Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 727 - 721: World-Shocking Battle

"Turn swords into plowshares? A laugh erases all enmity?"

Huo Yuan laughed in fury, taking a deep breath, clearly unable to suppress the anger in his heart, "You expect me to turn swords into plowshares after this kid killed Junior Brother Zhai?"

"What, Zhai Tian is dead?"

Yin Meng was momentarily stunned, then quickly glanced at the headless body on the ground, disbelief thick in her beautiful eyes. Was this body Zhai Tian?

"Ye Xuan, did you do this?"

Yin Meng looked at Ye Xuan with incredulity. Zhai Tian was a highly skilled fighter, ranked twenty-ninth on the Holy List, someone she couldn’t even handle. Could Ye Xuan actually have had the power to kill him?

"Of course not. I’m not capable of such a thing."

Ye Xuan’s answer made Qin Wuyan and the others pause. Wasn’t it clear that Ye Xuan had killed the man? They had seen it with their own eyes, could they be mistaken? Of course, no one would say it out loud. They weren’t fools either.

"I just happened to be passing by here, and found a dead body lying here. Then Brother Huo Yuan accused me of being the killer. I’m truly innocent."

Ye Xuan said as if it was none of his concern.

"I see."

Yin Meng nodded, her pretty face becoming serious, "If you were the killer, I would not tolerate it, but if someone is trying to frame you, we will not stand for that either."

"Damn it, kid, you’re actually denying it?"

Huo Yuan’s expression changed. He didn’t expect Ye Xuan to outright deny the accusation. Furious to the point of almost spitting blood, he turned to the others behind him and said coldly, "Everyone saw what happened. Zhai Tian died by this kid’s hands. Yin Meng, are you intending to protect and harbor a murderer?"

"Who said everyone saw it? We didn’t see Ye Xuan kill him, only your Emperor Xi Sect people did. ’Where there’s a will to condemn, there’s always a charge to lay’. Isn’t that right, everyone?"

At that moment, Duanmu Yu walked out from the crowd, smiling amiably.

"That’s right, we didn’t see anything."

"With Brother Ye’s character, he’s certainly not the type that would kill wantonly."

Qin Wuyan and others also defended Ye Xuan one after another. Even though they were blatantly lying, these people from Emperor Xi Sect were despicable, and had it not been for Ye Xuan’s arrival, they probably would’ve fallen to Zhai Tian’s hand.

"Did you hear that, Huo Yuan? With just your side of the story, you’re trying to frame me. You should go back and investigate properly, see who actually killed your Junior Brother Zhai."

Ye Xuan said noncommittally.

"Fine, very well, you think by denying it, I can’t do anything to you?"

Huo Yuan was irate, his whole body surging with True Yuan, brilliant light gathering at his fists, and then he suddenly looked up, his entire figure bathed in a golden glow, as if he had transformed into an ancient battle god.

"This is bad, Huo Yuan is about to get serious."

Yin Meng’s pretty face grew somber. It wasn’t that she didn’t suspect Ye Xuan, but even if he was the killer, so what? She owed Ye Xuan a debt and there was no way she could stand by and do nothing.

"Everyone, please step back. Leave this man to Senior Sister Yin Meng and me."

Huo Yuan was immensely powerful, and though others, like Zuo Lingyun, also possessed the Cultivation of a Martial Saint, they paled in comparison to Huo Yuan. It was uncertain if they could even help, and they might even lose their lives instead.

"This Huo Yuan practices Emperor Xi Sect’s supreme Cultivation Technique, the Ancient Emperor Battle God Skill, endowed with the aura of ancient emperors, no ordinary feat to contend with. Brother Ye, we must give it our all to stand a chance against him."

Yin Meng gave Ye Xuan a heads-up.

"The Ancient Emperor Battle God Skill?"

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. The aura of the ancient emperors sounded incredibly formidable, but it was unclear how it compared to his Hidden Dragon Skill.

How did the aura of the ancient emperors compare to that of the Dragon God?

Ye Xuan’s mouth curved into a slight smile, and then behind him, the atmosphere churned, and the sky and earth dimmed. An enormous dragon shadow, tens of thousands of feet in size, appeared vaguely into view. Although intangible, the terrifying pressure it exuded indeed surpassed that emanating from Huo Yuan.

"The Ancient Emperor Battle God Skill is being suppressed!"

Yin Meng gasped in surprise. Was the cultivation technique practiced by Ye Xuan of even higher grade than the Ancient Emperor Battle God Skill?

"This kid really has kept his cards close to the chest!"

Huo Yuan was also secretly shocked. He realized that Ye Xuan was becoming increasingly difficult to deal with, which further cemented his belief that if he didn’t eliminate Ye Xuan now, he might never be able to contend with him in the future.

He must seize this opportunity, or else a great menace would surely brew.

With a glint of coldness in his eyes, Huo Yuan propped up a colossal golden orb of light. His gaze locked onto Ye Xuan. At this moment, he seemed to transform into an ancient war god, radiating terrifying pressure.

Huo Yuan’s cultivation was at the peak of a Second Grade Martial Saint, but it was already very close to the level of a Third Grade Martial Saint.

"This man is difficult; if I don’t give it my all, he will likely be tough to deal with."

Ye Xuan was well aware in his heart that Huo Yuan was not someone Zhai Tian could be compared with. If he didn’t go all out, even if he and Yin Meng joined forces, the odds of success wouldn’t be great.

Clasping his hand, Ye Xuan began to draw upon the power of the Earth Emperor Book. A layer of cyan light continuously flowed from the Qiankun Ring, and behind Ye Xuan in the void, streams of energy surged, the ground trembled, and one after another, lifelike and mighty Dragon Shadows condensed behind him.

"Nightmare Light Song."

Yin Meng took out a jade flute from the Qiankun Ring and began to play. The sound of the flute, along with her unique True Yuan, quickly permeated the void, forming a large array composed of music and True Yuan.

"Mere parlour tricks."

A surge of chill flowed over Huo Yuan’s face, "To stop me, you two are not qualified!"

As his words fell, the golden orb, resembling a miniature sun, thunderously plummeted down. Where it passed, space itself twisted and cracked, creating spatial fissures that enveloped both Ye Xuan.

Bang!

The golden orb smashed against the musical array, emitting a deafening collision sound, and the next moment, the musical array collapsed, revealing dense cracks and breaking apart.

The orb, like a meteor, continued to hurtle towards Ye Xuan.

"Go!"

At this moment, Ye Xuan’s expression remained as calm as still water, immensely composed. He merely waved his hand, and all the massive Dragon Shadows in the void behind him burst forth. There were at least a hundred, and such a terrifying number of Dragon Shadows collided mightily with that golden orb. Instantly, the entire sky was completely covered by cyan and gold hues, as if split in two!

In the moment of collision, a storm of destruction swept away. The people below directly felt the violent wind strike them head-on, and trees were uprooted, while Demon Beasts scattered in a panic.

Such a commotion from their exchange was indeed shocking.

"Blocked it?"

Huo Yuan watched the soon-to-be tranquil sky, his eyes brimming with shock. His assault, had it actually been outright stopped by Ye Xuan?!
