Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 708 - 702: Taking Action

Cultivation had reached the level of a Saint, and he had already cultivated a Sacred Body. Thus, his physical resilience as a Martial Venerate Expert should have been several times stronger. Yet, even so, Ling Yu Saint was still pierced through by Ye Xuan’s sword strike, without any suspense.

Although after breaking through to the Saint Realm, the heart was no longer a fatal spot, it remained a vital part of the body. When Ye Xuan’s sword pierced through Ling Yu Saint’s heart, his combat power was immediately greatly diminished.

"Die!"

Ye Xuan’s left hand produced a Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword, and he fiercely slashed out, severing Ling Yu Saint’s head in one fell swoop.

Ah!

The female disciples all screamed out, panic-stricken to the extreme. Such a dignified Saint was actually slain by Ye Xuan so easily.

"Damn it!"

The remaining Sound Saint was also initially stunned, only then did he react. He had never imagined that Ling Yu Saint would be so vulnerable and would die by Ye Xuan’s hand.

Having killed Ling Yu Saint, Ye Xuan’s gaze turned toward the Sound Saint. The latter was next.

Whoosh!

Ye Xuan thrust his sword, and the sword light flashed in mid-air, heading straight for the throat.

Sound Saint’s complexion changed. In order to delay Ye Xuan’s attack, he actually threw out the completely naked woman he was holding in his arms.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan frowned. Although this woman was a disciple of the Daluo Heavenly Palace, her crime did not merit death. Ye Xuan retracted his sword intent and with his left palm, he swept the woman aside.

However, just as Ye Xuan retracted his sword and sent the woman flying, Sound Saint suddenly shot out a Flying Needle, which entered Ye Xuan’s body with lightning speed.

"Ha, fool, you can’t even bear to kill a woman. Now that you’ve been hit by my Soul Devouring Poison, you are undoubtedly going to die!"

Sound Saint grinned sinisterly, revealing a face full of treachery. This was a last resort move he would only use when absolutely necessary. Once struck, there was no antidote.

"Despicable scum. Do you really think you can win like this?"

Ye Xuan, through internal vision, could see strands of black poison slowly spreading toward the depths of his soul. The toxins, like writhing worms, were slowly consuming his soul power.

"Is it not the case?"

Sound Saint’s smile remained unabridged. In his view, there was no doubt that it was over.

With a cold laugh, Ye Xuan secretly activated the Human Emperor’s Scepter. No matter how potent the poison was, it could not hide from the Great Devouring Spirit Array.

Under the operation of the Spirit Array, the so-called Soul Devouring Poison was slowly being restrained, unable to penetrate further, and was even being slowly absorbed and dissipated.

On one hand, he neutralized the threat of the Soul Devouring Poison. On the other hand, Ye Xuan was also calculating. Even though Sound Saint thought he had been poisoned, he didn’t dare to act rashly and appeared very vigilant. Why not take advantage of this and pretend to be truly afflicted by the severe poison?

Although he didn’t think Sound Saint was a match for him, it would be troublesome if the latter escaped, potentially creating future problems.

Ye Xuan deliberately redirected the poison to his face, creating an appearance of darkened complexion as if he had been truly affected by the deadly toxin and was on the brink of death.

"This poison is indeed potent."

Ye Xuan said with a pained expression.

"Haha, naturally, this poison was concocted by a famous Holy-grade Alchemist I commissioned. It cost me a fortune, but now it seems it wasn’t made in vain."

Sound Saint’s pupils constricted, and a smug smile appeared on his face. No matter how astonishing Ye Xuan’s strength was or how defiant against the heavens he might be, in the face of this Soul Devouring Poison, he still had to succumb obediently.

"Kid, on the road to the yellow springs, remember well how you died."

Sound Saint, carried away with pride, had let go of his last trace of vigilance.

"Here comes my chance."

Ye Xuan, having achieved his goal, took advantage of Sound Saint’s complacency. He finally tore off his disguise and immediately struck out with his sword, slashing suddenly at Sound Saint.

"Courting death!"

Knowing that Ye Xuan was poisoned, Sound Saint wasn’t afraid of Ye Xuan’s ambush at all. Instead, he formed a Hand Seal with both hands, stimulated his True Yuan, and met Ye Xuan head-on, intending to capture him.

Ptui!

The sword light was unimaginably fast. Just as Sound Saint finished forming his Hand Seal, the sword light had already flashed past, at a speed beyond belief.

The next moment, the artery in Sound Saint’s neck burst, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

"You weren’t poisoned?!"

Sound Saint was terrified; that sword stroke had nearly decapitated him. Luckily, his reaction was fast, but even so, the sword still managed to slit his throat.

An ordinary person would have died from such a blow, but a Saint wasn’t so frail. Even if their heart was pierced, they wouldn’t die, let alone just having their neck grazed by a sword.

"I can’t take this kid head-on."

Sound Saint hurriedly sealed his neck wound and then his True Yuan surged. It gathered behind him into a pair of True Yuan wings. He flapped these wings and, in a flash, he was out of the great hall.

"You won’t get away."

Ye Xuan locked onto Sound Saint’s presence. Just as the latter conjured his True Yuan wings and fled, dragon wings also emerged behind Ye Xuan, who was only a beat slower. He surged forward explosively, following hot on his heels.

Daluo Heavenly Palace, Martial Arts Square.

A group of Disciples gathered here, some cultivating, some chatting. However, many of them wore grim expressions, occasionally casting glances towards the distant, magnificent great hall, which was none other than the hall where Sound Saint and Ling Yu Saint resided.

"Ever since these two arrived, any slightly attractive female Disciple in the Sect has been sent to serve them. Even my junior sister couldn’t escape their clutches—it’s despicable."

"Shush, keep it down; that’s a Saint you’re talking about. His power reaches the heavens. It’d be terrible if he heard you."

"Let him hear. If things keep going like this, our Sect will eventually fall into the hands of these two beasts. These animals... If I had the power, I would tear them to pieces."

The Disciple was clearly furious, and the others were filled with righteous indignation, though they dared not speak too openly.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Just then, it was as if two shooting stars crossed overhead. Two figures with wings on their backs appeared, one chasing the other swiftly through the sky.

"Look!"

They quickly recognized the figure in front—Sound Saint, but what shocked them was that he seemed like a rat running for its life. And the young man chasing him... he was just about their age.

"How’s that possible? Who is this guy? Chasing Sound Saint?"

The previously speaking Disciple was incredibly shocked. What Ye Xuan was doing was what he had dreamed of doing himself, but he lacked the power. And Ye Xuan seemed overwhelmingly strong.

"I don’t know, but whoever it is, hurry up and kill that scoundrel."

The Disciples of the Daluo Heavenly Palace clenched their teeth in resentment. Sound Saint had defiled so many female Disciples during his time there; they had long since hated him to the core.
