Chapter 2135 - 2136: I’ll Let You Make the First Move
Chapter 2135 - 2136: I’ll Let You Make the First Move
Arrogance, conceitedness—these words have now completely become synonymous with Ye Xunhuan. He entirely disregards everyone at Broken Cliff Residence, treating them with utter contempt.
At this moment, perhaps everyone at Broken Cliff Residence appears to Ye Xunhuan merely as weak and powerless, utterly incapable of resistance!
As soon as Ye Xunhuan’s words fell, a cold hum resonated in the air: "Aren’t you afraid your tongue might get caught by the wind!"
In the next moment, an elderly man with silver hair but a rosy complexion descended like a gentle breeze.
The old man wore traditional Chinese attire, exuding a mystical aura. Despite his age, he showed none of the frailty typical of the elderly; he appeared vigorous, as if in his prime.
The old man’s eyes, seasoned by time, were presently sharp like the gaze of a Hai Dongqing, menacingly fierce!
Scanning Ye Xunhuan, Olivia, and Ye Fanchen, he coldly remarked: "Ye Fanchen, do you think you can leave because of him?"
Ye Fanchen’s face turned incredibly serious upon the old man’s arrival.
He knew this man was even harder to deal with than Gongsun Jing!
If it weren’t for his disinterest in conflict, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he’s second to none among the protectors.
This implies just how powerful the old man is.
Ye Fanchen’s concern stemmed from this old man. If Gongsun Jing were the only one present, it wouldn’t be difficult for Ye Xunhuan to claim Broken Cliff Residence.
But with this old man here, everything is uncertain.
Ye Fanchen took a deep breath and said gravely, "Ancient Saint, you’ve finally decided to show yourself!"
Ancient Saint!
Renowned over twenty years ago, a main force against the Evil Monarch, and one of the few capable of challenging the Evil Monarch.
Many years have passed, with Ancient Saint isolated at Broken Cliff Residence, refining his skills. No one knows his current strength.
However, from his ethereal demeanor, it’s evident he is no weakling.
Now, Ancient Saint’s presence halts all surrounding carnage, yet the oppressive killing intent remains like a looming shadow!
Olivia’s face turned grim upon hearing the name Ancient Saint, clearly recognizing him!
Rightfully so, since Olivia, a blood clansman and former underground world leader over twenty years ago, might not have faced the Evil Monarch directly, but she’s far from ignorant.
She knew much, including about Ancient Saint!
A terrifying figure, especially skilled in his Heartless Blade!
According to Olivia, Ancient Saint created a blade technique akin to a demonic blade.
When he initially crafted this technique, Ancient Saint’s son insisted on testing its might, pulling Ancient Saint along, only for Ancient Saint to lose control and cut his son to pieces with one slash!
Since then, Ancient Saint became silent and withdrawn, akin to a recluse, locking himself in his world, speaking to no one!
Averse to conflict.
Though he used the Heartless Blade against the Evil Monarch, rumor had it the Evil Monarch shattered it with a sword; Olivia didn’t know the veracity.
Regardless of tales, Ancient Saint is indeed formidable.
Olivia presumed Ancient Saint dead, linked with the disappearance of any Evil Monarch news, leading her, and others, to believe Ancient Saint died atop Mount Tai!
Little did they know, Ancient Saint was at Broken Cliff Residence, secluded for over twenty years.
If Ye Xunhuan hadn’t come to Broken Cliff Residence, no one would have realized Ancient Saint was alive!
News of Ancient Saint’s survival would create quite a stir, given his terrifying Heartless Blade, with many eager to learn it!
"Ye Fanchen, you must banish all distractions to live another ten or twenty years!" Ancient Saint said emotionlessly, "Now, you must die!"
Ye Fanchen, steadfast, said slowly, "Ancient Saint, life and death matter little to me; leaving today is fortune, dying is destiny!"
At that moment, Ye Fanchen seemed indifferent to life and death, wholly unconcerned.
"I don’t wish to kill you," Ancient Saint said, "Old friends are scarce, and you’re one of them!"
"Yet your actions today mandate your demise!"
Ancient Saint sighed slightly.
Suddenly, Ye Xunhuan spoke, "To kill him, you must first confront me!"
Always aware of Ye Xunhuan, Ancient Saint now eyed him, speaking moderately, "You resemble someone!"
"You possess an arrogant spirit, fresh yet brittle." Ancient Saint spoke lightly, "Imagine, witnessing a prodigy fall by my hand—a fine gift for my life’s end, perhaps!"
Though Ye Xunhuan is arrogant, not regarding anyone at Broken Cliff Residence, Ancient Saint equally dismisses Ye Xunhuan.
The intensity in Ye Xunhuan’s eyes surged, turning his presence into a fierce tiger, exuding a soul-stirring aura.
Unfazed by Ye Xunhuan’s chilling aura, Ancient Saint remained unchanged, his expression constant.
"Go first," Ancient Saint said, slowly staring at Ye Xunhuan.
Upon hearing, Ye Xunhuan’s eyes shone, gripping his sword tightly!
Ye Xunhuan’s right hand moved subtly, then rushing at Ancient Saint, sword in hand, like a leopard!
Unfoolish, Ye Xunhuan grasped the advantage of striking first, hence acted swiftly!
Ye Xunhuan reached Ancient Saint, his sword flashed like lightning before him!
"Hiss!"
Swiftly brandishing the sword, fierce winds swept from the blade, like countless icy blades, toward Ancient Saint.
