As soon as he finished speaking…
Kacha!
Ye Lingtian’s sword shattered into pieces. At the same time, a violent force came crashing toward him, forcing him to unleash all of his strength to defend himself.
Bang!
When the two forces collided, Ye Lingtian was forced back more than ten steps, and a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
Just as he was about to fall into the sea, a hand caught his shoulder and pulled him back.
It was Ye Chen.
“Hall Master… I have disappointed you,” Ye Lingtian said.
Ye Chen patted Ye Lingtian’s shoulder and consoled him. “You’re already doing pretty well. You’re not used to this power yet. Once you’ve completely fused with it, you’ll become even stronger.”
“Also, this person is a little too strong for you.”
Ye Chen stared at Xiang Yingjie with a cold gaze.
Xiang Yingjie twisted his neck and finally looked at Ye Chen. “Ye Chen, you had that old fellow protecting you previously, but not today,” he said mockingly.
“If you’ve offended the Mo family, even that old fellow cannot protect you.”
“Unexpectedly though, you’re also a body cultivatorWhat I didn’t expect was that you’re also a body cultivator, and it looks like you’ve reached the second level of the bone condensation realm. Perhaps to ordinary people, you might be considered a strong person, but not to me. I’ve reached the peak of the Overlord Body realm, and I’m on the verge of reaching the astral transformation realm! Today, I’ll have you experience what despair feels like!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Yingjie took three steps forward and leaped over ten meters into the air. As his body descended, he threw a mighty punch!
“You are just an ant trying to shake a tree, and unworthy of fighting me! Shatter!”
Xiang Yingjie’s violent body-refining power was released, and his fist began to glow light blue as it smashed toward Ye Chen.
The blue fist created shockwaves as it flew through the air, which swept toward Ye Chen like a tidal wave!
Rumble!
Moments later, a loud explosion rang out, and the world shook.
Ye Chen’s eyes were filled with determination, and his body refining power fused itself with the Immortal Flames around his fist. At the same time, he circulated the power of the blood dragon!
The seawater behind him suddenly churned as his boundless energy exploded. This punch was world-shaking!
In the distance, Situ Feng exhaled. From his perspective, Ye Chen was dead for sure.
Although he could not stand Xiang Yingjie, he knew how strong the latter was. The fact that he was no match for Xiang Yingjie was a fact.
However, despite this, he saw something shocking. The fists were still in contact with each other after the collision, and neither one was retreating or at a disadvantage!
“Impossible!”
Situ Feng cried out in shock. The powerhouses from the Punishment Bureau and the crowd gasped!
Here in Seaside City, the number of young geniuses who could withstand a punch from Xiang Yingjie were few and far between. Who was this brat?
At this moment, the air seemed to be filled with two types of energy, one like a lion, and the other like a dragon.
Xiang Yingjie’s heart was in turmoil, as he could sense Ye Chen’s strength.
They were actually evenly matched!
Even though he was only using 70% of his full strength, this should not have happened. He could not accept it!
Xiang Yingjie no longer hesitated. He roared and unleashed his full power. Like a giant lion, he lunged at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen’s eyes turned cold as he channeled all the true qi in his dantian into his arm. He would not back down!
However, he was still far inferior to Xiang Yingjie in terms of body refining, so with a loud thud, Ye Chen spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated three steps!
Xiang Yingjie was not in a good state either. Blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth, and he also took two steps back.
The clothes on his body had already been torn apart, revealing his rock-like muscles.
His gaze was extremely solemn, as he could feel his internal organs shaking.
This was something he had never experienced before!
Who was this kid? How could a bone condensation realm cultivator’s body be able to contend with his overlord body realm cultivation?
In just one exchange, not only did Ye Chen not perish, he even injured Xiang Yingjie. To Xiang Yingjie, this was humiliating!
The killing intent in Xiang Yingjie’s eyes grew even stronger. He knew that Ye Chen was already injured, so now was obviously the best chance to get rid of this pest!
“Little b*stard, you’re pretty good! However, you won’t be able to withstand my next punch!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Yingjie’s killing intent surged into the sky. Starlight gathered around his fist like a giant star, which then collapsed like a supernova as it rushed toward Ye Chen.
This punch contained his full power. Even though the strength of Ye Chen’s physical body had surprised him, there was no way that it could withstand this punch!
As a precaution, Xiang Yingjie even forced out a drop of blood essence. As the blood essence burned, the aura on his body grew even more terrifying!
This was the first time in many years that someone had forced him to go all out.
At this moment, Ye Chen could feel his body trembling. The arm that he had used to attack earlier felt a little numb as well.
If he solely relied on the power of his body, he knew that he would suffer.
His gaze landed on the Nine Nether Sky Spear in the Samsara Graveyard.
This was the perfect opportunity to test the combined power of the Nine Nether Sky Spear and the Three Heavens Ultimate spear technique!
Although he did not know how powerful the combination would be, he was confident that it would be enough to deal with Xiang Yingjie.
Ye Chen did not retreat and took a step forward. However, just as he was about to take out the Nine Nether Sky Spear, someone shouted, “Stop!”
Then, a beautiful figure slowly descended and stood in front of him.
A faint fragrance filled the air as he looked at the back of the fairy-like young woman in front of him, who exuded an ethereal aura.
Mo Ning!
Mo Ning’s appearance instantly made the killing intent in the air dissipate. She waved her fingers, and a golden barrier appeared in front of her. Ancient runes constantly revolved around the barrier.
At this moment, Xiang Yingjie’s fist slammed into the golden barrier!
However, not only did the barrier not collapse, it actually reflected a portion of the force, which smashed into Xiang Yingjie’s body.
Xiang Yingjie had not expected Mo Ning to suddenly rush out to save Ye Chen, so he was completely taken by surprise, and the impact of the reflected force caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
His body almost fell to the ground.
At the critical moment, he grabbed his broadsword and stabbed it into the ground, which created a deep sword scar as his body was forced back.
When the crowd saw this scene, someone suddenly screamed, “That was the Mo family’s technique! Miss Mo actually used the Heaven and Earth Reversal technique!”
“That’s not right. The order to arrest Ye Chen was issued by the Mo family. Why would the young lady of the Mo family save Ye Chen? Logically speaking, Ye Chen wouldn’t be able to handle Xiang Yingjie’s punch after all…”
