CHAPTER 874: CHAPTER 868: BLOOD ARROW SAINT MONARCH

"You actually saw through my Phantom Arrow."

The Blood Arrow Saint Monarch’s pupils slightly contracted. This kid actually broke his move so effortlessly?

His Phantom Arrow was elusive and difficult to decipher. With Ye Xuan’s cultivation, he shouldn’t have been able to break it.

It seems this guy really has some true skills, worthy of killing Xing Wuji.

Yue Rushuang quietly watched the scene, her eyes deep like a serene pool, showing no intent to intervene.

"Hmph, it’s not over yet! The way of arrows, unpredictable!"

The Blood Arrow Saint Monarch finally unleashed his ultimate move, drawing his blood bow fully, with force bursting forth.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Arrows shot out, filling the sky with shadows, elusive and haunting, flickering everywhere. None of the spectators could discern the trajectory because this arrow’s path changed thousands of times, even the Blood Arrow Saint Monarch, its creator, couldn’t instantly pinpoint the arrow’s location.

"Kid, how will you block it?"

The Blood Arrow Saint Monarch lowered the blood bow, grinning confidently.

"Infinite changes, yet all abide by a single principle."

Ye Xuan closed his eyes, the Emperor’s Eye rapidly scanning, indeed, the unpredictable arrow of the Blood Arrow Saint Monarch changed thousands of times, each moment the trajectory varied dozens of times, and one among these would lead to dozens more. As long as the power of the arrow wasn’t exhausted, the transformations only increased.

Ye Xuan’s Emperor’s Eye rotated at an extremely high frequency, his soul power possessing analysis and deduction functions, advancing at ten times the speed of ordinary Martial Saint strong people, capturing the hidden thunderbolt arrows in an instant.

Without opening his eyes, Ye Xuan stepped forward and struck out with a sword.

Bang!

"What? Even the unpredictable arrow couldn’t stop him?"

The Blood Arrow Saint Monarch was startled, this arrow almost achieved perfect deception, even he could barely discern it.

As he was shocked, an arrow shot forth in his view, exactly the unpredictable arrow he shot earlier, returning intact.

Quickly retreating, the Blood Arrow Saint Monarch pulled out a shield from his ring, placing it in front.

Thud!

The arrow struck the shield with brilliant sparks and a deafening rumble, sending the Blood Arrow Saint Monarch back a hundred meters and more.

"The Blood Arrow Saint Monarch was driven back!"

"With the lord’s strength, this kid isn’t even his match!"

Some Blood Soul Army soldiers discussed, unanimously surprised by the outcome.

"Damn it!"

Angry and gloomy, the Blood Arrow Saint Monarch hadn’t expected this result, not being able to rival a young novice.

"Brat!"

Just as the Blood Arrow Saint Monarch planned to act again, he was suddenly stopped by Yue Rushuang.

"Enough, just let it be."

Yue Rushuang glanced at the Blood Arrow Saint Monarch; no matter how he unleashed his power, he wouldn’t be Ye Xuan’s match.

"Today, for the Moon God’s sake, this Saint Monarch won’t haggle with you."

Finding an excuse, the Blood Arrow Saint Monarch said deeply.

"Then I must thank you. Your martial skills are average, but your verbal skills are truly impressive, just like your friend Xing Wuji."

Ye Xuan coldly sneered.

"You!"

The Blood Arrow Saint Monarch flared up in rage, his gaze sinister, but he restrained his anger. ’Hmph, I won’t engage in verbal disputes with you.’

Although extremely annoyed, the Blood Arrow Saint Monarch knew he wasn’t Ye Xuan’s match. The unpredictable arrow was nearing his full strength, yet Ye Xuan easily dispelled it, proving his might far beyond.

Snorting coldly, the Blood Arrow Saint Monarch turned and left.

As he turned, a cold grin appeared on the Blood Arrow Saint Monarch’s lips. Let the kid be complacent for now; he wouldn’t live long anyway.

Others also dispersed.

"Seems we’ve offended another difficult character."

Nangong Yao came closer, worriedly watching the Blood Arrow Saint Monarch’s back.

"Regardless of that display, the Blood Arrow Saint Monarch wouldn’t be our friend."

Ye Xuan shook his head. Since the Blood Arrow Saint Monarch was close to Xing Wuji and belonged to the Divine Domain, he was undoubtedly an enemy assigned by Xing Liuli.

"This is no good place; we should be more cautious."

Nangong Yao sighed, worried for Ye Xuan’s circumstances, as he was too confident. The enemy was treacherous, and something unexpected could happen.

"Their target is me. If any danger arises, don’t involve yourself. I have my ways to resolve it. Remember, you mustn’t."

Ye Xuan turned his head, spoke seriously.

"How could I not?"

Nangong Yao thought Ye Xuan spoke nonsense; how could she not intervene?

"Trust me."

Ye Xuan didn’t waste words, simply said these three.

Hearing this, Nangong Yao paused, seeing seriousness in Ye Xuan’s eyes, realizing he had some trump card or confidence.

"Alright, let’s find a place to rest. You’re tired. There might be tasks coming in a couple of days."

Ye Xuan held Nangong Yao’s smooth hand, heading into the mountain’s depths.

...

In the next three days, Ye Xuan remained untroubled in the mines, untouched by Yue Rushuang or the Blood Arrow Saint Monarch, while on the fourth day, he and Nangong Yao received new orders.

"The Demon Clan army is approaching."

Ye Xuan read the message from the Identity Token, indicating that the Demon Clan’s attack force would reach the mine the next day, and they would be responsible for defending the main mine, alongside eight others, all expert fighters dispatched from the Xuri Tavern, excluding the Blood Soul Army soldiers.

For this command, Ye Xuan had no objections, hoping those people hold some sense of propriety and won’t stab in the back during battle.

Ye Xuan feared no schemes now, needing to guard only against Yue Rushuang.

Besides her, others were not a concern.

After storing the token, Ye Xuan closed his eyes to rest. The fourth tier of the Dragon God’s Invincible Battle Technique, Sun Transcending the Dragon Court, was nearly comprehended, enhancing his strength significantly.
