Chapter 532: Chapter 526: Tian Guizhang’s Determination

Whoosh!

A hundred-zhang-long Sword Light suddenly flew out from behind Tian Guizhang, slashing downwards like lightning. In the instant it slashed, the Sword Light even bizarrely bent in its trajectory.

The Spirit-binding Rope charging toward Ye Zhen under the control of Hall Master Duan was instantly severed, and not only that, but the ground was also split with a crevice tens of meters deep, causing a nearby five-story tavern to start swaying.

"Hall Master Duan, if you want to deal with someone from our Sun and Moon Divine Sect, you should at least ask me first," sneered Tian Guizhang as he clashed with Duan Yingnian.

"Hmph, Vice Sect Master Tian, there’s never been anyone we, the Longevity Sect, wanted to kill that could be protected by others!"

"What are you all dazed for? Get him for me, we must capture this Ye Zhen alive!" Duan Yingnian roared angrily.

In an instant, the thirteen Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists who had come with Duan Yingnian surged forward and rushed toward Ye Zhen.

Watching the Longevity Sect Martial Artists surge up, a Talisman Light suddenly flew out of Tian Guizhang’s hand, striking like lightning toward the east of the city, while Tian Guizhang’s brief voice rang out.

"Sixty breaths!"

Even though Tian Guizhang only uttered these three words, the meaning was clear to Ye Zhen—it meant he had to hold off these Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists for sixty breaths until reinforcements could arrive.

Being an old adversary of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, Duan Yingnian naturally understood the meaning of these three words as well, but he didn’t get angry. Instead, he laughed.

"Surviving sixty breaths under the siege of fourteen Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists, Old Man Tian, you think he’s some Vein Forging Realm powerhouse...."

Duan Yingnian’s speech cut off abruptly, his voice suddenly stopped, and his expression turned as if he had seen a ghost.

Ahead, Ye Zhen’s figure flashed, and a Guardian Master from the Longevity Sect, as if delivering himself to death, brought his head in front of Ye Zhen, who pierced it with a jade-colored fingertip!

But, this was not the first!

Another Guardian Master at the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm charged in front of Ye Zhen, and somehow, his speed suddenly became incredibly slow, watching helplessly as a jade-colored fingertip penetrated his forehead.

"Hiss!"

There was a collective intake of breath from the surroundings.

This was the bustling area of Qinglan Martial Capital, filled with countless folks coming and going for dining and shopping. The commotion here immediately attracted a crowd of Martial Artists, layer upon layer.

Initially, many people were worried for Ye Zhen, a Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artist at the Fifth Stage being chased by fourteen Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists; his situation seemed almost hopeless.

But to everyone’s surprise, in the blink of an eye, two Guardian Masters from the Longevity Sect had been slain by Ye Zhen.

This scene made Duan Yingnian, who was in the midst of battling Tian Guizhang, cry out in alarm. A call for help in the form of a Talisman Communication shot into the sky.

Similarly, the scene took Tian Guizhang by surprise as well.

He knew that Ye Zhen had a battle record of facing seven opponents alone, and the intelligence was extremely detailed. According to the information, Ye Zhen had been extremely embarrassed on that day, but even so, this performance was shockingly impressive.

However, witnessing it firsthand today, the ease with which Ye Zhen slayed a strong warrior at the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm was akin to slicing cucumbers and carrots—a speed of killing that could almost match his, a Vein Forging Realm powerhouse.

But, the shocking events for Tian Guizhang and Duan Yingnian were yet to come.

With Ye Zhen seizing the opportunity to slay two Guardian Masters from the Longevity Sect, the remaining twelve Guardian Masters finally managed to surround Ye Zhen in an encirclement. Various attacks, like a torrential downpour, bombarded Ye Zhen, completely covering the spot where he stood with dazzling brilliance.

Several li away, the onlooking Martial Artists all showed colors of hidden worries. This worry is human nature. Everyone is naturally inclined to sympathize with the underdog.

At this moment, Ye Zhen was viewed as the bullied and weaker party in their eyes.

"Hey, I told you to catch him alive, this person is related to the whereabouts of Sect Leader Yang...." Seeing over a dozen attacks covering him, Duan Yingnian cried out anxiously.

But before his words could land, his expression froze again.

A streak of Chi Light escaped from the dazzling brilliance and instantly landed behind a Guardian Master from the Longevity Sect. A Golden Sword Light emitting extremely mysterious fluctuations chopped down.

What shocked Duan Yingnian even more was that the Golden Sword Light contained a trace of extremely faint, thin power fluctuations that made his heart palpitate.

The Killing Move of Sword Heart Enlightenment—Heart Sword!

Pff!

The dense Protective Spirit Force was like paper in front of this Golden Sword Light, and even the meticulously cultivated Acquired Spiritual Body, in front of this Golden Sword Light, was like an ordinary mortal’s body, cleaving both flesh and Protective Spirit Force in two!

The next instant, Ye Zhen’s figure flashed, directly pouncing toward another highly spirited Guardian Master from the Longevity Sect on the left.

"Yuan Yi, be careful!"

Seeing this, Duan Yingnian, who was distracted and scrambler to respond to Tian Guizhang’s attacks, yelled out urgently.

He could not help but be anxious.

The deaths of a few other Guardian Masters did not distress him too much—after all, in the True Spirit Domain, the most numerous Martial Artists were just that, and Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists were quite common.

However, a martial artist who is very likely to break through to the Vein Forging Realm is extremely precious.

Yuan Yi would definitely succeed in Vein Forging within two or three years. Duan Yingnian always considered him his confidant and valued him greatly, so he was extremely anxious at this time.

But no matter how loud the roar, it couldn’t change the situation!

Although Yuan Yi was quite exceptional, facing Ye Zhen’s Heart Sword Killing Move, he used all his tricks but still couldn’t catch it, let alone dodge it. The golden sword light hung like a shadow in front of Yuan Yi’s chest.

Puff!

Under the Heart Sword’s golden sword light, Yuan Yi was once again split in two by Ye Zhen!

The only difference from the previous Guardian Master who died under the Heart Sword was that the previous one was slain instantly, while Yuan Yi struggled for a breath before being split in two!

With Yuan Yi killed, Duan Yingnian felt as if he had been struck by lightning. If it weren’t for Tian Guizhang also being intimidated by Ye Zhen’s power, scattering his attention, Duan Yingnian might have suffered greatly at the hands of Tian Guizhang today.

However, the followers of the Longevity Sect are famously fearless of death.

With a shout, taking advantage of this moment, the remaining ten Longevity Sect Guardian Masters once again surrounded him.

But this time, Ye Zhen did not give them a chance to attack.

A swath of silver brilliance silently exploded from under Ye Zhen’s feet, drastically increasing his speed, almost ghost-like as he moved among the remaining ten followers of the Longevity Sect.

Even more eerie was that wherever Ye Zhen went, the Longevity Sect Guardian Masters lost their ability to either advance or retreat, either slowing down or suddenly falling forward.

All this, however, was the effect of the geomagnetic field. After several bouts of fighting, Ye Zhen had mastered the two different forces of the geomagnetic field, repulsion and attraction, which always timed the Longevity Sect Guardian Masters perfectly within his striking range.

And Ye Zhen himself moved swiftly or slowly as he pleased, easily dodging every attack from the Longevity Sect Guardian Masters, like a butterfly piercing through flowers, either pointing or using the Heart Sword. Each strike claimed the life of a Guardian Master from the Longevity Sect!

The scene was as if Ye Zhen was not fighting against a dozen highly skilled Soul Sea Realm martial artists but against a flock of livestock awaiting slaughter.

The surrounding martial artists were completely dumbfounded.

They had seen powerful martial artists, but never one as extraordinary as this.

A cultivation at the Fifth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, slaying a dozen martial artists of the same rank was already monstrous. Killing one or two martial artist at the Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm was genius.

But the person in front of them was slaying martial artists at the Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm as easily as slicing through vegetables.

Duan Yingnian and Tian Guizhang were so stunned by this scene that they paused their fight momentarily.

When Duan Yingnian, with blood-red eyes, roared and intended to rush forward to stop the slaughter, Tian Guizhang finally snapped out of it and once again firmly blocked Duan Yingnian.

"Ye Zhen, you dare to kill people from my Longevity Sect, you’re dead for sure! Dead for sure, no one can protect you!" Duan Yingnian furiously fought with Tian Guizhang while he roared his threats at Ye Zhen, his gaze seeming to devour Ye Zhen alive.

The fourteen people present were a third of the core members of Zhuque Hall under Duan’s command.

"I’ve heard that line before in Xining Martial City!"

While responding, Ye Zhen didn’t slow his movements. With a stroke of the Heart Sword, another Longevity Sect Guardian Master was slain.

Conveniently, a Three Treasures Returning Spirit Pill from Yang Zhengxi was immediately consumed by Ye Zhen, turning into surging spiritual power rushing towards Ye Zhen’s Dantian.

The Heart Sword Killing Move with Sword Heart Enlightenment was powerful but the drawback was its great consumption. After four consecutive strikes, the spiritual power in Ye Zhen’s Dantian was nearly depleted, which was why he seldom used it.

As the ninth Longevity Sect Guardian Master fell to Ye Zhen’s sword, the remaining Guardian Masters completely collapsed.

No matter how fearless of death, there was a limit to everything; everyone fears death.

Issuing terrified shouts, they scattered and fled, no longer possessing even the courage to attack Ye Zhen.

Almost simultaneously, dozens of meteoric lights rose from the east and south, rapidly approaching here.

The speed of those lights was extremely fast, almost reaching the extremity, each one like a meteor chasing the moon. Initially just a speck of light, within a split second it faintly took on human forms.

The overwhelming Vein Forging Realm auras of forty or fifty people surged simultaneously, causing the surrounding martial artists to scatter in chaos like chickens and dogs, keeping their distance far away.

If the Vein Forging Realm powerhouses were to start a melee battle, these people had no role other than to serve as cannon fodder.

The two factions of the Longevity Sect and the Sun and Moon Divine Sect nearly arrived simultaneously, each with twenty-some streaks of light. It should be said that the martial artists from the Sun and Moon Divine Sect arrived a fraction of a breath earlier, but just a fraction. Then, the twenty Vein Forging Realm martial artists from both sides watched dumbfoundedly.

They saw five martial artists at the Fourth and Fifth Stages of the Soul Sea Realm being chased and scurrying for their lives by a single martial artist at the Fifth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, with cries and howls of despair. On the ground, blood flowed like rivers, and corpses were everywhere.

"Kill, kill Ye Zhen for me!"

"Spare no expense in protecting Ye Zhen!"

Almost simultaneously, Duan Yingnian and Tian Guizhang’s roars rang out, especially Tian Guizhang’s voice, which was unprecedentedly firm! (To be continued.
