Ye Qingchen stood in the void, his gaze icy cold.

Ten Thousand Gods Sect, simply an unforgivable sin!

Back when he was still on the Barbaric Continent, they were already entangled with him. Even when he was at Celestial Secret Mountain, taking advantage of his participation in the grand selection, they ambushed him! But now, the Ten Thousand Gods Sect actually dared to use Lu Yanwu and Kong Jing to threaten him!

Even though Ye Qingchen had killed countless in his life, he never implicated the innocent. The actions of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect had completely crossed his bottom line.

The dragon’s reverse scale, to touch it is to die!

"He who kills will be killed! From the moment you attacked me, you should have known this would be the result! He won’t be the first, nor will he be the last!"

Ye Qingchen slowly sheathed his sword, his eyes indifferent, like an azure dragon overlooking the ants on the ground.

A pair of such indifferent eyes.

Everyone present felt as if a bucket of ice water was poured over them, all their anger vanishing instantly, leaving only deep shivers. The presence before them seemed not like a soft target at their mercy, but a primordial beast hibernating, ready to leap up and devour at any moment.

Stepping back, step by step!

Even Lin Tonghai couldn’t help but change his expression and abruptly retreated several steps.

However, when he realized, his complexion became exceptionally unsightly. A dignified Human Immortal, he was actually frightened back by a Celestial Venerable youth! Finally, as if trying to regain his footing, Lin Tonghai said harshly:

"Ye Qingchen, it seems you’ve had a fortuitous encounter within Earth Spirit Mountain, raising you to the Celestial Venerable Eighth Layer! But so what? Do you really think you can defeat me, a Human Immortal?"

"To know whether I can or not, just a single try is all it takes!"

With that, Ye Qingchen took a step forward, directly traversing the void, as if shrinking the ground to an inch, arriving right in front of Lin Tonghai. Raising his right hand, the Gui Xu Sword along with nine long swords had already condensed into a dazzling blade of Sword Light, slashing forth.

"Clang!!"

This time, Lin Tonghai was prepared, as he too raised his hand to grab, a long sword appearing in his palm, bringing forth a monstrous demonic fog, condensing into a black rainbow, directly slashing out to meet Ye Qingchen’s sword head-on!

In an instant.

The two collided and instantly parted, both violently retreating backward.

"How could this be? Even with a fortuitous encounter, he’s only at Celestial Venerable Eighth Layer, how did his strength grow so terrifyingly?"

Lin Tonghai was full of shock inside.

He could clearly feel that the power in Ye Qingchen’s sword earlier was by no means inferior to his own.

However.

Lin Tonghai had no time to ponder further, for Ye Qingchen had already charged forward to attack.

"Asura Demon Aspect!"

Lin Tonghai shouted in a deep voice. His body shook as a massive demon aspect surged from him, with Circulation Demonic Qi roiling around him. In an instant, the once clear sky seemed to be overshadowed by a giant black curtain, almost lightless.

Simultaneously, his right hand formed a vital seal, causing the Circulation Demonic Qi to transform into black dragons, with thousands upon thousands of them charging toward Ye Qingchen like arrows shot from strings!

Such a terrifying visage, it seemed to obscure the sky and the sun to the extreme.

"Can he kill him?"

Everyone watched with wide eyes, wanting to see if Lin Tonghai could subdue Ye Qingchen.

"A minor technique!"

Ye Qingchen laughed loudly, unfearing despite the overwhelming black dragons, charging forward with his sword.

Schh!

A swift Sword Light, as bright as the midday sun, shot into the sky. Those attacking black dragons vanished without a trace in an instant, like snow under a blazing sun.

The void was split apart by this sword; black dragons and the pervasive demonic qi alike, as if a giant black cloth had been torn open!

And the momentum of the sword remained undiminished, blasting toward Lin Tonghai.

Wherever the Gui Xu Sword reached, nothing could withstand!

"Damn it!"

Lin Tonghai cursed inwardly, hurriedly drawing back his sword to parry.

"Clang!"

A terrifying clang of metal on metal resounded, with sparks flying in the void, Lin Tonghai’s body trembled violently, retreating backward. His toes skidded across the ground, gouging out two trenches!

Ultimately, the Asura Demon Aspect stamped down, shattering a giant rock over twenty feet high, finally stopping his retreat!

"Again!"

Ye Qingchen shouted in a deep voice.

His long sword already turned, transforming into an imposing flash of sword light, blasting toward Lin Tonghai once more. The Heaven-shocking Sword Rainbow, unmatched in splendor, streaked across the sky like a long rainbow piercing the sun, targeting Lin Tonghai!

The sweeping Sword Qi turned the area into a sea of Sword Qi within a hundred feet.

Facing this unstoppable sword, Lin Tonghai’s expression was utterly grave. He held the sword with both hands, rapidly turned it, swiftly slashed it in mid-air, then followed with a quick chop!

In that instant, it was as if hundreds of Sword Dao masters launched their moves simultaneously, conjuring a sky full of sword shadows in midair. Then these myriad sword shadows suddenly gathered together, transforming into an unremarkable sword, cleaving toward Ye Qingchen’s sword light!

"Clang!"

An even more thunderous sound than before suddenly erupted.

This sword.

In their confrontation, it wasn’t just their Sword Dao at odds but also their physical bodies and True Qi. One could say everything they learned was displayed to its fullest in this strike!

Under Lin Tonghai’s feet, the ground suddenly shattered, and he once again lost his balance, forced to retreat repeatedly, while a hint of shock emerged in his eyes.

He hadn’t expected that the power of this strike from Ye Qingchen would be so formidable as to push him back once more!

"No wonder he’s a Human Immortal!"

But what Lin Tonghai didn’t know was that Ye Qingchen was also somewhat surprised. In that strike, he had already used all his power; if it had been Chang Yuchun or Li Shanchang, they would likely have been slain long ago.

Yet Lin Tonghai was unscathed.

However.

Ye Qingchen, instead of being shocked, was delighted, letting out a loud laugh, his fighting spirit boiling and surging like the ocean.

Almost without a trace of hesitation, he stepped forward once more. Clenching his right hand suddenly, the Gui Xu Sword in his palm flickered with unstable Sword Qi light. The other nine Spirit Swords rotated rapidly like satellites, forming an incredibly mystical picture as the runes turned over.

At the same time.

He had already slashed out with another sword strike, once again charging toward Lin Tonghai.

"Hah!"

Facing such a skillful strike from Ye Qingchen, Lin Tonghai gritted his teeth tightly, adjusting all his energy to its peak. Even the Asura Demon Aspect surrounding him slowly raised its long sword at this moment, slashing down deliberately.

This sword appeared excruciatingly slow, yet effortlessly carried a tremendous weight, as if Lin Tonghai was clutching a thousand-pound object, creating a slew of phantasmal afterimages!

"Boom!"

The twin swords clashed again, the afterimages shattered, Lin Tonghai’s body trembled, retreating violently. The long sword in his hand trembled, buzzing as if ready to shatter at any moment, showcasing the immense power infused into that previous strike!

"Again!"

Before he could catch his breath, Ye Qingchen had already let out a long roar, charging once again!

In a flash.

Boundless Sword Qi twisted, almost enveloping the vast sky.

In the distance, several Half-Step Human Immortals like Chen Ming and Zhu Wu widened their eyes.

Under their gaze, Ye Qingchen, with a cultivation of Celestial Venerable Eighth Layer, faced Lin Tonghai alone, even thoroughly gaining the upper hand, suppressing him tightly. Lin Tonghai had to exert all his strength to fend off each attack from Ye Qingchen!

"How is he so strong!"

Zhu Wu trembled.

"That kid is only at the Celestial Venerable Eighth Layer, in just a few days, he’s transformed entirely, even the Hall Master can’t suppress him!" Chen Ming’s face was extremely grim.

They came here to hunt and kill Ye Qingchen, nine Half-Step Human Immortals, and one Human Immortal! Yet now, with Ye Qingchen still alive, they had already lost four Half-Step Human Immortals one after another, and although Li Shanchang wasn’t dead, he was completely wasted.

Now even Lin Tonghai couldn’t suppress Ye Qingchen, leaving everyone feeling utterly desperate.

"Can the Hall Master really kill Ye Qingchen?"

They deeply doubted.

"All together now!" Zhu Wu’s eyes grew cold, icy to the extreme, "Even if he’s stronger, can he stand against all of us joining forces?"

"Alright!"

Boom!

Confronted with Lin Tonghai, whom even a Human Immortal couldn’t suppress, Zhu Wu, Chen Ming, and the other four couldn’t bear it any longer, and without any hesitation, they violently attacked.

Ye Qingchen’s strength had grown terrifyingly, if he survived today, it would spell great disaster in the future!

"Be careful!"

Since the Ten Thousand Gods Sect had a precedent of sneak attacks, Lu Yanwu and Kong Jing had been watching Zhu Wu and the others intently. Seeing them suddenly move upon the wind, they quickly shouted a warning.

In their shouts.

These four Half-Step Human Immortals had already unleashed their entire cultivation, Demonic Qi swirling around them, transforming into streaks of black light. Various attacks directly flooded toward Ye Qingchen like a storm.

Facing the joint assault from nearly half of the Celestial Kill Hall’s upper echelon, Ye Qingchen showed no fear, instead laughing wildly:

"Come on!"

"In that case, I’ll slay you all first!"

Boom!

His eyes flashed with a cold light, holding back nothing now.
