"Ye Wenyan, what do you think are your chances of winning against Saul?" Sikong Zhengqing squinted at Saul, who was preparing to make a move.
"Heh, chances of winning …" Ye Wenyan smiled helplessly. "It's not that I want to belittle him, but I'm afraid we have no chance at all. He's a Half-Step Soul Sage, comparable to the peak of the Extraordinary Realm … You and I have only touched the threshold of the Extraordinary Realm. We will never be able to break through that barrier."
"Yeah." Sikong Zhengqing could not help but sigh. "I know I can't win, but I have no choice but to fight. This is not my way of life. But since things have come to this, I have to do my best and leave the rest to fate. Is the Sky Sword Continent really going to fall because of Saul?"
Ye Wenyan turned to look at Sikong Zhengqing. "How can you fight to the death with your current state of mind? Forget it, if I don't give you some confidence, you won't be able to use even half of your strength. In the end, it'll be a waste of my effort to come to the Octagonal Holy Palace."
Hearing Ye Wenyan's words, everyone realized that Ye Wenyan had gone to the Octagonal Holy Palace to invite Sikong Zhengqing. After Sikong Zhengqing's confrontation with Ye Wenyan the last time, he was greatly moved. After returning, he went into seclusion and didn't even know that Sikong Qing had betrayed the Human Race. If Ye Wenyan hadn't broken into Sikong Zhengqing's seclusion, Sikong Zhengqing would probably still be in the dark.
Sikong Zhengqing looked at Ye Wenyan in confusion. He did not know what Ye Wenyan meant and where did this confidence come from. Though he was invited by Ye Wenyan to the Illusionary God Sect to deal with Saul, he had no confidence at all. Not only did he have no confidence in himself, he had no confidence in the entire Sky Sword Continent. However, there were things that people should do and should not do. Whether it was for the human race of the Sky Sword Continent or for the Octagonal Holy Palace built by the ancestors of the Sikong Clan, he had to fight. Just as he said, do your best and leave the rest to fate.
"In the entire Sky Sword Continent, only the Ye Clan has the chance to kill Saul." Ye Wenyan smiled.
Sikong Zhengqing was taken aback. His eyes swept across the Ye Clan and stopped on Ye Wuheng for two breaths. In the end, he looked at Lu Xuan.
Sikong Zhengqing frowned and said, "Eighth Level Grand Void Stage? What's his chance of winning?"
"Because Xuan 'er is the only person in the Heavenly Sword Continent who can break through to the Transcendent Realm. We can only do our best to delay Saul. The only person who can kill Saul is him. If you believe me, just do as I say."
Sikong Zhengqing looked deeply at Ye Wenyan and smiled. "Naturally, I believe you. The one who understands you the most is your enemy. The Sword Scholar Ye Wenyan never fights a battle he's not confident of winning. "
Ye Wenyan nodded and did not speak to him anymore. Instead, he looked at Lu Xuan and said, "Xuan 'er, this place is filled with soul force. Are you confident in becoming a Ten Star Divine Talisman Master?"
He knew what Ye Wenyan meant. Ye Wenyan obviously wanted him to make a breakthrough in the midst of battle and reach the Transcendent Realm in one go. However, cultivation was never something that could be done by just talking. He had only barely touched the threshold of a Nine-star Divine Talisman Master with the help of Saul's Soul Refinement of the Heavens and Earth. It would be very, very difficult for him to make a breakthrough to become a 10-star Divine Talisman Master.
The Soul Refinement Chapter of the Taiyi Fusion Skill had a few forbidden techniques that could improve one's strength in a short period of time. However, the improvement would be unstable and could not be used to break through to the Transcendent Realm.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lu Xuan understood the expectation in their eyes. He immediately gritted his teeth and nodded firmly. "Yes!"
"Alright." Ye Wenyan nodded and then sighed softly. He patted Lu Xuan's shoulder and said, "I know it's difficult, but there's no time. Saul's power has been established. In this battle, either he dies or the Human Clan perishes. As long as you can break through to the Ten Star Divine Talisman Master, I, your great-grandfather, will help you become an Transcendent!"
Lu Xuan did not ask for the reason. He nodded and said no more. He immediately sat cross-legged and made a gesture with both hands. Countless soul force was absorbed into the Soul Lake, and the lake water surged again. Fortunately, the Taiyi Fusion Skill was a cultivation method created by Ye Tian. Not only was it fast in absorption, but it was also very efficient in washing away the impurities. Otherwise, with the way Lu Xuan was absorbing, just the remnant thoughts in the soul force would be enough to make Lu Xuan fall into Qi deviation in an instant.
"Little Tanuki, stand guard for Xuan 'er," Ye Wenyan instructed again.
Little Tanuki naturally took up the responsibility. With a sweep of its tail, it squatted down beside Lu Xuan. Although it was small, even Saul would not be able to break through its defense in a short time. According to the Human Clan's classification of strength, a five-tailed Dragon Fox was already comparable to an existence at the peak of the Grand Virtual Realm. In the Dragon Fox clan, six tails were Transcendent, seven tails were Saints, eight tails were Gods, and nine tails were Divine Kings. In the Heaven Domain, it was a legend.
Then, Ye Wenyan called Ye Wuhen over and whispered a few words in her ear. Ye Wuhen looked at Ye Wenyan with a complicated expression, but in the end, she still nodded and left. No one knew what she was going to do.
After making all these arrangements, Ye Wenyan looked at Sikong Zhengqing again and smiled. "The next step is up to you and me. The more time we buy, the higher our chances of winning."
Sikong Zhengqing looked at Lu Xuan in confusion and nodded. Although he did not know what Ye Wenyan was up to, it did not stop him from trusting Ye Wenyan. Although the two of them were old enemies, it was precisely because they had fought each other for their entire lives that he trusted this old rival of his when they were united against an external enemy.
Saul did not attack when Ye Wenyan and Sikong Zhengqing arrived because he needed to recover his strength. Ling Jin's burst of power just now had him in a fluster, and he was almost defeated. Fortunately, Ling Jin was only half a step into the Devil Venerable Realm and had not truly entered the Devil Venerable Realm. Otherwise, it would be hard to say who would win. After all, Saul was just an ordinary member of the Soul Clan, but Ling Jin was the most powerful Celestial Devil of the Devil Clan. Moreover, she was from the Celestial Devil Clan.
However, Ye Wenyan and the other two obviously wouldn't give him any more time to recover. Although their goal was to stall for time, they also had different plans for doing so. Dealing with a Saul in peak condition was definitely much more difficult than dealing with a Saul who had exhausted a lot of energy.
With a swoosh, two streams of light, one green and one grey, suddenly shot towards Saul. Sikong Zhengqing's energy was sharp, while Ye Wenyan's sword energy was gentle, gentle, yet firm, just like his title as a Sword Scholar.
Saul licked his lips and said, "Are you so eager to die? Then I'll fulfill your wish! "
Saul made a grabbing motion with both hands, and two balls of soul power shot out toward the two of them at the same time. Ye Wenyan's sword slashed down from the sky, instantly breaking Saul's soul power attack. Sikong Zhengqing, on the other hand, used the Sikong Clan's secret technique, Heavenly Green Wood Force. The green Qi directly blasted the ball of soul power into pieces, and the remaining force continued to rush toward Saul.
The two strongest humans of the Heavenly Sword Continent were up against Saul, a foreigner whose strength had been above everyone else since the moment he was born.
