Xing Shan was already a Heavenly Position Realm Second Level expert, whose cultivation was far superior to Ye Xuan's. In addition, he caught Ye Xuan off guard and got so close to him.
Therefore, he had absolute confidence in his sword strike and was certain that it would kill Ye Xuan.
quick!
That's incredibly fast!
Almost the instant the sword was drawn, a sinister smile appeared on Xing Shan's lips, his expression one of absolute certainty of victory.
"Go to hell!"
With a roar, the sword light had already reached Ye Xuan.
However, just as the sword light was about to pierce Ye Xuan's head, Ye Xuan's body suddenly moved.
With a thunderous roar, in an instant, he moved sideways and flashed away like a divine dragon.
The sword light flew past Ye Xuan's earlobe, a near miss.
The next moment, a dark yellow sword light, accompanied by a whistling sound, slashed down directly towards Xing Shan.
"How is this possible?"
This sudden turn of events instantly changed Xing Shan's expression.
He never expected that Ye Xuan would dodge his sure-kill sword strike, and that Ye Xuan would even counterattack with a sword strike.
Sensing the terrifying killing intent contained within that sword light, he knew perfectly well that Ye Xuan had been prepared and was just waiting to deliver this blow.
You're so insidious!
Xing Shan roared inwardly, but he had no time to dodge.
With a soft "pfft".
The dark yellow sword light pierced his head in an instant. With a loud bang, Xing Shan's head was severed, and he fell straight to the ground.
Blood mixed with brain matter sprayed out, looking incredibly gruesome.
Until his death, he never imagined that he would die in this way.
If he hadn't ambushed Ye Xuan, even if Ye Xuan had unleashed that sword strike, it might not have been so easy for him to kill him.
However, he launched a sneak attack on Ye Xuan first, and because he thought Ye Xuan was doomed, he became careless.
This carelessness, though seemingly insignificant, directly led to his demise.
"Hmph, you think you can ambush this Holy Son? How laughable."
Ye Xuan sheathed his sword, his white robes spotless. Looking at Xing Shan's mangled corpse lying on the ground, his eyes were filled with disdain.
What a joke! How could he possibly be careless when facing Heavenly Position Realm expert, especially one from the outside the Heavenly Position Realm?
He sensed Absolute Domain almost as soon as Xing Shan released it.
Ye Xuan casually put away Xing Shan and Wang Ming's storage bags, and then rushed into the cave.
The cave was very spacious, and Ye Xuan felt a rich Spiritual Qi as soon as he entered.
He looked ahead, and what appeared before him were piles of crystal-clear spirit stones.
They were all mid-grade spirit stones, totaling tens of thousands.
No wonder those Nascent Soul Cultivator were willing to fight against two Heavenly Position for this.
It should be noted that such a large number of mid-grade spirit stones would be a considerable fortune even for a cultivator at the Heavenly Position Realm.
"Fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones, although not too precious for me, is still not bad. I'll make do with it."
Ye Xuan murmured something, then, without any hesitation, put away the spirit stones and quickly rushed out of the cave.
As he left the cave and headed towards the location indicated by the lines in his mind, a young man was slowly walking forward in a dark, dense forest.
The young man was handsome with a resolute gaze, but there seemed to be an unyielding hatred in his brows, giving him a sinister and eerie feeling.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that the young man is one-armed. His right arm is empty, with his sleeve fluttering in the wind, while his only remaining hand is tightly gripping a three-foot-long sword.
" Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan, you just wait! I, Jian Qi, will not fall! I will kill you sooner or later!"
The young man let out a hoarse roar that was almost a scream, his eyes filled with deep-seated resentment and hatred.
Suddenly, he swung his longsword forward with his left hand, and with a soft thud, a charging demonic beast was cleaved in two.
Half an hour later, a stone hall of about a hundred square meters appeared before him. Looking at the stone hall, he rushed over without any hesitation.
Another area.
A young man with white hair was also walking briskly, at an unbelievable speed.
Wherever he went, countless demonic beasts retreated, not daring to approach him even a fraction of an inch!
Even if some foolish demonic beasts approached, they were all crushed and torn apart by his fierce aura, unable to stop his advance.
There was a strange crescent-shaped mark between his brows. At one moment, he paused slightly, looked up, and murmured, "The Divine Palace, the Divine Palace, where exactly is it?"
If the ancestors of the Ancient Desolate Holy Land were to see this person, they would surely be greatly surprised.
Because he was actually the most mysterious and powerful First Ancestor of the Carefree Holy Land!
Unexpectedly, even this person has entered the Xuanyuan Mystic Realm. If this were to be known by outsiders, it would likely shake the entire Eastern Wasteland Realm!
In a secluded canyon, a woman dressed in black was also walking forward.
Compared to the previous two, her pace was much slower, as if she were taking a leisurely stroll.
Her figure was extremely graceful, and her temperament was extremely cold and sharp. Unfortunately, there was a layer of hazy mist in front of her face, making it impossible to see her features.
Before long, she arrived at an ancient cave, where countless cultivators were engaged in a fierce battle.
The woman in black glanced around, then shook her head in disappointment. Without looking back, she turned and left.
But as soon as she turned around, two cultivators appeared with sinister smiles, blocking her path.
"Leave the storage bag and get out!"
One of them stared at the woman in black and roared menacingly.
However, before he could finish speaking, and without the woman in black making a move, two loud popping sounds rang out, and both of their dantian shattered simultaneously. They then collapsed to the ground in terror, perishing.
The woman in black didn't even glance at them, nor did she bother to take their storage bags. With a flash, she disappeared.
···
Ye Xuan continued forward, and finally arrived at his destination by following the route in his mind.
Before him were layers of steps, nine steps in total.
Above those steps was a small palace, about a hundred square meters in size.
The palace emitted faint rays of light, making it appear very sacred.
"This must be that little stroke of luck."
Ye Xuan looked at the small palace and couldn't help but mutter to himself. Then, without any hesitation, he rushed over.
Soon, Ye Xuan stepped onto the first step, and the moment he did, he couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
Because he didn't feel the oppressive force described in the novel; everything was just like ordinary steps.
"Holy crap, so novels are all lies after all!"
This greatly disappointed Ye Xuan, who then couldn't help but swear. He took a step forward and immediately reached the ninth level.
Looking at the gleaming golden gate before him, Ye Xuan stretched out his hands and pushed it through without hesitation.
