Chapter 137 Crisis Within

If one were to speak of swordsmanship alone, the Shura Quick Sword was already the limit of quick swords.

The Shura Quick Sword was one of the few sword techniques that could enter the Dao through skill. When practiced to its peak, the sword was only about "speed," so fast that it was impossible to defend against.

Ye Yang’s shock was fleeting. He rushed towards the inner sect of Aoxue Sect. The moment Ye Yang and Feng Ruoxing crossed paths, more than a dozen long swords attacked Ye Yang simultaneously.

Ye Yang dodged several sword strikes and asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"

An Aoxue Sect disciple wiped the blood from his face: "The sect has ordered that you must be killed! You..."

Before he could finish, Ye Yang sealed his throat with a sword. Ye Yang withdrew his bloody sword: "Feng Ruoxing, help the walking corpse kill the sect. As long as Li Po doesn't die, I don't care who does."

Feng Ruoxing was only stunned for a moment before Ye Yang appeared in the sword formation of Aoxue Sect. Several lifeless corpses had appeared around him.

"Turn the crossbow array and shoot Ye Yang!" Just as the Aoxue Sect disciple turned the heavy crossbow towards Ye Yang, Feng Ruoxing's figure suddenly flickered and disappeared from the spot. When Feng Ruoxing reappeared, he was standing in mid-air, stepping on the Aoxue Sect's powerful crossbow.

Before the Aoxue Sect disciples could wake up from the murderous intent in Feng Ruoxing's face, they were met with a sharp sword light. The sword flashed, blood beads flew, and Feng Ruoxing's figure moved gracefully amidst the scattered blood beads, and Aoxue Sect disciples fell one after another.

Everyone's attention was drawn to Feng Ruoxing, and Ye Yang carried his long sword and rushed through the crossbow formation towards the inner gate of Aoxue Sect.

At this time, the Aoxue Sect was filled with demonic energy. Black gas gushing from the ground rose straight into the sky like wolf smoke, and all the renowned experts of Aoxue Sect were rushing towards the center of the smoke column.

They were using their flesh and blood to suppress the demons under the sect.

Huang Tiangong also seemed to be flustered, urging frantically while holding a sword in one hand: "Hurry, hurry, gather all those above the Xiantian (Acquired) realm."

Xuan Su shouted with a dark face: "Sect Master, if all the Xiantian experts are transferred away, who will stop the corpse demons outside? If they break in, the sect will be finished!"

Huang Tiangong's eyes were also red: "If we suppress the Suppressing Stone, we still have a chance. Once the demons break the seal and attack from both inside and outside with the corpse demons, the sect will be completely finished."

"This..." Xuan Su also knew that Huang Tiangong was right. Suppressing the Suppressing Stone would make the corpse demons somewhat afraid, but failing to suppress the Suppressing Stone would result in the destruction of the entire sect.

While Xuan Su was at a loss, he suddenly saw Ye Yang coming with his sword: "Ye Yang!"

Xuan Su seemed to see a life-saving straw: "Ye Yang, come quickly... lead the sect disciples to resist the corpse demons."

Ye Yang sneered: "I heard that Aoxue Sect issued a kill order against me?"

"Who issued the order!" Huang Tiangong was furious: "It must have been an individual sect disciple who issued the order privately. We definitely didn't mean it."

Ye Yang held his long sword diagonally, and crimson blood beads rolled down from his blade: "I want an explanation."

Xuan Su sternly said: "Ye Yang, don't forget that you accepted the sect's employment."

Ye Yang sneered, looked up at the sky, and didn't bother to say another word.

Huang Tiangong gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of explanation do you want?"

Ye Yang said lightly: "Enough to suppress the sect disciples, you can handle the rest."

Huang Tiangong drew his sword and killed an elder next to him, personally carrying the head towards the gate, facing the disciples who were being forced towards the inner courtyard by Feng Ruoxing, he shouted loudly: "Elder Wang Hong, without authorization, issued an order against Mr. Li Po and Mr. Ye Yang, and has been executed on the spot by this sect master."

"From now on, all sect disciples will obey Mr. Ye's command and resist the corpse demons. Anyone who dares to disobey the order or act against it will be Wang Hong's example."

Huang Tiangong threw down the head and turned to rush towards the inner courtyard. Xuan Su, who was behind him, turned pale: "Sect Master, you...you..."

Huang Tiangong walked towards the inner courtyard without looking back, but Ye Yang showed a sneer behind him.

Ye Yang may not have guessed the cause and effect of the matter at the beginning, but this time he saw one thing clearly: the biggest calamity of Aoxue Sect's heavenly gate was not the corpse demons, but Huang Tiangong.

Huang Tiangong beheaded the sect elder and issued orders while carrying his head, which seemed decisive, but was actually collapsing the people's hearts.

Sect fortune, in addition to the right time and place, the most important thing is the people's hearts. Without those disciples who are willing to shed their blood for the sect, the sect's fortune will inevitably collapse. With a little external impact, the once-standing sect will collapse in an instant.

Xuan Su shouted angrily: "Sect Master, I will lead the disciples to resist the corpse demons today. If you want to kill, then kill me too!"

Huang Tiangong's face changed for a while before he said sternly: "If you want to go, then go. After this battle, you will no longer be a protector of the Aoxue Sect."

Xuan Su snorted coldly and walked towards the gate: "All disciples, listen to my order and resist the corpse demons with me."

Xuan Su strode forward, but the fortune of Aoxue Sect was dissipating madly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The sect fortune that others could not see was unmistakable in Ye Yang's eyes.

The corpse demons had not yet appeared, but the fortune of Aoxue Sect had already collapsed for the most part.

Ye Yang knew clearly that someone was deliberately trying to destroy Aoxue Sect.

This made Ye Yang's heart full of contradictions.
