Ye Jing Makes His Move
"The Sword Sect Master! I never imagined you were the Sword Sect Master!"
Upon learning the identity of the visitor, Long Yi's eyes were filled with shock, followed by a hint of anger.
Before he could even get angry, the hot-tempered Long Wu couldn't sit still any longer and roared, "Sword Sect Master, you have some nerve! You actually dared to set up the God Conferring Grand Array to ambush us!"
"You have imprisoned Chen'er in the Dragon Vein Ancient Bed for a hundred years, and you have also killed five of our Dali's Five Imperial Ancestors in the Sword Sect."
"You've come at the perfect time; let's settle both our old and new scores together."
Having said that, he leaped out alone, his aura surging, and a Sky-Covering Great Hand appeared behind him, slamming down on the earth-shattering sword light launched from the Sword Sect Master.
"Boom!!!!"
The sword light and the illusory image of the Sky-Covering Great Hand collided, producing a loud 'boom,' and the powerful shockwave shattered the broken walls and ruins within the God Conferring Grand Array.
Both figures retreated. The Sword Sect Master took three steps back, while Long Wu retreated a full eighteen steps.
Seeing Long Wu clearly at a disadvantage, Long Yi were filled with deep sorrow.
Each of the nine possessed a unique skill: Long Qi cultivated the Dao of Array Formations, Long Er cultivated the Dao of Heavenly Secrets, and Long Wu cultivated the true Martial Arts.
Long Wu was born with a physique different from ordinary people; he possessed a natural Vajra Dao Body, making him an excellent candidate for cultivation.
Long Wu lived up to the reputation of the Vajra Dao Body, displaying extraordinary talent for cultivation from a young age. He achieved great success in Martial Arts at a young age, becoming Peak of Humanity.
Because he possessed the Vajra Dao Body, Long Wu's combat power was exceptionally strong, and ordinary geniuses were no match for Long Wu.
In terms of Martial Arts cultivation alone, of these nine people, only he can definitely overpower Long Wu. The other seven would be no match for Long Wu in a head-on confrontation.
Unexpectedly, such a powerful being was completely outmatched after just one exchange with the Sword Sect Master.
Although Long Wu only retreated eighteen steps, thirteen steps more than the Sword Sect Master, his sharp eyes had already noticed that Long Wu had suffered a slight loss in that brief exchange.
No wonder the Sword Sect Master was able to single-handedly capture the Five Imperial Ancestors of Dali; his strength is indeed remarkable.
"I never expected that among the young people of Dali, there would be someone like you, the Sword Sect Master. It is truly not unjust that Chen'er was defeated by you."
A deep sense of apprehension flashed in Long Yi. A Sword Sect Master possessed such strength, and there was also a young man beside him whose true nature was difficult to fathom.
This young man didn't exude any special aura and seemed harmless, but he sensed that this person posed a greater threat than the Sword Sect Master before him.
"Brother, what's the point of talking to this Sword Sect Master? He's an irreconcilable enemy of our Great Li Imperial Family."
"They even dare to use the God Conferring Grand Array to trap us now. We were planning to cause trouble for the Sword Sect later, but now's the perfect time to settle both our old and new scores."
Long Wu had suffered a slight loss in the brief exchange, was filled with anger. Since he had achieved mastery of Martial Arts, he had dominated the Dali and had never been defeated.
Even when he traveled around the world and sparred with the most outstanding talents from various countries, there were very few who could fight him to a draw.
He was somewhat embarrassed to have lost to a junior today.
Seeing that Long Yi was hesitant to make a move and his face was still full of solemnity, Long Wu was a little displeased. "Brother, what are you afraid of? This Sword Sect Master leader is just one person. How could he be a match for the nine of us?"
"Fifth brother, shut up."
Before Long Yi could even speak, Long Er, who was standing to the side, reprimanded him first.
Long Er looked at Ye Jing with a solemn expression. After a long while, he said calmly, "Your Excellencies, how about we let this matter drop? I swear to Heaven that no matter what happens in the future, I will never cause trouble for the Sword Sect, much less for that Innate Dao Body. What do you two think?"
The Sword Sect Master did not agree, but turned to Ye Jing beside him. "Young friend, what do you think?"
A cold smile flashed in Ye Jing's eyes, "You do have some sense of pragmatism, but such tricks might fool a three-year-old, yet you dare to try and fool me."
"Given the reputation of your Great Li Imperial Family, I cannot trust you,"
"You no longer need to struggle in vain. Today, I have set up this God Conferring Grand Array, and I will surely Dali your Nine Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors within this God Conferring Grand Array."
It wasn't that Ye Jing was arrogant, but rather that his cultivation had improved dramatically over the past few days, resulting in a complete transformation of his strength.
If he were in the 'Entering the Dao' realm, he would only dare to be arrogant and invincible at the Peak of Humanity, but now that he has stepped into the 'Dao Master Realm' realm, he is not far from the 'Dao Attainment' realm.
With his current strength, he is confident that he can fight any being except for a powerful Gods.
Moreover, there is Peak of Humanity and invincible figure like the Sword Sect Master, as well as the God Conferring Grand Array. In particular God Conferring Grand Array can remove the five elements within a cultivator's body, thus weakening the cultivator's strength.
Given this shift in power, he truly couldn't fathom how those nine Great Dali Divine Heir Imperial Ancestor had managed to escape the God Conferring Grand Array today.
Although the Nine Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors of the Dali were powerful, comparable to Gods, they were still far from being their match.
"What an arrogant brat! He dares to boast that he will kill us all in this God Conferring Grand Array."
Unable to discern Ye Jing's destiny, Long Er Ye Jing extremely wary of him. Generally, only when someone becomes extremely powerful in the future, interfering with destiny and influencing the past, would someone as skilled in Heavenly Secrets as Long Er be unable to sense Ye Jing's destiny.
Knowing that the young man before him was destined for greatness, Long Er wanted to befriend him rather than become enemies with Ye Jing.
Unexpectedly, Ye Jing uttered such arrogant words, wanting to kill all nine of them within this God Conferring Grand Array.
Even the mild-mannered Long Er couldn't help but feel angry, and he glared at Ye Jing and shouted angrily.
"Brother, how long are you going to wait!"
Long Wu had a fiery temper, and upon hearing Ye Jing's words, he was already filled with rage. If Long Yi hadn't forbidden him from taking action, he would have already lost his temper.
Long Er had always been the strategist among the nine. Hearing the slightly weak tone in Long Er's words just now, Long Yi knew that Long Er must have seen the extraordinary future of the young man in front of him.
Long Yi looked at Ye Jing and continued, "Young brother, although the Sword Sect Master and your forces are formidable, you may not be a match for the nine of us."
"Five mere Great Li Imperial Ancestor are nothing to our Great Li Imperial Family. We can do without that innate Innate Dao Body as well."
"If you feel our sincerity is insufficient, I and my eight brothers swear on the Great Li Imperial Family and the Dao Path that we will never seek trouble with you afterward. How does that sound to you two?"
Ye Jing remained unmoved, coldly stating, "We are now locked in a life-or-death struggle. Today, all Nine Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors will perish."
Having said that, Ye Jing charged off into battle.
