108: Chapter 108 It's time to die

"Master, release me quickly! I want to kill that Pretty Boy. He actually dares to snatch my woman!" Third Saint Son Zhao Long's eyes were practically spitting fire, and he glared at Ye Xuan, still refusing to accept defeat.

In Third Saint Son Zhao Long's heart, Ye Xuan was a guy who shouldn't have existed in the first place; it was because of his existence that Lin Qingzhu had refused to see him these past few years.

Wang Xianzhi's true body finally arrived, and he said with a cold expression, "You daring little beast, go down to the Endless Purgatory to be punished!"

An aura far surpassing Sword God Li Chungang's erupted, and his Mystic Power instantly condensed into a large palm. It shattered that half-step King Profound Realm puppet in one blow, then reached out toward Ye Xuan, intending to throw him into the Endless Purgatory in one smooth motion.

"There's no other way, I have no choice but to call Master."

Ye Xuan looked helplessly at the Wang Xianzhi before him, then smoothly took out the protective jade talisman, the Master Shen Xi Token, that his master had given him from his spirit ring, and instantly channeled his Mystic Power into it.

Ripples suddenly erupted in the void.

"Damn it! I calculated everything, but I didn't expect this brat to have a protective jade talisman!" Seeing this, Wang Xianzhi felt a bad premonition rising in his heart. He increased his force, wanting to throw Ye Xuan into the Endless Purgatory instantly, but his large palm print was shattered by an invisible force.

"Wang Xianzhi, you have quite a lot of nerve, daring to lay a hand on my disciple. Have you lived long enough?"

A figure in plain white stepped out from the void. A hazy, immortal silhouette arrived before Ye Xuan, blocking all the pressure, and in an instant, the terrifying might of a Saint Realm expert bore down directly on Wang Xianzhi.

"Master, this person is so shameless, bullying the small to oppress your good disciple."

How could Ye Xuan miss such an opportunity? He took advantage of the moment to hug the arm beneath his master's hazy immortal silhouette, saying in a very aggrieved tone.

After all, they were in public; no matter how thick-skinned Ye Xuan was, he wouldn't dare hug his master's thigh.

"Saint Master Shen Xi..."

Seeing who had arrived, Wang Xianzhi was so terrified that he shivered uncontrollably, his face turning deathly pale. He didn't dare say another word; he hadn't expected that Ye Xuan, that brat, would actually use the protective jade talisman to summon Saint Master Shen Xi.

"Master, this old immortal, seeing that his disciple lost the bet, wants to use his seniority to bully others and send Senior Brother to the Endless Purgatory for fifty years!"

Seeing that Master Shen Xi had arrived, Qingluan hurriedly complained angrily.

Although she felt very uncomfortable seeing Lin Qingzhu hugging Senior Brother just moments ago, she was certainly capable of distinguishing right from wrong at a time like this.

"Wang Xianzhi, I spared you once back then. What, have you lived long enough now?"

Master Shen Xi's cold, clear voice lingered in the surroundings. In an instant, this entire space was frozen, and Wang Xianzhi and Third Saint Son Zhao Long were locked in place by the terrifying aura, unable to move.

Having not seen her for a few years, Wang Xianzhi had not expected Saint Master Shen Xi's strength to have reached this point. Fear instantly arose in his heart, but thinking that he was in the right, he hurriedly spoke, "Saint Master Shen Xi, you cannot lay a hand on me. Your disciple destroyed hundreds of Mystic Power artifacts on the sixth floor of the Cangbing Pavilion, violating the sacred ground's regulations. My actions were in accordance with the sacred ground's regulations!"

Wang Xianzhi couldn't move a single inch, but he knew that if he couldn't come up with a reason this time, he would definitely be dead.

"Shut up. You are not an elder of the sacred ground; what qualification do you have to punish my disciple?"

Hearing this, Master Shen Xi let out a cold snort that acted like a law, causing Wang Xianzhi to lose the ability to speak. She then turned her head to look at Ye Xuan, a hint of tenderness hidden within her cold, clear voice: "Did you really destroy a large number of Mystic Power artifacts on the sixth floor of the Cangbing Pavilion?"

Qingluan answered Master Shen Xi's question first, saying dismissively, "Yes, Master. To find a powerful Saint-grade Mystic Power artifact and win the bet against Third Saint Son Zhao Long, Senior Brother did indeed destroy quite a few artifacts. Furthermore, disciple also feels that Senior Brother did the right thing; this is also a way to distinguish powerful Mystic Power artifacts."

"Um, Master, disciple really didn't mean to. Otherwise, Master, please punish me."

Ye Xuan could only bite the bullet and admit that he had done it. Holding his master's left hand and smelling the pleasant, delicate fragrance on her, the panic in his heart subsided a little.

"Heh, they are merely some low-level Mystic Power artifacts. I didn't expect you to be able to find a Saint-grade Mystic Power artifact on that floor. Even two hundred King-grade Mystic Power artifacts cannot compare to a Saint-grade Mystic Power artifact."

Master Shen Xi looked deeply at Ye Xuan, the admiration in her beautiful eyes increasing by several degrees. For the first time, she revealed a doting gaze, and she even reached out to pat Ye Xuan's head, chuckling, "As expected of my good disciple, well done!"

Feeling this brief moment of warmth, Ye Xuan looked up and was suddenly stunned; his master's favorability toward him was actually nearing ninety. It was just one point of favorability away, and it had now reached eighty-nine.

"Master, this disciple is truly so touched!"

Master Shen Xi gazed at Ye Xuan's face, which could be called a miracle, and interrupted what he was about to say next, her red lips curving slightly: "Stop with the glib talk. We'll discuss other things when we get to Sword Immortal Peak later. For now, Master will deal with this old thing first."

"Since you have violated the sacred ground's regulations, you must leave something behind today before you can leave."

Master Shen Xi's cold, clear voice rang out as she raised her right hand and lightly swung her sword finger.

"Hum——"

The sword pressure formed by the terrifying sword finger made Wang Xianzhi tremble all over. At this moment, he found it difficult even to beg for mercy, and half his body was instantly obliterated.

"Puff——"

The restriction was lifted, and Wang Xianzhi's origin had dissipated by one-fifth. He reformed his body and looked at Master Shen Xi in horror, "You... Saint Master Shen Xi, are you intending to break your promise?"

Back then, he had spoken rudely, thinking that Master Shen Xi's strength was similar to his own. At that time, Master Shen Xi was only in the Huangxuan Realm, yet she had beaten Wang Xianzhi into serious injury in just three rounds.

Now that Master Shen Xi's cultivation had advanced to the Saint Realm, she had actually become even more terrifying, easily suppressing him.

"Heh, break my promise? Today, you must pay a price for making a move!"

The surrounding space was distorting, completely crushing toward Wang Xianzhi. He couldn't use a single bit of the Mystic Power within his body. This was the true strength of a Saint Realm expert; manipulating the terrifying space was enough to kill a Huangxuan Realm powerhouse.

At this moment, Wang Xianzhi only felt unbearable pain all over, unable to move. Silver spatial force mixed with a trace of sword energy was passing through every bit of his flesh and bones, causing his origin to be obliterated bit by bit.

"Master, you are so amazing! Is this the use of spatial force combined with the Dao of the Sword? When will I be able to reach this step?" Watching this scene before him, Ye Xuan couldn't help but exclaim several times.

"Heh, spatial force, is it? When you step into the Huangxuan Realm, which is the same realm as this old thing, and comprehend the Great Dao of Space, only then will you be able to attack like Master."

Master Shen Xi explained patiently, but the force in her hand remained controlled within a certain range—not enough to kill Wang Xianzhi, but enough to make him uncomfortable.

Because there was a prior agreement with an ancestor of the Zhao family, killing Wang Xianzhi was not Master Shen Xi's intention, but teaching him a lesson was fine.
