This attack, which came without any warning, was extremely shocking. A familiar scene appeared once again. The short and fat innkeeper stretched out his chubby hand and pointed at Li Yue's forehead.
Before his finger even reached Li Yue, a terrifying killing intent surged into his mind. It was as if it wanted to freeze Li Yue's soul.
The short and fat innkeeper looked at this scene with a cold smile in his eyes. He seemed to have seen Li Yue's forehead being pierced and his primordial spirit being destroyed.
But in the next second, the entire world shook. In a trance, the innkeeper felt as if his hand had frozen. No, everything in the inn was moving extremely slowly. It felt as if time and space had been divided into two parts. One part was what he had sensed, and the other part was reality. They were separated.
He instinctively wanted to open his mouth, but when he realized it, his body's reaction was several times slower.
And this feeling was all too familiar.
"Time …"
Li Yue smiled coldly. Unknowingly, he had appeared behind the short and fat old man. He put his hand on the old man's neck and pressed down on his throat.
"Although the Secret Character of Xing is very powerful and can interfere with time, it's not the only thing in this world that has such an effect. To me, this secret technique of yours may be able to sneak up on me the first time, but the second time … "
As he spoke, Li Yue fiercely pressed down. The chubby innkeeper's neck was completely broken, and his entire spine was pulled out.
Blood spurted out and covered the ground.
All of this happened too quickly. From the innkeeper's sneak attack to Li Yue's counterattack, it only took an instant. It was so fast that many of the guests in the inn did not know what was going on before they saw this bloody scene.
"This aura, is it from an expert at the Saint level?"
"How can this innkeeper be a Saint? I've been to this inn so many times that I don't know his background. It's impossible."
"Stupid, of course it's someone else in disguise. The real innkeeper would have died long ago."
"This is a battle between two Saints. Furthermore, to use such a method, could it be that he's an assassin who's proficient in the Dao of Assassination? He actually dodged the sneak attack of a Saint Assassin and was killed instead. This... "
In the inn, many people were whispering to themselves, but they did not dare to speak loudly. Compared to the existence of the Saint Realm, although these people had their own origins, the difference was too great.
He could kill them with a sneeze, so how could they dare to act rashly?
Very few people even opened their mouths to discuss. Many guests did not even dare to make a sound. They held their breaths and did not even dare to move.
…
On Li Yue's side, after he grabbed Duan Shisheng's neck, he didn't pay attention to the whispering onlookers. Instead, he directly slapped Duan Shisheng's head with his palm. He poured his spiritual power into it and sealed Duan Shisheng's primordial spirit inside. Then, he carried the head and left the inn step by step.
Walking out the door, Li Yue's body moved, directly turning into a streak of divine light, shooting out of Border Pass City.
It was not until a long time after he left that many people in the inn breathed a sigh of relief, and more discussions followed.
"A confrontation between two Saints. One of them was captured in a breath. This method is simply terrifying."
"This matter is not small. I'm afraid someone has already informed the City Lord Mansion."
"Yes, we have to inform them. After all, it's related to two Saints, and one of them may be a Saint of the Killer Divine Dynasty. It's a big deal."
Everyone discussed among themselves. As they breathed and looked at each other, they could see the joy and fear in each other's eyes. They were really lucky. If it wasn't an assassination but a direct battle, everyone here would probably die. They would die from the shockwaves of the battle between Saints. Not many people in the entire Jie Guan City would be able to survive.
In the midst of lingering fear, some smart people stared at the headless corpse of the Saint on the counter and the red blood all over the floor. A touch of greed flashed across their eyes.
The entire body of a Saint had long since transformed. It could be said that every part of his flesh was a precious treasure and a great tonic that could be used to refine great medicine. It was even to the extent that through the profoundness of the various Dao markings in the remnant body of the Saint, one could peek into his cultivation method, divine ability, and so on. Perhaps one would be able to comprehend it and improve one's cultivation.
This Saint's corpse was too important. Smart people knew that they would not be able to obtain it. The corpse would definitely fall into the hands of the City Lord Mansion in Border Pass City.
However, even if they could not obtain the corpse, what about the Saint's blood that was sprayed on the ground? This was also a great tonic. Every drop of blood was crystal clear, like round pearls that fell on the ground. They condensed and did not scatter, shining with divine light.
Thinking of this, some people moved and directly rushed towards the counter ….
…
On Li Yue's side, at this time, he was already flying high in the sky, getting further and further away from Border Pass City.
After flying for nearly ten minutes, he estimated that he was about a thousand miles away. Even if there were still killers coming, they should not be able to catch up in a short period of time. He looked down and found a quiet small hill to land on.
The small hill was covered with gravel. Li Yue flew down with the bloody head of the Saint of Slaughter and stood on the ground.
At this moment, the head was connected to a long blood-colored spine. Among the red blood stains, one could see the eerie white bone. It was still dripping with blood, looking exceptionally disgusting.
Standing beside a big protruding rock, he lifted the head. With a move of his hand, a wave of magic power was immediately injected into it, breaking the seal.
"Pu!"
As soon as the seal was broken, he saw the head suddenly open its eyes. It opened its mouth and directly shot out a pitch-black ray of light, slicing toward his arm and head.
"Stupid."
Li Yue snorted coldly. This kind of despicable sneak attack had been used once or twice, and they actually naively thought that the sneak attack would succeed?
For this reason, he did not even move. The surface of his body directly trembled with a chaotic light, instantly shattering the black ray of light, turning it into specks of light and disappearing.
The head of the Saint of Slaughter trembled crazily. In the immortal foundation between the head's eyebrows, a blood-colored primordial spirit kept struggling, wanting to escape.
"Give up. With your current state, you can't escape from my restraint at all. Today, you will definitely die."
Hearing Li Yue's words, the head's eyes were cold. It stared coldly at Li Yue, but it did not say a word. It just looked like it wanted to use its gaze to penetrate Li Yue millions of times.
Li Yue did not care.
In his eyes, the Saint of Slaughter who had killed countless people in the past had already become a prisoner. Today, he would definitely die. The reason why he did not immediately kill him was naturally because he wanted to ask something.
"Tell me, who sent you to assassinate me?"
He asked.
However, the Saint of Slaughter did not say a word. He continued to stare coldly at Li Yue.
"I know that you are very sullen in your heart. You are so sullen that you did not even have the chance to display your original strength before your body was destroyed and your primordial spirit was imprisoned."
"You are not convinced, you are not willing, but so what?"
"The Secret Character of Xing is unparalleled in the world. It interferes with time and has allowed you to roam freely for too long. For a Saint like me whose cultivation base is inferior to yours, you have never put me in your eyes. From the first time you sneak attacked me, I saw through this."
As Li Yue spoke, he slowly moved his face closer to the Saint of Slaughter's ear and said word by word, "You are too confident. You are confident that you can kill me. That is why you have ended up like this."
"And today, I believe you know that you will definitely die. So, do you want to choose a quick death, or do you want to try some of my little tricks and then die in pain?"
The Saint of Slaughter was still silent. He stared at Li Yue without moving his eyes.
Just like that, almost a minute passed. Li Yue nodded at him, "Looks like you have chosen the latter."
Li Yue was not too surprised by the Saint of Slaughter's performance.
That was why he had brought him here. He was prepared to use a soul-searching technique to search through all the memories in his soul.
The Saint of Slaughter's cultivation level was very high. Moreover, he had killed countless people. His will was extremely terrifying. Ordinary hypnosis techniques would probably be useless against him. Li Yue did not bother to try. Instead, he chose another path, which was soul-searching.
"I wonder how long he can last. I hope he can last a little longer."
The soul-searching was extremely painful. The feeling of the soul being crushed and all the mysteries in the depths of the soul being exposed was enough to break a person down.
As a result, ordinary cultivators would not be able to last very long before their soul or primordial spirit collapsed. However, the Saint of Slaughter's cultivation level was very high and his will was very tough. He might not be able to endure it, but it should not be a problem for him to last a little longer.
Without saying anything else, Li Yue directly made his move.
He lifted his palm and directly covered the remaining head of the Saint of Slaughter. His dharma power erupted.
…
After a long while, Li Yue finally loosened his grip. Only the head of an old man with an extremely twisted face was left on the spot. That was the head of the Killer Saint. He had already reverted to his original appearance. There was no breath left, and his primordial spirit had completely collapsed.
After all, the pain of soul-searching was extremely terrifying. Li Yue's soul-searching technique was crude and simple, but the pain was even more intense. The Saint of Slaughter endured for nearly ten minutes before his soul dissipated. It was very rare.
Li Yue was very satisfied with the results of the soul-searching. Most of the information he wanted to know had been obtained. Although there were still many memories that he had not obtained, it was enough.
"As I expected, the reason why the Saint of Slaughter of the Heavenly Court attacked me was because of the people of the Heaven Lack Holy Land."
There was no surprise. The result was the same as he had expected.
There were no other people or external enemies. It was the Heaven Lack Holy Land.
Moreover, the Heaven Lack Holy Land had not only received a huge reward through the Heavenly Court. The other two major Saint of Slaughter organizations, Hell and World of Man, had also received a huge reward.
"Heaven Lack Holy Land, now the grudge between us is even deeper."
Li Yue sneered and threw away the head of the Saint of Slaughter in his hand. Then, with a flash of light, he directly flew towards the Eastern Wilderness.
