Chapter 175 - Kill Xi Yang! (1/2)

“A Fifth Level mystical beast almost exposed me.” Ye Chen smiled faintly. This Earth Varmint was quite sensitive to danger. It would be beneficial to keep it.

Xi Yang closed his eyes again and continued to cultivate.

Ordinarily, if Ye Chen had encountered a mid-Earthly Venerable Rank combatant, he would take his time to play with him. However, now was not the time. If he did not finish this as soon as possible, other people would come soon. At that time, it would be difficult for Ye Chen to extract himself. Furthermore, it would be troublesome if Xi Yang had ran away.

Ye Chen slowly lurked at a distance of about a hundred meters from Xi Yang, divine light shining in his eyes. Behind him, the gold-armored soldier had materialized and lunged toward Xi Yang with a sword in his hand.

Sensing something, Xi Yang suddenly opened his eyes in shock. He saw a burning gold-armored soldier charging toward him.

An evil spirit? Was it a ghost?

Seeing the scarlet eyes of the gold-armored soldier, Xi Yang was shocked and immediately jumped up.

“Heavenly Stalwart Crush!” Xi Yang did not dare to shout here as not to disturb Master Apothecary Xuanyi. He held his palm toward the gold-armored soldier.

The palm blew up and the surrounding trees and grass rustled with the gusty wind.

The Heavenly Stalwart Crush was the secret technique of the Stalwarts of the Heavenly Stars Sect and one of the few Tier Six martial arts techniques. It allowed the user to utilize strength several times their own. Along with Xi Yang’s strength of an Earthly Venerable Rank combatant, this palm was extremely powerful. He was not sure about the strength of the gold-armored soldier, so he did not dare to hold back.

“Take this!” The golden light in Ye Chen’s eyes shot out and the gold-armored soldier in the air wielded his longsword in a downward sweep. The gold-armored soldier was like a descending god, sending out a kind of might from the ancient vicissitudes of life. That attack also contained boundless power.

A strong pressure descended from above and Xi Yang felt his body sink as if something was firmly shackling him to the ground.

Xi Yang paled in horror. The gold-armored soldier had pressured him like a large mountain, making him unable to move!

‘What’s this thing? How is it so powerful?’ Xi Yang cried out in fear in his heart. The Celestial Chi in his body poured out into his Heavenly Stalwart Crush and met the gold-armored soldier’s sword.

Boom!

A loud noise rang out like the sky was falling. A huge pit of five to six meters long was blown on the ground.

In the deep pit, Xi Yang’s clothes were torn to shreds. His Tier One inner armor was split and his body was covered in fine wounds. Fresh blood dripped to the ground.

Xi Yang’s organs were severely damaged and there was barely any Celestial Chi left in his body.

Since Xi Yang’s advancement to Earthly Venerable Rank, he had never received such a heavy injury. What frightened him the most was that he did not know what that gold-armored soldier was!

Was Xi Yang going to die like this?

Xi Yang looked up in fear. The shadow of the gold-armored soldier still hung in the air. The woods were empty and the leaves chattered as the wind howled.

What was going on? Was Xi Yang dreaming? However, the pain from his body was incredibly real.

Run!

Without second thought, Xi Yang quickly took a medicinal pill and got up before running toward the lake.

After Ye Chen’s gold-armored soldier had attacked, his Astral Body also shook slightly and he quickly put away the gold-armored soldier. After all, Ye Chen’s Astral Body had just slightly solidified, so he still had to get used to such a fierce battle!

Ye Chen was very excited by the gold-armored soldier’s earlier attack. It was the first time he had truly seen the power of his Astral Body!

Sweeping his Astral Body toward the Xuan Pavilion, he had sensed three figures arriving hurriedly. It was the three Earthly Venerable Rank combatants by Master Apothecary Xuanyi’s side!

Ye Chen had to finish this battle as soon as possible. He got up and chased after Xi Yang.

Xi Yang ran like he was mad and his heart dropped to his stomach as he felt someone inching closer to him. Was he going to die today? Xi Yang was seriously injured. He had no dignity left being an Earthly Venerable Rank combatant.

The distance between Xi Yang and Ye Chen was closing with only about five meters left. Ye Chen’s right hand flicked and the Celestial Chi Flying Dagger materialized. With a thought, the Flying Dagger shot toward Xi Yang with a whoosh.

Xi Yang felt a terrifying aura behind him, penetrating his body and jolting his heart. As he looked back, he was shocked to see a white light shoot toward him. He hurriedly waved his sleeve and threw several caltrops at the white light. He raised his head in horror and saw Ye Chen’s face. “It’s you!”

In the Sunken Jade Tower, Xi Yang had seen Ye Chen’s face when the treasure had been stolen. Xi Yang remembered Ye Chen’s face in his mind and he had believed that if he met Ye Chen again, he would have to kill Ye Chen and take back the armguard. He had never thought that he would be plotted against Ye Chen here now!

Back then, Ye Chen was only a Tenth Level combatant!

Ye Chen shorted coldly. Back at the Sunken Jade Tower, if he had not been as smart, he would have been killed by the Thousand Year Ptomaine. They had finally met, so how would he allow Xi Yang to escape like this?
