“Tch.”
Qingxuan snorted in dissatisfaction.
Covered in blood from the beating, the white-furred werewolf saw things going south and immediately activated his talent 【Moon-Treading Flash Steps】 to turn tail and run.
Swish—
His figure instantly transformed into a white afterimage, fleeing madly toward the outside of the mountain.
This was exactly what Jiang Ye had been waiting for.
He even had the leisure to send a voice transmission to Gu Qingxue:
“Hold onto my waist.”
In the next second.
Boom!
A majestic force surged out of the greatsword, transforming into an invisible pressure that crashed down on the white afterimage!
The white-furred werewolf, who was running for his life, suddenly froze in place.
Unable to move.
【Suppression】!
After a single strike, Jiang Ye felt completely drained. Seeing stars, he began to fall backward.
A pair of soft hands reacted with lightning speed, tightly wrapping around his waist.
The tsundere Qingxuan, already annoyed at being interrupted earlier, immediately kicked him while he was down:
“You're so weak.”
Jiang Ye: “...”
He didn't even have the energy to retort. He grabbed another handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth.
“Awoooo—!!”
Pinned firmly in place, the white-furred werewolf's eyes filled with despair, and he began to howl at the top of his lungs.
Jiang Ye forced himself to shout:
“Quick, stop that dog from howling! He's sending a signal!”
Before his voice even faded, Gu Qingxue swung her sword with a backhand.
The extremely cold 【Frost Soul Sword Intent】 attached to the sword qi and tore through the air.
It instantly froze the werewolf's snout and jaw into a solid block of ice.
Ye Jinghong's movements were just as decisive.
The dozens of illusory sword shadows around him instantly solidified, raining down like a torrential storm onto the white-furred werewolf's legs!
Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!
The muffled sounds of sharp blades piercing flesh rang out in rapid succession.
Amidst the white-furred werewolf's whimpers of pain, the legs he took such pride in were instantly riddled with holes, reduced to a bloody mess.
With a dull thud.
Deprived of the support of his legs, the werewolf was pressed flat against the ground by the force of the suppression.
The ice covering his snout shattered onto the ground as well, but he didn't dare howl again. Clearly, he had recognized the situation and was trying to think of a way to survive.
Right at that moment.
Swish—
A flying boat bearing a cyan flag sped over and came to a steady halt above them.
“Zhao Zonghan! You bastard, how dare you betray the White Wolf Clan! You are dead!!”
The werewolf, pinned to the ground, roared hoarsely into the air, his eyes bloodshot.
At the edge of the flying boat's deck.
Zhao Zonghan stood against the wind.
He had originally rushed over to reinforce them after hearing the wolf's howl, but when he poked his head out, he was completely thunderstruck.
Below, the formation had shattered, and severed limbs littered the ground.
The demon race's base... had actually been flattened just like that?
A chilling thought instantly exploded in his mind:
Could it be... that the Peak Master of Sword Peak had personally charged over?!
At this thought, cold sweat instantly drenched Zhao Zonghan's back.
Run?
No!
He roared hysterically in his heart:
I can't run! I absolutely cannot run! If I run now, it's equivalent to pleading guilty on the spot, confirming that I'm a traitor. That would be pure suicide!
His thoughts raced.
Zhao Zonghan forced a smile onto his face.
With a wave of his hand, he shot a look at the Beast-Taming Peak disciples behind him and quickly leaped down from the flying boat.
The moment he landed, Zhao Zonghan quickly walked toward Jiang Ye and the others. Instantly adopting an air of righteous indignation, he cupped his hands and called out:
“Out of absolute necessity and to avoid raising suspicion, I could only leak the clues to you in this secret manner so you could investigate first. I hope you can forgive me!”
A flash of surprise crossed the eyes of Gu Qingxue and Ye Jinghong.
If these secrets really did come from an informant within Beast-Taming Peak, it would indeed explain "Junior Sister Bai's" ridiculously foresightful planning.
But Zhao Zonghan's faction had always been at daggers drawn with Sword Peak. Was this a genuine defection from the dark side, or did he have other motives?
The corners of Jiang Ye's mouth curled up into a playful, cold smile.
He leisurely took two steps forward:
“Oh? So the news I received was actually sent by you, Senior Brother Zhao?”
“But I heard that someone has been secretly colluding with the demon race, constantly feeding these demons with the flesh and blood of mortals here for the past ten years.”
Zhao Zonghan's pupils dilated instantly.
But his expression remained unchanged as he immediately replied:
“Exactly! It was precisely because I noticed that a traitor had emerged within our Beast-Taming Peak, which filled me with grief and indignation, that I...”
“Zhao Zonghan! You lowly, shameless human!”
The white-furred werewolf on the ground was about to go mad with rage. His eyes nearly splitting with fury, he roared:
“My Lord will absolutely not let you off!!”
Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow, sizing up Zhao Zonghan with an amused look:
“Hear that? Where is this 'Lord' that this piece of trash is talking about?”
A drop of cold sweat slid down Zhao Zonghan's temple. Forcing himself to stay calm, he said:
“About that... I am still investigating in secret.”
Jiang Ye's eyes turned cold.
Investigating my ass.
Seeing that he couldn't squeeze any valuable information out, he didn't bother acting with this little punk anymore.
The black greatsword instantly materialized in his palm.
Without any warning, the greatsword swung around in a powerful, charged strike, viciously slamming toward Zhao Zonghan!
The distance was simply too close.
Zhao Zonghan's mind was entirely focused on guarding against the two Golden Cores beside him. How could he have expected a "weak" Foundation Establishment junior sister to suddenly launch a violent attack?
Bam!!
A dull squelch of bone and flesh!
The violent force sent Zhao Zonghan flying backward for over a dozen meters as he spat out a mouthful of blood, crashing heavily into a pile of rubble.
“Senior Brother Zhao!!”
The Beast-Taming Peak disciples behind him were scared out of their wits, instinctively beginning to summon their demon beasts.
Jiang Ye dragged the greatsword, his voice bone-chillingly cold:
“Go.”
“Whoever resists, dies.”
Swish! Swish!
Two sword shadows shot out without the slightest hesitation.
It was a fine tradition of Sword Peak: when a fight was initiated, everyone immediately followed up.
Before many of the Beast-Taming Peak disciples could even react, their demon beasts were chopped into tiny pieces, scaring them so badly that a few drops of pee actually squeezed out.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
“Don't kill me! I surrender! I surrender!!”
A crowd of people held their heads in their hands, smoothly kneeling down in unison.
“Aaaaaah—! You bitch! You're looking for death!!”
Zhao Zonghan's heart-wrenching screams echoed from the distance.
Whoosh!
A white python as thick as a water bucket whipped its tail wildly, spitting out deep blue ice flames as it lunged toward Jiang Ye.
Facing this incoming "white spicy strip," Jiang Ye didn't even blink.
He swung his blood-colored greatsword in a wide arc and smashed it down!
Splat!
The white python's massive head was instantly smashed into the ground, creating a large crater in the earth, performing a very thorough physical exorcism.
Jiang Ye bent down, picked up the snake's tail, and shook it, muttering in disgust:
“The meat looks decent. Once we find that white wolf, we can cook up a pot of Dragon-Tiger Fight.”
The scene fell into a dead silence.
Covered in blood and rolling in the mud, Zhao Zonghan's screams got caught in his throat, forced back down.
His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he stared fixedly at the white-clothed girl before him.
This terrifying strength... is this fucking Foundation Establishment?
Could this really be Nangong Yue in disguise, out here conducting a sting operation?!
Jiang Ye casually swept the dead snake's carcass into his spatial ring. Carrying the dripping greatsword, he walked toward Zhao Zonghan step by step.
Zhao Zonghan was scared out of his wits, and the beast-taming ring on his hand lit up once more.
A massive 【Earth Violent Bear】 and a heavily armored 【Green-Patterned Mystic Rock Turtle】 materialized out of thin air, roaring as they lunged from the left and right!
Jiang Ye casually swung his sword.
Swish!
A massive bear head soared into the sky...
He followed up with a backhand sweep.
Crack!
The green-patterned turtle head rolled onto the ground...
