Chapter 3407: Chapter 3407: Yu’er’s Karma (Part 1)

Before long, Chen Xuanyu and the Nine Nether Tiger were the first to arrive at Boundary City, reaching the entrance of the Ancient Battlefield.

The entrance stone door was tightly locked, with layers of prohibition runes flowing across it.

Chen Xuanyu walked up to the stone door and pushed hard, but the door did not budge, and the prohibition runes on it shone even brighter.

"Something’s strange."

Chen Xuanyu frowned. He was a master at the second-level of the Holy Ancestor Realm. With one push, he could flatten a mountain, but this stone door didn’t move at all.

"Break for me!"

Seeing this, Chen Xuanyu drew out the axe from his waist, spiritual energy gathered in his hands, and he swung it fiercely at the stone door.

Clang!

On the stone door, the prohibition runes surged, forming a thick iron wall that easily blocked his strike.

Chen Xuanyu’s face changed slightly, feeling a huge rebound force, causing him to take several steps back.

"Useless, let me do it!"

The Nine Nether Tiger beside him, with cold arrogance in his eyes, strode forward, drew the Qingtian Human Emperor Pen, and with a swing of his arm, inscribed the character for "Break" in the void.

Bang!

As soon as the character for "Break" appeared, the entire stone door exploded with a loud crash, completely shattered, and a fierce wave of battle energy roared out from within.

"Master, you’re mighty."

Seeing this scene, Chen Xuanyu was both embarrassed and astonished.

The sharpness of the Qingtian Human Emperor Pen indeed far surpassed that of any sword. Just a single character shattered the stone door’s prohibition, utterly unstoppable.

"Hmph."

The Nine Nether Tiger snorted, said no more, and strode through the stone door.

Chen Xuanyu hurriedly followed him inside.

In fact, this stone door had been opened once before by Ye Chen, greatly weakening the prohibition’s power.

If it had been intact from the beginning, even the sharpness of the Human Emperor Pen might not have been enough to break it.

After all, this prohibition was laid down by Ren Feifan tens of thousands of years ago, and it’s not easy for outsiders to dismantle it.

...

At this moment, inside the Ancient Battlefield.

A hideous human face hung in the sky.

Endless spiritual pressure flowed in every direction, impacting a Buddha Light Barrier on the ground.

The Buddha Light and the spiritual pressure were at a stalemate with each other.

"Such sharp power, a master has arrived!"

In the sky, the hideous human face showed a look of fear, clearly having sensed the aura of a powerful being.

Whoosh!

Without any hesitation, he immediately fled.

The waves of spiritual pressure quickly vanished.

All the currents of battle intent were completely concealed.

The pressure on Ye Chen and the others also disappeared instantly.

"Master, the war soul has retreated."

The You Ying Ghost Weasel said joyfully.

"Someone has arrived."

Ye Chen’s gaze narrowed, looking toward the direction of the entrance, seeing two figures rushing in, one a middle-aged man holding a battle axe, cultivation level at the second-level of the Holy Ancestor Realm, the other an old man with white hair holding a large pen, his strength reaching the mid-stage Holy Ancestor Realm, both exuding a formidable aura.

The ancient war soul clearly had high intelligence, understanding that formidable adversaries had arrived, not easy to deal with, so it hid to wait for an opportunity, intending to gain the benefit of watching the conflict.

The two figures quickly approached, and a surge of demonic energy, with a familiar scent, came rushing forward as well.

"It’s the Nine Nether Tiger!"

Ye Chen’s expression changed drastically, recognizing the familiar demonic energy and realizing that the old man with white hair was actually the human form of the Nine Nether Tiger.

The other person was the reincarnation of the Xuanwu Sky-opening Axe, Chen Xuanyu.

Under the Heavenly Mechanism Insight, all karma was clearly visible; they were here to seize the ancient war soul to heal Xuanyuan Moxie’s injuries!

If the ancient war soul were taken by them, Xuanyuan Moxie’s injuries would heal earlier, with unthinkable consequences!

Ye Chen’s face turned extremely serious.

The strength of the Nine Nether Tiger was terrifying, and now possessing the Qingtian Human Emperor Pen, his power surpassed his previous state, making him even harder to deal with.

"Master..."

The You Ying Ghost Weasel was stunned upon seeing the Nine Nether Tiger.

Meanwhile, Ye Lingtian, holding the Great Sorrowful Purple Gold Spear, stood ready for battle.

If the Nine Nether Tiger attacked Ye Chen, he would use any means necessary to protect Ye Chen!

Even at the cost of his life!

As for Xiao Bai, she was curled up in Ye Chen’s arms, clutching his neck, already asleep, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

"A few ants, kill!"

The Nine Nether Tiger, seeing Ye Chen and others, raised his old eyebrows, eyes round with murderous intent, saying nothing more, he swung the Qingtian Human Emperor Pen, inscribing the character for "Kill," attacking with a formidable strike.

Buzz!

The stroke vibrated, and threads of demonic energy, mixed with the unique Divine Might of the Holy Ancestor Realm, burst forth continuously.

This "Kill" character cut through the air with razor-sharp precision, producing a sharp, piercing sonic boom that sent shivers down one’s spine.

"Be careful!"

Ye Chen’s gaze darkened, drawing the Slaughter Sword, he wielded it fiercely, unleashing the Destruction Divine Dao, pulverizing the Nine Nether Tiger’s character, with waves of rebound force making his hands sting with pain.

A mid-stage Holy Ancestor Realm expert of this level was too formidable; with his current strength, there was almost no chance of winning unless he employed trump cards like the Samsara Graveyard and Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique.

"Hmph, a minor trick dares flaunt itself before me?"

The Nine Nether Tiger sneered dismissively, waving the pen, the large stroke descended like a mountain, bearing down heavily.

At that moment, Ye Chen felt his qi stagnate, unable to breathe, the veins on his sword-wielding hand bulged; just as he intended to fight with all he had, suddenly, the eyelashes of Xiao Bai, whom he held in his arms, fluttered, and she opened her eyes and woke up.

"What’s happening?"

Just awoken, Xiao Bai saw the fierce pen stroke coming for her, yet she looked bewildered, completely unaware of the change in events.

"Yu’er!"

The Nine Nether Tiger, upon seeing Xiao Bai’s clear as water eyes, was struck intensely, with countless memories churning, his mind nearly exploding.

Xiao Bai was the Taiyin Jade Rabbit, the Nine Nether Tiger’s first disciple, and his most cherished student back in the day. At that moment, upon seeing Xiao Bai’s gaze, his spirit was shaken, causing his pen-wielding hand to tremble, and the sharpness of his stroke halted abruptly.

Enveloped in the pen’s sharpness, Xiao Bai suddenly became aware, with an "Oh no," she jumped out of Ye Chen’s embrace, her face full of vigilance.

If the Nine Nether Tiger’s pen stroke landed, she would have been instantly pierced through with no chance of survival.

However, on the Nine Nether Tiger’s old face, there was not a hint of murderous intent anymore, only full of affection and kindness.

He walked forward shakily a few steps, looking at Xiao Bai, and gently said, "Yu’er, all these years, have you been well, have you eaten enough, and kept warm?"

Xiao Bai furrowed her brows, "Old grandpa, who are you? I don’t know you."

Bang!

Upon hearing her words, the Nine Nether Tiger felt as if struck by a thunderbolt, his mind went blank, and he trembled violently.

How tragic is it that his former first disciple did not recognize him?

"Who am I, who are you, and where is this place?"
