Chapter 407: Chapter 057: Leading the Saint into the Demon Cave!

Zhou Yan found that faced with such an attack, he actually had no intention of resisting, with a bone-chilling coldness enveloping his entire body.

A wave of coolness almost instantly swept through his body and mind.

This sword, seemingly not powerful, but after being wielded by the light-winged woman, carried an irresistible force.

"Hmm? Actually at the Sword Tribulation Realm, utterly unblockable!"

Zhou Yan instantly reached a conclusion—he had already sensed that these three women had surpassed the Sword Void Nine Transformation Realm, and were very likely Sword Tribulation Realm powerhouses. Therefore, he had deliberately not fled immediately, but was prepared to test whether he had the strength to battle against Sword Tribulation Realm opponents.

But as soon as the opponent made a move, Zhou Yan immediately felt completely helpless, without the slightest chance of withstanding even a single blow. Thus, in that instant, Zhou Yan had no more room for carelessness.

At the thought his ancient blood once again burst forth with terrible power, while Gloomy Sword Intent was directly invoked.

A pervasive sense of gloom, loneliness, decay, and despair fiercely struck the hearts of the three light-winged women, causing all three delicate figures to shudder, and the attack of the leading light-winged woman momentarily faltered.

In that moment, Zhou Yan then fervently invoked the ancient Thunder Sword Intent from within the Thunder Flame Sword Dao.

Thunder Sword Intent—in an instant at the ultimate speed—rushed toward Guardian Qing, that Thunder Sword Intent could instantaneously suppress any powerhouse, leaving them temporarily devoid of all abilities in the blink of an eye. Previously, Zhou Gucheng had used this very method to strip Zhou Yan of his ability to resist.

Now, Zhou Yan also deployed this move.

And this move was far stronger than Zhou Gucheng’s!

But Guardian Qing seemed to have sensed something and suddenly "pfft"—spat out a wisp of white smoke.

This white smoke, like a rolling tidal wave, completely annihilated Zhou Yan’s ancient Thunder Sword Intent and more than that—the wave, along with Guardian Qing’s light saber, simultaneously struck right in front of Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan knew he had no strength at all to battle against such a Sword Tribulation Realm powerhouse. He could not change the rules; indeed, his combat power did not Break Nine.

Therefore, during the critical moment, Zhou Yan suddenly invoked the jade green Soul Suppressing Stone, and then fiercely activated it.

Dividing his attention, if the jade green Soul Suppressing Stone had no effect, he would directly invoke one of his master’s two Fist Intents, shattering everything to escape.

Once the jade green Soul Suppressing Stone was triggered, a burst of green light shot out. The outline of Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City suddenly appeared as a huge grinding disc, spinning rapidly, descending over Zhou Yan, followed by a booming sound—Zhou Yan disappeared from this white light space.

Simultaneously, the spot where Zhou Yan stood was hit by the light saber—the Void instantly "puff"—split and shattered, collapsing upon itself.

"Eh?"

Guardian Qing’s face also changed at this moment, showing a look of surprise.

The two women behind her, Guanghua Shuangbi, also showed startled expressions. Obviously, they could never have imagined that Zhou Yan could actually escape from the restraints of a saint, from the hands of a Sword Tribulation Realm powerhouse—this was utterly unbelievable!

"Not good—he’s breaking through space, burning ancient blood, manifesting Original Dao aura, damn! This will surely alarm the Eight Great Saints!"

Guardian Qing’s face suddenly turned very sullen. This seemingly foolproof task was now botched, and she could already imagine the terrible punishment she would face when confronted by her king—Qian Saint.

"Trash!"

A projection suddenly appeared in the Void, that of a man in white clothes with a cold face like water, having twelve pairs of light wings on his back.

On his forehead, there was a mark of light wings, as though it was the Origin of light.

This light-winged mark actually bore a striking semblance to the aura of the Primordial Magnetic Pole Light.

"King—" Guardian Qing bowed her head, softly calling out.

Her voice was trembling.

"You go suppress the remaining Profound Level geniuses first. If you see one, kill one. I’ve already informed the Bo Yang Double Saints to intercept Saint Yao and Fairy Die. I’m now going with your father and the others to capture the Thunderflame Sword Body. This matter is of utmost importance!"

"Yes, King!"

Guardian Qing’s face showed a shade of embarrassment and she spoke with respect.

After speaking, her face betrayed a hint of hesitation as she said, "King, about... Jiang Yuning’s Life Soul now..."

"That matter, you need not worry. A saint will personally extract her Life Soul. Even if she survives the next life, despite nearly gaining power in this life, it does not change her fate! When that time comes, her Life Soul combined with the Divine Sword Spirit ’Frost Tears’ at the core of the Ten Thousand Ghost Sword Tomb can open the Nine Origin Path, aiding many of us to advance further!"

The cold light-winged man passed on some more information.

Guardian Qing was deeply moved.

"I wouldn’t tell you these things, but considering your father’s face, I won’t hold it against you. However, if you want to become my Daoist couple, do your job well, show your worth. After all, your father can’t protect you forever."

The light-winged man said this, his tone softened slightly, and then suddenly, he looked up into the distance, his face immediately turned even colder: "Damn vermin, to think he could run so fast?!"

As he spoke, his body exploded and shattered, breaking through the Void in an instant, traversing the Void and departing.

Guardian Qing remained frozen on the spot, evidently she too had not expected the small Thunderflame Sword Body, Zhou Yan, to escape Qian Saint’s Soul Consciousness lock on him!

Because only if the Soul Consciousness lock was broken would Qian Saint not linger here but traverse the Void in pursuit.

"This Zhou Yan, huh, is definitely doomed this time!"

"Although he has some potential, he has not yet become a Cultivator of the Life Tribulation Realm, still merely an ant!"

Guanghua Shuangbi said hatefully.

"This matter ends here. Now I will lead you to slay the Prohibition Geniuses here, collect their Spirit, growing strong enough, they are perfect to refine Holy Medicine for the king to feed the Holy Beast."

"Indeed, the King is farsighted and has already laid out this ongoing ’Heavenly Destiny Plan’, allowing countless geniuses to perish here, becoming ’Holy Beast’ food."

"The King appears weakest among the Saints, even had an avatar projection extinguished by the Emperor Qi Sword Body last time, but this is actually showing weakness to the enemy—"

Guanghua Shuangbi said with a sigh. In their eyes, they held deep fanaticism, worship, and awe for Qian Saint.

"Just as they were about to speak, they were interrupted by Guardian Qing,"Do not be nosy, this world, the great powers watching are many, we just need to do our job well!"

"Yes, Guardian Qing!"

The two women immediately nodded in shame.

Green light fled rapidly, and with the law imprints of Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City, Zhou Yan felt like he had this world under his control.

Traveling through heaven and earth, crossing the void, this was indeed a terrifying ability.

This green jade Soul Suppressing Stone was truly a divine object.

"Stop right there!"

Suddenly, when Zhou Yan was still somewhat shocked, the voice originating from Qian Saint, carrying an energy capable of annihilating the void, came killing from afar.

As soon as the sound erupted, an energy capable of destroying heaven and earth immediately burst forth upon Zhou Yan.

"Escape!"

Before Zhou Yan had time to give the order, the voice from Xiong Ba inside the green jade Soul Suppressing Stone immediately resounded.

"Pfft—"

In an instant, the world was pierced millions of times, with just one strike, the region where Zhou Yan had previously been was shattered, and the shattered space manifested a human-sized silhouette of Zhou Yan, identical in size.

Zhou Yan watched with a pounding heart; such was the might of a Saint, truly terrifying.

"Hmm? You managed to dodge my strike?"

Qian Saint’s voice was even more filled with surprise and incredulity, and the next moment, he once again crossed the void, following the derivatives of the green jade Soul Suppressing Stone that Zhou Yan was using.

"Qian Saint, you’re really getting worse if you can’t even handle a junior."

In the midst of the void, a bewitching woman chuckled gleefully.

Her voice was very seductive and endearing, just by speaking, she could make one’s body heat up, involuntarily producing intense desire.

Even with Zhou Yan’s mental state, despite the endless distance, he was nearly lured by that single sentence, causing his blood to rush in excitement.

"This woman, such a terrifying Saint!"

Zhou Yan’s heart chilled, at this moment, the green jade Soul Suppressing Stone kept flashing like a miniature Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City, continuously traversing the void.

And behind him, Qian Saint and that female Saint chatted and laughed occasionally, chasing leisurely.

In a short while, another man in green clothes joined this chase because, during the chase, Zhou Yan listened to Xiong Ba’s transmission and continued to stimulate his Ancient Blood, which had already risen to the sky!

And this male Saint in green clothes was drawn by such a breath of Ancient Blood.

Now, three great Saints were hunting Zhou Yan, if the world were to know this, even if Zhou Yan died, his name would shake the ages.

"Ancient Blood shakes a hundred tribes! This Ancient Blood, I must obtain it, to comprehend its original Secret Technique!"

The male Saint in green clothes had his face full of endless excitement and muttered to himself.

"Ancient Blood shakes a hundred tribes... Life Soul leads a thousand sorrows, isn’t this fulfilling the conditions?!"

Qian Saint was taken aback, his voice full of surprise.

"Yes, it has been fulfilled, so, at any cost, we must suppress this ancient Thunderflame Sword Body!" The male Saint in green garments’ face became somber.

"Right, as Guanghua Saint said, since we have taken action, even if we offend a god asleep within Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain, we must carry on. When the time comes, erase all marks, and they will naturally be oblivious!" The seductive female Saint affirmed.

"Eh? Strange... Yin Saint, use the Great Deduction Technique to calculate whether this little thing has entered the Netherworld Demon Cave."

At this moment, Qian Saint frowned, asking somewhat uncertainly.

"Netherworld Demon Cave? This kid seems to want to put himself in a desperate situation to seek life. However... The Netherworld Demon Cave currently doesn’t possess any great dangers, moreover, we have the support from part of the Netherworld Palace, let’s make our move."

The woman called ’Yin Saint’ deduced slightly, and a cold smile immediately appeared on her face.

"If he could continue to escape with such ability, it would indeed be troublesome, but now he thinks relying on a dangerous place can help him escape, which is a bit too naive."

Guanghua Saint said sarcastically.

"If it weren’t for the soul power of the Netherworld Palace, this would undoubtedly be the best method to escape the predicament. Do not underestimate this Thunderflame Sword Body, I couldn’t catch him earlier because he truly has some ability."

Qian Saint furrowed his eyebrows, he always felt that things may not be that simple.

Before, he let Yin Saint deduce to understand the hidden dangers.

But since Yin Saint didn’t deduce any dangers, he was relieved.

Yet now, both Guanghua Saint and Yin Saint somewhat treated it as a joke, as if a Sword Spirit Realm Prohibition Genius was no different from a normal ant, completely unheeded by them.

This might lead to a loss.

But, Qian Saint did not say these words, although he had such a thought, he also did not believe that an ant could plot against Saints; thus, after Yin Saint spoke, he did not object.

"Even if it’s not simple, it’s just the thorn in the side of ants, I would like to pay attention to him, but without Crossing the Sword Tribulation, no matter how strong, he is just an ant. Alright, we’ve located this kid’s position, let’s go!"

Yin Saint smiled confidently, issuing a wanton laugh, the ’kikiki’ sound extremely pleasant to hear.

But only Guanghua Saint and Qian Saint knew that this was the prelude to Yin Saint about to devour the essence and souls of men, about to get excited.
