As Gu Ran's voice fell, beams of divine light surged forth from his body, and above his head, a phantom image of Saint began to condense.
A vast and terrifying pressure swept out, engulfing all directions, instantly causing all the surrounding cultivators to feel a sense of unease.
The sounds of blood spitting out echoed continuously, and soon all the cultivators collapsed to the ground, beginning to worship the illusory figure of the Saint.
That's a phantom image of Saint, how could it be a joke?
Ye Xuan's expression also turned somewhat grim.
Because he hadn't expected that Gu Ran would actually use the "Myriad Saints Pay Homage to Heaven" technique against him.
You should know that the "Myriad Saints Pay Homage to Heaven" technique is a forbidden technique of the Carefree Holy Land.
With his formidable cultivation at the Gu Ran Venerable Realm, why would he need to resort to such a forbidden technique to deal with a Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Realm cultivator?
Under that terrifying pressure, Ye Xuan's face also turned deathly pale.
He felt as if a divine mountain was pressing down on his head, trying to force him to submit and kneel.
However, he gritted his teeth, kept his back straight, and refused to bend over!
" Ye Xuan, to die beneath the might of this Holy Lord, the Myriad Saints Pay Homage to Heaven, you have every reason to be proud!"
"Go to hell!"
At that moment, Gu Ran slowly raised his hand.
A look of excitement and madness flashed in his eyes, and then he slammed his fist down on Ye Xuan's head.
Buzz!
As he moved, the illusory figure of the Saint also raised his hand and struck Ye Xuan with a palm.
In an instant, thunderous sounds resounded continuously, and wherever the palms passed, the void trembled, and the heavens and earth seemed to shake.
That oppressive aura, that overwhelming power, was simply terrifying.
Under that terrifying pressure, countless cultivators began to self-destruct uncontrollably.
Ye Xuan looked at the two hands that were slapping him, and slowly closed his eyes.
It looked as if they had resigned themselves to their fate.
However, just as Gu Ran's palm was about to strike Ye Xuan, a golden light suddenly shone from Ye Xuan's body.
The next moment, a divine armor appeared on Ye Xuan's body, completely enveloping him.
With a loud bang, Gu Ran and the Saint's palms landed heavily on Ye Xuan almost simultaneously.
Ye Xuan felt a powerful force strike him, and he was instantly blasted away.
Almost the instant he was blasted away, Ye Xuan felt a sense of relief and a significant reduction in the pressure on his body.
Without the slightest hesitation, he instantly unleashed the Wandering Dragon Steps, using the momentum to sprint wildly towards the city gate.
That's incredibly fast!
At this moment, Ye Xuan, with the help of Gu Ran and the power of the Saint's illusory palms, reached an extreme speed.
Even Gu Ran didn't see what happened clearly before Ye Xuan flew out of Mage City like a shooting star.
" Gu Ran, this palm strike today will be etched in my memory. I will repay it a hundredfold in the future. We shall meet again!"
Ye Xuan's cold and elusive voice came from afar, but quickly disappeared completely.
Gu Ran stared blankly at Ye Xuan's departing figure, somewhat stunned.
Not only him, but even the cultivators below who had miraculously survived were stunned.
How could Ye Xuan survive those two terrifying blows?
How is that possible?
Keep in mind, that was a palm strike unleashed with the full power of both the illusory image of Saint and Gu Ran.
Who is Gu Ran? He was once the Holy Lord of the Carefree Holy Land, a powerful expert with the cultivation of the Venerable Realm, and one of the most outstanding figures in the Eastern Wasteland.
How could someone like him, after unleashing a forbidden technique, fail to kill a mere Ye Xuan?
Gu Ran's face was extremely gloomy. Watching Ye Xuan's departing figure, he clenched his fists, cursing inwardly, "Damn it!"
He naturally knew that Ye Xuan hadn't died because of the Sacred Armor that had suddenly appeared on his body.
It was precisely because of that Sacred Armor that he not only failed to kill Ye Xuan, but actually helped Ye Xuan escape.
However, what I Gu Ran can't understand is how Ye Xuan managed to put on the Sacred Armor under those circumstances?
It's important to understand that Ye Xuan was already locked onto by him at that time, making it impossible for him to put on the Sacred Armor.
Even if he hadn't been targeted, Ye Xuan wouldn't have had time to put it on in such a short period of time.
After all, he had confirmed beforehand that Ye Xuan did not possess Sacred Armor.
"Little beast!"
Gu Ran I couldn't figure these things out, I simply stopped thinking about them.
He let out a cold curse, then quickly took to the air, his body transforming into a streak of light and disappearing from the spot.
Seeing Gu Ran disappear, everyone present finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What happened today was truly dramatic.
The fact that these two legendary figures, Ye Xuan and Gu Ran, appeared in Mage City at the same time was truly astonishing.
The only pity was that Flower Snake; its death was truly unjust and tragic.
After rushing out of Mage City, Ye Xuan quickly used the momentum to head towards the Devil Beast Mountain Range.
Now, his only way to be truly safe is to escape into the Devil Beast Mountain Range.
Because even Gu Ran wouldn't dare to be too reckless there.
But will he really be able to escape safely to the Devil Beast Mountain Range?
Ye Xuan didn't know either.
" Gu Ran, you bastard, don't give me a chance, or I'll definitely kill you!"
Ye Xuan's expression was also somewhat gloomy, because if it weren't for the Sacred Armor, he would have been dead long ago.
Even his Chaos Sacred Body is no match for a Venerable Realm expert.
He only regretted that he hadn't killed Gu Ran in the Xuanyuan Mystic Realm.
Ye Xuan was filled with boundless hatred, but he used the Wandering Dragon Steps at its fastest speed, daring not to hold back in the slightest.
Fortunately, the Devil Beast Mountain Range was not far from Mage City, so Ye Xuan was able to see Devil Beast Mountain Range outline in no time.
Seeing the distant, faintly visible Devil Beast Mountain Range, Ye Xuan roused himself and began to run at top speed.
But at that moment, his expression changed again.
He could clearly sense that the Gu Ran aura was rapidly approaching them.
"You bastard, you're chasing me pretty fast!"
Feeling the aura of Gu Ran, Ye Xuan couldn't help but grit his teeth again.
That son of a bitch deserves to die!
" Ye Xuan, you cannot escape! I, the Holy Lord, have said that today, you will die!"
Gu Ran also sensed Ye Xuan's presence and couldn't help but grin maliciously again.
How could a mere Nascent Soul ant possibly escape from his grasp?
It's important to understand that this isn't the Xuanyuan Mystic Realm; his cultivation level isn't suppressed here.
If a powerful Venerable Realm like him were to be let escape by an ant like Ye Xuan, he might as well just find a block of tofu and smash his head against it.
