Ye Haochuan felt as if ti had co to a standstill; it was unbearably slow.
At that mont, the Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage cultivator was attacking Ye Haochuan’s soul like a madman. Even though Ye Haochuan’s soul strength was high, he couldn’t withstand this.
After a brief confrontation, Ye Haochuan’s soul began to be continuously defeated and devoured by the opponent. In a very short ti, Ye Haochuan’s soul power shrank by a full one-third.
Moreover, as the soul power weakened, the speed of being devoured rapidly increased.
Damn it, if I had known this guy’s soul was so formidable, I wouldn’t have so confidently assured that woman earlier.
Ye Haochuan felt a tinge of regret in his heart.
He really underestimated this Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage cultivator. He thought his soul strength was high, and delaying for a minute would be as easy as pie.
But the reality proved that he did not fully understand the strength of Immortal Transformation cultivators.
However, things had already reached this point, and regretting was useless. Whether it was for the reward promised to Le Yao or for his own safety, he could only grit his teeth and persist.
Unable to resolve Ye Haochuan within a short ti, the cultivator was clearly getting a bit anxious. In such urgency, it was inevitable to reveal so flaws, giving Ye Haochuan a mont of respite.
Only twenty seconds left, I don’t know if that girl can succeed?
Ye Haochuan calculating the ti silently in his mind.
Trying to silently kill a strong opponent with similar cultivation in under a minute is clearly no easy task.
Ye Haochuan didn’t know what trump card Le Yao would use, but he figured that woman wouldn’t be one to exaggerate such matters.
Ten seconds left, Ye Haochuan’s soul power had been devoured by more than half.
Ye Haochuan only felt that at this mont his soul also started to feel a sense of fatigue. A soul half injured definitely counted as a severe injury, even if he escaped back, it would not be easily healed.
Moreover, soul damage would affect control over the body, thereby impacting the body’s combat effectiveness.
But, Ye Haochuan couldn’t care about that now, fighting with all his might to delay ti.
Being held up for so long, that Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage cultivator was already burning with anger, after failing to multitask, he beca enraged and started to frantically devour Ye Haochuan’s soul again.
Ye Haochuan felt bitter, continually suffering soul injuries made his thoughts beco unclear.
It’s almost ti, just five seconds...three seconds...
After the trial of the Path to Ascension, Ye Haochuan’s willpower seed to gain a boost once more, at such a critical mont, others would have collapsed long ago, yet he could still cling on.
...one second...ti’s up!
As Ye Haochuan’s soul power had less than one-fifth remaining, ti was finally up.
Ye Haochuan decisively sprang out of the Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage cultivator’s Sea of Consciousness and escaped.
The Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage cultivator did not possess the ability like the Ghost Escape Technique, trying to catch up to Ye Haochuan was evidently challenging.
Moreover, he didn’t have the mind to chase Ye Haochuan at the mont.
Ye Haochuan had co to lure the tiger away from the mountain; his biggest concern now was Gu Tian’s safety.
When he quickly returned to the room, he found Gu Tian already lying in a pool of blood with a terrified expression.
"Bastard!" He cursed furiously, then began to scour the surroundings frantically. It was as if he wanted to turn the whole room upside down, the noise of smashing and crashing kept going.
No wonder he would go crazy, although he didn’t seem very respectful to Gu Tian, Gu Tian is after all the young master of the Gu Family, dying like this is not easy to explain.
Moreover, he did have a "close relationship" with Gu Tian, so there was so sentint.
The guards outside the courtyard were startled by the commotion and rushed in. When they saw Gu Tian dead, they were almost scared silly.
"What are you standing there for? Quickly seal the entire residence...no, seal the entire town, no one is allowed in or out!" The Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage cultivator yelled angrily at the newcors.
The subordinates feared and quickly went to carry out the orders.
Then, the cultivator commanded the remaining people: "They shouldn’t have escaped far, have everyone search for , even if you turn over the entire house, find those assassins for !"
"Yes!" The guards promptly agreed, but imdiately looked bewildered and froze.
"Why are you still standing there? Looking for a beating?" The cultivator was already in a foul mood, and upon seeing this, got even more furious, looking as if he wanted to eat soone.
The Immortal Transformation Early Stage cultivator guarding the door mustered the courage, trembling as he asked: "High Steward, how many assassins are there, what level of cultivation, what characteristics do they have?"
The Nascent Soul Mid-Stage cultivator’s face suddenly turned blue; he genuinely did not know how many opponents there were, nor had he seen their level himself.
Being unable to identify the opponent’s characteristics, yet having the person he’d sworn to protect killed was simply endless sha.
After pondering for a long while, he finally answered: "At least two people, one of them should be near the Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage level, but the soul faces severe injuries, combat effectiveness would definitely be greatly reduced. As for the others...likely above the Immortal Transformation Early Stage!"
This answer was naturally speculative. Regarding Le Yao the guess was close, but for Ye Haochuan, it was vastly incorrect.
It’s impossible for him to know that Ye Haochuan’s soul strength was simply large, his actual cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul Peak.
The guards heard the cultivator’s words and did not dare to ask more and began a search starting from the courtyard.
That cultivator’s guess on Ye Haochuan’s cultivation was wrong, but one thing was spot on, which was that Ye Haochuan and others didn’t run far. Or rather, they essentially hadn’t had the ti to run.
"I say, since you could kill Gu Tian in seconds, why did you insist on needing a minute, causing to endure bitterly for so long, almost croaking! This deal was really a loss for !"
In a hidden corner, Ye Haochuan complained to Le Yao.
This corner had yet to be searched, and with both of them concealing their cultivation, it was temporarily safe.
Indeed, even Ye Haochuan himself hadn’t expected Le Yao to kill Gu Tian within re seconds. After all, with similar strength, Gu Tian shouldn’t have been so easy to defeat.
Apparently, Le Yao’s trump card should be powerful enough, otherwise, it wouldn’t be such an effortless victory.
"I told you a minute because I did indeed need so ti to figure out a few things!" Le Yao said with a smile, "Besides, when I said a minute, you didn’t look timid at all, how was I to know you were this weak?"
Le Yao’s mood was evidently good, no matter how, one of her objectives had been achieved.
Jeez, this is typical of pursuing personal goals regardless of others’ lives!
Ye Haochuan silently cursed in his heart.
