Chapter 167: Brother Kun No Longer Low-Profile (6)

The Silver Ancient Steed erupted with a powerful chill, instantly freezing everything around it, starting with the steed itself.

Then came Brother Ant and Sister Spider.

"Child, do not let our sacrifice be in vain," the Ancient Spirit Tree uttered its final wish.

The Green Root Heart stopped beating, wrapped in a thick layer of ice.

Watching the encroaching frost, Ye Kun leaped abruptly. When he landed, his feet met solid ice, and the entire subterranean abyss was firmly reinforced.

Gazing at the ice sculptures of Little Steed, Sister Spider, and Brother Ant before him, Ye Kun felt a heavy heart. He vividly recalled Little Steed rolling on the ground, being teased by Sister Spider, and Brother Ant skillfully enlivening the atmosphere.

Yet now, they had turned into giant ice sculptures. In this hollow abyss, no laughter or other sounds would ever be heard again.

Ye Kun did not rush to leave. He sat upon the ice, staring at the four massive ice sculptures before him.

Are demons always evil? Are humans always good?

Perhaps someone will know the answer in the future.

Touching the ring on his index finger, Ye Kun slowly removed it, then gave it a flick with his thumb.

With a crisp clink!

The ring traced a beautiful arc as it plummeted downwards.

Ye Kun turned his head away, refusing to look. After all, it was a divine sword! And he was just throwing it away like this...

Bro Kun had to ask: did this action of flicking away a divine sword count as an invisible display of supreme coolness? It was a pity no one saw it, otherwise, they would have been utterly shaken by his gesture.

After all, this was a genuine divine sword.

And Bro Kun said if he didn't want it, he simply discarded it.

Just as Bro Kun felt a pang of regret in his heart, he suddenly felt something unusual on his index finger. He looked down!

The ring he had just flicked away had reappeared.

Damn it!

You couldn't even shake it off?

Well, this wasn't what Bro Kun wanted; the divine sword was simply a bit too clingy, leaving Bro Kun with no choice but to wear it helplessly, ready to pull it out later just to show off—treating it like his own father.

Look at Bro Kun's smug expression. Just a moment ago, he had almost failed to resist running down to pick it back up.

How thoroughly satisfying.

He cupped his fists toward the four ice sculptures and said in a deep voice, "Four seniors, you have toiled your entire lives, it is time to rest. Leave the rest to me!"

With that, Ye Kun dashed upward, quickly locating the original opening. Although it was blocked, he now had the right tool for the job.

Ye Kun squatted down, rubbed the Fire Cloud Scorching Heaven into action, and pointed it at the collapsed barrier.

Puff!

A terrifying torrent of flames spewed out directly, instantly turning the blocking rocks into dust.

Back at the wellhead, the crowd was still trying to figure out a solution. Ye Shaolong was inspecting the opening, occasionally stomping on it with his foot to pack it down tightly and make sure Ye Kun couldn't get out!

Yet this time, his stomping led to an accident!

The moment Ye Shaolong lifted his foot, he saw a burst of scorching heat blooming from deep within the wellhead, and red flames could be faintly seen.

Boom!

Blazing flames suddenly erupted from the wellhead, scorching Ye Shaolong's foot right off—!

"Shaolong!" Ye Zhao was the first to react, charging forward and pulling Ye Shaolong aside, barely saving his life!

Even so, the searing heat practically destroyed Ye Shaolong's facial features!

Moralist Dao gazed at the pillar of fire shooting into the sky in sheer disbelief! Pei Qian was no different!

"This is the might of a divine sword!" Ye Ming was too familiar with the aura of a divine sword to mistake it.

Dongmen Meng was equally astonished.

The soaring flames dyed the entire firmament red, and everyone in Anakang Prefecture stared at the spectacle. What on earth was happening?!

Among the thousands of people, one person knew what this was!

Fire Cloud Scorching Heaven!

That damn Ancient Spirit Tree!

Suddenly, the crowd pointed toward the flame-colored sky, where an object could be faintly seen moving rapidly!

Awoo!

A dragon's roar resonated across the earth!

A fire dragon emerged from the clouds, looking down upon the world with a terrifying aura.

The people of Ankang Prefecture were stunned, dropping to their knees in worship toward the divine dragon.

Awoo!

The dragon roared once more, plunging downward!

Mid-dive, it actually transformed into a sword!

Suddenly, a figure wreathed in fire burst forth and grabbed the fiery sword in one swift motion!

The darkness was dispelled by the blazing flames, illuminating the entire Ankang Prefecture.

"Kun-kun..."

"Husband..."

"Big Brother..."

"YE KUN!!!!!!"

Others might not have clearly seen the person amidst the fire, but everyone gathered around the wellhead saw it completely!

The fire-man who had shot out in a burst of flames was none other than Ye Kun!

At this moment, Ye Kun stood in mid-air holding the Fire Cloud Scorching Heaven, while everyone in Ankang Prefecture knelt in kowtow, not daring to lift their heads!

Dongmen Meng nudged the deeply shocked Ye Ming: "Look at Kun-kun, he's the spitting image of you."

"What do you mean, he's showing off? His cultivation is far too shallow; this is pure showing off. Young people simply can't hold back," Ye Ming said, curling his lips, though he couldn't help marveling—Kun-kun just made a single jump and actually leaped out with a divine sword!

Dongmen Meng said in a low voice, "Divine swords are better used sparingly."

"Indeed," Ye Ming agreed with Dongmen Meng's view.

Ye Qin looked up at his older brother, who resembled a heavenly deity, feeling both shocked and genuinely happy for him. When would he ever get a divine sword of his own?

Ye Li and Yan Mu'er stared at the little bald head, completely forgetting their plans to mess with Bro Kun, their eyes filled with utter adoration.

Especially Yan Mu'er: "Husband is so handsome, too handsome! I can't take it anymore~"

Ye Li was used to seeing her father show off, but that display of the fire dragon descending from the heavens just now, paired with the dragon's roar, definitely had style.

It was one thing for her dad to love showing off, but now even her husband had taken up the habit. Why did all men love this sort of thing so much... it was exasperating.

Still, the little bald head was quite handsome—definitely more handsome than her dad, heh~

If her father found out, he would surely have to compare notes with Bro Kun.

Ye Zhao cradled his unconscious son, a vicious glint in his eyes: Ye Kun! Ye Ming! You father and son have gone too far, bullying and injuring my son!

You shall die a wretched death!

Moralist Dao let out a breath. This was going to be an even more troublesome affair; Ye Ming already possessed one, and now Ye Kun had acquired one as well!

This was going to be a complete reshuffling of the deck.

Batai's expression turned exceptionally grave, his brow furrowed tightly as he lost himself in thought.

Ji Wenshan, on the other hand, was delighted. Good thing he had sided with Ye Kun—look at the guy, he even had two divine swords.

Pei Qian glanced at Ye Kun, swept his hands behind his back, and walked away.

Guan Qing, however, did not leave, simply staring up at Ye Kun.

As for why Ye Kun, who had always kept a low profile, suddenly broke character and changed his style—

Only Bro Kun knew that.

Ye Kun slowly descended, then subconsciously extinguished the flames.

Everyone around was dumbfounded... Goodness...

Especially Ye Li and Yan Mu'er, who felt so exasperated! So exasperated!

Everyone else thought they were living in bliss, but there was no such thing between her husband and her!

Ye Kun seemed to realize it as well, hurriedly covering up and catching the resentful little glares from his wives—imagining them getting jealous over this...

There was nothing for it. Who told Bro Kun to be so abundantly endowed?

"Big Brother, quickly put this on." Ye Qin handed his outer robe to Ye Kun.

Ye Kun flashed a mischievous grin at his younger brother, eliciting an eye-roll from Ye Qin: "You nearly worried us to death."
