Daily Intelligence, Starting Out I Obtain the Heaven-devouring Demonic Art

118: Sneak attack!As the five elders made their move, the effect was significant; Xie Linyuan was beaten back repeatedly, constantly coughing up blood.

”Through the battle just now, we’ve figured out your strength. You’re far too overconfident!”

A black-robed elder sneered, yet his attacks were surprisingly vicious, specifically targeting Xie Linyuan’s lower body.

The other elders also sneered, simply because they had already devised a plan to divide Xie Linyuan’s Storage Ring.

”Figured out my strength? Hmph! Hahaha! Just with you all?”

”I have to admit, you are indeed much stronger than those stray cats and dogs from before. Since that’s the case, let me show you my true strength!”

Xie Linyuan’s words fell.

His chest suddenly lit up with a brilliant golden light, as if a scorching sun had awakened within him.

The light pierced through his robes, transforming into a transparent saints heart phantom, about ten feet tall, hovering before his chest. Myriads of light particles flowed through its veins, like a galaxy surging within it.

Each beat of the saints heart phantom caused a sacred Aura to spread, and the air was filled with a powerful, awe-inspiring pressure.

Everyone around felt a violent tremor in their hearts, as if a majestic sacred mountain was pressing down on them.

It made them involuntarily kneel on the ground, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

”This is... a saints heart...! He actually transplanted a saints heart into his body...!”

Seeing this, the five elders’ expressions changed dramatically, and they cried out in alarm.

”The battle... has just begun!”

Xie Linyuan’s entire body surged with Battle Intent, and the saints heart phantom floating within him pulsed intensely. Each beat was like a clap of thunder exploding in the Void Realm.

His eyes were as sharp as blades, and the Qi and blood in his body resonated with the saints heart, producing a deafening roar.

Enveloped in golden sacred flames, he instantly transformed into a streak of light, carrying an Aura of world-destroying power, and shot towards the five elders ahead.

Wherever he passed, space rippled, leaving behind streaks of golden afterimages. The extremely sharp killing intent even caused the temperature of this world to plummet, becoming bone-chillingly cold, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

This was a full-power strike using the saints heart, intending to utterly crush all the great enemies in front of him.

Seeing this, the five elders’ faces changed drastically. They felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. After exchanging glances, they quickly joined forces to respond.

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

The two sides collided fiercely, and terrifying waves of power swept in all directions.

Puff! Puff! Puff!...

The five elders spat out blood, their faces pale.

Xie Linyuan’s Aura also weakened a bit. The power of the saints heart was indeed formidable, but its consumption was also terrifying.

Both sides once again fell into a standoff.

The elders’ expressions were grave. They no longer dared to underestimate Xie Linyuan, and a hint of retreat involuntarily arose in their hearts.

If they continued to fight, they didn’t know if they could take down Xie Linyuan, but their old bones would surely fall apart, and there was even a risk of death.

The next moment, Xie Linyuan took out a long sword.

”An... an ancient saint weapon...!”

Seeing this, the five elders couldn’t help but cry out in surprise.

This sword was named zhan tian sword.

Its blade was forged from Nine Heavens meteorite iron mixed with star sand, and its entire body was dark gold, yet it shimmered with a faint seven-colored light, as if the stars of the entire Universe had been melted into it.

Intricate ancient runes were carved on the blade. Each rune seemed to possess life, slowly flowing on the blade, emitting a heart-palpitating pressure.

As Xie Linyuan poured his magical power into it, the blade shone brightly, as if countless stars were burning on it.

The sharp Sword Qi it emitted seemed capable of tearing through the sky, splitting the firmament, and even dimming the sun, moon, and stars.

”Wait...! You may leave!”

Seeing this, the five elders no longer had any Battle Intent.

They had already been overwhelmed by the saints heart strike. Now, Xie Linyuan had even pulled out an ancient saint weapon. What was the point of fighting anymore?

If they continued to fight, they didn’t know if they could kill Xie Linyuan, but they might all die here.

This was a Saint’s descendant; not only was his strength terrifyingly powerful, but he also had supreme treasures protecting him.

”Not fighting anymore?”

Xie Linyuan sneered, the surging Battle Intent on him still hadn’t dissipated.

”No more fighting!”

The elders nodded, looking resigned, their expressions filled with apprehension towards Xie Linyuan.

”Hmph...!”

Xie Linyuan let out a cold snort and chose not to continue fighting either.

As a person from the Ancient Desolate Era and a Saint’s descendant,

if he didn’t establish his reputation, he would constantly face trouble in the future.

Now that his reputation was established, there was no need to continue fighting.

Moreover, even though he appeared calm and formidable now, he knew his own physical condition.

Knowing when to quit was his best choice at the moment.

”This is a Saint’s descendant; he is truly terrifyingly strong!”

”Indeed! Not only is he strong, but he also possesses a saints heart and an ancient saint weapon. There aren’t many people in the entire Xuan Province who can do anything to him, right!”

”That’s right...!”

Thus, under the awe-filled gazes of countless Cultivator, Xie Linyuan departed proudly.

Seeing this, Wang Teng immediately used the Formless Marvelous Art to conceal his Aura and quietly followed behind Xie Linyuan.

After Xie Linyuan and Wang Teng left the stone gambling venue, it gradually regained its liveliness.

However, the Saint’s descendant, Xie Linyuan, was still a topic of discussion among many Cultivator.

”Stolen...! Many valuable source stones are all gone!”

”Someone must have stolen the source stones during the chaos just now!”

”Damn it! All the valuable source stones have been stolen! Investigate... we must investigate until the truth comes out!”

”...!”

Just then, terrified voices rang out one after another from the stewards of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.

The theft of the source stones meant they bore an inescapable responsibility... On the other side... After Xie Linyuan completely left the stone gambling convention, he staggered a few steps, leaned against a large tree, and spat out several mouthfuls of blood, all traces of his previous composure and nonchalance gone.

”Hmph! You’ve followed me for so long, come out!”

Xie Linyuan let out a cold snort.

Wang Teng frowned, completely surprised that he had been discovered. As expected of a Saint’s descendant.

Just as Wang Teng was about to reveal himself, he suddenly stopped, because he wasn’t the only one who had followed Xie Linyuan; there was another person...

Sure enough, the other person, hearing this, directly revealed himself.

”What a Saint’s descendant, to actually be able to detect my presence, Youying!”

”Indeed, just as I guessed, you’ve reached the point of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside!”

Youying sneered.

”Strong on the outside but weak on the inside? But that’s enough to kill you!”

Xie Linyuan’s words fell, and without the slightest hesitation, he directly took out the ancient saint weapon Zhan Tian Sword and slashed at Youying.

Youying tried to dodge, but found that all his abilities seemed to have failed at this moment.

”No...!”

Youying’s expression changed drastically.

With a puff!

He died completely.

”An ant-like thing!”

Xie Linyuan revealed a disdainful sneer.

Afterward, he prepared to find a safe place to recuperate.

But just then... With a puff!

A sword tip instantly pierced through the back of his heart.

”There’s... still someone else?”

Xie Linyuan’s face showed pain, and a question mark even appeared above his head...
