Chapter 1863: Chapter 1860: Protector
The elder extended his palm and gently waved, instantly fixing the Half Moon Sword Qi in the sky.
The next moment, the Half Moon Sword Qi seemed to be pierced by a great energy and then vanished into the void.
"What happened? What’s going on?"
Those Kings did not understand what happened, but powerful figures like the ancient cultivators frowned.
To be honest, they knew that Ten Thousand Thunder Saint was dangerous, but they weren’t too worried.
Because they knew that there would definitely be a Guardian protecting Ten Thousand Thunder Saint.
Indeed, for Supreme Geniuses like Saint Heirs from Holy Land and Sacred Bodies and Divine Bodies from Ancient Families, there are surely protectors by their side.
Such people are called Protectors.
They don’t usually appear, but they only act when the Saint Heirs are faced with life-threatening danger.
At this moment, as Ten Thousand Thunder Saint faced a threat to his life, his Protector finally took action.
Lin Xuan saw this scene and his pupils shrank sharply.
That terrifying Half Moon Sword Qi was blocked so easily, making him find it unbelievable.
The next moment, he saw an elder beside Ten Thousand Thunder Saint and was immensely shocked.
"Great Power!"
Upon seeing this, Lin Xuan’s whole body was bristling, fully prepared to leave at any moment.
Indeed, with a Great Power protecting the opponent, it seems impossible to kill him this time.
However, he still had confidence in escaping.
After all, he possessed the Heavenly Dragon Eight Steps, which grants extreme speed.
After obliterating the Half Moon Sword Qi, the Protector didn’t attack Lin Xuan, which surprised Lin Xuan.
Seeing the Protector emerge, Ten Thousand Thunder Saint was overjoyed.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Elder, kill him!"
However, the Protector shook his head: "My duty is to ensure your safety; I will not attack anyone."
With that, the Protector ignored Ten Thousand Thunder Saint and looked towards Lin Xuan, saying somberly: "You won this battle."
"But don’t get too complacent; cultivation is like rowing against the current, failing to advance means falling back."
"I will take him back to cultivate. The next time you meet, who will win is uncertain."
"You lost, come back with me."
The Protector turned to Ten Thousand Thunder Saint again: "As for what you lost, you need to reclaim it with your own hands."
"Others cannot help you."
"Yes!"
Ten Thousand Thunder Saint nodded, filled with reluctance.
He knew that he couldn’t kill his opponent this time, but he swore to kill him next time!
"Kid, prepare yourself; next time we meet, I’ll personally kill you!"
"Retrieve the Hell Divine Spear and the Innate Purple Thunder Stone."
With those words, he turned and flew away.
And the Protector’s figure gradually disappeared into the void.
Seeing Ten Thousand Thunder Saint and the Protector leave, Lin Xuan sighed in relief. He didn’t fear Ten Thousand Thunder; however, the threat posed by the Protector was indeed too great.
Fortunately, the opponent did not attack; otherwise, a brutal battle would have ensued.
The surrounding Kings were indeed greatly shocked watching this scene unfold.
He lost; Ten Thousand Thunder Saint actually lost, which is definitely shocking news across the world!
And it seems that Lin Xuan’s reputation will quickly spread throughout the Northern Domain and even the East Desolate Continent.
After all, defeating a Saint Heir is definitely a tremendous honor.
Mighty figures like ancient cultivators and other strong people were all solemn.
"Not even Ten Thousand Thunder Saint won, this young man is really impressive."
"A golden era indeed!"
"Besides the Heavenly Pride from Holy Land and genius from Ancient Families, other places are filled with Devils rampantly, talents emerging aplenty."
"This is definitely a golden era in the Cultivation World; hopefully, a Great Emperor might emerge in this lifetime!"
Everyone sighed, feeling the pressure mounting as more and more talented strong figures appear.
This is a competitive era where everyone strives hard in cultivation, fighting to leap over the Dragon Gate and become Supreme in the world.
And this path can only be tread by the strongest.
On the other side, Lin Xuan also utilized the Heavenly Dragon Eight Steps to quickly leave this place.
As the crowd was still bewildered, he hurried away; otherwise, it would be troublesome if a Great Power targeted him.
The fact that the Protector didn’t attack him does not mean other Great Powers wouldn’t.
After all, in his hands are treasures like the Innate Purple Thunder Stone, Ten-thousand-year-old Spiritual Liquid, and Hell Divine Spear, which are enough to make one jealous.
In an instant, Lin Xuan disappeared into the night sky, his whereabouts unknown.
Some mindful Great Powers sighed, shook their heads, and did not continue to act.
His speed is no weaker than theirs, and being a step too late, it’s impossible to catch up with him.
Without assured victory, they were unwilling to provoke a young Heavenly Pride.
After all, if he grew, his potential would be limitless and exceptionally terrifying.
In the vast mountains far from Purple Cloud City, Lin Xuan emerged, opening a cave for retreat, and then went in to close-door train.
He effortlessly set up some arrays, then entered the Black Soil.
Inside Black Soil, the Dark Red Divine Dragon had already reached the final stage, the evaporation to fight against Great Power was about to complete.
On the other side, Liu Mingyue was also in closed-door training, fully breaking through.
Lin Xuan did not disturb these two but chose a place for a rest. After all, today’s battle with Ten Thousand Thunder Saint was indeed too perilous.
This time, he also realized the combat power of Saint Child Level, which is formidable.
If not for having the Dragon Sword Soul, it would be difficult to defeat the opponent.
Moreover, killing the opponent would also be extremely challenging.
Let’s not mention that these Saint Children have numerous secret techniques and magical treasures at hand, and fearsome Protectors by their side, making it exceedingly difficult to kill them under normal circumstances.
However, Lin Xuan achieved significant results this time.
First, he defeated Ten Thousand Thunder Saint, gaining immense fame and honor.
Additionally, he obtained the strongly defensive Mysterious Armor, the life-restoring Ten-thousand-year-old Spiritual Liquid, and the powerful attacking Hell Divine Spear.
These three treasures are incredibly precious, enough to make Great Powers envious, markedly enhancing Lin Xuan’s combat and defensive power.
With such treasures, his confidence in killing Wanchu Saintess would be greater.
Subsequently, Lin Xuan pressed his palm, slowly entering a cultivation state to recover all the spiritual power lost and injuries sustained today.
Three days later, Lin Xuan opened his eyes, his body having reached the peak.
Another ten days passed, the Dark Red Divine Dragon’s array finally was completed. Meanwhile, Liu Mingyue also emerged from her retreat.
Liu Mingyue, dressed in a blue skirt, looked exquisite, as if a Fairy had descended.
The aura around her had grown significantly stronger.
Clearly, during this retreat, she utilized countless Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to once again enhance her strength.
On the other side, the Dark Red Divine Dragon laughed heartily: "Great, it’s finally completed!"
In his hand was an array, flickering with Mysterious Dao Patterns.
Lin Xuan and Liu Mingyue walked over to examine the array closely.
Then Liu Mingyue softly asked, "Can this array truly counteract Great Powers?"
