When an expert makes a move, it's easy to tell.
Although Ye Wenyan and Sikong Zhengqing had been away from the Sky Sword Continent for many years, their cultivation hadn't fallen one bit. Although they hadn't become Transcendents after a hundred years of cultivation, it was only because of the barrier that Ye Tian had set up.
It was also because of this barrier that they were able to condense their Great Virtual Realm strength to perfection. Forget about the Sky Sword Continent, even in the Qing-Yun Region, they could be said to be invincible below the Transcendents. Even some Transcendents who were greedy and didn't have a solid foundation might not be able to defeat them.
Now, the two of them joined forces, attacking Saul from the left and right. In just a few short moves, they were evenly matched. Of course, this was also because Saul didn't use his full strength. If he used the same aura that he used against Ling Jin, Ye Wenyan and Sikong Zhengqing would probably be at a disadvantage.
However, Saul didn't dare to do such a thing. Although he had the advantage of cultivation and could crush the people of the Celestial Sword Continent, after so many battles with the Jiuhua Alliance and Ling Jin's performance, he knew that the humans of the Celestial Sword Continent might seem weak, but if he underestimated them, he would fail miserably.
Previously, there was Ling Jin. Now, there was Ye Wenyan and Sikong Zhengqing. Who knew what kind of monsters would show up later? At the very least, the existence of Bing Ling was a threat to him no less than Ling Jin.
Moreover, Saul still had Lu Xuan on his mind. Although Lu Xuan's cultivation wasn't too outstanding compared to the others, Lu Xuan's many tricks were enough to make Saul wary. Whether it was the sword technique that could directly injure the soul, or the sword technique that was indomitable and irresistible, they were all a great deterrent to Saul.
When Ye Wenyan and Sikong Zhengqing saw that Saul didn't want to fight to the death with them and was instead trying to avoid them, focusing on recovering his strength, Ye Wenyan and Sikong Zhengqing didn't push him too hard. They just kept hindering Saul, not letting him recover in peace. Both of them wanted to delay for a certain amount of time, but time was definitely advantageous to both of them.
Saul was like a fish tank that was filled with water. At the moment, he was merely slowly replenishing the water in order to fill up the fish tank. On the other hand, Lu Xuan was like a growing carp. All it would take was a moment for him to leap over the dragon gate and smash the fish tank.
It was a pity that Ling Jin was injured and Lu Xuan was focused on cultivating. As a result, the Seven Saint Fairy Extermination Sword Array could not be completed. Otherwise, it would have forced Saul to use more of his strength.
"Father, should we go and help?" Ye Haoran could not help but ask as he watched Saul and Ye Wenyan fight.
Ye Ruida shook his head and said, "No need. Right now, Saul has no intention to fight to the death. Ancestor and Sikong Zhengqing also did not use their full strength. This is a balance between the two. Even if you and I go, we won't be able to do anything to Saul. We'll be wasting our strength and might even be tricked by Saul."
After a pause, he continued, "Instead of that, why don't we rest and build up our strength? Once the ancestor and Sikong Zhengqing are exhausted, we can provide support in time. We won't fall into Saul's trap."
Ye Haoran nodded, "That's true."
Then, he also sat down cross-legged and quietly recovered. However, his mind was still on the battlefield.
At this moment, there was finally a slight movement. It wasn't any change in the situation on Saul's side, but Lu Xuan had made a breakthrough.
Previously, with the help of Saul's Soul Refining World, Lu Xuan had absorbed a large amount of Soul Energy. Now that he had completely opened up his mind and digested the Soul Energy, he had finally stepped into the door of a Nine Star Divine Talisman Master. A Nine Star Divine Talisman Master was already comparable to the Great Perfection of the Grand Void Stage. It was only a step away from the Pinnacle Stage. There was not a single person like that in the entire Sky Sword Continent!
If it wasn't for Lu Xuan benefiting from the Taiyi Fusion Technique and various opportunities, he wouldn't have been able to make a breakthrough so quickly. Speaking of which, it was his Spirit Refinement Realm cultivation that was holding Lu Xuan back.
His Body Refining Divine Rune had already reached the Five Star level. If he made another breakthrough, he would reach the Six Star level, which was equivalent to the Transcendent Stage. His Soul Energy had also started to make a breakthrough towards the Ten Star Divine Talisman Master level. Only his Spirit Refinement Realm cultivation had not even reached the ninth level of the Grand Void Stage. However, Ye Wenyan had previously boasted that he would help Lu Xuan become Transcendent. He must have his own methods. Therefore, Lu Xuan wasn't too worried about this.
The only thing that was limiting him now was the strength of his Soul Energy. Although he had already reached the Nine Star level, there was still a huge gap between the Nine Star and the Ten Star level. In the past, even if Lu Xuan was given a year or two, he might not dare to boast about making a breakthrough. Although he had benefited from the Soul Energy region created by Saul and his cultivation speed had greatly increased, the time left for him was extremely short. It was so short that it was almost impossible for him to complete this task.
"Hmm?" Saul's gaze suddenly shifted towards Lu Xuan. When Lu Xuan was making a breakthrough, the fluctuation of Soul Energy was instantly detected by Saul. However, he only paid attention to it for a moment before giving up on it.
A Nine Star Divine Talisman Master was too weak for a Half-Step Soul Sage like Saul. It was not even as threatening as Ye Wenyan and Sikong Zhengqing.
In terms of the Spirit Refinement Realm, perhaps he was a little afraid of Lu Xuan. After all, those two sword techniques were very extraordinary. However, in terms of the Spirit Refinement Realm, he was not afraid of Lu Xuan at all. With the strength of his Soul, he would not believe that Lu Xuan could harm him with his Soul Energy.
From Saul's point of view, Lu Xuan's current cultivation of soul power was most likely to disturb him. After all, Lu Xuan's previous swallowing of the soul power of the Soul Refining the Heavens and Earth had indeed affected him somewhat. As a result, the power of the Soul Refining the Heavens and Earth had been greatly weakened, allowing Ling Jin to condense the Yin Yang Diagram in time.
Time passed bit by bit. Lu Xuan's cultivation did not stop, and the people of the Nine Eastern Alliance continued to recover. Even Ye Wenjun, who had expended a lot of energy, had recovered a lot of his strength. At this moment, he seemed to be eager to give it a try.
However, Ling Jin still had not recovered her strength. That wave of explosion had caused her quite a bit of damage, and she had completely overdrawn her strength. The power of the Yin Yang Diagram was not something that she could control at will. She had injured herself eight hundred times as much as she wanted to.
However, there was also bad news. As Saul fought, he recovered. His strength was almost at the level he had been before his battle with Ling Jin. He no longer avoided Ye Wenyan and Sikong Zhengqing like before. Instead, his attacks gradually increased. Before they knew it, the initiative of the battle was back in Saul's hands. The people of the Nine Eastern Alliance who had been watching the battle all stopped to recover. They were ready to attack at a moment's notice. They could already smell an explosion in the air. The flames of war could break out at any moment.
"Keke, I've let you two insects live for so long. You've been let off easy. Now, I'll show you what I can do!" Saul laughed harshly. His attacks suddenly changed. He pushed Ye Wenyan and Sikong Zhengqing away. His hands trembled, and thick, black chains appeared in his hands.
At the same time, the surrounding soul energy began to condense. Thousands of strands of soul energy shot toward the two like lightning. This was Saul's specialty, Myriad Threads Soul Extraction!
