"Alright, finally some peace and quiet. I can finally get some rest, and no one will bother him now!"

Ye Yang, having done all this, returned to his calm demeanor. In his view, he would meet soldiers with generals and water with earth, killing however many came, leaving none alive.

"No, don't kill me!" The moment the opponent completely disappeared, a special aura stirred in a distant place.

In a secret chamber within the Ye Family's Hall of Law Enforcement, a disciple responsible for guarding this important place was closely watching the tokens before him.

Crack!

In the darkness, a crisp sound was particularly jarring. At first, only one token shattered, representing the fall of a strong individual. But then a second, and by the time the seventh one broke, he completely panicked.

"What's going on? Could something big be happening? These are all top-notch individuals, elites among elites. This has never happened before, not since the last time."

The disciple on guard, seeing this scene, felt his brain explode and he froze in place.

He thought to himself, "No, I have to tell the Grand Elder of Law Enforcement about this, or I'll be in trouble when he finds out!"

Without time to think, an idea suddenly appeared in his mind. After confirming the evidence, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared.

The Hall of Law Enforcement was brightly lit. A man was concentrating on circulating energy through his body, when the sudden intrusion of another man shattered the peace!

"Grand Elder, something bad has happened! The Soul Lamps of the people we sent out have gone out. There's definitely a problem; they've been silenced!"

A man rushed in, extremely nervous, blurting out the news without thinking.

Although he had prepared himself mentally, having learned from the previous experience, he was still greatly shocked by the sudden extinguishing of seven Soul Lamps.

You see, they were the Grand Elder's hidden hands, handling many things that couldn't be dealt with openly. They were all managed by the Dark Guard Unit.

Each person had no name, only a code name. Even so, they had no intention or thought of betrayal.

Each one was a super warrior, tempered and hardened through countless battles, capable of carrying out missions alone, and even establishing a small sect.

It was just unfortunate that they encountered Ye Yang, a monster who couldn't be judged by ordinary standards. Their legend had been shattered, and their peace had been disturbed.

Seeing this situation, Ye Wushuang's mood was also very complicated. In a word, a wildfire cannot destroy them; they return with the spring breeze.

He only blamed himself for his momentary benevolence, letting the opponent off the hook, which led to this great mistake.

It was too late to say anything now. The matter had already occurred, and he could only think of ways to resolve it.

"Enough, I already know. Don't worry, I have my own arrangements. Aren't there other safeguards? Let's wait and see."

Ye Wushuang's mood was very complicated. He had directly plotted to frame Ye Yang, and even called his fiancée, Liu Wushuang, over to start a wonderful drama.

As a result, the kid slapped him in the face, directly embarrassing him and causing him to lose face. From the beginning, he had resented him, not hiding his murderous intent.

"With great rewards, brave men will come forward. I hope you don't disappoint me."

Ye Wushuang knew all of this. Only after sending the man away did he return to his cold demeanor.

"Idiot, I told you not to be impulsive. The opponent's methods are endless, beyond our imagination. Don't make useless sacrifices before you thoroughly understand and investigate, understand?"

Along the way, they encountered several assassinations, but Ye Yang quickly resolved them with thunderous means.

With great rewards, brave men will come forward. Some people didn't believe in this evil and wanted to take the lead, but the first bird gets shot, and they died miserably.

Over time, his reputation as Asura, the God of Slaughter, had spread throughout the entire martial world. Before killing him, everyone had to weigh their options. When gnawing on this hard bone, did they have the strength? Otherwise, they wouldn't get any meat, but instead break their teeth, covered in blood!

The setting sun was like blood, and the road was full of murderous intent!

"Here they come again? Don't you guys learn?"

Wave after wave came, like a tide. As soon as the ones in front were dealt with, the ones behind followed, vowing not to give up until they reached their goal.

"Damn it, who leaked the information? I thought I was flawless. Could I have fallen into the enemy's trap from the beginning?"

The night was as dark as ink. Ye Yang stood in front of an abandoned ancient temple, the moonlight shining through the broken tiles, dappling his body and coating him with a layer of silver.

"Forget it, what's coming will always come. Let's find a place to rest. This journey has been too tiring."

Ye Yang understood a principle: what's coming will always come. You can't hide from it. Rather than being passive, it's better to be proactive and think positively. Maybe there will be a different result.

"Everyone, be careful. Don't make any mistakes. This is our last chance. As long as he passes through here, it will be a bright future. It will be difficult to find trouble with him then."

After crossing several mountains and rivers, the wide road was right in front of him.

"Come on, you can do it!"

At this time, Ye Yang had also perked up and decided to rest here, but he was once again caught in the opponent's fight.

"Everyone, be careful, understand? Don't be impulsive. Act according to my instructions."

"Brother, don't worry. Your brothers understand what you mean. We have laid a net, and this time he can't escape."

"That's right, we have set up many traps. How can he leave? Unless he directly defeats us, there is no other way."

Around him, dozens of shadows quietly approached, the blades in their hands flashing coldly in the night, like a pack of hungry wolves preparing to launch a final siege.

They directly surrounded him. When the target took the bait, they finally stopped pretending and expressed their true intentions.

"Your kid, give us your life! We've been watching you for a long time. This is the only chance. Are you going to surrender yourself, or do you want us to do it?"

With one breath, two efforts, and three failures, at this moment, their momentum was like a rainbow. It could be said that they were full of confidence, and their combat power had reached its peak.

Everyone showed a wolf-like expression, led by one of the men. With a wave of his hand, everyone formed a battle formation and surrounded Ye Yang.

"What, are you never going to end this? Even a cornered rabbit bites. Are you testing my patience? If anyone wants to try, feel free to step forward."

Ye Yang's gaze was as cold as a knife. He slowly raised his hand, lightly flicking his fingers. It seemed as if some invisible force was surging in the air.

Being merciful to enemies is being cruel to oneself. Everyone understands this simple truth, but how many can actually do it?

At this moment, he showed no fear in the face of these people's threats, but instead revealed an expectant expression. You have your ladder to climb the wall, and I have my own Zhang Liang plan. In short, when narrow roads meet, the brave win. Just go for it.

"Boy, this time you don't know how to appreciate favors. We didn't want to bully the weak with our numbers, but since you don't care and continue to humiliate us, don't blame us for being impolite."

They thought he was a talent, appreciating that he had some strength and skill, so they gave him one last chance, but it was wasted.

"Enough nonsense. There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? If you want to fight, then fight."

In an instant, the ground beneath the shadows' feet suddenly exploded, and sharp rocks, like sharp arrows, instantly pierced their bodies. Blood splattered, and wails arose.

"Boy, I didn't even say start, and you've already taken down a large group. What are you trying to do? Looking down on me?"

He didn't care about the safety of his subordinates, but instead, for the sake of his so-called face, he was indignant here. It was just a joke when facing Ye Yang.

"Boy, stop being arrogant, give me your life!"

What awaited him was an attack as seamless as a net of blades and swords, instantly engulfing Ye Yang.

A quarter of an hour later…

"Good, we were just warming up. It's rare to meet an evenly matched opponent. Could he be dead?"

The scene fell into an eerie silence, and their target had long since disappeared, as if he had never appeared at all.

"You guys are too slow. Are you looking for me?"

A faint voice rang out, dreamlike and illusory, seeming real and yet not. By the time they reacted!

"Who's pretending to be a ghost?" They only saw a figure slip past them, and then their souls almost left their bodies, wandering beyond the heavens!
