon only had two Sixth-Rank Peak small fries left.

And these two small fries, because Ye Bai had "saved" Apollo and defeated so many Ninjas, also believed what Buchuan Xiongzhao said—that Ye Bai was one of their own—and were currently begging Ye Bai for help.

"Classmate Zhu Huang, please block them!

Also, that monster's power is about to dissipate; if they can survive, please finish them off with a few strikes and kill them!"

Ye Bai, who was still fighting the last Ninja, did not even look at the two prodigies running toward him, and spoke directly to Zhu Huang!

"Okay!"

Zhu Huang agreed without hesitation.

Four earthen mountains rose up, centered on the two Great Heaven Kingdom prodigies.

Trapping them together with the Blood Shikigami inside!

"This?!"

"Ye Bai, isn't he a helper for the Great Heaven Kingdom?!"

At this moment, the remaining prodigies of the Great Heaven Kingdom were in despair.

It was impossible for the few Ninjas not to be stunned.

They knew that Buchuan Xiongzhao had escaped, and they knew how much hatred was in Buchuan Xiongzhao's heart; they had also prepared themselves to sacrifice for the future of the Great Sun.

But now??

"What does our sacrifice count for?"

"And what does Buchuan Xiongzhao's hatred count for?!"

But the most stunned moment was yet to come.

"Plop!" Ye Bai finished off the last Ninja at this moment.

Several heavily injured Ninjas lay together with Buchuan Neiku.

"I ask, you answer!"

"Whoever speaks bird-talk, dies!"

Ye Bai walked over and said directly, "Where is the Great Xia female prodigy you captured not long ago?!"

Silence.

Upon hearing this, several Ninja fell into silence, having thoroughly understood the purpose of Ye Bai's appearance here!

Their expressions shifted through a variety of emotions: complex, remorseful, incredulous, and sighing.

Only the word "spectacular" could describe it!

"Boom!" Especially since Ye Bai was incredibly anxious, he sent one Ninja to the afterlife with a single thrust of his spear.

"Quick, quickly answer Lord Ye Bai..."

"After Lord Ye Bai finds that woman, w-we still have hope of living..." Buchuan Neiku, who had always been clear about Ye Bai's goal, spoke in an extremely weak voice.

He still felt he had a hope of surviving.

"We also want to tell Ye Bai where that woman is!

The problem is that what we caught was only her Tishin Kuilei!!"

The Seventh Grade Ninja could no longer hold it together and cried out.

They had thought they were sacrificing themselves for the future of Great Sun, but it turned out this disaster stemmed from one woman; one could imagine what the Great Sun Remnant Faction would face once Buchuan Xiongzhao and Apollo both got out alive.

The key was that they had never caught Li Qingqing; they had just been played by Li Qingqing!

"Huh?!"

"Qingqing is fine?!" Ye Bai's eyes finally lit up.

"Of course she's fine..."

The lead Ninja was even more beyond tears.

"No, that's not right, there's still a chance!" Then, thinking that they had no actual enmity with Ye Bai, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes again.

As long as they could get Ye Bai to let them go, they could go find Buchuan Xiongzhao and explain the truth.

Then, at any cost, kill Apollo and everyone who might know about Apollo's experience.

The Great Sun Remnant Faction in the outside world would still be that same Great Sun Remnant Faction!

If they were lucky enough to obtain the Martial Saint Inheritance.

The former will of Great Sun could also descend upon this High Martial World once more!

It was just that...

"Alright, I wronged you." Ye Bai realized the Ninja were not lying; the stone that had been hanging in his heart dropped, and the madness in his eyes faded away.

"Boom!"

Yet, before the few Ninja could propose a reconciliation with Ye Bai.

Ye Bai backhanded his spear and was the first to pierce the unsuspecting Seventh Grade Ninja into a Blood Mist.

"Ye Bai, what are you doing?!"

"We didn't do anything to your Great Xia prodigy, why are you still killing?!"

The remaining Martial Artists were astonished, furious, and questioned him.

"Oh, so what?"

Ye Bai didn't even have the interest to explain to them.

With another thrust, he turned a Ninja into a Blood Mist!

Letting them go to the Yellow Springs filled with stifled anger and resentment was the only way to be worthy of the power Ye Bai now possessed!

Not a few seconds later.

Of the Ninja from the Great Sun Remnant Faction on this trip, only Buchuan Neiku and Buchuan Xiongzhao remained!

"L-Lord Ye Bai, you cannot kill me..."

"You promised me, you wouldn't kill me..."

Buchuan Neiku had witnessed the whole process, his heart full of fear; despite being incredibly weak, his voice was much louder.

And facing Buchuan Neiku, Ye Bai did say a few more words.

"First of all, what I said was, you lead me to find Qingqing, and I will spare your life.

But did you lead me to find Qingqing? No."

"Secondly, even if you had led me to her, I only said I wouldn't do it myself; that doesn't mean classmate Zhu Huang will let you off, so actually, you still have to die."

"Boom!" Then, one spear thrust sent Buchuan Neiku on his way.

Before this Ninja died, his eyes were wider than they had ever been.

Shocked, furious, and desperate.

Killing the body and destroying the heart...

Dying with eyes wide open in resentment!!
