Chapter 3 The Third of Sword Destruction

Two days later, Su Jiantian found Ye Cang's hiding place.

Ye Cang, however, with his five-hundred-degree nearsightedness, could barely distinguish male from female beyond two meters, and human from animal beyond twenty.

Watching two somethings approaching from twenty meters away, he thought, "Could it be Su Jiantian has brought a group to fight me this time?"

Only when the two arrived in front of Ye Cang could he see them clearly.

"My heavens… it really is you, Su Jiantian. Oh, right, my friend. Your sword is currently roasting skewers over a fire. Would you two like a few? The taste is absolutely divine."

Su Jiantian was instantly enraged. "What! You're using my sword to roast skewers?"

At this moment, Su Jiantian's companion asked, "Old friend, is this the Ye Cang you spoke of?"

"Indeed," Su Jiantian replied.

Ye Cang looked at the questioner, noticing an aura of transcendence. He wore golden armor, exuding a kingly dominance.

Before Ye Cang could speak, the man introduced himself. "Sword Destruction Trio, I am Huangcheng Chunqiu."

Upon hearing "Sword Destruction Trio," Ye Cang thought, "No wonder they're called Sword Destruction Trio; they're three people who practice swordsmanship."

Suddenly, Huangcheng Chunqiu produced two longswords out of thin air. He fluidly connected the ends of the hilts in his hands, securing the two swords. The blades were simple, yet refined, pure, and unconventional.

Seeing this display, Ye Cang knew without a doubt that a fight was coming. He devoured the skewers in his hands in a whirlwind of consumption, leaving nothing behind.

Huangcheng Chunqiu wasted no time, launching an attack on Ye Cang.

Battle intent soared as he brandished his sword, its radiant light dispelling the darkness.

Huangcheng Chunqiu rotated his sword, his swordsmanship resolute and soul-stirring.

The sudden onslaught caught him completely off guard.

Before Ye Cang could transform, he was already struck by several swords.

"Hmm? Is this your true strength?" Huangcheng Chunqiu asked, slightly underestimating him.

Seeing that Huangcheng Chunqiu had paused his attack, Ye Cang didn't bother to explain.

Whoosh!

The Domain Reading form activated, white flames covering his body, starlight shimmering at the edges like fireflies.

"Heh… our contest has only just begun!"

Whoosh!

Ye Cang charged forward rapidly. Huangcheng Chunqiu couldn't understand how an unarmed man could kill Jiang Lu and Yi Duxing.

Huangcheng Chunqiu rotated his swords, and sword energy formed into a sweeping, full moon.

Tap!

Ye Cang didn't dare directly confront the resonating sword energy. He used a double acceleration, kicking out at Huangcheng Chunqiu's face from the side.

Bang! Huangcheng Chunqiu was sent flying by Ye Cang's kick.

Although his body was airborne and out of control, Huangcheng Chunqiu didn't drop his swords.

Taking advantage of the swords' length, Huangcheng Chunqiu plunged one into the ground.

Ping…

Using the resistance of the sword in the ground, Huangcheng Chunqiu slid back several meters before finally stabilizing himself. Then, he roared with battle intent, suppressing Ye Cang.

Through several exchanges, Huangcheng Chunqiu used only lethal sword moves. Ye Cang remained calm, displaying a fearless heart.

Huangcheng Chunqiu unleashed several deadly sword techniques in succession, but Ye Cang brushed them all aside with ease.

Seeing that Huangcheng Chunqiu's battle intent had reached its peak and could rise no further, Ye Cang said, "Now, it's my turn to attack! Chronospatial Zero Domain: Howl of the Ghosts!"

Ye Cang flashed forward, sliding diagonally and taking a step, and threw out a super-swinging backhand punch.

Seeing the power of Ye Cang's punch, Huangcheng Chunqiu knew it was a killing move and dared not confront it head-on.

With a whoosh, Huangcheng Chunqiu turned sharply, circling behind Ye Cang, intending to pierce his heart with a sword.

Suddenly! Missing his punch, Ye Cang contracted his body to accumulate power, instantly stomping on the ground, launching himself into the air.

The power gathered in that instant was transmitted to his entire torso, the explosive force of the deepest muscles causing his legs to spring out.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Cang had already entered Huangcheng Chunqiu's inner circle.

At the same time, Ye Cang used his right foot as a pivot, turning sharply, transferring the kinetic energy generated by the contraction of his lower body to his waist, hips, and back.

After rotating 180 degrees with his foot as the center, Ye Cang's upper body rotated 180 degrees clockwise, like a spinning top.

These two counter-rotating forces increased layer by layer, producing diagonal acceleration.

This caused Ye Cang's fist to graze the ground, expanding to its maximum extent.

"Chronospatial Zero Domain: Lament of the Gods!"

A super-swinging uppercut swung towards Huangcheng Chunqiu.

The fist’s intent was vast, shaking the primordial world!

Huangcheng Chunqiu knew he was no match, but had no way to evade.

Helpless, he could only raise his swords to block.

Boom!

Ye Cang's punch instantly shattered Huangcheng Chunqiu's swords, heading straight for his jaw.

Bang!

Huangcheng Chunqiu's entire jaw instantly turned into a bloody mist and minced meat, scattering in all directions upon touching Ye Cang's uppercut.

After retracting his attack, Ye Cang stood in place, observing Huangcheng Chunqiu's next move.

Huangcheng Chunqiu was in a terrible state. His face and chin below the nose had been shattered by Ye Cang's punch.

Having lost his mouth and jaw, the internal structure of Huangcheng Chunqiu's oral cavity was completely exposed, an utterly terrifying sight.

A scarlet aura permeated the air, and time seemed to freeze at that moment…

After a few seconds, Huangcheng Chunqiu let out a heart-wrenching wail.

Having lost his teeth and tongue, Huangcheng Chunqiu could only emit mournful moans of pain.

Madness… Huangcheng Chunqiu had completely lost his mind…

As a proud member of the royal family within Huangcheng, as the strongest of the Sword Destruction Trio, the strongest sword.

He had wielded his sword triumphantly for half his life, never knowing defeat. But unexpectedly… this defeat was so humiliating, so wretched.

The dual blows to his spirit and body finally drove Huangcheng Chunqiu into a state of madness.

Ye Cang looked calmly at Su Jiantian. "I don't want to add to the bloodshed. Take your sword and take him away with you."

With a whoosh, Su Jiantian fled with Huangcheng Chunqiu.

On the way, Su Jiantian remained silent, not uttering a word, his mind blank, his heart empty.

Ye Cang looked at himself, Huangcheng Chunqiu's blood staining his clothes.

Helpless, he had no choice but to wash his clothes near the waterfall.

After going ashore, Ye Cang had just put on his clothes when another person appeared before him.

This person had a plain face, two parts righteous, five parts Saintly Green Tea, and three parts ignorant fearlessness.

Ye Cang cursed inwardly, "Damn it! Is this never going to end? These revenge seekers are coming one after another. It's really annoying!"

Before Ye Cang could speak, the man introduced himself, "My name is Laji, and you?"

Ye Cang didn't humor him. "Are you stupid? You came here for me, yet you don't know my name?"

"Young man, you have some intelligence, but your murderous aura is too heavy. If you could shed that murderous aura, you would be a promising talent."

Hearing Laji's words, Ye Cang suddenly thought of something.

Tender memories flooded his mind like paintings.

From his original self, his kind self, his naive self, to the Phantasm Beast annihilating his homeland, losing his loved ones. Then, the chronospatial quantum vortex transported him to the chronospatial fortress to hunt Phantasm Beasts, fighting through the Netherworld, destroying Ghost Dragons, slaying Ghost Generals, and fighting against the King of Calamity.

Until the apocalyptic calamity brought about by the peerless powerhouse, the Desolate Emperor of the End.

This calamity almost destroyed all the nebulae in the universe, nearly extinguishing all the chronospatial jumpers.

If it hadn't been for Luke and Feng Lei risking their lives to fight desperately against the Desolate Emperor of the End,

the universe would probably be a dead and chaotic void, like the beginning of the universe.

All of this, with half a shred less battle intent or murderous intent, the universe would have been destroyed by the Desolate Emperor of the End.

"Murderous aura too heavy? Damn it! Easy for you to say! Uncle, the reason you're alive, and this nebula hasn't been destroyed, is because the Desolate Emperor of the End is dead. Can you wake up a little?" Ye Cang retorted.

Laji told Ye Cang in a steady tone, "Young man, if I die, or this nebula turns to ashes, it is destiny. These things have nothing to do with you."

Ye Cang thought after hearing Laji's words, "Is this person even talking sense?"

"Yes! You're right about everything!"

Ye Cang didn't want to bother with him anymore and turned to leave.
