24. Ye He’s Death

Not able to rise to his feet, Ye He, with his bloodshot eyes, knew clearly Ye Lan would never let go of him, so he began to curse her. Though he was a spiritual cultivator at the seventh stage, he, greatly bothered by the sharp pain, tried his best to attack Ye Lan with his spiritual power. However, for spiritual cultivators, a higher stage meant a large gap, let alone Ye Lan was three stages higher than him. With her spiritual power, as well as the endless spiritual sea in her body, Ye He’s attack wasn’t worth mentioning. Ye Lan thrust at him again, cutting down his left forearm. With a painful scream, Ye He covered his wound with his hand and slumped to the ground after running a few steps. The blood gushing out soaked the earth all around. Ye He had never thought he would be humiliated and slayed by the daughter he had always turned his back on!

Ye Lan intentionally cut his left forearm down. She wanted to ruin him completely. A scoundrel shouldn’t be alive.

Mother, Ye Lan had avenged you. Could you see it in the heaven?

Ye Lan raised her hand and produced a stream of spiritual power to Ye He, forming a flower-shaped print on the ground. All of a sudden, there came Ye He’s scream again, while his right forearm disappeared without a trace. Without forearms, he was no more than a dying dog lying on the ground with billowing yellow dust, as poor as Ye Lan and her mother clad in thin clothes kneeling on the ground covered by the heavy snow. He really deserved it!

“You deserve to die today!” As infuriated as Ye Lan was, she took out the sword called Qingliu Wanyue before hitting the ground with it forcefully, producing several sharp serrations on its edge. Compared with her spiritual power, this sword with sharp serrations would inflict more serious injuries on Ye He, thus the best weapon to send him to the hell!

With his painful shrill resounding in the air, Ye Lan cut down Ye He’s thighs. Until now, all of his limbs had been ruined, merely leaving his torso intact!

“Watch out, master!” There suddenly came Xiao Hei’s shout. Dozens of darts dashed to Ye Lan at the same time, totally impossible for her to dodge. Knowing Ye Lan was in danger, Libao suddenly rushed out from the ring before holding Ye Lan in its arms while meeting the darts with its strong back!

As a legendary beast, it couldn’t be hurt by any weapon in the human would, which, to him, was no more than a tickle.

How bold the enemy was to raid its master. He was courting for death!

“Bastard! Stop at once!” There suddenly came a howl full of great spiritual power, like an enormous tide pressing forward. Ye Lan produced a shield at once, barely protecting them from the deafening voice!

It was until Ye Lan dispersed the smog that they noticed an old man over seventy years old floating toward them on a wheelchair. Only a top-level cultivator could control the common things with his spiritual power! With a frown, Ye Lan, dragging Libao backward at first, took a step back. The old man stood beside Ye He, his eyes filled with sorrow and rage when seeing Ye He maimed by a young girl! His hand, as skinny as the root of a withered tree, clutched the handle of the wheelchair, as if wanting to digging a hole upon it.

Libao at once realized that the wheelchair was made of ironwood. It said while patting Ye Lan’s thigh, “The old guy must be very rich. He doesn’t feel hurt sitting in a wheelchair made of ironwood!”

“Ha-ha!” Ye Lan couldn’t help laughing. “Do you know which stage his spiritual power is at? I totally have no idea.”

“Let me have a look. On the name of the heaven and earth, reveal!” Libao drew something in the air before shooting it forward swiftly.

Ye Lan stared at him in curiosity. Libao’s face actually darkened gradually! “What happened?” Ye Lan asked with a frown.

With its face turning livid, Libao’s complexion was more terrible than that when its treasure was snatched away by Ye Lan.

There must be something wrong. Just as Ye Lan intended to ask, she was knocked far away by Libao as it shouted, “Move!”

It was after she crashed to the ground and ceased rolling that Ye Lan realized the old man launched a raid again. Libao bore his punch for her and suffered serious injury. Looking at the blood on its mouth corner, Li Bao couldn’t help feeling astonished. “Damn!” It slumped to the ground at once after swearing. Ye Lan, with her bloodshot eyes, spread her spiritual wings and rushed to the old man. Without a trace of fear on his face, the old man reproached Ye Lan harshly, “How ferocious you are to kill your father and elder sister, even other innocent people in the Ye family. I must slay you to defend justice!”

As soon as the combat began, Ye Lan knew that she was not a match to the old man whose spiritual power was at least one stage higher than hers!

Ye Lan tried her best to defend against him. The old man in the ring could merely teach her knowledge on training, totally useless at the moment; while Libao hadn’t waken up till now. As a legendary beast, why would he suffer such a serious hurt due to a cultivator from the human world? There was no time for Ye Lan to ponder on it. Thinking of Libao spitting blood, she couldn’t help remembering her mother would rather sacrifice herself to keep her intact!

With the rage rising in her heart, Ye Lan actually forced the old man to take several steps back. However, he flied back on the wheelchair and launched a attack, too fast for Ye Lan to avoid. Spurting a big mouthful of blood, Ye Lan fell to the ground in dizziness, as if her soul had left her body. Would she give in like that? No way! She hadn’t killed Ye He yet. “Ah....” As soon as she was going to reach the ground, all the grievance in her body was forced out by her continuous scream just then. Ye Lan bounced back to the old man’s behind swiftly before launching a punch unexpectedly to the old man who was sent to the ground dozens of meters away!

Libao finally woke up. It was beyond its expectation that it would fail in using the magic. A legendary beast was knocked out by a human being! Ye Lan would surely laugh at it. Walking to and fro for a little while, it had regained less than half of its spiritual power. Though its vitality damaged due to the old man’s punch, it still tried its best to attack the old man when seeing Ye Lan wasn’t a match to him. “Damn! You deserved it!”

Fighting against two enemies at the same time, the old man had suffered from internal injury. He retreated as launching counterattacks, stuck in a deadlock with Ye Lan and Libao.

“He must have come from the Ye family! Have you met before?” Libao asked in fury.

“No, I haven’t!” Wiping the blood at her mouth corner, Ye Lan combed through her memory, but still couldn’t remember such an old geezer. She was surprised that there was such a powerful spiritual cultivator in the Ye family. Were they doomed to fail today? Ye Lan stared at the old man, her eyes full of unwillingness, while the old man had clearly heard their words!

“I am your great grand father. Since you have massacred the Ye family, I must kill you to show my condolence to all the family members!” With a howl in rage, the old man conjured the source of his spiritual power in the color of gray brown. All of a sudden, Ye Lan and Libao were besieged by the violent tornadoes. Ye Lan and Libao stood back to back subconsciously out of fear. “Leave as soon as possible or you will be torn into pieces. The old man is too powerful!”

“Could you say something useful, old man! We can’t get out now!” Libao shouted in rage!

“Aren’t you a legendary beast? Why are you so weak?” Ye Lan glanced sideways at Libao before continuing, “Xiao Hei is coming soon! As long as we can hold on for a while!”

“Damned! I just came out from the forest, still not getting used to the human society!” They complained incessantly while avoiding the arrows shot to them at times.

“Unsurprisingly, the Ye Family is made up of scoundrels, including this old asshole!” Libaoswore.

As the power of the magical ward turned stronger, the sky darkened, numerous stones, as well as a lot of sand swirled all around. Enveloped by dozens of tornadoes in spin, Ye Lan and Libao had to exert themselves to avoid the continuous attacks!

Covering her face with her hands, Ye Lan was amused by his words. A gash would be produced on the skin if touching the leaves and stones in spin. Clad in the dress made of the top-level silk from the wild silkworm given by Libao, there was no wound on Ye Lan’s body, but there were many on her face, neck and hands. Even Libao with the toughest skin still couldn’t bear the sharp pain!

Being able to laugh in such emergency, Ye Lan thought she was really strong!

“Move, Libao!” Knowing he had suffered from internal injury due to the punch just then, Ye Lan kept having an eye on Libao, in order to promise his safety. The old man, with his bloodshot eyes, was collecting all of his spiritual powers. It was obvious that he wanted to perish with them all together!

Though disappointed, Ye Lan refused to give up.
