Chapter 109 This Woman, I Will Protect!

This sword condensed super-tier sword intent, the path of slaughter, and the chilling power of the Ice Phoenix bloodline. Under the multiple augmentations, the already terrifying Flying Moon Sword Art reached an entirely new level!

"An annihilation?!"

In the sky, Ye Yun, a solitary figure with a sword, and the space crack that was gradually healing, left onlookers stunned.

To slay six cultivators at the half-step Dao Foundation realm with a single strike – what overbearing strength!

Lan Zhaoyue and her group stared blankly at the scene, unable to recover for a long time.

Back at the Thousand Blades Mountain peak, Ye Yun's sword art, which was comparable to a Heaven-tier technique, had been shocking enough. But this current strike surpassed their imaginations.

"Changing the sky, the bright moon hangs high… this is the Flying Moon Sword Art?!"

Among them, Yu Wenya, upon witnessing the commotion Ye Yun caused, quickly guessed the origin of this sword technique.

After all, Ye Yun had likely obtained a Saint's legacy, and a few of the treasures acquired could be guessed. If it were that legendary top-tier Heaven-tier sword art, such power would be considered normal.

The issue was that Ye Yun had managed to learn and unleash the Flying Moon Sword Art in such a short period, which was truly defying the heavens!

But thinking back to Ye Yun's performance before the Spirit Bell, it seemed to make sense…

"Alas, now truly nothing can stop him!"

Yu Wenya gave a bitter laugh. All the half-step Dao Foundation cultivators present were dead, and the Dao Foundation realm experts were still locked in battle in the sky. No one was Ye Yun's match anymore.

Just then, an unexpected change occurred.

Ye Yun, in the sky, had just unleashed the Flying Moon Sword Art, his profound energy drastically depleted. He was in a period of weakness.

At this moment, a silver streak of light shot from the distant sky. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a silver flying shuttle, similar to a Fractal Cloud-Piercing Shuttle. Its speed and power were so immense that it crazily compressed the surrounding space, emitting a piercing sound.

"Ye Yun! Die!"

From the crowd, Mu Yangchen stared at him with madness in his eyes.

Without a doubt, the silver shuttle was released by him. The God-Slaying Shuttle was a one-time magic artifact refined by the Profound Nether Immortal Palace, possessing extremely strong offensive capabilities. A direct hit was enough to annihilate anyone below the Dao Foundation realm.

In fact, the timing he chose was perfect, happening precisely after Ye Yun had unleashed the Flying Moon Sword Art, when he was momentarily unable to condense a defense.

Unfortunately, he wouldn't have expected that Ye Yun still possessed a Jade of Divine Protection, and furthermore, his plan had already been discovered by someone else elsewhere!

"Oh?"

Ye Yun glanced at the God-Slaying Shuttle and was about to use the defense of the Jade of Divine Protection to resist this fatal blow.

Unexpectedly, before he could act, a black figure swiftly flew in front of him.

"Demon God Domain!"

With the woman's cold shout, the black-robed woman appeared before him. On her neck was a fully charged artifact. She hadn't had time to accumulate profound energy against the flood dragon before, but this time, she had ample time.

Instantly, a powerful demonic energy surged from the pendant-like artifact, forming a black barrier before her.

The God-Slaying Shuttle then struck the black barrier. The formidable profound energy contained within the God-Slaying Shuttle caused the black barrier to vibrate violently. The black-robed woman also seemed to suffer a backlash, with blood dripping from beneath her veil.

But no matter what, the God-Slaying Shuttle was blocked. As its power was expended, the God-Slaying Shuttle rapidly disintegrated. The black-robed woman's delicate body trembled, and she breathed heavily, indicating that blocking this strike had taken a great toll.

"It's you?"

Ye Yun looked at the woman who appeared before him and was quite surprised. Wasn't this the demon race woman he had casually saved before?

Hearing this, the black-robed woman turned around, barely managing to calm her breathing. She looked at him and said slowly.

"You saved my life in the swamp before. Now we are even."

"Uh…"

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow. He hadn't realized that this demon race person was quite principled.

However, her adherence to principles was causing her trouble. The vast demonic energy that erupted from her when she blocked the God-Slaying Shuttle was extraordinary, causing the surrounding human cultivators to cast dark glances.

Especially the experts from the Feather Fall Immortal Palace and the Exquisite Immortal Palace, both of whom had surrounded her.

Yu Wenya quickly stepped forward, frowning as she looked at her. "Someone from the demon race? What do you want in human territory?"

Even when facing the experts from the two Immortal Palaces, the black-robed woman remained calm and said softly.

"The Saint's tomb has appeared. Naturally, we are here to seek treasure."

"Regardless, this is our human race's treasure. It's not your turn to seek it!"

Yu Wenya rarely showed such sternness, which was also Ye Yun's first time witnessing it, but he understood.

Tens of thousands of years ago, before the birth of the first order, there was a period of demon race invasion of the human race and enslavement of humans. Although the human race later overthrew the demon race's rule and drove them back to the demon realm, this deep-seated hatred remained for thousands of years.

Therefore, even now, upon seeing someone from the demon race, humans generally harbor hostility, let alone appearing before the tomb of such a human ancestor.

Seeing that they were on the verge of a fight, Ye Yun sighed and said.

"I say, let's all calm down."

He first looked at the black-robed woman and said, "Regardless, thank you for your help just now. I will remember this favor."

Then, he turned to Yu Wenya and Lan Zhaoyue and said, "As you two have seen, she exposed herself to save me just now. Therefore, I must protect this woman no matter what!"

"If possible, I hope the two of you will give me some face and let her go this time."

Hearing this, the two women frowned. After all, so many people were watching. It wouldn't sound good for the two Immortal Palaces to openly let a demon race person go.

Ye Yun smiled at this moment and said, "Later, I still plan to discuss the treasures left by the Saint with the two of you."

As his words fell, their expressions changed. Yu Wenya immediately nodded.

"Since Elder Ye has spoken, it's not a problem to let her go this time."

Lan Zhaoyue also coughed lightly. "To not say anything else, she did help to save someone. I won't repay kindness with enmity. This time, I will pretend I didn't see it."

"Thank you both."

Ye Yun smiled, then looked at the black-robed woman and said, "Please withdraw for now, Madam. I will settle things here first, then have a word with you."

"Yes, that suits me. I also have something important I wish to discuss with you."

The black-robed woman nodded and then retreated to the side.

With matters as they stood, the scene was now a mess. It was time for the final cleanup.

Ye Yun's icy gaze suddenly fell on Mu Yangchen.

"Palace Master Mu, I truly didn't expect you to have this hidden card. It has indeed given me a surprise."

Mu Yangchen's expression had long since frozen. He never imagined that his attack, which he believed to be fatal, had not injured Ye Yun. This was now a huge problem!

Watching Ye Yun ascend towards him sword in hand, and recalling the life-and-death realm cultivators who were instantly killed earlier, Mu Yangchen was truly terrified.

"You… what do you want?"

"What do I want? Of course, I want to kill you!"

Ye Yun smiled as he looked at him, the Azure Wind Sword in his hand glowing with a cyan light. A single strike would be enough to decapitate him.

"Protect me! All of you, protect me!"

Mu Yangchen roared at the surrounding cultivators, but no one dared to approach. They didn't want to die.

In extreme fear, he even cried out to the sky.

"Senior Han Ye! Save me!"

At this point, he could only pray that Mu Han Ye would descend and save him. Even if Ye Yun was powerful, he wouldn't be a match for a Dao Foundation realm expert!

In a flash, another thunderous sound came from the sky. Then, Mu Han Ye's figure actually descended. However, at this moment, he was completely frozen, crashing to the ground like a meteor and scattering into ice fragments.

A moment later, another streak of light descended. This time, it was clearly the Dao Foundation realm cultivator from the Crouching Dragon Immortal Palace, who was also frozen in ice and shattered upon impact.

The cultivators from the Crouching Dragon Immortal Palace, and even Mo Chenyu, stared at this scene dumbfounded.

"Senior… he just died like that?"

Then, the familiar and despair-inducing ice-blue shadow floated down from the snowstorm, landing obediently beside Ye Yun without a single scratch.

"Well done."

Ye Yun praised the Snow Zhuque. He hadn't expected that the Snow Zhuque would deal with Dao Foundation realm cultivators so easily.

As if understanding his praise, the Snow Zhuque raised its head, as if saying, "Of course, who do you think I am!"

Ye Yun smiled, then turned his cold gaze to Mu Yangchen.

"Alright, Palace Master Mu, it's completely over now!"

Mu Yangchen swallowed hard and looked at him with fear. "If you dare to kill me, the Profound Nether Immortal Palace will be irreconcilably at odds with you!"

"Can I hear a different phrase? I've heard this hundreds of times."

Ye Yun shook his head, then as if struck by a thought, a sinister smile appeared on his lips. He then looked at him and said.

"Did you happen to obtain a Yellow Springs Ice Flower before? If you hand it over, I might spare your life."
