Chapter 1359: Battle Against The Saints

Yu Huayan, Di Ganning, the Darkdevil Sect's Great Saint, the Rat Assassins' Great Saint, the yellow-haired Great Saint, and the female Great Saint were joining hands. The gathering of six Great Saints gave rise to an absolutely terrifying force.

Apart from the six, four eighth-stage Saints had also joined in. These were the people that were only a step away from becoming a Great Saint. The 10 of them surrounded Xiang Shaoyun and sealed all his escape routes, preparing to slay this devil that had appeared before them. The rest of the onlookers retreated far away. Nobody dared to get anywhere near the battlefield. A battle of this level was not something even regular Saints could partake in.

Behind Di Lin's mask, a sneer formed as he muttered, "If you can survive even this, then the heavens itself must be helping you."

Di Mie snorted coldly, "This devil will never survive today."

Not far away, Song Tiandao had a complicated look in his eyes as he thought, What a pity. He once suffered a defeat in Xiang Shaoyun's hands. Now that his cultivation had grown, he wanted a rematch. Alas, the gap between them seemed to have grown even wider. Or, to be precise, Xiang Shaoyun had always kept his strength hidden. The two were never on the same level.

He was not alone in his thoughts. Many other genius cultivators present shared a similar sentiment. Each of them possessed astonishing talent and strength. Let alone killing a Great Saint, they couldn't even threaten one. Xiang Shaoyun had done something none of them could, dealing a great blow to their confidence.

"H-how can the overlord possess devil abilities? W-was this the side effect of reincarnation?" said Yu Caidie as tears trailed down her cheeks.

"Uncle, what should we do now? At this rate, the little ancestor will die," Xiang Feidian did not know what to do.

"Sigh. We can't do anything about this. The little ancestor will have to rely on himself," said Xiang Keren with a heavy sigh.

Dong Ziwan was becoming incredibly anxious. Just as she was about to rush out and help, her master appeared and knocked her unconscious before taking her away. As for Ouyang Chuanqi and Han Chenfei, they couldn't help even if they wanted to. They had complicated emotions as they still refused to believe that Xiang Shaoyun was a devil.

However, the proof was there for all to see. Thus, they didn't even dare to fight for Xiang Shaoyun, as it would only bring trouble to the organizations behind them. At present, Xiang Shaoyun's mind was completely empty as he fully focused his attention on his opponents.

Keeping all his weapons away, he used only his bare fists against his opponents. The primal inception energy was drawn from his body incessantly as he utilized the Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist alone to deal with everything thrown his way.

The god-grade weapons of Yu Huayan and Di Ganning posed the highest threat to him. If it wasn't for the Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist, he would have suffered injuries from the two weapons.

Endless saint-grade techniques bombarded him from all directions, not giving him even a moment of respite. The yin and yang energy swirling around Xiang Shaoyun formed a Yin Yang Shield that shifted the incoming attacks away while he focused on his weakest opponent.

An eighth-stage Saint was throwing attack after attack from far away, thinking that he was safe behind the front lines. When Xiang Shaoyun suddenly appeared before him, he nearly pissed his pants in fear.

"No—" The eighth-stage Saint didn't even have the courage to do anything. The first thing he did was plead for mercy, but his entire body was smashed into pieces before he could finish his words.

After killing the Saint, several attacks struck Xiang Shaoyun's back, blasting him away and causing him to cough up blood. The blood-soaked robe might have granted him incredible strength, but he was, after all, still not an actual Rebirth Realm expert.

Di Ganning unleashed an ocean of flame as he brandished his weapon repeatedly. As he attacked, it was as though a golden crow was advancing alongside him, leaving numerous wounds on Xiang Shaoyun's body. Yu Huayan manifested an ocean of flowers that constantly exploded. The endless explosions were enough to kill even Gods.

The other Saints were also attacking ceaselessly, giving Xiang Shaoyun a hard time. However, he faced them valiantly with his two lifetimes of battle experience, throwing punch after punch. As a nine-colored radiance shot forth, it struck the chest of a Great Saint that was hidden not far away. The Great Saint's chest cracked, and he was sent flying and coughing blood.

Xiang Shaoyun threw another punch at the same Great Saint. The punch was akin to a falling meteor, nearly killing the Great Saint. While Xiang Shaoyun was attacking, Yu Huayan's flowers struck his exposed back. His spine was nearly broken, but he still stood straight. He spun around and threw a punch at Yu Huayan, blasting her away and causing her to cough up even more blood.

Next, Di Ganning arrived and stabbed through Xiang Shaoyun's leg, causing his blood to spill. Infuriated, Xiang Shaoyun utilized the powers of yin and yang. Time itself reversed as Di Ganning's body turned into a child. His strength dropped rapidly as a solemn expression appeared on his face. The time reversal had affected not only Di Ganning but the other Saints as well. The numerous incoming attacks instantly weakened.

Time Rewind!

This was the third time technique Xiang Shaoyun had comprehended. Its might far surpassed the previous two techniques, and it could cause time to turn backward, returning one's youth. Such a thing was supposed to be something joyful, but along with the return of youth, one's strength would also drop, causing the Saints to panic.

The primal inception energy was astonishingly powerful, while the dao of time was a fatal power that could interrupt one's state of mind. Nobody within Xiang Shaoyun's range of attack could escape the effect of time, allowing Xiang Shaoyun to launch his counterattack.

Whoosh!

He slashed with his nameless finger sword, which was sharper than an actual sword. Instantly, several heads were sent flying, including Di Ganning's. Yu Huayan had the fastest reaction and only suffered an injury to her chest instead of losing her life.

Of the 10 attackers, only four remained. By killing one of them earlier and killing five more with this one slash, Xiang Shaoyun showcased his seemingly unstoppable, incredible combat strength.

Di Ganning tried to rejoin his severed head with his body, but Xiang Shaoyun naturally wouldn't give him the chance to do so. Once again, he punched with the Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist.

Di Ganning hurriedly escaped under his god-grade weapon's protection. The yellow-haired Great Saint beside him wasn't as lucky and was smashed into pieces by Xiang Shaoyun. The other Saints were also killed one after another. Apart from Di Ganning, not one of them survived.

With Xiang Shaoyun's current combat strength being comparable to a God's and his primal inception energy, nobody below the Rebirth Realm could be his match. Even Yu Huayan was starting to feel hopeless. The other three survivors and Di Ganning were also starting to cower. Who could face a young war god like this?

"Shit!" Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to continue attacking, his aura started dropping, causing his face to sink.
