The young man looked quite young, probably in his early twenties.
He wore a blue robe and carried a long sword. Although he looked ordinary and travel-worn, his outstanding temperament was still undeniable.
This young man was none other than Ye Xuan, who was heading towards the exit of the boundary.
However, since Ye Xuan wore the mask that Qiu Yue had given him, his appearance naturally changed.
Ye Xuan casually raised his hand and wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead. Then, he squinted and looked up at the dilapidated city before him.
" Mage City, this should be the last city, right? Once we cross here, we should reach the Devil Beast Mountain Range."
Ye Xuan muttered to himself, and without pausing, he strode towards the city gate.
"Stop!"
Just as Ye Xuan reached the city gate, a burly man with broad shoulders and a thick waist walked over.
He stretched out his arm, as thick as a bucket, blocking Ye Xuan's path, his fierce eyes fixed on Ye Xuan, and coldly said:
"Young man, don't you know the rules? Entering the city requires a payment of five hundred mid-grade spirit stones."
Ye Xuan glanced at the burly man; his Nascent Soul Realm Seventh Level wasn't particularly strong.
However, the murderous aura emanating from this person was terrifying, giving people a heavy, suffocating feeling.
Clearly, this guy had also gone through countless life-and-death experiences, crawling out of piles of corpses.
Ye Xuan was certain that if those disciples of the same realm who had not experienced the trials of Xue Huo were to face this aura alone, they would be terrified.
Of course, for Ye Xuan, this killing intent was nothing.
Ye Xuan didn't say much, nor did he try to bargain. He simply reached out his right hand and wiped it on the storage bag at his waist.
The next second, with a whoosh, five hundred mid-grade spirit stones radiating rich Spiritual Qi appeared on the ground in front of them.
The burly man was slightly taken aback by Ye Xuan's performance, a strange look appearing in his eyes.
It's quite remarkable that such a young man could remain so calm under the influence of his imposing aura.
It should be noted that although Ye Xuan was wearing a mask, he still looked to be in his early twenties.
It's almost unbelievable that a young man in his early twenties could remain unfazed by his intense aura of killing intent.
"Go inside!"
Of course, the burly man did not make things difficult for Ye Xuan anymore. Instead, he picked up the spirit stones on the ground and walked to the side.
Ye Xuan didn't say anything more, nor did he even glance at the burly man. He lifted his foot and entered the city directly.
"Young man, this Mage City isn't so easy to enter. We're about to see some good stuff. I wonder how long this kid can survive."
As the burly man watched Ye Xuan's departing figure, he couldn't help but lick his lips and chuckle.
That smile looked surprisingly wicked.
As soon as Ye Xuan entered Mage City, he smelled a strong stench of blood.
Looking up, I saw that the street in front of me was covered with bloodstains, many of which were not yet completely dry.
Blood, flesh, and severed limbs were left like garbage in the middle or corners of the street, and no one bothered to clean them up.
Further away, faint booming sounds and violent fluctuations of Spiritual Qi could be heard, clearly indicating that a fierce battle was taking place.
"This Mage City is really chaotic."
Ye Xuan shook his head slightly as he watched this scene, but he didn't pay it any mind and continued walking forward.
Mage City is not prosperous and has few shops.
In the middle was just a dilapidated street, and the buildings on both sides were also very dilapidated.
A quick glance revealed that only a few shops appeared to be in operation, while the rest were empty.
Ye Xuan was walking forward when suddenly, three people rushed out of the shop on his left.
These three men were all middle-aged. Almost the instant they saw Ye Xuan, their auras exploded, and their eyes, fixed on Ye Xuan, were filled with a greedy, fiery red light.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them had already blocked Ye Xuan's path.
The middle-aged man on the left licked his lips, stared at Ye Xuan coldly, and said, "A newcomer? First time in Mage City?"
The man on the right chuckled, his eyes gleaming as he stared at Ye Xuan. "This kid has fair skin and delicate features; he looks quite good."
The man in the middle frowned and said, "Shut up, all of you!"
As he spoke, he looked at Ye Xuan coldly, his tone much more direct. "Kid, if you don't want to die, hand over the storage pouch at your waist, and we won't make things difficult for you!"
Ye Xuan looked at the three people, especially the one on the far right, and couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
He didn't speak, but suddenly a strange smile appeared on his lips.
Looking at the smile on Ye Xuan's face, the three of them suddenly felt something was strange, and a sense of foreboding welled up in their hearts.
Under normal circumstances, most people, especially young people, would either be furious or beg for mercy in such a situation.
However, the guy in front of him not only didn't get angry or beg for mercy, but instead laughed.
Just as the three sensed something was wrong, a chill swept over them like a Gale, and Ye Xuan had already moved.
He didn't utter a single unnecessary word, nor did he intend to communicate with the three of them. He simply took a step forward, and the long sword on his back was already drawn.
Whoosh!
With a sharp whistling sound, the three of them only saw a flash of white light, and with a soft "poof," the head of the person on the far right was sent flying.
A jet of blood shot into the sky, rising more than ten meters high, while the man's head rolled to the ground like a ball with a thud.
Even in death, the greedy glint remained in his eyes.
"Kid, you're asking for it!"
"You dare kill my third brother? I'll fight you to the death!"
The other two, regaining their senses, were both furious!
Their aura suddenly surged skyward, boiling Spiritual Qi erupted, and killing intent instantly swept across the entire space.
The next moment, with a loud bang, the person on the left charged directly towards Ye Xuan.
His expression turned ferocious in an instant. Almost the instant he charged forward, his right palm was already raised, Spiritual Qi surged in, and he slammed it hard towards Ye Xuan's head.
The man in the middle reacted faster. He took a step to the side and flashed to Ye Xuan's right, then rushed towards Ye Xuan from the right.
In his hand, a long sword appeared.
He held the knife in both hands, unleashing a burst of spiritual Spiritual Qi that rang out as he slashed down fiercely at Ye Xuan's chest.
Both of them were extremely ruthless in their attacks, showing no mercy whatsoever.
Some cultivators in the distance saw this scene, but their expressions didn't change much.
Instead of panicking and fleeing, they became excited, their eyes burning with anticipation.
"Two Late Heavenly Position Realm Celestial Realm cultivators dare to be so insolent in front of me! They're truly courting death!"
Ye Xuan looked at the two people who rushed towards him like lightning, but his expression remained extremely calm.
He sneered disdainfully, not even bothering to dodge. He stomped heavily on the ground and charged forward, his longsword flashing once more.
Whoosh!
Two sharp, piercing sounds echoed, unleashing two long waves of sword energy.
Pfft! Pfft!
After two more sharp sounds, the two men, their faces filled with shock and fear, collapsed to the ground.
