Chapter 138: Joining Forces
The Undying Demon Lord was clad in black Heavy Armor, his entire body overflowing with terrifying Evil Qi.
He looked at Saint Mother Jinglian and chuckled coldly. "What? Can't hold on any longer?"
"I was hoping to enjoy the show a little longer. You all just keep fighting."
"..." Saint Mother Jinglian frowned slightly, her tone laced with displeasure. "Have you failed to grasp the current situation?"
"If you continue to hold back, I'm afraid everyone here will fall at that brat's hands!"
"HAHAHAHA..." Hearing this, the Undying Demon Lord burst into loud laughter. "And what does that have to do with me?"
"My Demon Dao and your path have always been different; we don't scheme together. Why should I care if you live or die?"
"Besides, if you all die, isn't that a good thing? That way, no one will be left to compete with me for the treasures that boy is carrying."
The Undying Demon Lord's nonchalant words made Saint Mother Jinglian grind her teeth in anger.
A flush of fury crept across her noble and elegant face.
'Even now, the Undying Demon Lord still looks so brazenly confident.'
'What trump card does he have that makes him unafraid of Ye Chen?'
Saint Mother Jinglian grit her teeth. "Since you put it that way, we have no choice but to retreat."
"You can stay here and play with him."
Hearing this, the Undying Demon Lord's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but snort coldly.
"He's just some wet-behind-the-ears brat who hasn't even broken through to the Primordial Mansion Realm, yet he's managed to throw you all into chaos..."
"I'm so very disappointed in you all."
The Undying Demon Lord's voice was low, his eyes filled with thick disdain.
He had deliberately held back before, intending to let Ye Chen and the others wear each other down. Then, at the end, he would swoop in and reap the rewards!
But to his surprise, the battle had become completely one-sided!
Even when these people joined forces, they were no match for Ye Chen!
After Saint Mother Jinglian rescued Ling Qianxiao, Ye Chen didn't stand idle.
His thinking was simple.
He would kill as many as he could!
First, he'd wipe out these hindrances before him, then he'd deal with the tougher opponents!
As Ye Chen joined the fray, the experts who had been pinned down by the Heaven-Devouring Earth-Swallowing Array were immediately met with disaster.
With a flash, Ye Chen appeared directly behind an expert at the Sixth Layer of the Primordial Mansion Realm!
The expert had just been wounded by an attack from the Heaven-Devouring Earth-Swallowing Array and hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath when Ye Chen threw a punch at his head!
"BOOM!"
With a massive bang, the expert's head exploded like a watermelon, splattering blood everywhere!
"It's Ye Chen!"
"Quick! Take him down!"
"If we kill him, this array will no longer be a threat!"
Seeing Ye Chen make his move, the other experts swarmed forward, intending to suppress him.
But Ye Chen simply drew his Cangming Sword. A sharp slash of Sword Qi soared into the air like an azure dragon bursting from the sea!
Before the crowd of experts could even react, their heads hit the ground, and their lives were extinguished!
The Heaven-Devouring Earth-Swallowing Array began to spin madly. Plumes of blood mist erupted from within as expert after expert fell beneath the terrifying killing formation!
And Ye Chen only grew stronger with every battle. No matter who tried to stop him, they seemed to become nothing more than stepping stones, posing no threat to him at all.
Saint Mother Jinglian turned and looked at Ling Qianxiao.
Deep terror still lingered in Ling Qianxiao's eyes; he had just had a true brush with death!
If Saint Mother Jinglian hadn't intervened in time, he would have already fallen to Ye Chen!
"This boy is too strange. We cannot fight him head-on!"
"We must evacuate the Dragon Prison Cave as soon as possible!"
Saint Mother Jinglian ordered coldly.
She was about to lead Feihong Academy out of the chaotic battle.
However, the Undying Demon Lord stopped her.
"Hold on."
"What is it?" Saint Mother Jinglian turned her head, her expression icy.
"How about you and I attack together?" the Undying Demon Lord said flatly. "We are both at the Peak of the Primordial Mansion Realm, the strongest experts here."
"If we join forces, subduing this brat should be easy!"
"Hmph!" Saint Mother Jinglian snorted. "You should have come to this conclusion long ago."
The Undying Demon Lord had been unwilling to act, waiting for them to slaughter each other. How could she be willing to do all the hard work just for him to benefit?
The wisest choice was, of course, to retreat immediately.
Similarly, when the Undying Demon Lord saw that Saint Mother Jinglian was about to leave, he was unwilling to accept it. He didn't want to fight Ye Chen to the death only to have someone else reap the benefits for nothing.
So, he had no choice but to cooperate with Saint Mother Jinglian.
Of the major factions present, most had already retreated from the Dragon Prison Cave.
Those who remained were the ones with grievances against Ye Chen, and most of them were either dead or injured.
Ye Chen was like a cold, cruel executioner, ruthlessly reaping their lives.
But just then, two powerful auras suddenly locked firmly onto Ye Chen.
Ye Chen obliterated an expert from the Xu family with a single punch, turning around nonchalantly with a cold smile. "So, you finally couldn't sit still any longer?"
"Brat, you've been showing off for long enough. It's time for this to end."
The Undying Demon Lord strode forward, his Heavy Armor clanging powerfully with each step.
Several Cyan Lotuses swirled around Saint Mother Jinglian, each one emitting a soft, verdant glow.
She stood atop a Cyan Lotus, her figure floating in the air. The slit in her skirt offered a captivating glimpse of snowy white skin, making it impossible to look away!
"Audacious fiend!"
"You are utterly lawless, having slaughtered so many! Today, I shall deliver judgment upon you right here!"
Saint Mother Jinglian's voice was clear and cold, her expression noble and sacred.
"How utterly ridiculous!"
Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but let out a cynical laugh. He said coldly, "An esteemed mentor from the great Feihong Academy, vowing to lead her disciples to slay demons and defend the righteous path, ends up joining forces with a Demon Cultivator. How ironic."
Saint Mother Jinglian's expression changed slightly.
"Say no more!"
"This is merely a temporary, desperate measure!"
"Enough!" Just then, the Undying Demon Lord interrupted impatiently. "What's the point of wasting so much breath on him!"
"There are too many strange things about this Dragon Prison Cave. Let's just take this brat down, force the secrets of this place out of him, and stop wasting time!"
At this point, under Ye Chen's slaughter, very few experts were left standing.
The only ones who had escaped the carnage were the forces from Cyan Rainbow Hall.
They watched the massacre before them, powerless and afraid to intervene.
This was especially true for their leader, Song Yubing. After witnessing Ye Chen's terrifying strength, which was enough to overwhelm all the heroes present, her heart was filled with an indescribable complexity, and a sour feeling washed over her.
"Miss, we should leave this place at once!"
"The battle here is no longer something we can get involved in!"
