Chapter 327 - Welcoming the Wind and Washing Away the Dust
Chapter 327: Welcoming the Wind and Washing Away the Dust
Rumble... The supreme divine beasts fell to the ground one after another. Their terrifying physical bodies did not suffer any injuries from the fall. Even if they died, they were as firm as a rock.
Instead, the ground was smashed into a few deep pits by them.
The ground was trembling. People’s hearts were unable to hold themselves back from the impact.
At that moment, Ye Xiao was a god!
He was the number one martial arts expert in the human world!
He was completely the number one martial arts expert in the human world!
Looking at the figure standing proudly in front of the country’s gate, everyone was instantly filled with endless emotions.
Ye Xiao kept the few supreme divine beasts, but at that time, there were no star beasts that descended from the sky.
The supreme divine beasts in the world were far from just that point. They were only afraid. They were completely terrified by Ye Xiao’s strength!
Ye Xiao looked at the clouds. His sharp eyes could see through the few figures hiding behind the clouds.
“If you want to fight, then fight. Cower like a mouse. Is this the style of the supreme divine beasts?”
As he spoke, the clouds rolled a little.
Several auras were slowly pressing toward them.
However, at that moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky.
It sounded like a warning. With a command, all the star beasts that were about to attack retreated quickly.
In an instant, all the pressure was gone.
Jiang Chen could not help but ask in confusion,
“Did the star beasts retreat?”
The Azure Dragon nodded.
“Yes. At least that’s what we saw.”
They were overjoyed.
“Great! Ye Xiao deserves it! I knew he could do it.”
“Even I can’t help but admire him.”
The Azure Dragon said leisurely,
“But you just said you wanted me to go up and help.”
The crowd smiled awkwardly.
Then Jiang Chen shouted towards the back,
“All the martial artists, go back to the zones and stay alert.”
As soon as those words were said, everyone began to guess in disbelief.
“Did the star beast retreat?”
“Senior Saber-sword Immortal beat back the star beast!”
“We won!”
“We don’t have to die!”
“Senior Saber-sword Immortal, long live!”
“Long live!”
After they completely understood, everyone began to cheer excitedly.
They were too excited.
One had to know that even if that Beast Calamity was not that kind of extremely destructive one, it was just an ordinary Beast Calamity. In the past, the Nine Province’s human race did not know how many people would be sacrificed?
At that time, the extremely powerful Beast Calamity directly destroyed all the other regions except the Nine Provinces!
However, in the Nine Provinces, not a single person died.
How lucky was that place!
All of that was all because of that Senior Saber-sword Immortal who guarded the National Gate alone!
It was him who single-handedly killed eight supreme divine beasts that were comparable to human Emperor realm martial artists, as well as killing wave after wave of star beasts!
Hence, it was imaginable how grateful everyone was to him.
Azure Dragon came to Ye Xiao’s side and spoke once again,
“Ye Xiao, it’s been hard on you.”
Ye Xiao shook his head.
“It’s nothing. I’m just doing something that I can do!”
“To you, it might be something that you can do, or even something insignificant. But to us, it’s a favor that we’ll be eternally grateful for with our entire lives.”
“Seniors, you’re exaggerating. Moreover, it’s still too early to say thank you now.”
Pausing for a moment, he opened his mouth again and said,
“The divine blood extracted from the other states is so huge. The supreme divine beasts created are far more than just eight.
“Moreover, I don’t even know who the mastermind behind them is.
“We still have many enemies in the future. There are many places that we need to be wary of in the future!”
Everyone nodded.
“Supreme divine beasts are everywhere. There are also those veteran supreme divine beasts in the starry sky. Their strength will definitely be several times stronger than those supreme divine beasts who have just advanced!
“I hope we can hold on.”
The crowd gradually retreated, and the martial artists also gradually dispersed. Ye Xiao left the four venerable ones alone.
“Four venerable ones, at present, the human race in the rest of the world has been mostly wiped out by the star beasts. Therefore, there is no need for the space battlefield to exist anymore.
“If possible, I suggest that the human martial arts in the space battlefield be withdrawn.
“The human martial artists on the space battlefield are several times stronger than the martial artists on the ground.
“With them, we can ensure that we can win this long and arduous battle.”
The four venerable ones nodded.
“What you said does make some sense. However, we still need to communicate with the space battlefield.
“The space battlefield is independent and above the surface world.
“We can only give orders to the ground from the space battlefield, but we can’t do it from the ground.”
“Then let’s do it as soon as possible. Splitting our forces into two places isn’t a solution after all. If the enemy intercepts one place alone, we might be in big trouble.”
Ye Xiao sighed slightly.
He did not know the reason. Although the star beasts had all left, he vaguely felt that something was not quite right.
After advancing to the Emperor realm, his sixth sense had also improved a lot.
Most of the time, that feeling was not imaginary. It would inevitably cause some unimaginable tragedy!
After everyone bid farewell, Ye Xiao returned to Jianghai city.
Looking at his phone, there were a lot of missed calls.
Some were from Gu Hai, Yang Xi, the director, and even Liu Chengxun and Piao Jiansheng.
However, just as Ye Xiao returned to Jianghai city, a figure immediately rushed over.
It was Liu Chengxun.
He came to Ye Xiao’s side and appeared very excited.
“Ye...”
He was just about to open his mouth and call out Ye Xiao’s name, but he quickly stopped and cupped his hands toward Ye Xiao,
“Liu Chengxun pays his respects to the Saber-sword Immortal!”
Ye Xiao smiled speechlessly.
“Old Liu, there’s no need to be so distant. I don’t really care about that identity. It’s fine as long as it’s the same as before.”
Liu Chengxun nodded, but his expression was still somewhat reserved.
“I won’t be able to get used to it for a while. Let me get used to it first.
“I’ve always wanted to meet Senior Saber-sword Immortal, but I did not expect him to be by my side.
“I suddenly felt like an idiot. To think that I didn’t notice it at all.”
Ye Xiao smiled.
“If you were to notice it so easily, would I still be Saber-sword Immortal?”
Liu Chengxun patted his head.
“You’re right. Look at my brain. It’s getting dumber and dumber.”
“Speaking of which, how did you come back?”
“The Han state has fallen. There are only a few Hans left. I really have no way to save them. I can only come back first.
“I’ve already done my best for the Han state. I’ve repaid them for their nurturing over the years.
“If it weren’t for the sword ray you gave me, I might have already died for the Han state.
“Speaking of this matter, I still have to thank you properly!”
“You’re welcome. Consider it my thanks to you for helping Jianghai city in the past.”
Liu Chengxun chuckled.
“That won’t do! No matter what, I was saved by you. I can’t just shamelessly lie down like this. Come, I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Ye Xiao nodded.
At that moment, his cell phone rang again. It was a call from Gu Hai.
“Hello!”
“That... Old... Uh... No, Senior Ye! Is it Senior Ye?”
Gu Hai seemed to have searched through a whole circle of words before he finally found a more suitable word for himself.
Ye Xiao smiled speechlessly.
“Alright, don’t be so long-winded. Tell me, why are you looking for me?”
“I want to see you.”
“Okay, sure. I’m going to have dinner with Old Liu. I’ll call you when I find a place.”
“Okay!”
Half an hour later, the three of them gathered at a hotpot restaurant in Jianghai city and ordered a private room.
Gu Hai came over with a dusty face. He was wearing a suit, which made him look particularly formal. However, he might have come on an electric scooter, so his hair was very messy and looked a bit strange.
“Why are you dressed so formally in the middle of the night? It looks like you’re out on a blind date.”
Gu Hai’s old face was slightly red.
“Didn’t I say that I’m here to meet you, the great hero of the human race? So, I’ll dress more formally.
“I definitely have to give you sufficient etiquette and respect.”
Liu Chengxun, who was at the side, interrupted,
“Ye Xiao doesn’t like others to do this kind of thing. You just have to be your usual self.”
Gu Hai waved his hand.
“Go, go, go. You’re a stick, so what do you know? That is our Nine Province’s great hero, not your Han state’s. Of course, you don’t understand my feelings.”
Liu Chengxun shook his head.
“What you said is wrong. Ye Xiao is not only a great hero of the Nine Provinces but also a great hero of the human race!”
“Then he has to be from our Jianghai city first!”
“I’m sorry, my ancestral hometown is also from Jianghai city.”
“Immigration doesn’t count.”
“I’ve already moved back.”
Ye Xiao looked at the two bickering and was rather speechless.
“Don’t argue here, okay? Four-fifths of the human race has already perished. Can’t the two of you stop?”
Only then did the two of them stop.
Gu Hai picked up a lot of beef for Ye Xiao.
“Ye Xiao, eat the beef. You just won such a big battle. You must be starving, right? Hurry up and eat something to replenish your hunger.”
Liu Chengxun said faintly,
“He’s already at the Emperor realm. What can he get from eating beef?”
Gu Hai glared.
“Why are you the only one who talks too much? I’m welcoming Ye Xiao to the banquet. There’s a special meaning to it.”
Liu Chengxun could not be bothered to argue with him. Having survived a disaster, his thoughts were now much broader than before. He was tasting wine and eating dishes by himself.
Gu Hai kept putting food into Ye Xiao’s bowl as he said,
“Ye Xiao, you were the one who saved me the last few times, right? I was puzzled before. You said that I didn’t know Saber-sword Immortal, so why did he come out to save me? Now that I think about it, I’m really a big idiot!
“It must be Saber-sword Immortal and me who know each other.”
Ye Xiao said leisurely,
“Regarding the matter regarding my identity, I don’t want to expose it to others excessively. The two of you will know once you know.. Don’t tell the people around you.”
