The middle aged man’s eyes opened wide and were filled with disbelief. Never had he imagined that he would actually die just like that! In next to no time, his corpse crashed down from midair! An Exalt Realm expert perished just like that? Everyone here was shocked, and they gazed at Tang Ye as if they were looking at a monster! Ye Liangchen shivered as he pointed a finger at Tang Ye. He wanted to say something but didn’t say anything in the end, and only his eyes were filled with shock and fear! It wasn’t just Ye Liangchen, even the veiled woman and those other Exalt Realm experts from the merchant group had fear all over their faces. In the past, they’d merely heard that Tang Ye could surmount a realm of cultivation to kill Exalt Realm experts, but it was only rumors in the end, and they hadn’t seen it for themselves. But they’d seen it for themselves now! An Exalt Realm expert had just died like that before their very eyes, and Tang Ye was only a second rank Spirit Realm profounder! Would anyone in the Exalt Realm be able to stop him if he attains the Exalt Realm? Yuan Yan and the others had extremely unsightly expressions on their faces as well. They hadn’t expected that Tang Ye would still be able to kill one of their companions at a time like this! At the same time, they felt deep fear in their hearts. This fellow is truly a monstrous genius. He’s only at the second rank of the Spirit Realm. Wouldn’t he be able to kill us like we are ants if he attains the Exalt Realm?No wonder the Mortal Emperor thinks so highly of him! Yuan Yan hesitated for a moment before he said in a low voice. “Attack! They should have no more top-grade energy stones to activate the offensive formations. Let’s attack together and destroy the defensive barrier. We can’t allow him to survive no matter what!” The others nodded, and then they charged towards the ship! Tang Ye’s eyelids twitched when he saw so many Exalt Realm experts charging towards them, and then he turned to gaze at the veiled woman and said, “Activate the offensive formations!” “I have no energy stones....” The veiled woman had only spoken halfway when a ray of white light flashed, and then another 100 top-grade energy stones appeared in front of her! She took a deep glance at Tang Ye before she waved her hand and placed them into those slots on the deck. In an instant, countless rays of light shot into the air. Yuan Yan was astounded, and the expressions of the other Exalt Realm experts changed drastically! “Retreat! Quickly!” Yuan Yan’s figure flashed and appeared 300m away. The reactions of the others weren’t any slower, and they hurriedly evaded it. However, the four fellows who were charging right at the front of the group hadn’t been able to dodge in time, and they were struck by the rays of light and perished on the spot! “How could they possibly have more top-grade energy stones!” One of the Exalt Realm experts roared furiously. Yuan Yan’s expression was slightly ferocious. He hadn’t imagined that the Ocean of Clouds Merchant Group would still have more top-grade energy stones. Up until this very moment, it had at least spent 400 top-grade energy stones! 400 top-grade energy stones.... The Ocean of Clouds Merchant Group is actually that rich to casually toss away 400 top-grade energy stones! After all, even he wasn’t able to casually produce that many top-grade energy stones! The deaths of those four Exalt Realm experts caused Yuan Yan and the others to dare not attack rashly. Even though they were still 15 strong, they didn’t want to use their lives as the wager and bet on whether the enemy still had top-grade energy stones! Tang Ye heaved a sigh of relief when he witnessed this scene, and then he snuck out an extreme-grade energy stone and placed it within his pocket to be absorbed. So long as he had the ship and top-grade energy stones, then those Exalt Realm experts wouldn’t be a threat to him anymore. Conversely, he could even launch surprise attacks against them from time to time! In short, the current situation was much better than the situation he was in earlier! However, he still didn’t dare allow himself to be careless. Because the slightest bit of carelessness from him could mean that these fellows around him would launch a lethal strike against him. He hadn’t forgotten that the reason they were helping him was because he had control over Ye Liangchen’s fate! The veiled woman spoke abruptly. “Young Master Tang, let my younger brother go to recuperate. I’ll be your hostage, alright?” “No!” Ye Liangchen said, “Big Sister, I heard that this fellow is a pervert. He’ll definitely do something to you if you were to fall into his hands. Don’t mind me. I can hold on. Isn’t it just a few injuries from his sword? It’s fine!” The corners of Tang Ye’s mouth twitched. A pervert? Who exactly is spoiling my reputation!? The veiled woman glared fiercely at Ye Liangchen, and then she gazed at Tang Ye. Tang Ye waved his hand and withdrew an extreme-grade Healing Talisman before slapping it onto Ye Liangchen. Ye Liangchen was his protection charm right now, so he would naturally not allow Ye Liangchen to die. Surprise appeared on the veiled woman’s face when she saw that extreme-grade Healing Talisman, and she took a long glance at Tang Ye. This Sword Emperor is really mysterious! Bang! Suddenly, an enormous pillar of water shot out from the surface of the ocean, and then a creature with the body of a person, the tail of a fish, and a trident in his hand appeared before them. “The Mermaid Clan!” Tang Ye noticed that the veiled woman and the others had unsightly expressions on their faces while the Exalt Realm experts had extremely solemn expressions on their faces! The Mermaid Clan? What the fuck is that? Tang Ye frowned!
