Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

"He's actually using the Black Tiger Heaven-Destroying Seal?"

"It looks like Elder Chen is getting serious this time."

"If that kid can even take this move, Elder Chen probably won't have any way to deal with him."

The members of the Black Tiger Gang couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh softly.

But under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ye Chen's expression remained as serene as ever.

He glanced up indifferently at the massive hand seal floating above him, a trace of disdain showing in his eyes.

'This level of power is nothing compared to the fluctuations from my battle with the Cyan-faced Demon Monarch.'

But Chen Lie couldn't see through Ye Chen's thoughts. A smug look appeared on his face, as if he was immensely proud of this attack.

"Kid, if you can actually take this blow, I'll withdraw and concede defeat!"

Chen Lie spoke slowly, and with a flick of his finger, the massive hand seal plummeted from the sky like a meteorite, smashing down heavily toward Ye Chen!

Amidst a series of continuous gasps from the crowd, Ye Chen showed no reaction at all.

He merely extended his fingers, holding them together like a blade, and swiped once in Chen Lie's direction.

This time, he used his Sword Intent.

Sword Intent can be divided into five major levels: Entry, Minor Accomplishment, Major Accomplishment, Perfection, and Peak!

And Ye Chen's Sword Intent had long since reached the level of Minor Accomplishment.

Empowered by his Minor Accomplishment Sword Intent, the lethality of his sharp Sword Qi became powerful to an unimaginable degree!

SWOOSH!

In a mere instant, the majestic hand seal, shimmering with black light, was split in two by the Sword Qi!

It had been rapidly descending upon Ye Chen, but at that moment, it froze mid-air. Immediately after, it exploded with a BOOM, transforming into a surging aftershock that swept toward the clouds on the horizon.

The Sword Qi was incredibly fast. After slicing through the Black Tiger Heaven-Destroying Seal, it continued onward with undiminished momentum, arriving before Chen Lie once more!

Chen Lie's eyes flew wide open. He never imagined that his ultimate trump card would be shattered by a casual slash of Sword Qi from his opponent!

And now, the Sword Qi, still retaining its heart-pounding power, swept toward him.

An intense sense of crisis welled up in his heart. Although Chen Lie reacted quickly in the face of life and death, his hastily erected defense was riddled with openings and simply couldn't withstand the Sword Qi's terrifying power.

SWOOSH!

Chen Lie's body was also sliced through by the Sword Qi. The remaining Sword Qi shot straight up into the heavens.

A fine crack appeared on Chen Lie's forehead.

The crack spread down from the top of his head, across his nose, mouth, neck, and chest...

"Who... in the world... are you..."

Chen Lie used the last of his strength to slowly force out those faint words.

The next moment, his body split in two down the middle, becoming two halves of a mangled corpse. Scalding blood flooded the entire ground!

Chen Lie's aura was extinguished. He died on the spot!

With a casual blow, he had beaten Li Changhe half to death.

With another casual blow, he had severely wounded Tang Huagui.

Now, facing Chen Lie, Ye Chen had once again killed his opponent on the spot with a single, casual blow!

Such a shocking scene was deeply seared into the eyes of every spectator in the arena!

After a brief silence, a tremendous uproar, like a mountain torrent or a tsunami, erupted and filled the air!!!

"How is this possible..."

"Even an expert like Chen Lie was instantly killed by a single, casual blow?"

Hong Zhi's pupils shrank abruptly, his heart filled with horror.

'In that case, the fact that Li Changhe managed to keep his life is a blessing in disguise!'

The thought of how he had almost come to blows with that person in the martial arts arena earlier... A cold sweat trickled down Hong Zhi's back, and he was filled with lingering fear.

'I really walked through the gates of hell and back this time!'

In the Xuanfeng Manor's faction, Yu Chunshui's beautiful eyes were wide, as if she had just witnessed something unbelievable. Her full chest heaved up and down.

"This..." Beside her, Han Qinglu was also completely stunned this time.

Though she usually had a cold demeanor, she now couldn't help but cover her mouth with her fair hand, on the verge of crying out in shock!

'What kind of monster is this kid...'

On the high platform, Kunlun City's City Lord Nie Kun's face was grim, his heart in turmoil.

'I originally thought he was a genius nurtured by the Songyin Sword Mansion.'

'But looking at him now, how could such a monster possibly have any connection to the Songyin Sword Mansion?'

'No wonder Ji Yuanshan was the one who represented the Songyin Sword Mansion back then, and not this young man!'

It was no wonder that even Nie Kun, who was accustomed to the vicissitudes of the world, was so shocked.

After all, throughout the eastern part of the dynasty, or even the entire Great Hong Dynasty, it would be difficult to find such a peerless monster capable of defeating a Seventh Layer Primordial Mansion Realm expert while only at the Peak of the Spiritual Sea Realm, right?

And judging by the youth's expression and technique, it was all so relaxed and casual.

It was obvious that in this battle with Chen Lie, the mysterious young man clearly hadn't even used his full strength!

'If he were to use his full strength, just how terrifying would he be?'

Nie Kun hardly dared to think about it any further.

'I even feel that I might not be a match for this young man myself.'

Just as the entire arena was reeling in shock, suddenly, an furious roar echoed out.

"Move out! Surround the martial arts arena!"

Ling Yunting abruptly stood up. His hair and beard stood on end as his aura surged, and the terrifying pressure he exuded made even Nie Kun, who was standing beside him, feel immense strain!

At Ling Yunting's command, the Black Tiger Gang members beside him immediately moved, landing at various points around the martial arts arena and forming an encirclement around Ye Chen.

The positioning of the Black Tiger Gang members was nothing short of brilliant.

No matter which direction Ye Chen tried to break out from, he would have to face attacks from three different directions!

"What's going on?"

The crowd was stunned by this sudden turn of events, and they quickly broke into discussion.

"Elder Ling..."

Nie Kun wore a placating smile and was about to speak, but Ling Yunting cut him off.

"City Lord Nie, at a time like this, I hope you will stay out of it."

Ling Yunting clasped his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the tall, young figure in the arena, his eyes filled with biting killing intent.

"To think you'd dare kill an Elder of my Black Tiger Gang in public..."

"Do you really think I wouldn't dare to touch you?"

In his towering rage, Ling Yunting's aura was absolutely terrifying!

Everyone in the arena fell silent like cicadas in winter, their faces filled with fear.
