Chapter 318: Chapter 284: The Four Great Heavenly Saints
Everyone had failed to anticipate that the stunningly beautiful girl by Ye Chen's side could be so formidable!
With True Qi at the late stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, she possessed the invincible combat power of the Rotating Pill Realm, sweeping away three late-stage masters of the "Three Apertures Rotating Pill" with a single move!
What's more, if not for the top-grade defensive Treasure Instruments these three were equipped with, shielding them, it's feared that the beautiful girl's move just now could have completely obliterated Bai Wuchen and the other two!
To annihilate three late-stage masters of the Rotating Pill Realm with a single blow, isn't that the epitome of invincibility in the Rotating Pill Realm?!
Ye Chen, at the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, had already astounded everyone by holding his own against the three late-stage powerhouses of the Rotating Pill Realm in a one versus three conflict—and now, this strikingly beautiful girl, with whom Ye Chen shared an exceptionally close relationship, seemed even more formidable than Ye Chen himself!
In an instant, Jiang Yao, suspended in the void, drew the gaze of all present. Continue your adventure at ???
Amidst all those eyes, a good distance from Jiang Yao, the girl in the pale purple robe with an egg-shaped face and a gentle demeanor, who had been observing Jiang Yao, now harbored profound agitation within her eyes, "Incredible."
"She... she's younger than me, yet her strength is so much greater than mine!"
"Moreover, that move… it's very similar to the 'Ice Lightning Slash', a Divine Art used by my aunt when she took me through 'Mist Star Island'!"
Thinking this, the girl in the lilac robe became even more excited, "It appears I truly need to seize the opportunity to get to know this girl—she might indeed have some connection to my aunt!"
The girl in the lilac robe had her eyes shining brightly with excitement, and amongst the crowd, numerous hidden experts, including some real late-stage powerhouse of the Rotating Pill Realm who had flown to the arena upon hearing the battle, were all dumbfounded in the void.
On the plaza, descriptions of the combatants of the "Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Tournament" who made it onto the Spirit Leaderboard were announced, yet, there was no information about the strong contenders in the "Dragon Hidden List Tournament"; Heaven's Secret Sect hadn't released that list yet.
Many who hoped to seize the top three spots in the Dragon Hidden List Tournament were still concealed among the crowd.
But now, all those in hiding felt their hearts sink.
Because the strength demonstrated by both the girl and Ye Chen sent shivers down everyone's spines.
One wielded the invincible combat power of the Rotating Pill Realm, while the other was verging on that invincibility.
Just these two alone were definitely capable of competing with them for the top three spots of the Dragon Hidden List, and furthermore, the extraordinary ability of the beautiful girl seemed unmatched on the field; she was very likely to take first place in the Dragon Hidden List Tournament!
Invincibility in the Rotating Pill Realm!
This kind of existence was exceedingly rare; only second-tier sects like Heavenly Kui Sect had such beings in their ranks.
In other sects, anyone with such potential would have long been invited by the roaming envoys of Heavenly Saint Sect, or sent by their own sects to the Heavenly Saint Sect, rather than waiting for an occasion like the two major events to make a name for themselves.
Yet now, here in this plaza, they had witnessed a person with the invincible strength of the Rotating Pill Realm, who also happened to be a breathtakingly beautiful girl, which inevitably caused all present to inwardly feel astounded!
Amid the complexity of thoughts from everyone, the views of the disciples from the Southern Territory and the Western Wilderness were the most mixed.
The Southern Territory disciples had hardly recovered from their exhilaration at Ye Chen's display of power when the three mighty figures from the Western Wilderness arrived; they had been concerned about Ye Chen but unexpectedly, he managed to stand up to the three alone without losing ground!
What came as an even greater surprise to them was the girl by Ye Chen's side, who handled the exceptionally arrogant trio from the Western Wilderness without breaking a sweat!
Ye Chen, it turned out, had such a formidable girl by his side!
Jiang Yao?!
The disciples from the Southern Territory recalled the name Ye Chen had called out, etching it deeply in their memories—not only because of the girl's stunning beauty but even more so for her incredible martial strength!
"Brother Ye Chen... is too impressive!"
Among the people of the Southern Territory, the Shi Family brothers were filled with unstoppable admiration.
They, of course, saw the intimate relationship between Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.
Ye Chen was already powerful enough to earn their respect, and that Ye Chen also had the affection of such a powerful girl made the brothers envy him even more!
By contrast, the Western Wilderness side, with all the Demon Sects disciples, found their spirits utterly deflated.
They had originally believed they could easily crush the people of the Southern Territory, but an unanticipated Ye Chen emerged, repelling all their forces with his own strength.
With great anticipation, they had awaited Bai Wuchen, the strongest of their cohort to come to the Central Region, accompanied by two equally formidable companions, thinking that Brother Bai and his trio could help them regain their lost honor.
But to their dismay, Brother Bai and his group had also been defeated so miserably, even narrowly escaping death!
This time, they had truly provoked someone formidable!
All disciples from the Western Wilderness's Demon Sects understood that with the beautiful girl's invincible strength of the Rotating Pill Realm, any hope of turning the tables in their struggle against the Southern Territory was utterly dashed!
While everyone grappled with their complex thoughts, Jiang Yao in the void once again fixed her gaze upon Bai Wuchen, Feng Zimo, and Feng Zixu.
The murderous intent the trio previously directed at Ye Chen was something Jiang Yao could certainly feel.
The girl knew of Ye Chen's strength, so she wasn't worried on his behalf, but she found the trio's ill intent towards Ye Chen intolerable!
They might have resisted her attack with their defensive Treasure Instruments, but Jiang Yao had no intention of sparing these three and nurturing future threats.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In an instant, Jiang Yao's fair fingers moved slightly, and three ice-blue bolts of lightning formed once again at her fingertips, promptly launching towards those three.
Clearly, Jiang Yao was about to use the same Divine Art as before to deal with Bai Wuchen and the others!
The moment the ice-blue lightning shot out from Jiang Yao's fingertips, Bai Wuchen's face ashened as if he had seen a ghost. He had no more aces up his sleeve, and facing the Rotating Pill girl's lethal move, if struck again, he was certain to die!
His companions, Feng Zimo and Feng Zixu, were even more terrified.
They never expected to stir up such trouble; now both deeply regretted involving themselves in the conflict between the Southern Territory and the Western Wilderness and invoking such a disaster.
Their two supreme defensive Treasure Instruments had shattered and saved their lives. Now, faced with Jiang Yao's second attack, they would have to use their last resort to survive!
Thinking of the preciousness of their trump card, their hearts were filled with immense pain and reluctance, but Jiang Yao's ice-blue lightning strike was upon them again, and they had no choice but to use it!
Whoosh!
Just as Jiang Yao's ice-blue lightning strike was piercing through the void and closing in on Bai Wuchen's group, during the Demon Sect disciples' horrified screams, and as many warriors closed their eyes in anticipation, Feng Zimo suddenly slapped his Storage Waist Belt. In an instant, a small talisman paper shot out from his body.
The very moment the talisman paper shot out, it rapidly expanded to dozens of feet in length. In the blink of an eye, it surged with the formidable power of the Heavenly Saint, instantly blocking Jiang Yao's continued attack.
At the same time, the talisman paper imbued with the power of the Heavenly Saint radiated dazzling light, casting a peculiar Heavenly Saint Law Light into the sky.
Warriors familiar with this light screamed upon seeing the talisman: "Heavenly Saint Decree! The Feng brothers are about to summon a Heavenly Saint's projection!"
Boom!
Amid the screaming crowd, the peculiar law light shot from the void revealed an elderly figure. This elder stepped out from the projection of the Heavenly Saint Law Light and arrived before the trio of Feng Zimo, Feng Zixu, and Bai Wuchen.
Those who recognized the elder exclaimed: "'Heavenly Saint Wutuo', it's the 'Heavenly Saint Wutuo' from the Heavenly Kui Sect!"
As "Heavenly Saint Wutuo" descended before the Feng brothers, Ye Chen too flickered through the void, reaching Jiang Yao's side.
Ye Chen hadn't expected the two brothers to have a Heavenly Saint's projection at their disposal, let alone to have invoked a Heavenly Saint.
When Heavenly Saint Wutuo descended before the Feng brothers and started inquiring about the situation, the entire square fell deathly silent.
A Heavenly Saint indeed!
Those in the square, all being of the Rotating Pill Realm and Spirit Sea Realm, were naturally shaken to the core by the presence of a Heavenly Saint.
Everyone had not anticipated that a minor skirmish between the Southern Territory and the Western Wilderness would grow increasingly complex, drawing in not only the supreme Rotating Pill fighters but even a Heavenly Saint.
"Calling upon a Heavenly Saint suggests that the 'Heavenly Saint Wutuo' must have some significant connection with the Feng brothers."
"If the Heavenly Saint takes a stand for the Feng brothers, then Ye Chen and that girl are sure to be at a disadvantage!"
Many bystanders murmured to themselves.
"Brother Wutuo, weren't you cultivating at the Heavenly Kui Sect? What brings you all the way here?"
While everyone was uncertain about how the situation would unfold, laughter echoed once more from the void. Following that, three more Heavenly Saints flew towards the square.
Three more Heavenly Saints have arrived!
Clearly, these three Heavenly Saints had been nearby in the Immense Mountain Great Yue City, and they had descended upon this location because of "Heavenly Saint Wutuo's" appearance.
In this square, four Heavenly Saints had suddenly arrived!
And from the looks of it, these three archaic Heavenly Saints seemed to be well-acquainted, perhaps even close to "Heavenly Saint Wutuo."
This tightened the grip Ye Chen had on Jiang Yao's hand.
"Heavenly Saint Wutuo" had just finished telepathically inquiring about the matter from the Feng Clan brothers when he sensed the other three Heavenly Saints approaching. Raising his head, he saw them and laughed: "Ah, it's the 'Three Saints of Mantuo Mountain'. My two disciples used a Heavenly Saint Decree to seek my arrival here.
I had promised to save them thrice; this is the third Decree, so I decided to come have a look."
"Heavenly Saint Decree? These young fellows must be quite favored by you, Brother Wutuo, for you to have left them with a Heavenly Saint Decree," said the "Three Saints of Mantuo Mountain" as they descended and spoke to Heavenly Saint Wutuo with a smile.
The conversation between the four Heavenly Saints brought an eerie silence to the field, with only the four of them chatting and laughing.
However, the spectators all knew that the current situation put tremendous pressure on the side of the Southern Territory where Ye Chen stood.
When the four Heavenly Saints ceased their conversation and turned their gaze to Ye Chen and Jiang Yao in the center, everyone held their breath even tighter.
Soon, they would learn how these several Heavenly Saints would deal with Ye Chen and the girl beside him, as well as the entire Southern Territory.
"Truly young prodigies, you two youngsters possess such combat strength at your age, truly remarkable!"
Heavenly Saint Wutuo smiled as he spoke to Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.
But as soon as he finished his sentence, his expression darkened: "However, you've been excessively rough with my sect's disciples, haven't you?"
