After entering the first layer of the Heavenly God Mountain's Great World, Hua Xuelian had separated from Ye Chen.
Hua Xuelian never thought he would encounter Ye Chen here.
Thinking of Ye Chen as one of the formidable figures on the "Heavenly God List," ranking just below him, Hua Xuelian's heart lifted with delight.
If Ye Chen had made a breakthrough, then perhaps there was indeed a chance he could help him and the Divine Kings of the Qianjue Divine Kingdom escape their crisis.
However, after Hua Xuelian probed Ye Chen's aura, his expression instantly changed.
He discovered that Ye Chen remained at the Lower God King Realm he had first encountered him in, without the slightest hint of a breakthrough.
Ye Chen's previous ranking on the "Heavenly God List" was already below his; now, without advancing in realm, the seven elite Purple Light Assassins that even he couldn't contend with were evidently beyond Ye Chen's ability to handle.
Hua Xuelian's heart was consud with anxiety—he hadn't waited for a savior but instead might drag Ye Chen into calamity!
Thinking of this, Hua Xuelian dared not hesitate any longer. Without considering why Ye Chen had appeared here, he hastily shouted toward him, "Ye Chen, run! There are seven formidable Upper Heavenly Divine Venerable-level Purple Light Assassins behind us, we can't fight them. If we don't flee now, it will be the end of us!"
While shouting at Ye Chen, Hua Xuelian led the fleeing Divine Kings of the Qianjue Divine Kingdom in Ye Chen's direction.
At this mont, the countless Divine Kings of the Qianjue Divine Kingdom also noticed that Ye Chen's realm hadn't advanced, and each couldn't help but show a bitter smile.
They realized they hadn't waited for a powerful rescuer.
While Ye Chen was strong, he still couldn't save them.
The Divine Kings of the Qianjue Divine Kingdom were flying desperately.
Ye Chen gazed at the fleeing Hua Xuelian and the thirty-five Divine Kings of the Qianjue Divine Kingdom, then at the seven Purple Light Assassins chasing them. He was montarily stunned.
"What a coincidence: I leave the 'Abandoned Land,' get transmitted back to the first layer of the Heavenly God Mountain's Great World, and actually run into Hua Xuelian and his group?"
"Are they being hunted down?"
"Seven Purple Light Assassins, huh? If even Hua Xuelian is fleeing from them, these individuals must rank among the strongest of the Purple Light Assassins."
Despite having just left the 'Abandoned Land' and appearing amidst this boundless sea domain, Ye Chen's mind swiftly grasped the situation.
However, Ye Chen did not follow Hua Xuelian's urgent appeal nor join the fleeing mbers of the Qianjue Divine Kingdom. Instead, he continued standing in the void.
In an instant.
Hua Xuelian and the thirty-six others reached Ye Chen's side.
Seeing that Ye Chen hadn't fled, Hua Xuelian hurriedly grabbed Ye Chen by the arm. "Ye Chen, run quickly!"
But Ye Chen simply waved him off with a smile. "No need to panic, Hua Daoist."
With those words, Ye Chen turned his gaze directly toward the seven Purple Light Assassins.
Ye Chen's calm deanor left Hua Xuelian stunned. He hesitated, unconsciously halting beside Ye Chen. The thirty-five Divine Kings of the Qianjue Divine Kingdom also couldn't understand his composure.
Could it be that Ye Chen feared nothing, not even these seven Purple Light Assassins?
Or had he simply been scared senseless?
But judging by his serene smile, he didn't seem frightened at all.
While the Divine Kings of Qianjue stood beside Ye Chen, the seven Purple Light Assassins had closed in as well, stopping at a distance of several hundred ters from Ye Chen.
The leader of these Assassins, a black-bearded man known as Boss Yao, squinted his eyes and stared at Ye Chen.
Seeing Ye Chen as only a Lower God King, coupled with hearing Hua Xuelian call his na, Boss Yao's eyes glead as he spoke toward Ye Chen, "So, you must be Ye Chen, ranked fourth on the 'Heavenly God List'?"
"To reach fourth place while still at the Lower God King Realm—impressive. But you're unlucky to cross paths with us today. Hand over your treasures obediently, and we'll leave you a whole corpse."
"Being suddenly transmitted into this sea domain, it appears you've just exited so secret realm. I'm sure your body carries so fine goods."
As he spoke, Boss Yao licked his lips greedily.
He had allowed Hua Xuelian's group to flee earlier just to encounter more challengers. Now that Ye Chen had appeared, they would take care of him first, snatch his treasures, and then move on to their next victim!
As Boss Yao spoke, the remaining six Purple Light Assassins laughed oddly and surrounded Ye Chen.
One of them, a scar-faced Assassin, sneered at Ye Chen, "Little brat, we let them escape but made no promise to spare whoever showed up after them. 'Heavenly God List' fourth place? We've slain plenty of challengers, but never soone ranked in the top. This should be fun."
As killers of the Domain of Sin, infamous for their countless murders, they obviously spared Ye Chen no rcy.
Seeing these seven deadly Assassins targeting Ye Chen, the Divine Kings of the Qianjue Divine Kingdom were in shock.
Hua Xuelian's heart sank even further.
Yet after hesitating for a few monts, he still stood firmly by Ye Chen's side.
"Hua Senior Brother?"
"Hua Senior Brother!"
The Divine Kings of the Qianjue Divine Kingdom, who had considered fleeing further, were now dissuaded by Hua Xuelian's stance. Instead, they dared not retreat.
After all, without Hua Xuelian leading them, fleeing would still lead to death.
So Divine Kings even secretly blad Ye Chen for not escaping with them.
Was he planning to drag them into death as well?
Seeing Hua Xuelian's stance, Boss Yao chuckled coldly. "What's this? You want to stand and fight alongside Ye Chen?"
"Ha! You were already defeated by us before. Now you dare challenge us again? If you're not running away, leave your life here!"
With that, Boss Yao waved his hand and instructed two Assassins, "Bai Lin, Bai Shang, you two, kill them."
Responding instantly, the scar-faced Assassin and a bald-headed Assassin stepped forward.
The two sneered as they cracked their knuckles. "Two little fellows, ti to die!"
Feeling the overwhelming aura emitted by the duo—much stronger than the previous Assassins he had faced—Hua Xuelian's heart tightened. He called out to Ye Chen in alarm, "Ye Chen, be careful!"
At this mont, Hua Xuelian heard Ye Chen's calm voice, "Hua Daoist, I still need to kill three Purple Light Assassins to complete my mission in the first layer of the Heavenly God Mountain's Great World. These two, don't take them from ."
"I'll handle them myself."
With those words, Ye Chen stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Hua Xuelian.
What?
Hua Xuelian was dumbfounded by Ye Chen's declaration.
These two Assassins, whom even Hua Xuelian and Ye Chen together stood no chance against, were now being claid by Ye Chen to fight alone? Had Ye Chen lost his sanity?
Hua Xuelian had stepped in to stall for ti, intending to make Ye Chen recognize the futility of fighting back so they could flee together.
He had never considered actually engaging in combat!
The Divine Kings of the Qianjue Divine Kingdom, watching from a distance, were similarly stunned by Ye Chen's bold words.
anwhile, Bai Lin and Bai Shang—the two Purple Light Assassins—laughed loudly at the remark. "Ha! This brat has gone mad!"
"He thinks his rank of fourth on the 'Heavenly God List' makes him untouchable? Even the first-ranked would not dare spout nonsense in front of us!"
They were about to mock him further when Ye Chen interrupted, "Quiet. I'll give you ten seconds to leave your last words."
Last words?
As elite Purple Light Assassins, Bai Lin and Bai Shang had slain countless mighty figures. Never before had they suffered such insolence.
They were enraged beyond asure by Ye Chen's words!
"Brat, we initially only planned to kill you. Now, we'll make sure to dismber you completely!"
"Let's see who gets spared to leave last words!"
Boom! Boom!
In an instant, Bai Lin and Bai Shang erupted with overwhelming auras.
Their power levels, nearly at that of the Immortal Divine Venerable Realm, marked them as peak existences within the Upper Heavenly Divine Venerable tier!
Without pause, Bai Lin and Bai Shang ignored Hua Xuelian entirely and lunged toward Ye Chen.
They intended to destroy Ye Chen utterly!
Seeing Bai Lin and Bai Shang closing in on Ye Chen, the thirty-five Divine Kings of the Qianjue Divine Kingdom trembled in terror before their terrifying aura.
Even Hua Xuelian involuntarily staggered backward under the oppressive pressure.
In this dire mont, as the Divine Kings of Qianjue were paralyzed with fear, Ye Chen faced Bai Lin and Bai Shang's joint attack without the slightest intention to retreat.
Instead, he stepped forward through the void, his right hand assuming the motion of grasping an invisible sword.
"The first stance of the Origin Slash."
Ye Chen's quiet voice echoed.
At that instant, all eyes witnessed a pale golden Divine Sword manifest in Ye Chen's hand before unleashing a sky-piercing sword beam.
The beam burst forth in a flash, slashing wildly toward Bai Lin and Bai Shang.
Then, a mont that would utterly astonish everyone present unfolded.
The two elite Purple Light Assassins—one step away from the Immortal Divine Venerable Realm, peak entities among the Upper Heavenly Divine Venerable tier—failed to even reach Ye Chen.
Instead, Ye Chen's single sword beam directly split Bai Lin and Bai Shang into halves!
Instantaneously, their life force dissipated, and their lifeless corpses plumted into the ocean below.
What?!
Nobody could have imagined that Ye Chen's seemingly effortless strike would wield such imnse power!
What was even more terrifying:
The residual energy from Ye Chen's sword beam nearly obliterated another nearby Assassin, who was watching and waiting with amusent.
Had it not been for his swift reaction to dodge in the nick of ti, he might have perished alongside Bai Lin and Bai Shang!
