Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 726 - 720: Killing Strike

"Martial God, your ultimate move is merely this."

Having broken Ye Xuan’s Rain Sword Formation, Zhai Tian’s face lit up with joy as he regained his earlier arrogance.

He thought that this was Ye Xuan’s strongest move, yet alas, even so, he had managed to decipher it.

"Is that so?"

However, Ye Xuan himself remained expressionless. He clenched his palm, and a boundless, unparalleled True Yuan surged out. The shattered Sword Array began to operate again, and the hole that Zhai Tian had broken was gradually sewn together.

"Impossible, how can this kid’s True Yuan be so robust?"

Zhai Tian’s face showed utter disbelief. Such a Sword Array required vast amounts of True Yuan to power, and with Ye Xuan’s First Grade Martial Saint’s cultivation, he should have been able to deploy it only once. Yet now, Ye Xuan was capable of repairing it, which was utterly inconceivable.

He didn’t know that Ye Xuan possessed the Earth Emperor Book, which meant that even if his True Yuan was severely depleted in a short time, it could still be replenished through the Earth Emperor Book.

Caught within the Rain Sword Formation, Zhai Tian grew increasingly alarmed and powerless as he fought. No matter how he attacked Ye Xuan, he couldn’t pose a threat. Conversely, Ye Xuan’s casual strike could leave a sword mark on his body, and it was only thanks to his Holy-grade armor’s defense that he could minimize the damage.

"Dammit!"

Zhai Tian flew into a rage, his surging True Yuan bombarded Ye Xuan, intending to suppress him with higher cultivation.

"Sword Control Technique!"

Ye Xuan’s blue robes fluttered, and with a vertical slash, the sword light that flew out tore through the True Yuan and struck Zhai Tian’s body, blood splattering everywhere.

"Bastard! Ancient Emperor Soul-shocking Wave!"

Bathed in blood, Zhai Tian finally unleashed his strongest ultimate move. At that moment, the ancient character on his brow shone to its utmost limit. Behind him, suddenly, a towering phantom appeared. This phantom was overbearingly dominant, imposingly tyrannical. As space vibrated and warped, the warp distorted the trajectory of Ye Xuan’s sword while the sonic waves imbued with will rushed through Ye Xuan’s body.

In that instant, Ye Xuan’s soul was tumultuous. He felt the space around him cracking, warping grotesquely. The sonic wave that entered his body then tried to tear apart his soul.

"Haha! Die!"

Seeing Ye Xuan’s sword trajectory affected and diverted, Zhai Tian laughed heartily. He leaped and clawed out, his claw strength capable of piercing through metal and splitting stone, terrifyingly powerful.

"You’re the one who’s going to die."

Strangely, space ripples formed around Ye Xuan’s location, like an illusion. Ye Xuan adjusted his sword trajectory to target Zhai Tian’s opening, thrusting a killing blow into Zhai Tian’s throat.

"Ugh!"

Zhai Tian’s voice ceased abruptly, with his eyes widening in shock.

"Senior Brother Zhai Tian!"

Those disciples from the Emperor Xi Sect were utterly dumbstruck. They stared at the scene before them, faces filled with disbelief.

"You... you dare to kill me?"

Zhai Tian clutched at his neck, his voice hoarse. Ye Xuan’s sword, which seemed to have merely pierced his throat, had in fact allowed the powerful Sword Qi to follow the wound, extinguishing his life force, crushing his internal organs into dust, and inflicting a fatal injury.

"Why wouldn’t I dare?"

There was no fluctuation in Ye Xuan’s eyes as he withdrew the Rain Saint Sword with a "putz," blood spurting out as he stepped back three paces.

As the head dropped to the ground, Zhai Tian still wasn’t entirely dead. He glared at Ye Xuan with a face full of resentment. "Bastard, you’re doomed. Emperor Xi Sect won’t let you off; even if you flee to the ends of the earth, it’s a dead end for you, you..."

Crack!

He hadn’t finished speaking when his head was blown to pieces by a burst of Sword Qi released by Ye Xuan.

"You’re truly a noisy fellow."

Ye Xuan sneered coldly. Zhai Tian must have been blindly arrogant, probably never believing he would see the day when he would fall at Ye Xuan’s hand.

Qin Wuyan and Duanmu Yu also couldn’t help but feel a chill run down their spines. Ranked twenty-ninth on the Holy List, Zhai Tian was killed by Ye Xuan just like that—a genius of the Central Domain, no less. They hadn’t expected him to fall so cleanly by Ye Xuan’s hand.

Having killed Zhai Tian, Ye Xuan also gained three thousand points from his body, and his score thus rose to over eight thousand.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of rushing wind from not far away, and figures broke through the air, their attire clearly that of the Emperor Xi Sect.

The person at the forefront was none other than Huo Yuan.

"You actually killed Zhai Tian?"

Huo Yuan looked at the headless corpse on the ground and was stunned for a moment, then his expression quickly darkened.

He had rushed over immediately after receiving Zhai Tian’s call for help, yet despite that, Zhai Tian was still killed—and by Ye Xuan, someone he had not taken seriously.

"One who desires to kill must be prepared to be killed."

Ye Xuan’s face showed no fear. "If Zhai Tian hadn’t harbored a killing intent, he wouldn’t have ended up like this."

"Hmph, it seems we really underestimated you, if even Zhai Tian couldn’t escape from your hands."

Huo Yuan spoke deliberately, pausing between words. Zhai Tian, ranked twenty-ninth on the Holy List, may not have been as strong as him, but the difference in strength wasn’t large. Yet Zhai Tian was killed by Ye Xuan, which was enough to prove that Ye Xuan’s strength was extraordinary—he had hidden his true capabilities well.

"However, do you realize that by doing this, you’ve formed a deadly enmity with my Emperor Xi Sect? Today, there’s no way you’re leaving here alive."

The top genius of the Emperor Xi Sect had been killed in a trial at the Martial God Mountain—a first in history. Huo Yuan’s gaze bore down menacingly on Ye Xuan. If he didn’t take down Ye Xuan today, allowing the young man to grow even further could mean Huo Yuan might not even be his match in the future.

"Bring it on."

A light of battle surfaced in Ye Xuan’s eyes. Huo Yuan’s strength was not something Zhai Tian could compare with; the difference between someone ranked thirteenth and twenty-ninth on the Holy List was significant.

"Courting death!"

The murderous intent in Huo Yuan’s eyes was fierce, as he let loose his majestic and ferocious True Yuan, which transformed into a prehistoric giant wolf hurtling toward Ye Xuan.

"Huo Yuan, you dare so brazenly attempt to kill my Junior Brother Ye in broad daylight, as if there’s no one from the Heavenly Martial Holy Land?"

A woman in white appeared in midair, drawing her sword to slice the prehistoric giant wolf into two, landing before Ye Xuan—it was none other than Senior Sister Yin Meng.

Following Senior Sister Yin Meng, disciple after disciple from the Heavenly Martial Holy Land arrived in succession, including Zuo Lingyun among them, all landing behind Ye Xuan.

Originally, Ye Xuan was alone and outmatched, but with Yin Meng and the others arriving, their show of force had considerably increased.

"Junior Brother Ye, are you alright?"

Yin Meng greeted Ye Xuan upon seeing him.

They had heard the commotion behind them and rushed over with all their might. To their expectations, they found Ye Xuan fighting, and it was against Huo Yuan of the Emperor Xi Sect.

"I’m fine. It just seems like these people from the Emperor Xi Sect won’t rest until they’ve killed me today."

Ye Xuan replied with a light smile.

"Is it really that serious?"

Yin Meng was somewhat surprised, then she turned to look toward the dark-faced Huo Yuan across from her and said aloud, "Huo Yuan, I don’t know what grievance you and Junior Brother Ye Xuan have between you, but he is, after all, a disciple of our Heavenly Martial Holy Land. I ask that you give face to our Heavenly Martial Holy Land, turn hostility into friendship, and let bygones be bygones with a smile."
