Chapter 2461: You Shouldn't Have Come!

"Daoist Yi, you are now one of us, so you should have a broader vision. You refining pills for us is for the greater good of humanity. Us eliminating traitors is also for the good of humanity. I know you have a good relationship with Ye Yuan, but his talent is too strong, and his betrayal poses too great a threat to us. We had no choice but to take such measures!"

Fire Ancestor Weng Xian remained unflustered, instead earnestly advising the Saint Ancestor High Priest.

As if he stood on the moral high ground.

"Screw your moral high ground! Weng Xian, I'm never believing your bullshit again! Ye Yuan betraying humanity? Hah, even if you old bastards all die off and only he remains in the Transcendent Realm, he would never betray humanity! Fine, since attaining the Dao, I haven't fought a peer. Today, I'll see just how strong a Dao Ancestor really is!"

Yi sneered, his aura erupting violently, the power of rules blooming in an instant.

Boom!

A punch thrown, heaven and earth shook.

Two rule-powerful experts clashed in an instant!

The Saint Ancestor High Priest struck in fury, his might boundless.

But his foundation was ultimately not as deep as Fire Ancestor's.

Around Fire Ancestor, terrifying flame power nearly burned a hole in the void.

Every move carried extremely terrifying energy fluctuations.

In the blink of an eye, he suppressed the Saint Ancestor High Priest.

Seeing this, Lin Huan couldn't help but smile, looking at Wan Zhen and saying, "Do you think you're saved? Useless! No one in this world can rescue someone from Qiyuan Mountain!"

With that, he picked up a Bone-Eroding Annihilation Blade and stabbed it fiercely toward Wan Zhen.

Just then, a sudden change occurred!

A cold gleam appeared abruptly from the void.

Carrying an extremely sharp edge, it shot toward Lin Huan.

Pfft!

Before Lin Huan could even react, he was pierced straight through by the cold gleam.

The immense force sent Lin Huan flying, pinning him firmly to the rock.

Lin Huan's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

Blood gushed from his mouth, his body convulsing.

Everyone was stunned by the cold gleam.

Too fast!

So fast that no one reacted!

Even Lin Huan, a supreme expert of the Five Declines of Heaven and Man, had no time to react before being hit.

Moreover, this sword had traversed the void, reaching extreme speed.

By the time Lin Huan reacted, the sword was already at his chest.

No matter how fast he was, he couldn't dodge it.

"Ti... Time-Space Sword! It's Ye Yuan's Time-Space Sword! Azure Saint Ye Yuan is here!" someone sharp-eyed recognized the sword and immediately cried out.

Before the words faded, a figure stepped out of the void and arrived beside Wan Zhen.

Who else could it be but Ye Yuan?

Ye Yuan's appearance drew exclamations from the crowd.

"He... he really came!"

"He actually dared to come!"

"No way! How did he become so strong?"

"Exactly! Last time, his full-powered sword barely injured Lin Huan. This time, he pierced him clean through!"

...

The experts on the mountain were all shocked beyond belief.

First, they were shocked by Ye Yuan's courage, but soon they realized something was off.

Ye Yuan had used the same move on Lin Huan before.

At that time, he had only barely injured Lin Huan.

But how much time had passed? Ye Yuan's sword had now pinned Lin Huan, a Five Declines expert, firmly to the rock!

Judging by Lin Huan's state, he was severely injured and seemed unable to fight anymore.

This progress was too terrifying, wasn't it?

What Wan Zhen feared most had come to pass.

Unless Ye Yuan didn't know about this; if he knew, he would definitely come!

"Pang Zhen! Why... why did you tell the lord!" Wan Zhen looked at Pang Zhen behind Ye Yuan, furious.

Pang Zhen looked awkward, but Ye Yuan said calmly, "How can I stand by and watch a brother suffer?"

Wan Zhen sighed weakly, "Lord, you... you shouldn't have come!"

Ye Yuan said nothing, suddenly striking Wan Zhen with a palm.

A flood of divine essence surged wildly into Wan Zhen's body.

The Bone-Eroding Annihilation Blades, shaken by the divine essence, were simultaneously pulled out and suspended in the air.

Ye Yuan pointed a finger, and a Bone-Eroding Annihilation Blade shot with a 'swoosh' into Lin Huan's heart.

"Ah!"

Lin Huan screamed, writhing in pain.

But his body was pinned to the rock, unable to break free.

The more he struggled, the more painful it became.

Ye Yuan acted as if nothing had happened, looking at Wan Zhen with a smile: "You know I couldn't not come. Even if Pang Zhen hadn't told me, I would have found out soon. They set up such a big trap just to let me know, didn't they?"

As he spoke, he pointed again.

Another blade shot through the air, piercing Lin Huan's body.

"Ah! It... it hurts so much! I'm... I'm dying! Ye... Ye Yuan, please... please, let me go!"

Lin Huan didn't have Wan Zhen's integrity; two blades in, he was nearly broken.

The bone-deep pain made him wish for death.

He couldn't care less; he had to beg Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan ignored him, pointing again.

Another blade!

Lin Huan felt as if ten thousand ants were devouring his body.

The pain was such that he could neither live nor die.

He knew the Bone-Eroding Annihilation Blades were painful, but he never imagined it would be this agonizing.

The experts on the mountain gasped at the sight.

They witnessed Ye Yuan's cold-blooded side.

At this moment, Ye Yuan sent chills down their spines.

To those who harmed his friends, he would repay them twofold!

Moreover, as the supreme alchemy master, Ye Yuan's blade placement was far more precise than Lin Huan's.

He knew exactly where to strike to cause the most pain!

Ye Yuan helped Wan Zhen down, handed him to Pang Zhen, and gave him a pill, saying, "Give him this to take. You take care of him."

Then he turned to the Saint Ancestor High Priest, who was fighting in the void, and shouted, "Stop fighting, come down and save him."

Hearing this, the Saint Ancestor High Priest quickly withdrew from the battle and swooped down.

Fire Ancestor did not pursue; their target was Ye Yuan, not the Saint Ancestor High Priest.

Since Ye Yuan had come, there was no need to fight Yi to the death.

The Saint Ancestor High Priest landed and saw Ye Yuan, his expression dark, and said grimly, "Why did you come, boy? Don't you know this is a trap set for you?"

Ye Yuan shook his head, "I know, but you know I can't watch them die for me."

The Saint Ancestor High Priest frowned, "But do you think they'll let them go just because you came? They'll use these people to threaten you!"

Ye Yuan shook his head again, smiling, "They won't."

The Saint Ancestor High Priest was stunned, wondering where Ye Yuan's confidence came from.

"Ah!"

Another scream; as he spoke, Ye Yuan sent another blade flying.
