Chapter 723 – Driven Into A Corner! (1/2)
The red haired old man floated in midair while the Grand Elder and Qian Yan stood before him.
At this moment, Qian Yan’s left arm was gone, and the cut on his shoulder was flat like a mirror while blood was still dripping down from it. There wasn’t that much rage and resentment on his face anymore because it was mostly replaced by fear and terror.
“He has gotten stronger!” The Grand Elder spoke in a low voice, “Moreover, he has that mysterious woman and 2 Half-Saint Realm puppets by his side. Qian Yan might have died if I was just a little later.”
The old man glanced at Qian Yan and said, “With the Stone of Suppression in his possession, a few Half-Saints aren’t a threat to him at all. Give up on pursuing him for now and order all the members of our race to return. You two start patrolling with Tong Fen instead and don’t give him any chances to slaughter anyone else while we wait for the four Guardians to return.” When he spoke up to this point, he looked towards the distance and said, “Let me see how he annihilated my Fire Spirit Race!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man’s figure exploded apart, and then countless strands of flames shot towards the sky like fireworks before they surged off in all directions.
“Divine Flame Clones!” The Grand Elder’s expression changed slightly as he said, “According to rumor, the Divine Flame Clone technique can be used to split one’s consciousness into a myriad of strands of divine flames. Every single strand of divine flame is like a clone, and every single clone has half the strength of the main body. I never expected that the Patriarch would have actually cultivated it successfully. But half his strength….”
“So long as any one of the Patriarch’s clones locate him, then the Patriarch would be able to instantly combine all the clones!” Qian Yan spoke abruptly in a low voice, “He’ll definitely die if he’s found!”
“Have you ever regretted it?” The Grand Elder spoke abruptly. After all, if Qian Yan had been able to slightly restrain himself and not bully the weak, then perhaps all of this wouldn’t have occurred.
“I do! I regret I didn’t kill him right away!”
…
“What a pity!” Yang Ye shook his head within one of the volcanoes on Inferno Mountain Range. Earlier, he’d almost killed Qian Yan, but the Grand Elder had rushed over and forced him to retreat immediately. Because once he was locked in battle and the red haired old man was allowed to rush over, then it might be he who died in the end.
The Sword Spirit who stood beside him was just about to say something when her expression suddenly changed, and she shouted, “Hide!”
Yang Ye was slightly stunned, and then he didn’t hesitate to issue a command in his heart and hide in the Primordial PaG.o.da with the Sword Spirit.
Right after they’d just entered the Primordial PaG.o.da, over a dozen strands of flames suddenly entered the volcano, and they circled around the area before they left.
Yang Ye and the Sword Spirit left the Primordial PaG.o.da once those flames left.
“What was that?” Yang Ye frowned.
She pondered deeply for a moment before she answered him, “It should be a clone technique. You would definitely die if you were noticed just now. Because he would definitely be able to arrive here in an instant once they detect your presence. You’re absolutely not a match for him now, even if you include me and the other 3 Half-Saint Sword Servants. He’s just like your master. He isn’t an ordinary Half-Saint at all!”
“He’s very strong indeed!” Yang Ye spoke in a low voice. He had no doubt that even if the red haired old man wasn’t as strong as Elder Mu, the old man was absolutely not much weaker than Elder Mu. In any case, the old man was absolutely not someone he could fight right now.
“What do you intend to do right now?” asked the Sword Spirit.
“Cultivate!” At this moment, Yang Ye understood that while his strength wasn’t bad, it was still too weak when he faced a true living fossil. Moreover, the area outside would definitely be heavily guarded, so it wouldn’t be suitable for him to head over and kill again.
She said in response, “I’ll guide you!”
Yang Ye glanced at her and was slightly stunned.
She asked, “Am I not qualified enough?”
Yang Ye shook his head, “You absolutely surpa.s.s me if it’s in terms of attainments in the Sword Dao. I’m naturally exceedingly happy that you’re willing to provide me with guidance!”
The Sword Spirit said, “Your strongest sword technique is Heavenrend. If you go all out, you should be able to instantly overlap 12 Heavenrends. 12 Heavenrends enhanced by the Critical Strike Technique and Lightspeed would definitely be able to instantly annihilate Monarch Realm experts, and it could even instantly kill ninth rank Monarch Realm experts. If we include the Stone of Suppression, there’s practically no one beneath the Half-Saint Realm who can kill you!”
When she spoke up to this point, she paused for a moment before she continued, “However, practically all your enemies are Half-Saints now, and your Heavenrend is quite insufficient against them. Even if you utilize the Stone of Suppression, a Half-Saint that has been suppressed to the Monarch Realm would still maintain their combat instinct and grasp the Laws. You’ve killed 2 Half-Saints. But ask yourself if you are confident in your chances of winning in a fair fight!”
Yang Ye thought for a moment, and then he shook his head. Chi Huo had almost escaped even when he joined forces with a Half-Saint Sword Servant that day. If it was a one on one battle, then it would mostly end with his loss. Even if he relied on his Sword Intent and physical body to avoid defeat, he would be absolutely incapable of harming Chi Huo!
The Sword Spirit continued, “Unfortunately, I would be able to let you know about the true way to utilize the Sword Domain if I’m able to truly recover my memories. If that happens, then you would absolutely be able to protect yourself even if you can’t defeat that red haired old man. As for the other Half-Saints, you would definitely possess the ability to kill them even in a head-on battle!”
