Chapter 1168: Defiled God Blood Beads

"Ye Yuan, these people have been demonized and will have no feelings for you at all! If you hesitate any longer, the one who ends up dead will be you!"

Long Teng's voice sounded in Ye Yuan's ear.

"Senior, is there... really no way to save them?"

"No! Once demonized, their only fate is death! Even if you don't kill them now, once you kill their master, they will still die!" Long Teng said firmly.

Ye Yuan sighed softly and said, "Alright, I understand."

Strands of divine essence quietly entered the Evil-Slaying Sword.

Suddenly, Ye Yuan's sword aura surged!

The sword beams emitted by the sword formation were directly crushed by Ye Yuan's sword aura.

"Chi chi chi..."

Streams of invisible sword aura shot out from the Evil-Slaying Sword, causing Ye Yuan's defensive circle to expand larger and larger.

Seeing this, Ji Canglan and Blood Soul's expressions changed drastically.

"Not good, this brat was holding back! It seems he was just reluctant to kill his former sectmates, which allowed the sword formation to suppress him," Blood Soul said with a grim face.

Ji Canglan stared intently at Ye Yuan within the sword formation and gritted his teeth, saying, "He has already cultivated the 'Evil-Slaying Sword Art' to the first level's great perfection, and can unleash one-tenth of the Evil-Slaying Divine Sword's power!"

"What terrifying comprehension! It's been at most a little over a year since he obtained the 'Evil-Slaying Sword Art,' right? In one year, he has comprehended the laws of the divine path to such an extent!" Blood Soul exclaimed in astonishment.

"The Son of Fate is indeed extraordinary! These wastes are truly useless. Blood Soul, it's your turn!" Ji Canglan said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Holy Son!" Blood Soul responded and departed.

Ji Canglan watched Ye Yuan in the battle circle with burning eyes, his thoughts unknown.

At that moment, Ye Yuan twisted the sword hilt, and a spiral sword aura burst forth, like a drill, directly piercing through the sword beams from the formation.

"Pfft!"

The sword aura from the Evil-Slaying Divine Sword pierced through the chest of a Void Xuan peak expert without hindrance.

This person was a once-reclusive supreme elder of the Medicine King Hall, whose strength even surpassed Sun Man's.

Although Ye Yuan had little contact with him, he knew him as a kind elder.

In his past life, Ye Yuan, though focused on the Dao of alchemy, never put on airs as the young master among his sectmates.

Thus, among these sectmates, Ye Yuan was quite popular.

Ye Yuan's relationship with these people was also very harmonious.

Now, he had to personally end their lives, and Ye Yuan felt deeply uncomfortable.

Naturally, his hatred for Ji Canglan grew even deeper.

This man had no bottom line in his actions!

With the death of this supreme elder, the power of the Nine Absolute God-Slaying Sword Formation naturally diminished greatly.

Those sword beams could no longer breach the area two zhang around Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan sighed softly and said, "I'm sorry, everyone! Qingyun is incompetent and powerless to reverse this! Qingyun will send you on your way now, and I will surely avenge you!"

With that, Ye Yuan's figure vanished instantly.

Then, one figure after another fell from the sky.

Over a hundred experts were quickly slaughtered by Ye Yuan.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Ye Yuan sighed and said, "I am unworthy of being an Alchemy Emperor, unable to save even my own sectmates. Ji Canglan, our enmity grows ever deeper!"

Ye Yuan knew that if he didn't kill these people, they would endlessly come after him.

Seeing this, Ji Canglan narrowed his eyes and muttered, "This brat has grown a lot over the years! I thought these old acquaintances would cause him some trouble. Unexpectedly... he didn't even blink."

"Ji Canglan, you have lost all conscience and will die a miserable death!" Ye Yuan said coldly, looking at Ji Canglan.

Ji Canglan laughed, "Lost all conscience? Ji Qingyun, I am a demon. Don't you find it ridiculous to say such things to a demon? Once we occupy this Divine Realm, we... will be the heavens! As for you, having personally killed the elders and sectmates who once nurtured you, do you feel no shame? Even if they became demon slaves, they were at least alive. But now, you have personally taken away even their right to live!"

Ye Yuan's expression changed; clearly, Ji Canglan's words had shaken him!

Toward enemies, Ye Yuan was always decisive, not even blinking.

But toward those close to him, Ye Yuan always had a certain bond.

Even if these people had become demon slaves.

Just then, a warning sign suddenly arose in Ye Yuan's mind!

Countless blood beads emerged from the void, unknowingly surrounding him completely!

At this moment, Ye Yuan was like being trapped in a minefield, seemingly... with no escape.

"Puff puff puff..."

All those blood beads burst open in an instant!

In an instant, blood rain splattered.

Ye Yuan's expression changed, and he instinctively performed a great teleportation.

But it was too late!

Some blood beads stained his Evil-Slaying Divine Sword.

Some even splattered onto his body!

Ye Yuan's clothes and skin offered no resistance to these blood beads.

Once they landed on Ye Yuan, they corroded into his body.

Ye Yuan was greatly alarmed and quickly checked the changes in his body, his face turning pale!

After entering his body, these blood beads turned into a mass of blood-red mist, enveloping his Yuan Power sea.

When Ye Yuan circulated his Yuan power, he felt a intermittent, sluggish sensation!

Looking at the Evil-Slaying Sword, those blood beads had also disappeared, evidently corroding into the sword's interior!

Ye Yuan found that the power of the Evil-Slaying Sword seemed to be greatly weakened!

What the hell were these blood beads?

Watching this, Ji Canglan laughed loudly, "My good junior brother, you were too careless!"

After the blood beads burst, the entire sky seemed painted scarlet, looking extremely terrifying.

"Hahaha..."

Four figures stepped out from the void, their faces mocking.

"Ji Qingyun, how does it feel to be hit by the Defiled God Blood Beads?"

"Don't bother trying; these Defiled God Blood Beads can defile all things in the world! Once you're touched by even a little, your Yuan power will be corrupted and become unusable."

"Also, under this sky, our combat power increases by twenty percent! Yours, on the other hand, will be reduced by twenty percent!"

"Ji Qingyun, you are indeed powerful, but unfortunately... too foolish! Those wastes were useless. Dead is dead, yet you still pitied them. But then again, they served their purpose by distracting you. Now you're about to die too, do you think... they'll be moved? Hahaha..."

These four were four of Ji Canglan's six great protectors!
