Sweeping Through the Army!
Seeing Tian Can and his group charging, Ye Cangtian didn't hesitate. He drew his golden great ring saber and swept it horizontally.
With just one move, the enemy guards within the fan-shaped area before him were all forced back.
As for Tian Can, he used the Body Replacement Technique.
Using the Body Replacement Technique, he avoided Ye Cangtian and darted in front of him, his samurai sword chopping down frantically.
"Tian Can, is this all you've got?"
"You truly disappoint me!"
Blocking Tian Can's attack, Ye Cangtian's face showed utter disdain. Before Tian Can could speak, his golden great ring saber descended from above.
Hiss…
Feeling the momentum of the golden great ring saber cleaving down, Tian Can gasped, gritted his teeth, and blocked with all his might.
Clang!
With a crisp sound, the samurai sword trembled slightly.
Tian Can was suddenly baffled, wondering why he had so easily blocked this attack.
But before he could figure it out, in a very short time, the samurai sword was raised and brought down again.
In an instant, Tian Can felt a mountain-like weight transmitted through the samurai sword.
Crack!
With another loud crack, the samurai sword snapped.
The golden saber shadow fell, and a complete arm, accompanied by splashing blood, dropped to the ground.
At the critical moment, Tian Can finally reacted, unleashing his full potential and narrowly avoiding a fatal blow.
However, this was not the end. Seeing Tian Can heavily injured, Ye Cangtian immediately followed up with another sweep.
But this time, he didn't cut Tian Can in half; he only cut through Tian Can's robes.
At the last moment!
Tian Can once again used the Body Replacement Technique, forcibly creating distance between himself and Ye Cangtian.
At this moment, his face was contorted in pain, and he looked at Ye Cangtian with considerable apprehension.
The power of the attack just now was no less than a full-power strike from a mid-stage Earth-tier expert.
He couldn't understand why Po Xiao, who had just been promoted to an Earth-tier steward, possessed such formidable combat power.
In his opinion, Po Xiao should have been at the same early-stage Earth-tier level as himself…
Or rather, the opponent, at the same cultivation level, could actually display the power of a mid-stage Earth-tier expert. Truly terrifying!
"Po Xiao, you're ruthless today!"
"I will remember this enmity, and we'll see each other again, as the mountains don't turn and the water flows!"
Glancing at Ye Cangtian, Tian Can's eyes were filled with venom.
He had lost an arm to Ye Cangtian, his strength greatly diminished. If he continued to fight, he would surely die.
Therefore, after uttering the harsh words, Tian Can grabbed his broken saber and his figure flickered.
At this moment, he could no longer care about the other members of the Tian Can Tower; his own life was paramount.
Watching Tian Can's hasty escape, Ye Cangtian's face showed a strong disdain; he did not pursue.
Even if Tian Can recovered from his injuries, he would be permanently crippled, and his combat power greatly reduced, posing less of a threat.
What was important to him now was to minimize casualties.
"People of the Tian Can Tower, listen up! Tian Can has abandoned you. If you don't want to die, surrender immediately!"
As soon as the voice fell, the sounds of weapons hitting the ground echoed.
After all, Tian Can was the soul pillar of the Tian Can Tower. Everyone had been silently watching him, so they had also seen Tian Can's defeat and escape.
Tian Can had fled, and he had treated them as worthless. Naturally, they were filled with resentment.
With Ye Cangtian's words added at this moment, most of them directly chose to surrender and abandon resistance. Only a small portion continued to struggle in vain.
However, the intensity of this struggle grew weaker and weaker, and before long, it completely disappeared.
The situation was now locked in victory. Ye Cangtian dispatched some guards to escort the people of the Tian Can Tower back, while he himself led the remaining guards directly to the Tian Can Tower.
With the elites of the Tian Can Tower wiped out and the remaining members few in number, they were no longer a threat.
Tian Can also knew this, so he would certainly not flee back to the Tian Can Tower.
In this way, the Tian Can Tower would have almost no ability to resist. He could just as well take the opportunity to destroy the Tian Can Tower and see what valuable spoils of war there were.
Everything went as Ye Cangtian had expected. The sweep of the Tian Can Tower was very smooth, but there were no valuable spoils of war at all.
Apart from some spirit stones and ordinary weapons and armor, not even a single small restorative pill was found. Ye Cangtian was quite speechless about this.
Needless to say, the truly good items must be in Tian Can's possession. It was just that he hadn't thought of it earlier, otherwise, he would have definitely stopped Tian Can.
...
Returning to the branch.
After a tiring day, Ye Cangtian went directly back to his room.
As soon as he opened the door, the aroma of cooked food wafted out. Mandola had prepared a sumptuous dinner to repay Ye Cangtian.
At the same time, a thudding sound was heard, and Fei Yan knelt before Ye Cangtian.
She had taken the elixir and her entire body's spiritual energy had been restored.
"Thank you, Lord Po Xiao, for saving my life. Fei Yan is willing to follow Big Sister and serve you together. I beg you to take me in."
As the voice spoke, Ye Cangtian quickly helped Fei Yan up and said with a smile, "You are Mandola's sister, so you are my sister. There's no need to be so polite."
Ye Cangtian would naturally not refuse Fei Yan. The girl had a deep sisterly bond with Mandola.
With Fei Yan accompanying Mandola, he could also feel more at ease after he left.
"My Lord, now that the Tian Can Tower has been destroyed, should we return to the Dark Association headquarters?" Mandola asked from the side.
"Yes."
Ye Cangtian nodded, then said, "However, before we return, I have one more thing to do. I may have to leave for a few days. You can stay here and wait for me."
Mandola responded with a 'yes'. Seeing that he did not explain further, she did not press for details.
...
The next morning.
Ye Cangtian once again came to the city inn and found Fei Chen.
"There was a lot of commotion in Nether City yesterday. The Tian Can Tower was actually wiped out overnight by the Dark Association branch."
"This Po Xiao truly has thunderous methods, and his strength is incredibly formidable!"
"It is said that Tian Can had already reached the Earth-tier realm, but before Po Xiao, he was defeated in just a few moves…"
As soon as he met Fei Chen, Fei Chen recounted yesterday's events with a sigh.
He himself found it hard to believe that the powerful Tian Can Tower had been destroyed.
At the same time, he was extremely fortunate.
If it weren't for Ye Cangtian's strategy to have them evacuate Nether City earlier, the Anti-Dark Alliance would have been annihilated before the Tian Can Tower.
"I heard the news. To be honest, it was quite unexpected."
As Ye Cangtian spoke, his expression turned serious and he said, "Let's not dwell on these things. My matters on my end are basically settled, and I can go with you to the tomb now…"
"Uh…"
Upon hearing this, Fei Chen was slightly taken aback, then he looked deeply at Ye Cangtian and said, "Mr. Ye, you didn't infiltrate the Dark Association or the Tian Can Tower, did you?"
After thinking about it, Ye Cangtian had been evasive the day before, wanting to postpone the trip to the tomb.
But now, just after the Tian Can Tower and the Dark Association branch had settled their dispute, and he had time, how could it be such a coincidence?
It was impossible not to make him suspicious!
"Heh heh, I truly admire your imagination!"
Seeing that he was merely speculating, Ye Cangtian smiled playfully and continued, "My portrait has long been circulated in the ruins. Is it possible for me to infiltrate other factions?"
Uh…
Hearing him say that, Fei Chen was instantly rendered speechless.
As one of the top-ranked individuals on the Dark Association's bounty list, Ye Cangtian's portrait had long been spread throughout the ruins. How many people didn't recognize his face?
Thinking of this, Fei Chen dismissed all his suspicions and said, "Since Mr. Ye is now free, let's set off immediately…"
And so, Ye Cangtian followed Fei Chen, and the two of them left Nether City, heading towards the forests surrounding Nether City.
