"Haha, you're dead, Xiao!"
"Haha, damn Ye Xiao, you deserve it!"
At this moment, happy jeers rang out from all the Ye family members. They all believed that once the Ye family head's attack landed, he would die, his body and soul completely destroyed.
"Well, I'm sorry, Lin Yui. This is his fate," the Ye family head said in a deep voice as he arrived right in front of Ye Xiao. A hint of hesitation welled up in his heart as he remembered that Lin Yui was none other than Ye Xiao's mother. The Ye family head even closed his eyes as the energy from his two steel fists was about to hit Ye Xiao. He sat on the ground, supporting himself with his hands behind his back.
Ye Xiao was similarly shocked. The powerful aura from his father's fists was so powerful that he could hardly open his eyes.
But just as the Ye family head's attack was about to hit Ye Xiao, his body suddenly radiated a golden light.
Boom...
Ehhh...
What...???
Because they were too close, the Ye family head's body was hit by the explosion and sent flying dozens of meters away.
At the same time, the golden light suddenly faded and disappeared, along with Ye Xiao's body.
"What happened?"
Everyone in the Ye family was shocked by the golden light that suddenly radiated from Ye Xiao. They couldn't even see anything for a moment, as if their eyes were blinded by the dazzling golden light. But when their vision returned, Ye Xiao and Aunt Zhang had also disappeared from their previous location.
Ehhh...
"Where is he?" Everyone was shocked when they couldn't find Ye Xiao anywhere.
In the distance...
Ukkhhh...
Pfffttt...
"What happened?"
The Ye family head collapsed, coughing up blood, his body in excruciating pain, nearly causing him to lose consciousness. His mind was filled with confusion and questions about what had happened. It had happened so fast that he didn't even know where the sudden force had come from.
And the next moment, his consciousness faded, and he fainted on the spot.
The foreign power only affected the Ye family head, leaving the others momentarily blinded.
"Family head!!!" Seeing the Ye family head's injured state, all the Ye family members quickly regained consciousness and rushed towards him.
None of them knew what had happened; it all happened so quickly.
Where did this power suddenly appear? They even thought a powerful figure had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and helped Ye Xiao escape.
Even the blood sword stuck in the ground disappeared.
None of them realized what was happening.
Meanwhile, Ye Xiao, who had closed his eyes, slowly opened them, confused as to why the family head hadn't attacked him even though he was right in front of him. Furthermore, the aura of his attack was no longer there.
But when his eyes opened, Ye Xiao's expression immediately changed to one of shock.
"Where is this?"
At this moment, Ye Xiao's surroundings were towering and dense, making it difficult for even sunlight to penetrate.
"Why am I here?" Ye Xiao's mind was filled with confusion, but the next moment he saw the figure of Aunt Zhang's deceased old body and the Blood Sword beside her.
"You... could it be you?" Seeing the Blood Sword, Ye Xiao immediately had a guess.
"Yes, I saved you." The Blood Sword Spirit's exhausted voice rang in Ye Xiao's spiritual sense.
"So it's true, thank you very much." Ye Xiao expressed his deep gratitude, but he was puzzled as to why the Blood Sword Spirit's voice sounded so weak and tired.
"Why do you sound so tired?" Ye Xiao continued to ask.
"Well, of course. I sacrificed most of my original strength to save you. This is also because you refused to form a soul contract with me, otherwise, I wouldn't be this tired." This time, the Blood Sword Spirit's voice sounded very annoyed.
"Oh, you mean, does it have a big impact?" Ye Xiao was surprised to hear the Blood Sword Spirit's words.
"Of course, it's about a soul contract. If our souls are connected, even if it's not young, it still wouldn't have cost me so much of my true energy." The Sword Spirit was well aware that Ye Xiao was completely unfamiliar with the world, and he didn't even know about methods like soul contracts. Therefore, the Blood Sword explained to Ye Xiao while suppressing his frustration at having lost most of his true energy to save Ye Xiao.
"Hmm, is that true?" Hearing the Blood Sword Spirit's explanation, Ye Xiao felt doubtful. Previously, he couldn't believe the Blood Sword Spirit's words, so he refused to perform the soul contract as he had promised. But now, the Blood Sword Spirit had saved him, and it seemed like he was being truthful, having made such a great sacrifice to do so.
"Yes, of course it is true. If you're afraid, now is the time. I'm very weak, and you can make a full soul contract without fear of me harming you," the Blood Sword Spirit reassured Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao's doubts were indeed justified. After all, a soul contract wouldn't be completely successful if the soul it was intended to implant resisted or its soul was stronger than the one it created. In this situation, the soul of the person who created the soul contract would be completely controlled by the soul it was attempting to control. This would undoubtedly be extremely detrimental to the person who created the soul contract. However, for some reason, the Blood Sword Spirit was unwilling to take such action and chose to completely surrender to Ye Xiao.
"Hmm, I actually had my doubts. Why do you want me to form a soul contract with you so badly? But since you saved me, I'll try to trust you this time." After a moment of hesitation, Ye Xiao finally gave the Blood Sword Spirit his word.
"Good, good, that's better." At this moment, the Blood Sword Spirit's voice sounded relieved.
"What now?"
"Well, you recover some of your energy first, and I'll teach you how to do it later," the Blood Sword Spirit said eagerly.
