Chapter 789: 789

After killing the frail middle-aged man, Ye Chen stood still without helping anybody . There was nobody to help after all .





Jin Wanshuang actually had a slight upper hand against Shi Shaobao . On the other side, he cold-faced youngster and middle-aged scholar were both sword artists . If Ye Chen went to help, he would instead displease the cold-faced youngster .

As for Lin Yuxuan, he might as well not think about it . This person was so arrogant . How would he endure being helped by others?

The two brothers were unreasonable, and their thought process was out of common people’s grasp . It would be better to not hastily get involved in their business . As for the yellow-robed woman, as Ye Chen saw it, it was her opponents who needed assistance . If he went to help her, it would be a certain overkill . Murong Qingcheng also had the upper hand, and was unceasingly suppressing the young woman . Their battle would probably settle soon .

And finally, the battle between the experienced old man and the old man in the raincoat was somewhat confusing . The experienced old man’s style relied on speed and precision while the style of the old man in the raincoat was just like his attire—eccentric and impossible to understand . During a direct confrontation, he would suddenly take a sharp turn; during an exchange of full powered blows, he would suddenly make a mad retreat and issue a desperate strike while retreating . In short, his style was not something that could be understood through common sense .

Retracting his gaze, Ye Chen turned his attention to the small mountain of upper grade spirit stones at the center .

The reason this astonishing amount of upper grade spirit stones could survive for so many years was due to the array underneath it . If Ye Chen guessed right, this array should be Spirit Locking Array, which could lock spirit Qi within the array, not allowing it to scatter outside .

Apart from locking the spirit Qi, this array also had provided a strong defense . With so many energy blasts flying around in the palace, it had not allowed the palace to even shake . However, the Spirit Locking Array was not a defensive array after all . After being battered countless times, it had begun to slightly fluctuate and flicker .

Ye Chen didn’t dare to cut open the array . He feared that the moment he did so, the energy blasts flying all around the palace would immediately crush the stones into powder . If five hundred million upper grade spirit stones were turned into powder, even he wouldn’t be able to forgive himself .

Despite being idle, he couldn’t get his hands on the spirit stones . He could only spectate the battles from the sidelines .

“Four Way Sky Extinction Sword Art!”

“Slaughter Unbound Sword!”

The confrontation between the two sword artists attracted Ye Chen’s attraction . Both the middle-aged scholar and cold-faced youngster revealed their killer moves, intending to determine the winner and survivor with one exchange .  The middle-aged schlolar’s killer move included four components— the wood, metal, fire, and earth profounds . Of course, these four profounds were not fused, instead complementing each other separately . Four sword strikes immediately cut off all path of retreats and advances of the cold-faced youngster while carrying an aura of destruction with them . Meanwhile, the latter’s killer move was a fusion of wood profound and metal profound, containing the sustenance of wood’s toughness and the sharpness of metal’s edge . He issued a simple thrust without any fanciness, which followed the gaps in the other’s move

‘Powerful! Both of these are comparable to me in strength . I almost certainly can’t beat any of the two without using the Bewitching Mirror Shattering . And even after that, I’ll only have a seventy percent chance of victory . ’ Ye Chen’s brain was running at a lightning fast speed, analyzing their strength and how would they fare against him .





Before he could finish his thoughts, the two killer moves collided amidst crackling lightning, and millions of light specks suddenly erupted . Even Ye Chen was unable to see what happened instantly, and could only guess according to the trajectory of the light specks .

Puff!

As the light specks dimmed, a stream of blood shot up to a height of three meters . The middle-aged scholar’s head was slightly raised, and his neck had a frightening sword scar . His throat had been thoroughly pierced and vertebra cut open at a strange angle, no longer capable of bearing the weight of his head .

In the confrontation of aces, the middle-aged scholar was the first to fall .

Ye Chen turned his attention to the cold-faced youngster, who was heavily injured . Normally, this would already be considered a mortal injury . Both his right and left chest were separately pierced, and both thighs had deep scar scars, spurting fountains of blood and causing him to be completely soaked in blood .

“One died and the other heavily injured…This is the battle of sword artists!” Ye Chen sighed .

Clang!

Upon killing the middle-aged scholar, the cold-faced youngster’s body went soft . His longsword lay on the ground beside his knees as he spurted mouthfuls of blood . His hair were soaked in blood and sweat . At this point, not to mention a half-step King, even an Astral Reaching martial artist could kill him .

The wounds on his legs and right chest were not fatal, but the same could not be said for the wound on his right chest . It was merely missing his heart by a hair’s breadth . It could even be said that the reason he could survive was seventy to eighty percent due to luck . The middle-aged scholar was the most frightening sword artist he’d encountered without a doubt, and one who had a good chance of killing him .

“Die!”

Right at this moment, a huge lion claw suddenly streaked toward the cold-faced youngster . The claw was huge, sharp, and shone with a golden radiance . It naturally belonged to the transformed Shi Shabao . He and Jin Wanshuang had both been forced back after an exchange . His direction and timing coincided with the cold-faced youngster killing the middle-aged scholar . Since the former was heavily injured as well, he clawed at him, hoping to easily send him to his grave .

The cold-faced youngster didn’t even have the strength to raise his eyes, not to mention pick his sword and block . If nothing unexpected occurred, his death was already determined .

Clang!





However, an unexpected thing did occur as a longsword blocked Shi Shaobao’s claw .

It was Ye Chen!

“You’re courting death!” Shi Shaobao’s huge lion head spat out, glowering at Ye Chen .

Ye Chen faintly smiled, “We’re enemies, so why would I heed you?”


Replying Ye Chen was a roar as Shi Shaobao’s body twisted, clawing at Ye Chen .

“Off you go!”

Ye Chen held the sword with both hands . A black thunder sphere condensed on the sword’s tip and instantly erupted, blasting off Shi Shaobao’s figure, his golden hair fluttering .

Deng!

After transforming into his true form, his claws were his body’s hardest parts . Ye Chen’s sword had not injured him, but when his body was mid-air, a silver figure bolted in and punched his chest . Issuing the punch, Jin Wanshuang didn’t turn greedy and instantly retreated to avoid Shi Shaobao’s counterattack .

As expected, Shi Shaobao spurted out a huge mouthful of blood after suffering the punch . However, his first reaction was not to stop the aggression for a moment, but counterattack even more ferociously . Under the pain, his counterattack was even more frantic than his full power attack .

Unfortunately, Jin Wanshuang didn’t give him the opportunity .

Failing in his counterattack, his figure shot back and landed on four claws . His chest had a small fist impression, while his seven openings were bleeding . He had suffered a substantial injury .

If not for him being a genius of Golden Lion Clan with top class blood vessels and incomparably tough physical body, he would have been gravely injured, if not dead . However, his strength was more or less the same as Jin Wanshuang’s . Although he had the confidence to slow grind down the latter if he had sufficient time, now that he had suffered this injury, he was no longer Jin Wanshuang’s opponent .





As he swept his gaze around, he turned silent .

Apart from the old man in the raincoat who seemed to be fighting at ease, the others seemed to be in perilous situations . The situation was not looking as good as he had imagined . If this continued, they would be wiped out one at a time .

“Retreat!” With a roar, Shi Shaobao rushed toward the conveyor array .

Swish Swish!

Two figures immediately arrived with a flicker—one was the pale-faced young woman and the other was the blood-soaked masked man . These two had encountered extremely troublesome opponents . The former’s opponent was Murong Qingcheng, who had absurd and unfathomable dark martial skills . The masked man’s opponent was Daer Ba, who was more like an undying freak . The two had been intending to retreat long ago .

“Gotta go! Hehe, your strength is not bad…This old man won’t play with you anymore . ” The old man’s figure shuttled between the drizzle, flickering indefinitely . He easily threw off the experienced old man and headed toward the array, leaving behind countless afterimages .

Seeing something amiss, the middle-aged woman immediately ditched the bushy bearded man .

The white-faced youngster’s luck was quite bad . His path of retreat was the same as the bald fatty, whose movement techniques were too powerful . Daer Xiong didn’t target him, and instead hacked at the white-faced youngster, cleaving him into two from head to toe .

Seeing the enemy fleeing in a hurry, Jin Wanshuang didn’t try to obstruct them . It was the so-called not to push a desperate enemy . In absolute desperation, the enemy would certainly retaliate with their life on the line . Everybody at the scene had more or less the same strength . Facing a desperate counterattack would certainly increase the deaths among them too .

“We’re leaving!” The conveyor array had already been activated when Shi Shaobao grimly said .

The masked man said, “There is still one more . ” He glanced towards the bushy beardedman .

Shi Shaobao shook his head, “He won’t be coming . ”

At the crucial moment, the yellow-robed woman turned somewhat serious . Her figure transformed into a streak of light and shot toward her opponent, coiling around his body like a huge yellow snake .

Crank…

Unceasing popping sounds came from inside the bushy bearded man’s body . As the snake unwrapped, his body turned soft and spread out on the floor like a pile of flesh . The bones inside his body had been thoroughly crushed by the yellow-robed woman in an instant .

Her strength astonished everybody .

Buzz!

The conveyor array flickered, and Shi Shaobao’s group disappeared from the palace .

“I owe you a life . ” The cold-faced youngster said to Ye Chen .

“He was my enemy too . ” Ye Chen sheathed his sword back .

“Debts must be paid back . This life, I’ll return to you . ” Saying these words, the cold-faced youngster sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes . Meanwhile, Ye Chen indifferently smiled and headed toward others .

Jin Wanshuang’s body had lost its silver glow as he swept his gaze through everybody . Seeing that the middle-aged woman and the yellow-faced big man had died, he couldn’t help but sigh faintly . He had invited ten experts, each of whom was experienced and powerful . However, when encountering experts of the same level, casualties were bound to occur .

Fortunately, the enemy’s losses were much greater . They came as a group of ten, but were only leaving as six . Their deaths were twice as much in comparison .

This bloody battle was won, but it was a cruel victory .
