435: The Half-Step Great Sage is coming!

“Perhaps… I have a way.”

Ye Qingxian recalled that she had obtained a strange item when she was in the Cave Heaven Realm, and she had thought that she could refine it to form an Archaic Ten Fiends Dharma Idol, but that item contained a strange power.

Once refined, it would corrode all power in the body, and cultivation and Realm would be frozen and sealed.

If it were an ordinary person, including her, it would naturally be useless, but if it were Chu Ying…

Ye Qingxian remembered that Chu Ying was clearly self-harming earlier, inflicting terrifying power on himself, but the damage was transferred to those demonic creatures and people from the Netherworld First Grade Hall.

“Some kind of Demon Arts?” Ye Qingxian couldn't understand what kind of method could achieve this, and could only guess in the direction of Demon Arts.

But even she couldn't think of any Demon Arts that could do it, not even the Devouring Heaven Magic Art, which had become a taboo, had this effect.

Or… was it through that strange golden bamboo slip? It felt like a weapon, but it didn't seem to have a Rank.

Therefore, if she gave Chu Ying that useless item she had obtained, it should be helpful to him.

Just as Ye Qingxian was pondering how to trade with Chu Ying, a powerful and terrifying aura rapidly approached this place!

“Half-Step Great Saint?!”

Chu Ying instantly stood up, his brows extremely furrowed.

He had been locked on, and it was a Half-Step Great Saint from the Netherworld First Grade Hall!

Moreover, there were two Nine-Step Saint Lords following, which showed that this time the Netherworld First Grade Hall was truly determined to kill him!

“Hurry and go! I still have a hundred thousand li teleportation talisman!”

Ye Qingxian's expression changed drastically, and she quickly prepared to take Chu Ying and escape again. A hundred thousand li teleportation talisman should be able to shake off a Half-Step Great Saint for a while.

Chu Ying glanced at her indifferently, and said coldly, “Get lost! Don’t stay by my side and get in the way.”

Hearing this, Ye Qingxian's figure and face froze at the same time. She had cultivated for a hundred years and no one had ever dared to tell her to “get lost.”

This suppressed her original idea of making a deal with Chu Ying, replaced by deeper anger and humiliation.

“You… I kindly saved you, but you cling to the past…”

“How can a dignified Nine Heavens Cave Monster, a peerless hero, be so petty?!”

Ye Qingxian was furious, her expression wronged and annoyed. She had been humble for so long, but this guy didn't appreciate it at all.

Then let him fend for himself! Let's see if he can defeat a Half-Step Great Saint!

Ye Qingxian turned around and left directly, disappearing from this area in an instant.

Chu Ying's gaze was calm, and he muttered to himself:

“Petty? It's just venting past grievances. Was I, Chu, born to suffer grievances?”

Chu Ying didn't have much confidence against a Half-Step Great Saint. If his Ninefold Array hadn't been suppressed by heavenly might and could still be used, he would have had the strength to fight.

But now, relying solely on the Great Thousand Record for sacrifice, it's probably hard to say.

“In that case…”

A round pill appeared in Chu Ying's hand—the Demon Appearance Pill!

Of the nine great Cave Heavens and seven Dharma Idols, the Poor Strange Dharma Idol had not yet been demonized to a forbidden level.

Chu Ying had never been in a hurry to upgrade the originally extraordinary-level Dharma Idols, precisely to guard against an insurmountable crisis one day, so that he could use the Heavenly Tribulation to fight the enemy at that time.

Now it seems that the time has come.

Ten breaths later, three figures arrived at extreme speed, hovering in mid-air, exuding an incomparably powerful aura.

The leader was an old, hunched old man, but his aura made the void tremble.

A Half-Step Great Saint of the Netherworld First Grade Hall!

“You are very bold, daring not to flee.” Li Sheng spoke indifferently. He was a Half-Step Great Saint of the Endless Sea Youming First Class Hall, holding a very high position, and would rarely take action personally in most cases.

But now he was dispatched because of a Nine Heavens Cave Monster, but he didn't think it was overkill.

“Even if I ran, I wouldn't be able to escape, would I?”

Chu Ying stood up, smiling calmly:

“Even a Half-Step Great Saint has come out to kill me. The Netherworld First Grade Hall's determination to kill me is truly great.”

Once upon a time, a Half-Step Great Saint was the strongest person Chu Ying could glimpse.

The White-browed Eagle King, the patriarch of the North Nether Sea Ancient Heavenly Devil Peng three thousand years ago, was already in the Half-Step Great Saint Realm when Chu Ying rescued him. After coming out, he caused a ruckus in the North Nether Sea, shaking the various Demon Clans.

And the Revered Master of the girl named Luo Shuihan whom he met in the North Nether Sea was also a Half-Step Great Saint.

The Old Ancestor of the Tianxuan Holy Land was also a Half-Step Great Saint.

…

These powerhouses, whom Chu Ying once looked up to, are now only slightly higher than him in Realm.

And now, Chu Ying is about to personally face the killing of a Half-Step Great Saint.

“If you are willing to join my Netherworld First Grade Hall, you don't have to be killed.”

Li Sheng said.

“Hahahaha! Join your Netherworld First Grade Hall as a servant? Be a subordinate to Di Yi?”

Chu Ying looked up and laughed, his expression playful: “Di Yi has three bodies, and one of them, the God Corpse, appeared in the No Return Land and has been killed by me once.”

“This Di Yi should be the Young Revered Master of your Endless Sea Youming First Class Hall, right?”

Chu Ying's words made Li Sheng and the other two Nine-Step Saint Lords' expressions darken. Although they had already guessed this fact, hearing it now was still incredibly unbelievable.

Their Young Revered Master had actually died once at the hands of this Chu Ying!

“It's a pity you can't make me the Young Revered Master, otherwise I might actually be a little interested.” Chu Ying smiled calmly, showing no signs of nervousness.

“Hmph! Why should Li Sheng waste words with this person? If he doesn't submit, then kill him and seize all the treasures within him!”

A Nine-Step Saint Lord spoke coldly, his eyes filled with strong killing intent.

“Young man, you must think carefully. Since you have opened the Nine-Cavern, your future is boundless.”

Li Sheng continued, “As long as you are willing to hand over the treasures and precious bones in your body and join my Netherworld First Grade Hall, then all past transgressions can be forgiven by my Netherworld First Grade Hall.”

“You’re thinking too much, old man?”

Chu Ying scoffed, “The treasures I painstakingly obtained, would I hand them over to you?”

Li Sheng's eyes narrowed, and a chilling cold light shot out.

“You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!”

Seeing that they couldn't agree, Li Sheng stopped talking and suddenly grabbed at Chu Ying. A Half-Step Great Saint powerhouse, with a raise of his hand, the wind and clouds changed, and Dao rhyme flowed.

“Good timing!”

A playful, mocking smile appeared on Chu Ying's face: “Old man, if you can't kill me, when I leave, I'll dig up your ancestral grave!”

Chu Ying held the Great Thousand Record in his hand and began to sacrifice himself.

He currently found it difficult to defeat a Half-Step Great Saint with the Great Thousand Record, but he could stall the opponent until… his Heavenly Tribulation descended!

Before these three arrived, Chu Ying had already taken the Demon Appearance Pill, and the Poor Strange Dharma Idol had already advanced to the forbidden level.

And the Heavenly Tribulation was slowly gathering!

Perhaps because this was the Ancient Battlefield under the sea, the Heavenly Tribulation gathered slowly, and it seemed that it had to break into this layer of heaven and earth before it could descend.

So Chu Ying still needed to stall these people.

Splat!

One of Chu Ying's arms was forcibly torn off, and the pain in that instant was absolutely heart-wrenching.

Immediately followed by three screams.
