Boom!
At this moment.
Everyone in Black Abyss City was stunned.
They never imagined that, in the face of two powerful forces, Ye Qingchen would not only show no sign of fear but also take the initiative. This young man was truly audacious!
The crowd of Linyuan Tower was even more dumbfounded.
They too felt the terrifying aura rushing in. Under this aura, even standing was extremely difficult for them, and some cultivators with lower strength were already kneeling on the ground.
Yet Ye Qingchen dared to stand in defiance?
Crash!
Ding Qitian was the first to charge in front of Linyuan Tower. A swift flick of his long sleeve conjured a wild gale that tore off the tower’s roof amidst exclamations of shock.
Ding Qitian’s eyes narrowed as he saw Ye Qingchen, surrounded by swirling Sword Qi. A thunderous voice carried over Black Abyss City.
"Ye Qingchen!"
"You have the audacity to kill my child!"
The light dissipated.
Revealing Ding Qitian, imposing and fierce.
Indeed!
In Black Abyss City, none who stood firm were pushovers.
Boom!
Almost simultaneously, Yuan Shisan, transformed into a blood-red light, also charged into the skies above Linyuan Tower.
"Ye Qingchen!"
"Unexpectedly, you’ve made it alive to Black Abyss City, but today I shall ensure you don’t leave!"
In the city.
Everyone watched in disbelief.
On one side was Yuan Shisan, with True Qi like flames, filling half the sky with fire.
On the other side was Ding Qitian, with True Qi as dark as night, resembling clouds that covered the sky.
These two.
Stood in the void like Divine Demons.
And now.
Their eyes fell on Ye Qingchen atop Linyuan Tower. Compared to them, his sky-reaching Sword Qi seemed suppressed to an extreme, like a flickering candle in the wind. Yet, no matter the pressure, it stubbornly refused to extinguish.
"I, Ye Qingchen, am right here. If you wish to kill, then come!"
Boom!
With his words.
The once-weak Sword Qi suddenly surged skyward like a torch. Concurrently, his aura climbed, as if stepping onto a new level.
Profound Pill Third Heaven!
Since leaving Xingyue City, he has fought continuously, and his strength was no longer the same. Now, under the pressure of two Profound Core Ninth Heaven experts, his potential was ignited, and he broke through his cultivation.
"Hmm?"
Ding Qitian was stunned, not yet reacting.
But Yuan Shisan’s gaze turned cold.
You must know.
He had thoroughly investigated Ye Qingchen’s background. This boy was only at Profound Pill First Layer when he defeated Shi Potian in Cyan Continent. By the time he fought in Xingyue City, he reached Profound Pill Second Heaven.
But now, in less than a month, he broke through to Profound Pill Third Heaven.
Such potential is terrifying!
Ye Qingchen must die.
The moment this thought emerged, he struck.
Boom!
With a wave of his hand, his mighty True Qi, like a fiery torrent, flooded the air, forming a giant flame palm hundreds of feet wide. It pressed down on Ye Qingchen, carrying immense heat waves.
The scorching heat caused the entire Linyuan Tower to spontaneously combust!
Whoosh!
In an instant, Linyuan Tower transformed into a terrifying torch, blazing into the sky.
Yuan Shisan was indeed ruthless, willing to involve everyone in Linyuan Tower to kill Ye Qingchen!
"Not good, run!"
"This murderous Yuan Shisan dragged everyone into this!"
In an instant.
Linyuan Tower echoed with cries and curses. Figures desperately fled from the tower, as if waiting one more second would lead to a fiery death.
Those who escaped glanced back.
They saw.
Ye Qingchen still stood atop Linyuan Tower as the flame palm pressed down on him.
"Rumbling!"
A heaven-shaking explosion suddenly erupted.
They saw.
The three-hundred-foot-high Linyuan Tower, the tallest in Black Abyss City, was utterly crushed under Yuan Shisan’s palm. In the violent blast, fiery waves spread out, reducing hundreds of nearby houses to ashes.
The entire sky was lit up by the blaze.
"This..."
The crowd rushing to watch from afar trembled at the rising flames.
Was this one strike enough to extinguish Ye Qingchen?
"Young Master Ye..."
From afar, Ma Jiu watched.
Compared to the bloodthirsty Ding Qitian and Yuan Shisan, his heart leaned toward the young man. But alas, no matter how strong Ye Qingchen was, he might not survive Yuan Shisan’s strike.
Nearly everyone present shared this thought, even Ding Qitian frowned, displeased at not killing Ye Qingchen personally.
But.
Suddenly, a cry erupted.
"How is this possible?"
"He’s still alive?"
"Impossible...That was Yuan Shisan’s palm!"
Upon hearing this, Ding Qitian’s heart sank as he looked forward, and his heart sank even more. From the ruins of Linyuan Tower, leveled to the ground, amidst the raging fire, a figure slowly emerged.
As he appeared, the surrounding flames receded like a tide. The figure in the fiery glow stood firm, wind blowing his long hair and robes, revealing an incredibly determined face.
Upon clearly seeing the face, everyone gasped.
"He blocked it!"
"He actually blocked Yuan Shisan’s strike?"
"That palm was terrifying, even leveling Linyuan Tower, yet this lad survived. No wonder he earned a bounty and fought his way to Black Abyss City!"
People shouted wildly.
Even Ma Jiu couldn’t help but feel delighted. Could Ye Qingchen escape from here? But his face soon dimmed again. Knowing that during his time in Xingyue City, only Yuan Shisan, at Profound Core Ninth Heaven, posed a challenge.
But now, besides Yuan Shisan, there was also an equally formidable Ding Qitian.
Escaping from these two seemed as impossible as reaching the heavens. Moreover, Yuan Shisan brought most of Slaughter Hall, with five Elders at Profound Pill Seventh and Eighth Heavens.
Ding Qitian also had a slightly lesser but equally competent team.
Indeed.
Seeing Ye Qingchen survive the strike, both Yuan Shisan and Ding Qitian’s expressions turned grim. They realized this boy was more troublesome than anticipated.
"I said, killing me is not that easy!"
Ye Qingchen gripped the Netherworld Sword, his veins bulging.
He knew.
Tonight, facing these two, escape was unlikely, he might never reach Abyssal Valley.
If so.
Then fight to the end!
Boom!
With those words,
Piercing star power surged forth like a fountain, resembling silvery flames. Behind him, a towering sword-shaped apparition appeared.
Under this terrifying momentum, the surrounding harsh flames receded, forming a vast vacuum!
"Zheng!"
They saw.
Ye Qingchen raised his sword, pointing at Yuan Shisan. Instantly, a burst of sword light, rainbow-like, comet-like, tearing through the fire-streaked sky, erupting with boundless light!
Ye Qingchen launched his attack!
