Chapter 64: Chapter 60: Battle of the Spirit Sea

"Jiang Yao, Sister!"

Liu Chan'er looked at the girl who had suddenly appeared and exclaimed with delight!

Entrusted by Jiang Yao, she had come to assist Ye Chen, but Zhou Yuntian's sudden sneak attack had taken her by surprise, leaving her somewhat frightened.

Luckily, Ye Chen reacted extremely fast, dodging Zhou Yuntian's recent move. If Ye Chen really had been harmed by Zhou Yuntian, Liu Chan'er wouldn't know how to face Jiang Yao.

Now that Jiang Yao had personally arrived to protect Ye Chen, Liu Chan'er no longer feared.

With her elder sister Jiang Yao here, she no longer worried that Ye Chen would be in any danger!

Liu Chan'er understood the true strength of her senior sister Jiang Yao better than anyone else!

She even withdrew the two silver bracelets she had previously activated and effortlessly stood beside Jiang Yao.

"Jiang Yao."

Seeing the girl who had flown over and landed directly in front of him, blocking Zhou Yuntian for him, Ye Chen felt a warmth in his heart.

Ever since Liu Chan'er came from Taixuan Sect on Jiang Yao's behalf, Ye Chen knew how much he meant to Jiang Yao.

Now, Jiang Yao had personally flown here, confronting the Spirit Sea Realm mid-stage powerhouse Zhou Yuntian face-to-face, obviously fearing he might be struck by Zhou Yuntian's sudden attack, and was here to protect him.

He clearly understood the girl's intentions.

Having someone come all this distance to protect you from all storms was truly a warm feeling.

"Senior Sister Jiang Yao?!"

On the sect entrance plaza, countless disciples, seeing the girl who had suddenly flown down from the sky to stand in front of Ye Chen, rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

The long hair that swayed gently in the breeze, the exquisite and stunning beauty, the clear eyes as bright as stars, the graceful figure and the pure and holy demeanor, if not their highly revered Senior Sister Jiang Yao, who else could it be?

Many of them had only seen pictures of Jiang Yao and were smitten. Now, this girl, even more beautiful than any portrait, appearing before them, left their minds completely blank.

"Is this the Spirit Sea Realm powerhouse from Taixuan Sect, Jiang Yao?"

"The girl hailed as the number one genius among the thirty-six sects?"

The Qingyun Sect's sect leader Luo Kun and the seven elders were also stunned by the girl standing in front of Ye Chen, but when they considered her identity, they became even more anxious.

This was a Spirit Sea Realm powerhouse from Taixuan Sect!

She really came here for Ye Chen!

Clearly, the relationship between Ye Chen and her was not ordinary!

At this moment, Zhou Yuntian's face was ashen. He hadn't expected Ye Chen to escape his sudden attack, and he certainly hadn't expected Jiang Yao, who was supposed to protect Ye Chen, to actually come in person.

"Jiang Yao?"

"It seems that your relationship with this Ye Chen really is extraordinary!"

"You're truly here to back him up to the end!"

A Spirit Sea Realm early-stage powerhouse—he would be much more troublesome to deal with than Ye Chen!

Jiang Yao's gaze lingered on the ashen-faced Zhou Yuntian before turning back to Ye Chen.

Once she saw Ye Chen, the worry and anger in the girl's eyes softened.

As long as he was fine, everything was all right.

As for the rest, let me handle it for him, just like he shielded me from the storm beneath the fiery waterfall on Ten Thousand Swords Mountain!

"Ye Chen, I know everything about your issue with Zhou Yuntian."

"Let me take care of the rest, is that okay?"

Jiang Yao asked gently, looking at Ye Chen.

She worried that Ye Chen's pride would prevent him from letting her take action.

If that were the case… it would make her very sad.

Ye Chen looked at Jiang Yao, and from her eyes, he understood everything.

"Jiang Yao, I want to see your true strength now that you're no longer restrained by True Qi," Ye Chen said with a smile and nodded.

He wouldn't casually dismiss the intentions of the girl. There was no need for pretense and distance between them anymore.

If Zhou Yuntian indeed could harm her, then it would be time to act!

Ye Chen was absolutely confident that he could launch his flying sword before Jiang Yao got hurt.

When Jiang Yao heard Ye Chen's words, her eyes suddenly lit up, and a captivating smile spread in her beautiful eyes. Ye Chen was willing to let her take action, making her long journey here truly worth it.

Jiang Yao's delicate face broke into a slight smile: "Ye Chen, leave it to me."

Then, she turned around to face Zhou Yuntian. Her clear voice spread across the entire entrance plaza: "Zhou Yuntian, as a Spirit Sea Realm powerhouse, you do not even abide by the rules of martial arts, capturing even Ye Chen's father and mother!"

"Today, I, Jiang Yao, challenge you to a life-and-death battle to settle this vengeance once and for all!"

"Do you dare to accept this fight?"

Jiang Yao had learned of the enmity between Ye Chen and Zhou Yuntian from the disciples of Heavenly Net Sect in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. Knowing this, how could she let Ye Chen be threatened any longer?

Might as well settle it all in one go!

A life-and-death battle!

As soon as Jiang Yao spoke, the entire plaza was shocked that she called for a life-and-death battle with Zhou Yuntian.

A life-and-death battle meant that only one of the fighting parties could survive.

Jiang Yao, for Ye Chen, was willing to gamble her life against Zhou Yuntian!

They couldn't believe that the bond between Jiang Yao and Ye Chen was so strong that she would call for a life-and-death battle with a Spirit Sea Realm mid-stage powerhouse—for Ye Chen!

It should be remembered that Jiang Yao was only at the Spirit Sea Realm early-stage cultivation level!

"Our Senior Sister Jiang Yao..."

The sect disciples, looking at the unrivalled beauty, then at Ye Chen, felt a complex mixture of emotions.

Jiang Yao's words let everyone know the place Ye Chen held in her heart.

Many disciples from various sects had bitter expressions on their faces.

Jiang Yao was unafraid of death for Ye Chen; it was clear that her heart had no room for another.

"A life-and-death battle?"

Zhou Yuntian's bloodshot eyes gleamed, "Do you think that just because you are from Taixuan Sect, I would not dare to kill you?"

"Whoever backs Ye Chen today will die, and you are no exception!"

"A life-and-death battle, I accept!"

Facing the demonic talent that was Ye Chen, Zhou Yuntian's determination to kill was unwavering; letting Ye Chen escape would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains.

Zhou Yuntian would not allow such a thing to happen, not even for Jiang Yao!

As long as no high-ranking individual from Taixuan Sect came, he didn't care; Jiang Yao, who had only entered the Spirit Sea Realm a year ago and was still in the early stages, was not yet enough to scare him off!

Boom!

Having spoken, Zhou Yuntian soared into the sky, ascending more than a hundred meters. His blood-colored robe suddenly swirled, and a thick surge of Astounding True Qi flame rolled out from within him, a roaring blaze swirling around his body!

Around him for tens of meters, the area had turned into a sea of fire!

At the same time, Jiang Yao also leaped into the air with a light tap of her toes.

Jiang Yao, standing in mid-air, had her hair, reaching down to her waist, fluttering in the wind; the True Qi in her spirit sea also swept out, the surging green True Qi wildly expanding and ascending, extending tens of meters around her as well!

From afar, Zhou Yuntian in the void was enveloped in a vast fiery blaze of blood-red light.

On the other side, Jiang Yao was surrounded by a surging dense green mist.

The fiery blaze and the green mist enveloped the sky for hundreds of meters around where the two stood!

Two Spirit Sea Realm experts faced each other from a distance.

A battle of the Spirit Sea was about to erupt!

Seeing the two Spirit Sea Realm powerhouses opposing each other in the void, the Qingyun Sect's sect master and the seven elders all helplessly shook their heads and stepped aside.

Now, although they were within Qingyun Sect's territory, they could not afford to provoke either Jiang Yao or Zhou Yuntian.

These two were set against each other for Ye Chen, and it was better to resolve this battle!

Meanwhile, the sect disciples in the plaza were all holding their breaths as they watched Jiang Yao and Zhou Yuntian releasing their True Qi in the void.

This was a battle at the level of the Spirit Sea Realm, something none of them had ever witnessed with their own eyes!

"The Spirit Sea Realm!"

"Indeed, after the transformation of the spirit sea from the spirit ocean, the quantity of True Qi has undergone a qualitative improvement, allowing for the control of such vast True Qi!"

Ye Chen looked at Jiang Yao and Zhou Yuntian in the void, watching the vast fiery blaze and dense green smoke that covered hundreds of meters around, feeling his blood stir with excitement.

His cultivation of True Qi was only at the sixth layer, still far from Jiang Yao and Zhou Yuntian!

Although his swordsmanship comprehension was strong, he still had a long way to go in the realm of True Qi.

Stepping into the Spirit Sea Realm, or even the Rotating Pill Realm, the Heavenly Saint Realm!

Having enough strength to protect himself, to protect the ones he loved!

To join hands with Jiang Yao, soaring through the heavens and exploring the vast skies—that was the life he desired!

Now, he was still far from enough!

"Sister Jiang Yao."

Liu Chan'er, standing beside Ye Chen, also lifted her little head to gaze at Jiang Yao in the sky.

Just as everyone's eyes were fixed on the two in the sky, Zhou Yuntian, whose aura had reached its peak, made the first move!

His blood robe fiercely waved, and dozens of fiery light orbs burst forth from him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The moment these orbs of flames appeared, they swiftly streaked across the sky, heading straight for Jiang Yao.

The terrifying temperature of the fire orbs even burned the air into nothingness. Those standing hundreds of meters away in the plaza could feel the formidable power of the fire orbs.

Even when a spark hit the ground, a large area of the plaza's bluestone was scorched black!

This frightened many to move even further away from the center of the battleground below.

In the sky.

In an instant, the skyful of fire orbs assaulted Jiang Yao's front.

At this moment, Jiang Yao's snowy white wrist made a subtle move, and a several-foot-long Ice Ruler appeared in her slender hand.

Wielding the Ice Ruler, Jiang Yao's delicate figure twirled and vanished from the void; in the next instant, endless Ruler Skills burst forth amidst the torrent of fire orbs.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Each streak of ruler light targeted a fire orb, and the skyful of ruler light directly struck at the skyful of fire orbs.

Amid the countless explosions of True Qi, the fire orbs that burned the air into nothingness were, in an instant, extinguished one by one by the endless ruler light.

Not a single fire orb escaped unscathed in the entire sky!

Jiang Yao's Ice Ruler skill was even more powerful than the flames that scorched the bluestone!

Seeing Jiang Yao's move, Zhou Yuntian's eyes narrowed sharply, and in the next moment, he stretched out his skeletal hand, and a blood-colored bead the size of a fist burst forth.

As soon as this blood bead was shot out, it split from one to two, and then from two to four; in an instant, it turned into countless blood beads that bombarded Jiang Yao once again.

As the blood beads flew, their entire surface radiated with blood-colored light, and at the same time, infinite howling sounds emanated from them.

This howling sound reverberated in all directions, causing many of the disciples with weaker True Qi standing in the plaza to be knocked to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices.

Clearly, the sound of howling from the blood beads held immense lethality.

This was a more terrifying sonic killing attack!
