Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 719 - 713: Scheming Villain

Ye Xuan’s expression shifted as he too followed Zuo Lingyun over.

After a mere dozen minutes, they saw several disciples of the Heavenly Martial Holy Land on a hill ahead, with Yu Tiancheng leading them.

Lying on the ground were several corpses with tragic expressions, all of whom were also disciples of the Heavenly Martial Holy Land.

"What happened?"

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Zuo Lingyun asked with a solemn face.

"There’s an ancient serpent nearby; we inadvertently disturbed the creature while gathering herbs. As a result, these few junior brothers fell victim to its venom," replied Yu Tiancheng, painting a vivid picture of the encounter with the ancient serpent, a hint of dread seemingly lingering in his heart. freeweɓnovel~cѳm

"Is that so? Where is the ancient serpent now?"

Zuo Lingyun’s brow furrowed; the ancient serpent, like the Tree-man King, should be a very rare creature, but she was unsure of its strength.

"I tracked it a bit, I know its general location. The beast was wounded by my sword earlier; if we join forces, we can surely kill it and avenge our fallen brothers," Yu Tiancheng declared with righteous indignation.

"In that case, lead the way. However, we must split the points earned from slaying the serpent fairly," Zuo Lingyun said.

"No problem."

Yu Tiancheng nodded, quickly agreeing, but as he turned to lead the way, a sinister smile flashed across his face, which he quickly concealed.

"Ye Xuan, what’s wrong?"

Seeing that Ye Xuan had stayed put, Zuo Lingyun asked with some surprise.

"Nothing, let’s go."

Ye Xuan smiled and shook his head, but once Zuo Lingyun walked away, the smile immediately faded from his face.

Without a doubt, he felt something was off about Yu Tiancheng. But even so, Ye Xuan followed him, unafraid even if there were a conspiracy.

Whoosh whoosh!

Through the dense forest, silhouettes dashed rapidly, then stopped in a pockmarked basin. The air was humid, and a layer of miasma seemed to linger in the atmosphere.

"The beast’s lair is just ahead."

Yu Tiancheng pointed to the area shrouded in miasma, which was vague and difficult to discern.

"Let’s talk inside."

Zuo Lingyun’s gaze sharpened, observing the miasma where there seemed indeed to be several holes, likely the serpent’s den.

The group entered the basin cautiously, stepping lightly, vigilant not to stir up sudden incidents.

When the group reached the center of the basin, Yu Tiancheng and several other Heavenly Martial Holy Land disciples began to slow down, gradually distancing themselves from Ye Xuan and another.

"Yu Tiancheng, what are you doing?"

Stopping in her tracks, Zuo Lingyun suddenly turned around, her expression darkening.

"Heh, I’m doing nothing much, just thinking of borrowing your points for a bit," sneered Yu Tiancheng as his malicious true face was finally fully revealed.

"Dammit!"

Zuo Lingyun realized she had fallen into a trap and immediately shouted in a deep voice, "Did you make up that stuff about the ancient primordial serpent just to lure the two of us here?"

"Haha, that’s right, pity you discovered it too late!"

Yu Tiancheng laughed heartily and then, with a wave of his hand, the uneven basin suddenly trembled. In a moment, several astonishing pillars of light shot up into the sky, complex beams lashing out everywhere, surrounding Ye Xuan and Zuo Lingyun with an array that took form.

"Brothers, get into formation and prepare!"

Yu Tiancheng looked at Ye Xuan and Zuo Lingyun, who were within the array, with a grin, his gaze resembling that of someone looking at fish caught in a jar.

"Yu Tiancheng! You’re digging your own grave, dispel the array now, and we can let bygones be bygones!" Zuo Lingyun’s pretty face darkened, not expecting him to be so daring as to move against them now, let alone use such despicable tactics.

"Let bygones be bygones? Do I look like a fool?"

Yu Tiancheng smirked coldly, "Dead people are the safest! As long as I kill you two, no one will know a thing, and I can take the points on you, amassing a great number of points in the blink of an eye."

"You think your crappy array can kill the two of us?"

While Yu Tiancheng was laughing, Ye Xuan merely glanced at the array before replying with a nonchalant laugh.

"Shut up!"

As soon as Ye Xuan spoke, he was met with a roar from Yu Tiancheng, whose face twisted with grim ferocity and eyes flickered with murderous intent, "You whelp, what merits do you have, relying on your **** luck, you obtained the ancient sage’s inheritance, and even won a beauty’s favor. Today, I will completely erase you and take everything that’s yours."

After that, a twisted smile surfaced on Yu Tiancheng’s face.

"A nice thought, but unfortunately, you overestimate your abilities."

Ye Xuan stood still, simply shaking his head with a smile. The next moment, his figure vanished, and when he reappeared, he had already bypassed the array, closing the distance to just over ten meters in front of Yu Tiancheng.

"How can this be, stop him!"

Yu Tiancheng’s complexion turned drastically; he could have never imagined Ye Xuan would so brazenly ignore the binding power of the array. He yelled, and three disciples from the Heavenly Martial Holy Land rushed toward Ye Xuan, while Yu Tiancheng channeled True Yuan into the array, attempting to trap Ye Xuan.

Whoosh!

The three Heavenly Martial Holy Land disciples meant to stop Ye Xuan, but his body, like a streak of light and shadow, weaved through their blockade at an indescribable speed, and before they could react, his slender palm had already gently pressed against each of their chests.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

All three were sent flying, instantly knocked unconscious.

Yu Tiancheng watched as Ye Xuan appeared in front of him like a ghost, his pupils shrinking in utter shock. Ye Xuan’s strength was terrifying; even he began to feel intimidated in the face of his opponent, totally suppressed by Ye Xuan.

"Great Slaughter Origin Hand!"

Seeing the situation going south, Yu Tiancheng retreated and thrust out his palm, striking with a ruthless hand seal that slammed towards Ye Xuan.

"Dragon Vein Earth Soar Kill!"

Ye Xuan threw a direct punch, within which he harnessed the power of the Earth Emperor Book, drawing from the strength of the earth’s dragon veins, and harshly swept it out.

Boom!

A thunderous sound echoed, and a powerful shockwave spread out in a ring, flattening the dense forest within a thousand feet area.

As the forest collapsed, a disheveled figure shot out backward, then looked in horror at the lean young man not far across from him. He, a pinnacle First Grade Martial Saint, had actually been defeated by Ye Xuan in a direct confrontation—and defeated so miserably.
