Chapter 3996: Chapter 3996: Retribution (First Update)

The gap between the mid-stage Qiankun Realm and the early stage is almost like heaven and earth. Ye Chen can deal with the elders and disciples of Bright Moon Valley, but against Hou Tian, he might not be able to resist, which makes Xiao Bai extremely worried.

At this moment, Ye Chen received a Moonlight Divine Radiance from Hou Tian. Although he successfully blocked it, the blood essence and energy inside him were tumultuous, and even his spiritual energy was a bit chaotic, clearly indicating discomfort.

In comparison, Hou Tian’s aura was stable, and his gaze was as deep as the sea, without any pressure, showing the vast difference in strength.

"After all, the opponent’s power is just too strong."

Ye Chen looked at Hou Tian and couldn’t help but frown.

At this moment, in the collision with Ye Chen, Hou Tian also figured out Ye Chen’s capability and immediately sneered coldly.

"Humph, you boast so arrogantly. I thought you could crush me, but it seems that’s all you amount to."

Hou Tian’s eyes revealed endless coldness as he smirked and said, "I will let you know the price of offending my Bright Moon Valley!"

"Boom!"

An endless spiritual energy suddenly burst forth from Hou Tian’s body, shaking the heavens and earth. A phantom figure coalesced behind him, and in the next moment, this figure pointed, and a Moonlight Spear suddenly shot out from the void in front of Ye Chen.

The spear appeared so suddenly that Ye Chen’s expression changed; he hadn’t expected Hou Tian to have such mysterious means. In haste, he slashed his sword, narrowly cutting the Moonlight Spear.

"Phew..."

Ye Chen cut the spear and breathed a sigh of relief, only to see Hou Tian on the opposite side continuously pointing his fingers. Around Ye Chen, the void kept breaking open, and Moonlight Spears, swift as thunder, suddenly attacked from all directions.

"Damn it!"

Facing the mysterious spells, Ye Chen’s expression also changed drastically. He held his breath and focused, fully dealing with each Moonlight Spear.

Seeing this scene, the elders and disciples of Bright Moon Valley all showed admiration.

"Worthy of the Valley Master, to have comprehended the Bright Moon Hidden Killing Technique left by the ancestors. Truly remarkable."

"Indeed, this Bright Moon Hidden Killing Technique can kill from a thousand miles away; it is a terrifying secret technique where cold radiance explodes to kill according to one’s thoughts."

"Since the Valley Master has even used the Bright Moon Hidden Killing Technique, this kid surely can’t withstand it. He’s doomed!"

At this moment, the Bright Moon Valley was buzzing with discussions, looking at Ye Chen upon the sky with gritted teeth, yet they were also indescribably delighted because such an arrogant Ye Chen was about to fall under their Valley Master’s hands.

Unlike the people of Bright Moon Valley, Xiao Bai was worriedly watching Ye Chen, realizing his unfavorable situation. She wanted to help, but her power was far from enough; she couldn’t move the Qiankun Realm expert.

At this time, Ye Chen was dealing with the Moonlight Spears that were exploding towards him. Although he tried to evade and repel them, the method of attack from the Bright Moon Hidden Killing Technique was too mysterious to effectively guard against. In a short time, Ye Chen suffered multiple injuries.

"This can’t go on."

While handling the mysterious Moonlight Spears, Ye Chen thought gravely that Hou Tian looked relaxed using the Bright Moon Hidden Killing Technique, which evidently didn’t consume much of his energy.

If this standoff with the Bright Moon Hidden Killing Technique continued, Ye Chen would surely fall, so he must find a way to break this Bright Moon Hidden Killing Technique.

By this time, Ye Chen also realized that Hou Tian hadn’t moved an inch when using the Bright Moon Hidden Killing Technique, likely because once the technique was employed, the caster became like a turret, unable to move; otherwise, the technique would dissolve by itself.

Ye Chen vaguely guessed that he could only withstand the Moonlight Spears, forcing Hou Tian to move, breaking free from this Bright Moon Hidden Killing Technique; otherwise, he would be entangled by it until he perished for sure!

At this moment, Moonlight Spears pierced from the void, yet Ye Chen’s eyes exploded with endless cold light as he stared at Hou Tian.

At this moment, around Ye Chen, destructive power and soul power filled the air. Facing the exploding Moonlight Spears from the void, he ignored it, letting the vast destructive power and soul power intertwine, seemingly about to merge together.

"Soul Extermination Heart Slaughter Sword!"

At the instant when these vast powers merged, endless killing intent erupted in Ye Chen’s eyes. At this time, several Moonlight Spears also fiercely pierced towards him, yet Ye Chen did not evade but instead burst forth towards Hou Tian.

"Puff!"

Several spears pierced into Ye Chen, causing him to spurt a mouthful of fresh blood, his aura instantly dismal, but by this time, Ye Chen was holding the Slaughter Sword, bursting towards Hou Tian.

Hou Tian clearly did not expect Ye Chen to be so reckless, choosing to endure the risk of possibly being killed by the Moonlight Spears to unleash a full attack against him, aiming to break the Bright Moon Hidden Killing Technique.

Ye Chen’s guess was correct; using the Bright Moon Hidden Killing Technique required the caster to connect with the Heaven and Earth Rules using spiritual energy. In such a situation, Moonlight Spears could be continuously employed, but it also came with a drawback: the caster couldn’t move; otherwise, the connection with the Heaven and Earth Rules would break, possibly resulting in backlash against the caster.

At this moment, facing Ye Chen’s sword that fused destruction and soul power, Hou Tian truly felt a terrifying threat. This sword had divine might capable of causing his downfall, and he dared not withstand it as Ye Chen did.

"Hmph, so what if you can see through it? You’ve only temporarily saved your life, eventually to merely linger until your death!"

Hou Tian looked at the attacking Ye Chen and coldly sneered, immediately giving up the Bright Moon Hidden Killing Technique. He suffered a backlash, a trace of fresh blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, but he also suddenly flew backward, distancing himself from Ye Chen.

"You think this sword can harm me? Too naive, the Qiankun Realm is something a weakling like you could never comprehend!"

At this moment, Hou Tian looked at Ye Chen, his eyes filled with violent killing intent. He suddenly formed a hand seal, and the Blood Moon in the sky actively floated towards him, hovering behind him, making him appear like the master of the moon.

An overwhelming pressure swept down as Hou Tian now seemed like a supreme being, overseeing Ye Chen condescendingly, his eyes filled with endless indifference.

"Damned kid, I’ll send you on your way!"

At this moment, Hou Tian slammed down his palm, and the Blood Moon behind him conveyed vast power to him. Hou Tian’s palm gathered boundless pressure, as if the Ten Thousand Realms were crashing down, along with sweeping blood light.

Seeing Hou Tian’s palm, Ye Chen’s expression also changed drastically, but there was no turning back—his Soul Extermination Heart Slaughter Sword had already struck out and couldn’t be withdrawn.

In the next moment, Ye Chen held the Slaughter Sword, surging with destruction and soul power, and collided fiercely with Hou Tian’s palm imbued with vast power.

"Boom!"

A world-destroying impact swept out, and Ye Chen was suddenly sent flying backward. Hou Tian’s palm contained terrible divine might; the oppressive weight poured down as if the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds were pressing on Ye Chen, causing him to spit out blood, with cracks appearing in all his bones.
