In his heart, Ye Xunhuan didn't want to be enemies with the Guoqizhe either; after all, the Guoqizhe were too powerful, provoking them was definitely not a wise move.

But now, Ye Xunhuan obviously had no better choice.

If Qi Tiansheng were to escape, he would definitely retaliate later, especially since Ye Xunhuan had severed one of his arms.

This enmity would be impossible for Qi Tiansheng not to avenge, even if Qi Tiansheng could let it go, would the Qi family let it go?

So Qi Tiansheng had to die, even if it meant confronting the Guoqizhe directly today, he had to kill Qi Tiansheng.

The man's face immediately darkened upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's arrogant words, and a chilling gleam of light flickered in his piercing eyes.

"Marshal, you are too arrogant!" the man said icily, "Today, I will show you what it means 'beyond the heavens, there are more heavens; beyond people, there are more people!'"

As his words fell, a chilling and sharp killing aura rose from the man, his whole demeanor becoming as sharp as an unsheathed sword.

In the next moment, the man moved; though tens of meters apart, he seemed to cross the distance to Ye Xunhuan in just one step, his right hand like a ghostly hand emerging from hell, executing a fierce attack towards Ye Xunhuan's chest!

This man was the kind who, when he made a move, would do so lethally.

It wasn't that the opponent wanted to fight Ye Xunhuan to the death, but he also had no choice at this moment.

Ye Xunhuan's relentless pressure left him no choice but to strike, while Ye Xunhuan being the marshal possessed terrifying power.

Moreover, he had secretly observed Ye Xunhuan's battle with Qi Tiansheng earlier and could clearly see that Ye Xunhuan hadn't used all his strength!

With Ye Xunhuan being the marshal of the underground, he obviously had climbed out of a pile of the dead, his combat experience must be very rich; if he underestimated him, or took a careless approach against Ye Xunhuan, he would most likely suffer.

This made the opponent's first move a lethal strike, immediately aiming to end Ye Xunhuan's life!

The force behind this man's grab was considerable, and the sudden wind lashed out fiercely.

In the face of this fierce grab, Ye Xunhuan sneered, his left foot slightly moving aside, skillfully avoiding the opponent's attack.

The man seemed to have already guessed that Ye Xunhuan could escape his grab unharmed and immediately spread his fingers apart, with a tense hand forming a knife, his body suddenly spinning, delivering a swift hand strike towards Ye Xunhuan.

Seeing this scene, a hint of disdain slowly spread across Ye Xunhuan's lips; he really couldn't decide if this man was foolish, too arrogant, or simply blind. Couldn't he see the blade in Ye Xunhuan's right hand?

The next moment, Ye Xunhuan's right hand suddenly rotated, then slashed out.

An old saying goes, "No matter how good your kung fu is, you still fear the kitchen knife." As Ye Xunhuan swung the blade in his hand, the man's face changed dramatically, and he immediately retracted his hand, quickly dodging to the side.

Just as the man retreated, the sword in Ye Xunhuan's hand suddenly shone brightly, like a meteor swiftly falling from the sky, extraordinarily dazzling!

"Whoosh!"

A longsword, several meters long, abruptly appeared in mid-air, slashing heavily toward the man.

Watching the several-meter-long sword, the man's pupils instantly contracted, and a foreboding feeling suddenly arose in his heart!

"Crash!"

"Crack!"

The several-meter-long sword descended powerfully like fallen timber, crashing into the ground, causing the entire area to explode and even the ground seemed to tremble slightly.

Facing the falling sword, the man hurriedly used his strength to form a protective aura, trying to block Ye Xunhuan's mighty sword!

"Crack!"

As the sword fell, it felt like something shattered, an ear-piercing sound immediately resonating around, followed by the sight of the man flying backward!

"Clang!"

The man crashed heavily on the ground, blood gushing from his mouth.

The crimson blood splattered on the ground, looking particularly glaring.

For a moment, the man's face was filled with disbelief, his eyes filled with unparalleled shock: "The White-Headed Supreme Classic, you... you actually know the White-Headed Supreme Classic..."

Earlier, during the battle between Ye Xunhuan and Qi Tiansheng, the man felt that Ye Xunhuan's swordsmanship seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember it at the time.

Now, personally experiencing it, he finally recalled this was a sword move from the White-Headed Supreme Classic, presumably the Taixuan Guiyi Sword Slash!

"What do you think?" Ye Xunhuan looked at the man on the ground, speaking lightly.

"This is Kunlun's sect-guarding cultivation technique, long lost, how do you know, who taught you?"

The man spoke as if realizing something, a trace of fear slowly surfaced on his face: "Could it be... could it be that person didn't die, you... you are his descendant..."

The person the man referred to was naturally the taboo of the Guoqizhe—the Evil Lord!

Back then, only the Evil Lord had mastered the White-Headed Supreme Classic to perfection, and it was because of the Evil Lord that the classic was lost!

Now it appeared in Ye Xunhuan's hands, this made the man immediately think of the Evil Lord twenty years ago!

"I don't know the Evil Lord you speak of!" Ye Xunhuan said calmly, "But since you've recognized the White-Headed Supreme Classic, I can't let you live today!"

The White-Headed Supreme Classic is the sect-guarding treasure of Kunlun, and Kunlun had already sent people looking for Ye Xunhuan, though he never told them he understood the complete classic.

Now being recognized by this Guoqizhe, if allowed to live, news of him knowing the White-Headed Supreme Classic would certainly spread, and all of the Guoqizhe would know it, possibly even reaching Kunlun.

By then, Ye Xunhuan would find no peace, so today, even though this person was a Guoqizhe, Ye Xunhuan had to kill!

He wanted to once and for all remove any hidden troubles.

What might happen if the Guoqizhe found out later was a concern for the future, at least for now, he could live in peace.

Moreover, if Ye Xunhuan handled it cleanly, who could suspect him?

Furthermore, wasn't the White-Headed Supreme Classic a part of Kunlun? Wasn't it incomplete?

Then he would use the sword moves from the White-Headed Supreme Classic to kill, by then the Evil Lord should take the blame for it, right?

By then, the entire Guoqizhe would probably be in chaos, right?

After all, the pressure brought by the Evil Lord was too great, if he appeared again, and even killed a member of the Guoqizhe, all of them would likely not be able to stay calm!

By then, who would think of Ye Xunhuan?
