Chapter 278 Elder of the Divine Origin Sect
"Should we retreat first?"
Yan Daozong looked at the black-clad man in the sky and said in a low voice that the pressure he felt from the man was extremely strong. He had never encountered such an opponent before. Just by facing his aura, he felt that he was no match for him.
Shen Yue's eyes turned cold and sharp, and he said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid we can't back down."
Upon hearing this, the Yandao Sect narrowed their eyes, preparing for battle.
The man in black in the sky looked mesmerized, breathing freely and enjoying the joy of new life.
He suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Yue and the other two, startling them so much that they instinctively took a step back.
"Thanks to you all, I was able to be resurrected. I will grant you a great opportunity to become my servants!"
The man in black grinned menacingly, and streaks of blood appeared on his fair face, with veins bulging around his eyes, as if he were about to transform into a demon.
Shen Yue looked up at him and asked, "Who are you? If you want to take us as slaves, you should at least introduce your background, right?"
The man in black smiled arrogantly and said, "I am Wei Tianxiong, an elder of the Heavenly Nether Sea God Yuan Sect!"
Tianming Sea?
Elder of the Divine Origin Sect?
Shen Yue and the other two were secretly surprised. This person had no connection with the Taijue Sect?
They realized they were in big trouble, but they didn't know how powerful the Divine Origin Sect was.
Bai Ning'er was filled with regret. If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have gone to pick up that treasure underground, which resulted in triggering the mechanism and releasing Wei Tianxiong.
"Since you are an elder of the Divine Origin Sect, how come you are in the ruins of the Taijue Sect?" Shen Yue continued to ask.
Wei Tianxiong's face instantly turned ugly. He snorted coldly and said, "It's all because of those guys. This matter is not over. Once I recover from my injuries and regain my cultivation, I will definitely slaughter their entire island!"
island?
Shen Yue caught this key word.
Wei Tianxiong's expression returned to normal. He stared at Shen Yue and said, "Your cultivation is not bad, it's enough. What's your name?"
"Shen Yue, if we follow you, what will you do next?" Shen Yue replied.
Neither Yandao Sect nor Bai Ning'er uttered a word. Their experience in the martial world was far inferior to Shen Yue's, so they could only remain still and try not to hold back.
Wei Tianxiong laughed and said, "Naturally, it's to recuperate. The decline of the Nine Provinces is just right for me to rest and recuperate. By the way, which sect or school do you come from? Are you from the Heavenly Nether Sea, or are you native cultivators?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yue knew that he could no longer try to subtly probe the matter.
He noticed that Wei Tianxiong's smile had become playful, and he understood that Wei Tianxiong had guessed his intentions, but simply didn't care about his thoughts.
It seems a battle is inevitable.
"When the battle begins, if I can hold him back, you should escape. If I die too quickly, you should pretend to surrender to him and act according to the situation."
Shen Yue's voice reached the ears of Yan Daozong and Bai Ning'er, causing their expressions to change slightly.
The art of sound transmission!
Before they could react, Shen Yue suddenly drew his wooden sword from his waist, unleashing a burst of unrestrained sword intent that soared into the sky, causing the cliff beneath their feet to tremble.
When Wei Tianxiong saw him draw his sword, he was not surprised; instead, he laughed even more mockingly.
"Your sword intent is impressive. Judging from your cultivation level, you should be at the initial stage of the Spiritual Consciousness Realm. However, among all the Spiritual Consciousness Realm cultivators in the world, few can match your sword intent. You are qualified to be my disciple."
Although Wei Tianxiong's words were full of admiration, his smile seemed to be mocking.
He looked young, and even with his white hair, he didn't look as old as Shen Yue, but he could tell that Shen Yue was under a hundred years old.
Anyone under 100 years old is considered a junior in his eyes.
Shen Yue took a step forward, leaping into the air, and walked towards Wei Tianxiong.
"What? You really want to attack me? Can't you sense that even though I'm seriously injured, my vitality is still far beyond what you can match?" Wei Tianxiong's smile turned cold, and his killing intent erupted, enveloping the mountains.
Shen Yue was not afraid at all and pressed forward step by step.
Although he was not afraid, Yan Daozong and Bai Ning'er were frozen by Wei Tianxiong's killing intent and could not move.
"This guy..."
Yan Daozong's eyes widened, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
He didn't think Wei Tianxiong was too strong; he believed Wei Tianxiong must have heard Shen Yue's telepathic communication and was preventing them from escaping. At that moment, he felt incredibly frustrated.
When he was at Tianxuan Mountain, he felt invincible, but since his defeat by Shen Yue and joining Qingxiao Sect, he found himself becoming mediocre.
He felt it wasn't the fault of martial arts, but rather his own lack of understanding.
If he could become stronger as quickly as Shen Yue, he wouldn't be so helpless now.
An unprecedented sense of regret welled up in Yan Daozong's heart, making the world around him seem blurry.
Bai Ning'er wasn't as devastated as Yan Daozong. He was filled with anxiety and worry. He wasn't afraid of dying himself, but he was afraid of Shen Yue sacrificing himself.
Shen Yue is extremely important to Qingxiao Sect and has made countless contributions to the sect. If he dies here, how can he face the sect leader?
For some reason, Zhang Ping's words rang in his ears:
"That's right, you're lucky, but that doesn't mean those who follow you will be lucky. No one can be lucky forever. If one day you drag others down with you, you'll regret it."
He thought Zhang Ping was just saying things out of anger, deliberately trying to provoke him, but little did he know that Zhang Ping's words would come true.
Just as he was regretting it, Shen Yue drew his sword.
With a flash of sword light in the mountains, Shen Yue arrived in front of Wei Tianxiong in one step.
boom--
The vast sword energy intertwined with lightning, yet it could not touch Wei Tianxiong.
Wei Tianxiong stood in front of Shen Yue without even raising his hand, using only his burst of Yuan Qi to block Shen Yue's sword energy.
"Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Wei Tianxiong stared at Shen Yue and asked with narrowed eyes.
Shen Yue's lips curled up, and he said, "Perhaps you can't kill me!"
Upon hearing this, anger flashed in Wei Tianxiong's eyes. He raised his hand and struck out with a palm, his violent energy mixed with lightning, directly sending Shen Yue flying.
Shen Yue somersaulted high in the air, and his sword spirit condensed along his right arm. Before he could regain his footing, the sword spirit swung its sword to block Wei Tianxiong, who was chasing after him.
Wei Tianxiong didn't care about his sword spirit at all. He simply waved his sleeve, as if he had shaken the sword spirit away. Then, he chased after Shen Yue and fell into the forest.
Yan Daozong and Bai Ning'er stood on the cliff, still unable to move.
"What's going on? He's already left, so why is the pressure still locked on us?"
The Yandao Sect calmed down and began to consider Wei Tianxiong's methods.
Before he could figure it out, the distant forest suddenly exploded, sending trees flying into the air, where Shen Yue moved swiftly and rapidly.
Shen Yue suddenly stopped, turned around and swung his sword. The crescent-shaped sword energy cut through trees one by one, and he attacked with unstoppable force.
boom--
Wei Tianxiong waved his sleeve to disperse the sword energy and quickly approached Shen Yue. He wore a mocking smile and said, "Is this your confidence? Such shallow sword skills disappoint me greatly."
Just then, Shen Yue, who was still in a sword-wielding posture, suddenly withdrew his sword. The sword energy that Wei Tianxiong had dispersed condensed into sword shadows, which quickly turned around and attacked Wei Tianxiong. The speed of the sword was even faster than the previous sword energy.
boom--
Dozens of sword shadows struck Wei Tianxiong's body, directly blasting out a cloud of blood mist.
Shen Yue was not pleased. He immediately leaped up, raised the wooden sword in his hand, and unleashed a powerful sword aura that shook the wind and clouds.
Under his gaze, the blood mist reformed into Wei Tianxiong's figure.
Wei Tianxiong looked up at Shen Yue, his face still bearing a contemptuous smile. He raised his right hand, and a large blue flag appeared out of thin air in his palm.
The moment this flag was raised, the world suddenly went dark!
The rolling dark clouds above Shen Yue's head became even more oppressive, as if a torrential downpour was about to fall.
