The strangest thing was that Xi Qianye was able to unleash multiple layers of the Saint Physique at the same time.
The layers were stacked on top of each other, and each layer was extremely powerful. He could only break through one layer of the Saint Physique.
He had never seen such a Saint Physique before. It was simply too inconceivable and terrifying.
The Marquis of Abyss was truly shocked by Xi Qianye. Let alone provoking Xi Qianye, even if he obtained those heaven-defying abilities from Xi Qianye, Fukai no Seigoku would probably be able to immediately rise up.
The young man in front of him was truly a huge treasure trove. It was no wonder that he had attracted the attention of so many powers on the continent. Even the Marquis of Abyss was somewhat tempted.
Everyone in Stone Ant City was extremely shocked. They looked at Xi Qianye as if they had seen a ghost.
Xi Qianye could actually fight the Marquis of Abyss and remain undefeated …
There was probably no such strange and terrifying young man on the entire continent. Even the legendary Five Great Imperial Clans might not necessarily have such a person.
Elder Mu looked at Xi Qianye in shock. If Xi Qianye had unleashed that strange Saint Physique before, he probably would not have needed to fear him at all.
It was clear that Xi Qianye was not wary of him from the very beginning. Instead, he was wary of the Marquis of Abyss, who was hiding in the shadows.
However, how did Xi Qianye know of the Marquis of Abyss' existence? This was truly a bit strange.
In reality, Elder Mu was still wrong. Xi Qianye was not wary of Fukai no Seigoku's people at all. There was nothing for him to be wary of, including the Marquis of Abyss. What he was wary of was the Stone Ant Clan.
Although he could not become a Great Sage in the Tianlan Ruins, it did not mean that he did not have the power of a Great Sage.
After all, some ancient clans that had existed since the ancient times would definitely have some extraordinary techniques.
Xi Qianye sensed a vast and ancient aura in Stone Ant City. That power was enough to pose a true threat to him.
Xi Qianye ignored the people of Fukai no Seigoku and brought Gu Yun back to the walls of the Stone Ant Clan with a few flashes. Using the recoil, he moved even faster. Even the Marquis of Abyss could not stop him, let alone the other cultivators of Fukai no Seigoku.
"Marquis, Marquis of Abyss." Elder Mu was extremely anxious.
The current Xi Qianye was already so heaven-defying. Just how strong would he become in a few more years? It was simply unimaginable.
Since he had already offended this person, he couldn't give him any room to grow. Otherwise, the entire Fu Hai Holy Nation would be in danger.
Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis Abyss to him and To Seigoku of Fukai of Marquis of of of of Xi. of Of of Seigoku....
.. of Time!
Summon the sacred sword.
Marquis of Abyss sighed softly. He was afraid that he would not be able to keep that young man with his own strength.
Just as he finished speaking, a brilliant sacred light suddenly lit up in the depths of Yunluo Hall. The light pierced through the heavens and the earth, enveloping the entire Stone Ant City as soon as it appeared. It even covered a radius of a thousand miles outside of Stone Ant City.
Everyone in Stone Ant City suddenly felt a sharp pain on their skin. It was as if there was an invisible sword cutting into their skin bit by bit.
That omniscient sharp aura that covered the entire void made everyone's hearts tense up involuntarily.
What was that!?
Everyone looked at the depths of Yunluo Hall in shock. That aura was too terrifying. Even the aura released by Marquis of Abyss was not this terrifying.
Soon, everyone saw an azure ancient sword soar into the sky. It streaked across the sky and landed in Marquis of Abyss' hand.
Marquis of Abyss held the sword and his body sank slightly. His expression instantly became extremely serious.
It was as if he was not holding a sword, but an ancient divine mountain.
"The Mountain-Beheading Sacred Sword!"
Cries of surprise rang out in Stone Ant City. Many people recognized the origin of the sacred sword with a single glance.
The Mountain-Beheading Sacred Sword was one of Fukai no Seigoku's most important weapons. It was said that this sword had once slain a Great Sage and was stained with the blood and soul of a Great Sage. It was a truly lethal weapon.
There were very few weapons of the Great Sage on the continent, and the Mountain-Beheading Sacred Sword was one of them.
Furthermore, the Mountain-Beheading Sacred Sword was an extraordinary sword among all the weapons of the Great Sage on the continent.
Many people did not expect that Marquis of Abyss would bring Fukai no Seigoku's Mountain-Beheading Sacred Sword to the Tianlan Ruins. If this sword was lost, it would be an irreparable loss to Fukai no Seigoku. It would be even more serious than losing a Great Sage.
"The Mountain-Beheading Sacred Sword!"
Yun Xiangjun gasped. Her eyes were filled with worry. Fukai no Seigoku was truly vicious. He had even brought out the legendary Mountain-Beheading Sacred Sword.
Xi Qianye also sensed the peerlessly sharp aura behind him. A shocking sword intent had already locked onto him.
Xi Qianye's body trembled. He stopped slightly and turned around to look at the Marquis of Abyss.
Gu Yun and Gu Qingyan's delicate bodies trembled slightly. The holy sword's aura was mainly locked onto Xi Qianye's body, but even the slightest bit of it was still enough to cause the two of them to feel terrified.
A sense of horror welled up in them. It was as if they would be reduced to ashes if they touched the sword slightly.
"Xi Qianye, if you can block this sacred sword, then I really can't do anything to you. You can leave.
However, if you can't block it, then only death awaits you.
Once the sacred sword is unsheathed, I won't be able to control it completely. "
The Marquis of Abyss stared deeply at Xi Qianye. His gaze was rather complicated.
He had always thought highly of himself. In terms of talent, he did not lose to anyone on the continent. Even Gu Qingyan and Gu Yun, who had become Celestial Exalts, did not take them to heart.
However, Xi Qianye was the only young man he had ever deeply felt that he was inferior to.
In his lifetime, he had always been the one to go against the current, chasing after cultivators of the older generation.
However, he never expected that a young man would be able to stand against him one day.
"Before I draw my sword, there's still time to regret everything. My suggestion from before is still valid. I can even give you better treatment.
Of course, the prerequisite is that you make the right choice … "
Even now, the Marquis of Abyss was still somewhat unwilling to give up on recruiting Xi Qianye. Obtaining Xi Qianye was better than obtaining any treasure.
"It's just a Great Sage's weapon. Where do you get your confidence from?"
Xi Qianye smiled faintly. No matter how powerful a Great Sage's weapon was, the Marquis of Abyss was a Perfect Saint. It was impossible for him to truly unleash its full power.
The power of a Great Sage was not something that ordinary Saints could touch. Even the so-called forty-eight Saints were no exception.
The Marquis of Abyss sighed softly as disappointment flashed through his eyes.
Swish!
He did not hesitate any longer and directly slashed out with his sword.
Just a single strike had sucked away all of his Saint Qi. The Mountain-Beheading Sacred Sword shone with a scorching light.
In the next moment, a streak of sword light pierced through the air. It seemed to cross the distance of space and time, arriving before Xi Qianye in an instant.
Xi Qianye's expression was grim. With a wave of his hand, he pushed Gu Qingyan and the others a hundred kilometers away.
