C41 If you want to play with something big just play with it

Pu! A coppery smell assailed the nostrils, and blood spurted all over Ye Ming.

The pungent smell made everyone nauseous, but luckily Ye Ming was calm enough and did not throw up on the spot.

Only then did he have the chance to clearly see what had attacked him, a huge snake about twenty meters long. Its head had fallen to the ground as its body had been split into two, and the latter part was still rolling around non-stop.

Seeing Ye Yang placed his blade into the sheath on his waist, he finally regained his senses, and said gratefully, "Thank you Young Patriarch. But for you, I would have already been a dead body by now."

“It’s alright. Stay alert when you are in the forest. You can see if there is any crystal nucleus.” Ye Yang pointed to the snake head on the ground. He was rather satisfied with Ye Ming. After all, not everyone who walked back from the border of life and death could recover so quickly. It would be good if they did not collapse on the ground.

Ye Ming immediately pulled out his blade and cut open the snake head. Holding a diamond shaped object, he said excitedly: “Young Patriarch! look! There really is a crystal nucleus! If it's in our Eight Desolations City, this kind of crystal nucleus can be sold for more than 100 gold coins.”

"Alright, keep it. Oh, don't call me Young Patriarch from now on. Ye Yang is ok, or maybe you can just call me Brother Ye," Ye Yang said.

"That’s really good. I'll call you Brother Ye from now on." Ye Ming was extremely excited, as Ye Yang was his idol.

Ye Yang took out a set of clothes from his ring. "Get changed. We still need to continue our journey to kill as many Demonic Beasts as possible so we can share some with their team."

They found a pond to let Ye Ming wash himself clean and change his clothes. The two took out a simple map that had been distributed previously and realised that they were being teleported to a border region. If they wanted to kill more Demonic Beasts, they could only head towards the center.

Along the way, they met with many First Ranked Demonic Beasts, but they were all killed by Ye Yang, so Ye Ming was even more respectful towards him.

They occasionally ran into some relatively weak Demonic Beasts, when Ye Yang would let Ye Ming practice, too. Two days later, the two killed forty-odd First Ranked Demonic Beasts, and the two days of desperate fighting and killing even prompted Ye Ming to break through into Martial Cultivator at the First Empyrean.

Until noon, they met a hunting team. The leader was surprisingly a fifteen or sixteen years old girl, Lan Caidie.

Lan Caidie was also startled when she saw Ye Yang. On that day, although the white robed old man did not reveal Ye Yang's identity as a Spiritual Cultivator, a smart person like her had guessed it already.

"Hey, Ye Yang, what a coincidence!" Lan Caidie cheerfully greeted without any restraint, as if they were very familiar with each other.

"Haha, it is. After killing wild beasts for so long, I finally got to see a beauty," Ye Yang laughed.

It was obvious that she did not expect Ye Yang to tease her so easily, but she was not angry. Instead, she rolled her eyes and said, "Ye Yang, how about make a deal with me?"

"Oh, what kind of deal? I'm not very good at doing business. I often lose all my money and can't even buy a pair of pants …" Ye Yang teased, but he had a bad feeling in his heart. This little girl was definitely a clever one.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that you, Young Master Ye, would still have the mood to talk nonsense. I wonder if you'll still be in the mood to continue teasing me after knowing the situation of the other team from your Eight Desolations City." The grinning girl slightly pulled one of her pigtails.

Ye Yang's heart sank, and he anxiously asked, "What happened to the other team? Please tell us!"

"I can tell you guys, but … " Lan Caidie said as she tilted her head.

"But what?" Ye Ming asked anxiously.

"I need your promise that you owe me a favor, Ye Yang," Lan Caidie said as she pointed at Ye Yang.

Although Ye Yang knew that this cunning fox was definitely very difficult to deal with, but when he thought about the safety of Ye Qingxuan and the others, he still nodded, "I promise."

"Really? Aren't you afraid that I'll deliberately make things difficult for you? Lan Caidie is not someone who is easy to repay, "Lan Caidie said, a little surprised.

"I'm afraid, but I'm more afraid that my friends were going to be hurt. Just tell me," Ye Yang said with a wry smile.

"Good, straightforward, much more manly than that Mu Bai. There's a valley about a hundred kilometers to the west of here. Your group is trapped by a few Nan Li City teams and can't get out. "

"Furthermore, they are said to lure Demonic Beasts into the valley. Although the academy rules state that students are not allowed to kill each other, they don’t say that one cannot be killed by Demonic Beasts."

After hearing what Lan Caidie had said, a cold killing intent immediately filled Ye Yang's eyes. He had originally thought that no matter how sinister they were, they would only trap them so they would fail to complete the mission and be eliminated.

He never thought that they would actually want to completely exterminate them. Ye Yang's heart was ignited with raging fury; were they really want to force me to retaliate by killing?

Seeing the killing intent in Ye Yang's eyes, Lan Caidie was frightened, and immediately shouted out, "You can't kill them, or you will be kicked out of the academy, then you can’t repay me!"

"Don't worry. I am someone who keeps his promises. Thank you for today’s matter. Ye Ming, let's go!" he said as he left with Ye Ming.

Lan Caidie gently shook her head and mumbled to herself, "Since my mission has already been completed, I might as well go and have a look. I keep having the feeling that Ye Yang isn't the one who will let himself suffer a loss. Hee-hee, this is quite like me.”

Thinking of this, she could no longer hold on and said to the people behind her, "Let's go and watch the show. It will be a pity to miss it!" She went towards the west with her team.

Ye Yang was still looking at the map incessantly, as if he was looking for something. Thinking about their friends’ safety, Ye Ming said somewhat anxiously, "Brother Ye, what are you still looking for? Isn't the direction already clear? Let's hurry up. Everything will be done if we're late."

"Relax, they'll be fine in a short period of time. Now that their Nan Li City is so ruthless, then don't blame me for being ruthless. If they want to play, then let’s play big." Ye Yang laughed.

Ye Ming could fully feel the thick killing intent behind Ye Yang's words, and when he thought of Ye Yang’s ruthlessness back then, he couldn't help but shiver.

"Alright, come with me. We don’t have much time; we have to run to two places, let's go," he said as he disappeared in the forest with Ye Ming.

In a small valley about five hundred in radius, three sides were unclimbable steep mountains, and there was only a narrow exit guarded by fifty or sixty people.

Inside the valley, a group of Eight Desolations City disciples looked outside nervously, but didn't dare to rush out.

"Sister Qing Xuan, we've tried to rush out for a few times but still failed. Are we just waiting for them to lure the Demonic Beasts into here to kill us?" One of the Ye Family disciples said dejectedly.

"Don't worry. We will do our best to stall for time. When Ye Yang gets the news, he will definitely come to save us," Ye Qingxuan said firmly. For some reason, when she thought about Ye Yang's warm smile, she was filled with confidence.

"But there's just the Young Patriarch alone. With so many people outside, what can he do?" The disciple said worriedly.

"Don't worry, when has Ye Yang ever let us down? All we need to do is work hard to protect our lives, be careful! They seem to have obtained some Demonic Beasts," Ye Qingxuan stood up with a solemn face.

Everyone raised their heads, only to see a total of thirty or so people carrying an unconscious Demonic Beast and placing it on the ground. When they took a closer look, their hearts sank.

It turned out to be a Sword Barbarian Elephant. Sword Barbarian Elephant was First Ranked Demonic Beast, but it was one of the strongest and its killing power was extremely powerful. It was obvious that these people used something like knockout gases to render the Demonic Beast unconscious and then carried it to here.

They were all extremely crafty. All these sixty men were standing guard at the entrance of the valley after carrying the Sword Barbarian Elephant, not leaving them any opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

Afterwards, some other people placed some firewood behind the Sword Barbarian Elephant and ignited them to form a wall of fire. One of these people threw a medicine bag in front of the large head of the Sword Barbarian Elephant.

After a few breaths, the Sword Barbarian Elephant slowly woke up. Seeing that there was a fire behind itself, it hastily ran forward and then noticed the Eight Desolations City disciples in front of it; it immediately rushed forward angrily as if recognized them as its enemies who set the fire to tease it.

"Ha-ha, how about we making a bet. I bet they won't last more than an hour!"

"Tch! you are kidding! You underestimate Sword Barbarian Elephant too much. I bet they won't be able to hold on for a duration of burning out two joss sticks! "

"Sigh, what a pity! There are still a few beauties inside. They will die without even experiencing the pleasure between men and women; isn't that a bit of a waste?"

"What are you worried about? The higher-ups said that as long as you do this perfectly, no matter if you pass the exam or not, you will be able to live a life of wealth and glory after returning home. At that time, how many women can’t you have?"

"Hahahaha!"

However, as they were laughing wildly, they didn't notice that a huge figure had quietly arrived above them.

Without hearing the mocking laughter of the crowd outside, the Eight Desolations City disciples all nervously looked at the oncoming Sword Barbarian Elephant. Ye Qingxuan took out a long sword and stood in front of the group, but her body was so small compared to the Sword Barbarian Elephant.

Gu Yang clenched his teeth, took out his weapon and stood beside Ye Qingxuan; a bitter aura filling everyone's hearts.

Seeing this, everyone forgot the fear in their hearts. They all took out their weapons and prepared to fight. Even though they knew that they were no match for it, they still had to go all out.

Seeing that the Sword Barbarian Elephant was about to rush to their faces, some of the timid ones had already closed their eyes and were quietly waiting for the moment being smashed.

"Boom!"

The dust was blowing, and the Sword Barbarian Elephant fell to the ground with a loud rumble. It was like a mountain of flesh as it hit the ground in front of everyone's feet.

On the head of the Sword Barbarian Elephant was a black metal spear, most of which had already sunk into the huge brain of the Sword Barbarian Elephant, and the end of the spear was held in the hands of a black-robed youth.

"Ye Yang!" everybody exclaimed, shocked.

"Sorry for being late. You must be terrified. To express my apologies, I invite you all to watch a show," Ye Yang grinned at them.
