Half-step Sword Saint?
Golden Wing and Demon Saint Xuan Gui watched this scene with indifference, their eyes devoid of any emotion.
The love and hatred of the Human Race seemed foolish and laughable to them.
"It's better that they're dead, saves us the noise," Demon Saint Golden Wing sneered.
The Disciples of Nine Heavens Sword Pavilion looked at the corpses of Zhao Feng and the other, feeling a sense of satisfaction, but more than that, a cold despair.
The traitors were punished, but the desperate situation before them had not changed in the slightest.
Demon Saint Xuan Gui's cold gaze swept across the entire scene, finally landing on Elder Mu Yan, who was heavily injured and unable to move, a cruel smile spreading across his face:
"Let's start with you, beautiful Elder. I'm sure that hidden fellow won't just watch you die, will he?"
He acted swiftly, raising his hand. A dark yellow Demonic Qi gathered in his palm, transforming into a phantom claw capable of shattering mountains, slowly reaching towards Mu Yan's head!
Its speed was not fast, clearly a test to see if the person behind the scenes would come out to save her.
"Revered Master!" Xu Nuo cried out in alarm, her serene face instantly losing all color as she instinctively tried to rush forward, even though she knew it was futile.
However, a warm and powerful hand firmly held her arm.
Xu Nuo anxiously turned her head, meeting Chen Yuan's eyes, as deep as a sea of stars.
He gently shook his head at her, offering a reassuring look.
The next moment, Chen Yuan released her hand, took out a Talisman, placed it in her hand, and then stepped forward.
Just as Demon Saint Xuan Gui's deadly claw was about to touch Elder Mu Yan, a figure moved with extreme speed, blocking Mu Yan.
A golden divine rainbow had already condensed in his hand, striking towards the phantom claw.
"Boom!"
An explosion rang out, and Dugu Jiu, who bore the brunt, was sent flying.
In mid-air, Dugu Jiu quickly took out a Medicinal Pill, spat a mouthful of Origin essence blood onto it, and then swallowed it whole.
A surge of immense energy erupted from within him. He immediately stabilized his body, mobilizing the surrounding powerful Origin Qi to block the terrifying aftershocks, and then a golden energy enveloped the surroundings, protecting the Disciples behind him.
He gritted his teeth, his already aged face becoming even more gaunt.
This series of moves had clearly damaged his Foundation.
However, the Disciples standing in front of Dugu Jiu were not so lucky; they were all sent flying, only landing on the ground behind Dugu Jiu.
Xu Nuo took out a Magical Artifact, preparing to withstand the aftershocks, but when the aftershocks reached three feet from her, they were blocked by an invisible barrier, the Talisman Chen Yuan had given her glowing with a soft golden light.
The surprise in her eyes flashed and vanished, and she quickly reacted, tapping her feet repeatedly, landing behind Dugu Jiu.
At the center of the explosion, Mu Yan's eyes widened, looking at Chen Yuan in front of her, her small mouth slightly agape.
After the smoke and dust cleared, when everyone looked towards Elder Mu Yan, their pupils suddenly contracted.
They saw a man in green robes, his clothes fluttering, spotless, standing firm like a pine tree.
"What?!"
This sudden scene instantly silenced the previously noisy battlefield!
Demon Saint Golden Wing and Demon Saint Xuan Gui stared at Chen Yuan, dumbfounded.
Looking at his Realm aura, Void Returning Early Stage?
All the Yao Race, all the survivors of Nine Heavens Sword Pavilion, looked at Chen Yuan in disbelief.
He actually withstood a full-power strike from a Body Integration Perfection Demon Saint by himself?!
Chen Yuan ignored all the shocked gazes. He calmly looked at Demon Saint Xuan Gui and Demon Saint Golden Wing: "Come at me together, to save time!"
Demon Saint Golden Wing and Demon Saint Xuan Gui were stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage! They had dominated the Demonic Domain for many years; when had they ever been so disrespected by a mere Human Race in the Void Returning Early Stage?
"Arrogant junior! You don't know your place!"
Demon Saint Golden Wing shrieked, his arms shaking. A phantom wing flashed behind him, and golden feathers like sharp swords rained down on Chen Yuan, each seemingly capable of tearing space.
Demon Saint Xuan Gui roared even louder, his massive Demonic Qi transforming into a solid dark yellow light pillar, arriving later but blocking all of Chen Yuan's escape routes!
The two Body Integration Perfection Demon Saints attacked in anger, their might shaking the heavens and earth. The entire Secret Realm trembled, as if it would completely collapse in the next moment!
The surviving Disciples of Nine Heavens Sword Pavilion shivered under this terrifying pressure, even breathing becoming difficult.
However, Chen Yuan merely raised his eyes slightly.
The next moment, a completely different pressure erupted from within him!
That was not the fluctuation of spiritual power, but an Emperor's Qi that transcended all living beings and commanded all Dao!
However, this Emperor's Qi seemed to still be sublimating, but had not yet reached the level of becoming a Saint.
At the same time, a supreme Sword Intent that annihilated all Laws soared into the sky, instantly dispelling the pervasive Demonic Qi!
The golden feathers seemed to strike an impenetrable wall, producing clanging sounds, and then fell to the ground.
And that dark yellow light pillar couldn't break through Chen Yuan's defense in the slightest!
"This... this is... Saint's might?! And lingering Emperor's Dao aura?!"
The heavily injured Elder Mu Yan's beautiful eyes widened, and she cried out in alarm, her voice filled with disbelief.
"Half-Step Sword Saint! He's actually a Half-Step Sword Saint!!"
Dugu Jiu's expression changed drastically in horror, his gaunt face filled with extreme shock, "Such a young Half-Step Sword Saint... How is this possible?!"
"Half-Step Sword Saint?!"
These four words exploded like a thunderclap from the Nine Heavens in the hearts of all survivors and the Yao Race!
Soaring Heaven felt as if his strength had been drained, his face pale, as he murmured, "Half... Half-Step Sword Saint..."
Xu Nuo clutched the Talisman in her hand even tighter, her serene eyes also filled with deep shock.
"Impossible!" Demon Saint Golden Wing let out a sharp shriek, fear appearing in his eyes for the first time.
He was clearly in the Void Returning Early Stage, yet why was the vast energy erupting from within him comparable to his own, a Body Integration Realm?
And that soaring Sword Intent around him, combined, had completely suppressed his own might!
But Chen Yuan no longer gave them a chance.
A crimson Domain suddenly spread out with him at the center!
Within the Domain, all things were swords, as hot as the scorching sun.
Chen Yuan pointed his fingers like a sword, and a blazing sword light containing the Nascent Form of the Fire Sword Dao Law was unleashed from his hand.
The look of terror on Demon Saint Golden Wing's face instantly froze.
He wanted to escape, but his boasted speed seemed extremely slow before this sword line.
The crimson sword light swept across his neck. The Nascent Form of the Fire Sword Dao Law entered his body, destroying his vitality, his Primordial Spirit, and his Demonic Infant.
With one sword, the Body Integration Perfection Demon Saint, Golden Wing, died!
The sword line continued unabated, heading straight for Demon Saint Xuan Gui!
"Roar!!!"
Demon Saint Xuan Gui was terrified, the shadow of death completely enveloping him.
He let out a roar, no longer caring about anything else, and instantly revealed his true form, a colossal Ancient Black Tortoise as vast as a mountain, covering the entire sky!
He poured all his Demonic Qi into his shell.
"Swoosh!"
The crimson sword light struck the turtle shell. That defense, strong enough to withstand a Mahayana Early Stage cultivator, was forcibly cut open, leaving a bottomless crack!
"Ah!"
"Pfft!"
Demon Saint Xuan Gui let out a mournful scream, blood gushing from the cracks in his shell. His aura instantly became extremely weak, and his massive body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, revealing his true form and sacrificing his vital turtle shell, he would have followed Golden Wing's fate by now!
