“Hm?”
Even from the periphery of the ongoing battle outside the array, a surprised exclamation rang out. The voice was rough and low, not particularly loud, yet everyone heard it clearly, sending a chill through them all.
Clearly, it came from the mouth of that Demonic Saint.
The voice sounded somewhat inhuman.
“Snicker! Snicker!”
At the same time, on the ground, the blood spilled from Ying Yi was absorbed dry into the soil, vanishing beneath the surface.
The blood from Ying Yi’s severed corpse was also being rapidly devoured.
“Whoosh!”
At that moment, Lin Xiao’s figure flashed towards another target, moving at extreme speed. He quickly reached Jiang You, who was relatively closer to the other two. The broken sword chopped heavily towards Jiang You.
“Hmph!”
Jiang You snorted coldly. Though gravely wounded, he could still barely muster power, and it was Martial Saint power at that.
A mere middle-aged man radiating fifth-level Martial Emperor aura, succeeding in a sneak attack on Ying Yi through surprise. Did he think he could kill him too?
With power infused, the God-Beating Bamboo in Jiang You’s hand radiated brilliant cyan light. Combined with his Martial Saint force, even at his weakest, its might was peerless.
The God-Beating Bamboo seemed to cleave the void itself, emitting a splitting sound as it smashed towards Lin Xiao.
At the same time, forcing this attack caused blood to spray from Jiang You’s mouth.
“This fellow is finished!”
Ge Jiuwei thought to himself.
He had no idea why this man was sneaking attacks on Martial Saints. Succeeding once was already incredibly lucky. Attacking another now, against someone wielding the God-Beating Bamboo and still capable of one strike, even if only a tenth of full power, far exceeded what a fifth-level Martial Emperor could withstand. The others were equally shocked at the middle-aged man’s audacity.
Everyone believed the man was doomed. Even Jiang You thought the same.
Boom! Yet when sword and bamboo collided, Jiang You felt only numbness in his arm. The God-Beating Bamboo rebounded, smashing heavily into his own chest. A great mouthful of blood sprayed from his lips, a spray of crimson blooming before him.
Jiang You’s entire body was hurled far backwards, crashing into the rear array barrier. He bounced back a distance before collapsing to the ground.
“How is this possible?”
In that instant, everyone’s pupils dilated further, faces filled with utter disbelief.
This middle-aged man at Martial Emperor realm had actually blasted a Martial Saint flying?
Could Jiang You’s strength truly be so depleted that he could not even withstand a Martial Emperor?
Hong Lie and Yi Zhigong were equally stunned.
Yet they immediately attributed it to Jiang You’s severe injuries, appearing strong but hollow within. His erupted attack had form but no substance, hence the rebound.
After all, Lin Xiao’s aura was merely fifth-level Martial Emperor. Under these circumstances, they could not imagine a fifth-level Martial Emperor possessing strength to defeat a Martial Saint.
It could only mean Jiang You’s strike was far too feeble.
“Whoosh!”
At that moment, Lin Xiao moved again, brewing power as he charged towards Hong Lie on the other side.
Jiang You was not dead, but gravely wounded, utterly incapable of further combat, even struggling to resist the ground’s blood-sucking force. No need to finish him urgently.
Now, he would seize the chance to assassinate the remaining two Martial Saints.
“Not good!”
The people from You Province snapped back, expressions changing drastically, especially the Hong family forces. Many surged towards the inner array barrier.
At the same time, the near-saint powerhouse from Tianji Holy Land and others on the opposite side also moved, plunging violently into the array towards Lin Xiao.
“Insolent rat, die!”
The near-saint elder from Tianji Holy Land roared in fury. His longsword gathered peak near-saint power, slashing heavily towards Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao snorted inwardly. Muscular strength surged, internal yuan force circulated, bolstered by spiritual force. He slashed heavily, clashing with the Tianji Holy Land near-saint elder’s longsword.
Many books are now hard to find, so cherish them while you can.
