CHAPTER 695: CHAPTER 694: SO WHAT IF YOUR CULTIVATION IS HIGH (3/5)

The Saintess got married?

This news was extremely shocking to them.

It’s known that according to ancestral records, the Saintess must remain an unmarried and pure maiden.

Now they discover that the Saintess is actually a married woman, which is a great irony, and even an insult.

For a moment, the faces of the palace masters and Elder Zhang were burning hot.

The Third Elder was especially furious, "Then we absolutely cannot let you leave!"

One of the palace masters said, "Act together, don’t give them a chance! The cultivation of both of them is not low!"

Anyone could see that Kun Bai was beaten to the point of life and death, and Kun Ren was seriously injured. Though their cultivation ranked at the bottom among the five palace masters, they still had some strength.

From this perspective, both of them are at least at the Transcendent Realm.

"To cultivate from Post-Foundation to Transcendence in a month, his aptitude is simply monstrous!" the Fifth Elder marveled.

To know that it took him nearly thirty years to cultivate from Post-Foundation to Transcendence!

In comparison, the gap is terrifying.

"Everyone be cautious!" the Fifth Elder said in a deep voice.

Several people spread out, surrounding the two.

"Ye Xin! When you first came to Shangqing Sect, you were just an ordinary person without any knowledge of cultivation. Shangqing Sect taught you cultivation techniques, made you the Saintess, and gave you supreme authority. Is this how you repay the sect? Ungrateful!" the Second Elder scolded.

Ye Xin snorted coldly, "Ungrateful? You used a disgusting Gu technique to control my grandfather, sent people to injure my husband, and forcibly brought me here. If none of this had happened, I’d rather have been an ordinary person!"

"Unrepentant!" the Second Elder shouted angrily.

"Do you know who you are speaking to?" Yang Chen sneered, pulling out the Yunlai Dagger, its cold light reflecting in the Second Elder’s eyes. "There is a price to pay for scolding my woman!"

"Insolent!" the Second Elder stepped back, avoiding the dagger’s gleam, glaring at Yang Chen and said, "Do you think reaching the Transcendent Realm allows you to do whatever you want? Simply arrogant!"

As he spoke, the Second Elder slowly crouched, grasping the ground with his feet, his hair and robe moving without wind, a surge of enormous and sharp energy exuding from him.

"Today, let me show you what true power is!" the Second Elder yelled, swinging his hand into a claw, with cold gleams emanating from his nails, clawing towards Yang Chen.

"Watch out!" Ye Xin exhaled in alarm, cautioning Yang Chen.

Yang Chen snorted coldly, wielding the dagger in his hand, clashing with the Second Elder’s claw of steel.

Clang, clang, clang!

The collision between the dagger and the Second Elder’s nails sparked fire.

In an instant, the two had exchanged hundreds of moves, and simultaneously recoiled.

Yang Chen noticed, the Second Elder’s claws were as ugly as a chicken’s, hands blackened and covered with a thick layer of calluses, nails curved sharp like an eagle’s talon, about the thickness of a little finger, gleaming coldly.

It was clear at a glance that the Second Elder’s hands were trained in a special way and soaked in medicinal water daily. Who knows how many years he’d been cultivating, resulting in claws harder than steel.

The Second Elder was also quite surprised. He could see that Yang Chen’s cultivation was just at the Transcendent Realm, but his strength and reaction were extraordinary.

He knew he was on the verge of Foundation Establishment, about to enter the Grain Avoidance Stage. How could a mere Transcendent Realm boy be his rival?

Thinking of this, the Second Elder roared angrily, pouncing at Yang Chen once more.

He couldn’t believe Yang Chen could be his opponent!

Yang Chen snorted coldly and advanced with the Yunlai Dagger.

The Second Elder’s strength was indeed formidable, but not enough to overwhelm Yang Chen, and definitely not like the embarrassing defeat atop Flame Palace.

Yang Chen could withstand battles of higher levels!

At this time, the Third Elder, eyeing Ye Xin, said coldly: "Ye Xin, you are no longer the Saintess. This time, I’ll make you regret it!"

With that, the Third Elder drew a Tang Blade from his waist and charged at Ye Xin.

The Tang Blade was sharp and swift, Ye Xin, seeing this, quickly waved her colorful ribbon to counter.

In a single encounter, the ribbon was sliced into several pieces.

The Tang Blade was simply too sharp, and Ye Xin didn’t have a proper weapon in hand.

Usually, Ye Xin could wield her ribbon gracefully, but it was not a weapon, only a decoration on her attire.

Facing the current situation, Ye Xin seemed a bit flustered.

The Third Elder’s blade strikes were lethal, constantly forcing Ye Xin back.

Ye Xin dodged repeatedly, the sharp Tang Blade occasionally severing a strand of her hair, each time nearly striking her, posing extreme danger.

Yang Chen, seeing this scene, a flicker of anger arose in his eagle-like eyes.

No one is allowed to bully his woman!

"Shadow Step!" Yang Chen snorted coldly, stepping into mysterious stances, his figure flickered, evading the Second Elder’s attack.

The Second Elder’s claw swiped a residual shadow, his heart startled, "What speed!"

Suddenly, a chill surged through the Second Elder, hair on end, a cold sweat trickling down his spine, hastily swinging his claw behind him.

Clang!

Sparks flew.

He barely blocked Yang Chen’s attack.

But in the next second, Yang Chen reappeared behind the Second Elder, the dagger slicing toward the Second Elder’s neck.

With this, he could sever half of the Second Elder’s neck!

The Second Elder sensed danger, a chill shot from his feet to his head, he spun swiftly, his speed so rapid, movement so agile, his lower body almost couldn’t keep up with his upper body, his back cracking audibly.

Clang!

In the nick of time, the Second Elder blocked Yang Chen’s attack.

But in the following second, Yang Chen’s dagger slashed the Second Elder’s arm, blood splattering!

Simultaneously, Yang Chen kicked the Second Elder in the chest, sending him flying.

The Second Elder looked on in disbelief at Yang Chen receding into the distance as he flew backward. How could a Foundation Establishment Stage powerhouse like him be defeated by a no-name Transcendent Stage boy?

How is this possible!

He was utterly incredulous.

Yang Chen slightly turned to observe the Second Elder crash to the ground, trapped in the kicking posture, a flicker of coldness in his eagle-like eyes, a hint of pride on his face.

No matter how high the cultivation level is,

When the power is evenly matched, someone with slower speed, weaker combat ability, less combat experience, and instinct must still fall at my feet!

Yang Chen coldly glanced at the fallen, blood-spitting Second Elder, then turned his gaze to the Third Elder, who was pushing Ye Xin to the brink of death with the Tang Blade.

And at that moment, the Third Elder’s Tang Blade grazed Ye Xin’s shoulder.

A splash of blood, bright red in Yang Chen’s eyes, appearing especially glaring.

"Courting death!" Seeing this, fury rushed through Yang Chen’s eyes, blood gushing.

Those who harm his woman, absolutely cannot be forgiven!
