Mind's Eye.
It could see through all evil in the world!
Whether bewildering formations or illusion formations, as long as the opponent did not overwhelmingly outclass the user, it could easily see through them!
Before Mind's Eye, all manner of concealment was laid bare!
What kind of technique was this?!
In the shadows, the three black-clad figures watched this scene, towering waves surging through their hearts!
No one at the same cultivation realm could see through the Mist Concealment Killing Formation!
Much less one the three of them had cast at the cost of burning their blood essence!
Even someone at the peak of the Qi Sea Realm could not see through it!
Only a Water Overflow Realm expert could break this Mist Concealment Killing Formation through brute force!
Yet Ye Qiubai was merely in the Purple Mansion Realm.
His cultivation realm was lower than theirs!
How had he managed this?
Could it have been a coincidence?
But just as this thought crossed their minds,
they felt Sword Intent soar into the sky from Ye Qiubai!
As though it would cleave this space apart!
Sword Intent?!
According to their information,
Ye Qiubai had only cultivated for a dozen or so years.
How could he possibly have comprehended Sword Intent?!
Immediately afterward, Sword Qi bearing Sword Intent slashed precisely toward the three of them!
Their expressions changed drastically.
Seeing this, how could they not realize it?
Ye Qiubai had already seen through their formation!
"Change formations! Shadow Kill Formation!"
All three formed seals simultaneously and spat a mouthful of blood onto them!
At once, the mist within the formation dispersed, replaced by countless pitch-black daggers that pierced toward Ye Qiubai's Sword Intent!
Since the bewildering formation was useless now, they would use a killing formation to clash with him head-on!
But Shadow Kill was an assassin organization.
Having lost the concealment of the shadows,
how could they be Ye Qiubai's match in a frontal battle?
The countless pitch-black daggers were instantly shredded by the Sword Intent!
Without losing momentum, it continued slashing toward the three of them!
The black-clad figures' expressions changed drastically, but it was already too late to dodge. They could only brace their daggers before their chests.
Layer upon layer of Spiritual Qi appeared before them to block this razor-sharp Sword Intent!
Crack!
The sounds of shattering rang out without cease!
Like a scythe through dry grass, that Sword Intent slashed through their layers of Spiritual Qi shields!
The Sword Intent struck their bodies.
It pierced straight through!
At once, a line of blood spurted from each of their chests!
One strike took three lives!
Ye Qiubai flicked Dark Demon in his hand and watched coldly, as though he did not care in the slightest.
Meanwhile,
Qiu Libei watched the scene, his face filled with terror.
By now, he had completely abandoned any thought of killing Ye Qiubai.
All he could think about was how to escape with his life!
Yet he seemed to have been locked onto by Ye Qiubai's presence. His legs felt bound to the ground, unable to move!
The four armored men from the Sunset Dynasty also looked astonished.
After all, in their eyes, Ye Qiubai was certain to die once trapped in the Mist Concealment Killing Formation!
Yet now, not only had Ye Qiubai broken free of the formation,
he had also slain Shadow Kill's three assassins with a single strike!
But that was not what concerned them.
It was that towering Sword Intent!
Even in the Northern Region, even in the Sunset Dynasty,
no one had comprehended Sword Intent at such a young age!
Everyone who could comprehend Sword Intent was a great sword cultivator who commanded a region!
Even the Sunset Dynasty would not lightly offend such people and would only seek friendly relations with them.
Ye Qiubai walked toward the five of them, step by step.
With every step, the Sword Intent around him rose!
His eyes were utterly cold. In his eyes, these five were already dead.
The blade was like a snake, its Sword Intent flickering ceaselessly like a forked tongue!
Qiu Libei's body began trembling uncontrollably.
Watching this, the four armored men also felt some terror in their hearts.
Once they realized this, they were overcome with shame and anger.
A mere southern barbarian could actually make them feel this way?
Impossible!
At once, blood Qi erupted from one of them, transforming into a giant blood-colored fist that smashed toward Ye Qiubai!
As the blood-colored fist approached, Ye Qiubai continued walking forward without swinging his sword.
Only when the blood-colored fist was about to strike his body did that Sword Intent erupt straight from within him!
For a moment, Sword Intent swept in every direction!
The blood-colored fist was torn straight to pieces!
Then, with a light step, Ye Qiubai vanished from where he stood!
In the blink of an eye, he appeared before the armored man, his sword held behind his back as he thrust out a finger!
The armored man did not even have time to react. He could only watch as Ye Qiubai's finger landed between his brows!
Pfft!
A line of blood spurted from the back of the armored man's head!
One finger had pierced through his forehead!
"You dare kill us? The Sunset Dynasty won't..."
But before he could finish, Ye Qiubai slashed out with a backhand swing!
His head flew off!
Seeing the situation turn against them, the remaining two immediately retreated, preparing to flee!
But Ye Qiubai would not release tigers back into the mountains.
For every person they sent, he would kill one!
Sooner or later, Ye Qiubai would take the initiative and bring the fight to the Sunset Dynasty!
He slashed straight toward the two of them!
Sword Intent spanned the sky!
It transformed into a gigantic slash that struck their armor!
But the armor offered no protection whatsoever. Like paper, it was severed at the waist!
Everyone from the Sunset Dynasty had fallen!
Only after collecting all four men's storage rings did Ye Qiubai turn toward Qiu Libei, whose legs were trembling incessantly.
Qiu Libei no longer showed any of his earlier arrogance and overbearing manner. His eyes were filled with terror.
Ye Qiubai looked coldly at Qiu Libei.
Qiu Libei said, "Ye... Ye Qiubai, I didn't really do anything. Could you spare me out of consideration for the Qiu Lineage?"
Seeing that Ye Qiubai remained unmoved, Qiu Libei continued begging in a trembling voice, "I definitely won't trouble you again! And whatever you want me to do, I'll do it for you. I'll even work like an ox or a horse!"
After speaking, he even dropped to both knees and repeatedly kowtowed to Ye Qiubai!
Seeing this, Ye Qiubai said nothing. Instead, he kicked a rock!
The rock shattered, and its fragments pierced Qiu Libei's body!
Including his dantian!
Qiu Libei cried out in pain.
His presence rapidly faded. Clearly, his dantian had been destroyed, all his cultivation lost, leaving him a cripple!
Feeling the state of his body, Qiu Libei wailed, "Kill me! Kill me!"
Ye Qiubai did not answer. He turned and left.
Ye Qiubai feared that killing someone like this would dirty his sword.
With one day remaining before the Blood Prison Trial ended, Ye Qiubai encountered Hong Ying.
"Senior brother, did you deal with those people from the Sunset Dynasty?"
Ye Qiubai smiled. "That's right. You could say they're dealt with."
Hong Ying nodded. She was not surprised that he could deal with those people.
After all, he was their master's disciple.
It would have been disappointing if he could not.
Ye Qiubai asked, "Junior sister, have you finished your business?"
Hong Ying nodded. "Once my strength returns to its peak, I'll set out to war again. But when that time comes, I may need to draw on your strength, senior brother."
"All right. Just call me if you need anything."
They were both their master's disciples, and she was his junior sister. Naturally, Ye Qiubai would not refuse.
