Capítulo 1586: Chapter 1586: These Bastards!

“Help what? It’s pure nonsense! Have them fall back immediately!” Ye Xiao said angrily.

“Well…” Ye Qing seemed “troubled” and said, “Big brother, these people are already here. If we rashly ask them to retreat, I’m afraid it will cause dissatisfaction!”

“What’s there to be dissatisfied about? They are disobeying orders; it’s already good I’m not punishing them!” Ye Xiao insisted.

Ye Qing could not help but frown as his eyes darted briskly. Naturally, he wouldn’t let these people retreat. First, it was his idea to have them attack in the first place; calling them back would be a blow to him.

Secondly, he wasn’t really one to follow Ye Xiao’s orders at all costs, otherwise he wouldn’t have manipulated them when passing them earlier.

“Big brother, why be like this? Isn’t what you want to kill Ye Haochuan? Wouldn’t it be better this way? We won’t even need to lift a finger; there’s someone doing it for us!”

“Bastard, winning in this way, what will others think of me?”

Ye Xiao was furious, feeling like Ye Qing was usually clever, but how could he be so dense at a crucial moment?

Ye Qing knew Ye Xiao’s thoughts well, but he had his own agenda, so he naturally wouldn’t echo Ye Xiao. Instead, he said, “Things have already come to this point, brother, even if you pull everyone back, others are bound to have suspicions!”

“This…” Ye Xiao was left speechless.

Indeed, people were already in place, and even without anyone making a fuss, it would inevitably be thought of as his idea.

Seeing Ye Xiao waver, Ye Qing hastened to stoke the fire, “Big brother, you don’t have to be so conflicted. As long as you kill Ye Haochuan, you’ll still be the number one genius. Who dares to question you? Besides, there’s nothing wrong with seeking allies in a team battle; it’s strategy and a show of strength too!”

Ye Xiao fell silent. Strategy didn’t concern him much; what he was focused on was killing Ye Haochuan.

He harbored deep hatred towards Ye Haochuan for a long time. As long as he could kill Ye Haochuan, any means would be irresistibly tempting to him.

Furthermore, as Ye Qing said, things were already out of hand; explanations were futile. Apart from accepting it grudgingly, he had no other option.

Thinking this, he stopped opposing it. He continued to withhold his attack, feeling this might preserve some dignity.

“Despicable villain!” Langfan and others couldn’t help but curse.

Ye Haochuan’s expression changed slightly as he shook his head, “I didn’t expect the renowned number one genius Ye Xiao to act like this. Truly an eye-opener for me!”

Ye Haochuan’s mocking words reached Ye Xiao’s ears. Ye Xiao’s face turned livid, but he didn’t know how to respond and pretended not to hear.

“Well then, let these guys see the true power of the Genius Seven Kills Formation!” Ye Haochuan replied unyieldingly.

With that, he raised his hand, using “Sword Destroying Star”, and struck a team, shredding the just-formed cheetah phantom into dust.

These people clearly didn’t expect Ye Haochuan, under the Genius Seven Kills Formation’s enhancement, to be so powerful, leaving them momentarily at a loss.

Their strength was far inferior to Ye Xiao’s team. How could they face Ye Haochuan in a single round?

After a successful strike, Ye Haochuan swiftly switched targets, using the Divine Concealment Sword to slash at another team.

However, this team wasn’t as easy to kill as the first. This team had formed a Black Tortoise, known for its superb defensive power.

Clang~

The massive blade of Sword Destroying Star embedded into the tortoise shell, but didn’t break it completely.

However, the Black Tortoise was also heavily impacted, its phantom dimming markedly. The team forming the Black Tortoise, several spewed a mouthful of reverse blood, indicating severe injuries.

“A bunch of useless fools!” Originally intending to watch from the sidelines, Ye Xiao’s face twisted in displeasure.

It’s shameful enough to be outnumbering the enemy; if the larger side still couldn’t win, that would be a true affront.

Ye Xiao no longer hesitated, the Dragon-Tiger Formation assembled again. With a long howl, he charged at Ye Haochuan.

Ye Haochuan was about to break another team’s formation when he saw Ye Xiao charging and dared not be careless, quickly returning his sword to block.

While he could disregard other teams, Ye Xiao’s team posed significant combat strength, necessitating cautious handling.

Seeing Ye Xiao’s team engaging Ye Haochuan, the other teams relaxed, maneuvering around, seeking opportunities to strike.

“Leopard Shadow Kill!” The team whose formation was previously shattered by Ye Haochuan’s sword, had unknowingly reassembled their cheetah phantom, aiming at Guan Ling, the most active outside Ye Haochuan in the Genius Seven Kills.

Guan Ling, despite the advantage of the Genius Seven Kills Formation, and as its leader, was only at the Core Formation Early Stage, limiting his combat capacity.

Faced with a full force strike from a formation, he was gravely wounded.

This team, having succeeded in their attack, showed sinister grins, preparing to strike Guan Ling again, intending to kill him on the spot.

“Bastards!” Ye Haochuan raged at the sight, disregarding Ye Xiao’s attack, quickly executing the Great Yan Step to rush over.

He couldn’t afford not to be angry; earlier, he had dispelled the phantom this team formed, and another strike would have finished them. He had spared them kindly, yet they not only lacked gratitude but sought to kill Guan Ling.

Sssh~

Ye Haochuan cut off the leopard’s paw with a swift sword stroke, but failed to fend off Ye Xiao’s strike, receiving a long cut at his waist.

This was due to his timely side-step; otherwise, that blow would have cleaved him in two.

“Alliance Hierarch, I’m sorry! I…” Guan Ling, seeing Ye Haochuan injured to protect him, showed a face full of guilt.

“Don’t speak, hold on!” Guan Ling was gravely injured; Ye Haochuan quickly fed him a Revival Pill, barely stabilizing his condition.

“Their formation is broken, attack!” The attackers showed no remorse, charging forward with excitement.

Within the formation, all members compose a unit. Losing anyone makes the formation incomplete. Guan Ling, now severely wounded, struggles to sustain it, effectively leaving the Genius Seven Kills Formation broken.

Even Ye Xiao, unbothered by the so-called grace, led his team forward with glee.

Seeing his excitement, it was clear he envisioned Ye Haochuan falling under his sword.

“These bastards!” Ye Haochuan glanced angrily around, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Though furious, he could slaughter mercilessly, inflicting heavy losses upon these people alone. But such actions would endanger his remaining companions.

In this situation, only by switching to defensive control could all be safeguarded.

Ke Yan, as the heart of the formation, matched Ye Haochuan in grasping the battle situation. His expression shifted as he firmly called, “Control Formation!”

Clang~

As soon as the Control Formation’s defensive shield rose, it was met with countless attacks. Guan Ling let out a “ugh”, spitting a mouthful of blood, his aura diminishing drastically.
