Chapter 539: Chapter 534 2 Saints

"It should end now."

Ye Xuan took a deep breath. To be honest, he was a bit worried just now, but fortunately, Shen Luo was indeed very strong. Even the flow of the Quasi-Saint Artifact by Ling Yu Saint couldn’t prevent his defeat.

"How could this happen?"

The previously surrendered forces led by Chu Kuang and Yang Wei were now becoming somewhat panicked. They had chosen to surrender to save their lives, but now with the defeat of Ling Yu Saint, the situation was likely to change, and these two traitors were probably doomed.

"Kill! Kill these two traitors!"

Someone in the Xuantian Sect shouted loudly.

"Traitors deserve to die, and so do all other invaders!"

The defeat of Ling Yu Saint greatly uplifted the people of the Xuantian Sect. Although the enemies were formidable, they were continually defeated. Now, it was their turn to counterattack.

Tianxing Half-Saint and Half-Saint Black Flame looked solemn, followed by the elders and disciples of the Xuantian Sect, all exuding a murderous aura.

"Lord Ling Yu, what should we do now?"

Faced with the high-spirited people of the Xuantian Sect, Green Lotus Half-Saint and White Dragon Half-Saint also displayed a flicker in their eyes. Although they still had the advantage in numbers, once the Holy Realm Sky Demon from the opposing side made a move, none among them could stand against it. If a fight ensued, it would be dangerous for them.

"Just go back where you came from."

Ye Xuan waved his hand, signaling the people of the Xuantian Sect to calm down for now. In the recent fierce battle, Shen Luo’s power had also been severely depleted. If a fight to the death ensued, victory was not guaranteed.

Upon hearing these words, Ling Yu Saint’s face darkened. Just then, a sudden laugh emerged unexpectedly from behind him.

"Ling Yu, it’s rare to see you in such a sorry state. This trip was worth it."

The crowd parted to reveal a man in a black robe with a hooked nose, a faint mocking smile on his face.

"Sound Saint, are you still in the mood to taunt me? Take this chance to completely eliminate this demon. If she recovers her strength, you won’t stand a chance either, and you won’t be laughing then," Ling Yu Saint said with an ugly expression.

"I am well aware of that. After withstanding a strike from the Heavenly Python Plate, she surely doesn’t have much strength left. Don’t worry, I will tear her apart, extract her demon crystal, and avenge this arrow for you," the man named Sound Saint replied with a twisted smile, looking eerie and sinister.

"Sound Saint, could it be Sound Saint?"

The presence of this hooked-nose middle-aged man had caused a stir among the crowd. Hearing the name Sound Saint, Tianxing Half-Saint frowned and then suddenly looked up, exclaiming.

"Sound Saint? Another Martial Saint?"

Ye Xuan was also taken aback and then a look of surprise appeared on his face. The people of Emperor Xi Sect, to destroy a mere Xuantian Sect, were really sparing no expense. One Martial Saint strong person was not enough; they had sent a second one.

Such a move was truly alarming.

"No need to be surprised. We two are not here specifically to deal with your Xuantian Sect. A mere Sixth Grade Sect is not worth such a major mobilization by our Emperor Xi Sect."

Sound Saint displayed a look of disdain, as if in his eyes, the people of Xuantian Sect were mere ants, not worthy of his involvement.

"Since that is the case, why did you all even come here?"

Ye Xuan’s companion, Fei Yue, couldn’t help but shout harshly.

"It’s not for you, but there is something within the Xuantian Sect that interests us." Sound Saint shifted his gaze to Shen Luo, "Our Emperor Xi Sect has long known that there is a Holy Realm Sky Demon sealed in the back mountain of your sect. Had it not been for the protection of a Seventh Grade Sect behind you, we would have made our move long ago."

"What?"

The people of Xuantian Sect were shocked and turned their eyes towards Shen Luo, realizing that Emperor Xi Sect had geared up for battle because of her.

"So, you are targeting me?"

Shen Luo lifted her eyelids and said indifferently.

"Yes, demon, you are our real purpose for this trip."

Sound Saint smiled, but then his gaze turned sinister as he stared at Ye Xuan, "If it weren’t for this kid releasing the demon, we wouldn’t have needed to exert so much effort. But now the result is the same; only I will make sure you taste the agony of purgatory, you troublemaker."

Ye Xuan ignored Sound Saint’s harsh words; his gaze settled on Shen Luo, "How about it, can you handle this person?"

"It’s a bit difficult. I might just be able to protect myself, but I probably can’t look after the others."

Black blood dripped from Shen Luo’s palm; had it been before, she wouldn’t have feared the opponent, but now, the power of the Heavenly Python Plate had severely injured one of her arms, and the situation was not as effortless as it seemed on the surface.

"Then just protect yourself; don’t worry about the others."

Ye Xuan understood the gravity of the situation. No matter what, Shen Luo could not be defeated; she was not only crucial for the victory of this battle, but she was also the backbone of the Xuantian Sect at the moment. If Shen Luo were defeated and the enemy pressed their attack, they could very well crumble.

"Have you finished your last words? Once you have, you can die."

Sound Saint’s eyes lingered momentarily on Shen Luo’s injured wrist, his face showing a grim smile as he was aware of the power of the Heavenly Python Plate, even a counterfeit was not to be underestimated.

Whoosh!

The sound of breaking wind suddenly arose, and Sound Saint’s figure vanished, seemingly evaporated on the spot.

The next moment, Ye Xuan’s soul power trembled, and he quickly looked behind to see the space there bizarrely twisting. A hand reached out, aiming straight for Ye Xuan’s heart.

Bang!

The hand penetrated Ye Xuan’s body, emerging from the back, but in the next instant, Ye Xuan’s body crumbled, and his real body appeared ten steps away from the original position.

"Hmm? It was a clone?"

Seeing Ye Xuan appear in another location, Sound Saint raised his eyebrows, clearly surprised that Ye Xuan had dodged his strike. After all, Ye Xuan was five realms lower than him.

Ye Xuan remained calm; his soul power was at the level of the Late Stage Heavenly Realm. Facing Sound Saint, he was not entirely without the ability to resist. By reacting in advance and judging early, he used a clone formed from True Yuan to confound his opponent and let his real body avoid the fatal strike.

The reason he used a clone instead of an afterimage was because, with Sound Saint’s power, an afterimage couldn’t deceive his eyes. Only by using a clone was there a chance to confound the opponent for a short time.

All of this was calculated in advance by Ye Xuan, who had to foresee and guard against such a situation. Facing a true Martial Saint Strong Person, even with Shen Luo’s protection, a moment’s carelessness could result in being silently defeated.
