"Whoosh!"
Suddenly.
A streak of brilliant light shot by swiftly, at a speed completely beyond human imagination. Like a black lightning bolt cutting through the sky, it arrived in front of Li Shanchang almost without warning.
"Not good!"
In that instant.
Li Shanchang felt a chilling sensation sweeping over him, a feeling so intense it made his hair stand on end, and an endless aura of death surrounded him entirely!
Boom!
Without a momentâs hesitation, Li Shanchang raised his hand vertically.
With his Half-Step Human Immortal cultivation, he unleashed his power to the extreme. A flash of light enveloped him, and the Asura Demon Aspect appeared outside his body. Simultaneously, multiple arms of the demon aspect extended, forming a giant barrier in front of him.
At the same time.
He reached out and caught several strands of light that materialized before him, transforming into shields.
In that moment.
Li Shanchang brought out all his hidden cards to resist Ye Qingchenâs attack!
However.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the black shadow broke through everything in its path. In Li Shanchangâs shocked gaze, the Asura Demon Aspect he crafted with all his power was like paper before the shadow, torn apart instantly.
Following that, cracking noises resounded.
The shields cracked apart, and the Jade Marrow, magical items, and protective talismans Li Shanchang wore couldnât withstand this power and shattered instantly.
Crash!
Everyone saw the light shadow viciously crashing into Li Shanchang, erupting with a terrifying sound.
A colossal wave of Qi Force emanated from Li Shanchangâs body, spreading instantly in all directions like a tsunami. Even the distant peaks of Earth Spirit Mountain were crushed into dust!
Even Lin Tonghai, a Human Immortal, had to retreat repeatedly!
"Whatâs happening?"
Despite this.
The crowdâs gaze remained fixated on the battlefield, staring intently forward.
However, upon seeing it, everyoneâs eyes widened, their expressions drastically changing.
"How is it possible?"
Lin Tonghai exclaimed in shock.
They saw.
As the Qi Force subsided and dust settled, a stunning scene emerged between heaven and earth.
A young man in green stood in the air, his foot on a black magic spear. The spear was Li Shanchangâs weapon, which had earlier pierced Ye Qingchen!
Yet now, Li Shanchang was similarly pierced by the spear, pinned to the ground!
Li Shanchang coughed up blood, struggling in vain to break free. His eyes were fixed on Ye Qingchen, filled with terror.
This strike had not only pierced his chest but also shattered the bones throughout his body.
"Mr. Ye!"
"Ye Qingchen!"
Seeing this figure, Lu Yanwu and Kong Jing were initially stunned before shouting out uncontrollably. However, Lu Yanwuâs eyes held even more fear as she quickly shouted, "Mr. Ye, leave quickly! They captured us to force you out!"
"I know!"
Ye Qingchen stood there without any intention of leaving, merely nodding slightly. He glanced at Lu Yanwu, then swept his gaze over Lin Tonghai and others, calmly saying:
"I came out to kill them!"
"Kill us?"
Chang Yuchun showed a trace of ferocity on his face, growling, "Ye Qingchen, youâre facing death, yet you dare speak like this? You escaped once before, now watch how I kill you!"
With a roar, he had already unleashed the Asura Demon Aspect, charging forward in big strides.
His rapid sprint made the ground pound with deafening footsteps, creating pits as stone fragments exploded out like flying locust crossbow stones, shooting rapidly. He moved like a rampaging primal beast, utterly unrestrained.
Such ferociousness made Lu Yanwu and Kong Jing tremble with fear.
"Die!"
In an instant, he reached Ye Qingchen, swinging a giant axe like a windmill. This strike was even fiercer than the previous battle atop Xuanhu Mountain; as the axe approached, the generated wind pressure crushed down overwhelmingly.
"How will he defend?"
At this moment, all eyes were on Ye Qingchen.
Chang Yuchunâs face was fierce; his ax swing contained all his lifeâs power, daring to fight even a Human Immortal for several moves, let alone Ye Qingchen at the Celestial Venerable Realm?
Yet Ye Qingchenâs gaze was indifferent, standing still without dodging, waiting for the axe to approach. He then raised his hand and gently grabbed it, effortlessly halting the attack and silently neutralizing the force.
"Is this real?"
Chang Yuchunâs expression stiffened, disbelief filling his eyes.
Lin Tonghai and others widened their eyes; Ye Qingchenâs power had grown this much in just a few days?
Yet.
The next moment.
Ye Qingchen softly uttered:
"Slash!"
And then.
His right hand reached out into the air, a long sword appearing in his palm as he slashed horizontally. Sword Qi condensed into strands, seemingly cutting space into two.
"Not good!"
Seeing this, Lin Tonghai and others panicked, wanting to intervene but already too late.
As Ye Qingchenâs sword slashed, Chang Yuchun decisively abandoned his giant axe, leaping backwards like a rabbit. But no matter how fast he was, could he outrun Ye Qingchenâs sword?
"Pfft!"
The sound of tearing flesh echoed abruptly.
Chang Yuchun paused abruptly mid-retreat. His large Asura Demon Aspect and body were cut in half by this sword!
"How is it possible?"
Chang Yuchunâs eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
He, the Vice Hall Master of Ten Thousand Gods Sectâs Celestial Kill Hall, had been invincible throughout his life, thinking it would be easy to hunt down Ye Qingchen with Lin Tonghai.
Yet unexpectedly, he died by Ye Qingchenâs hand!
Killed by Ye Qingchenâs single sword strike!
"Chang Yuchun!"
Lin Tonghai cried out mournfully, fury surging in his eyes.
The remaining Half-Step Human Immortals were frozen with fear. When Ye Qingchen skewered Li Shanchangâs chest on Earth Spirit Mountain, they were shocked. But now, with Chang Yuchun casually slain with one sword strike, they were utterly stunned.
What a terrifying power!
Itâs horrifying to the extreme!
