Faced with a fourth-tier Extreme Spirit Master, Ye Chen opted for the swiftest attack method.

However, the third leader of Black Wind Village was quick to react, his hands forming seals and pressing down fiercely.

"Buzz!"

From the projection of the Extreme Spirit Seal, a burst of earth-yellow light exploded forth.

The light weighed like a million pounds, seemingly like a mountain crashing down, shattering the sword light Ye Chen had struck and colliding with Ye Chen's Celestial Mark Sword.

At that moment.

The immense force sent Ye Chen's figure uncontrollably flying backward, rendering the Heaven-Ascending Step un-executable.

"Boom!"

Ye Chen's body slammed into the canyon wall, causing it to collapse.

Black Wind Village's third leader formed seals again with his hands, and in his spirit seal projection, rings of light spread like ripples in water.

The whole world.

Instantly became incredibly heavy!

Ye Chen rushed out from the collapsed rock face, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, intending to continue his attack, but found himself under immense pressure.

This was the gravity characteristic of the third leader of Black Wind Village!

The only characteristic!

Every part of Ye Chen's body was squeezed by this tremendous gravity, bones creaking. If it weren't for his sword body already tempered through his skin, with muscles also partially tempered, his body might have exploded into a blood mist!

Yet, the others in Black Wind Village remained unaffected.

Black Wind Village's third leader had powerful control over his spirit seal's attribute.

"Kill him!"

Black Wind Village's third leader commanded.

The bandits were evidently accustomed to such scenes, faces filled with excitement as they crazily charged at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen prepared to unleash the Invincible Sword stance again!

However, even the Invincible Sword stance was suppressed!

At the critical moment.

Ye Chen immediately activated nine groups of blade spirit patterns from his sea of consciousness, spreading out his spiritual power.

A strong blade aura ripped through the special gravity effect within three feet around him.

"Go to hell!"

A bandit of the Elemental Wheel Realm had already rushed to Ye Chen, launching a palm strike.

Ye Chen snorted coldly, the Heaven-Burning Sword unfolded, a blaze of fire enveloping the three feet around him. His sword directly pierced the palm that was about to strike him.

"Ah!"

A shrill scream sounded.

"Whoosh!"

A sword light appeared on Ye Chen's left side.

"Boom!"

A fist mark appeared on Ye Chen's right side and behind.

Suddenly, from all directions, bandits converged on Ye Chen, launching ferocious attacks!

Although Ye Chen could use spiritual power to neutralize the special gravity, rapid movement was unrealistic, and Heaven-Ascending Step remained unusable.

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, and the sword energy within him instantly completed three surging washes.

Wave energy surged!

The speed of his sword strikes skyrocketed once more.

In an instant, his three-foot radius transformed entirely into a world of swords.

The Invincible Sword stance filled this three-foot radius completely!

No attack could break this world of his.

Within the three-foot blade!

Everyone stands as an enemy!

"Ahhhh!"

Agonized cries rang out one after another.

One bandit after another fell under Ye Chen's sword techniques.

Though Ye Chen couldn't move quickly, he could still manage ordinary movement.

Wherever he went.

His three-foot world existed there.

In less than half an incense stick's time, a group of bandits became scattered remains strewn about the ground.

Only a few bandits remained, hesitant to attack, quickly retreating behind Black Wind Village's third leader.

Black Wind Village's third leader furrowed his brow.

Walking the path of an Extreme Spirit Master, his spirit pattern characteristic was gravity; although it could attack and defend, he wasn't skilled in offensive actions, focusing more on support combat.

Yet, Ye Chen's methods were equally extraordinary!

"You haven't condensed a spirit seal yet, but your spiritual power carries a remarkably sharp edge, allowing you to secure a small area free from my gravity suppression. It seems you're also on the path of Extreme Spirit Master. If I'm not mistaken, your journey has reached the stage of Celestial Spirit Seal, having condensed at least seven groups of blade spirit patterns!"

Black Wind Village's third leader deduced some of Ye Chen's circumstances.

He intended to forcibly invade Ye Chen's sea of consciousness with spiritual power, yet his previous attempt found Ye Chen's sea of consciousness guarded by an extremely strong force.

Considering Ye Chen hailed from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy's spirit and martial arts department, this was normal. After all, the leader of the spirit and martial arts department was the Legendary Powerhouse, Yang Tianji. It was reasonable for Yang Tianji to have arranged some defense tactics within Ye Chen's sea of consciousness.

"Ye Chen, under these circumstances, I really can't kill you, but neither can you kill me. Continuing this fight is pointless. How about we cease here!

You came here purely for the Martial Arts Academy's task, didn't you? By all rights, you can already return to submit the task, and it's not necessary to keep fighting to the death with me.

Of course, if you insist on continuing, your spiritual power will deplete faster than mine, and at that point, you will still be at a disadvantage.

I trust you're a smart person and know what choice to make!"

Black Wind Village's third leader chose to propose a truce.

"Ye Chen… save me… take me away. My father is an elder of Feiyang Martial Arts Academy. If you save me, I can agree to any condition of yours."

At this moment, Qin Jing shouted loudly.

Earlier, she had wanted to kill Ye Chen, but now, Ye Chen was her only savior to escape the clutches.

Black Wind Village's third leader glanced at Qin Jing, then turned to Ye Chen, saying, "This ugly girl wanted to kill you earlier. I know your character, where vengeance is inevitable. Here's the deal: my brothers haven't defiled her yet; I'll leave her for you to enjoy. Once you're satisfied, you can return her to me, and I'll use her to make a trade with the Qin Family.

Moreover, we have a method in Black Wind Village to erase her memory, so when she's back in the Qin Family, she won't remember anything you did to her.

On our side, you can rest assured; we guarantee that it won't leak out anything about your matter. We bandits, although ruthless, keep to our word."

"Ye Chen, don't listen to him. Our Qin Family has considerable influence. If you save me, our Qin Family..."

"Shut up!" Black Wind Village's third leader roared in anger, waving his hand, and a powerful gravity directly sealed Qin Jing's mouth.

"Ye Chen, it's time to make a choice." Black Wind Village's third leader looked at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen sneered, "I only make my own choices. The choices others offer me, I dislike."

Black Wind Village's third leader growled coldly, "Ye Chen, don't be ungrateful!"

Ye Chen lifted the Celestial Mark Sword.

On the surface of the sword, Five Elements Sword Intent flowed, Earth Sword Intent manifested, and earth-yellow light exploded with a powerful heavy feeling.

Black Wind Village's third leader's gravity spirit pattern was, in essence, a variation of earth-attribute power.

Ye Chen had long figured out how to deal with it.

In the previous battle, he used this unique gravity to comprehend the earth sword intent in the Five Elements Extreme Sword Technique's ultimate move.

Now, it was about time!

Seeing the Earth Sword Intent from Ye Chen's sword growing increasingly dense.

Black Wind Village's third leader gritted his teeth, saying, "Since we must fight, then I shall accompany you to the end!"

As he spoke.

The projection of his spirit seal pulsed like a beating heart, suddenly contracting. The special gravity engulfing the canyon also compressed into a mass, intending to crush Ye Chen to pieces!

Ye Chen's eyes flashed with cold light, his left hand tightly gripping the Celestial Mark Sword's hilt.

"Earth Extreme Dragon Slash!"

Ye Chen swung his sword with both hands.

Where the earth-yellow aura on the Celestial Mark Sword's blade spread, it instantly transformed into a massive earth-stone dragon. The earth-stone dragon roared, tearing through the surrounding gravity pressure, charging fiercely towards Black Wind Village's third leader.

This strike bore some resemblance to Luo Tian's Earth Dragon Slash.

But its power was several times stronger than Luo Tian's Earth Dragon Slash!
