Chapter 1198: Wu Yuan’s Reputation (3)
Boom! Wu Yuan arrived like a storm breaking. Without preamble or posturing, he swung his saber in a single, fluid motion. Blade rays blossomed across the void, each carrying a destructive power that sent True Saint Yun Hai reeling in disbelief.
In that moment, he understood why True Saint Xiao Yao had perished so swiftly.
How did Xiao Yao even last that long? The thought flickered through his mind like lightning. Even with my Eternal Matter Body, I cannot withstand it for long.
Fury and fear mingled in his heart. Damn this suppression! It's crippled my vitality and physical defenses. His frustration mounted. In the cosmic sea, such an attack wouldn't even scratch my skin.
Whoosh! Another lightning-fast exchange erupted, and Wu Yuan's blade struck True Saint Yun Hai, nearly extinguishing his vital aura completely. Death's shadow fell across him.
True Saint Luan Jiang's assistance proved crucial, occupying the enemy just enough to allow Wu Yuan to unleash his full power without needing to first whittle his opponent down with complex saber techniques.
Just then, a subtle fluctuation rippled through spacetime. A black-robed incarnation coalesced in the void nearby, its aura ephemeral. From above, this newcomer surveyed Wu Yuan, Eldritch Progenitor Luan Jiang, and the beleaguered True Saint Yun Hai.
"Hmm?" Wu Yuan's eyes narrowed as he sensed something extraordinary about this projected figure.
"Dao Zenithel, save me," True Saint Yun Hai transmitted repeatedly, a desperate hope flaring within him. "Save me!"
"Wu Yuan," Eldritch Progenitor Luan Jiang transmitted privately, "this is Dao Zenithel Huang Yue of Nine Peaks—one of the nine Peak Masters."
Wu Yuan frowned slightly. Dao Zenithel Huang Yue? In an instant, a wealth of intelligence about this individual surfaced in his mind.
Nine Peaks had earned its name from the nine Dao Zenithels who had founded this powerful faction—they were the original leaders, revered internally as Peak Masters. According to Wu Yuan's intelligence, Dao Zenithel Huang Yue wasn't considered particularly formidable among his peers.
