Chapter 580 - 576: One Sword
"Ha! Trash, if we had known earlier that you were alone, we wouldn't have spent so many Spirit Stones to hire Blood Cloud Tower's assassins to kill you. I could have killed you with just a finger, you piece of trash." In the canyon, Tuoba Zhen raised his head arrogantly, his gaze filled with disdain as he stared at Ye Chen, as if he were looking at an ant that could be crushed at will.
According to the intelligence he controlled, Ye Chen's cultivation had only reached the Divine Mansion Realm four months ago.
No matter how high his Body Refining Talent was, how much could he have improved in four months?
Without Zhu'er and Xu Yan's protection, this trash wouldn't stand a chance.
Not to mention the assassins from Blood Cloud Tower, even he, a steward of the Tuoba Family, could easily crush Ye Chen.
Unfortunately, they had already spent so many Spirit Stones to hire the assassins from Blood Cloud Tower, and there was no way to back out now.
Otherwise, if they infuriated the higher-ups of Blood Cloud Tower, it would be beyond what the Tuoba Family could bear.
"Tuoba Zhen, are you sure you want to kill this ant yourself? Let me remind you, even if you do it yourself, you won't get your Spirit Stones back." The white-haired elder said expressionlessly.
"Of course I know that, so it's better for you to take care of this trash." Tuoba Zhen hurriedly replied.
After all, they had spent over a billion Ordinary Spirit Stones just to hire Blood Cloud Tower's assassins to get rid of Ye Chen.
To the Tuoba Family, this was undoubtedly an immense fortune.
So, if he personally killed Ye Chen, wouldn't all those Spirit Stones be in vain?
Furthermore, letting the assassins from Blood Cloud Tower handle Ye Chen, even if it infuriates the higher-ups at Overlord Body Peak, they wouldn't have any evidence to link it to the Tuoba Family.
This way, they could avoid a lot of trouble.
"Elder Bai, this kind of trash doesn't deserve your attention. Let me go and crush him." At this moment, the golden-robed youth beside the white-haired elder suddenly sneered coldly, his expression full of disdain, looking at Ye Chen as if he were a lamb to be slaughtered.
If Ye Chen had Zhu'er and Xu Yan's protection, it would take some effort to assassinate him.
After all, his strength wasn't greater than Xu Yan's; he was just exceptionally skilled in assassination.
But now, Ye Chen was alone, and he didn't need any assassination techniques to easily crush Ye Chen.
"Mm! Make it clean, don't leave any traces." The white-haired elder said with indifference, not even bothering to look at Ye Chen again.
"Understood." The golden-robed youth's lips curled into a cruel smile, his figure flashing, disappearing from where he stood.
Swoosh!
In the blink of an eye, his figure appeared ten meters away from Ye Chen, holding a pitch-black dagger, stabbing fiercely toward Ye Chen.
There's no denying, this golden-robed youth was indeed powerful; not only had he reached the Peak of Divine Mansion Realm, but he also possessed five times the Qi Sea Foundation.
Even among the true disciples of Azure Sky Immortal Sect, his strength was notable.
Especially in speed, he was not weaker than the genius Lei Dong of Thunder Prison Immortal Sect.
No wonder, hiring them to kill required spending so many Spirit Stones.
"Trash, die for me." The golden-robed youth's expression turned vicious, a terrifying murderous intent flickering in his eyes, and the dagger in his hand reached Ye Chen's face in an instant.
This dagger didn't just hold the force of approximately eight hundred thousand tigers, it also carried a dreadful poison.
Even if Xu Yan was stabbed, he would be at risk of death.
This was why the golden-robed youth almost managed to kill a strong combatant at the threshold of the Profound Pill Realm.
Unfortunately, he encountered Ye Chen.
"With your meager strength, you think you can kill me? Who gave you the courage?" Just as the dagger was about to stab Ye Chen, his body vanished from where he stood, leaving behind only a voice as cold as ice, sending shivers down one's spine.
"What? His speed is better than mine?" The golden-robed youth's pupils contracted sharply, even the fine hairs on his body standing on end.
At that moment, an overwhelmingly ominous feeling surged through his heart.
This was the intuition of a top-notch assassin.
"Die." Just as chills ran down the gold-robed youth's spine, Ye Chen's body appeared behind him, wielding the Golden Autumn Sword and slicing toward his head.
At that moment, Ye Chen executed the Third Layer of Heaven-Sundering True Intent, unleashing nearly nine hundred tigers worth of combat power, beyond what the golden-robed youth could withstand.
"No!" The golden-robed youth's expression turned to utter horror, instinctively trying to activate his Bloodline Power.
But it was all too late.
Ye Chen's Golden Autumn Sword instantly shattered the protective magical power around the youth, cleaving his head clean off, with blood gushing from his neck like a fountain, creating a gruesome scene.
The youth in the blue robe died with eyes wide open, filled with fear and regret.
If he had known earlier how strong Ye Chen was, he should have used his Bloodline Power from the start.
With that, even if Ye Chen could unleash nine million tigers worth of power, he would have a way to kill Ye Chen.
Alas, it was too late for regret.
Blame it on his arrogance.
"No, it's impossible. How can this trash be so powerful?" Tuoba Zhen's expression froze instantly, as if struck by Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, unable to believe his eyes.
Remember, Ye Chen's cultivation had just reached the Divine Mansion Realm four months ago.
And just now, he exhibited a cultivation level at the Divine Mansion Realm Sixth Layer.
That means this trash had jumped five realms in just four months—utterly shocking!
Even more terrifying, Ye Chen mastered a tremendously formidable swordsmanship, unleashing nine million tigers of power, instantly killing the assassin from Blood Cloud Tower.
This had completely overturned Tuoba Zhen's imagination.
"What? This trash killed Cong Fei in one move." Even the Divine Soul Master from Blood Cloud Tower stood frozen in place, face pale as a corpse.
He originally thought with Cong Fei's strength, he could easily crush Ye Chen.
Yet, the outcome was nothing like he had imagined.
