238: True and False Holy Sons

Time flies, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In this mountainside area, more than a hundred Prodigies had already gathered.

However, only thirty or so people were waiting for "Qin Chen" to walk into the trap, while the remaining hundred-plus people had come specifically to watch the battle—after all, since you are an Academy Student and a Disciple of Venerable Yuqing, many forces dared not openly oppose you.

Just as everyone was waiting quietly, a strong Spiritual Qi fluctuation suddenly came from the horizon, and a golden stream of light arrived in an instant, moving from far away to near.

Standing prominently on the Flying Boat was another figure—dressed in fine clothes, with an extraordinary demeanor, it was actually another Sacred Land Saint Son!

Everyone looked at you, then at the newly arrived Sacred Land Saint Son, unable to tell who was real.

"This... how can there be two Saints?"

"Who exactly is the real one?"

The people present looked at each other, and the scene instantly burst into an uproar, the atmosphere suddenly becoming tense.

Sacred Land Saint Son's gaze was like electricity, staring straight at you. He then took a step forward, a sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth: "How audacious, daring to impersonate my appearance?"

Your expression was calm, and you replied indifferently: "Whether it's real or fake, you know it in your heart."

Without waiting for him to reply, you continued loudly: "If I were an imposter, why would I wait here for so long? Do you think the Prodigies present here are so easily fooled?"

Tan Yun, standing beside you, nodded in agreement: "That's right, I have been with the Saint for many days; he absolutely cannot be fake."

"I also believe this Saint is real." Sima Jing looked at you, her tone firm.

Even Yan Nuo and Chu Hong expressed their agreement.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the crowd showed signs of wavering.

Just then, Nangong Feiyan suddenly spoke: "I have a way to distinguish the real from the fake—please ask the two Saints to show the Life-Saving Jade Talismans bestowed by the Holy Land."

Sacred Land Saint Son snorted coldly and flicked his sleeve, saying: "This Saint is genuine; why would I need a Jade Talisman to prove it?"

You smiled slightly, and with a flip of your hand, a shimmering, multicolored Jade Talisman appeared in your palm—it was precisely Liu Ruyan's.

"If you can't produce it, then you can't. Why pretend?" You chuckled lightly.

As soon as your voice fell, you immediately shouted: "What are you waiting for? Take him down!"

Nangong Feiyan saw this and immediately glared at the true Sacred Land Saint Son, murderous intent fully revealed in her eyes: "What a scoundrel, daring to trick us! Now we have the advantage in numbers, and we have a Great Formation surrounding you. Where can you run?"

"He even dared to bully the former Saintess, Shen Tongtong, Saintess of Canglan Holy Land; impersonating a Saint is naturally something he would do," Sima Tao agreed loudly.

"Why waste words with him? Attack directly!" Cai Yi said coldly.

The crowd no longer hesitated, summoning their Magic Treasures and unleashing Divine Abilities, launching an attack on Sacred Land Saint Son.

In an instant, Sword Qi crisscrossed and spiritual light flashed violently, completely sealing off all his escape routes.

Taking advantage of the chaos, you moved next to Liu Ruyan, slipped the Jade Talisman back into her hand, and whispered: "Keep it safe. It might get messy later."

Liu Ruyan looked at you gently, her eyes filled with reverence.

In the center of the battlefield, Sacred Land Saint Son faced the siege of over thirty Prodigies, yet showed no sign of panic.

He let out a long roar: "Since you lot are blind, this Saint will teach you a good lesson—"

"Nine Dragons Suppressing Heaven Art!"

In that instant, golden light burst forth around him, and a Dragon-shaped phantom soared into the sky from behind him.

Someone sneered upon seeing this: "Just putting on a show!"

"Even if you are the true Saint, you can't possibly defeat so many of us," someone said calmly.

"Everyone, don't hold back. Resolve this quickly," Liu Ruyan also shouted loudly.

Facing the Magic Treasures and Talismans raining down from the sky, Sacred Land Saint Son did not hesitate and immediately shouted:

"Nine Dragons Body Protection!"

Nine golden Dragon phantoms circled his body, instantly shaking off all the Flying Swords and Talismans that attacked first.

Some of the weaker individuals were even sent flying backward by the resulting shockwave.

Sacred Land Saint Son's eyes were icy cold. With a flip of his right hand, an iridescent white longsword appeared in his palm—it was precisely his Lifebound Treasure, the "Cold Light Sword."

The sword body trembled slightly, and icy crystals condensed like rain across the sky, while biting Sword Intent swept in all directions.

"Cold Light Flashing Shadow!"

Wherever the sword light passed, several Prodigies fell to the ground, their bodies covered in frost, their Meridians instantly frozen.

Immediately afterward, he formed a hand seal with his left hand, and a crimson ring of fire spread out from beneath his feet—

"Heaven Burning Holy Fire!"

The scorching flames transformed into roaring Fire Dragons, engulfing the few people on the left who were trying to surround him.

Amidst screams, flames shot into the sky, and several more people vanished as white light, clearly having been teleported out of the Secret Realm by their Jade Talismans.

This "Heaven Burning Holy Fire" is the Saint's signature ultimate skill, formed from a wisp of Innate Spiritual Fire he refined, capable of burning everything in the world.

Ordinary Cultivators are simply unable to resist it without appropriate defensive measures.

In just a short moment, Sacred Land Saint Son had already counter-killed more than ten people using his fierce methods!

It was a pity these people had never seen the Saint fight. They naturally did not recognize these exclusive ultimate skills, which only the true Saint could unleash.

Witnessing the Saint's strength, you couldn't help but feel admiration.

To be able to counter-kill more than ten people while being besieged by over thirty Prodigies, the Saint's strength truly stands out among Prodigies.

You secretly mused that without using the immortal slaying sword, even you would probably find it difficult to achieve such a feat.

At this moment, Nangong Feiyan shouted a reminder: "This person is extremely powerful, everyone must not be careless!"

"Quickly form the formation and unleash the Combined Attack Technique!" Sima Tao also shouted urgently.

This Combined Attack Technique allows Cultivators of the same rank to gather their strength together, multiplying its power.

It is usually used in group battles to deal with opponents of superior strength.

Moreover, the more people involved, the greater the power of the combined attack.

As soon as Sima Tao finished speaking, the remaining people immediately formed a formation, completely encircling the Saint.

Chains of spiritual power emerged from the Void Realm, weaving into a large net, binding the Dragon phantoms around his body layer by layer.

"Break!"

Sacred Land Saint Son roared in anger. The Cold Light Sword of Ice Soul erupted with brilliant cold light, instantly severing dozens of chains.

But right at this moment, Nangong Feiyan and Sima Tao attacked simultaneously—

"Nine Nether Spirit Binding!"

"Heavenly Net Soul Suppression!"

Two powerful Divine Abilities attacked from the left and right. Sacred Land Saint Son desperately swung his sword to block, but ultimately could not withstand the combined strength of the crowd.

The protective Dragon phantoms shattered inch by inch, and the Cold Light Sword of Ice Soul let out a mournful cry, flying back.

"Pfft—"

Under the combined strike of the crowd, he finally couldn't hold on, his body flew backward, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"You... how dare you—!" He roared furiously, his eyes nearly splitting with rage.

But the crowd had already gone berserk with killing intent; how could they heed his roar?

The next second, more than ten Magic Treasures simultaneously slammed into his body.

However, a scene that shocked everyone occurred—

The Protective Jade Talisman on his body suddenly activated, unleashing a heaven-reaching brilliance, and majestic Saintly Might permeated the entire venue!

Immediately afterward, he was enveloped by a pillar of light and instantly teleported out of the Secret Realm.

Everyone stopped in horror, only then realizing—the one they had besieged and attacked was the true Saint!

More than twenty pairs of eyes simultaneously glared at you, practically spitting fire.
