"Boom!"

When the sword light and the sharp claws fiercely clashed together, the entire Xuanhu Mountain could no longer withstand this powerful force and completely disintegrated. The massive crater seemed like it was forcibly torn apart by a pair of invisible giant hands.

Innumerable lava erupted like an ocean, rushing out in all directions without any restraint. The entire Xuanhu Mountain then let out a rumbling sound, collapsing with an ear-splitting crash!

A terrifying shockwave spread from the center of the two individuals.

In this instant, the world was thrown into chaos!

As if the heavens were collapsing and the earth shattering! Sun and moon losing their light!

The group with Lu Yanwu, already pushed back by the shockwaves from the ongoing battle, felt as if they were in the midst of a tsunami that swept the world, and were violently thrown into the air!

At this moment.

They barely had time to get up, immediately looking ahead.

And they saw.

In mid-air, two figures facing each other.

Sword and palm facing each other!

Ye Qingchen had actually resisted Lin Tonghai’s Human Immortal strike!

And not giving an inch!

From a distance, it looked like a beam of silver light and a black ray were grinding and colliding against each other. The collision of the two terrifying forces twisted and shattered the surrounding space, making the onlookers’ vision become distorted and blurred at that moment.

"Do you think you can block me with just this?"

Lin Tonghai’s eyes flashed with a cold light, his expression becoming more ferocious. As he spoke, an immense Demonic Qi rolled like an ocean or abyss, pouring into his right palm, pressing once again.

Ye Qingchen’s expression remained unchanged, but his gaze became more determined. Ignoring everything else, he unleashed his Qi Blood and True Qi, then charged fiercely amidst the crowd’s stunned incredulity!

This was clearly a contest of strength!

The two hung suspended in the void, neither moving, yet the world around them had changed drastically. The collapsing Xuanhu Mountain was also affected, with massive rocks ranging from several to tens or even hundreds of zhang in size, rising up without coordination.

Furthermore, in the constant explosion of powers from both sides, these rocks shattered into smaller rocks or even turned into endless dust!

"He’s blocked it!"

"It’s a stalemate?"

"This kid is only at Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The half-step Human Immortals on the field, after steadying themselves, quickly looked up.

When they saw Ye Qingchen holding his ground against Lin Tonghai’s strike with not a fraction of an inch given, they immediately widened their eyes, almost unable to believe what they were seeing. Previously, even Li Shanchang had a trace of ferocity in his gaze.

"Ye Qingchen, prepare to die!"

Boom!

He clenched his right hand tightly, long spear in his grasp.

In an instant, his momentum surged, his whole body tightened like a drawn bow. His spine rolled like a great dragon, and in his hands, the long spear was like a crossbow arrow ready to be released!

"Watch out!"

Lu Yanwu, who was initially relieved to see Ye Qingchen holding his ground against Lin Tonghai, suddenly saw Li Shanchang taking action. Instantly, her heart sank, and she cried out urgently.

"What?" Ye Qingchen was momentarily stunned, before hearing a terrifying whistling directly erupt from behind him.

At this moment, an unprecedented sense of mortal peril swept over him. Without any hesitation, Ye Qingchen directly mobilized all his True Qi and Qi Blood, and in that moment, his body spun sharply.

"Puff!"

He saw a lightning-fast long spear had already pierced through Ye Qingchen’s shoulder.

"Puff!"

The force exerted on the spear, along with the terrible Demonic Qi, caused Ye Qingchen to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood on the spot. His whole body, like a kite with a broken string, went crashing down fiercely.

In the blink of an eye, the previously stalemated battle situation suddenly changed, which no one could foresee.

"Have you no shame!"

Kong Jing couldn’t help but curse aloud.

These people, disregarding their status, were already shameless to the extreme by using overwhelming odds to gang up on someone. And now, ambushing Ye Qingchen during his fight with Lin Tonghai, was the height of shamelessness.

But Li Shanchang couldn’t care less. They came today to eliminate Ye Qingchen; once they had made up their mind, how could they be easily swayed?

"Kill!"

At this moment, with a shout, the remaining half-step Human Immortals erupted with power, charging like arrows loosed from a bowstring, advancing from all directions.

"Those who block me, die!"

Ignoring the blood at the corner of his mouth, Ye Qingchen, after falling, quickly locked his gaze onto a surrounding elder. Then he stomped his foot fiercely, True Qi surged, and his Qi Blood roared. He once again unleashed the Ten Directions Heaven-Breaking Array!

Amidst the crowd’s horrified gazes, he transformed into a heaven-shocking sword rainbow, charging towards the target!

"No!"

Nobody expected.

Despite being severely injured by Li Shanchang’s ambush, Ye Qingchen had no intention of surrendering and instead sought to break through.

"Stop him!"

Lin Tonghai realized something was wrong and cried out urgently.

The Celestial Kill Hall elder, who was targeted, let out a deep roar, and amidst the churning Demonic Qi around him, the Asura Demon Aspect behind him suddenly expanded. Simultaneously, two giant hands extended from the rolling Demonic Qi black clouds, trying to block the brilliant sword light.

Meanwhile, Li Shanchang and the others pressed forward with all they had, attempting to close in and kill Ye Qingchen in a pincer attack!

"Slay!"

Nevertheless.

Ye Qingchen, paying no mind to what lay behind, erupted with a grand aura in that instant. Before everyone’s astonished eyes, this brilliant sword light directly pierced through the Celestial Kill Hall elder’s body along with the external Asura Demon Aspect!

The void trembled violently.

With a clap of thunder, the closing hands of the Asura Demon Aspect halted in midair, unraveling inch by inch, disintegrating into countless black lights. Then the massive body collapsed, creating an extraordinarily beautiful and indescribable scene amidst the churning lava and flames.

The elder’s body shuddered violently, his eyes grew empty, and his trembling hands couldn’t stop the blood gushing from his throat. Under the shocked gazes of observers, he plummeted from the sky to the ground.

Before hitting the ground, he was already utterly lifeless.

After killing his opponent with one sword, Ye Qingchen did not pause for a moment, rising with the wind, transforming into a streak of light darting swiftly towards the distance.

And in the void, his wild laughter still lingered:

"Haha, if you want to kill me, come and get me!"

From the ambush that severely injured Ye Qingchen to him killing one person and breaking through the encirclement, all of this happened in the blink of an eye, but the events that transpired were beyond everyone’s expectations.

Especially Lin Tonghai, whose expression grew extremely grim.

Despite personally taking action and bringing nine half-step Human Immortals to jointly encircle and kill Ye Qingchen, he not only watched helplessly as three of his half-step Human Immortals were slain, but also allowed the target to escape from under his nose.

How could Lin Tonghai endure this?

Almost instantly, Lin Tonghai’s expression turned extremely dark. Throwing caution to the wind, he swiftly pursued in the direction where Ye Qingchen had vanished!

"Don’t let him escape!"

"Even if we must scour Jade Fall above and Yellow Springs below, find and kill him!"
