Pill Sovereign Reborn

Upon hearing his words, Ye Xuan's heart surged with a great sense of grievance and regret.    

His lips could not help but curl up into a bitter smile.    

Orginally, he thought that victory was already in his grasp, but who knew that Ye Lan still had such a card up his sleeves? In the blink of an eye, Ye Lan had completely turned the tables against him.    

One could only imagine the unwillingness lingering in Ye Xuan's heart.    

"From the looks of it, you already knew the main purpose for Ye Tao and the others' visit to your place."    

Having accepted his inevitable fate, the fear of death in Ye Xuan's heart had diminished quite a bit.    

Ye Xuan said gloomily as he looked directly at Ye Lan.    

"Did you really think I was stupid enough to believe that Ye Tao and the others came over to become brothers with me after all that they're done?"    

Ye Lan replied.    

"So you're saying that... you already knew that they had ill-intentions that moment they visited your house, which was why you lured the pack of Green Demonic Wolves over in advance to surround and kill us?"    

After a long while, Ye Xuan asked again in a cold voice.    

"Yep, that's right! It wouldn't be convenient for me to kill you guys while we're still in the territory of the Ye Family anyways since it would most likely cause unnecessary trouble for my father."    

"In this secluded place, on the other hand, I don't have very much to worry about."    

"Therefore, I figured that I might as well take advantage of the opportunity and beat you guys at your own game!"    

Ye Lan replied with a smile.    

"Beating us at our own game? Haha, how intriguing! Ye Lan, it seemed that we had it all wrong from the beginning. You are no longer that same foolish brat of the past. In fact, you're so smart that it's scaring even me."    

"Thus, it's only natural that I, Ye Xuan, die in your hands today!"    

Ye Xuan burst into gales of laughter, albeit filled with a hint of misery and regret.    

"However, if there is an afterlife, I, Ye Xuan, will definitely never forget this grude of mine. Even if I become a ghost, I will never let you go!"    

Until the end, Ye Xuan wore a sinister expression on his face as he roared in anger.    

"If that moment really does come, I will certainly be waiting for the day of your revenge!"    

Ye Lan replied with a calm expression.    

With a single thought, the Green Demonic Wolf pounced onto Ye Xuan and tore him to several pieces without mercy.    

The genius Ye Family disciple, Ye Xuan, had passed away....    

"Guardian Cui, these Green Demonic Wolves are too strong. We are no match for them!"    

At that moment, the few remaining dark-cloaked assassins gathered together with their backs against one another. Staring at the vicious Green Demonic Wolves in all directions, they could not help but lament at the unrecognizable corpses shredded into pieces on the ground with grave expressions.    

After all, those corpses were once their comrades.    

Under the encirclement of the pack of Green Demonic Wolves, they ended up dying horrifying deaths.    

As for the ones who were still alive, they had been severely injured as their bodies were riddled with countless wounds.    

Having just killed a Green Demonic Wolf after expending most of his energy, Cui Wuming retreated and arrived beside his comrades.    

"We must carve out a path of escape no matter what! Otherwise, only death awaits us at the end of this road!"    

After a long while, Cui Wuming exclaimed.    

"You guys are still thinking of escaping from me? Stop dreaming and just obediently leave behind you lives!"    

Suddenly, a cold and indifferent voice sounded from afar.    

After dealing with the Ye Family disciples, Ye Lan walked over to the surrounded assassins who were facing death's door.    

As soon as Cui Wuming saw Ye Lan, the dire expression on his face became even more pronounced.    

"We have no emnity towards one another, so why must you be so ruthless?"    

Cui Wuming said coldly while looking at Ye Lan.    

"That's right! There certainly aren't any grudges between us. Since that's the case, why did you help Ye Xuan by trying to assassinate me?"    

Ye Lan's mouth twitched.    

With a single sentence, Cui Wuming was rendered speechless.    

"Since you wanted to kill me here, shouldn't you have prepared to die too?"    

"Well... either one of us will inevitably die today. There will be no room for negotiation between us."    

Ye Lan exclaimed as he struck down the final hammer.    

At that moment, his pair of crimson eyes suddenly lit up like a pair of blood moons.    

*Howl~*    

In the next instant, the ferocious Green Demonic Wolves emitted intimidating howls that reverberated through the dark forest, resulting in a howling wind that shook the leaves and branches in all directions. Upon hearing those eerie howls, Cui Wuming and the other assassins turned pale with fright.    

"In that case, my only option is to kill you!"    

Cui Wuming exclaimed as he glared menacingly at Ye Lan.    

At this point, it was already obvious to everyone that Ye Lan had the Green Demonic Wolves under his control. If he could kill Ye Lan now, perhaps he might be able to find a way to escape from this dire situation.    

Thus, Cui Wuning had made the resolve to kill Ye Lan.    

"Kill them."    

Ye Lan directly spat out another ruthless command without wasting any more time.    

Upon receiving his command, more than a dozen ferocious Green Demonic Wolves charged towards Cui Wuming and the other assassins fearlessly.    

At that instant, Cui Wuming pushed off with the tips of his toes and attempted to dodge the incoming attacks like a ghost. His movements were both erratic and swift at the same time. Taking advantage of his speed, he managed to just barely dodge one of the attacks.    

Following his successful dodge, he sent a kick flying towards the skull of the Green Demonic Wolf.    

In a flash, a sharp blade swooped out from his sleeves as he enveloped it with dark Genuine Qi around the edges.    

"Die!"    

Looking straight at Ye Lan, who was standing behind the circle of wolves, Cui Wuming yelled as he desperately dashed towards Ye Lan like an arrow at full speed.    

*Swish~*    

The sharp blade sliced through the air, aiming directly towards Ye Lan's neck.    

This swift attack was accurate yet ruthless. If any other ordinary Eighth Stage Body Tempering Cultivator were to face this attack, they would definitely be caught off guard and killed on the spot by Cui Wuming.    

However, Ye Lan had already released his Eye of Crimson and seen through Cui Wuming's otherwise-deadly attack.    

As such, Ye Lan easily dodged the incoming blade that was enveloped by dark Genuine Qi.    

"How could this be?"    

Seeing how Ye Lan managed to easily dodge his fatal attack, Cui Wuming's pupils constricted as an expression of shock suddenly appeared over his face.    

With that, he finally understood how perilous of a situation he found himself in, but he still couldn't believe his eyes.    

After all, according to what Cui Wuming knew about Ye Lan, he was only a youth at the peak seventh level of the Body Tempering Realm. Thus, he should have been able to defeat him with ease.    

Furthermore, even an expert at the eighth stage of the Body Tempering Realm would find it extremely difficult to avoid his fatal attack. In spite of that, Ye Lan still managed to dodge it?    

"Eight Extremes Fist!"    

Ignoring the shock on Cui Wuming's face, Ye Lan shouted out loud and sent his right fist flying towards Cui Wuming's chest.    

Despite his superior cultivation level, Cui Wuming simply did not have the time to react to the bullet-speed punch.    

A loud thump resounded through the air.    

Ye Lan's Eight Extremes Fist had ruthlessly struck onto Cui Wuming's chest, sending him flying far into the distance.    

As Cui Wuming's body rebounded into the shape of a charged bow, the energy of the Eight Extremes Fist was wreaking havoc within his body, shattering every single one of his meridians and bones. Consequently, he even spurted out a bucketful of blood from his mouth.    

*Crash!*    

Crashing heavily onto the ground like a meteor, Cui Wuming's face turned ghastly pale. Having lost a large amount of blood, he seemed to be in a miserable state.    

As the remaining blood in his body churned vigorously, he found it nearly impossible to circulate his Genuine Qi. In fact, he could not even move his limbs anymore.    

A single punch!    

An expert at the eighth stage of the Body Tempering Realm had suffered a fatal blow from the Ye Lan's hands.    

Having witnessed how Ye Lan severely injured Cui Wuing with a single punch from the distance, the other assassins doing their best to hold back the Green Demonic Wolves revealed expressions of despair, for they could not believe their very own eyes.    

"Shouldn't your cultivation only be at the peak seventh stage of the Body Tempering Realm? How are you capable of executing such a powerful attack?"    

Cui Wuming spat out another mouthful of blood as his face turned even paler by the second due to the significant loss of blood.    

A sense of confusion and surprise lingering in the depth of his eyes as he stared curiously at Ye Lan in his final moments.    

Before accepting the assassination job from Ye Xuan, Cui Wuming learned from him that Ye Lan's cultivation was only at the peak seventh stage of the Body Tempering Realm. Thus, he thought that this would be an easy job to earn some quick cash from.    

After facing Ye Lan head-on, however, Cui Wuming realized that the information from Ye Xuan was either completely false or outdated.    

Ye Lan was definitely not just at the peak seventh stage of the Body Tempering Realm. After all, how could a cultivator at that stage possibly defeat someone who was a whole stage above him with a single punch, not to mention easily dodge a killing blow from that person?    

"Huh? Who told you that my cultivation is only at the peak seventh stage of the Body Tempering Realm? Ye Xuan?"    

"Did you really believe what that idiot said? It seems that you are even more stupid than him...."    

Hearing Cui Wuming's words, Ye Lan could not help but reveal a playful smile.    

When he defeated Ye Xuan with a single move at the banquet two nights ago, his cultivation was indeed only at the peak seventh stage of the Body Tempering Realm.    

Unbeknownst to Ye Xuan and everyone else, he had already broken through to the eighth stage of the Body Tempering Realm yesterday.    

Thus, Ye Lan was naturally able to heavily injure Cui Wuming with a single use of his Eight Extremes Fist.    

Hearing Ye Lan's ridicules, Cui Wuming's face turned livid with rising anger as he continued to spit out even more blood.    

"You... Damn you..."    

Unable to hold back his rage, Cui Wuming used his remaining strength to raise his hand and point at Ye Lan with a fierce expression.    

Unfortunately, before he managed to finish his words, the light in his eyes dimmed and quickly faded away. His body, once brimming with life, had turned into an ice-cold corpse.    

At this moment, a dignified expert at the eighth stage of the Body Tempering Realm had officially been angered to death by Ye Lan's mere words.    

Cui Wuming's death was certainly a tragic one, to say the least....    

"What? How did someone capable of being angered to death end up becoming a cold-blooded assassin?"    

Witnessing the embarrassing death of Cui Wuming, Ye Lan could not help but shake his head and burst into a short fit of laughter.
