Unrivaled County.

The massive city gate stood towering in front of Ye Chen.

He had never been here before, and once longed to see all that this place had to offer.

But ever since the Ye Family was annihilated, his life had been consumed mostly by revenge.

After entering Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, most of his time was spent in training, never thinking to visit the nearby Unrivaled County.

Today.

He finally came!

He arrived with a heart full of rage and murderous intent!

The soldiers guarding the city, seeing Ye Chen exuding a chilling aura of killing intent, immediately stepped forward, intending to interrogate him strictly.

"Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, Star Martial System, Ye Chen!"

But as soon as Ye Chen spoke these few words and presented his identity token, the city guards immediately let him pass.

Cangxing Martial Arts Academy is linked with the imperial system, and the inner courtyard disciples of Cangxing also hold significant status.

Just as Ye Chen was about to enter the city, a cold shout suddenly rang out.

"Halt!"

A young man was seen leaping down from the city wall.

"Why do you stop me?!" Ye Chen said, his tone icy.

The young man sneered, saying, "The Unrivaled County Defense Army is responsible for strict interrogation of everyone entering the county city!"

"Cangxing Martial Arts Academy disciples are exempt from any interrogation!" Ye Chen said, understanding this rule.

"Just because you claim to be Ye Chen of the Star Martial System from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, doesn't mean you are! Besides, you just brought out a token, who knows if you stole it?" the young man said.

Ye Chen's expression became even colder.

"I have urgent matters, step aside, and I won't hold it against you, but if you further delay me, don't blame me for being discourteous!"

The young man raised his voice, scoffing, "Such audacity, to speak to me like that, men, seize him, take him to Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, and verify his identity!"

In an instant, two soldiers drew their swords and slashed toward Ye Chen.

"Swish, swish!"

Two sharp blades of light instantly fell in front of Ye Chen.

"Boom!"

A powerful force surged out from Ye Chen's body, sweeping away the two attackers.

"Dare to harm our Defense Army, you must have a death wish, kneel before me!"

A booming shout rang out.

A commander leaped up, striking with both fists from mid-air.

The fist shadows were fierce, causing the air to explode!

Ye Chen was no longer polite.

The sharp sword was unsheathed.

The sword light poured out from the sheath like a flood.

Sword Qi was grim.

"Ah!"

A miserable cry rang out.

The commander's fists were severed, and his body plummeted to the ground.

Ye Chen's right leg whipped fiercely against the commander's chest.

"Boom!"

The armor shattered.

The commander, body like a cannonball, shot backward, embedding him into the city wall, his life or death unknown.

The young man who obstructed Ye Chen from entering Unrivaled County raised his eyebrows, then took a step, his toes touching the ground, his body moving like the wind, floating toward Ye Chen.

"Die!"

The young man coldly shouted, a slender sword shot out from his sleeve, piercing straight at Ye Chen's brow.

Ye Chen slashed down with his sword.

The air itself was cleaved by the force, creating a strong blast.

The slender sword aimed at Ye Chen was slashed in half by Ye Chen's sword.

The attacking young man quickly dodged.

Ye Chen's sword continued downward along his right shoulder!

"Ah!"

A scream like a pig being slaughtered echoed.

The young man fell, half his body gone, blood spraying.

"Bang!"

Ye Chen stepped forward, his foot stomping on the young man's neck.

"Crack!"

The neck bone shattered.

The man is dead!

Ye Chen pointed his sword at the soldiers ahead, shouting fiercely, "Anyone who blocks my path today must die!"

Now, every moment of delay.

Brother Yuan Polu and Sister Liu Meng'Er might be getting closer to the Ghost Gate.

Even if these Defense Army men are backed by the Commandery Governor's Mansion, Ye Chen does not care.

He wants to save people!

Enemies of the world, so be it!

In Qingyun City, he lacked the power to save his clansmen.

Now, he can fight, and he will fight to the end.

Fight until no strength is left...then fight with his life!

At this moment, the vision of Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea swept across a hundred meters.

The killing sword aura increased again!

These city guards, having rarely experienced life-and-death battles, shivered under Ye Chen's murderous aura, filled with fear!

"Daring to cause such chaos at the city gate, even if I take your life, no one can say anything!"

A middle-aged man standing on the city wall coldly shouted.

From the beginning, he had been watching coldly from the city wall.

Now this scene was in his favor.

He has ample reason to kill Ye Chen, without worrying about anyone coming to hold him accountable later.

Everything was within his calculations.

As he finished speaking, four spirit seals projected from the center of his forehead, quickly flying out, then merging as one.

A long spear made of flames, over ten meters in length, as thick as a thigh, shot explosively towards Ye Chen.

The terrifying heat wave incinerated the illusion of a Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea created by Ye Chen's murderous sword momentum into nothingness.

The Flaming Long Spear, carrying the power to pierce the earth, shot explosively before Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's hand gripping the sword turned pale, and he let out a clear whistle before fiercely swinging the sword.

The sword rises.

But no one saw marks of the sword falling.

Because, as Ye Chen raised his sword, he had already stepped forward.

Heaven-Ascending Step!

He had vanished from everyone's sight.

"Boom!"

The enormous Flaming Long Spear landed on the ground, exploding it into a gigantic deep pit.

"Over here!"

The Tier Four Spirit Master, a middle-aged man on the city wall, flashed a cold light in his eyes, discovering Ye Chen, who had appeared in mid-air. He formed a seal with both hands, causing his spirit imprint projection to unleash a series of storms.

The storm raged wildly.

Twisting the light into distorting waves.

But Ye Chen's foot stepped forward once more in mid-air, his figure flashing through the storm-covered area, already nearing the city wall.

The raised sword finally slashed down.

Thunder roared, lightning arcs flickered.

Thunderbolt Sword, with the force of thunder!

The Tier Four Spirit Master, despite being shocked by Ye Chen's speed, still paid him no heed.

Under his control, his spirit imprint trembled lightly, bursting forth with light.

Also, almost at this instant.

Ye Chen's spiritual power, turning into countless invisible swords, surged fiercely from his sea of consciousness!

Spirit wave attack!

Now.

Ye Chen had already delineated seven groups of Tier Two Blade Spirit Patterns.

Seven groups of spirit patterns, this was already the beginner level for Celestial Seal Spirit Masters.

Even without condensing a spirit imprint, his spiritual strength was almost equivalent to that of a tier three Earth Seal Spirit Master.

The opponent was a tier four Spirit Master.

But in a completely unguarded state, his sea of consciousness was pierced straight by Ye Chen's spirit wave attack, leading to intense tremors and forming cracks.

"Ah!"

The trembling sea of consciousness made the Tier Four Spirit Master let out a miserable scream.

The spirit imprint projection ready to launch an attack also swayed.

Ye Chen's sword, ferociously struck out!

At this moment, beside the Tier Four Spirit Master, two persons each slashed a blade, shattering Ye Chen's thunder sword qi.

These two were both Primordial Wheel Realm martial artists!

A massive explosion sounded.

Ye Chen's body flew backward.

The two martial artists who slashed, one flew out to attack Ye Chen, while the other stayed to guard by the Tier Four Spirit Master.

Ye Chen stabilized himself with a series of toe taps in mid-air and once again performed Heaven-Ascending Step, rushing to the side of the uncontrolled spirit imprint projection.

A horizontal sword sweep.

"Boom!"

The spirit imprint projection exploded.

The Tier Four Spirit Master standing on the city wall spat out a large mouthful of blood, collapsed, and convulsed.

Seeing this, the Primordial Wheel Realm martial artist who had slashed at Ye Chen also dared not continue attacking Ye Chen, retreating back to the city wall, shouting: "Crossbow formation!"

On top of the city wall, massive crossbow engines were lifted up in succession.

Each crossbow engine was armed with a crossbow arrow as thick as an arm.

The arrowhead of the crossbow arrow flickered with strands of spirit pattern light.

This was enhanced by a Spirit Master and infused with elemental force by martial artists, making its power exceedingly terrifying.

Ye Chen stood in mid-air, in front of countless crossbow arrows, his face showing no trace of fear.

At this moment.

A crisp sound of silver bells chimed.

A colorful ribbon with a bell at its end descended from the sky.

Ouyang Xiaoling stepped lightly onto the ribbon, like a rainbow, gracefully arriving to stand beside Ye Chen.

"Fighting like this is too much of a waste of time, leave it to me." Ouyang Xiaoling said softly, then looked towards the city wall, taking out a token with one hand, coldly shouting: "The Star Token is here, whoever dares to hinder the Martial Academy disciple's work, dies!"

The sound of her voice fell.

The token in Ouyang Xiaoling's hand erupted with brilliant star-like light, illuminating the world.

The Star Token appeared.

Signifying the dean of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy was present personally.

At this moment.

The crossbow engines on the city wall were all lowered.

The soldiers all bowed their heads, not daring to make a sound.

The Tier Four Spirit Master whose spirit imprint had been shattered by Ye Chen was helped up to stand, gritting out: "Ouyang Xiaoling, with the Star Token before us, we dare not trespass, but Ye Chen has killed my defensive soldiers and also destroyed my spirit imprint projection, the Martial Academy must give an account of this!"

"Xu Qi, you also know he is Ye Chen from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy?!" Ouyang Xiaoling coldly shouted: "Despite once being one of our academy, knowing he is Ye Chen, you still dared to have people block and trouble him. Whether it was your own decision or under instruction, this will be thoroughly investigated!"

The Tier Four Spirit Master called Xu Qi turned pale.

He had slipped up!

The reason they initially blocked Ye Chen was claiming they couldn't identify his identity… Now he had himself uttered Ye Chen's name, which meant they deliberately blocked him to make things difficult.

"Swish swish swish!"

Outside the city gate of Unrivaled County, suddenly there was sound of piercing through the air.

A large number of people dressed in Martial Arts Academy attire came stepping through the air.

"If you don't let the Martial Academy through to handle things, then don't blame us for breaking through the city gate!" The leading man shouted.

Ye Chen looked at these people.

The Star Martial System and Star Alchemy System made up the majority, the Star Spirit System… only had one person, it was the woman Lan Ying who had been defeated by Ye Chen in front of the spirit tower, declaring she would definitely win in the future.

The pressure from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy made Xu Qi, the Tier Four Spirit Master guarding the city gate, dare not utter another word and immediately opened the passage.

"Let's go, resolve these matters later, let's first find Celestial Sword Sect and settle the score!" Ouyang Xiaoling looked at Ye Chen, speaking.

The group of people instantly flew directly over the wall, entering Unparalleled County!
