'What the fuck is going on!?'
Ye Tian Yun gritted his teeth and tried to focus.
The sudden release of Sword Intent had affected him; however, the drawback wasn't as intense as it was during the Gracious Sword Sect's time.
'Ugh!'
Suddenly Ye Tian Yun felt a jerk on his shoulder and was brought back to reality.
"We need to retreat fast! Kai Yang!!"
It was Fu Kai who was calling.
'Hmm? ' Ye Tian Yun frowned and looked at his side.
There were lots of corpses lying around. They were either guards or commoners. Even Clan Head Jia Lei Shan's head was lying just a few feet away from him.
'Concentrate!'
Ye Tian Yun gritted his teeth and focused on the remaining enemies.
However, one thing shocked him - the remaining guard of Princess Wu Qingwu had Xiao Ming held up in the air by his neck.
'Fuck! If this guy died, then everyone would know about Token Of Fate!'
Ye Tian Yun had to do something before the guard killed Xiao Ming.
'To think I will one day save Xiao Ming's life…'
Ye Tian Yun grunted and charged forward.
He passed Jun Xie, and Yuan Shuchun - both of them were fighting off the guards from Ao Ba Clan.
Suddenly a thought sprang in his mind, and without turning back, he whispered something - only audible to one person in the whole battlefield - Fu Kai.
Fu Kai, who was currently incapacitated due to the spear through his leg, was confused by Ye Tian Yun's words but chose to trust and started looking for an opportunity.
…
In the tavern, Wang Yao frowned at the scene in front of him.
"He chose to reveal his Sword Intent? Interesting. But it's clear that even though he had the power, he hasn't used it much."
"How did he get the Sword Domain so fast? Is it because of that thing?"
He couldn't help but contemplate.
'Hm? Will he save Xiao Ming? The Token Of Fate… didn't that bastard Xiao Ming tell everyone that he found the token during the mission? Then what's the need to keep him alive? Why is this guy saving Xiao Ming?'
Sometimes, Wang Yao felt confused about Ye Tian Yun's actions - and this was mainly due to the constraints of using the Emblem Of Time.
Due to the emblem, he could only look at the target's actions and nothing else.
He couldn't interfere.
He couldn't see what was happening in other places. Like he didn't know what Xiao Ming did after leaving this tavern three days ago.
He only knew what was happening with the target - even then, he couldn't read their thoughts.
'So troublesome.'
Wang Yao hated this constraint.
And this was also the reason why he was patiently waiting here even though everyone else from the God's Legion had returned back to the future.
To them, Ye Tian Yun was already dead - the difference between Ye Tian Yun and Wang Yao's current cultivation was just too huge.
Ye Tian Yun would have to risk his life to hold back a Core Formation Realm cultivator, but for Wang Yao, a single look would be enough to kill the same.
This was why they lost interest and returned back to the future - everything here was anticlimactic to them.
'Those idiots…'
To some extent, Wang Yao was relieved that they left - because this constraint had actually made him quite weaker.
'Fucking Emblems - they just create difficulty. Godly artifacts, my ass!'
'Just a few more minutes and I will get what I need - if things get to worse, I will interfere - the Heaven's Will can suck my dick.'
…
Outside the city,
Peak Master Duan and the Head Guard were standing in front of each other.
However, the condition of the two was heaven and earth apart - one was standing nonchalant, while the other was severely injured.
"You should give up. Just tell me who you are, and I will leave your corpse intact."
The Head Guard's cold voice echoed in the valley.
In front of him, Peak Master Duan gritting his teeth, said, "You fucker, to use poison - how low can you be?"
It was Peak Master Duan who was in a near-death state, and the Head Guard was standing with his hands behind his back, with a cold and expressionless face.
"It's quite hypocritical of you to say that when you're the one who's the assassin here." The Head Guard replied.
"Hmph! This is not over," Peak Master Duan took out two more swords and moved for another attack.
….
Near the Jia Clan Gates,
*plop*
A body suddenly fell to the ground.
It was the Elder from Devil Sect.
"That wasn't hard." The guard smirked and flew higher in the air.
After some time - he observed two battlefields.
'Looks like there won't be any trouble with the new princess Wu - there's no high-rank cultivator in the vicinity, just a few kids.'
'But there…' The Guard frowned and slowly moved towards the battlefield in the valley.
After a few minutes, he hid himself and waited for the right opportunity.
In front of him, the assassin and his Head Guard were fighting.
But after a few blows, it seemed the assassin was finally taking the high ground and would be able to defeat his superior in a few more blows.
'I told him poison could only do this much.' The guard let out a sigh and prepared for a sneak attack to kill the assassin.
After a few seconds, as soon as an opening appeared -
'Now!' the guard tightened his grip over his sword and moved for the kill.
It hadn't even been an instant that suddenly the clouds in the sky converged and hid the bright sun.
*crackle!!!!*
Lighting began to strike on random places!
But the guard went on for the kill - he was not going to miss this opportunity!
However, before he could reach the assassin - a sudden pressure overwhelmed everything and anything around him, including the three of them in the valley.
Only one thought popped in their heads -
'There's a Sword Saint!?'
