Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 18: I’ll Grant You Your Wish

Ye Tianling controlled his appearance, using Ye Tianxing’s face to take on his likeness. Only then did he attempt to break the barrier.

Ye Tianling knew nothing about barriers or arrays, so he immediately identified a weakness of his.

This weakness was a fatal one.

If an enemy were to set up a Killing Array, he would likely be trapped with no way out.

Ye Tianling had no choice but to wait inside the barrier for it to dissipate on its own. Only then could he leave the room.

During this time, Ye Tianling didn’t remain idle. He rummaged through Ye Tianxing’s belongings, but disappointingly, he only found a few Yellow Crystal Stones and several Qi Gathering Pills—not even a Qiankun Ring.

Just as he was feeling disappointed, Ye Tianling noticed a small, blood-free patch on Ye Tianxing’s bleeding neck. He immediately pulled the object off.

He then discovered that the object was a black Barrier Talisman.

When Ye Tianling focused his senses on the Barrier Talisman, information about its effects and usage flooded his mind.

"Black Water Small Barrier Talisman: Profound Tier Middle Grade. Activated by Bloodline Power to create a small barrier with a five-meter radius. All information, including sound and vital energy, is shielded within the barrier. Additionally, the Bloodline Talent of any Cultivator below the Sword Realm will be nullified. Duration: Ten minutes."

He was thrilled to acquire the Black Water Small Barrier Talisman.

He glanced thoughtfully at the nearly dead Ye Tianxing, then used the blood pooling on the floor to write a few arrogant, taunting lines.

"Ye Liyuan, you old dog, my apologies, but your son Ye Tianxing is completely crippled! And about to die! As for me, Ye Tianling, I’m still alive and well! Just as I said, your useless son was always going to die before me! Don’t you worry, old dog. Your turn is coming soon!"

After writing those words in Ye Tianxing’s blood, the sense of satisfaction and mental clarity Ye Tianling felt was simply indescribable.

He had finally vented all his pent-up frustration.

After doing this, Ye Tianling waited for about three more minutes before the small barrier’s effects finally began to fade.

The moment the barrier vanished, two figures appeared outside, exuding an aura of frantic impatience.

"Ye Tianxing, what are you doing in there?"

"Ye Tianxing, come out. Your father, Elder Liyuan, wants you to see him."

Ye Yuecun and Ye Tiance walked up to the doorway and shouted, their brows furrowed.

"Oh, coming."

Ye Tianling said, imitating Ye Tianxing’s voice and keeping it low.

At the same time, he moved swiftly to the doorway, blocking their view of the floor inside the room.

"You—"

Ye Tiance and Ye Yuecun thought "Ye Tianxing’s" voice sounded a little off. Just as they were about to speak, their eyes went wide in utter disbelief.

Because in that moment of hesitation, Ye Tianling struck!

SHLICK— SHLICK—

The Fiery Sun Sword flashed like a streak of blood-red light, leaving a crimson afterimage in its wake.

The heads of Ye Tiance and Ye Yuecun shot into the air.

"Ye Tianhe! Ye Yuennan! Come over here! How did these two suddenly get poisoned and pass out?"

As Ye Tiance and Ye Yuecun fell, Ye Tianling released his Force Qi to silence the sound of their bodies hitting the ground. At the same time, he caught their heads and gently placed them beside their respective corpses.

Using the darkness as cover, he strode quickly toward Ye Tianhe and Ye Yuennan, calling out urgently.

"Hm? What’s going on?"

Hearing this, Ye Tianhe and Ye Yuennan grew tense and immediately ran over.

In that instant, the sword in Ye Tianling’s hand flashed out!

Dugu Sword Intent!

The Dugu Sword Intent he unleashed wasn’t exceptionally powerful, but its vicious and glacial aura was utterly terrifying!

Even an expert like Ye Fenghan, a master at the Sword Essence Third Heaven, would suffer the illusion of their own death if struck by it—to say nothing of Ye Yuennan and Ye Tianhe, who were caught completely off guard.

The two of them froze for an instant, and in that moment, the light in their eyes went dim.

In that moment, they felt that they had died. It was as if a Destruction Sword Intent had pierced their souls, run through their bodies, and brought about their spiritual death.

The two stood rooted to the spot as, for some unknown reason, bright red blood began to trickle from their eyes, ears, noses, and mouths.

In the silent courtyard, the vivid blood was like plum blossoms scattered on snow in the dead of night, its dark red gleam exceptionally striking.

Though the two stood frozen, Ye Tianling wasn’t finished. Gripping his Fiery Sun Sword, he became a blur, moving in the same instant his Sword Intent was unleashed.

SHLICK— SHLICK—

As expected of an Earth Tier Lower Grade Weapon, the Fiery Sun Sword was so sharp it cut through them as if they were tofu.

As Ye Tianling’s sword struck, he felt almost no resistance. Perhaps it was due to the immense power of his physical body, or perhaps the blade’s sharpness simply defied imagination.

Heads flew.

Only then did the Bloodline Power within their bodies erupt, but it was too late. All it accomplished was sending their severed heads flying high into the air.

Ye Tianhe and Ye Yuennan collapsed in the courtyard.

Under the cold, crimson Blood Moon, the stench of blood in the courtyard grew stronger.

Ye Tianling, Fiery Sun Sword in hand, sliced open the four corpses’ clothes. To his great disappointment, he found they had no valuables.

"A bunch of paupers!"

Ye Tianling scoffed, and his figure quickly vanished from the courtyard.

Soon after, using the cover of darkness, Ye Tianling snuck into the courtyard where Ye Yueling lived.

Two others lived with Ye Yueling: Ye Yuexin and Ye Yuechan.

When Ye Tianling arrived, all three young women were in the middle of their Cultivation, and they were on high alert.

Left with no other choice, Ye Tianling stood beneath an ancient pine tree at the far end of the courtyard, his gaze locked on Ye Yueling.

Ye Yueling immediately sensed the intense gaze, and her eyes snapped open in an instant.

Ye Tianling was wearing the mask made from Ye Tianxing’s face. From a distance, it was unnoticeable, but it would be obvious up close.

He was also wearing Ye Tianxing’s clothes. They were of similar height, so between that and the darkness, Ye Yueling didn’t notice anything amiss.

"Come over. I’ve found Ye Tianling’s whereabouts. Follow me. We’ll go tail the little brat quietly."

Ye Tianling mouthed the words without making a sound.

He knew, of course, that Ye Yueling could read lips.

Ye Yueling didn’t think twice. The name ’Ye Tianling’ was enough to command her full attention.

Ye Yueling stood up and, without a word to Ye Yuexin or Ye Yuechan, walked directly toward him.

Ye Tianling stood in the shadow of the ancient pine tree, waiting quietly.

As Ye Yueling walked over, just as she was approaching the ancient pine tree, the Ye Race’s alarm suddenly blared. In the distance, from the courtyard where Ye Tianxing’s body lay, a heaven-shaking roar of fury erupted.

"Ye Tianling! You murdered my son! I will never rest until you are dead! I will hunt you to the ends of the earth and kill you a thousand times over!"

It was the sound of Ye Liyuan’s furious roar.

Ye Yueling was startled. Instantly realizing it was a trap, she tried to retreat.

But by then, Ye Tianling had already struck.

"You bitch! I never did a thing to you, yet you claimed I tried to assault you? You even wounded yourself just to frame me? Fine! Since that’s what you want, I’ll capture you now and grant your wish!"
