If the Phoenix Clan's Nirvana talent was the most frightening, then the Soul Clan's Soul Splitting talent was the most troublesome. If they couldn't defeat their opponents, they would run away in different directions.
Saul's body instantly split into a dozen clouds of black mist and fled. It was exactly the same as the last time in Jiuhua City. However, Lu Xuan and the others had already suffered from this last time. This time, they had already predicted Saul's move and pinned their hopes on Ice Spirit.
Ice Spirit was also well-prepared. When she saw Saul fleeing, she instantly cast a spell and shouted, "Phoenix Locking Parasol Tree!"
In an instant, the entire space was completely sealed by Ice Spirit. Only those who were proficient in the Way of Space were capable of sealing off space. Dong Ruyi of the Illusion God Sect, whom Lu Xuan had encountered at the bottom of the seal, was an expert who was proficient in the Way of Space. Under her sealing, Little Tanuki was unable to escape using Void Travel at all, which put her at a great disadvantage.
The ice spirit's strength was naturally many times stronger than Dong Ruyi's. With her sealing the space, Saul's Divided Soul alone could not break it. The reason why the ice spirit was able to trap Saul ten thousand years ago was also because of this move.
Just when Lu Xuan and the others were about to use their respective magic to take out Saul's soul fragments, something unexpected happened. Saul's figure instantly appeared at the edge of the spatial barrier, and a blast of soul power hit the barrier. The seal, which had been intact before, was forcibly broken by Saul.
"I suffered from you 10,000 years ago. Do you think I will repeat the same mistake?" Saul said viciously, "Since you can't stop me today, I will turn your Heavenly Sword Continent upside down in the future! Next time, you won't be so lucky! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Saul turned into a cloud of black mist and disappeared quickly. No one could catch up with him.
"How could this be?" Lu Xuan looked at Ice Spirit in surprise.
Bing Ling's face was a little pale, and her body was on the verge of collapsing. She said in a low voice, "Saul has already predicted my moves. The Soul Splitting Technique just now was just a camouflage. In fact, his main soul is still there. He is just waiting for me to seal the space, and then he will take the opportunity to break the seal and escape. If my strength hadn't been damaged, even his Host Soul wouldn't have been able to break the seal. But now, I really don't have enough strength. "
"Damn it, I didn't expect that God's plan would fail. I still failed at the last step." Lu Xuan waved his fist in anger. He seemed to be unwilling to give up.
They had mobilized such a large force this time to help the Nine Dragons Dynasty repel the beast tide, and they also wanted to make Saul stay. The latter was their main objective, but they did not expect it to be all for naught in the end.
They had failed to capture Saul this time, but the next time he appeared, he might really turn the entire Heavenly Sword Continent upside down, just as he had said.
"Now that things have come to this, there's no point in saying anything. Besides, your Senior Sister Bing Ling has also tried her best. We can only say that this is fate," Ye Wuheng said as she patted Lu Xuan's shoulder.
Lu Xuan let out a long breath and threw away some negative emotions. He did not think about it for the time being. He looked at Bing Ling, who was in a bad state, and said, "Senior Sister, you should go back to the Phoenix Blood Sword to rest first. This time, it's all thanks to your help. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult to take care of Saul. As for what to do next, we will discuss it at length."
Bing Ling nodded and looked at Lu Xuan. She said, "Don't worry too much. Although we failed to capture Saul and gave him a chance to make a comeback, it also bought you a lot of time. It may not be a bad thing. Maybe next time, you can deal with him alone."
Lu Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart, but he did not show it. Until now, he had not found the way to enter the Extraordinary Realm. The enchantment that Ye Tian had left for the Heavenly Sword Continent was both an umbrella and a shackle at the same time.
After Bing Ling finished speaking, she returned to the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword. The power that Ling Jin received from the crowd had also dissipated. She had just forcibly exerted the power of a Demon Venerable, and now she was a bit mentally and physically exhausted. It could be considered as a moderate after-effect. But overall, she had still gained a lot. Not everyone had the opportunity to experience the power of the next realm in advance. This would play a crucial role in her future breakthroughs. Maybe she would have the opportunity to forcefully break through to the Demon Venerable Realm under the power of Ye Tian's enchantment.
The battle had ended, and everyone was a bit dispirited. In the battle just now, everyone had given their all. Especially Lu Xuan, his mood was a bit gloomy. After all, the outcome of this battle could not be considered good.
He looked down. Under Xia Zhengwen's command, the Nine Dragons Dynasty's morale was like a rainbow. In addition to the deterrence of Bing Ling and the departure of a large number of flying demonic beasts, the strength of the beast tide was far from what it used to be. Now, they had begun to retreat step by step, falling into chaos. It was only a matter of time before they were completely driven back to the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
But now, Lu Xuan's heart was full of pent-up anger, and he had no place to vent it. He didn't mind speeding up the process. With this thought in mind, Lu Xuan raised the Masked Dust Sword, and in an instant, he transformed into a god of death, charging straight into the beast tide. He wanted to let these demonic beasts know that no matter who instigated the beast tide, only death awaited them! Only by obediently returning to the Hundred Thousand Mountains would they be able to survive. That was where they belonged.
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the day of the battle with Saul, the main force of the beast tide had been repelled by the Nine Eastern Alliance and the Central Plains Allied Forces. The reason why it was said to be the Central Plains Allied Forces was because the Seven Demons School and Nanbo Ruo Temple had also contributed a lot in this battle.
However, although the main force of the beast tide had been repelled, there were still a few scattered demonic beasts wreaking havoc in the Central Plains. But they were no longer a threat. The three major forces of the Central Plains had begun to send their subordinates to clean up the surrounding areas. The reason why the beast tide was so strong was because they were grouped together. Once they lost their advantage in numbers, they were no match for the human warriors who obeyed orders.
When the beast tide was almost cleaned up, Lu Xuan and the others left Yanhui City. They were accompanied by the Three Evils, the leaders of the Seven Demons School. As for the senior monks of Nanbo Ruo, they had already left after paying a visit to Ye Wuhen. Nanbo Ruo still needed time to absorb the power of Nanbo Ruo, so she did not dare to stay outside for long.
Ouyang Cheng, the Demon Fiend, still followed Ye Wenjun with a straight face. Although he had previously pleaded for mercy on behalf of Hu Menglan and Gu Tianying and refused Ye Wenjun's opportunity to accept him as a registered disciple, Ouyang Cheng saw a glimmer of hope that Lu Xuan would not hold Hu Menglan and the others accountable for what they had done in the past.
Ye Wenjun was naturally indifferent to Ouyang Cheng. Whether or not he could become Ye Wenjun's registered disciple depended on his luck.
Lu Xuan did not participate in the welcoming banquet and celebration that Xia Xi had prepared for the Nine Eastern Alliance. Instead, he took the Azure Ship alone to Dongtai City, a place that more people now called Anping City.
