The Thunderclap Storm was roaring.
Everyone was shocked by it.
They stared intently at the center of the Thunderclap Storm,
Eager to know if the Saint from the Ye Family had truly been annihilated by Xu Nian's Thunderclap Array.
Xu Nian, on the other hand, was smiling as he stood aside, watching the center of the Thunderclap Storm.
He knew that Ye Jiyun had not died.
Although the Nine Gang Heavenly Thunder Array was immensely powerful,
It was still not enough to kill Ye Jiyun.
"Boom!"
As expected, with a loud explosion,
The Thunderclap Storm completely blew apart at that moment.
A figure appeared in everyone's line of sight.
Ye Jiyun's clothes were ragged now, his hair scorched and disheveled, even his skin was charred black,
With smoke still rising from the top of his head.
He no longer possessed the imposing air of a Saint.
He looked more like an old beggar on the street.
The surrounding crowd couldn't help but laugh upon seeing this.
Ye Jiyun had actually been blasted into such a state.
He had probably never felt so embarrassed in his whole Cultivation life.
Ye Jiyun's eyes were incredibly dark and heavy.
At this moment, he was utterly furious.
Looking at Xu Nian, his gaze was like that of someone seeing the murderer of their father.
"I want you dead!"
Ye Jiyun shouted loudly, the might of a Six-star Saint bursting forth entirely.
The terrifying aura whipped his messy hair into a frenzied dance,
Creating a mad sweep around him.
The Sword Pattern on his forehead emitted a dazzling light.
Massive Sword Qi surged into the sky, stirring the winds and clouds above.
Those Cultivators below the rank of Saint were so intimidated by this frightening aura that they stepped back several paces.
They knew the Saint of the Ye Family was truly enraged.
Looking at Xu Nian again,
He had just used that move,
Draining all twelve Spirit Stones completely.
They didn't believe Xu Nian had another twelve Spirit Stones to activate the Formation, did they?
"Kid, you pushed me to this point, it's all your own doing, today if I don't kill you, then my name isn't Ye. I don't believe you have any more Spirit Stones to drive the Formation!" Ye Jiyun roared.
With those words, he leaped up, his sword surging as he swiftly stabbed towards Xu Nian.
His speed was lightning-fast, and he reached Xu Nian in the blink of an eye.
His sword was even more powerful, imbued with strong Spiritual Energy and the force of the sword.
Not to mention a Battle King—perhaps even a Six-star Saint might not be able to block this sword.
Was it over?
Everyone around was muttering to themselves.
In their eyes, if Xu Nian was out of Spirit Stones, he really might not be able to stop this sword.

Xu Xin's fists were clenched tight, her fingernails digging into her palms, drawing blood.
Zhao Qingqing even closed her eyes, unable to watch any more.
She envisioned Xu Nian being split in half by Ye Jiyun's sword.
However, facing this extremely sharp sword, Xu Nian still stood with his hands behind his back.
There was not a trace of panic on his face,
Instead, there was a sly, cunning smile.
If someone probed with their Spiritual Sense, they would surely find out.
A glow was shining from the palm of Xu Nian's right hand at this moment.
Yes, it was the Formation left to Xu Nian by Emperor Bai.
"Hum!"
Just when everyone thought Xu Nian was about to be pierced through by the sword,
A terrifying sword radiance plummeted from the sky, piercing straight down through the top of Ye Jiyun's skull.
"Ah!"
Ye Jiyun let out a muffled grunt, then his body instantly stiffened.
The sword that was about to pierce Xu Nian's heart,
Incredibly stopped one inch away from Xu Nian's chest.
The surrounding crowd was all stunned.
Wha... What's going on?
Even the Saints were taken aback.
That sword had come too quickly, too suddenly,
But the aura it carried was terrifying enough to make one's heart palpitate.
Xu Nian offered a faint smile and extended a finger, gently deflecting Ye Jiyun's sharp sword.
Yet, a finger pointed at his brow.
"Boom!"
In an instant, Ye Jiyun's body exploded into pieces.
Dead?
The surrounding crowd was dumbfounded.
How could they have expected Ye Jiyun to actually die?
How was this possible?
What exactly happened in that split second?
The Saints around them also furrowed their brows in concentration.
In that moment, they only sensed a fierce, fleeting aura.
Then, Ye Jiyun was dead.
Xu Nian looked at the astonished expressions of the surrounding people, smiling lightly.
What he had just activated was the formation passed down to him by Emperor Bai.
It was called the Three Talents Sword Array.
It consisted of three strands of Sword Qi.
What Xu Nian had just employed was the first of these three strands of Sword Qi.
Each strand of Sword Qi could kill one person.
Now, within the Sword Qi Array Diagram, two strands of Sword Qi remained.
However, the special feature of this Three Talents Sword Array was
that once activated,
all three strands of Sword Qi must be used within the span of two hours.
Otherwise, the Sword Qi would dissipate.
This was also why Emperor Bai had told him
that this formation could only be used once.
Silence surrounded them.
A Six-star War Saint had been instantly killed—what an astonishing method!
How did Xu Nian possess such capabilities?
No wonder he had remained so calm and composed; he held such a powerful trump card in his hand.
The two Elders of the Artifact Refining Sect, upon witnessing this, were also shocked to their core.
Even they were astounded by Xu Nian's methods.
Yet the stronger Xu Nian was, the happier they became.
"Who else wishes to make a move?" Xu Nian asked with a smile, looking towards the remaining two Saints from the Fang and Ye Families.
The other Three-star Saint from the Ye Family immediately fell silent.
Dammit, a Six-star Saint had been killed.
How could he dare to court death?
Although he doubted Xu Nian could launch an attack as terrifying as before,
what if he could?
If Xu Nian truly had that ability, wouldn't that spell disaster for him?
As for Fang Tianhu at this moment, his expression was also dark and unsettled.
Clearly, he too hesitated to make a move lightly.
The crowd was amazed beyond measure.
Xu Nian had actually intimidated the Saints of two major powers?
Such an event had probably never happened in history!
Xu Nian offered a slight smile, aware that he had quelled the Fang and Ye Families.
He then turned his gaze to the Tianjian Sect Master.

The Tianjian Sect had only one Saint, the Sect Master himself.
However, this person's cultivation was exceptional, having reached the realm of a Seven-star Saint,
and was on the same level as the former Sect Master Liu Mubai of the Artifact Refining Sect.
Upon seeing Xu Nian looking at him, Lei Batian could not help but snort coldly from his mouth.
"Hmph, you're just relying on some cheap tricks and cunning methods, I don't believe you can launch the same attack as before. You killed my son and so many of my Tianjian Sect disciples; I won't let you off today no matter what."
Lei Batian's voice boomed like thunder.
An intimidating presence erupted instantly, stirring the wind and clouds of heaven and earth.
Dark clouds roiled in the sky.
The entire square was shrouded in dreadful killing intent.
Lei Batian's aura shook his robes with a rustling sound.
Those around him changed their expressions to ones of fear.
A Seven-star Saint!
A Seven-star Saint had made a move.
Could Xu Nian still withstand it?
Xu Nian still wore a faint smile, standing with his hands behind his back.
"Not this expression again!"
Upon seeing this, the surrounding crowd felt a tremendous surge of shock in their hearts.
