Supreme Sword Exalt

Chapter 263 - It’s Not a Transaction Between Me and Ah Sha!

On your way?

The three were stunned for a moment.

Scratching his head, Yun Fan muttered quietly, “Sister, what does that mean?”

Feng Xi glanced at him. “He’s telling them to die.”

Yun Fan was taken aback. He felt that Steward Yue was indeed a person who valued propriety. Although he was telling people to die, he still said it so gracefully.

Even Di Kan and Zhao Mengyou’s group also had similar thoughts. Telling them to die? Killing people yet still being so polite about it. There’s a first for everything!

The Myriad Transformations Holy Master was so frightened his scalp went numb. “Fellow Daoist, listen to me, this is a misunderstanding—”

Steward Yue was full of regret. “My apologies. Young Lady’s condition can’t be delayed for too long. I truly don’t have time to listen to your explanation.”

He slowly closed both eyes as if sensing something.

Wu Qian also couldn’t bear the pressure anymore. “Fellow Daoist, we really knew nothing about this matter!”

The Yuhua Holy Master quickly chimed in. “Correct! If we had known who she was, we absolutely wouldn’t have dared to offend her! All of this is trouble caused by our disciples. If you want any kind of compensation, just speak frankly...”

Faced with a life-threatening danger, the three lost all the bearing of Saint Realm experts.

Steward Yue opened his eyes again. “Alright, found it.”

The three were stunned. Found it? Found what?

Steward Yue explained, “As our sole descendant, Young Lady is of utmost importance to our clan. Yet she was nearly killed by you and your disciples. Such a crime cannot be absolved, even in death!”

A silver light flickered in his eyes, growing denser until it almost took on substance. In the next moment, it fell upon the space not far from him. Space wavered, slowly splitting apart, revealing three portals about a few zhang in length.

Countless figures could vaguely be seen beyond it. They were panicked and flustered, all looking up at the sky.

Steward Yue looked as though he had exhausted much of his energy. He gently gasped for breath, the silver gleam in his eyes fading.

Everyone was filled with shock. What kind of eye technique is this?! It vaguely connects to another space?!

Elder Li suddenly pointed at one portal. “There! I seem to recognize it, it’s the Myriad Transformations Holy Land!”

Another person also pointed it out. “And here, it’s the Yuhua Holy Land, I’ve been there!”

It went without saying that the remaining portal led to where the Wu family was located.

The Myriad Transformations Holy Master seemed to realize something, and no longer cared about Steward Yue’s strange eye technique. He was gripped with terror. “Fellow Daoist, what do you want to do?!”

Steward Yue grew even more apologetic. “Sorry. Explaining would be troublesome. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist.”

He slowly extended his right hand, reaching into the portal belonging to the Myriad Transformations Holy Land.

***

“What is that?”

“Who dares to forcibly open my Holy Land’s secret realm!”

“Wait until the Holy Master returns, you’ll definitely pay for this!”

Inside the Myriad Transformations Holy Land, the crowd was both shocked and angry, looking at the enormous portal several zhang above them. However, fear was not in their dictionary. No matter how weak their foundation, this was still a Holy Land. Offending one could only mean one thing: death.

Slowly, a giant hand reached in from the portal.

The crowd felt something was awfully wrong.

“What is happening?”

Before they could make sense of it, an overwhelming force—far beyond the Saint realm—descended. Any living beings, be it people, trees, or even a blade of grass, completely turned into dust. The entire Myriad Transformations Holy Land was annihilated. Even the secret realm it resided in was not spared, reduced to smoke.

The Myriad Transformations Holy Master’s eyes were wide with rage, on the verge of splitting. “What?!”

Gone? With a single palm strike, the Holy Land he had nurtured for millennia was reduced to nothing. Not even a trace of dust remained. ℯ

“You want to exterminate us completely?”

Steward Yue nodded. “It seems you have already understood clearly. This is best, saves me the trouble of wasting words to explain.”

Following that, he struck two palm strikes into the other two portals. The Wu family and the Yuhua Holy Land followed in the footsteps of the Myriad Transformations Holy Land, completely annihilated from the world.

In mere moments, three clans and over a hundred thousand lives were reduced to wronged souls under Steward Yue’s palm.

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. This is too vicious and cruel!

They had thought he only wanted to kill the three of them, not annihilate their entire clans?!

Yun Fan swallowed his saliva. “Sister, this... this...”

Feng Xi said calmly, “It’s nothing. He’s just doing what I wanted to do.”

Yun Fan was speechless. I almost forgot my sister is also very vicious and cruel!

Steward Yue took another look at Feng Xi, as a flash of amazement appeared in his eyes. “Miss, among the younger generation I’ve seen, your aptitude is enough to rank in the top ten. This continent is indeed far from as simple. It’s a pity, if time weren’t so short, I would stay for sightseeing.”

Feng Xi didn’t speak. She wasn’t happy about being praised either, instead feeling somewhat disappointed. Only top ten? Why not first?

Steward Yue turned to the three Saint realm cultivators again. “Alright, now that your disciples are all dead, I imagine you have no more ties or concerns left in this world. How about taking this opportunity to be on your way?”

Despair flashed across the faces of the three.

“You’ve already killed so many people, and you still won’t stop?!”

“Although we three have faults, it absolutely does not warrant death!”

“You act recklessly, committing murder like this! Aren’t you afraid of the Great Dao bringing down heavenly punishment?!”

The three understood that even if they joined forces, they didn’t have the slightest chance of survival. Hence, they pinned their hopes on words, seeking to move him.

Gu Han suddenly said, “Interesting. When others reason with you, you compare fists with them. When others’ fists are bigger than yours, you start reasoning with them. Even at the Saint realm, there are still many shameless people.”

The three’s expressions twisted viciously, wishing they could devour Gu Han.

“What did you say?!”

“Impudent brat, you’re asking for death!”

“I’ll kill you!”

Steward Yue smiled. “How Young Master’s words have touched my heart! You three, time is about right, please be on your way!”

He raised his right hand again and closed it into a fist. At once, the calm clouds churned wildly, gathering into a colossal hand more than ten zhang long that fell from the sky. Space fractured, and the world itself paled.

“How dare you?!”

“This is too much!”

”I am a member of the Wu family, you cannot kill me!”

The three seemed completely suppressed by an inexplicable aura. They stood frozen, forced to watch as the descending hand captured them. Unable to break free in the slightest, they roared and roared.

Steward Yue’s tone was as polite as ever. “You three, I wish you well.”

That giant hand was instantly dyed red. The fate of the three went without saying. Steward Yue flicked his sleeve as if nothing had ever happened. The giant hand, along with the sky-full of blood rain, vanished into nothingness.

Casually, he glanced toward the sky above. Within a place unseen by the crowd, an old man and a bare-chested, burly man stood. Their scalps went numb, both feeling a sense of heart-pounding terror. These two were the Tiansheng hall master and the Heavenly Demon valley master. They had initially trailed behind in secret to watch the show, only to regret it bitterly.

Steward Yue was indeed very particular about propriety, no doubt. Nevertheless, his methods were vicious and cruel, making one’s hair stand on end.

Then, the courteous old man turned to Gu Han, hesitating for a moment. “Young Master, you saved Young Lady. Our clan is immensely indebted to you. What would you like in return? So long as it is within my means, I will see it done, no matter the cost. Of course, the time this soul crystal can support is not very long. Some requests still require me to—”

“Like I said, between her and me, there’s never been a need for such distinctions. I didn’t save her for any reward!” Gu Han interrupted him, turning slightly cold. “This is not a transaction!”
