If anyone else faced Ye Xunhuan's sword descending from the heavens, they would surely be frightened to the point of losing their composure, not knowing what to do.

But not Qi Tiansheng. He reacted instantly, dodging to the side.

Ye Xunhuan's sword strike was incredibly fast and fierce, leaving him no chance to block. Even if he managed to block it, Ye Xunhuan could just kick him away.

The best course of action right now is to dodge!

Although Qi Tiansheng made the right choice, he underestimated the speed of Ye Xunhuan's sword!

"Swish!"

Qi Tiansheng had just dodged when Ye Xunhuan's sword descended!

"Thud!"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing bone rang out, and Qi Tiansheng's right arm, which held his sword, was severed at the shoulder by Ye Xunhuan, with crimson blood gushing out like a fountain.

The intense pain caused Qi Tiansheng to immediately let out a pained howl!

The next moment, Ye Xunhuan's right leg swung up violently, kicking forcefully at Qi Tiansheng's chest!

"Bang!"

Ye Xunhuan's foot landed on Qi Tiansheng's chest, with immense force, kicking him away once more.

"Crash!"

A dull thud sounded again as Qi Tiansheng slammed hard onto the ground.

At this moment, Qi Tiansheng's face turned pale like paper, his body trembling slightly, a strong sense of unease and fear evident on his face and in his eyes!

"You... what is your real strength?" Qi Tiansheng's voice was quivering with fear: "This definitely isn't the power of an extreme realm, absolutely not!"

Qi Tiansheng had been meticulously nurtured by the Qi family, reaching the extreme realm. Though he hadn't reached its peak, he understood its power. Moreover, the Qi family had top experts of the extreme realm, and Qi Tiansheng had sparred with them, not in a life-and-death manner, but he knew the ways of the extreme realm.

Ye Xunhuan looked at Qi Tiansheng calmly: "Haven't you already figured it out?"

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Qi Tiansheng seemed to suffer a huge blow, his nerves fraying at this moment: "Impossible, impossible, how could you reach that realm, impossible..."

"Nothing is impossible!" Ye Xunhuan said blandly, "In the underground world, you might reach it too!"

Born into an ancient martial arts family, Qi Tiansheng lived a blessed life, nurtured by the Qi family's efforts, rising smoothly.

However, this also had its downsides.

That being a lack of real combat experience and teetering on the brink of life and death.

Ye Xunhuan didn't have the same favorable conditions as Qi Tiansheng. Previously, he relied a little on his master, but after his master's death, he had to rely solely on himself.

In the underground world, he had to rely entirely on himself.

He crawled out from the midst of corpses, often dancing on the edge of death, constantly dipping a foot into hell, with his head hanging by his side, fighting enemies!

Under such circumstances, how could Qi Tiansheng possibly compare to Ye Xunhuan?

Not to mention Ye Xunhuan being stronger, even with equal strength, Ye Xunhuan could kill Qi Tiansheng.

After all, Ye Xunhuan progressed steadily to his current position, while Qi Tiansheng relied on the Qi family's nurturing.

It's like a flower under a greenhouse and one often subjected to storms—who has stronger survivability is evident.

"Alright, you can die now!"

As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan raised his sharp sword, ready to decapitate Qi Tiansheng.

Seeing the sword coming towards him, Qi Tiansheng's face was filled with unwillingness.

He didn't want to die; he was still young, with a future ahead.

But now he knew Ye Xunhuan wouldn't spare him.

Ye Xunhuan knew of his potential; sparing him would leave a time bomb for himself!

Not just Ye Xunhuan, he would also eradicate danger in its infancy.

"No..."

Facing the sword bearing the intention to kill, Qi Tiansheng let out a hysterical shout of unwillingness.

But Ye Xunhuan didn't stop due to Qi Tiansheng's cries!

As Ye Xunhuan's sword was about to fall on Qi Tiansheng's neck, a black light, like black lightning, suddenly attacked from the southeast direction.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

The black light pierced through the air, carrying a fierce wind, hitting the blade of Ye Xunhuan's sword, forcing it away!

This sudden change made Ye Xunhuan's heart jolt sharply!

"Who is it?"

Ye Xunhuan's face slowly revealed a grave expression.

He hadn't noticed anyone in the dark.

If the person hadn't suddenly acted, Ye Xunhuan might not have detected it even upon departure.

Qi Tiansheng was dumbstruck; he thought he was doomed, but there was an unexpected twist with a hidden expert intervening at the crucial moment to stop Ye Xunhuan.

For a moment, Qi Tiansheng's face was filled with excitement.

No one wants to die if they can survive, and he was no exception.

The next moment, a dignified and deep voice suddenly resonated in mid-air: "Marshal, him, you can't kill!"

"Cowardly scoundrel, will you show yourself or must I invite you out!" Ye Xunhuan said coldly.

"Marshal, I know you have the ability to force me out, but I advise against it!" The hidden person spoke nonchalantly: "I have no intention of being your enemy!"

"You are already my enemy!"

"Marshal, he is destined to become a protector of the nation, you cannot kill him!" the hidden person emphatically said: "Let him leave!"

"No one can stop me from killing those I intend to kill."

With that, Ye Xunhuan raised his sword again, poised to slash at Qi Tiansheng, wanting to take his life.

"Marshal, you dare!" the hidden person's voice immediately turned enraged!

Ye Xunhuan seemed deaf to the person's words, his sword slashing out even faster than before.

Just as Ye Xunhuan's sword was about to strike, a black figure, like a phantom, suddenly appeared from a corner of an unfinished building, swiftly moving towards Ye Xunhuan.

In a flash, the person reached Ye Xunhuan, ready to grab his shoulder.

But the next moment, Ye Xunhuan's sword, which was aimed at Qi Tiansheng, suddenly shifted, slashing towards the person who appeared!
