Chapter 709 - 703: Self-Destruction
"Ye Xuan, why go to such extremes when leaving some leeway could suffice? Grant some face to my Emperor Xi Sect and let today’s issue end here; I will surely never trouble you again."
Cornered and with nowhere to run, Sound Saint sought to compromise with Ye Xuan, thinking that as long as there are greens in the mountains, one needn’t worry about fueling the fire; as long as he could escape with his life this time, he wouldn’t worry about a chance to make a comeback. But if he let Ye Xuan finish him off here, then there wouldn’t be any chance at all.
"Grant you face? I gave you plenty of face before, but you wasted your chances. You even schemed against Xuantian Sect behind my back, trying to stab me in the back. How could I let you go today?"
Ye Xuan sneered coldly; the fate of these two, who initially wanted to kill him, was sealed from the start, marking their inevitable demise. He had slightly softened his intent to kill these two, yet they had done something like this, simply courting death.
"Damn it, do you think you have me cornered today? It’s still uncertain who will live and who will die if we end up in a fish-net situation," Sound Saint said with a vicious look. Judging by the way things were, it seemed Ye Xuan had him pegged; they wouldn’t stop unless it was a fight to the death.
"If you’re so confident about a mutual destruction, why all this nonsense!"
Ye Xuan ignored Sound Saint and thrust his sword forward.
"Tenfold Sound Barrier!"
Unable to stop Ye Xuan, Sound Saint had no choice but to channel his True Yuan, erecting layer upon layer of sound barriers to hinder Ye Xuan’s advancement.
"Break!"
Ye Xuan slashed through with his sword, invincible on his path. Deploying the Human Sword Unity, he quickly shattered the sound barriers and caught up to Sound Saint.
