In the field, after Ye Chen's powerful display, Li Tianyi, who was pressed to the ground, sprang up, with his entire body burning in a blaze of blood. He chose to burn all his strength, not to continue battling Ye Chen, but to flee for his life!
No way to fight!
Four days ago, Ye Chen was still being chased by him, but now he has become an insurmountable mountain for Li Tianyi.
In Ye Chen's power, he felt his own insignificance and humility!
This is the feeling of an ant!
Even though he didn't want to admit it, he had to accept the fact that if he didn't escape, there was only one path to death.
In an instant.
Li Tianyi had already escaped hundreds of meters away.
Ye Chen looked at the direction in which Li Tianyi escaped, his eyes bursting with a cold light, and then, the Heaven-Ascending Step was deployed, Vertical Earth Golden Light, flashed in an instant, Ye Chen was already standing in front of Li Tianyi.
Li Tianyi's body trembled all over, his legs became weak, and his body almost lost balance, nearly falling from the sky.
"Ye... Ye Chen, I was wrong before, give me a chance, I can assure you, the Sect Alliance will definitely not bother you anymore in the future!
My father is Li Jushan, Sect Leader of Haoyang Sect, Alliance Leader of the Sect Alliance, one of the few Legendary Powerhouses in Heaven-Reaching Realm of the Great Zhou Dynasty..."
Ye Chen looked indifferent, and said, "I kill Zhou Chengqian and Zhou Chengyun without hesitation, if I want to kill someone from the Thousand Spirits Sect, I kill them too, a mere Li Jushan, even if he were here, I would still kill you!"
"Ye Chen, I'll fight you to the end!"
Li Tianyi roared in anger, his instinct for survival made him explode with a sword surpassing his peak state.
Ye Chen snorted coldly, and thrust his sword forward.
"Slash!"
Striking after him, but arriving first!
Ye Chen's sword suddenly pierced Li Tianyi's forehead, while Li Tianyi's sword, which was initially drawn, was only just about to slash down.
The power Li Tianyi had unleashed suddenly collapsed, and his vitality quickly faded.
Ye Chen looked at Li Tianyi and said faintly, "In your current state, you do not qualify to fight me to the death."
As the words fell.
Ye Chen withdrew his sword.
Li Tianyi's body fell downward, with a thud, crashing onto a pile of rubble.
Ye Chen turned to look in another direction, and said, "Now it's your turn."
Shen Jie, transformed into a black violent ape, was now covered in blood, looking extremely miserable; his arms continuously pounded his chest; he knew escape was unrealistic since Ye Chen's speed was too fast.
In such a case.
He might as well face him head-on!
"Roar!"
Shen Jie let out an earth-shattering roar, his aura became even more violent, his eyes began to show a complete and beast-like ferocity!
Young Master Void shouted as he watched, "Ye Chen, be careful, this is the Frenzy Secret Technique of the Thousand Spirits Sect. After using this technique, he will lose his humanity and can never return to human form, permanently reduced to a beast-like state. The cost of this technique is huge, hence the strength gained is also extremely terrifying!"
Shen Jie's humanity quickly faded away.
Before the last bit of humanity dissipated, he finally shouted the last sentence.
"Ye Chen, I swear I will tear you to pieces!"
"Roar!"
With another furious roar, Shen Jie was completely consumed by the Frenzy Secret Technique of the Thousand Spirits Sect, his aura becoming extremely terrifying.
"My friend said before, let me take them down one by one." Ye Chen's expression remained calm, but as he spoke, he unleashed the combined power of those four spirit martial forces without reservation!
At the same time, the Stacking Waves Force was activated, layered nine times, reaching the extreme of the Stacking Waves Force!
The recent upgrades he achieved were comprehensive!
Consolidating the sword seed, reaching the small completion of the sword body, breaking through to the Tier Five Spirit Master, perfecting the spirit martial unity, completing the Stacking Waves Force, blending the Invincible Sword and Slaughter Sword forces...
This was a comprehensive transformation and sublimation!
The black violent ape leaped up again, its arms embracing, and then a huge mountain phantom appeared. The black violent ape fiercely smashed the huge mountain it held towards Ye Chen.
Just as that huge mountain phantom was about to hit Ye Chen.
The Celestial Mark Sword in Ye Chen's hand finally slashed out.
The five elements cycle, yin and yang manifest, sun and moon rise and fall!
Sun and moon light illuminated the space between heaven and earth. When the suspended sun and moon at Ye Chen's sword edge touched the mountain phantom, the mountain phantom exploded.
The black violent ape also turned to ashes in this terrifying storm!
Everyone watching felt it was too unreal.
Li Tianyi from the Sect Alliance was not only counted among the top fighting power under thirty years old in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but even adding the Great Qin Dynasty, the Great Ming Dynasty, and the Great Shang Dynasty, he still ranked at the top.
Shen Jie from the Thousand Spirits Sect was even stronger, being upper-middle in rank under thirty years old in the entire Cangzhou.
But facing Ye Chen, they had no power to resist whatsoever.
Ye Chen stabbed one to death with a single sword, and cleaved another with a single sword.
And Ye Chen... was not yet nineteen!
Ye Chen's figure flickered and returned to stand in front of Fatty and the others. Facing the crowd, he wore an expression of guilt and said, "I'm sorry, I've brought trouble upon all of you."
Fatty laughed boldly and said, "What are you saying? This was our choice."
Luo Tian looked at Ye Chen and said, "Once I recover, I want to challenge you again."
Their connection began at the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy's freshman trial.
Ye Chen still remembered clearly how Luo Tian, carrying a heavy sword on his back, had come over to challenge him.
Later, Luo Tian lost, but he had vowed to fight again next time!
Ye Chen nodded seriously and said, "Alright, but you will lose."
This was the same answer Ye Chen had given back then.
Luo Tian responded with a sound of acknowledgment, "Even if I lose, I want to fight!"
Ye Chen looked at Han Qianshan.
Han Qianshan nodded, then began channeling his energy to heal.
"Brother-in-law, when we get back, you have to tell my sister that I didn't disgrace the Hua Family this time!" Hua Ao Bone grinned through the pain.
This once dashing Young Master Hua had indeed become a different person during his short stay at Lingyun Mountain.
Finally.
Ye Chen's gaze fell on Zhou Yanran.
Zhou Yanran was the daughter of the late Eldest Prince.
Zhou Chengyun and Zhou Chengqian were Zhou Yanran's royal uncles.
But Zhou Yanran chose to stand by him until the very end.
Being watched by Ye Chen, Zhou Yanran's expression turned a bit unnatural, and her cheeks, pale from injuries, suddenly flushed with color.
No matter her status, she was ultimately still a young woman.
No woman could resist the invincible charisma Ye Chen had just displayed!
Ye Chen looked at Zhou Yanran and said, "Take care to heal well, scars won't look good on you."
Zhou Yanran felt a surge of indescribable excitement in her heart.
Ye Chen was finally speaking to her!
All eyes turned swiftly toward Zhou Yanran.
Zhou Yanran's chest had been blasted open... Although recovery would not be difficult, yet Ye Chen... actually said it so directly...
Fatty murmured, "Brother Ye, why don't you help the Commandery Princess heal?"
Zhou Yanran finally snapped back to herself, suddenly feeling flustered and at a loss.
Ye Chen glared at Fatty.
Fatty spat out a mouthful of blood with an exaggerated "wah," knowing he had to keep up the act... otherwise, he'd get beaten!
Ye Chen suddenly broke into a smile.
The people he cared about, although injured, were all still alive!
Nearby, Young Master Void approached Ye Chen and whispered, "Ye Chen, a storm is about to break out, why don't you consider coming with me? At our Hundred Flowers Palace, beauties are as plentiful as clouds, and if you join, the Thousand Spirits Sect wouldn't dare trouble you."
If Ye Chen could be brought to the Hundred Flowers Palace, it would definitely be a great boon for them.
Ye Chen shook his head, "Do me one more favor."
Young Master Void, eager for Ye Chen to ask him for help, immediately replied, "Speak, as long as it's not asking me to die, I'll help!"
"My friends have lost the ability to fight now. Help guard them and ensure their safety for me!" Ye Chen said.
Young Master Void frowned.
Ye Chen himself could ensure their safety, and do so even better, there was no need to owe a favor for this.
Unless... Ye Chen intended to leave this place!
What else did he plan to do?
Could it be, he knew of a great opportunity within Lingyun Mountain?
Still, Young Master Void didn't think further and said, "Alright, I will do my utmost!"
Opportunities, if any, would belong to Ye Chen. He couldn't compete... Besides, a short-term gain from seizing opportunity paled in comparison to the crucial potential of staying on Ye Chen's good side.
"Brother Ye, what do you plan to do?"
Fatty called out. Others might think Ye Chen intended to continue seeking opportunities, but Fatty, who knew Ye Chen best, suspected he was going to kill someone!
Ye Chen looked at Fatty and said, "To kill a traitor."
Earlier, when killing Shen Jie, Ye Chen had sensed a faint intent to kill.
That intent was all too familiar!
It belonged to no other than Meng Changtian, the former deputy director of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy's Star Spirit System.
If Meng Changtian was hiding in Lingyun Mountain, then he would be dragged out!
