Chapter 749 – Meeting The Young Girl Again! (1/2)

Man Yuan had started following their group since the moment they left the Ancient City of Hallows, but he didn’t act impatiently because Nether Maiden was there. He hadn’t acted within Nameless City just now because there were too many people watching, and Nether Maiden would definitely be alarmed if he couldn’t finish Yang Ye with one blow.

So, he had no choice but to wait bitterly for an opportunity. Fortunately, he didn’t have to wait for long.

“Yang Man, do you know what these flags are?” He felt that victory was within his grasps, so he wasn’t impatient to act, and he started explaining instead, “These are barrier flags. So long as there are sufficient extreme-grade energy stones to power them, then not to mention an ordinary Half-Saint, it can even trap a mid-grade Half-Saint. So, it’s impossible for you to escape today!”

“A mid-grade Half-Saint?” Yang Ye who was about to attack instantly stopped himself, and then he frowned as he asked, “Half-Saints are divided into grades?”

At this moment, Man Yuan was clearly in a good mood, so he explained, “They weren’t. But there are no Saints on Profounder Continent while Half-Saints are the strongest, and there are differences in strength between Half-Saints. So, our ancestors divided themselves into 3 grades. The initial-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade.”

“What grade is the patriarch of the Fire Spirit Race at?” asked Yang Ye.

“The Fire Spirit Race’s patriarch can barely be considered a mid-grade Half-Saint,” said Man Yuan.

He’s barely a mid-grade Half-Saint!? Yang Ye frowned slightly. If the patriarch of the Fire Spirit Race is only barely a mid-grade Half-Saint, then Elder Mu and Lu Yan can only be considered to be mid-grade Half-Saints. If there’s a difference between them, then it’s because Elder Mu and Lu Yan are true mid-grade Half-Saints and not barely able to be considered as being at such a grade.But it’s very likely that high-grade Half-Saints exist in the Hallowed Grounds!

“Alright, are you going to take your own life, or should I do it for you?” Man Yuan spoke abruptly, “Don’t bother trying to beg for your life because you have to die no matter what. Not only do you have to die, I’ll even be hanging your corpse outside the Ancient City of Hallows once I’ve finished studying the secrets of your body. Only then will I be able to show the world what the consequences of insulting my Man Clan are!”

Yang Ye suddenly said, “Are you really sure that it’s impossible for the outside world to know about anything that occurs here?”

Man Yuan laughed coldly and said, “You can forget about seeking help from Nether Maiden. So long as they are provided with sufficient energy stones, then these barrier flags can even trap mid-grade Half-Saints, let alone a tiny Monarch Realm profounder.”

“Great!” Yang Ye nodded, and then the Stone of Suppression appeared in his grasp. An invisible force instantly appeared in the room, and then Man Yuan was instantaneously suppressed to the ninth rank of the Monarch Realm. At the same time, a black robed old man suddenly appeared by Yang Ye’s side. The black robed old man was Guardian Lin from the Fire Spirit Race, and he was the only Half-Saint Sword Servant which Yang Ye possessed right now!

This sudden change of events utterly stunned Man Yuan.

After all, his cultivation had suddenly dropped to the Monarch Realm while another Half-Saint had suddenly appeared in the room. Moreover, the aura of that Half-Saint even surpa.s.sed his own.

“How… how could this be possible? How could this be possible?” Man Yuan seemed to have lost his soul as he gazed at Yang Ye. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed drastically as he cried out involuntarily, “You… you’re Yang Ye! You’re that Yang Ye who annihilated the Fire Spirit Race! You….”

Man Yuan intended to remove the barrier while he spoke as he was prepared to flee. What sort of existence was Yang Ye? He was one who’d killed numerous elders of the Hallowed Halls and even destroyed the Fire Spirit Race! Even though Yang Ye was only at the Monarch Realm, Man Yuan was very clearly aware that it was absolutely impossible for him to kill Yang Ye on his own. It was even to the extent that his life was in danger. Especially because there was another Half-Saint here, and he was only at the Monarch Realm now!

So, he’d decisively chosen to retreat. Because Yang Ye would definitely die if he could escape!

Unfortunately, it was still too late!

First, the Half-Saint Sword Servant utilized its aura to forcefully restrain him on the spot, causing his speed to become extremely slow. After that, a ray of light that was swift to the limit flashed by. It was swift to the point it was practically impossible to see, and if a hole hadn’t been pierced open on Man Yuan’s stomach, they one might even think that the ray of light hadn’t even existed.

Even though such speed could pose a threat to him while he was at the Half-Saint Realm, it wasn’t sufficient to kill him. However, his cultivation had been suppressed and Yang Ye was even a.s.sisted by a Half-Saint.

So, Man Yuan wasn’t able to counterattack at all.

Man Yuan was dead. He’d died from a single swing of Yang Ye’s sword.

Yang Ye walked over to Man Yuan, waved his right hand, and then placed Man Yuan’s corpse within the Primordial PaG.o.da. Even though the Sword Spirit wasn’t able to refine Sword Servants for him right now, he could because she’d given him the method before she fell into deep sleep.

Another Half-Saint Sword Servant!

“Master, I feel that I’m on the verge of advancing in my cultivation!” Meanwhile, Guardian Lin spoke abruptly.

“Advancing?” Yang Ye was slightly stunned and said, “Are you sure?”

Guardian Lin said, “To tell Master the truth, I was at the peak of the initial-grade of the Half-Saint Realm. But I wasn’t able to obtain any fortuitous encounters throughout these years and have been stuck at the initial-grade. However, there’s abundant energy within Master’s paG.o.da, and I even sense that the spirit energy there is slightly unusual. In any case, I really yearn to obtain even more of that type of spirit energy. I’ve been ceaselessly absorbing it and cultivating lately, and then I noticed that I was on the verge of advancement!”

It’s because of the Primordial Violet Energy!

When he heard Guardian Lin, Yang Ye instantly realized that while there was a pitiably tiny amount of true Primordial Violet Energy within the Primordial PaG.o.da, the spirit energy within the paG.o.da wasn’t something that the spirit energy of the outside world could compare to. Moreover, while there wasn’t much true Primordial Violet Energy in there, there was still some. So long as Guardian Lin absorbed just a little bit, then even that tiny bit would be a huge fortune to him!

Guardian Lin’s advancement was a good thing to Yang Ye, a very good thing!

So long as Guardian Lin broke through and became a mid-grade Half-Saint, then Guardian Lin would still have a chance even in battle with Half-Saints like the patriarch of the Fire Spirit Race! Moreover, if he had a mid-grade Half-Saint Sword Servant, then his chances of succeeding at rescuing the Sword Spirit would definitely grow much greater. In short, there would be numerous benefits from Guardian Lin’s advancement into the mid-grade of the Half-Saint Realm!

“How long will it take?” asked Yang Ye.
