“Master!” Yvonne Brooks was shocked and hurriedly supported Mason Hill, panic rising in her heart. “Master, please hold on, I’ll go get your medicine right away.”

At that moment, the yellow-clad girl Ashley Reed waved her hand impatiently, as if she was tired of the scene. “Stop pretending! Do you think coughing a few times and then faking unconsciousness will let you get away with this? Hand over the Yunxiao Sword immediately, or don’t blame me and Senior Sister Ethan for starting a massacre in your Yunlai Sword Sect.”

Ethan Brooks frowned slightly.

Although most of his level-nine psychic abilities were suppressed, his perception was still more than ten times that of an ordinary person. Naturally, he could tell who was telling the truth and who was lying.

Now, seeing the people of Xuanling Sect twisting right and wrong to such an extent, even he found it hard to watch.

Of course...

That was all.

There was a terrifying level-seven danger in the opposing camp.

With the situation unclear, self-preservation was the only way to survive.

“You all…”

Logan Foster was already furious, and upon hearing this, his anger surged, aggravating his injuries. He coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, his face turning deathly pale.

“You scoundrel!”

“Hmph! Looks like if we don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll think our Xuanling Sect is just joking around?”

The white-clad woman Ethan Sullivan snorted coldly, suddenly stepping forward. The icy, snow-like sword in her hand flashed out of its sheath in an instant.

Her target...

Was none other than Ethan Brooks!

“Not good!”

Ethan Brooks’s expression changed dramatically.

This strike was simply too fast. Although his ninth-level psychic power sensed the white-clad woman’s movement, his body couldn’t keep up with his mind’s reaction. Just as he began to move, the steel sword in the woman’s hand was already pressed against Ethan Brooks’s throat!

Cold!

A chilling coldness pierced straight to the bone!

Ethan Brooks could feel with absolute clarity the sharpness and icy touch of the sword at his throat. With just a slight push, it could pierce through his neck in an instant.

In that moment, the aura of death tightly gripped Ethan Brooks’s heart, and his mental world froze.

“You, the young sect master of Yunlai Sword Sect, are the only bloodline of the Yunlai Qin family, aren’t you? Today, his life is in my hands. If you don’t hand over the Yunxiao Sword, don’t blame me for being merciless and wiping out the only bloodline of the Yunlai Qin family!”

“Stop!”

“What are you doing!?”

“Let go of the young sect master!”

At this point, the members of Yunlai Sword Sect finally snapped out of their shock and shouted in unison.

“Hm!?”

A chill flashed across the beautiful face of the white-clad woman. Her sword trembled, and a line of blood spurted from Ethan Brooks’s throat.

“Tianji!”

“Stop!”

Yvonne Brooks and Logan Foster both roared in anger at the same time.

“That was just a small lesson. Next time, my sword won’t stop at a mere tremble.”

Glancing at the blood on Ethan Brooks’s throat, the white-clad woman’s expression remained icy.

As for Ethan Brooks...

He forcefully suppressed the fury and fear in his heart!

His spirit was pushed to the limit in that instant!

But it was useless.

An eighth-level swordsman’s physical abilities were too strong, too fast. Even if he could devise the perfect escape plan in his mind, his actions could never outpace an eighth-level swordsman.

His life and death were entirely in the hands of this white-clad girl!

“Ashley Reed, go get the sword.”

The white-clad girl spoke to the woman beside her, then glanced at Yvonne Brooks and Logan Foster. “You two had better not try anything, or I won’t hesitate to wipe out the Qin family bloodline of Yunlai!”

“Yes, Senior Sister.”

Ashley Reed replied excitedly and headed straight toward the main hall behind Yvonne Brooks, Logan Foster, and the others.

“Stop!”

Logan Foster summoned his remaining strength and shouted, trying to block Ashley Reed.

“Elder Qi!”

At that moment, Ethan Brooks, who was being threatened by the white-clad girl’s sword, suddenly shouted.

Just as Logan Foster was about to step forward, Ethan Brooks’s ninth-level psychic power clearly sensed the fierce killing intent emanating from the white-clad girl before him.

“Tianji!?”

“I am the young sect master of Yunlai Sword Sect! Go, hand over the Yunxiao Sword to them!”

Ethan Brooks said.

Having just regained consciousness, his body was extremely weak, and his mental world was in turmoil, making him look deathly pale and utterly terrified.

“Tianji! Do you know what you’re saying? That’s the Yunxiao Sword! The Yunxiao Sword of our Yunlai Sword Sect, the sect master’s token, and the result of generations of effort from our founding ancestor to Sect Master Gavin Brooks…”

“I know!”

Ethan Brooks took a deep breath. The fury and fear in his mental world surged like a raging tide, making him wish he could give the order to tear the woman threatening his life to pieces!

But it was useless!

Besides the white-clad girl, an eighth-level swordsman, the Xuanling Sect also had a middle-aged man who was a ninth-level swordsman. This lineup was enough to completely destroy the Yunlai Sword Sect, which had fewer than a hundred disciples.

Endure!

He could only endure!
