Chapter 1320: Both Sides Suffer Losses

"Luo Jian, you truly have a boundless future! Having just reached the Great Perfection of the Cave Abyss realm, you can already fight me to this extent—you should be proud!"

Wang Yuqian was also secretly astonished. Luo Jian's comprehension of the laws was far higher than he had expected.

If Luo Jian had broken through a decade or so earlier, he might not have been a match for him.

But now, with his overwhelming dominance, Luo Jian had been pushed to the brink.

His spear technique was grand and heavy, yet not slow.

Luo Jian's agility was greatly diminished before him.

Suddenly, Wang Yuqian's expression changed as a terrifying sword intent soared into the sky.

Luo Jian's entire body seemed to be on fire, his skin turning a wine-red.

"Eternal Coexistence with Heaven and Earth!"

In an instant, Luo Jian's speed and power surged more than tenfold!

Luo Jian, who had been suppressed, now vaguely gained the upper hand, charging toward Wang Yuqian like a phantom.

In the blink of an eye, they exchanged hundreds of moves at an extreme speed.

This technique was clearly a suicidal tactic!

Ye Yuan realized that this move was a technique that burned divine essence, boosting Luo Jian's strength by more than ten times.

But this placed an enormous burden on his body.

Moreover, given the intensity of the battle, Luo Jian couldn't sustain it for long.

If he couldn't defeat Wang Yuqian, then death awaited them both!

"Boy, this move is formidable, but before you can defeat me, you'll collapse first!" Wang Yuqian sneered.

Though under pressure, Luo Jian couldn't finish him off quickly.

Another sword strike came, and Wang Yuqian responded with a cold smile.

This strike was no different from the previous ones.

Without hesitation, he thrust his spear forward.

But just as his spear tip was about to meet the sword, Luo Jian's sword mysteriously vanished from before his eyes.

Wang Yuqian's pupils contracted sharply, but it was too late to react.

"Puchi!"

"Puchi!"

Two sounds of metal piercing flesh rang out!

Wang Yuqian's spear pierced through Luo Jian's chest, lifting him into the air.

And Luo Jian's sword also pierced through Wang Yuqian's chest!

Both sides suffered losses!

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Both spat out a mouthful of blood.

Luo Jian, in particular, had golden blood streaming down the spear, a gruesome sight.

Impaled on the spear, Luo Jian was unconscious.

Wang Yuqian's eyes were filled with confusion—why had that sword mysteriously disappeared?

But soon, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes as he madly channeled his divine essence, trying to rotate the spear.

He wanted to shred Luo Jian's internal organs!

Just then, a flash of cold light streaked by—Ye Yuan had arrived!

Ye Yuan's timing was perfect, not giving Wang Yuqian a chance to deliver the killing blow.

Though Wang Yuqian was strong, he wasn't so strong as to be impervious to Ye Yuan's attack.

"Fine swordsmanship! But you're still too green!"

Wang Yuqian bellowed, unable to rotate the spear in time, so he kicked Luo Jian away.

The kick was powerful, sending Luo Jian flying thousands of zhang away.

Wang Yuqian moved swiftly, swinging his spear to point at Ye Yuan!

In Wang Yuqian's view, even with his severe injuries, killing Ye Yuan would take only one move.

But at that moment, a mocking smile flickered across Ye Yuan's lips.

Wang Yuqian's gaze sharpened.

"Roar!"

A heaven-shaking dragon's roar resounded.

Since arriving in the Tongtian Realm, Ye Yuan used the Dragon God's Voice for the first time!

More precisely, it was the first time Ye Yuan used the Dragon God's Voice after breaking through to the Divine Realm!

In the Xianlin World, he could mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao, killing with a flick of his fingers, so he never needed the Dragon God's Voice.

But now that Ye Yuan had broken through to the Divine Realm, using the Dragon God's Voice was completely different from before.

The limitation of his cultivation level prevented Ye Yuan from unleashing the true power of this move.

Upon awakening his dragon soul, he had directly comprehended the first level of the Dragon God's Voice.

But due to his cultivation level, he could only unleash the move at an entry-level power, lasting only two or three breaths.

Now, his limitations were much smaller.

This Dragon God's Voice was at the Great Perfection of the first level!

Cross-tier combat was no problem!

If Wang Yuqian were at his peak, Ye Yuan would have no way to deal with him.

But now, the timing was perfect!

Wang Yuqian felt as if struck by lightning, blood streaming from his seven orifices from the shock.

In particular, the wound on his chest expanded rapidly under the Dragon God's Voice, golden blood gushing out like a spring!

Ye Yuan could not waste the result that Luo Jian had bought with his life!

Ten breaths!

That was the limit Ye Yuan could achieve; any longer, and he would have no strength left to escape.

The gap between him and Wang Yuqian was too great; he couldn't kill him.

Inflicting further injury was the best he could do.

The next moment, Ye Yuan retreated rapidly, grabbing Luo Jian and fleeing into the distance.

"Old scoundrel, I'll remember today's grudge! Keep your dog's head on your shoulders for now; one day, I, Ye Yuan, will come to claim it!"

Ye Yuan's figure disappeared from Wang Yuqian's sight, his cold words echoing in the air.

Wang Yuqian's face was pale. He hadn't expected that Ye Yuan, at the early Cave Abyss stage, possessed such a formidable trump card.

This sonic attack contained such terrifying laws of heaven and earth that if Ye Yuan were a bit stronger, he would have perished here today.

Wang Yuqian knew Ye Yuan was an alchemist, but he never expected his combat prowess to be so strong!

With this one move, Ye Yuan could sweep through opponents of the same level.

Even mid-Cave Abyss martial artists might not be a match for Ye Yuan!

Only late-Cave Abyss experts could reliably defeat Ye Yuan.

Today's events seemed like Luo Jian saving Ye Yuan.

But from another perspective, Ye Yuan had saved himself.

If he hadn't helped Luo Jian break through, even if Luo Jian used all his cards, he couldn't have injured Wang Yuqian.

"That move just now was clearly a supreme martial technique of the demon race! How... how could a human know such a technique?"

Wang Yuqian swallowed a pill, his eyes full of wariness.

A large hole had been torn in his chest, looking hideous.

The wound Luo Jian had inflicted was only the width of a sword.

But Ye Yuan's Dragon God's Voice had torn a gaping hole in his wound.

However, though the injury was severe, it wasn't fatal.

Killing a Divine Path expert was extremely difficult.

Three days later, Wang Yuqian's injuries finally stabilized.

He took out a talisman and slowly spoke: "The situation has changed; the assassination failed! Send the Second and Third Elders—this boy must not be allowed to live!"

With that, the talisman emitted a dazzling light and vanished into the air.

At that moment, Ye Yuan, carrying the severely wounded and dying Luo Jian, had already fled hundreds of thousands of li away.
