Chapter 963: Unyielding
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Lingtian had received the power of the blood essence left behind by the ancestor and had almost fully absorbed the power, so he could go toe-to-toe with many of the experts of the Kunlun Mountains if he was in his peak condition.

Therefore, he would not shy away from a fight.

Ye Lingtian glanced at Mo Ning and said, “Miss Mo, you should leave first. If you have the chance to see the Hall Master in the future, please tell him that I, Ye Lingtian, was not a coward!”

With a shout, Ye Lingtian’s legs burst with strength as he leapt up into the air.

Then, he channeled his true qi into his arms and slashed down from above with his sword. The destructive sword qi pierced through the air, creating a series of violent sparks.

Seeing this, Huang Lingcheng showed no sign of dodging. He simply glanced at the two people behind him and said, “I don’t want to see this person again. Do you understand? This piece of trash is not qualified to breathe the same air as me!”

“Yes, Young Master!”

The two burly men’s eyes were filled with killing intent as they charged forward. One of them had a pair of steel-like gloves on his palm. He extended his arm and tried to grab Ye Lingtian’s sword!

Kacha!

Sparks flew everywhere.

To Ye Lingtian’s surprise, his sword was obstructed, and the power it contained had disappeared.

The glove was extremely strange.

“What kind of treasure is this?”

The burly man wearing the steel gloves had a disdainful smile on his face. He muttered something and a blood-red light surrounded his gloves.

Blood energy appeared and the spiritual sword in Ye Lingtian’s hand melted!

This scene caused Ye Lingtian and Mo Ning’s pupils to widen.

Mo Ning was born in a big family and had seen a lot of things. However, she had no idea what kind of power this glove contained that it was able to melt a spiritual sword of this grade.

Ye Lingtian could not react in time, and while he was in a daze, the other burly man struck out with his palm. The force of the blow was like a raging storm and landed on his chest.

Ye Lingtian’s chest caved in, and he was sent flying backward.

He was already injured, and the two burly men were Daoyuan realm experts. How could he resist them?

Ye Lingtian spat out a large mouthful of blood and stood up with his arms supporting him. He recalled the scene when he fought alongside Ye Chen in Huaxia.

He did not want to be a burden to the Hall Master.

The Hall Master had asked him to enter the Blood Spirit Secret Realm alone to obtain some opportunities. He could not die like this!

His body swayed as he tried to stand up. He even heard some cracking sounds coming from his bones.

Huang Lingcheng’s interest was piqued when he saw this scene. He knew how strong his two subordinates were. However, despite fighting both of them, this man was still alive, albeit barely. He was quite a character.

He placed his hands behind his back and said with interest, “You’re Ye Lingtian, right? Are you interested in joining my Huang family? If you follow me, not only can I heal you, but I can even make you as strong as my two subordinates. How about it?”

From Huang Lingcheng’s perspective, there was no way Ye Lingtian would reject this offer, as doing so was equivalent to death.

Mo Ning, who was beside Ye Lingtian, wanted to help him, but she was powerless. Her dantian was basically sealed.

She looked at Ye Lingtian’s trembling legs and tottering body and quickly said, “Ye Lingtian, just accept his proposal for now. Staying alive is more important than anything else.”

Huang Lingcheng smiled and continued. “Ye Lingtian, it seems like the young lady of the Mo family understands what is important. The rules of the Kunlun Mountains are actually very simple. The strong prey on the weak, and the weak submit in order to live. Come on. Call me Young Master Huang and lick the dirt off my shoes. From now on, you’ll be a dog by my side.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud laugh rang out.

It came from Ye Lingtian!

Ye Lingtian’s laughter reverberated throughout the surroundings. It was carefree and hearty.

“What are you laughing at?” Huang Lingcheng frowned.

Ye Lingtian’s gaze turned cold and his smile vanished. Even though his body was trembling, he still stood straight.

He allowed the blood to gush out of his body and the veins on his body bulged. He enunciated each word clearly. “I, Ye Lingtian, carry the Ye Family’s mission as my eternal duty. Throughout my entire life, I will only serve one person, and that is the Hall Master!”

“Apart from the Hall Master, no one else is qualified to order me around!”

Ye Lingtian’s attitude was clear as he spoke freely.

“Hall Master?” Huang Lingcheng’s expression turned ferocious when he heard this. “Hmph! In my presence, no one can call anyone else master! Since you refused the chance I gave you, then I’ll have your knees broken and your head decapitated!”

“Let’s see if your belief in your Hall Master helps you now!”

“As you command, Young Master!”

A burly man rushed toward Ye Lingtian and kicked his knees, causing him to fall to his knees.

The intense pain made Ye Lingtian’s forehead break out in cold sweat, but he did not make a sound.

He stared at Huang Lingcheng, and despite his broken knees, he pulled himself to his feet by sheer willpower.

His entire body was drenched in sweat, and the veins on his neck and face turned blue from exertion.

“Other than the Hall Master, no one has the right to make me kneel! Even if I am a dog, I will only be the Hall Master’s dog!”

With a roar, Ye Lingtian’s severe injuries caused a backlash and he spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Mo Ning was completely shocked by what she saw.

She did not understand how Ye Chen had managed to gain such a loyal servant. He could have survived, but refused to yield for the sake of his belief.

What did Ye Chen do to deserve this?

“Ye Lingtian, are you crazy? If you go ahead with this, you’ll die!” Mo Ning shouted at the top of her lungs.

However, Ye Lingtian smiled with a determined look in his eyes. “Miss Mo, please remember my words. If you can survive and see the Hall Master, please tell him that he is the person I admire the most in my life. If there’s a next life, I will follow him to the death once more!”

Huang Lingcheng was furious when he heard Ye Lingtian’s words. These words implied that he was not as good as the Hall Master that Ye Lingtian mentioned.

He did not want to waste any more time. He waved his hand. “Hurry up and finish off this ant. We still have a lot of things to do.”

“Yes, Young Master!”

The burly man’s eyes narrowed as a dagger appeared in his hand, gleaming coldly. He took three steps forward and stood in front of Ye Lingtian. Then, he slashed the dagger toward Ye Lingtian’s neck!
