Chapter 1273: Chapter 1273: Raging at the End of One’s Strength—You Dare Show Off Before Me? (Part 1)
Damn it, it’s my strongest attack, and it only left such a small wound?
Ye Haochuan was shocked in his heart, but on second thought, the opponent was a Nascent Soul Peak expert at the top of the cultivator world, having such an achievement was already quite impressive.
If it weren’t for these three being already injured by Yang Sen and underestimating him, he wouldn’t have been able to land a single blow.
However, those few insignificant wounds weren’t enough to change the tide of the battle. Instead, they angered the three on the opposite side.
"Die!"
The three shouted in unison, and three attacks strong enough to change the color of the sky went straight towards Ye Haochuan.
Ye Haochuan was immediately shocked. How could he withstand such an attack?
Just then, Yang Sen suddenly had a bright idea. Ye Haochuan had successfully attracted the attention of the three Nascent Soul Peak cultivators, giving him an excellent opportunity.
"One Stroke Spring and Autumn - Transforming Gold Blade!"
With his light chant, the words "Gold Blade" suddenly turned into numerous sharp blades, shooting down like meteors. This strike contained more than half of Yang Sen’s spiritual energy, its power was imaginable.
"No good!"
The three were instantly shocked, abandoning their attacks on Ye Haochuan to block the strike hastily.
But in their panic, how could their hastily deployed defenses block Yang Sen’s full-on strike? The taller cultivator seemed to have guessed the outcome and leaned behind another companion while using his defense.
Puff puff puff~
After a series of dense flesh slicing sounds, two Evil Sect cultivators were immediately pierced with countless transparent holes. As for the taller cultivator, his companion shielded him from most of the attack, but he was still thrown away by the impact.
In the last moment before death, the two had eyes full of regret. If they hadn’t been temporarily driven mad by Ye Haochuan, they wouldn’t have ignored Yang Sen, a strong opponent, to attack Ye Haochuan, an ant.
Whew~
Seeing the three had fallen, Yang Sen heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, his face looked extremely ugly. Due to overuse of spiritual energy, he now had no strength left in his body and could barely stand.
Meanwhile, a patch of blue-green slowly spread from Yang Sen’s small arm, soon taking over his shoulder, with tufts of white hair sprouting out like spring grass.
As the Corpse Decay Poison spread, it felt like a small knife was continuously cutting through Yang Sen’s muscles, bones, and meridians.
"Ah—!"
Yang Sen let out a roar, clenching his teeth, drenched in sweat. The poison was about to invade his heart and lungs, killing him and turning him into a vile Poisoned Corpse.
Yes, anyone who died from the Corpse Decay Poison would become a mindless Poisoned Corpse!
Ye Haochuan originally thought he was doomed, but the attacks dispersed just inches away from him and did not cause significant harm.
Hearing Yang Sen’s roar, he immediately snapped out of it and quickly ran to Yang Sen’s side.
"Open your mouth!"
He tossed twelve Qi-Returning Pills into Yang Sen’s mouth to help him recover his spiritual energy. Though the pills didn’t have a great effect, they were better than nothing.
At the same time, silver needles were quickly inserted into Yang Sen’s shoulder, finally halting the spread of the Corpse Decay Poison.
But Ye Haochuan still frowned. This poison was peculiar, and with his current medicinal resources, he couldn’t cure it.
"You..."
After some time, Yang Sen finally caught his breath. Looking at the frowning Ye Haochuan beside him, he started to speak.
However, before he could utter a word, he saw that the tall Nascent Soul Peak cultivator had stumbled back to his feet. He had used his companion to block most of the attack, so his injuries, though severe, were not fatal.
"Spent, aren’t you? Yang Sen, let’s see what you can do now!" The tall cultivator sneered. Though he looked haggard, his condition was much better compared to Yang Sen.
"No good, run!"
Yang Sen was startled; he barely had enough spiritual energy and was still plagued by the Corpse Decay Poison.
"Want to run? Too late!"
The tall Nascent Soul Peak cultivator snorted coldly, sending a powerful Sword Qi rushing towards them.
Ye Haochuan was horrified. Earlier, when they were not killed by the attacks from the three Nascent Soul cultivators, it was entirely due to Yang Sen’s timely intervention. But now, Yang Sen couldn’t even stand, let alone fight back.
"Damn it, let’s fight!" Ye Haochuan muttered to himself.
He had been saying this often recently, not knowing when his situation became increasingly precarious, surrounded by stronger enemies, forcing him to fight desperately.
"Sacrifice Formation!"
Ye Haochuan managed to utter just two words before quickly moving beside Yang Sen.
Yang Sen was stunned, looking at Ye Haochuan’s back. A peculiar thought suddenly popped into his mind.
All along, he had been the one shielding others. Unexpectedly, today, a junior would voluntarily stand before him.
"No, he’s exceptionally gifted with a promising future. How can he die with me, an old man?" Yang Sen’s thoughts raced as he reached out to push Ye Haochuan aside.
But before he could react, Ke Yan had already responded.
"Genius Seven Kills, Sacrifice Formation!"
Ke Yan’s expression turned stern, her foot stomped, and the spiritual energy of six others quickly converged onto Ye Haochuan.
She habitually wanted to cast the Control Formation, but after hearing Ye Haochuan’s words, she inexplicably obeyed and used the Sacrifice Formation instead.
"Heaven-Penetrating Barrier!"
As the tall cultivator’s attack approached, Ye Haochuan suddenly shouted. His presence became imposing and inviolable in that instant.
Slap~
With a casual wave of his right hand, the Sword Qi was dispersed as if it was made of paper.
"How... how is this possible?" The tall cultivator was in disbelief. His attack could have reduced a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage cultivator to dust, yet it was blocked by Ye Haochuan, a mere Core Formation Stage ant.
Not only him, but even Yang Sen was stunned by Ye Haochuan’s move.
This young fellow seemed to have many secrets!
While others were somewhat dazed, Ye Haochuan was also staring blankly at the tall cultivator.
To block the tall cultivator’s attack, the spiritual energy enhanced by the Sacrifice Formation was also half consumed.
However, rather than panic, his eyes showed a hint of delight.
"That last strike, he clearly used all his strength. But judging from this attack, it’s only slightly stronger than a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage cultivator’s. It seems his power is down to a tenth!"
Thinking further, it made sense as the tall cultivator had been battling Yang Sen for so long, depleting his spiritual energy. Now severely injured, his strength was naturally much less.
"Just a spent force, yet daring to be arrogant before me?"
Ye Haochuan chuckled lightly before suddenly shouting, "Vermilion Bird Illusionary Seal!"
