Paragon Of Sin-Novel

Chapter 1418 Chapter 1412: CKC, Valkyrie (16)

The woman beside Yi Yun's eyes constricted to an extreme as that demonic-looking, charcoal-skinned, bloody teeth Evil Sentinel set his gaze and unholy intentions upon her. She didn't need Yi Yun's reminder of the dangers of obtaining that man's attention, her Mystic Aura unfurled with an explosion burst as she reached out, clutching Yi Yun's waist like a damsel in distress, taking off with the suddenness of lightning and the swiftness of wind.

She was named Yi Xuehan; she had the same written character of her surname as Yi Yun but without any bloodline relation. She had initially felt that this was a strange occurrence of fate, causing her to grant Yi Yun a little more attention than normally, finding out all of his oddities meanwhile. She had even voiced her desire to spare him to Lin Kang despite his rat-like attempts at hiding from their searches.

WHOOSH!

Yi Xuehan unleashed a Minor Ascension Movement Art. Her wind and lightning dual power usage granted her exceptional speed, and she was like a blitzing storm.

"What a fast little fish!" The charcoal-skinned Evil Sentinel saw this and released a manically twisted chuckle. His lips flashed a bloody smile as he exerted his Mystic Heart Intent. A domineering will derived from a portion of the Mystic Dao unfurled across the landscape. Within a single blink of an Ascended's eye, Yi Xuehan found herself affected.

She was instantly met with a strong resistance from the ambient energies and essences.

"WATCH OUT!" Yi Yun shouted in panic as a wall of mystic energy condensed seemingly out of nowhere emerged ahead of them. Yi Xuehan had long sensed the abnormality, but her body was being besieged by ambient power, and her own Mystic Power's circulation and flow were forcefully being impeded by the invasive will. She didn't even have Awakened Mystic Intent or World Heart Intent to try resisting, and her pathetic Awakened Intents beneath the Apex-level were only enough to allow her energies to move with the force and speed of a snail.

Yi Xuehan blanched as her body tensed. She consciously used half of her body to protect Yi Yun's mortal body, pointing her shoulder toward the incoming wall.

BOOM!!

She slammed violently into the wall of mystic energy. She didn't break through, however. The energy was unimaginably sturdy, constantly reinforced, so she smashed into it like a mortal body smacking against cement. Blood gushed out of her mouth with force that could split metal and her bones made an eerily heart-wrenching cracking and snapping sound that could birth nightmares.

She was only a Demi-Mortal Lord! When she had tried to initiate her Demi-Mystic State earlier, the Mystic Runes within her body were being violently hampered by the Mystic Heart Intent and its absurdly powerful invasive will. She was prevented from doing so!

She could barely unleash her Minor Ascension Movement Art. Yi Xuehan was drowning in despair. If Tambu Ma, a genuine Earthly Saint, was in abject fear after sensing the Mystic Heart Intent, how could she not be? But she didn't think that fearsome existence would target her of all people when there were tens of thousands of others present!

How unlucky!

Yi Yun's body was fairly protected. If not, even his refined physique would have exploded upon meeting that wall at such rampant speeds. He could've died. Unfortunately, he didn't have the luxury of contemplating his near-death experience. Yi Xuehan's body was captured by miniature hands that extended out of the wall, grasping at her body without restraint or reservation.

Yi Yun hastily tried to unleash attacks against those hands, but the speed they reformed was indescribably fast. Moreover, his speed was still within Mortal Limits. For each one he could hinder, seven more grabbed at Yi Xuehan.

Moreover, there was a chilling sensation dripping down his neck and spine. Fear seized his heart as he turned. Standing no more than a few tens of feet away, a charcoal-skinned Evil Sentinel was standing there, hovering mid-air, observing with a curious smile like one would find watching desperate animals struggle to survive.

Regardless of whether he conjured that obstruction or not, without her Demi-Mystic State and under the incessant and invasive hindrance of his Mystic Heart Intent, Yi Xuehan's escape was an impossibility the moment he decided to set his sinister gaze on that exceptional body of hers.

"You-" Yi Yun was at a complete loss for words, unable to properly think at this moment of anything but a way to survive. He had never experienced such a calamity before. This situation...

What should he do?

What can he do?

His mind exhausted his mental energy at an unprecedented rate, yet every single one of his trump cards and life-saving tools was useless before a Worldly Saint. To Yi Yun, this figure was a Worldly Saint with an unfathomable aura and Intent that vastly exceeded his imagination.

Is this it?

"Let...let him go, an-and I won't resist." Yi Xuehan gathered an incredible amount of inner strength as she spoke through a spurt of blood and pain. Her injuries were extremely severe. Almost every bone in her body was broken or snapped and her ability to alleviate her pain or injuries with mystic power was being ruthlessly suppressed by Mystic Heart Intent.

However, she was someone who remembered favors and enmity alike, repaying them all tenfold. Yi Yun had once saved her life with that warning and that kiss, recalling the scene of Bloodforge Canine's vicious snarls and murderous howls all bypassing her was forever etched into her heart. When she learned it was all due to Yi Yun, Yi Xuehan refused to die without repaying this debt.

"How amusing! An Ascended willing to sacrifice their life for a mortal? What an incredibly moving sight." The charcoal-skinned Evil Sentinel said in a falsely admiring tone. By this point, the Evil Sentinels were already on the hunt as they began to find Chosen from the Sealed Regions and World Beyond alike and unleash hell upon these vast lands.

Those in his group spread out to hunt, allowing their group leader to have his fun.

The charcoal-skinned Evil Sentinel licked his lips with hunger. This young woman's Primal Yin was extremely delicious to his eyes. She must have cultivated a type of Yin Method that was borderline meant for Yin Cauldrons, but likely used as an auxiliary method to bolster her own cultivation speed by improving Primal Yin's innate yin energies. What a pleasant surprise!

Having deduced that, he was excited to indulge with relish.

As for Yi Yun?

The charcoal-skinned Evil Sentinel could toss him aside like a bag of sacks and give him no further attention; in fact, he felt the sudden, inexplicable urge to do just that, but when he recalled that silver-eyed Overseer's explicit orders, his expression changed slightly as that unreasonably, uncharacteristic urge was violently suppressed.

He reached out toward Yi Yun, aiming to kill him. It would only take a single breath of his for such a fragile mortal.

"NO!" Yi Xuehan's eyes widened as she sensed the strength gathering upon Yi Yun's body. She wanted to try to resist, but her mystic power could barely circulate, and her body was being grappled by countless hands. She couldn't move!

Yi Yun's eyes bulged violently, nearly popping out of his eye sockets. At the most intense moment of dreadfully approaching death, he couldn't help but think about his sister and mother. They were both safe in the Neo-Dawn Starfield, located in one of their no-conflict cities. This gave him a surge of soothing comfort. Given Wei Wuyin's authority and the Ascendant's presence, there was almost no chance that they would suffer in the future.

He had a lot of regrets.

A lot.

So, so many.

The soothing comfort was scattered by a scathing reluctance that couldn't be suppressed by the heavens themselves. His gaze toward the charcoal-skinned Evil Sentinel was filled with vim and rancor.

THIS OLD BASTARD!

"Enough!"

A voice cascaded down from the heavens, incomparably mighty, unimaginably fierce, and exceptionally majestic.

The charcoal-skinned Evil Sentinel halted as their ears rang, causing him to lift his head to the sky and notice a figure engulfed in fiery light descending from the heavens. His pupils constricted as a raging spiritual strength poured into his Mystic Soul.

He grimaced as he hurriedly flashed backward. A tinge of uncontrollable fear had infused itself into his Mystic Soul, forcing him into an instinctively passive and defensive position. He hadn't even been able to properly consider the situation before he reacted.

His Mystic Heart Intent retracted as he readied to defend himself against a strong enemy!

Yi Xuehan was freed; Yi Yun was saved; A white-haired woman arrived beside both of them, exuding a godly fiery aura that vastly exceeded her power, seemingly exuding faint wisps of a Worldly Saint's aura, and she grabbed them both. Without even giving anyone time to react, her slender body blasted through the sky!

Flee!

Yi Yun was stunned, but he instantly recognized his savior! Those eyes that shone like treasured rubies and natural beauty that was in no way inferior to Na Xinyi or Xue Yifei were none other than his Big Sis Yongli!

San Yongli!

He was clamoring with joy from the depths of his soul, unable to hold his shout as he called out her name. However, how could San Yongli possibly be in the mood for a great reunion? She was currently executing a false aura art to exert the presence of a Worldly Saint. While it was hollow, she could mimic the vast mighty presence of the Aeternal Sky Divine Emperor or the Trueborn's leader.

To the charcoal-skinned Evil Sentinel, he likely felt as if an enemy of equal strength had descended. She could only use this three times, and she had already used it twice, once to retrieve a treasured item in the Sealed Regions' abandoned stellar regions from a strange creature born from the void, and once to instill fear into a vagabond of a Venerable in her early days.

This was her third time.

"..." San Yongli was rapidly thinking as she moved. Eventually, her falsely elevated aura would fade, and that Evil Sentinel would chase after her. There was no place to hide in these vast lands from an Earthly Saint with Mystic Heart Intent. All her Environmental Integration Spells would be instantly seen through by that pervasive, invasive will.

She could only hope that the charcoal-skinned Evil Sentinel would be held up by-

"YOU DARE TAKE MY PREY?!"

San Yongli's face instantly fell as the raging roar resounded behind her. This was why this method wasn't very useful against cultivators of similar power. Why would they be afraid of an expert of similar strength, let alone an Evil Sentinel designed to fight and slaughter!

"Big Sis Yongli! What do we do?" Yi Yun realized that San Yongli's situation wasn't as he had expected.

San Yongli cursed internally. Such a stupid question! She was a mere Timelord! Her opportunity to ascend and touch upon the Mystic Dao hadn't arrived yet. She was a little too impulsive earlier.

Yi Xuehan's bloodied face lifted to see that she was being carried by a slender arm at the waist, held quite intimately at that. She didn't initially say anything as the aura this woman was emitting was utterly breathtaking, but the more she sensed the aura, the less stable it seemed. Was this her power? Why did the aura seem so...flimsy?

A blitzing wind could be felt behind San Yongli's back. A large hand reached to grab at her slender neck with spirit-ravishing, hunger-infused Mystic Power. The charcoal-skinned cultivator's Awakened Intent was of Predation! The same Intent comprehended by Zuhei!

She gritted her teeth as she tapped her shoes three times with an abnormally fast speed. A burst of light-grayish light flashed as void energy fluctuations rippled outwards.

The hand gripped nothing but air!

"What?!" The charcoal-skinned Evil Sentinel was baffled. However, his Mystic Heart Intent immediately descended upon half the world, locating Yi Yun's mortal aura instantly. He growled a bestial growl and executed Spatial Shift!

San Yongli, with two people in her arms, landed upon a desert region and she didn't hesitate to tap her shoes again. She vanished once again!

A microsecond later, the charcoal-skinned Evil Sentinel arrived with his Mystic Aura unfurled, attempting to seal San Yongli's movements. His expression changed subtly, but he immediately sent out his Intent, once again finding Yi Yun's aura.

He realized that the newcomer's aura was false after they initially vanished, the flimsiness of that aura was easily seen through when one paid close enough attention to it. "I'll consume you all!" He growled before spatially shifting.

"Damnit!" San Yongli violently cursed in her heart. Her void boots were being drained of their limited usage. This was a peerless escape tool from the past era before the Sealed Region's written history, and she had found it from the ruins of a great battle that was supposed to belong to some future Emperor. That Emperor's name was no longer in her book, likely the calamity they faced without the boots was too much.

She had once felt a little saddened by this, but after that, she didn't have to worry about taking the other treasure there. Normally, she tried not to change things too heavily in the book, but even she was learning how to properly obtain the most benefits in the long-term from this. Of course, this was before Wei Wuyin had changed her perspective of this.

Was she going to have to fight this person?

It's not as if she was without means, but she would rather save them for someone else or at a more critical time! Unfortunately, she could no longer hesitate.

She didn't dare to use her Soaring Void Boots again, turning around and tossing the two. "Get him away!" She said as her Worldly Domain unfurled! Her Astral Core erupted with blinding radiance, exposing itself in her Dantian! Moreover, she exuded a unique bodily aura that was in total harmony with the world's mana-True World Resonance Body!

Yi Yun was stunned at the sight as Yi Xuehan had already been freed from the Mystic Heart Intent's suppression and reacted with utmost speed, grabbing Yi Yun and executing her Demi-Mystic State. Her body was wreathed in wind and lightning as her skin gained a resemblance to a cloud's fluffy whiteness and she ran!

WHOOSH!

"You think you can escape?" The charcoal-skinned Evil Sentinel descended almost instantly in a flash of silvery light.

"You think you can live?" San Yongli's Worldly Domain unfurled to its maximum extent! She had steeled her resolve to fight!

The charcoal-skinned Evil Sentinel glanced at this white-haired beauty with a ray of surprise in his eyes.
