The backhand slash was devoid of any flashy maneuvers.
It was thrown out directly.
The surging internal energy, upon being unleashed by the blade, transformed into your blade aura.
Boom...
It directly sent the elder leading the group flying.
Simultaneously, the blade aura sliced through the elder's clothing.
Blood seeped out.
It was the pain that jolted him into reaction.
The darkness before him had grown to a level he could no longer contend with.
His heart pounded with alarm.
"You... how did you suddenly become so powerful?"
The elder found it hard to believe.
An Ye responded with a cold retort, "Perhaps Heaven shows benevolence and has given me the chance to enter the Grandmaster realm, so I could return to seek revenge upon you all!"
Grand... Grandmaster?!
The elder understood the significance of being a Grandmaster.
In this era, Grandmasters were the ultimate power.
Take the Yu family, for instance. Despite their lineage spanning over three hundred years, the number of Grandmasters they had produced was minuscule.
The current Yu family had only one Grandmaster.
The elder panicked, "No... impossible, how could you possibly have had the chance to enter the Grandmaster realm?"
"That's not something just anyone can achieve!"
"You..."
An Ye let out a cold laugh, "Old fool, you'd best open your eyes and see the world! Don't be so insular; this world is far vaster than you comprehend!"
"Take my blade!"
An Ye gripped the blade with both hands, channeling internal energy into the blade. In a moment, a formidable aura began to surge around him.
The next second, he swung the blade horizontally.
Instantly, a torrent of internal energy surged forth, forming a powerful blade edge.
It rushed towards the elder and the others, who, before they could even react, suffered the same fate as Yu Ming.
Experts in the Inner Realm had no chance to block even a single move against a Grandmaster.
Only those in the Transformation Realm could offer some resistance.
The Transformation Realm experts, led by the elder, all fell to their knees at this moment, terror etched onto their aged faces, "He's... he's actually a true Grandmaster, how is this possible?"
"How is this possible?"
"Why?"
They were all in a panic.
Fear and dread magnified infinitely.
They wanted to struggle, to rise, but their bodies were completely beyond their control.
They had become like a puddle of mud.
An Ye declared, "Tenth Elder, this is just the beginning!"
"You all shall perish!"
The elder leading them was the Tenth Elder of the Yu family, a designation that meant he was ranked tenth among their ten strongest individuals.
Yu Shimou panicked, "Yu Muqing, wait a moment, I have something to say!"
He did not want to die.
An Ye halted his movement and said coldly, "If you have something to say, then say it quickly, don't waste my time!"
Yu Shimou stammered, "Back... back then, I didn't participate in the plotting against your parents, you..."
An Ye scoffed, "Do you think I would believe that?"
"What I'm saying is the truth, absolutely true!"
"I..."
Yu Shimou found himself unable to utter the words that had reached his lips.
An Ye showed no mercy, proceeding to annihilate the individuals before him.
Like a butcher.
With a single slash, he dispatched Yu Shimou and his companions, sending them to their demise.
By now, An Ye resembled a human demon, exuding an aura of profound terror.
In this manner, he fought his way into the Yu family estate. Wherever he passed, people fell, either dead or injured.
As An Ye's actions created too great a disturbance, the entire Yu family was alerted.
It was at this moment that the remaining nine elders and nine powerful figures of the Yu family rushed out.
They stood like an impenetrable wall before An Ye, their killing intent surging...
