Chapter 354: Chapter 351 Save People

"Pathetic."

Seeing Honglian completely collapse, Prince Shen Sha finally broke into a smile and then turned to walk toward the prison.

"Good thing he didn’t notice."

Ye Xuan slowly exhaled, he had just used his soul power to interfere with Prince Shen Sha’s supersonic arrow, allowing Honglian to avoid a fatal hit. This proved that Prince Shen Sha’s cultivation of the soul had not reached beyond the Xuan Realm.

And Honglian, although hit by that arrow, was half an inch away from her heart. Despite the severe injury and damaged heart vessels, it was not fatal.

After Prince Shen Sha had disappeared from sight, Ye Xuan slowly walked out, took a Healing Pill from his Qiankun Ring, and stuffed it into Honglian’s red lips.

After administering the pill to her, Ye Xuan transmitted some True Qi to protect her heart vessels, ensuring that her life was no longer in immediate danger.

"Who are you?"

Slowly waking up, Honglian looked at the ghost-faced man in front of her with surprise. She remembered clearly being hit by Prince Shen Sha’s supersonic arrow. Logically, she should not have survived, yet here she was, alive, which meant someone had saved her.

"Leave this place to me, the mission to rescue Miss Yu Yi is mine."

Ye Xuan did not reveal his identity, but helped Honglian to her feet.

"Alright."

Honglian nodded her head. Suffering from severe injuries, she could no longer be of help anyway. Since this ghost-faced man had saved her, he likely wasn’t an enemy.

Meanwhile, inside the luxurious prison, Miss Yu Yi was attacking the arrays surrounding the prison.

She had witnessed the fight earlier but could not break the surrounding prohibitive arrays, let alone go out and help.

The trapping array in the prison was set up by four Seventh Grade Demon Kings; with her current strength, she simply couldn’t open the array. Each attack she made on the array was repelled, trapping her firmly inside.

"Damn it!"

Miss Yu Yi saw one of the fallen masters and bit her silver teeth in frustration; she recognized his skill as likely being an Elder of the Huoyou Peak, and the other was the Honglian Envoy. She hadn’t expected both of them to be killed by Prince Shen Sha.

Prince Shen Sha’s strength was shockingly formidable, surpassing even the Demon Dragon Young Master.

"With young warriors of the Sea God Palace being this terrifying, if this rescue attempt fails, probably even Lord Huoyou himself will be powerless. Am I really going to die here?"

Miss Yu Yi felt a wave of panic. The fallen Honglian duo must have been sent by Lord Huoyou to rescue her, yet this attempt had now failed, likely diminishing future chances even further.

As for why she was still unharmed up to now, surely the Sea God Palace had its plots, wanting to use her for some benefit. But whether the plan succeeded or failed, her end might not be much better.

Initially accepting just a Silver Level task, she hadn’t expected to encounter such disaster.

As she was lost in thoughts, outside, Prince Shen Sha had already walked in.

"What should I do?"

Seeing Prince Shen Sha’s figure, Miss Yu Yi’s eyebrows knitted tightly. With her strength, she was no match for Prince Shen Sha.

"Miss Yu Yi, don’t be nervous. Although I tend to kill, I never lay hands on beauties. Just obey me willingly later and keep this prince satisfied, and I assure you won’t get hurt." Prince Shen Sha came in; his eyes lit up with a dazzling glint upon seeing Miss Yu Yi in her colorful dress, but that was quickly replaced by a lecherous intent.

Having said that, Prince Shen Sha opened the array, smiling as he walked toward Miss Yu Yi.

"In your dreams!"

Miss Yu Yi’s pretty face darkened. This guy actually harbored such disgusting thoughts. She would rather die than let her body be defiled.

She stepped forward, using her palm as a blade, striking preemptively directly at Prince Shen Sha’s throat.

However, facing Miss Yu Yi’s sudden attack, Prince Shen Sha just stood in place, not moving an inch. He shook his head and smiled, "Miss Yu Yi, why bother? The women I, Prince Shen Sha, desire have never escaped my grasp. You, a supreme genius of Sky Demon Mountain, are still no match for me."

As Miss Yu Yi’s attack approached, only then did Prince Shen Sha boldly strike back. He punched out, and before Miss Yu Yi’s Palm Blade could reach him, it was shattered, and Miss Yu Yi herself was sent flying backward, smashing the stone bed behind her into pieces.

Spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, Miss Yu Yi felt all her blood surging and her internal organs violently shaking.

"How can he be so strong?"

Miss Yu Yi’s delicate face was filled with despair. She had never been defeated so miserably before. The strength of Prince Shen Sha was unprecedentedly powerful.

However, this did not mean that Prince Shen Sha really had an exceptional talent. After all, he was nearly thirty years old. After thirty, one no longer belonged to the younger generation. Yu Yi, only slightly older than Ye Xuan, was just twenty-two. With another five years of cultivation, she might reach the heights of Prince Shen Sha.

"Miss Yu Yi, please don’t force me to get rough. Once I lose my temper, people die. Even if you’re a beauty, you might not be able to bear it. I’m afraid that in a fit of anger, I might kill you, and then I would be the one to regret it."

Prince Shen Sha had a radiant smile on his face. Rubbing his hands together, his gaze hot, he eyed the shapely figure of Yu Yi as if she were a lamb ready for slaughter, completely at his mercy.

Having such a level of beauty beneath him was indeed a delightful thing.

A trace of despair flashed in Yu Yi’s eyes. She took a deep breath and mustered the remaining demonic power inside her body, preparing to fight to the death. She was ready to perish together with her enemy if necessary.

"Foolish."

It seemed Prince Shen Sha knew what Yu Yi was thinking. He scoffed coldly. He had played with too many women. Initially, they all acted like chaste and fiery heroines, but in the end, they became his slaves, clinging to him desperately.

Just as Prince Shen Sha was planning to have a bit of fun, suddenly, he felt a chill on his back. The killing intent ignored the protective demonic power around his body, directly piercing into his soul and causing it to shudder.

"Who?"

Prince Shen Sha’s face suddenly turned pale with shock. However, before he could get an answer, a sword light suddenly appeared in the corner of his eye, slashing across his neck.

The sword strike was exceptionally sudden. Prince Shen Sha’s attention had been on Yu Yi, and with his desires flaring, he had inevitably let his guard down. In just a few seconds of lowered guard, he was subjected to an assassination attempt. The timing of the attack was exquisitely perfect.

What shocked Prince Shen Sha was not this, but the fact that someone had managed to easily appear within ten meters behind him without his notice.

"Phut!"

The sword light passed through, leaving behind a trail of blood. At the critical moment, Prince Shen Sha dodged the fatal strike. The sword light grazed past his shoulder and neck, leaving a bloody wound.

At the wound, flashes of lightning sparkled, the sword Qi exceedingly sharp, repeatedly tearing the wound, charring it black.

"Pity."

Ye Xuan inwardly sighed. His sword strike was impeccably timed and executed under ideal conditions for assassination. Unfortunately, it was still a near miss; a bit more, and he would have killed Prince Shen Sha.

Ye Xuan did not linger for the fight. This was the center of Three Yin Island, a gathering place for experts of the Sea God Palace, clearly not a suitable place for extended combat.

If he attracted the attention of the Sea God Palace’s elders, he could be caught in a siege, making it difficult for even himself to escape.

He rushed to Yu Yi’s side and grabbed her wrist, pulling her to dash out of the prison.

"Want to escape? Over my dead body!"

Having regained his senses, Prince Shen Sha was also furiously enraged. That earlier sword strike had nearly sent him to his grave—a sensation of near-death he hadn’t experienced before. That bastard had to die by his hand.

"Quick, get on my back."

As Ye Xuan felt Prince Shen Sha closing in fast, he didn’t hesitate to hoist Yu Yi onto his back and executed the Taiching Spirit Void Step, fleeing with all his might.

In an instant, Ye Xuan’s speed surged. Even carrying Yu Yi, for a moment, Prince Shen Sha was unable to catch up to them.

"Bastard, quite fast. But let’s see how you’ll run!"

Prince Shen Sha’s expression darkened. This ghost-faced man who appeared suddenly was extremely strange. Not only were his movements strange, his techniques were shockingly elusive. He had never heard of such a person among the enemies.

Drawing his silver longbow, Prince Shen Sha aimed an arrow at Ye Xuan, his gaze ice-cold. With a fierce shot, the arrow targeted Yu Yi’s back.

At this point, he no longer cared for Yu Yi’s life or death. Ye Xuan’s nearly successful attack had enraged him. Both of them had to die.

"Clang!"

As the supersonic arrow zoomed in, nearly reaching Ye Xuan’s back, Ye Xuan suddenly turned around. The Spiritual Edge Sword caught the arrow, perfectly blocking the lightning-fast projectile, but the immense impact was difficult to withstand and forced Ye Xuan back several steps.

"What, he actually managed to deflect my supersonic arrow while turning around?"

Prince Shen Sha’s eyes widened in disbelief, his complexion turning ugly. His supersonic arrows had always been deadly and never missed. If Ye Xuan had blocked the arrow from the front, he wouldn’t have been so surprised. However, Ye Xuan had blocked it while being attacked from behind, which was utterly baffling.

"Thankfully, Prince Shen Sha can only shoot one arrow at a time. Otherwise, even with my quick reaction, I would undoubtedly be doomed."

Against such supersonic powerful arrows, Ye Xuan had few countermeasures, only able to rely on speed to counter brute force. If Prince Shen Sha’s archery had been even more skillful, even he might not have been able to withstand it.
