Chapter 283: Like a Stab to the Heart

“No! He’s lying!” Xiyan Liang immediately denied Wang Ye’s words.

With An Jinxiao right in front of him, he definitely wouldn’t be able to escape.

The only way to save himself was to slander someone else. Then, he would pretend to be someone who had entered passage 7 to gain An Jinxiao’s trust.

“I’m also from passage 7. How can this place be connected to passage 1? It’s impossible! Let alone having an absurd mission that requires me to kill 10 humans from the chosen passage to survive!” Xiyan Liang shook his head.

“How could Senior Wu Yuan be so bored? This is all Wang Ye’s nonsense! He butted heads with me previously, so he wants to use this opportunity to get rid of me.”

Xiyan Liang’s brain worked in overdrive.

At this point, he knew Wang Ye’s identity. It turned out that he was the only one who knew about the mission in passage 1. Wang Ye had been lying to him.

An Jinxiao looked at Wang Ye with his beautiful eyes.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust him. Rather, she wanted to know what was Senior Wu Yuan’s purpose in setting up such a mission.

“You don’t know Senior Wu Yuan’s identity.” Wang Ye smiled. “The Senior was a cosmic pirate when he was alive. Cosmic adventurers are his natural enemies. Therefore, the cosmic adventurer symbol above passage 1 is extremely out of place.”

Xiyan Liang’s heart skipped a beat.

Damned Wang Ye! To think he hid such crucial information!

If he knew Senior Wu Yuan’s identity as a pirate, he would never have entered passage 1!

No, he wouldn’t even enter the black realm!

An Jinxiao nodded. If that was the case, it made sense.

“Why did he assign such a mission to the people from passage 1 to kill us? Is this part of the challenge?” An Jinxiao was confused.

“Yeah, it’s nonsense!” Xiyan Liang tried his best to defend himself. “If the master of the black realm was really a cosmic pirate, why would he let the cosmic adventurers live? Moreover, many cosmic adventurers entered other passages!”

Wang Ye said, “I’m guessing that Senior Wu Yuan’s death is related to the cosmic adventurers. Some cowardly cosmic adventurer likely caused his death. That’s why he set up passage 1.”

Cowardly?

Xiyan Liang cursed in his heart.

That was like a stab to the heart!

To think this shameless bastard still had the face to belittle others.

“As for the mission…” Wang Ye looked at An Jinxiao. “I think this might be a part of the treasure or inheritance we will obtain. Think about it. What is Senior Wu Yuan’s obsession? Inheritance? Maybe it’s just a part of it. As a proud and free cosmic pirate, what he wants more is revenge! If the cosmic humans who received his inheritance and treasures are not even willing to kill cosmic adventurers, then what’s the point of giving them treasures?”

Inheritance?

To be honest, Senior Wu Yuan was not qualified to have one. After all, he hadn’t even broken through the reincarnation and become an Undying-level expert.

Moreover, based on his understanding of the other party, cosmic pirates disdained doing such a thing.

“This is all his speculation! It’s all a self-directed and self-performed script!” Xiyan Liang blamed Wang Ye, “Wang Ye wants to kill me with a borrowed knife! An Jinxiao, you’re smart. Don’t fall for his tricks!”

Wang Ye watched Xiyan Liang’s final struggle. “You can take out the dark substance cores now.”

“For what?” Xiyan Liang was startled.

Wang Ye smiled. “To absorb them. The cosmic humans who enter passage 7 can absorb the dark substance cores of the thunder-fusion dark beasts and improve their comprehension. From there, they have the qualifications to challenge and obtain treasures.”

An Jinxiao’s beautiful eyes were bright. She had long sensed the powerful energy of the dark substance cores on Xiyan Liang.

So that’s how it was.

Swoosh!

Xiyan Liang’s face turned deathly pale.

Wang Ye’s words were like a thunderbolt that destroyed all his vitality.

How could he refute? How could he defend himself?

His identity was confirmed.

“Go to hell!” Xiyan Liang’s face was twisted, revealing a ferocious look.

He hated Wang Ye to the core and knew that his death was imminent. The only thing he could do now was to take revenge!

He would kill this despicable cosmic-level warrior!

Whoosh!

A powerful aura appeared behind him and enveloped him. An Jinxiao had already locked onto him.

However, Xiyan Liang simply ignored An Jinxiao’s presence as he charged at Wang Ye.

An Jinxiao unsheathed her sword. Her sword intent was monstrous and the sword energy was majestic as lightning flashed.

At this moment, Wang Ye and Xiyan Liang were already facing each other.

Saber and sword collided fiercely, and combat energy intertwined.

Xiyan Liang couldn’t unleash his full power in passage 7 where his Spatial Control was sealed.

In contrast, Wang Ye’s strength had greatly increased!

Thunder-fusion Technique!

The Origin Spell condensed a large amount of lightning and fused into the Nine Sharp Saber. Layers of mystical engravings were activated one after another. Wang Ye went all out, and his combat strength was no inferior to Xiyan Liang’s.

“He’s so strong at the cosmic level?” Xiyan Liang’s expression changed.

Wang Ye’s strength far exceeded his expectations.

Although he had seen Wang Ye fight with the thunder-fusion dark beasts, he had paid more attention to the latter’s talent of Immortality. As for his combat prowess…

Boom!

The explosion of the One-Hit Spell forced Xiyan Liang back.

The Virtual Image Spell formed another Wang Ye, and the two sabers slashed together. The Sore-inflicting Saber Technique was used, and the power of the Thunder-fusion Technique was fully displayed.

In an instant, Wang Ye had the upper hand!

“Damn it!” Xiyan Liang gritted his teeth and defended himself.

The mystical engravings on his Dark Energy-level equipment were instantly activated, and his black battle armor condensed layers of exquisite light to stabilize his defense.

Just as he was about to counterattack, a terrifying sword energy appeared, penetrating everything!

It was far more powerful than him!

“No!” Xiyan Liang’s eyes were filled with shock. He tried his best to dodge, but the sword energy still pierced through him.

In the distance, An Jinxiao’s beautiful face terrified Xi Yan.

The towering sword intent pressed down. Even though the Effulgent Body bloodline allowed him to ignore aura pressure, the might of sword intent was a matter of skill, not the suppression of the path.

“Shit!” Xiyan Liang was completely distracted by An Jinxiao’s attack.

It was already too late by the time he came to his senses.

Wang Ye appeared behind him at some point in time, and the eight layers of mystical engravings on the Nine Sharp Saber were fully activated!

His combat energy and lightning were like two armies trampling on Xiyan Liang’s body.

Boom!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Combat energy erupted and lightning exploded. Wang Ye’s carefree attacks killed Xiyan Liang!

Xiyan Liang’s physical body collapsed. His eyes widened on his distorted face, filled with unwillingness and shock.

It was hard to believe that Wang Ye, whom he had always looked down on, not only had crushing intelligence but was also no inferior to him in terms of strength!

“Hmm?” Wang Ye suddenly realized that a mark had appeared on his hand.

A thunder-fusion dark beast like a totem and a token. It was exactly the same as the symbol above passage 7.

“I can sense it.” Wang Ye looked at the three stairways.

Previously, he could only see the height and brightness of the three stairways. It was purely through observation.

But now, just like when he was outside passage 7, he could sense the huge energy source and the strength of the suction force in the three stairways. It was as if he had opened a door and obtained the right to enter.

An Jinxiao appeared in front of him. Her beautiful eyes landed on Wang Ye’s wrist. “A hidden requirement?”

“Yes, my previous deduction was correct. The mission is mutual. It’s just that we weren’t given any hints. It should be a test given to us by Senior Wu Yuan,” Wang Ye said. “We have to kill cosmic humans from passage 1 to

Wang Ye paused.

He remembered the corpse he saw when he first entered passage 7. The dead man was very likely to have come from passage 1!

It definitely wasn’t An Jinxiao, otherwise, there should be a mark on her wrist now.

Besides, with her proud personality, she would never steal a man’s equipment.

Hayat’s previous information should be correct. Only An Jinxiao, Tangque Loumen, and himself had entered passage 7.

Tangque Loumen had not been seen for the past two cosmic days. With his strength, it was impossible for him to be killed by the thunder-fusion dark beasts, so…

Wang Ye instantly understood.

Good heavens. His actions were really fast.

“So, I also need to kill a cosmic human from passage 1?” An Jinxiao was deep in thought.

Wang Ye nodded. “With the thunder-fusion dark beast’s mark, you’ll be able to sense the three stairways. This should be a fixed requirement. Even if your strength meets the requirements, you might not be able to enter the stairways without the mark. And even if you somehow got in, you won’t be able to obtain any treasures.”

“But,” An Jinxiao pursed her thin lips. “I haven’t seen anyone else in the past few days.”

She was just unlucky.

She didn’t bump into Tangque Loumen, who had already entered the stairways before she could learn about it.

The only two cosmic humans from passage 1 were both dead too.

“After our batch entered the tunnel, quite several cosmic humans should have entered passage 1 right?” An Jinxiao asked.

“I think it was only Xiyan Liang.” Wang Ye thought about it.

An Jinxiao was stunned. “No way.”

Wang Ye grinned sheepishly. After all, he had arranged for them to enter passage 2.

“What the hell did you do this time…” An Jinxiao understood immediately. She stared at him with her beautiful eyes. “Did you lower the price for the second consultation?”

“Am I that kind of person?” Wang Ye said righteously.

Lower the price?

This was distrust in his abilities!

An Jinxiao sighed.

There was no need to say more. She already understood.

To think this audacious cosmic-level human had manipulated the Dark Energy-level elites like her!

Although she did not know what he had done, there should be no one in passage 1 now.

“To be honest, you don’t have to worry.” Wang Ye smiled. “Looking at the time, the second batch of elites from the five cosmic nations should have already entered the core region. I believe many of them will enter passage 1. Now that you know the requirements of the mission, it won’t be difficult for you to complete it with your strength.”

An Jinxiao nodded, and her beautiful face relaxed a little. It was the right choice to ally with Wang Ye.

“I thought that you were only outstanding in intelligence. I didn’t expect you to be so strong.” An Jinxiao looked at Wang Ye and praised him. “Even without me, he shouldn’t be a match for you.”

“With you holding the fort, I’ll be more at ease.” Wang Ye smiled.

“He lost to you. He died a worthy death.” An Jinxiao glanced at Xiyan Liang’s corpse.

“From the moment he chose to enter passage 1, he’s already dead meat. The strong prey on the weak in the cosmic,” Wang Ye said. “One step back is often a bottomless abyss.”

“You’ve thought it quite through.” An Jinxiao’s eyes flickered.

“Because I have no way out.” Wang Ye smiled at An Jinxiao, then bent down and touched Xiyan Liang’s body.

In an instant, light flashed in front of him.
