Chapter 404, Killing in Plain Sight

“The Huang Family has sent their men too?” Upon hearing this, Ye Wuxian’s brows furrowed. “Troubles really do come one after another…”
Lu Fan remained composed, and after some thought, he accepted it as part of life. “Isn’t it normal?”
“The Huang Family probably heard that the Loong Family came, so they rushed over together to prevent the Loong Family from taking all the benefits. Right now, the Huang Family are like starved dogs. They can’t resist the slightest scent of blood. They are no longer willing to wait. They want to immediately feast on the flesh and blood of the Ye Family.” Ye Wuxian was clever. She knew that the Huang Family must have learned about Loong Erhu bringing his men to the Ye Family. Their hasty intrusion into the Ye Family mansion was because they did not want the Loong Family to gain the upper hand.
She looked at Lu Fan and asked, “How should we deal with the Huang Family? Let them in and deal with them the same way?”
Lu Fan pondered for a moment, then smiled. “Originally, I did have that idea, but since Huang Yutian is the one who came, that’s a different matter.”
“Senior Sister, if I remember correctly, Huang Yutian was the one who injured you before, right?”
Ye Wuxian nodded and said. “Yes, he has a Hidden Profession, Peerless Sword Cultivator. His Skills are fierce and deadly, and his Level is higher than mine. I heard he managed to reach Level 98 a few months ago and that his Combat Power is a close match to the Huang Family Elder.”
Lu Fan gave a cold laugh. “Since he has injured you, I’ll make him pay back a hundredfold, no matter how strong he is!”
After speaking, the Puppet Sub-Space was opened again, and two Shadow Dragon Human Kings emerged from it. They quickly vanished into nothingness, entering a state of Concealment.
At the same time, Loong Erhu, who had been transformed into a Fallen Corpse Puppet, strode forward with powerful steps.
The front courtyard of the Ye Family Residence was now in disarray.
Earlier when the Loong Family forced their way in, the Ye Family and Loong Family had already clashed here, destroying many buildings.
Before the Ye Family could clean up the mess, the Huang Family had arrived, causing no end of trouble for the Ye Family members.
Many from the Ye Family were injured, but none retreated. They were unwilling to let their Family’s dignity be trampled upon again and again.
Huang Yutian stood with his hands behind his back, showing no intention to act. Instead, he let his followers push back the Ye Family members to clear a path straight to the main hall.
Unfortunately, although the Ye Family followers were few in number and had few powerful Players, they were all extremely tenacious. They refused to give ground even when injured.
This made Huang Yutian feel impatient, as a white jade flying sword condensed in front of him, emitting light indicating an impending Skill being activated.
“Get out of my way! If anyone dares to block me, don’t blame me for not showing respect to your Ye Family’s deceased Elders!” Huang Yutian’s voice was cold.
The guards became even more enraged upon hearing these words, and one Level 80 Swordsman angrily shouted. “Your Huang Family still dares to mention our Ye Family Elders? If our Elders were still here, would your Huang Family dare to be so arrogant? Would you dare to cause trouble at our Ye Family Residence!?”
Hearing these words, Huang Yutian felt anger rising in his heart. “So what if I cause trouble here? Can you bring those Elders back from the dead?”
With that, Huang Yutian no longer held back. Pointing casually, the flying sword immediately thrust toward the guard. Clearly, it was a Skill that does considerable Damage.
With Huang Yutian’s Combat Power, this single Skill would ensure that anyone below the Fourth Profession would die, unless they were a Holy Shield Knight who had activated Holy Light Protection beforehand.
Originally, the friction between the three Ancient Noble Families meant that no one dared to openly kill. If they wanted to kill, they would only send their experts to secretly assassinate members of the other Families, not do it openly.
Therefore, all along, even though the Huang and Loong Families wanted the Ye Family’s resources, they always had ‘legitimate reasons’, and even if there were conflicts, they would not kill out in the open. Otherwise, Ye Wuxian would have already been killed by Huang Yutian back then.
Now that the Ye Family was gradually declining in power, Huang Yutian gradually stopped caring about such considerations. He thought that directly killing a few people at the Ye Family would have the effect of ‘killing the chicken to scare the monkey’. In other words, a way to force Ye Wuxian to submit.
This attack was thus aimed at taking the life of this guard.
The guard also knew Huang Yutian intended to kill, but the difference in Combat Power was too great. He could not even dodge Huang Yutian’s attack, let alone defend against it, and could only helplessly await death.
“In broad daylight, you dare to kill at the Ye Family Residence!? Seems like the Huang Family has really gone too far!” Following a light rebuke, a Fire Dragon shot out. Its momentum was magnificent, and it collided with Huang Yutian’s flying sword.
*Boom!* With a tremendous boom, the flying sword was knocked back, returning to Huang Yutian’s side.
Huang Yutian narrowed his eyes slightly, showing no trace of panic. Rather, his smile deepened.
Ye Wuxian used Flight to fly out, landing in the front. With a wave of her hand, the Heaven Incinerator Spear that had been stuck in the ground flew back to her hand, flames rising and roaring.
Her expression was dark. Suppressing her rage, she coldly smiled, “Huang Yutian, your Huang Family is really becoming more lawless! Previously, assassinating our people to pressure us is one thing, but now you even dare to come to our door and openly kill our people. Does your Huang Family really think you can act without restraint in the Western Border?”
Huang Yutian remained composed, and as his clothes fluttered, more and more flying swords appeared around him.
“So what if we do?” Huang Yutian smiled. “I’ve come to your Ye Family, and your guards actually dares to obstruct me. It’s only natural that I teach them a lesson in your place!”
“Killing is what you consider a small punishment?” Ye Wuxian became even more angry at his casual attitude. It was clear he did not take the Ye Family seriously at all.
“Since your Huang Family has ended up killing at our doorstep, don’t blame our Ye Family for being ruthless! Everyone heed to my command, show no mercy, kill without hesitation! All invading enemies can be slain!”
“Yes!” The Ye Family guards all loudly roared. Those who could return to the Ye Family at this time were all people with great spirit and great loyalty to the Ye Family. Naturally, they were prepared for death and were unafraid of the Huang Family.
However, these words and actions of Ye Wuxian and the Ye Family only earned contempt from Huang Yutian and the Huang Family members.
Huang Yutian laughed, “Kill without hesitation? Since when did your Ye Family have such courage?”
After a pause, he suddenly seemed to think of something and narrowed his eyes. “Could it be that your Ye Family has really become a Subordinate Family of the Loong Family?”
“Hah! Like that pathetic Loong Family is worthy of our Ye Family!!” Ye Wuxian did not hold back either, directly raising Heaven Incinerator and charging toward Huang Yutian.
