Ye Mengse said, “Oh?”

Ye Se sneered, “Earlier, his momentum was already overwhelming, like a rainbow! At this moment, even someone of my third tier supreme level would need to pay some price to take him down! As for those ninth rank saint level experts, if they went up against him, they would be killed one by one! There would be no survivors.”

“So at this time, we should send people for him to kill! Let him kill to his heart's content! After he finishes killing, if we don't go in, he won't come out, and naturally, he will rest. Once he rests, that sharpness will be gone.”

Ye Se said faintly, “At that time, we will only need a few ninth rank saint level experts to take him down!”

Ye Mengse was somewhat speechless, “Is this really how you think? You're not doing this out of respect for a hero, are you…”

“Hero my foot!” Ye Se said rudely, “Heroes die too quickly!”

Ye Mengse was so furious he couldn't speak, “You just let these people die by his blade to wear down his sharpness… And you clearly know that if you took action, even at some cost, you could easily take him down, but instead, you let a hundred people die in someone else's hands to avoid that small cost?”

Ye Se remained indifferent, “Young Master Ye, here’s my advice to you. Your talent and aptitude are outstanding, but in your Ye family, you are just the third young master, not the eldest young master. This is due to the order of birth, and your youth is a part of it. But more importantly, you lack the temperament of a higher-up!”

Ye Mengse, angry and laughing at the same time, asked, “What is the temperament of a higher-up?”

“The temperament of a higher-up is to be ruthless and decisive. Use what should be used, and abandon what should be abandoned!” Ye Se instructed, “At a critical moment, sacrificing a hundred people, a thousand people, to preserve one person. This person must have the value to be preserved! For example, in this situation, I.”

“I am a supreme third tier. At first glance, a little injury is of no concern to me. But if the enemy is overwhelming at a critical moment, I can retreat. I can relay messages, I can run back and forth, and I can bring back the information the family needs. If I get injured while trying to protect them, then I could be caught along with them! The family would be left in the dark, becoming victims of a wrongful case!”

“A little injury can lead to such a result. It’s completely different!” Ye Se said faintly, “So I would rather sacrifice these hundred lives than use my cultivation level to clash directly with the overwhelming momentum of a blade saint!”

“That is foolish!” Ye Se looked at Ye Mengse and said, “Young Master Ye, your greatest flaw is being overly sentimental and loyal!”

Ye Mengse gritted his teeth. He wanted to curse at him, but for some reason, he lowered his head and began to think.

Is being sentimental and loyal a mistake?

Dong Wushang had finished his killing, leaning on his blade in the center of the courtyard, coldly watching the opposite side.

His heavy breathing had gradually calmed down.

During this time, many people were eager to try and kill this great enemy; they were all stopped by Ye Se.

“At this time, we need him to rest. When he rests and his breathing stabilizes, on the surface it looks like he has recovered from fatigue, but his sharpness will be completely lost!”

“In battles of this level, momentum is crucial!”

After a while, Dong Wushang's breathing finally stabilized; but everyone could clearly feel that the indomitable sharpness that emanated from him had faded somewhat.

Ye Se clasped his hands behind his back, carefully observing Dong Wushang, and said faintly, “All ninth rank saint level experts, attack together to kill Dong Wushang! I will hold the line for you and personally capture Chu Yang and Meng Ge Yin!”

Everyone shouted in unison and charged forward.

Just then, suddenly a change occurred; a blood-soaked figure quietly stood up, appearing behind the crowd, and suddenly struck fiercely!
