Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 902 Exposed
Although Ye Xuan has killed many people since he started practicing martial arts, it was basically because the other party provoked him first and wanted to harm him, so he killed them. He had never done such a thing as killing people for treasure without any grudges.

If other people knew about Ye Xuan's idea, they would probably laugh at his naivety, but this was Ye Xuan's bottom line and he didn't want to cross it, especially since it was used as medicine to make pills.

So, what if we don’t kill anyone but just steal the treasure?

This is possible. After all, the sword embryo has been hidden here for who knows how many years. It is an ownerless object and anyone with the strength can snatch it. However, facing Zeng Zhilong, who is at the great sage level, it is extremely difficult to seize the treasure.

Seeing that the struggling waves emanating from the sword embryo were getting weaker and weaker, Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel a little anxious, fearing that it would be subdued by Zeng Zhilong soon. He really didn't want to miss this rare treasure. After hesitating for a moment, his eyes suddenly determined and he finally made a decision.

Rob!!

No matter what, he has the time acceleration and space laws, so he still has a certain chance of escaping.

He had decided to take action at the moment when Zeng Zhilong completely suppressed the sword embryo. He would launch a surprise attack with his divine thoughts to create a split second of opportunity. After grabbing the sword embryo, he would immediately escape and try to avoid fighting with the opponent.

"Click..."

However, things did not develop as Ye Xuan had imagined. Just when he made a decision, a slight sound of earth and rocks breaking suddenly reached his ears, causing his face to change suddenly.

"Bang!!" When Ye Xuan looked up in shock, he heard a loud bang above his head. Amidst the flying gravel, a thick black shadow emerged from the top of the cave and rushed over as fast as lightning!

"The perfect poison vine in the holy realm!!" Seeing the black shadow and feeling the strong breath of danger, Ye Xuan's pupils shrank slightly. In shock, he urged his holy power and his body blurred. His figure teleported away in an instant, and he narrowly avoided the "sneak attack" of the poison vines above.

However, in this way, Ye Xuan's whereabouts were completely exposed...

"Someone!!"

A cry of surprise came from the center of the cave. The three saints all looked over in shock. Even Zeng Zhilong's expression sank and he looked over intently.

"Really..." Ye Xuan's body teleported in the void and completely entered the spacious cave from the passage. He glanced at the four people from the albino sect who were looking at him, and a trace of helplessness appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was really that plans could not keep up with the changes. He was just planning to wait for a sneak attack, but he was unexpectedly "ambushed" by the poison vine. It was not that he was too careless, but that the poison vine was too well hidden. Even though he had carefully used his divine sense to explore the surroundings when he came, he could not find the hidden poison vine above his head.

“Swoosh!!” “Chirp!!”

Ye Xuan did not have time to sigh, because before he even landed, the poison vines were already chasing him like a giant python. Not only that, the poison vine beasts around him also reacted quickly, and immediately dozens of poison vine beasts nearby changed direction and rushed over.

Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, blue flames flashed around him, and a circle of flames spread out. At the same time, he raised his right hand, and a purple holy sword instantly appeared in his hand. He slashed out fiercely with the sword's strong light.

The sword light whizzed out accompanied by blue flames, and with a "bang" it slashed at the pursuing poisonous vine. Some venom splashed out, leaving a long gap in the poisonous vine. Although it failed to cut it off, it was shaken to a stop. After the sword light dissipated, the blue fire entangled the poisonous vine like a maggot, and spread all the way, wrapping up the entire vine in the blink of an eye.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..." The moment the poison vine was wrapped by the Heavenly Star True Flame, its entire body shook, and then countless tiny 'pores' appeared on the vine, and wisps of dark green venom spurted out, dispersing into poisonous mist that condensed three inches from the surface, forming a layer of protection that blocked the Heavenly Star True Flame outside. At the same time, the entire poison vine began to twist wildly, as if trying to get rid of the Heavenly Star True Flame.

At the same time, the spiritual fire shield, which had spread to a size of about ten feet and then fixed itself, was also filled with dull impact sounds, followed by emotionless but sharp and piercing weird cries and the sizzling sound of objects being burned. The poison vine beasts swarmed up one after another, but were all blocked by the Heavenly Star True Flame shield. After they came into contact with the spiritual fire shield, they were entangled by the Heavenly Star True Flame, and then fell from the air like dumplings. When they hit the ground, they had become a pile of charcoal, and the flames that burned them did not go out, but flew back and merged into the spiritual fire shield.

These poison vine beasts posed no threat to Ye Xuan. His eyes were fixed on the poison vine that was constantly twisting and struggling. He raised his right hand and flicked his five fingers, controlling the large piece of Heavenly Star True Flame to tightly wrap the poison vine and prevent it from breaking free. However, this poison vine was obviously much more powerful than all the poison vines he had dealt with before. Although it was obvious that it was also very afraid of spiritual fire, it did not suffer any damage at this moment. The protective light of the poisonous fog on the surface flashed, and there was no sign of collapse.

It can be seen that at first the poison vine seemed to want to break free from the spiritual fire and continue to attack Ye Xuan, but after repeated failed attempts, it began to shrink back. Ye Xuan frowned slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he did not forcibly stop it, but let it shrink back into the cave wall at the exit of the passage, because he had already realized that if he insisted on burning this poison vine, it would probably take some effort, and this was not a top priority, so he gave up this plan.

Presumably, the poison vine would not come out again for a while. Ye Xuan glanced at the poison vine beasts around him that were still fearlessly rushing towards him. He ignored them and turned to look at the four people from the albino sect in the center of the venue.

……

At this moment, several people from the Baihua Sect, including Zeng Zhilong, were looking at Ye Xuan with surprise. When Ye Xuan first appeared, although they were all surprised, they subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when they found out that the newcomer was only at the Saint Realm, because in their opinion this would not pose any threat. However, after just a moment, when they saw that the poisonous vine was easily forced back by Ye Xuan, this idea was completely overturned.

When they saw the poison vine and Ye Xuan appear together before, they were all shocked, because they had been here for so long and had not noticed the existence of this poison vine. If they were suddenly attacked by this poison vine, even Zeng Zhilong would not be able to deal with it safely. But now they were lured out by a sudden intrusion of the holy realm. In some ways, this should even be considered a blessing.

At first, they all thought that Ye Xuan would definitely be strangled by the poison vines soon, and they were already considering how to deal with the poison vines afterwards. However, they did not expect that it was Ye Xuan who forced the poison vines back in the end. Looking at the Heavenly Star True Flame surrounding Ye Xuan, Zeng Zhilong frowned slightly.

"Strong cross-level combat ability! Who is this person?"

"He looks familiar. I've seen him somewhere before... Oh, right! He's the young man from Xuanyun Sect. I think his name is Ye Xuan!"

"Is it him?! It is said that he has a strong cross-level combat ability. Now it seems that his reputation is well-deserved. But how did he find this place?"

"It doesn't matter how he found this place. What matters is what we should do next. If he wants to fight us, it will probably be very troublesome..."

"Hey, the martial arts aura on him is not right. Didn't he just advance to the Saint Realm? How come his martial arts realm is already above the third level of the Saint Realm!?"

The three saint elders of the Baihua Sect talked in a low voice for a few words with somewhat unpleasant expressions, and finally turned their eyes to Zeng Zhilong in the center, wanting to hear his decision.
