Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Turning Black and White_1
Ye Ming sneered coldly and his words became increasingly blunt.
"Even if you begged me to enter Wanhua Valley, I would never do it. Someone like you, pretending to be virtuous, only makes me feel contempt and disgust." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"If you want to fight, then come and fight me. Doesn’t putting on this act tire you?"
Ye Ming’s words completely blocked off Elder Tao’s path to continue his facade.
Being called out so directly, even someone with a good temper like Elder Tao couldn’t keep up the act. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
He said coldly, "Ye Ming, do you really insist on being so obstinate? Are you aware of the strength of Wanhua Valley? What you’re doing is digging your own grave, do you understand?"
"Do you think, just because you were able to defeat the four major sects, you are capable of challenging Wanhua Valley?"
Ye Ming’s fury had reached its peak, and he had no more patience left for Elder Tao.
Such a disgusting person was no longer worthy of speaking another half sentence to him.
"If we’re going to fight, then let’s fight. Less talk!"
True Qi transformed into Sword Qi in his palm. Ye Ming’s eyes filled with a murderous intent, and with a leap, he launched an attack directly at Elder Tao.
Elder Tao was not at all frightened, sneering coldly, "Since you refuse the toast only to drink the penalty wine, don’t blame me for being impolite! It will be good for you to witness the power of Wanhua Valley!"
"After all, those things on your person are something I’m determined to have!"
"Shadow!"
After a shout, an additional figure suddenly appeared on a nearby rooftop.
His body was withered, and he was holding a sharp knife, ready for action.
Everyone who saw this was shocked.
"Isn’t this the master swordsman, Yang Wulin, who suddenly appeared five years ago?"
"He disappeared from the martial world a year ago, I didn’t expect he would now be serving Wanhua Valley!"
This withered figure was the once-wandering master swordsman, highly skilled and rarely met with a match in the martial world, but he went to Wanhua Valley seeking an Elixir to break through his own limits.
Since then, stories of Yang Wulin vanished from the martial world.
It was unexpected that today, everyone would see this master once again.
Elder Tao said coldly, "Everyone, you must be mistaken, he is not Yang Wulin, he is a new Guard of Wanhua Valley."
"Take action."
At his command, the shadow fell from the sky, his sharp knife aiming straight for Ye Ming.
The knife’s light twinkled in the air, descending from above towards Ye Ming’s head.
The Sword Qi he emitted was chilling to the bone, inducing a profound fear in people, a fear that originated from death itself.
Elder Tao sneered, muttering, "Arrogant fool, today I shall let you see for yourself the Human Puppet I personally refined. After my modifications, its bodily functions have increased tenfold over that of a normal person, both speed and physical strength are top-notch, and I’ve greatly improved his sword techniques as well. You can’t defend against it."
"I can’t wait to see him cut you in half!"
However, his expectations did not materialize.
That seemingly rapid blade, in Ye Ming’s eyes, had slowed down by many times.
Ye Ming, wielding Sword Qi made of Spiritual Energy, easily deflected the opponent’s attack.
After the exchange, Ye Ming noticed something amiss, "Is this actually a dead man? Could it be this is the legendary Human Puppet technique?"
"What sort of evil individuals must be hiding in Wanhua Valley to refine a dead man into a Human Puppet? I can’t believe it! Or perhaps, Wanhua Valley has always been a place of evil?"
It turned out that this person called Shadow by Elder Tao was indeed the master swordsman, Yang Wulin. However, he had already lost his soul and was being controlled by Elder Tao.
Such an evil practice filled Ye Ming with anger,
With a puff, Ye Ming used his Qi Sword to directly split the Human Puppet in front of him in two.
With a clatter, the sword in the Human Puppet’s hand dropped to the ground.
The air seemed to freeze at that moment.
People watched the scene before them in disbelief, finding it utterly inconceivable.
Ye Ming’s sword speed had already reached a realm so swift that it could not be captured by the naked eye.
Even this master of swordsmanship was no match.
"What?" Elder Tao’s eyes bulged as he looked at his Human Puppet in immense pain.
He had expended a great deal of medicinal materials to cultivate this Human Puppet, but it had been cleaved in two after only a few moves at Ye Ming’s hand.
He was so angry that he was nearly going mad and cursed, "Ye Ming, you bastard, you actually killed a Guard of Wanhua Valley!"
Ye Ming said coldly, "You’re the bastard, turning a dead person into a Human Puppet, causing even the dead to be unable to rest in peace, utterly devoid of conscience!"
"I just sent him on his way in peace, and next, your fate will be even more miserable than his!"
Having said that, Ye Ming leaped forward, charging toward Elder Tao.
Elder Tao only had expertise in refining Elixirs and was utterly no match in physical strength or skill, just an ordinary person. In his haste, he retreated a step and hid within the crowd, appearing extremely awkward and without the airs of superiority he had just shown.
He pointed at Ye Ming’s nose and cursed, "Ye Ming, you dare to lay a hand on me? Do you want to make an enemy of Wanhua Valley?"
Ye Ming chuckled lightly, "We already are!"
"You..." Elder Tao was at a loss for words, shaking with rage as he pointed at Ye Ming and cursed, "Alright, you bastard Ye Ming, do you think I really have no way to deal with you?"
"Damn it, I’ll issue a Wanhua Bounty on you!"
"Let everyone here listen, this thief Ye Ming stole treasures from Wanhua Valley and even killed my Guard; he is utterly wicked, a vile criminal beyond redemption!"
"Whoever helps me kill Ye Ming can freely choose a treasure from Wanhua Valley!"
Such words carried significant weight.
Wanhua Valley was home to numerous treasures, not only Elixirs but also many Divine weapons. It was a treasure trove, and any random item was a rare and unparalleled treasure.
If one could obtain an item, their strength would inevitably undergo an earth-shattering transformation.
Heavy rewards bring out brave men, and Elder Tao’s words immediately stirred everyone’s enthusiasm.
At that moment, there were already people itching to try.
"Everyone, attack, killing Ye Ming will get you a treasure!"
"Let’s all from our sects attack together, we can share the treasures later!"
"No matter how powerful he is, he’s just one person. With our sea of people strategy, we will wear him down to death!"
Once someone took the lead, others surged forward immediately, launching their attacks on Ye Ming.
In the end, everyone present, anyone who coveted the treasures, joined the ranks against Ye Ming.
Facing the oncoming crowd, Ye Ming’s face was filled with indifference.
"Is this the way of martial artists?"
"How contemptible!"
"Die!"
Ye Ming bellowed, a great amount of murderous aura erupted from him, and a terrifying burst of energy waves emanated from his body, scattering many of those who rushed toward him.
He then picked up a long sword from his feet and began to hack at the crowd.
With several splashing sounds, blood sprayed everywhere.
Those who charged at him first were immediately turned into bloody mist by Ye Ming’s sword.
He launched an indiscriminate attack, unleashing his full strength, and charged into the crowd.
