Chapter 196: That Sword!
“You finally appeared . Let’s see where you can run to this time!” Dongmen Yingyang snorted coldly . He thought that Ye Chen was trapped by the flames and could not leave .

“Heh, let’s have a rematch!” Ye Chen watched Dongmen Yingyang and shouted lowly . His Astral Body emerged and the gold-armored soldier was formed again . This time, there were some changes with the gold-armored soldier . Faint purple light shone on the shining gold armor and the purple fire on his long sword was stronger . The purple fire also blazed behind his eyes .
Currently, the gold-armored soldier’s strength was only slightly inferior to peak Heavenly Venerable Rank .
Little Tanuki once again merged her Astral Body with the gold-armored soldier . The white fire burned and the purple fire grew stronger . The strength of the gold-armored soldier rose sharply again, reaching peak Heavenly Venerable Rank .
Roar!
The gold-armored soldier let out a deafening roar . He waved his longsword toward Dongmen Yingyang and swung down!
Although Dongmen Yingyang vaguely felt that there was something odd with the gold-armored soldier now compared to before, he would never have thought that Ye Chen’s strength would increase again in such a short period . In his imagination, Ye Chen’s injury would not even be healed after such a short time . How strong would he be?
Overlord’s Heel of Ruin!
Dongmen Yingyang’s right leg smashed down like a meteor . Sharp Metal-type Celestial Chi split the air and crackled with the friction .
This leg contained all the Celestial Chi of a peak Heavenly Venerable One . It was absolutely tyrannical!
The gold-armored soldier raised its head, making no move to avoid the attack, and swung his sword at Dongmen Yingyang . The sword was integrated with Heavenly King Rupturing the Sun and in an instant, the gold-armored soldier turned into a purple ball of light, just like a purple sun, exuding its radiance . The tip of the sword also contained infinite profoundness .
At that moment, Ye Chen’s eyes suddenly reflected the pattern of the Nine Astra . The Heavenly Astra Seal in his left palm also seemed to come alive and mysterious runes hovered around Ye Chen’s body . On his shoulder, Little Tanuki also emitted rich white light .
This sword was as if it could cut open space!
Ye Chen felt as if he were in an astral world, empty, boundless, and vast .
This sword contained endless insight into the Dao .

The gold-armored soldier roared as he flew like a purple meteor dragging a long tail and swung his sword .
Boom!
The sound of the air blast seemed to shatter everyone’s eardrums .
The terrifying force was released from the tip of the sword, impacting Dongmen Yingyang’s Overlord Splits the Mountains . Astral Body and Metal-type Celestial Chi collided like a missile explosion, sending gusts of violent wind to blow instantly .
A figure flew backward like a kite with its string cut . It flew tens of meters before falling into the bushes .
After the terrifying blast of air had settled, the gold-armored soldier remained proudly standing in the air . Clutching the longsword, he carried an aura of indescribable sacredness .
Standing behind the gold-armored soldier, Ye Chen and Little Tanuki were not affected by the impact of the wind . It was just like a gust of air blowing . Their clothes rustled but their breathing remained calm .
In the distance, Dongmen Yingyang was completely scorched black . The gold-armored soldier’s purple fire had swept over him and devoured his Pure Yang Chi Construct, causing him to be heavily injured . He staggered to his feet while holding onto a large tree . He could not understand why the gold-armored soldier would suddenly grow so strong after Ye Chen had disappeared for a while, becoming peak Heavenly Venerable Rank from mid-Heavenly Venerable Rank . He should not have underestimated the gold-armored soldier!
The Celestial Chi in Dongmen Yingyang’s body had been almost completely spent and the meridians in many parts of his body were broken and seriously injured .
A trace of hatred flashed in Dongmen Yingyang’s eyes . He had killed countless people and defeated many masters, but he had unexpectedly fallen by the hands of a seventeen-year-old boy . He could not fight with that cursed thing, otherwise, he might end up dying here . Thus, he jumped up and tried to escape but the gold-armored soldier suddenly swooped down from the sky with alarming speed . The purple flames burning on his longsword shone brightly and Dongmen Yingyang’s eyes clouded in fear .
Then, with a loud “boom”, Dongmen Yingyang was engulfed by the purple fire .
After Ye Chen had urged the gold-armored soldier to deal with the final blow, he finally could not withstand the intense concentration needed in the battle . His head felt dizzy as he fell to the ground with heavy breaths . That was the first battle where he had completely exhausted his energy . If Dongmen Yingyang remained alive, perhaps it would be Ye Chen who would lose .
Victory!

Ye Chen revealed a tired smile as he wondered what had happened to Little Wingsy . He had no more energy to help Little Wingsy and could only sit on the ground .
Ye Chen’s consciousness was somewhat hazy and his body was extremely tired . It was a sign of overusing his Astral Body .
Ye Chen had used Celestial Chi to recover his physical strength . Little Tanuki had recovered quicker than Ye Chen and entered the forest with several leaps .
After around half an hour, Little Wingsy appeared above Ye Chen . He had transformed into the form of a boy and landed beside Ye Chen .
Ye Chen opened his eyes . His physical strength had recovered slightly . Although he had not recovered to the strength at his peak, there would be no problem in continuing his journey .
“Little Wingsy, what happened to that guy?”
“He wouldn’t stop hitting me and also took a lot of medicinal pills, but he suddenly fell asleep while hitting me, so I came back . ” Little Wingsy looked a little confused . He did not understand why the man would sleep when fighting . He laughed as if thinking of something . “But I took all his stuff!” Little Wingsy took out a Heaven-Earth Bag and said proudly .
‘That Nanman Kingdom master mustn’t be allowed to escape!’ Ye Chen’s Astral Body swept a distance a few miles away . The Heavenly Venerable Rank combatant from the Nanman Kingdom quietly lay there, not breathing . He must have completely spent his body after eating too many medicinal pills to increase his strength .
Ye Chen recalled his Astral Body and looked at the naive and kind Little Wingsy, and remained silent .
Seeing Little Wingsy curiously looking into the Heaven-Earth Pouch, Ye Chen could not help but laugh . This little brat was becoming a money-grubber like Little Tanuki!
Just then, a white figure flashed by and Little Tanuki came back . There were seven to eight Heaven-Earth Pouches in its mouth and its eyes were curved into a smile that had an indescribable coquettishness .
Ye Chen rubbed his head . He was speechless toward these two money-grubbers .
“We have to go quickly . A large battle had just occurred here . It might attract other combatants,” Ye Chen said . Little Tanuki leaped and landed on Ye Chen’s shoulder .
Little Wingsy followed Ye Chen from behind and the three of them disappeared into the dense forest .
The chaotic scene had finally quietened down .
After half an hour, several people dressed in gold armor appeared in the thick forest, led by a peak Tenth Level middle-aged man in his forties .
“Have you found out the identities of the people who died?” the middle-aged man asked in a heavy voice .
“Reporting to the General, these people are all masters from the Nanman Kingdom and a few are even spies . We have been watching them for a long time,” one of them answered respectfully .
The middle-aged man was a gold-armored imperial guard and was also a General .
“What are the identities of these Nanman Kingdom masters?” the middle-aged man asked . His deep frown loosened . There were so many dead and all of them were from the Nanman Kingdom . He had thought that it was the Nanman Kingdom who were causing trouble .
“According to the information I’ve collected, the one charred black by fire is called Dongmen Yingyang, a peak Heavenly Venerable Rank combatant . As for the one with shattered bones, his name is Sikou Fengyan, a mid-Heavenly Venerable One . In addition, there are five other Earthly Venerable Rank combatants and eight peak Tenth Level combatants!” the man replied cautiously . ”Access webnovel . live if you like watching manga,comics .
The middle-aged man was shocked upon hearing the subordinate’s report . Two of the dead were Heavenly Venerable Rank combatants . He immediately felt that the matter was more serious than he had previously thought and asked fiercely, “Are you sure the information is accurate?”
“Yes, General . There’s no doubt!” The man put on a bold face . If he were wrong, he would be beheaded .
The middle-aged man felt his heart stutter . These were two Heavenly Venerable Rank combatants, five Earthly Venerable Rank combatants, and eight peak Tenth Level combatants, but they had died here . Who exactly did this? Perhaps it was a group of people? Even if two sects united, they might not be able to defeat so many combatants this easily!
“Send a messenger hawk to His Majesty immediately!”
A few messenger hawks flew to the skies .
At this time, Ye Chen, Little Tanuki, and Little Wingsy were already miles away .
Emerald Cloud Mountain stretched on endlessly . After breaking away from the path, the road grew even more rugged . Gradually, the sky began to darken .
Before long, Ye Chen and his party had entered a valley . The wind passed through the valley and howled incessantly .
“Little Tanuki, Little Wingsy, I’m afraid we’ll have to camp outside tonight . ” Ye Chen smiled wryly . It was really difficult to find a place to rest in the middle of nowhere .
The mountains surrounded them from all sides in a radius of five to six miles . How would they be able to get out anytime soon?
“Squeak squeak . ” Little Tanuki looked somewhat distressed .
Little Wingsy also hung his head . He wanted to sleep in a warm bed but where would he find one in this wilderness? He had forgotten that he used to be able to sleep in the icy cold before .
If their only option was to sleep in the wild, Little Tanuki and Little Wingsy could only accept their fate .
Ye Chen looked at the armguard space . Fortunately, some things had been prepared in it . He could pitch a simple tent to camp here for the night .
If they could find a flying mystical beast in the mountain forest tomorrow, it would be much more convenient to travel .
“Little Tanuki, Little Wingsy, let’s find if there are any flying mystical beasts,” Ye Chen said . His Astral Body emerged and began to search the valley forest .
“Brother Ye Chen, I can change back to my original form and take Brother Ye Chen and Sister Tanuki out of the valley . ” Little Wingsy did not mind Ye Chen and Little Tanuki sitting on his back .
