Lu Xuan did not relax in the slightest even though he had succeeded. His sword hovered in the air, and all his muscles tensed up.
Lu Xuan scanned his surroundings inch by inch with his immense consciousness, trying to find traces of Saul's existence. He was not naive enough to think that Saul would be defeated by that one attack of his. That attack would have injured Saul at most, but it would not have been enough to kill him. Otherwise, Saul would have died at the hands of the ice spirit and Duan Hongchen a long time ago. There was no way he would have survived to this day.
However, Lu Xuan also felt that it was impossible for Saul to escape just like that. He had spent so much effort to create this situation. If he abandoned it just like that, then he would have suffered a double loss. Why would Saul make a losing trade?
It was not just Lu Xuan. Ye Wenjun and the others also did not move. They carefully searched for Saul's traces, but to their disappointment, Saul's traces had completely disappeared from this world. They did not know if his concealment abilities were too strong, or if he had truly left.
Everything was calm. It seemed that Saul had truly escaped. Lu Xuan could not help but exhale a breath of impure air. His fingers that were tightly gripping his Mengchen sword also relaxed slightly.
However, at this moment, something strange happened!
The black mist that had dissipated into the air seemed to be attracted by an extremely powerful force in an instant. It instantly gathered together and a figure appeared beside Ye Haoran without any warning. His fingers formed a claw and viciously clawed at Ye Haoran's chest. If he managed to grab hold of Ye Haoran's chest, Ye Haoran's stomach would probably be split open immediately.
"Second uncle, be careful!" Lu Xuan cried out in alarm. This was not the first time that Saul had played this trick. Previously, he had ambushed Lu Xuan in this way. Unfortunately, Lu Xuan's abilities far exceeded his expectations. Not only did he not gain any benefits, but he also fell into Lu Xuan's trap.
This time, Saul clearly learned his lesson. Not only did he not continue to ambush Lu Xuan, he did not even ambush Ye Wuhen and the others. Instead, he directly targeted Ye Haoran, who was the weakest. If there was a flaw in their Seven Saints Immortal-slaying Sword Formation, it would definitely be on Ye Haoran. Due to the limitations of his talent, Ye Haoran's abilities were clearly weaker than the six of them.
In the instant that Lu Xuan cried out, the Smog Sword had already left his hand. He threw it directly at Saul, who had reappeared. Like a ray of light, it pierced through space in an instant and shot out.
Saul felt an indescribable fear towards the Masked Dust Sword. Even now, he still didn't understand just what it was that had sucked away such a large portion of his soul force, even forcing him to cut off his own arm to completely break free.
Now that he saw the Smog Sword attack him again, Saul's heart trembled involuntarily. He seemed to feel the fear of having his soul power sucked away by the Smog Sword again.
Saul, who had originally planned on killing Ye Haoran with a single strike, subconsciously retracted some of his power. It was this slight difference that saved Ye Haoran's life.
Although he was weaker than the other six, he was not truly weak. In the face of death, Ye Haoran unleashed his greatest power.
Saul's claws completely ignored Ye Haoran's protective origin energy and tore it apart instantly. At this moment, Ye Haoran had already abandoned the sword in his hand. He clenched his fists in front of him, using them to resist Saul's fatal claws.
Crack crack crack!
The scalp-numbing sound of bones breaking rang out, accompanied by a low howl that Ye Haoran tried to forcefully suppress but could not.
Boom!
Ye Haoran's body was pushed dozens of meters away by Saul's palm. If Saul's strength had continued for just a breath's time, it would have been enough to stab into Ye Haoran's chest like a black tiger digging out the heart, tearing out that living, bloody heart.
However, Saul did not dare to stay for even half a breath's time. This was because the Smog Sword, which he viewed as a true demon, was already quickly approaching. If he really wanted to kill Ye Haoran, he would probably lose half his life. In Saul's eyes, this was undoubtedly not worth it. In his eyes, half his life was worth more than the lives of everyone present.
Ye Ruida immediately flew out and caught Ye Haoran, who had been sent flying by Saul's palm. Although Lu Xuan controlled the Smog Sword and tried to chase after Saul, with Saul's defenses, he could not succeed. He could only give up.
Ye Ruida quickly reached out and tapped several points on Ye Haoran's body, sealing off some of his acupuncture points. Then, he slowly poured in a thread of origin energy to help stabilize his meridians. However, seeing Ye Ruida's tightly furrowed brows, it was clear that Ye Haoran's injuries were not optimistic.
After making sure that Ye Haoran's injuries had stabilized, Ye Ruida waved his hand to summon a warrior of the Jiuhua Alliance to take Ye Haoran away from the battlefield to rest.
"How is Haoran?" Ye Wuheng approached and asked in a low voice.
Ye Ruida pursed his lips and shook his head. "His life is not in danger, but the meridians and bones in his hands are all broken. If he wants to hold a sword in the future, I am afraid …"
Ye Wuheng could not help but swing a fist in the air. She did not expect Saul to be so cruel. Although he did not take Ye Haoran's life, he had almost completely cut off his cultivation.
"If I don't get revenge, I am not your elder brother!"
Ye Wuheng's gloomy eyes looked at the perpetrator in the distance. At this moment, Saul was floating in the air far away. He looked at the crowd and sneered. "He is lucky to be alive. However, that formation of yours requires seven people. Now that one of you is gone, what can the six of you do even if you're strong? "
"Coward, eat my sword!"
Ye Wuheng shouted. His figure flashed, and he thrust his sword toward Saul without any fancy moves.
"Father, be careful!" Lu Xuan hurriedly reminded him. Then, he quickly followed and supported Saul from the side.
When one person moved, the other six followed. The other four attacked at the same time, following Lu Xuan and his son to deal with Saul.
However, facing the six people who did not form a tactical matrix, Saul obviously did not take them seriously. Streams of inexhaustible soul power shot out from his hands. He attacked the six people separately, but he was not at a disadvantage at all. He even seemed to be at ease.
During the fierce battle, Lu Xuan realized that choosing this place as the battlefield was really not in their favor. Because as Saul fought, he unscrupulously absorbed the ownerless soul power that escaped from the battlefield below. It was as if he had an inexhaustible source of energy. He was not afraid to fight a battle of attrition with Lu Xuan and the others.
Lu Xuan and the others, on the other hand, had their Origin Power depleted with every use. If this were to continue, Saul would probably not even need to unleash any ultimate moves to completely exhaust them.
Lu Xuan's face was solemn. He shouted in a low voice, "Help me break through Saul's soul power blockade. Let me get close to him!"
"Xuan 'er, you want to fight him alone? That won't work. " Ye Wenjun frowned and said. He used to be an all-powerful person, but now that he felt Saul's strength, he already knew that no one present could be a match for Saul alone.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. We can't let him lead us by the nose."
Hearing this, Ye Wenjun thought for a while and then nodded heavily. "Okay, then I'll open the way for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Wenjun's aura began to rise. The strong sword intent seemed to pierce through the sky. This Sword Demon, who had been remembered by the Heavenly Sword Continent for hundreds of years, was finally going to show his true strength!
