"Oh no, there's danger. Who the hell is watching me? My plan is only a little bit away from success."
The man in black was completely covered in a black robe. If he had not screamed after noticing the danger, the two would not have known that the shocking sword strike had already seriously injured him.
"Just wait for me. I will be back. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future..."
No one would notice that the male protagonist, who was so arrogant just now, was now running away in a panic like a stray dog.
"Interesting, this is the power of the Heavenly Sword. I just used less than 1% of its power, and it had such an effect. It seems that I have a new powerful killer weapon in the future."
Ye Xuan, with long flowing hair and white clothes as white as snow, gave people a transcendental feeling just standing there, and he was in a very good mood.
"Here comes the sword..."
At his call, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth near Feilai Peak gathered into the strongest sword and galloped towards the distance like a wild horse.
"Oh no, it's dangerous, why are you still here?"
The man in black robe was hit hard by the sword, sacrificing a blood shadow clone. His blood and energy surged and he turned pale in an instant. As the opponent was about to attack again, he was so scared that his soul left his body and he ran away.
"No need to see you off, welcome to come again!"
The two elders, completely changing their previous dejected demeanor, looked sharply at the direction the other party was running in and spoke a few words.
"Eh, I didn't expect the enemy's methods to be so complicated. I just killed one of his blood shadow clones, and here comes another one. Could it be that they have returned to the original?"
When the enemy's blood shadow clone was hit, the surrounding spiritual energy quickly calmed down, as if it had never appeared.
"It seems that the demons are still determined to do evil and come to harass us from time to time. It's time to find an opportunity to go to the Dragon Pond alone and meet the Heavenly Demon Lord who had one arm cut off by him."
Ye Xuan opened his eyes, and black and white energy were spinning in his eyes. He saw a black shadow running away quickly across time, space and distance.
"Well, let's play the long game and catch the big fish. Whether you are a remnant of Ye Tian's soul, controlling the other party, or you are a member of the demon clan, it doesn't matter. I will let you go today and repay you double in the future."
Seeing his flying sword inflicting heavy damage on the enemy, he was surprised and at the same time understood more clearly the cunningness of the demons. His sense of crisis became more urgent.
"Forget it. This move consumes too much energy. It seems that I need to improve my realm to a higher level before I can exert my greatest power and travel between heaven and earth as I wish."
On the top of the solitary peak, a man quietly made another move and then fell into silence again, just like a stone statue, unshakable in the wind, rain and sun.
At Feixian Pavilion, Elder Peak, where the ten elders were, the two men had already prepared to fight to the death, but the situation took a turn for the worse, and it happened that the third elder, acting as the sect master, rushed over after hearing the news.
A figure was flying in the darkness on a sword, like a meteor. The moment he landed, he had no time to react and walked towards the two of them, looking exhausted.
He stopped, looked at the two of them and asked with concern: "Two brothers, how are you? Are you okay? When I heard the disciple coming over and calling me, I thought you were in danger. It seems that you are fine. At least your limbs are intact and you haven't been taken advantage of by the other party?"
"Third brother, you shouldn't blame us like this. We almost died. The other party was too strong. No matter how well he hid it, he couldn't hide his strong demonic energy. Even if he wasn't from the demon clan, he was definitely related to the demon clan. It seems that the ten-year limit is still unknown."
The Seventh Elder, Ye Chongqi, had just been hit hard by the opponent's attack. Even now, his blood was still surging and his internal organs seemed to be displaced.
If he hadn't received some guidance from that kid and improved his realm a little, he would have vomited blood and lost his combat effectiveness long ago.
"Seventh brother, don't I know your situation? You have a fighting physique that gets stronger when facing a stronger opponent. This injury is nothing to you. Take this healing medicine quickly. It will be very beneficial to your recovery."

The third elder quickly took out a bottle of pills from his pocket. The moment he opened the cork, a strong medicinal aroma wafted out. Anyone who smelled it felt refreshed. It was obvious that the pills were of extraordinary quality.
"Forget it. I'll find a chance to find that boy to make another batch of this healing medicine later. I'll replenish the stock then. I'll give this bottle directly to you. Boy, can you use it sparingly?"
His eyes were full of reluctance, as if a piece of his own flesh had been cut off, but brothers don't talk too much, what should be given must be given, and he threw it to the Seventh Elder without hesitation.
"By the way, Tenth Brother, your situation is different from his. This bottle is specially for you. This is made by that kid specifically for you. After all, you are a rare talent in the third level of cultivation in the Ye family. As long as there is no problem with your foundation and you can reach a higher level, there will be no problem taking it!"
The other party seemed to have expected this and appeared in front of the two of them at just the right time. He then took out two bottles of healing medicine and gave them to the two of them.
"What? A holy healing elixir. The key is that it is made of very ordinary materials, and then one or two precious medicinal materials are added to make a top-grade holy elixir. It's unbelievable?"
"Tenth brother, you are also an alchemist. Is there anything unusual about this pill? Why can't I see it?"
The Seventh Elder, Ye Chongqi, thought that the healing pills given to him by his third brother were from the Medicine Pavilion when he took them just now. But it turned out to be made by that kid. It seemed that this was really beyond their expectations?
"Two big brothers, this is a long story. Did I lie to you two? You should know that I am now the only alchemist in the Ye family. Apart from this kid who is an outlier, who can be better than me in alchemy? But today I can only admit defeat in my heart. There are always people better than you. You have to admit defeat even if you don't want to. I mean, I am the one!"
In the eyes of ordinary people, the Tenth Elder is a rare talent who has mastered three realms: martial arts, formations, and alchemy. However, after all realms have been raised to a certain level, it is extremely difficult to integrate them again and make further progress. He has a deep understanding of this, so after seeing this bottle of top-grade holy healing elixir, he was completely shocked.
"Tell me, what's going on? It's true that the Ye family has a lot of work to do, but the protective formation is being improved step by step. How did the other party do it? Unless there is the aura of the Ye family, it would be difficult to sneak in without being noticed."
"What? Are you still worried that other people might hear or suspect that there are spies from the demon clan sneaking in? Don't worry, the other party has already fled like a lost dog, so why would they still have such thoughts?"
After hearing this, the two of them carefully put down their weapons after making sure that no one else was hiding. The Seventh Elder explained everything in detail to the Third Brother in front of them.
"Oh, so it seems that you don't know the other party's background, nor do you know how the other party got in. It seems that this matter needs to be carefully considered..."
After hearing what the other party said, he, as an outsider, finally understood a little bit. It turned out that the people of the demon clan still had evil intentions, or that the people related to them were secretly plotting.
"Alright, don't tell anyone about what happened today. Just pretend it never happened. I'll investigate on my own and let you all know when I have the results. Now go away, okay?"
The Third Elder, as the acting sect leader, hadn’t even warmed up to the throne when the other party gave him a warning. It looked like this fight would become a long-term one.
"Let's go, Third Brother. Tenth Brother has just been injured and needs a good rest. We won't disturb him."
The tenth elder, at this moment, after taking the pill refined by Ye Xuan, felt an indescribable warmth surging through his meridians, and his entire body seemed to be bathed in sunshine, making him feel extremely warm.
"No, Songdong's realm is about to break through. I didn't expect that the healing pills have such an effect. It seems that I underestimated him again?"
There was no time to think about it. The spiritual energy in the body was in danger of being out of control. It was at the critical point of taking that step at any time. He could not return to the secret room to intensify the guidance and training.
"Seventh brother, let's go."
The two of them turned their heads and took a look. They felt relieved when they saw the other party entering the secret room. When they left, they gave another order to ensure that the other party broke through safely.
…………
A blurry black shadow flashed out from the night sky among the Ten Thousand Mountains. Before he could dodge, he was hit hard by the sword again. Of the nine clones, only six were left. He wanted to die.
"Boy, I'll remember this murderous revenge."
The black shadow squirmed quickly and transformed into the appearance of a man again. It was Ye Tian, but his complexion was very pale.
"Puff."
He could no longer hold back and spurted out a mouthful of blood, almost losing his balance. Not far away, there was a huge noise, and the tall grass in front of him, which was more than a meter tall, began to shake.
"Who? Come out now. If you don't come out, don't blame me for being rude."
The man who transformed into Ye Tian's appearance shouted, concentrated and looked at the person in front of him with great nervousness, at the tall grass.
"Illusionary Demon Envoy, Thousand-Faced Demon Lord, why are you so precious? People tend to forget things, and you don't even recognize me. It seems that you are seriously injured. Are you very surprised? Very surprised, how do I know your hiding place?"
The man walking towards him was also covered in a black robe like him. The scene was just like when he appeared in the room of the Tenth Elder, but now it was reversed.
"Why are you silent? Did I guess it right? Or did I step on your tail? If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place? Tell me, how should our cooperation proceed?"
The man opposite was like a shrewd hunter, who directly targeted the powerful but injured prey. He did not say a single dangerous word, but both sides understood very well that everything depended on strength, and only then did both sides have the right to have an equal dialogue.
"Why, you don't want to? It's a dark and windy night, and I feel like it's a good time to do something. What do you think..."
As we talked and watched, the invisible pressure increased dramatically and the air was filled with gunpowder.
"Do you think I still have a choice now? Since you want to talk, great, tell me?"
The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord was like a deflated balloon and was defeated in an instant.
"Hahaha, that's right..."
The two of them, in cahoots with each other, suddenly forgot all about the unpleasantness that had just occurred.
