Chapter 2397: Chapter 2395: The Fall of the Saint Chapter 2397: Chapter 2395: The Fall of the Saint A Thunder Dragon roared forth from his fist, crashing with devastating force, as his speed surged to its limits in an instant.
Within the blink of an eye, a ferocious martial technique struck Corbin Green’s body. Corbin didn’t even have time to react. The ground beneath his feet shattered under the immense force.
“The speed is decent, but this strength,”
Corbin smirked mockingly. “Trying to break through my defense with the power of just the Seventh Grade? What a joke. And that’s not even considering my magical artifacts.”
He grabbed the top of Ninth Cloud’s head with one hand, and in the next moment, crushed his skull like a watermelon.
“Senior Brother Ninth Cloud!”
The disciples rushing over from Demon-slaying Peak paled, some of the Junior Sisters even breaking into sobs.
Ninth Cloud from Demon-slaying Peak had always taken care of the Junior Brothers and Sisters, even lending his painstakingly earned points to Ethan Smith back then.
“Corbin Green, the Thunder Courtyard and your Green family will not rest until one of us is annihilated!”
A beautiful woman in a simple gown approached Corbin. Her face trembled as she looked at Ava Brown’s corpse. She was Lu Xue, one of Ella Jenkins’ directly transmitted disciples.
“While Edwin Garner and Hua Laopo are stalling the three Holy Lords,” Corbin sneered, “I want to see what you miserable wretches can do to me. Kill everyone from the Five Peaks! If you’ve gone this far, don’t hold back!”
Corbin laughed maniacally. He had always been the most gifted cultivator in the Green family.
But ever since falling in defeat to Ethan Smith, he had plummeted from his pedestal. His attempts to seize the Ji Family Treasure from Purgatory had also ended in failure, leaving his status within the clan much diminished.
Even Daphne Green, who arrived later in the Holy Region, had surpassed him in standing.
*Today, in this Thunder Courtyard, he finally regained that feeling of supremacy he once had.*
Pa!
Lu Xue pulled out a fiery red whip. Wherever the whip swung, explosive bursts erupted.
She walked toward Corbin step by step. Though her arm barely moved, the whip seemed alive, slithering around Corbin as if it were a poisonous snake ready to devour him.
“It turns out to be crafted from Demon Realm Devil Vine, seemingly imbued with consciousness. As expected of Demon-slaying Peak; wielding a Tribulation Crossing Artifact while being just True Saint of the Eighth Grade is absolute overkill.”
Corbin stood motionless, showing no signs of concern. He even took the time to evaluate Lu Xue’s weapon.
“Senior Sister Lu Xue, go for it! Slay this madman!”
Suddenly, a blizzard descended, snowflakes settling on Corbin.
A lone shadow coldly stared at him as Ethan Smith’s face radiated a terrifying killing intent that made the air around him chill.
“Die!”
Ethan’s body spun wildly before transforming into a blood-red spear.
The Devil Vine under Lu Xue’s control instantly shifted into a spear. As the spear struck, the space around its tip erupted in a horrifying sonic boom.
It pierced through Corbin’s skull.
“Amazing! Senior Sister Lu’s illusions are truly dreadful. So what if he’s the Saint of the Green family? He still fell for it!”
The disciples battling nearby on Flower Peak cheered. But just a second later, all sound abruptly ceased.
From within Corbin’s lifeless body, a spectral figure slowly emerged, walking silently while bearing Lu Xue’s Devil Vine spear embedded in its chest. The sight was immensely eerie.
The Corpse of an Immortal Saint!
Corbin had previously used this corpse against Ethan Smith, capable of unleashing ultimate strikes even under suppression from the Path of Heaven.
This corpse was considered a powerful magical artifact in the Tribulation realm, its defenses impenetrable by the Devil Vine spear.
“Well! Well! You actually managed to make me fall for an illusion!”
Corbin’s face twisted as he grappled with the shame of being tricked.
*And it was Ethan Smith who did it. That only fueled his growing anger.*
“Die!”
The Corpse of the Immortal Saint jumped forward with world-ending power, smashing Lu Xue into pulp.
The colossal impact caused Flower Peak to quake violently. The strike carried the force of the First Layer Tribulation Crossing!
At that moment, the factions from the three families, having completely broken ties due to Corbin, engaged in a frenzied slaughter.
Yet, the sudden assault of these elite forces inflicted disproportionately heavy casualties on Thunder Courtyard.
Bang!
Corbin looked up at the sky, where Emily Taylor stood amidst gathering thunderclouds. Laughing maniacally, he stomped the air and propelled himself directly to the summit of Flower Peak.
The Corpse of the Immortal Saint raised its fist high and struck down with devastating force.
*”Only I, Corbin Green, am the strongest! You dare to surpass me in breaking through, you wench!”*
*During ascension, one achieves critical enlightenment. Corbin’s strike aimed to destroy Emily in that profound moment.*
A hand suddenly grasped Corbin’s wrist. The monstrous strength of the Corpse of the Immortal Saint erupted, merging with Corbin’s power.
“The First Layer Tribulation Crossing power?”
Ethan said faintly.
Seeing Ethan, a trace of fear flashed in Corbin’s pupils.
Ethan looked down at the corpses littering the ground–Ava Brown, Lu Xue, Ninth Cloud, Willa…
*One familiar figure after another. His expression was so calm it struck terror into Corbin.*
“You’re putting on an act for me, huh?” Corbin sneered. “Without the suppression of the Path of Heaven, I can unleash the full power of the Corpse of the Immortal Saint! Die! Fusion of Saint and Immortal!”
The Corpse suddenly merged into his body, a terrifying aura erupting with overwhelming force.
His other hand shot toward Ethan’s throat like lightning. The sound of metal clashing exploded, ringing sharply.
Corbin’s three fingers shattered simultaneously, eliciting an agonized wail.
Suddenly the sound of thunder echoed hauntingly–
Under the monstrous roar of thunder.
Ethan’s body transformed into a massive electrical arc. In the next instant, he had grasped Corbin’s neck.
“You f***ing dare court death?”
Corbin’s bloodshot eyes burned red as Ethan hoisted him high above. Furious energy erupted from Corbin’s body.
Five imprint marks surfaced on Corbin’s body, transforming into five Talismans that slammed into Ethan with explosive speed.
The power of the Second Layer Tribulation Crossing erupted from the Talismans upon striking Ethan.
Ethan’s body jolted violently, a sweet metallic taste filling his throat.
“As expected of a Saint. The Golden Heavenly Path arrived only moments ago, yet the Green family has already handed you Second Layer Tribulation Talismans. Truly extravagant.”
Ethan coldly remarked, his face remarkably calm, though that only deepened the chill spreading through Corbin.
“You can’t kill me!” Corbin pleaded desperately. “If I die, the Green family and the Thunder Courtyard truly won’t rest until one obliterates the other. You wouldn’t want more deaths in Thunder Courtyard, would you?”
Seeing Ethan’s indifferent gaze, panic flooded Corbin’s expression.
“Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art.”
A streak of white lightning suddenly descended, piercing through Corbin’s skull with surgical precision.
Ethan let the now-charred corpse fall to the ground, then turned his gaze to the remaining figures around him.
In an instant, the Green family members present felt their minds go blank. One of their elders let out a shrill scream.
“Ethan Smith, you dare to kill the Saint of the Green family! Are you insane?”
Though Corbin’s status was no longer as lofty as before, he was still the Saint of a powerful aristocratic family.
This moment marked the fall of a Saint.
*Many hearts turned cold as they foresaw a Great war looming.*
