"He, their things, why are they in your hands!?"

After a moment, Shangguan Hong recovered, his gaze sweeping over Ye Xuan, finally landing on Nangong Fei.

He didn't think this matter had anything to do with Ye Xuan.

But now Nangong Fei herself was also dumbfounded; how would she know where Ye Xuan got the key!?

"Could it be that during the days you were missing, it was..." Nangong Fei suddenly realized, her expression changing slightly.

Xuan Ye hadn't appeared since that canyon, so in between, Xuan Ye must have encountered the teams from the Western and Southern Regions!

"Heh, just met some trash with wandering hands and wagging tongues!"

Ye Xuan only gave a cold snort, not wanting to explain further.

"Oh!?"

"You do have some ability!"

But Ji Che suddenly raised his eyes, his narrow eyes looking at Xuan Ye, coldly saying, "In that case, it saves a lot of trouble!"

"Give me the key, and then, get out of the secret realm!"

Ji Che's voice was calm, but his tone was extremely cold, even unquestionable!

"What do you mean?!"

Nangong Fei raised her eyebrows.

"Heh, Miss Nangong, do you need me to be any clearer?"

Ji Che sneered, his shoulders shaking, the Heavenly Gang Realm's unique Dharma Idol suddenly rising from behind him!

That Dharma Idol was like a raging river, its radiance dozens of feet long, allowing Ji Che's Heavenly Gang Realm pressure to climb to its limit without restraint!

Under the immense pressure, even Nangong Fei and the others, who were already Half-step Heavenly Gang, were shocked into retreat.

A true Heavenly Gang Realm possesses the Dharma Idol's blessing; the stronger the talent and physique, the stronger the Dharma Idol!

"I am already in the Heavenly Gang Realm; even if I just passed the tribulation, it's not something you can resist!"

"In the secret realm competition, you have already lost to Young Master Shangguan; hand over the key, and I will let you leave."

"Otherwise..."

Although Ji Che didn't finish speaking, the meaning of threat in his words was already obvious.

Nangong Fei's face was tense to the extreme; her personality was always unruly and fiery, and she disliked being threatened the most.

But now, with the Heavenly Gang in front of her, she was indeed no match.

"Otherwise what?"

But at this moment, Ye Xuan's voice rose again.

"Why only say half the sentence?"

Huh!?

At this moment, even Shangguan Hong and the others couldn't help but look at Ye Xuan in surprise.

Thinking that this guy must be an idiot, right!?

"However, your suggestion just now is not bad!"

"With this secret realm ancient hall in front, there is only one opportunity, so naturally it cannot be shared!"

"In that case, give me the key in your hand, and I will also let you leave!"

"Otherwise, die!"

Ye Xuan would not have any scruples.

He would not share the secrets within this ancient hall with anyone else!

But Ye Xuan's extremely arrogant tone confused Shangguan Hong and Ji Che.

"Heh, what kind of riffraff dares to come out and clamor!?"

Shangguan Hong recovered, his face filled with a ferocious expression, and he was about to step forward and attack.

"Why does Young Master Shangguan need to take action?"

But Ji Che took a step forward in advance, his pressure like a mountain collapsing.

"Since this person is so intent on seeking death, then I will fulfill him!"

As the voice fell, Ji Che's Dharma Idol surged, his large hand raised, his five fingers spread open, and a palm suddenly slammed down towards Ye Xuan!

"Killing you is like slaughtering a dog; one palm is enough!"

"Let you know what the Heavenly Gang is!"

Buzz!

In an instant, a palm print dozens of feet long fell like a terrifying storm, threatening to kill Ye Xuan on the spot.

"Heh!"

But Ye Xuan only sneered, then retrieved the three small swords, and with his other hand, he suddenly raised his arm and threw a punch, thunder raging!

Six Treasury Thunder Fist!

Fourth Form: Thunder Blast!

Buzz!

Crack!

In an instant, endless Essence Qi gathered on Ye Xuan's punching fist, turning into a dazzling and domineering deep blue arc of lightning, the air compressed to the extreme, and then exploded!

Boom!

The moment Ji Che's palm print touched the Thunder Fist, it suddenly shattered!

The violent explosion was extremely ear-splitting.

Palm print and lightning arc debris splashed into the void, causing Ji Che and the others to change their expressions in an instant!

Buzz!

But even with the palm print shattered, the fist's power did not diminish. Ji Che recovered, his hands came out together, and his Dharma Idol shook violently, finally blocking the aftershock of the Thunder Fist!

But even so, he was still shaken back by the impact of the Qi dust.

His clothes fluttered, his hair disheveled, looking very embarrassed.

At this moment, the thunder dissipated from Ye Xuan's big hand, and the cold smile on the corner of his mouth also rose.

"Heavenly Gang Realm?"

"Is that all there is to it!"

The six-word taunt was like a sword piercing the heart.

At this time, the people present who had recovered also widened their eyes.

Especially Shangguan Hong and the others.

What's going on!?

This person not only took Ji Che's punch, but also shook Ji Che back!?

His cultivation is clearly not high!?

But Liu Yunxi and the others seemed a little calmer.

Xuan Clan genius, are you kidding me!?

"Damn it!"

"I underestimated you, but you've made me serious for once!"

"Die!"

At this moment, Ji Che, who had just stabilized his figure, was also extremely ashamed and angry. His face was flushed red, and he suddenly pulled out the long sword from his waist, pouring all of his Heavenly Gang Realm aura into it!

Sword Qi was like a torrent, instantly dominating all directions!

"Xuan Ye, be careful!"

Nangong Fei's expression suddenly changed, and she quickly threw the high-grade Earth-rank sword from her waist over.

She had seen Xuan Ye's Sword Dao in the Battle Tower, but she had never seen Ye Xuan draw his sword.

Ji Che not only had Heavenly Gang Realm cultivation, but the weapon in his hand was also the Earth-rank high-grade Clear Cold Sword!

If they really fought, he would probably suffer!

"Sword Dao!?"

"You are worthy!?"

Ye Xuan raised his hand to catch the sword, and swept it horizontally!

Crack!

In an instant, lightning surged on Ye Xuan's arm, rushing and gathering, and finally pouring into the sword!

Nangong Fei's sword was crimson and bathed in fire, but now, wrapped in lightning arcs, it was even brighter!

What startled Ji Che was that he had sensed an extremely domineering Sword Intent the moment Ye Xuan raised his sword!

"Sword Intent!?"

"You actually comprehended Sword Intent!"

Shangguan Hong's expression also changed suddenly at this moment.

Sword Intent is the threshold for Sword Cultivators to enter the ranks of the strong. Before this, it was only said that there was no Sword Intent before the Heavenly Gang Realm!

Even if someone could comprehend Sword Intent before the Heavenly Gang Realm, they would be rare, heaven-defying talents!

Who could comprehend it besides those monsters from the great clans in the Central Region!?

But now, this Northern Region rogue cultivator, isn't his cultivation in the early Spirit Sea Realm!?

To possess Sword Intent in the early Spirit Sea Realm, such a monstrous talent, apart from the royal family, only Xuan Clan disciples could do it!

But Ye Xuan's sword was too fast.

Empowered by Thunderous Sword Intent, a ten-zhang Sword Lightning shattered the void, instantly landing on Ji Che's Great Tide Sword Heavenly Gang!

BOOM!

Yet, at the mere moment of contact, the Great Tide Sword Heavenly Gang was cleaved into a sky full of water mist, exploding wantonly in the lightning!

The sword, imbued with lightning, devoured Ji Che's body before continuing its rampage.

The other three disciples of the Lin Tian Sword Sect hadn't even recovered before they were blasted apart!

At this moment, Shangguan Hong was utterly terrified. He hastily activated an ancient stone fragment in his hand, teleporting away from the secret realm space just before the sword energy reached him!

He knew he had encountered a monster!

And it wasn't until the thunder subsided and the sword energy dissipated that Liu Yunxi and the others, who had finally come to their senses, realized that Ji Che of the Lin Tian Sword Sect was already dead, his corpse utterly destroyed!

A Spirit Sea realm cultivator slaying a Heavenly Gang realm cultivator!?

And with just one sword!?

What terrifying talent in the Sword Dao was this?

At this moment, Liu Yunxi was absolutely certain that this Xuan Ye was a member of the Xuan clan, and definitely a direct descendant prodigy out on a training excursion!

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan had already collected Ji Che's storage ring, regretting that another young master had escaped.

"The sword is not bad, here you go."

Ye Xuan turned around and handed the sword to Nangong Fei.

"We'll still need it later, you keep it for now!"

Nangong Fei shook her head, not taking it.

She actually didn't need this sword anymore.

Ye Xuan nodded, then took the four small swords to the front of the ancient hall and placed them into the restriction.

Buzz!

Instantly, the formation was successfully activated, and a crack appeared in the hall door.

An ancient, deathly Sword Dao aura suddenly burst forth from the gap.

Even with Ye Xuan shielding them in front, the three women behind him instantly turned pale and their bodies trembled violently.

"Perhaps, it would be safer for you not to go in!"

In front of the hall door, Ye Xuan's pupils contracted slightly, and he retracted his gaze.

"We've already come this far, wouldn't it be a shame not to take a look?"

But Nangong Fei raised an eyebrow, unwilling to leave just like that.

"That's right, besides, don't we have Night-gege protecting us?" Liu Yunxi also chimed in.

Ye Xuan pursed his lips, not trying to persuade them further. Immediately, he pushed open the hall door, leading the three women into the ancient hall.

The hall was dim, permeated with a deathly chill that seemed to seep into the bone marrow.

Ancient Sword Intent permeated the air. If not for Ye Xuan's protection, this aura alone would have been enough to kill Nangong Fei and the other two on the spot.

The ancient hall was empty. Nangong Fei and the other two hugged their shoulders, shivering as they looked towards the center of the hall. They could vaguely see a giant pillar within, with what looked like a Coiling Dragon wrapped around it.

Beneath the giant pillar, there was also something else, square and black.

"That, that's, a coffin!?"

When the three women got a little closer, Liu Yunxi suddenly exclaimed.

She could now clearly see that beneath the giant pillar was a Sarcophagus, made of bronze, without any patterns or carvings, making it seem especially terrifying in this desolate ancient hall!

Apart from that, there was nothing else in the entire ancient hall.

"Could it be that this secret realm isn't some sword estate, but a tomb?"

Nangong Fei frowned.

"A tomb!?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunxi couldn't help but retreat to the very back, her eyes filled with terror.

"That's not right!"

"There's something alive here, besides us!?"

Lin Churan, who hadn't spoken the entire time, suddenly spoke.

"Something alive?!"

"What nonsense are you spouting, trying to scare us to death?"

Liu Yunxi glared at her, but the next moment, her eyes suddenly widened!

Because she suddenly discovered that there was something moving on the giant pillar in the darkness!

"That, that thing, it's alive!?"

Everyone looked in the direction Liu Yunxi was pointing, and sure enough, they discovered that the Coiling Dragon on the giant pillar was actually wriggling!

Buzz!

In the next moment, beneath the dome of the ancient temple, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly opened.

A bloody light flickered, and a mighty, fierce aura instantly erupted!

"This is a Dragon!"

"Not good!"

Nangong Fei was greatly alarmed. The Dragon race was already extinct, and such a form and aura were extremely terrifying!

"Let's go!"

At this moment, Ye Xuan also suddenly turned around, his expression stern!

In fact, he had known for a long time that there was something alive here, but Nangong Fei and the others would not leave unless they saw it with their own eyes.

At this moment, Nangong Fei did not hesitate at all and directly activated the ancient stone fragment in her hand.

Not to mention a Dragon, even a fourth-order great demon was not something they could deal with right now.

If they didn't run, they would only die!

In an instant, the light of the magic circle enveloped the three women, but Ye Xuan did not come over.

Nangong Fei frowned, was Xuan Ye not leaving!?

"Brother Ye..."

Liu Yunxi called out, but before the sound could fall, she was teleported away from the secret realm.

"Heh, you're not leaving? Aren't you afraid of this seat!?"

At this moment, within the empty ancient temple, a voice suddenly rang out from the giant pillar.

A head that was several zhang in size slowly emerged from the darkness.

"Afraid?"

"Heh, just a little Flood Dragon!"

However, no trace of fear could be seen on Ye Xuan's face. Instead, he chuckled and raised the scarlet long sword in his hand.

"Even if you are just a Flood Dragon, even if you are a true Dragon!"

"I can still slay you!"
