Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

The great battle outside had finally concluded. As Chen Lie fled, wounded, the terrifying might of the Primordial Mansion Realm slowly dissipated. Quiet returned, leaving only the pitter-patter of the incessant rain.

It was clear to everyone that in this battle, Chen Lie, the Elder from the Black Tiger Gang, had been defeated!

"That heroic lady actually won?!"

Yu Xiaoran was shocked for a moment before becoming thrilled.

The members of the Black Tiger Gang were far too dangerous, especially a vicious and ruthless man like Chen Lie.

With so many of his disciples by his side, he naturally wanted to avoid any unnecessary contact with Chen Lie.

"This is great! The Elder from the Black Tiger Gang lost!"

Behind Yu Xiaoran, several disciples were also filled with joyous surprise, and each breathed a sigh of relief.

But in their hearts, they were still a little resentful.

'If the Black Tiger Gang had won, we might have seen that arrogant guy kneeling and begging for his life, right?'

"Elder Chen... lost?!"

The faces of Li Kuang and the others fell.

'Chen Lie actually abandoned us and fled all by himself.'

'He must have suffered some serious injuries!'

The thought of facing that Seventh Layer Primordial Mansion Realm swordswoman made their hearts tremble, and they hurriedly turned to flee.

But just at that moment, Song Yubing swept in, her expression ice-cold.

"To think that scoundrel managed to get away!"

Her face was simmering with anger, her killing intent chilling.

"As for you lot... not a single one of you will escape!"

The moment she finished speaking, a dazzling flash of sword light flared in the night sky before vanishing.

That resplendent sword light, bright as a rainbow, nearly lit up the entire night sky.

"NO!!!"

Li Kuang and the others instantly felt a terrifying killing intent wash over them. A chill shot through their bodies, and their faces filled with terror!

Despite their desperate situation, they used every trick up their sleeves, trying to fight for the slimmest chance of survival.

But against such an immense gap in power, their struggles were utterly futile.

In the end, the remaining members of the Black Tiger Gang all fell, slain by a single stroke of Song Yubing's sword!

Ye Chen, watching from the side, nodded to himself in approval of her merciless killing technique.

'This Song Yubing... when she faces evil men, her strikes are far more ruthless. She doesn't hesitate in the slightest.'

"I'm sorry. I let that villain escape."

Song Yubing returned to the temple, her clothes still neat, with only a light sheen of sweat on her forehead.

Clearly, she hadn't felt much pressure during the previous battle.

As the successor of a major power, she had a much easier time fighting a Cultivator of the same realm like Chen Lie.

Looking at Ye Chen, Song Yubing couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

'I originally thought I'd defeat Chen Lie cleanly and swiftly. I never expected the fight to drag on for so long, and I even let him escape in the end.'

However, Ye Chen simply shook his head. "It's fine. What you did was more than enough."

'He was actually a little disappointed. If he had been the one to act, Chen Lie wouldn't have been able to withstand a single blow.'

'But this was all to hone Song Yubing's killer instinct. As long as it had an effect, that was enough.'

'This guy... he sure is shameless!'

On Yu Xiaoran's side, everyone shook their heads, growing more and more displeased with Ye Chen's attitude.

'That heroic lady was just being modest, but he latched onto it and started critiquing her!'

'If that kid had been the one fighting, he'd probably have been so scared by Chen Lie that he'd be on his knees, begging for mercy and pissing himself, wouldn't he?'

Ye Chen couldn't care less about the strange looks from the others. He continued chatting with Song Yubing for a bit, even offering her some pointers on her Sword Skills.

With his mastery at the minor completion stage of Sword Intent, it was a simple matter for him to give Song Yubing pointers.

Song Yubing listened with rapt attention, her expression one of complete focus. Whenever he reached a crucial point, she would nod repeatedly, a look of amazement on her face.

This scene, of course, once again made the expressions of Yu Xiaoran and his group turn strange.

'A Spirit Sea Realm Cultivator, giving pointers to someone in the Primordial Mansion Realm?!'

'That has to be the most ridiculous thing in the world.'

'If word of this got out, wouldn't everyone laugh their heads off?'

Just then, Ye Chen's gaze swept over them, sharp as a blade.

'Since the external threat is gone, it's time to deal with the internal one.'

Meeting Ye Chen's gaze, even Yu Xiaoran couldn't help but feel his heart tremble.

This surprised and confused him.

Ye Chen spoke coolly, "You two specters, how much longer do you intend to hide?"

His words struck like a thunderclap, causing the expressions of everyone present to change dramatically.

"Specters?"

"What are you talking about? What specters?"

The blue-robed youth cried out in shock and anger. For some reason, he felt completely uneasy under Ye Chen's gaze.

"The reason you two approached me before was because you sensed my vitality, wasn't it?" Ye Chen said coolly.

It was just like how the Heart-Stealing Old Demon and the Three Corpses Reverend had viewed Ye Chen as a delectable feast.

The reason that pair of demonic beings had proactively approached him earlier was, of course, the very same!

Under the shocked and uncertain gazes of the crowd, the little sisters Chuxue and Chuyu, as delicate as porcelain dolls, stared with their big, watery eyes. Looking at Ye Chen with feigned confusion, they asked, "Big brother, what do you mean by that?"

"Yeah, yeah, what are you talking about? We don't understand."

"Specters?" Even Song Yubing looked over, her face a mask of shock.

'As a Seventh Layer Primordial Mansion Realm Cultivator, my senses are incredibly sharp. Yet I didn't sense anything strange about these two sisters at all.'

She was secretly alarmed. 'If Ye Chen wasn't here, every single one of us would have been kept in the dark!'

"Still playing dumb with me?"

A glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. He suddenly formed a blade with his fingers and slashed towards Chuxue and Chuyu.

A sharp Sword Qi instantly tore through the air, arriving in a flash!

"You dare!"

Seeing Ye Chen dare to attack his own disciples, Yu Xiaoran was instantly filled with shock and fury.

'He never imagined that the youth before him would be so unreasonable, attacking someone out of the blue for no reason!'

"Kid, you're too arrogant!!!"

Yu Xiaoran struck out with his palm in a rage. His Primordial Mansion Realm cultivation flared, and the immense pressure made his disciples' faces turn pale. They all scrambled to the side, looking as if they couldn't breathe.

He could no longer care about the consequences.

'As their master, how could he just stand by and watch his disciples be bullied?'

'Even knowing the other party had a Seventh Layer Primordial Mansion Realm heroine on their side, Ye Chen's actions were simply too disrespectful, too outrageous.'

'He no longer cared if this furious palm strike injured his opponent!'

However, what Yu Xiaoran could never have imagined was that...

His vast Palm Force surged forth like a monstrous wave, instantly submerging the flimsy-looking strand of Sword Qi.

But in the blink of an eye, the vast Palm Force crumbled and disintegrated!

Its momentum undiminished, the Sword Qi continued to sweep toward Chuyu and Chuxue, directly severing the two little sisters' heads from their necks.
