# Chapter 1477: Bloodbath on the Ancient Path
Bloodbath on the Ancient Human Path—since ancient times, how many people dared to say such words? Ye Fan's words were resounding, striking the ground with force, shocking the entire city.
There had been those who shattered the ancient path—one was named Green Emperor. There had been those who refined an entire domain—one was named Wu Shi. There had been those who annihilated dozens of clans with a flick of the finger—she was called the Ruthless One. There had been those...
Every such shocking madman either turned to dust or became a Great Emperor, demonstrating their transcendent talents and potential.
Now, Ye Fan was also enraged, wanting to launch a great purge, splashing blood across the ancient human path, making people's hearts pound, feeling a chill seeping into their bones, their hearts growing cold.
Qi Tian's expression shifted between overcast and uncertain, extremely ugly. As a human Dao Protector, being involved in such matters was utterly disgraceful.
Four Great Sages had sealed the city to kill a Saint King, yet this was the result—not only shameful, but potentially tragic.
Pang Bo shouted, "Qi Tian, you have no respect for your age! Do you have any sense of shame? As a human Dao Protector, who are you protecting? Colluding with foreign races, harming the elites of your own kind, committing such heinous acts—if we don't kill you, heaven and earth won't allow it!"
Qi Tian's face turned iron-gray, even uglier. As a Great Sage, standing in the sacred domain for so many years, how many dared speak to him like this? Yet today, he experienced every humiliation.
His eyes opened and closed, a cold light appearing. He realized today might bring more misfortune than good, and immediately lunged toward Pang Bo, Ji Ziyue, and the others, trying to capture them.
Clang!
Ye Fan shook his sword. A bright light flew up, blazing and intense, like a sun streaking across the sky, trailing a long tail of light, dazzling beyond compare.
Qi Tian let out a great cry, doing his utmost to dodge. Though his body blurred, nearly disintegrating, a wisp of killing intent still grazed his back foot. His body immediately shook violently.
With a soft puff, his lower half exploded, turning into meat paste and blood mist. Though only grazed, this was an Imperial Artifact with immense divine power.
Qi Tian flew sideways, blood dripping, his eyes cold. Shock, anger, shame, annoyance—all kinds of negative emotions surged up. As a Great Sage, being humiliated like a scarecrow being chopped down...
He couldn't help but roar, but what could it change? It was useless.
"Sacred Body, don't go too far. You haven't grown into a Great Sage yet; it's still too early for you to claim supremacy." Qi Tian wiped the blood from his lips and re-formed his body.
In the distance, Ji Ziyue sighed, "What right do you have to say such things? Going too far? Who can compare to you? Have you forgotten your identity? Human Dao Protector—compared to what you've done, what a bitter irony!"
Ye Fan's expression was cold. What more was there to say now? He opened his Source Heaven Eye, his gaze blazing. He fiercely swung his sword, slashing toward the man in the distance carrying a large gourd—the one who had arrived earlier to cheer on Silver Blood Great Sage and Liu Feng's family.
He had long noticed that this man bore some resemblance to Qi Tian. Though he hadn't acted, there was hostility.
At this moment, his sword fell like a divine mountain from the ancient Heavenly Court, smashing directly onto that person. No resistance was possible. With a splat, flesh and blood splattered, bones turned to ash. In an instant, both form and spirit were destroyed, leaving only a cloud of blood mist dispersing.
"Ah, you!" Qi Tian screamed, shocked and furious. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body trembling.
This was indeed one of his descendants, one he valued greatly. To be chopped into pieces without a sound made his heart bleed.
"Always watching others' suffering—how does it feel when it's your turn?" Ye Fan murmured, his voice not loud, but it drove Qi Tian into a rage. He pointed at Ye Fan, unable to speak.
"As a Great Sage on the Ancient Human Path, to reach this point is to have taken the path of a human Dao Protector to its dead end. Killing you ten times, a hundred times would still be deserved." Ji Haoyue said, even when speaking to a Great Sage, there was authority.
Crack!
At that moment, the last human city emitted cracking sounds. Various array patterns emerged, shooting into the sky. It was about to split apart.
Qi Tian had thrown caution to the wind, wanting to destroy this city and drag Ye Fan and the others down with him. Since he couldn't break it open quickly, he fully activated the city's core array patterns, triggering the "Jade and Stone Together Burn" ancient prohibition.
As a human Dao Protector, he naturally knew much about the final checkpoint. Once the Dragon Locking Gate fell, this place would become a trapped situation—even gods would find it hard to reopen.
However, there was a secret ancient array in the city. Once activated, it could change everything, but at the cost of nothing remaining—everything would turn to dust together with the city.
Boom!
The Primordial Qi Cauldron above Ye Fan's head rumbled, rapidly expanding, instantly covering the city. He shouted, "Anyone who doesn't want to die, enter the cauldron quickly! I'll save you!"
There were so many residents in the city. Ye Fan channeled his power, and all who didn't resist were instantly sucked into the cauldron, protected inside.
Chi!
He himself struck downward with force. The long sword was like a rainbow, angrily slashing at the last human city. With a great rumbling sound, the Imperial Artifact displayed its power—even gods couldn't stop it.
There was no suspense. This ancient city was split open. Even the strongest defenses couldn't stop it. With a rumble, it turned to dust.
The ancient arrays in the city hadn't even fully destroyed the place before Ye Fan split it open. The "Jade and Stone Together Burn" array patterns of the final checkpoint weren't even this fast.
Chi!
The first to rush out was none other than Qi Tian. The moment the ancient city split apart, he was the first to flee. His so-called desire to die together was half-truth, half-bluff—clearly with the flavor of intimidation, creating an opportunity for himself to escape.
A cold smile curled at the corner of Ye Fan's mouth. He took a deep breath, controlled the Imperial Artifact, and first pointed at Silver Blood Great Sage, not immediately going after Qi Tian.
This was a terrifying killing light. Almost instantly, Silver Blood Great Sage was chopped and exploded, leaving only half a body flying sideways. His primordial spirit directly escaped.
Ye Fan controlled the sword light, gently tracing forward. Silver Blood Great Sage screamed. His primordial spirit was drawn over. On the dark red sword body, ancient patterns glowed.
The scene of slaughtering immortals appeared. This primordial spirit became a prisoner, sinking into those patterns, imprisoned on the sword body.
Silver Blood Great Sage wailed. This was the most infamous killing sword since ancient times. Being sealed inside was like torture in a purgatory—more terrifying than descending into the underworld.
He screamed heart-rendingly, but soon fell unconscious, becoming a small dot within a cage carving on the dark red sword body, completely unaware.
The cauldron above Ye Fan's head tipped over, and everyone was poured out. He didn't pause for a moment, wrapping Ji Ziyue, Pang Bo, and the others, controlling the Imperial Artifact as he rushed out.
This was a dazzling sword light, cutting through the universe, traversing the entire sky. In an instant, it caught up to Qi Tian, scaring him so much his soul nearly fled. He fled desperately.
However, no matter how his power reached heaven, no matter how he tore through the void to cross space, it was useless. A wisp of sword energy had locked onto him back in the city. Now it transformed into immortal light, cutting through the void, following like a shadow.
"The human Sacred Body has rebelled! Quickly inform all Dao Protectors, bring the Imperial Weapons, suppress this beast!" Qi Tian roared, using all his strength to flee.
As a human Dao Protector, he naturally had a Divine Light Platform, allowing him to quickly arrive at other ancient cities. He fled desperately, roaring, hoping someone would step forward to stop Ye Fan.
"Old bastard, still slinging mud before death—utterly shameless!" Pang Bo cursed loudly, simultaneously decapitating the enforcer in his hand.
This was the enforcer who had appeared with Liu Mingde, who had fought Pang Bo and been suppressed. Now he was directly executed—keeping him was useless.
"Fellow daoists, the Sacred Body has rebelled, defected to the foreign races, wants to kill all elite experts on the Ancient Human Path. Quickly act, join forces to resist!" Qi Tian roared, fleeing desperately.
"This old bastard is too shameless. Colluding with foreign races himself, yet turning the blame around—truly a despicable wretch." The Dragon Horse felt inferior—this old thing had no lower limit.
The Ten Saints and others were all furious, wishing they could immediately pounce and kill him. They had never seen such a despicable and immoral person, wanting to punch him to bits.
At this point, Qi Tian cared about nothing. As long as he could survive, even slandering a Great Emperor was fine—he didn't care about any damage or not.
"Ye Zi, give him a sword. Just split him alive. Otherwise, this despicable old thing might say anything." Pang Bo suggested.
Ye Fan's expression was very calm. "I want to give him a chance to escape. Just follow slowly."
"You... really want to bloodbath the ancient path, lure out all those snakes and rats?" Pang Bo instantly understood what he wanted to do, his expression turning serious.
"That's right. Those who have connections with him will probably try to stop us. Let's see where he flees, and kill our way through." Ji Ziyue nodded.
Qi Tian fled, passing through three cities, causing an uproar. A Great Sage being hunted by the human Sacred Body like a dog being chased—truly shocking.
"The human Sacred Body has rebelled, become a traitor to humanity, colluding with foreign race giants. Everyone, quickly send word, mobilize the Imperial Weapons, inform all Dao Protectors!" Qi Tian roared like a madman.
However, the effect was minimal. Almost no one came forward to help.
In fact, who would believe Ye Fan had rebelled against the Ancient Human Path? He had completed his training, reached the final checkpoint—how could he rebel? Without even thinking, everyone knew what was going on. Qi Tian and the human Sacred Body had a grudge—everyone on this path knew it.
But after passing several cities, someone really did step forward, rushing into the sky, shouting from afar: "Senior Qi Tian is virtuous and respected, an elder worthy of our respect. Perhaps there's some misunderstanding with Daoist Ye, leading to this discord. Can we stop first and talk things out?"
The response was just a sword strike. A beam of immortal light swept across. He directly exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist, both form and spirit destroyed.
Everyone drew in cold breaths, all realizing something, revealing looks of horror. They thought to themselves that Qi Tian's lineage was about to face great calamity.
Qi Tian ran ahead, not caring about what was behind. He tore through the void, using the Divine Light Platform to cross to the next city.
"Daoist Ye, how can this be? Everything can be discussed. Qi Tian he..." Another ancient city, another person came out to stop, advising kindly, defending Qi Tian.
Puff!
A flash of blood light passed. He turned into a pool of blood.
This was a bloody path!
By the time Qi Tian realized it, he gritted his teeth and spat blood, but he couldn't care about that much. Friends and old acquaintances stepping forward could at least buy him some time, even if the cost was heavy.
Those ahead didn't know. Those behind, in the cities passed, spread the news, revealing the truth. An uproar erupted.
"Qi Tian is too shameless! Scum!"
"Clearly colluding with foreign races himself, yet throwing mud first. Serves him right to be hunted by the human Sacred Body with an Imperial Artifact."
"That Ye-named Sacred Body is doing it deliberately. He wants to bloodbath the ancient path, kill everyone involved clean!"
That day, the Ancient Human Path shook greatly. Blood splattered. The heavens boiled. Ye Fan hunted the human Great Sage Qi Tian, shaking the entire starry sky, killing many people.
This truly was a bloodbath on this path!
