" Senior Brother Ye, what... what is he going to do?"
Yue Mei sensed Ye Xuan's movement, her pretty face immediately turned pale, then quickly regained its color.
In that instant, many thoughts came to mind.
Could it be that Senior Brother Ye... he's going to...?
Yue Mei really didn't dare to think any further.
If that's really the case, should she accept it or resist?
I'm having a bit of a problem!
"Hehehe, thank you both for helping me kill this Scarlet Flame Lion. Now, you can leave."
Just as Yue Mei was lost in thought, a deafening explosion erupted in front of her, followed by a sinister voice.
Accompanied by this eerie voice, five figures suddenly descended from mid-air.
Of the five people, four were men and one was a woman.
Their bodies pulsated with Spiritual Qi, their aura surging wildly.
The extremely fierce killing intent shook the void, making it appear slightly illusory; clearly, these were ruthless characters who had experienced countless killings.
" Slaughter Hunters?"
Looking at the five people, Yue Mei finally came to her senses and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Slaughter Hunters.
This is an extremely special profession in the Yuanqing Domain. Those cultivators live by killing, specializing in hunting down other cultivators and demonic beasts.
These people walk the line between life and death every day, their lives hanging by a thread, but those who survive must be extremely powerful cultivators.
In the Yuanqing Domain, there are countless renowned top experts who rose from the ranks of Slaughter Hunters.
Of course, Yue Mei had only heard of the Slaughter Hunters before, but had never actually seen one.
" Slaughter Hunters?"
Ye Xuan was somewhat puzzled when he heard this term, but he didn't pay it any mind.
He looked at the five people who had appeared before him.
Of the five, one of them had already reached the Half-Saint Realm, but judging from his aura, he was probably only at the Middle Half-Saint.
The other four were all at the Venerable Realm Peak Stage.
Of course, their aura and the sheer volume of their Spiritual Qi were stronger than those of the Venerable Realm Peak Stage Ye Xuan had encountered before.
In particular, its fierce and domineering killing intent was far superior to the Venerable Realm Peak Stage Ye Xuan had encountered before.
Take that mid- Middle Half-Saint who was the leader, for example. Ye Xuan felt that this person would not be much weaker than Xue Zhaohai, who was at the Perfected Half-Saint.
"Oh, you actually knew we were Slaughter Hunters, you have good taste."
Upon hearing Yue Mei's words, one of the lewd-looking male cultivators chuckled and said with a smirk.
But soon, his eyes brightened.
He stared intently at Yue Mei, his greedy and burning gaze seeming as if he wanted to devour her Yue Mei.
"Not bad, she's quite a top-tier talent, only her cultivation level is a bit low, but it doesn't really matter."
The lewd-looking male cultivator muttered something, then his eyes flashed fiercely at Ye Xuan: "Kid, leave the demon beast and the woman behind, you can get lost!"
Arrogant and domineering, he completely disregarded Ye Xuan.
The other four remained silent, but their auras were locked onto Ye Xuan.
They had witnessed Ye Xuan's previous battles; he wasn't particularly strong, at least not in their eyes.
However, Ye Xuan had too many methods, some of which were quite unpredictable, and they didn't know if Ye Xuan had any hidden trump cards.
Therefore, they did not choose to kill directly.
Upon hearing the lewd man's words, Yue Mei's face immediately turned pale.
Damn it, even though that lewd man is Venerable Realm Peak Stage cultivator, he's still so lewd, I don't want him to be like that.
If this were to fall into their hands, the tragic consequences would be chilling to even think about.
She'd rather die than spend time with this kind of trash; just thinking about it makes me sick.
Ye Xuan was furious to see these people so arrogant, trying to steal his spoils and even his living map.
Damn it, do I look like someone who's easy to bully?
Although he had no interest in Yue Mei, at least she was by his side now.
This kind of thing must never be tolerated.
Ye Xuan was furious inside, but on the surface he remained calm and said coldly, "I'll give you a chance. Get out of here now, and I might spare your lives. Otherwise, you will all die here."
All five of them were slightly taken aback when they heard Ye Xuan's words.
Then, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"What did you say? Say it again if you dare!"
"Trash, are you threatening us?"
"Did I hear that right? This guy actually dares to threaten us?"
"You're asking for it."
The five people looked like they'd seen a ghost, as if they'd misheard.
However, that voice was filled with murderous intent.
They were unwilling to provoke Ye Xuan easily, that's true, but since Ye Xuan wasn't cooperating, they shouldn't blame them for being impolite.
"You bastard, since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish! Do you really think that just because you've killed a Scarlet Flame Lion, you can act arrogantly in front of us?"
The lewd man sneered, and the next second, his Venerable Realm domain erupted wildly, a booming sound came from beneath his feet, and he charged towards Ye Xuan.
Before he even arrived, his killing intent swept over Ye Xuan like a storm.
The terrifying killing intent and bloodthirsty aura were enough to intimidate anyone who had never experienced mountains of corpses and seas of blood, even before the battle began.
Seeing that the other party had made a move, Ye Xuan didn't waste any words.
He took a step forward, his Spiritual Qi surging within him. In an instant, hundreds of fist beams pierced through the void, hurtling towards his opponent.
A series of thunderous roars echoed, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth was splitting.
The peak Venerable Realm Peak Stage also swung his fists in resistance, unleashing countless bursts of fist energy that pierced through the void, displaying boundless killing intent.
The two fists collided in mid-air, creating ripples that seemed to shatter the void itself.
Ye Xuan was also forced to retreat repeatedly, deeply shocked.
In that short period of time, he had already been punched several times.
If it weren't for the Sacred Armor within him, he would have been blown to pieces long ago.
Despite this, Ye Xuan was still forced to retreat repeatedly, finding himself unable to defend himself.
The Slaughter Hunters is truly extraordinary.
Of course, this is also related to Ye Xuan's low cultivation level.
At this moment, Ye Xuan's Divine Emperor Realm Peak Stage cultivation was forcibly boosted by the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Formula, but in reality, he had not reached that level at all.
But that lewd man was a genuine Venerable Realm Peak Stage, and a top expert among Venerable Realm Peak Stage at that.
With one side gaining and the other losing, Ye Xuan was naturally caught off guard and somewhat flustered.
With another loud bang, the two collided again, and Ye Xuan was sent flying.
The lewd man couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You ant, is that all you've got? If that's all, you might as well die."
Along with the sound, a pale golden staff appeared in the lewd man's hand. The staff was thick and heavy, exuding a strong aura of bloodlust.
The next moment, he swept his long staff horizontally, instantly piercing through the void and leaving behind a series of dazzling staff shadows. With the force of splitting the heavens, his staff swept invincible, smashing down on Ye Xuan from above!
