Chapter 693 – Lava! (1/2)
As soon as Xuan Ming spoke, Yang Ye became very clearly aware that he would definitely die if he didn’t stop hiding!
So, he attacked decisively!
He’d intended to attack Xuan Ming. Unfortunately, there was another Half-Saint standing between him and Xuan Ming. So, he had no other choice but to attack that Half-Saint who was closest to him.
They were Half-Saints, so Yang Ye didn’t hold back at all. He first utilized the Stone of Suppression to suppress them to the Monarch Realm, and then he utilized the Sword Domain and Sword Intent to suppress them further. After that, 7 overlapped Heavenrends that were enhanced by the 3rd stage of Critical Strike and the 1st stage of Lightspeed shot forward.
At this moment, Yang Ye had utilized all his trump cards and hadn’t held back at all!
The 3 of them had instantly noticed him when he suddenly appeared there, and the hairs of that Half-Saint who stood before Yang Ye had instantly stood on end. He’d just started to turn around, but 2 types of invisible pressure smashed down upon him like 2 mountains, and it caused his movement to slow down. It was exactly within this instant that his neck suddenly felt cold….
After that, his figure stiffened on the spot before strands of blood instantly dyed his neck red.
His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. However, all the emotions in his eyes were frozen!
A Half-Saint perished just like that!
“How dare you!” In an instant, Xuan Ming and the other Half-Saint had reacted, and their hearts were filled with shock and rage when they sensed that their companion was dead. They immediately attacked Yang Ye.
Yang Ye had immediately executed Horizon Wrap and shot towards the distance once his surprise attack succeeded, but he was still a little too slow and 2 energy palms had arrived behind him. Fortunately, he’d expected this and placed the Mageforce s.h.i.+eld behind him. However, it was a simultaneous attack from 2 Half-Saints, and it was at such a short distance, so even the Mageforce s.h.i.+eld couldn’t stop it!
Bang! Bang!
The two palms practically instantly collided with the Mageforce s.h.i.+eld, and the powerful impact caused it to smash against Yang Ye’s back. Yang Ye felt like he was struck by a mountain, and a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth. However, the impact of their attack caused his speed to instantly multiply as well!
In just an instant, Yang Ye vanished from their fields of vision, but there was a string of blood on the ground that continued on until the end of their fields of vision….
“Can he be saved!?” Xuan Ming spoke in a low voice.
The old man by Xuan Ming’s side shook his head and said, “His neck has been severed, and 2nd level Heaven Rank Sword Intent is raging about and destroying the vitality within him. How ruthless of that kid!” His voice was filled with shock and rage. He was shocked that Yang Ye was actually able to kill one of them while the 3 of them had joined forces, and he was furious because 3 dignified Half-Saints had actually lost one of their companions at the hands of an ant at the Exalt Realm!
It was a humiliation!
“He’s quite mysterious!” Xuan Ming spoke furiously, “He was hiding behind us, yet we didn’t notice at all. If he wasn’t too close to Third Brother and took us by surprise, then it would be impossible for him to kill Third Brother even if he had the Stone of Suppression and the Sword Domain!”
“Xuan Ming, does our Hallowed Grounds possess such a movement technique that can even deceive Half-Saints?” The old man gazed at Xuan Ming as he asked in a low voice.
Xuan Ming fell silent for a long time before he shook his head and said, “Even Nether Maiden isn’t able to conceal her aura completely. Moreover, he disappeared into thin air just now, and then his right hand suddenly appeared out of thin air as well. I suspect that it isn’t a movement technique at all. As for what it really is, even I don’t know the answer. In short, he’s extremely mysterious, and we have to be careful!”
“He’s injured, and his strength has definitely declined greatly. So, his speed is definitely much slower than before. Let’s pursue him immediately so he doesn’t have the chance to recover!”
As soon as Xuan Ming’s voice resounded, both of them had vanished on the spot.
At this moment, Yang Ye was in quite a terrible state. His draconified back had completely cracked apart, and blood covered his entire back. Moreover, utilizing Heavenrend, the Sword Domain, Critical Strike, Lightspeed, and the Stone of Suppression just now had caused his profound energy to instantly fall to rock bottom!
In short, he was suffering from both internal and external injuries while 2 Half-Saints were chasing after him. The situation was very bad!
At this moment, he didn’t dare to utilize techniques which wasted his profound energy in order to open up a path. Now, he was only relying on his physical strength!
After around half an hour pa.s.sed, the 2 Half-Saints behind him grew closer and closer, and Yang Ye’s brows were knit even more tightly together.
At the same time, Yang Ye felt the temperature around him growing. It wasn’t long before Yang Ye thought of a possibility.
I’m at least 30km beneath the ground, and the temperature is growing higher. In other words, there mind be lava ahead. I have the Nether Ghostflame with me, so I don’t have to fear it at all. I just have to enter the lava and I can open up a path without wasting any profound energy. Moreover, the natural barrier created by the lava might help me shake them off! Yang Ye didn’t hesitate to utilize the last remaining profound energy in his body to suddenly speed up.
Around 10 minutes later, the temperature was still growing higher to the point that even his body felt quite hot. However, he didn’t stop and even started moving faster.
