Chapter 828 Consecutive Beheadings
"This person..."
"Seems not to be from the Human Race..."
From a distance, Modan and Senior Can witnessed this scene, their expressions changing slightly as a small shock echoed in their hearts.
They did not recognize this person, but there was no doubt that the individual was a powerhouse of the Saint realm, and not one belonging to the Immortal Origin Holy Land's Saint realm.
Unexpectedly, in the cosmos, aside from the Immortal Origin Holy Land and the three major families, there were other Saint realm powerhouses.
It seemed that the world's powerhouses were more complex than they had imagined.
Hearing the earlier conversation between Yun Firestone and the black-robed elder, it was very likely that the black-robed elder wished to join the war. If he took the side of the three major families, it would mean that Lin Yun would have to battle four Saint realm powerhouses.
A feeling of concern for Lin Yun grew in their hearts, yet there was little they could do.
This space had already been sealed off; Modan could not contact the Holy Mother nor was he sure if the Holy Mother or the Immortal Origin Holy Land was aware of the situation here, or if they had sent any powerhouses to assist.
"Of course it is true!" The sight of the black-robed elder brought a look of pleasant surprise to Yun Firestone's face. As he spoke, he nodded quickly while resisting Lin Yun's rapid attacks.
"What Yun Firestone promised, we promise as well!"
"What Yun Firestone has pledged, the Eternal Family, Firestone, and Aolai three major families agree to!"
The powerhouses of the Eternal and Aolai families spoke in a heavy tone.
"Good! I will take you at your word, then count me in!" The black-robed elder nodded, and before the echo of his voice faded, he flashed to the center of the battlefield. In an instant, he reached the midst of the combat, joining forces with the Saint realm powerhouses of the three major families. He launched powerful attacks towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun's pressure immediately intensified, and he began to show signs of defeat.
Seeing this scene, the stirrings of activity around them intensified.
"Count me in as well!"
Almost immediately afterward, another potent presence emerged, the owner of the presence speaking faintly.
Another Saint realm powerhouse!
There were now five Saint realm powerhouses in all!
"Damn it..."
Lin Yun's face grew dark.
He wished he could use his Bloodthirsty Sword to swiftly slaughter all these Saint realm powerhouses, making them nourishment for his growth and the Bloodthirsty Sword's, to see to what extent the Bloodthirsty Sword would enhance him after absorbing the Saint realm powerhouses' essence blood.
However, it was clear that after the appearance of this fifth Saint realm powerhouse, such a possibility could no longer occur.
Even though the Bloodthirsty Sword still had a great deal of blood energy that hadn't been refined, once completely processed, his power could still increase a bit, but definitely not enough to contend with five Saint realm powerhouses.
After all, he was only at the first level of the Super Warrior realm, his cultivation far too low.
"Senior Modan, Senior Can, trouble you to protect Qingqing and the others and help them leave..." Lin Yun did not turn his head, but conveyed his request directly to Modan and Senior Can through telepathy.
"Okay!"
Modan and Senior Can quickly responded via telepathy.
They knew very clearly that at this time, they had completely become a burden to Lin Yun. Only by leaving could Lin Yun be reassured to leave himself.
Only... whether they could leave successfully was uncertain.
Worry blossomed in their hearts.
The complexity of this event had clearly exceeded their expectations.
"Quick, leave..."
"Do not stay here any longer..."
"This battle is about to end, we should not wait until the last moment, let's leave one step ahead..."
Some of the more fearful Cultivators, seeing things develop to this point, were also deeply alarmed, speaking out.
As they spoke, they turned and rapidly moved away from this battlefield, this starry sky.
"And me..."
"Add me to the count..."
Just then, a series of powerful auras emerged, quickly moving towards the battlefield where Lin Yun and the several Saint realm powerhouses were engaged in combat. Some of the more anxious Saint realm cultivators even took direct action against Lin Yun.
It seemed they feared missing out on the chance to join the forces of the three major families to eliminate Lin Yun and seize the opportunity presented by the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
This scene bore a striking resemblance to the earlier one, where a host of heavenly talents attacked Xia Qingqing, Lin Mengmeng and their group.
Only this time, the target was Lin Yun, whose power surpassed that of the average Saint realm, and the Saint realm powerhouses who only seemed to exist in legends. As each minor change occurred, it was as if it tugged at the very heartstrings of the entire cosmos.
Nan Eternal and Aolai Minglang, the four top-tier Super Warriors, were also astonished. They too had not anticipated that within their cosmos, there would be so many Saint realm powerhouses, and that so many of them would involve themselves in this event.
In truth, not just Nan Eternal and Aolai Minglang, but also the three Saint realm powerhouses from the three major families took deep breaths upon seeing this unfold. They had only had an inkling that other Saint realm powerhouses were nearby, watching, possibly waiting to swoop in at the last moment to reap the benefits of the struggle.
However, they had not anticipated so many Saint realm powerhouses observing the battle.
Observing the Saint realm powerhouses that had appeared, many whom they recognized, they had previously speculated whether these individuals had advanced to the Saint realm as well. After all, their talents and accumulation were no less than their own, and they too had experienced the opportunity from the Immortal Origin Holy Land thousands of years ago.
Given that the three major families each had Saint realm powerhouses emerge, the breakthrough of these individuals to the Saint realm seemed only natural.
There were also some people they did not recognize, but whom they seemed to have heard of.
All in all, the situation was somewhat beyond their expectations, yet somehow still fell within the realm of possibility.
"Well, the presence of so many Saint realm powerhouses gives us even greater confidence in contending with the Immortal Origin Holy Land. Even if the Immortal Origin Holy Land had three or five Saint realm powerhouses emerge to face us head-on, we might not necessarily be at a disadvantage..."
