Ye Xuan's mind went blank, and he felt like his whole body was going to go numb.
This scene is truly bizarre.
He was frantically running away when suddenly his mind went blank for a moment, and then he regained consciousness, and this is the scene before him.
Ye Xuan was stunned, completely unaware of what had happened, and utterly bewildered.
However, he quickly forgot about his shock.
At that moment, a terrifying surge of energy, like a torrent, rushed into his body, instantly circulating along his 108 meridians and rapidly flowing towards his dantian.
Ye Xuan was initially startled, but then he realized that this was the cultivation level of that Saint Realm expert.
He was all too familiar with this scene.
Because every time he kills someone, he absorbs that person's cultivation level.
It's just that those Venerable Half-Saint were too weak; their cultivation wasn't that terrifying.
"Could it be that I killed this person?"
Ye Xuan fell into a daze once again.
When did I become so powerful? I'm even able to kill Saint Realm?
Most importantly, how exactly did I kill Saint Realm expert? Why do I have no idea?
Ye Xuan was filled with doubt again, but he quickly stopped thinking about it.
The most urgent thing is to get out of here as soon as possible.
The fall of the Saint Realm is no small matter.
The other nine Saint Realm will definitely go mad.
If the enemy attacks all at once, he's doomed.
Ye Xuan was certain that the other party would absolutely grind him to dust.
Ye Xuan's figure flashed, and he used the Wandering Dragon Steps to its fullest extent, disappearing into the distance in an instant.
As expected, things went exactly as he predicted. He had only been gone for less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn when a vast and powerful pressure swept down from the sky, and then Duan Tianxiong and his eight companions arrived.
When they saw the fallen Saint Realm expert, their expressions turned extremely grim.
"Senior Brother Duan, something's not right. How could Junior Brother Mu have suddenly perished? Could it be that those demon saints of Beast Gorge Ridge made a move in secret?"
One of them looked at the fallen Saint Realm, his face extremely grave.
If Yong Xiaoyi is merely missing, and his death has not yet been confirmed...
This Saint Mu Ming has truly fallen.
Not only did he perish, but it also seemed that his Daoist aura had been stripped away, and the powerful energy within his body had been completely devoured.
This method is simply appalling.
Duan Tianxiong's expression wasn't good either; the events of the past few days had almost made him explode with anger.
Merchant ships were seized, stewards were killed, and the Saint Realm fell.
Connecting these events, even though Duan Tianxiong was already at the Middle Saint Realm, he couldn't help but feel extremely overwhelmed.
If the merchant ship's accident was a minor matter, then Mu Ming's death was a major one.
If Yong Xiaoyi to perish as well, he would have no way to explain himself when he returned.
"Damn it! How hateful!"
"Don't panic, everyone. Let me use a secret technique to deduce it."
"This saint wants to see just who dares to kill someone from the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association's Saint Realm."
"If it was indeed the work of the demon saint of Beast Gorge Ridge, then my Thousand Leaves Merchant Association will surely raze Beast Gorge Ridge to the ground."
Duan Tianxiong's voice was cold as he roared.
As the sound rang out, divine light swirled around him, and streams of Daoist principles flowed through him. He quickly formed several intricate hand seals.
The other eight people watched this scene without saying a word, their expressions grave.
Indeed, if it was truly the work of the Demon Saint of Beast Gorge Ridge, then this is incredibly audacious, utterly outrageous.
The Thousand Leaves Merchant Association is absolutely capable of flattening Beast Gorge Ridge.
Everyone was breathing heavily, and no one dared to speak.
Meanwhile, as Duan Tianxiong performed his hand seals, time itself seemed to freeze.
A moment later, the rules and principles of Dao evolved, and time seemed to reverse.
Soon, a blurry image appeared in the void.
However, when Duan Tianxiong and the others saw that scene, they couldn't help but frown.
Because in that scene, they only saw Mu Ming.
Saint Mu Ming first roared in terror at the void before him, then roared repeatedly in anger, and after a moment, he suddenly made his move.
But at that moment, a finger mark suddenly appeared in the empty space in front of Mu Ming.
The finger imprint swept across the void, seemingly about to Annihilation the heavens. With a single touch, Mu Ming was instantly reduced to a bloody mist.
Upon seeing this scene, Duan Tianxiong and the others couldn't help but shrink their pupils and gasp in shock.
They were all terrified.
What exactly is this method?
With a single finger strike, he effortlessly crushed a Saint to death. What terrifying power is that?
You have to understand, even the two leaders of their Thousand Leaves Merchant Association probably couldn't accomplish all this, right?
Most importantly, who was the person who made the move, and why did it not manifest in any form?
Was Duan Tianxiong simply not strong enough, or had his cultivation level already transcended this realm?
Confusion, bewilderment, shock, horror!
"What should we do now? Should we continue?"
Apart from Duan Tianxiong, the other eight Saint were somewhat terrified.
I was truly terrified.
It's truly remarkable that they've cultivated for millions of years to reach their current level of cultivation.
They didn't want to die, and they didn't want to die.
They would not be content to die in Beast Gorge Ridge.
Duan Tianxiong said in a deep voice, "Let's temporarily abandon the search for that guy. I will send a message to the Eighth Elder and ask him to come over in person."
"However, we can increase the bounty and continue sending people into Beast Gorge Ridge to search for that madman's whereabouts."
Duan Tianxiong spoke, he was also extremely unwilling.
There was no way around it; even though he had reached the Saint Realm, he was still afraid.
He didn't want to die either.
Given the methods the other party used to kill Mu Ming, killing Duan Tianxiong would be a piece of cake for them.
However, even after racking his brains, Duan Tianxiong still couldn't figure out who was responsible for this.
There are demon saints in Beast Gorge Ridge, but they're not that powerful, are they?
Could it be that a powerful Emperor Realm is hidden within Beast Gorge Ridge?
Ye Xuan had no idea what had happened on Duan Tianxiong's side. At this moment, he had caught up with Yue Mei and they were traveling together at a fast pace.
He also felt somewhat aggrieved.
I'm supposed to be someone with cheat codes, but now I'm being forced to run around everywhere, hiding and running. Is this reasonable?
Which protagonist is so tragic?
Ye Xuan felt frustrated, resentful, unwilling, and angry.
In the end, all that could be done was sigh.
Unfortunately, their strength was insufficient, but the people they had provoked were far too powerful; they had no choice but to run.
Furthermore, who exactly killed that person in the Saint Realm, and how was it done?
Seeing Ye Xuan's uncertain expression, Yue Mei didn't dare to utter a sound, and ran wildly while pointing the way.
She found it very exciting.
I've never experienced anything this exciting in all my years of cultivation.
She, a mere Nascent Spirit Transformation, was being hunted down by countless Divine Emperor, Venerable, Half-Saint, and even Saint.
Most importantly, she's not dead yet. Who the hell would believe that?
"Hahaha, I've finally found you! Looks like this saint's luck is on my side!"
Just then, a loud laugh suddenly rang out, and an old man stepped through the air and appeared in front of the two of them in an instant.
