Supreme Lord of Towers

The Black Rhinoceros Great Demon had long learned from other Outer Realm Demon Race about how Ye Chen had slain five Demon Race commanders.

Even more than half of the Outer Realm Demon Race in this gorge had fallen at Ye Chen's hands.

How could this not anger him?

If he had known earlier that such a powerful figure as Ye Chen was hidden within this gorge, he would have never chased after Hua Qianxue.

Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now.

Only by crushing Ye Chen, this ant, could he vent the hatred in his heart!

"Master, what this guy says isn't entirely wrong. The more Outer Realm Demon Race you kill, the more you'll be targeted by Demon Race powerhouses. If something goes wrong, you could even be obliterated both body and soul. This is the price you pay for collecting Evolutionary Power," the Tower Spirit couldn't help but sigh.

In this world, opportunities and risks are always present.

Even though Ye Chen seemed to kill so many Outer Realm Demon Race with ease and gained many benefits.

The price he had to pay was being hunted by that Black Rhinoceros Great Demon.

The Demon Race powerhouses would never allow a human to casually kill so many of their kind.

"When soldiers come, I will counter with generals; when water arrives, I will use earth to hold it back. Since I dared to kill so many Demon Race, I'm not afraid of the powerhouses' revenge," Ye Chen said with a cold smile, not regretting his decision at all.

After all, before he killed them, those Outer Realm Demon Race had been slaughtering humans everywhere.

Countless innocent members of the Human Race had met a tragic end under their claws.

If Ye Chen refrained from moving against them because of fear of the Demon Race powerhouses' revenge, it would truly be spineless.

Even Ye Chen himself would look down on his own cowardice.

"Master, don't worry. Even though that Black Rhinoceros Great Demon is formidable, killing you won't be so easy. As long as you hold on until reinforcements arrive, you'll be safe," the Tower Spirit reassured.

Although Ye Chen's combat strength was still far inferior to that of the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon.

But he had cultivated the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body to the Third Level of Vajra Realm, significantly enhancing his survival ability.

Even for that Black Rhinoceros Great Demon, it would be difficult to kill him completely.

"It's better to rely on oneself rather than count on others. Instead of placing hope on others, it's better to depend on oneself," a sharp light shot out from Ye Chen's eyes.

In the Celestial Cry Mountain Range, besides Human Race cultivators in the Divine Mansion Realm, there were also a small number of Profound Pill Realm existences.

The Azure Sky Immortal Sect had sent several Saint Sons here to hunt demon races.

However, Ye Chen did not pin his hopes on these Saint Sons.

Firstly, the region of the Celestial Cry Mountain Range was vast, and the chances of encountering those Saint Sons in the outer areas were slim.

Secondly, even if he did miraculously meet them, they might not save him.

For instance, the Overlord Body Peak's Saint Son, Tuoba You, would love to eliminate him.

Therefore, Ye Chen felt it was more reliable to rely on himself.

"I still have a few trump cards unused. If truly cornered, I'd make sure he pays a painful price," Ye Chen said coldly, pushing his speed to the limit, continuing his rapid flight into the depths of the Celestial Cry Mountain Range.

"Hmph! Truly a dying struggle. When I catch up to you, I'll ensure you die in fear and despair, you cursed ant," the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon's blood-red eyes flashed with terrifying killing intent, enough to make anyone shiver involuntarily.

Buzz!

The next moment, bizarre black demon patterns suddenly surfaced above his body, abruptly boosting his speed.

In the blink of an eye, the distance between him and Ye Chen shrank to less than nine hundred yards.

"Ha! Senior Sister Lu, this waste is truly foolish, actually slaughtering so many Outer Realm Demon Race. Does he really think they are so easy to kill?" At this moment, in a corner of the gorge, Lin Xi couldn't help but sneer, a thick sense of mockery on her lips.

As the saying goes, the tree that stands out gets destroyed by the wind.

The more monstrously Ye Chen behaved, the more he'd be targeted by the Demon Race powerhouses.

Yet this fool, not understanding this simple truth, had slaughtered more than half of the Outer Realm Demon Race in the gorge.

Did he really think those great demons were just for show?

"Hmph! This is what you call bringing about your own doom. Still, we should thank this fool. If he hadn't drawn away that Black Rhinoceros Great Demon, we would've been in danger," Lu Xuan said mockingly, with a gleeful tone.

Indeed!

This time, their mission in the Celestial Cry Mountain Range was to execute the demon-slaying task.

However, they only needed to slay some Outer Realm Demon Race to satisfy the Human King Hall.

If they killed too many Demon Race, they'd surely incur the wrath of the powerhouses.

Yet Ye Chen, this fool, lacked even this basic self-awareness. Utterly foolish.

"Quick, while that Black Rhinoceros Great Demon is hunting Ye Chen, let's leave this gorge. Otherwise, if he returns after killing Ye Chen, we won't be able to escape."

"Alas! Such a pity for Ye Chen's heaven-defying martial arts talent. If it were any of ours, we'd make much better use of it than him." Watching Ye Chen's disappearing figure, numerous Human Race cultivators shook their heads in lamentation.

To them, Ye Chen's death seemed inevitable.

Even if he used the Black and White Sword Array to display combat strength at the threshold of a Profound Pill True Man, he'd still be no match for the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon.

The only thing they regretted was Ye Chen's heaven-defying martial arts talent.

Such talent, even when placed among the Five Great Sacred Lands, would be considered exceedingly powerful.

But now, it was going to vanish along with Ye Chen.

What a waste.

Whizz, whizz, whizz.

The next moment, numerous Human Race cultivators hurriedly flew out of the gorge, not daring to linger another moment.

After all, that Black Rhinoceros Great Demon could return any moment.

"Fairy Zhu'er, we should also leave now. I believe Junior Brother Ye Chen is blessed and protected by fate," deep within the gorge, Xu Yan couldn't help but comfort Zhu'er.

In fact, he too thought Ye Chen was most likely doomed.

However, he couldn't possibly stay here and become a companion in death with Ye Chen just because Ye Chen was about to be killed by the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon.

With his talent, as long as he continued his cultivation, he would surely become a Profound Pill True Man.

By then, he could avenge Ye Chen.

"Miss, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let Ye Chen undertake this demon-slaying mission. Now I can't face you at all." Zhu'er was filled with deep self-reproach, looking utterly disheartened.

If she had known that Ye Chen would encounter the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon in the Celestial Cry Mountain Range, she would never have let Ye Chen take such a risk.

Alas, there's no such thing as 'if only.'
