Capítulo 1588: Chapter 1588: Now, It’s Time to Watch My Performance!

The sudden appearance of a barrier caused Long Wei’s brow to furrow deeply.

He seemed to finally understand why his words were so blatantly ignored.

This venue above had never planned for a barrier, and its appearance was truly bizarre.

However, at this moment, he had no time to think about how the barrier appeared because the chaos below was already boiling over, and he had to quickly break through the barrier to stop it.

Clang~

Long Wei’s halberd smashed down; even an expert at the Nascent Soul Late Stage would struggle to withstand it. But when it struck this barrier, it didn’t even cause a ripple. Instead, he was left with his hands and feet numb from the shock.

Unwilling to give up, Long Wei used every bit of his strength to strike again, but the result was the same. Some of the spectators around also noticed something was wrong and came to help, causing a continuous noise on the barrier.

Beneath the barrier, Ye Haochuan also saw Long Wei’s unusual behavior, but he had no time to think further. After hardening himself against Ye Xiao’s three or four attacks, even with his formidable strength, he felt as if all the bones in his body were about to disintegrate, and he had already spat several liters of blood.

Damn it, why isn’t it working yet?

Ye Haochuan felt a sense of panic, worried that if it dragged on, he wouldn’t be able to hold on any longer.

“Hmm?” Ye Xiao was puzzled by Ye Haochuan’s actions and followed his gaze.

As he saw Ke Yan’s actions, he frowned. He didn’t know about the imprinting, but intuition told him that what Ke Yan was doing was definitely no good for him.

“Stop her quickly!” As Ye Xiao lightly shouted, a giant dragon charged out, heading towards Ke Yan and Long Keyue.

Ye Haochuan’s face changed drastically, swiftly using the Great Yan Step to intercept.

“Your opponent is me!”

Whoosh~

Ye Haochuan luckily triggered the Divine Concealment Sword’s rapid effect, immediately intercepting the head of the dragon. The price of this interception was a crack on the Divine Concealment Sword.

After all, the Divine Concealment Sword was merely a Treasure-Level Mid-Stage magical treasure, bearing so many attacks at such intensity had reached its limit.

Ye Haochuan felt a deep ache in his heart; the Divine Concealment Sword had accompanied him since before he established his Foundation. In countless perilous situations where death seemed certain, it had helped him turn the tide. Now, seeing the Divine Concealment Sword so severely damaged, how could he not feel sorrow?

But despite his sorrow, he dared not put the Divine Concealment Sword away, for he still needed it to block Ye Xiao; otherwise, Long Keyue and the others would be in danger.

Blocked by Ye Haochuan, Ye Xiao’s attacks grew even more frenzied, yet Ye Haochuan was even more desperate, willing to sustain numerous injuries to hold them off.

Seeing no way through for the moment, Ye Xiao grew anxious. He had already witnessed the power of the Genius Seven Kills Formation, and if Ke Yan continued uninterrupted, the opportunity he had fought so hard for might vanish.

“Damn it, you bunch of idiots are still watching the show? Get in there!” Ye Xiao shouted to the surrounding onlookers, completely dropping his first-genius demeanor.

This was the group of people who had previously besieged Ye Haochuan and his allies. Each team had at least one member injured by Ye Haochuan’s Nine-Tailed Sword Qi attack.

Their formations were broken and thoroughly intimidated by Ye Haochuan. So, when Ye Xiao attacked Ye Haochuan, they refrained from attacking, fearing that in an outburst, Ye Haochuan might unleash those terrifying nine tails and slaughter them instantly.

It was only upon hearing Ye Xiao’s words did they snap out of it. They couldn’t defeat Ye Haochuan, but they could attack the other members of his team.

Perhaps embarrassed by their previous actions, their assaults were exceedingly fierce, as if trying to regain some lost face.

“Damn it!” Ye Haochuan was frantic inside, yet found himself unable to act on multiple fronts.

“Don’t worry, I’ll handle them!” Long Yang suddenly shouted, charging out.

A mask had mysteriously covered his face.

Masked, Long Yang seemed to transform into a cold-blooded assassin. He darted into the crowd, his Halberd of Heaven and Earth swung with an eerie trajectory, and seemingly every blow could topple an enemy.

While he couldn’t help Ye Haochuan much in the battle against Ye Xiao, against these teams, he was like a wolf among sheep.

Even though some of these teams had experts at the Core Formation Late Stage or even Peak, Long Yang was so fast they couldn’t channel their cultivation techniques effectively.

Due to his cultivation level, he perhaps couldn’t easily slaughter a Core Formation Peak expert, but his uncanny strength left them all frustrated.

On the other side, Liu Sheng emerged fiercely, two unusually strong arms manifesting, wielding a longsword that danced up and down. Core Formation Mid-Stage cultivators couldn’t withstand even a single strike.

With Meng Rui’s flute resounding, the savagery of these two wolves intensified, their killing sprees becoming even more frenzied.

The besieging teams, each having members already slain by Ye Haochuan, could not form formations and were utterly unable to withstand the duo’s assault.

Bam~

Ye Haochuan was pummeled again, and this time, the Heart Thunder Armor couldn’t protect him. His injuries were so severe he was almost a blood-soaked figure.

Stubbornly he rose again, casting a gaze at Ye Xiao filled not with hatred but with mockery. For he now saw Long Keyue coming his way.

“Ye Xiao, you’ve had your fun. Now, it’s my turn to perform!”

With each musical note Ye Haochuan uttered came a bit of blood, and combined with his somewhat crazed demeanor, anyone witnessing it would shiver to their core.

Ye Xiao’s teeth were nearly crushed from clenching. Such a golden opportunity had not yielded Ye Haochuan’s death; Ye Haochuan’s life force was undeniably robust.

“Don’t boast. Look at you, half-dead like that, how much force can you still bring to the fight?” Ye Xiao snorted coldly.

“Oh? What if I tell you that even when alone against the ten of you just now, I wasn’t using my full strength?” Ye Haochuan suddenly sneered.

He hadn’t even used his final trump card, the “Heaven-Penetrating Barrier”, so it really wasn’t his full strength.

Saying this, he took out a Blood Condensation Revival Pill and popped it into his mouth. Almost instantly, his injuries began healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In a normal competition, taking a pill would naturally be forbidden. But anyone could see that the arena had turned into something far from a competition; it was more like hell for mutual slaughter.

Even though the healing effect of the Snow Condensation Revival Pill wasn’t as potent as its detoxification effect, using it now seemed somewhat wasteful. But at this moment, Ye Haochuan couldn’t afford to care about such details.

As he rapidly recovered from his injuries, the killing intent in his eyes didn’t diminish in the slightest. He growled in a low voice, “Genius Seven Kills Formation, kill!”
