Chapter 677 – An Nanjing Joins The Battle! (1/2)

360 skeletons appeared behind Yang Ye, and then the violet mink and Lei Lin appeared by his side as well. He didn’t waste his breath at all before a beam of violet sword energy immediately surged from the ancient sheath. It tore a huge gash through the air as it smashed against one of the Gold Guards at the front, and the Gold Guard instantly transformed into a ray of gold light that was blasted flying!

It was an attack that carried 3 overlapped Heavenrends and the 2nd stage of the Critical Strike technique!

Yang Ye stomped the ground with his right foot and charged into the group of Gold Guards. Meanwhile, the 360 skeletons followed closely behind him.

The violet mink slapped Lei Lin on the head before pointing at the Gold Guards in the distance. Lei Lin nodded in response, and then she clapped her hands together, causing a bolt of lightning to surge forward….

Yang Ye was immediately surrounded upon charging into the group of Gold Guards, and countless swords had struck him in an instant. Fortunately, his physical defenses were simply abnormal, and he’d forcefully resisted all of these attacks.

At the same time, the Sword Ruler in his hand smashed down swiftly towards the Gold Guards. However, Yang Ye was surprised to notice that the Gold Guards were actually able to resist it!

These Gold Guards are stronger than the 2 from before!Who exactly is this Grand Preceptor? Why does he possess so many terrifying puppets? How could they have lost to the Grand Qin Empire and the six great sects of the southern territory if they possessed so many of these puppets?

A string of questions flashed through Yang Ye’s mind!

Yang Ye shook his head and discarded these distracting thoughts as a wisp of ferocity flashed through his eyes. He flipped his right hand, and the Sword Ruler was replaced by the intent sword. Next, he sheathed it before swiftly drawing it once more!

Hiss!

A crescent of violet sword energy swept forward, and over a dozen Gold Guards in the front of the group were instantly blasted into two. Moreover, even the Gold Guards behind them were blasted over 100m away from the aftershock!

It was an attack that contained 5 overlapped Heavenrends and the 2nd stage of the Critical Strike technique!

Yang Ye flipped his left hand and a few dozen extreme-grade energy stones had appeared within his grasp. Meanwhile, another beam of violet sword energy shot forward, and over a dozen more Gold Guards in its path were slashed into half!

Yin Xuan’er’s expression changed when she witnessed this scene, and she said, “His sword energy is a few times stronger than before!”

“They’re overlapped!” The grey robed man spoke in a low voice, “Moreover, he enhanced them with a secret technique from the Hallowed Grounds. That’s why it was able to break through the Gold Guards’ armor with such ease!”

Yin Xuan’er pondered deeply for a while and said, “Grand Preceptor, is it really worth for us to make such a sacrifice for the Exalted Han Empire?”

The grey robed man said, “It isn’t. But we have no other choice because even the entire continent might face destruction if the Exalted Han Empire disregards everything in order to bring him down with them!”

“It’s that severe?” Yin Xuan’er was astounded.

“It’s much more than that!” The grey robed man sighed softly and said, “Yang Ye isn’t aware of the reason. Of course, with his character, he probably wouldn’t spare them even if he were. All those years ago, the Sword Sect’s Founding Ancestor had almost annihilated the Exalted Han Empire. The reason it survived wasn’t entirely because the Hallowed Grounds had stepped forward to lend it a hand. The Unfettered One wasn’t afraid of the Hallowed Grounds all those years ago, he feared the royal family of the Exalted Han Empire!”

“Is it capable of summoning a Saint Realm expert just like the Flower Palace had?” asked Yin Xuan’er.

The grey robed man shook his head, “It’s impossible for Saint Realm experts to descend into this world any longer. However, there are existences that are even more terrifying than Saint Realm experts hidden on Profounder Continent and the Hallowed Grounds!”

Bang!

Right at this moment, over a dozen more Gold Guards were blasted apart by a ray of violet sword energy.

Yang Ye couldn’t execute overlapped Heavenrends without limits. However, while he couldn’t execute it without limits, the extreme-grade energy stones allowed him to execute it again after a short interval. Because energy was ceaselessly surging into his body and being transformed into profound energy!

However, the situation was quite bad for Yang Ye!

Because the skeletons weren’t a match for those Gold Guards at all, and cracks had actually started to appear on many of them!

Yang Ye took a deep breath when he noticed this, and then his gaze locked onto the grey robed man in the distance. He didn’t hesitate to sweep away the Gold Guards in front of him, and then immediately executed Horizon Warp. His figure instantly appeared before the grey robed man.

However, a Super Gold Guard that was at least 1.5 times larger than the Gold Guards behind him had appeared before him!

After that, a huge saber that was even larger than Yang Ye slashed down forcefully towards him!

Yang Ye’s expression changed a little. It was too late to dodge, so he immediately raised his intent sword to block it!

Bang!

A m.u.f.fled bang resounded as the cracks instantly covered the intent sword in his hand. Moreover, Yang Ye’s legs were actually hammered into the ground by the force of this attack. Besides that, traces of blood had started to seep out from between the dragon scales on Yang Ye’s right hand….
