Splish splash!

In the air appeared a blue sword shadow formed by trickling streams, swiftly stabbing towards the water curtain surrounding Heber.

"Haha! Using the Way of Water to attack my protective water curtain, are you helping me reinforce my defense?"

Heber laughed out loud.

Buzz!

When the blue sword shadow struck that layer of water curtain, the sword shadow suddenly seemed to dissolve, directly merging into the water curtain.

"My sea clan's protective water curtain is the nemesis of all Water Paths. Kid, you can't kill me. I'm leaving first. Keep watch here, I'll be back! Haha..."

Heber laughed aloud, knowing that with so many Divine Infant Realm experts here, he couldn't do anything further and decided to leave first and then look for other opportunities!

"You want to leave?"

Jiang Chen shouted angrily, Saint Dragon Sword in hand suddenly glowing with sparks: "Starfire Sword!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

A sword shadow composed of tiny sparks appeared, swiftly stabbing towards Heber.

"Haha! Such small flames can't do anything to me!"

Heber laughed again, blue light blossoming on his body, making the water curtain even more brilliant.

"Shadow Sword!"

You Xuan's eyes turned cold, channeling all his spiritual power, explosively releasing a vast Great Dao aura, and fiercely swung a sword.

A dim sword shadow and a fiery sword shadow stabbed towards Heber one after the other.

"It's useless; the Destruction Power and Fire Path can indeed break my protective water curtain, but unfortunately, your understanding is too poor!"

Heber spoke arrogantly.

"What about adding this?"

Jiang Chen coldly smiled: "Hurricane Path!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

A sharp hurricane appeared in front of Jiang Chen, swiftly charging toward Heber.

"Dao of Wind? Kid, how many Great Daos have you understood?!"

Heber was startled and then sneered: "Still not enough. Your understanding is too poor!"

"Really?"

Jiang Chen's eyes turned cold, and once more a chilling Great Dao aura surged.

Whoosh!

The hurricane suddenly changed course before the Starfire Sword shadow pierced the water curtain, blowing onto the sword shadow.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Ferocious flames erupted from the sword shadow, and with the wind fueling the fire, the sword shadow immediately turned into a raging inferno!

"What? A pseudo-fusion of three Great Daos? How did you do it?!"

Heber's eyes widened, exclaiming in shock.

Hiss hiss hiss!

The flame sword stabbed into the water curtain, erupting with a massive water vapor.

Shh!

A tearing sound echoed, a dim sword shadow arrived, directly piercing into the water vapor, and tearing a gap in the water curtain.

"Still not enough, I won't play with you any longer. Kid, keep watch over your family; I'll kill them one by one!"

Heber's expression eased, shouted angrily, and with a flash, soared into the sky. His protective water curtain was already on the verge of collapsing, and the dim sword shadow only tore a small hole while the flame giant sword was consuming the water curtain, but didn't completely destroy it!

"Why leave? If it's not enough, let me add a little spice!"

Jiang Chen's body rose with an ancient aura, softly shouted: "Spatial Fold!"

To ensure one effective strike, Jiang Chen once again borrowed the power of the True Dragon Martial Spirit!

Buzz buzz buzz!

The space around Heber suddenly trembled, rapidly folding inward.

Bang!

A burst of air exploded, and Heber's surrounding water curtain suddenly burst open, dispersing into water vapor.

"No! Impossible!"

Heber's expression changed dramatically, a thick Great Dao aura erupted from him, desperately resisting the Spatial Dao Power around!

Puff!

The space ruthlessly folded down, Heber instantly turned into a mist of blood, falling downward.

Whoosh!

Letting out a long breath, Jiang Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead; this battle, it was the most difficult one he had experienced since breaking through to the Saint Realm!

Swish swish swish!

You Xuan and others swiftly jumped to Jiang Chen's side.

"Young Master, I'm sorry!"

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry!"

Everyone bowed to Jiang Chen, apologetically speaking.

Jiang Chen helped them enhance their strength and understand the Great Dao, yet they allowed the enemy to take hostages right under their noses; even during the battle, they couldn't help. The nine Divine Infant Realm experts suddenly felt a deep sense of guilt!

"It's not your fault, it's that bastard who was too cunning! However, Yichen Island's defense does need improvement. This time, fortunately, nothing happened; if something did, it would be too late to regret it!"

Jiang Chen gently waved his hand, earnestly advised.

"Young Master, let me take responsibility for guarding Yichen Island!"

You Xuan volunteered: "From now on, I'll just do this one thing, I can definitely do it well!"

"Alright, Elder You, I'll leave the defense of Yichen Island to you!"

Jiang Chen nodded lightly, sweeping a glance at everyone, fixing his gaze on Second Elder and Fourth Elder: "Are there any other Semi Divine Infant Realm cultivators with insights into the Fire Path and Earth Path?"

"There are a few more." Second Elder nodded lightly.

"Good, then Second Elder and Fourth Elder stay, other seniors, take a break then head to the Spatial Battlefield to switch shifts with the seniors there."

Jiang Chen softly spoke.

"No need to rest, we didn't do anything, we'll go right now!"

"Right, we'll go right now!"

Long Dingtian and others waved their hands, their figures flashed, flying directly out of Yichen Island.

Jiang Chen paused slightly, smiled lightly, shaking his head, suddenly thought of something, and turned to Second Elder: "Why haven't I seen Third Elder?"

Upon arrival, although Jiang Chen didn't look closely, he recognized all the experts' auras, yet he didn't sense Wei Sanlong's aura.

"Third brother, he..."

Second Elder hesitated for a moment, smiled bitterly: "Third brother feels we've all broken through, except him, he's a bit restless, and he feels he's barely grasped the Great Dao cues, doesn't want to compete for the Spirit Stone, ran off alone trying to find a Secret Realm, looking for Wood Path seeds and fruits!"

"This..."

Jiang Chen amusedly shook his head: "Fine, let him go. There must be Wood Path seeds and fruits. Third Elder's cultivation technique aligns well with the Wood Path; maybe he really can find them! You two should go rest!"

"Then we'll head back to the Martial Arts Arena first!"

Second Elder and another responded, moving towards the Martial Arts Arena.

Jiang Chen glanced at their retreating figures, then glanced in the direction where Long Dingtian and others left, his eyes showing a hint of comfort. He was well aware these people felt guilty for not being able to help, and were embarrassed to take a break!

"Elder You, go rest, don't tell me you feel embarrassed too!"

Jiang Chen smiled lightly, then turned serious and sternly said: "Jing Yi and Yu Wan are also here; they won't leave until the Spatial Battlefield situation is resolved. Their safety, along with the safety of the Elixir Medicine Academy, will trouble you, Elder. Even though we killed everyone known from the Void Nether Realm, there might still be others with malicious intentions. Precautions must be taken!"

"Rest assured, Young Master, as long as I'm alive, the Young Mistress and the Medicine Saint will not have any mishaps!"

You Xuan pledged solemnly.
