Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Ye Yulong, Ye Qingxin, and the others all changed their expressions and quickly moved aside.

Thousands of invisible sword energies appeared out of nowhere, almost slicing through everything within a ten-meter radius of Bai Jian!

The cold light flashed continuously, and the terrifying buzzing sound of the sword energy was chilling!

Even the ground beneath their feet was covered in shocking sword marks!

And all the black iron chains that bound him were naturally cut off!

"A true swordsman always keeps the sword in his heart. How could you young people understand this principle?"

Bai Jian, freed from his restraints, uttered these words expressionlessly.

He raised his hand and made a grabbing motion with his five fingers in the air.

The Ling Sha Sword, which had fallen to the ground, trembled and flew back into his hand.

Zero stared coldly at him, then unleashed her ability once more: "Fifth-tier ability—Thousand Shadows Kill!"

Countless shadow blades, now transformed into long black lines, swept towards Bai Jian once more.

Seeing this, Bai Jian flew into the air, swung his sword, and unleashed countless sword energies that crisscrossed the sky.

Countless sword energies and shadow blades clashed, and the crisp sounds of weapons colliding rang out incessantly.

His white-clad figure somersaulted back in the air before landing on the top of a tent, surveying the Ye family camp from above.

The Ye family's army has now realized what's happening, and continuing the fight won't bring them any advantage.

Xiao Qing should have finished the ritual by now...

It's about time to leave.

Bai Jian turned his head and looked in Bai Qing's direction. He saw that Bai Qing was also looking at him, nodded at him, and the two exchanged glances.

It means it's all done!

Bai Jian put the hand holding the longsword behind his back, raised two fingers with his other hand, and then suddenly released three sword pellets that flew into the air directly above.

The three sword pellets burst into a blinding white light in the air!

Ye Ge looked up and glanced at it.

He thought to himself, "That must be Bai Jian's signal to his troops to retreat."

Bai Jian was preparing to lead his men to evacuate.

At that moment, a figure engulfed in demonic flames suddenly appeared behind him!

"You think you can just leave like that?!"

Ye Yang roared and unleashed a powerful, sweeping kick at Bai Jian!

Clearly, he wanted revenge for that attack!

"Fifth-tier demonic martial skill - Caesar's Demon Blade!"

This whip kick drew a black and red blade of air through the air, as sharp as a dark-attribute demonic blade!

Bai Jian glanced back, but simply tilted his head slightly to avoid the attack.

At the same time, the raised finger turned.

Three more sword pellets were thrust out! With a few "swish" sounds, the three sword pellets struck Ye Yang in the chest, left abdomen, and shoulder respectively.

Ye Yang groaned, lost his balance in mid-air, and crashed heavily to the ground.

Bai Jian had no intention of letting this arrogant young man who had come to his doorstep get away with it. With a "whoosh," he swung his longsword and swooped down from the sky.

The sword's edge pierced straight towards Ye Yang's heart!

Ye Yang's eyes widened.

In an instant, a feeling of despair enveloped his entire body.

His body was completely unable to make any dodging or evasive movements.

It wasn't because he was hit by the sword pellet and was therefore unable to move due to the pain, but rather because Bai Jian's terrifying sword aura at the moment of the strike completely suppressed his will, rendering him unable to exert any strength...

Is this the end for me? ......

The shadow of Ling Sha Sword was reflected in Ye Yang's pupils.

Although he was born into the Ye family, he had imagined what death would be like from a very young age.

But I didn't expect it to come so quickly...

'I was still too reckless...'

I'm sorry, Mom, I still haven't been able to get rid of this bad habit of mine...

Ye Yang knew he couldn't avoid it, but he didn't close his eyes. Instead, he gritted his teeth and stared fiercely at the sword falling towards him.

It was as if he wanted to remember Bai Jian's appearance forever, so that he could become a vengeful ghost after death and seek revenge!

"boom!"

The falling sword struck the ground, creating a huge crater more than ten meters deep!

Dust flew everywhere, and smoke filled the air...

"Ok?"

Bai Jian stood amidst the swirling dust and glanced up.

Around him, besides the dust rising from the ground, there was the eerie, swirling black mist, drifting black feathers, and the piercing cawing of crows echoing in his ears.

There was no blood or corpse.

A dozen meters to his right, Ye Ge's figure appeared as the black mist gathered, grabbing Ye Yang by the collar and throwing him to the ground.

Clearly, just a moment ago, he used the black mist transformation ability of the Calamity Spirit to bring Ye Yang out.

Ye Yang was stunned. He had just thought he was going to die, and his mind was playing a PowerPoint presentation.

Suddenly, I felt a lightness in my body, enveloped by the ethereal black mist... and then, in the next breath, I was pulled out by Night Song...

Ye Yang sat on the ground, staring blankly up at Ye Ge standing next to him.

This guy......

Saved me?

Ye Qingxin raised an eyebrow.

The siblings of the Ye family have always been each other's biggest rivals, their greatest enemies since birth.

This is the first time I've ever seen a member of the Ye family save their own brother...

Ye Yulong also showed an expression of great interest.

Bai Jian looked at Ye Ge and narrowed his eyes: 'That black mist should have come from the raven perched on Ye Ge's shoulder. Besides the magic-suppressing effect just now, that black mist should also be able to instantly molecularize an object, allowing for instantaneous evasion of attacks and displacement through the air along with the mist...'

'That's indeed a very powerful ability. That raven spirit beast must be at least a red-rated pet... Luckily, its level wasn't high, otherwise I probably wouldn't have escaped unscathed today.'

Bai Jian didn't intend to continue entangled with Ye Ge and the others, and left in a flash.

His younger sister, Bai Qing, also slipped away after her brother when she saw him leave.

In the camp, the White City warriors who came with them also quickly withdrew from the camp after receiving the retreat signal.

Ye Yang patted his pants and stood up, looking at Ye Ge with a complicated expression: "Why...why did you save me?"

Ye Ge asked in confusion, "You don't want to be rescued?"

“…What I mean is,” Ye Yang paused, considering his words, but ultimately decided to speak directly, “if I died, wouldn’t it mean one less competitor for the position of clan leader? But why…”

Ye Ge looked at him in surprise, revealing an expression of childlike innocence befitting his age: "Huh? So you actually think you're capable of competing with me for the position of clan leader?"

Ye Yang: "..."

"..."
