The Slaughter Lord and the other three Dao Sect experts thought that Ye Shitian and Duan Huai An were nothing but sitting ducks, and that they merely had to wait until Qingxuan Peakâs patriarch left before taking action.
They envisioned a massacre, but now it turned out that Ye Shitian had discovered them!
Now, they were the ones who had actually become prey!
The Lord of Slaughter looked at the other three Dao Sect experts, who were brimming with killing intent, and asked, âAre you sure itâs just Ye Shitian? Since he discovered us, Duan Huai An and the Qingxuan Peakâs patriarch might appear!â
âHeâs alone. Also, his aura has completely disappeared. I canât sense it any longer. Everyone, be careful!â
At this moment, everyoneâs expressions turned extremely serious.
At this moment, Ye Chen was standing on a giant tree, hundreds of meters away from the Lord of Slaughter and the others.
Countless branches and leaves blocked his vision, and at the same time, a golden sheen enveloped on the surface of his body, completely masking his aura.
He naturally noticed these four people. He recognized the Lord of Slaughter, but he did not recognize the other three. However, he could immediately tell that these three were more dangerous than the Lord of Slaughter.
There was even a strange resonance from his life rune.
âCould it be that these three also cultivate the Dao of Spiritual Talismans?â Ye Chen muttered.
âYou guessed it right. Do you really think that youâre the only one in the Kunlun Mountains who has a life rune?â
A cold voice rang out beside him.
Once again, it was Mo Ning, who was sitting on a branch higher up the tree, her slender legs swaying slightly.
âHowever, now that Iâm closer, I have discovered something rather extraordinary. Their life runes were not condensed and comprehended by themselves, but rather forcefully added!â
Ye Chenâs eyes narrowed when he heard this. âForcibly added? How is that possible?â
Mo Ning propped herself up with her arms and came over to Ye Chenâs side. She crossed her arms and said, âThe attributes of these three peopleâs life runes are ice, lightning, and fire! This isnât strange in the Kunlun Mountains, but their life runes are abnormally pure. Didnât you notice anything obviously strange about their auras?â
âTheir life runes are still hidden, so this is still a conjecture, but it seems that whoever is behind this has extraordinary means. You have to be careful.â
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and asked curiously, âWith my current strength, what are my chances of winning against these four people?â
When Mo Ning heard this, she rolled her eyes at Ye Chen.
âYouâve got guts at least, but if weâre talking about chances of winning⌠Less than 10%.â
âHowever, itâs not impossible for you to take down these four people. Iâm willing to help you.â
When Ye Chen heard Mo Ningâs words, he revealed a hint of joy.
âMo Ning is an existence at the level of an ancient mighty expert. Although she canât be compared to experts like Duan Leiren and Lin Qingxuan, sheâs still an ancient expert, and should be strong enough to easily take down these four people.â
Mo Ning noticed Ye Chenâs joy and said calmly, âTomb Master, if I help you, it will consume a lot of my strength. The price is very high.â
âThus, I hope that you can agree to a condition of mine. This condition is related to my personal life. Of course, you are the master of the Reincarnation Grave, and you have control over everything, so itâs fine if you donât agree.â
Ye Chen glanced at Mo Ning and saw the anticipation in her eyes. He nodded and said, âWhatâs the condition? I will consider it.â
Mo Ningâs beautiful eyes blinked slightly, revealing a smile.
âIt wonât be too late to talk about it after these four people are dealt with.â
âAlright, but you donât have to make a move for the time being. I want to try my newly-learned Godsbreaker! Furthermore, my Dao is the Dao of Slaughter. Only by fighting can I break through!â
After Ye Chen finished speaking, he did not hesitate anymore. He leapt up and put on Ye Shitianâs mask as he rushed toward the four experts.
Although these four people were as good as dead once Mo Ning took action, he would not reveal his identity before he could confirm who was behind these people.
Mo Ningâs figure also disappeared back into the Samsara Graveyard.
At this moment, the Lord of Slaughter and the other three experts were holding their breaths, focusing and waiting for something to happen.
âHeâs here,â the Dao Sect expert whose body was covered in lightning arcs suddenly said.
The moment those words were uttered, four weapons were unsheathed, and everyone turned their gaze in the same direction.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer!
Ten seconds later, a young man wearing a mask appeared in everyoneâs field of vision.
âOh? What a coincidence. The four of you are playing mahjong here? âYe Chen teased them calmly.
When the Lord of Slaughter saw Ye Chen appear with a mask on, his eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
This was the person who had destroyed his foundation and years of hard work in the Land of Slaughter! He would never let this b*stard go!
âYe Shitian! You actually dared to appear! How dare you!â
Ye Chen ignored the Lord of Slaughter and looked at the other three. He said calmly, âIâm very curious. Whoâs standing behind you?â
The three of them showed no signs of responding, but the Lord of Slaughter did.
âYe Shitian, donât you know who youâve offended? Since youâve delivered yourself to our doorstep, we donât have to wait for the sect master to send Qingxuan Peakâs patriarch away. Today, this will be the place where you and Duan Huai An will be buried!â
âQuickly, use the ancient evil technique the sect master gave us! We canât let this kid escape!â
The three of them nodded and formed hand seals with their fingers. Three drops of blood essence were forced out, instantly condensing a black rune in the sky.
Ominous black mist rose up, and began to sweep out.
Ye Chen also noticed the black barrier that had formed around him!
The aura the barrier exuded was extremely familiar. It was exactly the same as the ancient evil technique that sealed Duan Huai Anâs dantian!
After figuring out everything, Ye Chenâs eyes turned cold. It seemed that he had been exposed when he broke the seal on his masterâs dantian.
Although the Dao Sectâs sect master was injured by the backlash, it had completely ignited the latterâs desire to kill him.
And these four people were the ones he dispatched to accomplish this task.
At this moment, the barrier was like a cage, and Ye Chen was like a trapped beast!
The corners of the Lord of Slaughterâs mouth curled into a sinister smile. âYe Shitian, no one can help you now. I heard that your strength is extremely heaven-defying. Today, let me show you just how weak you are!â
âDo you want me to kill you personally, or do you want to kneel down and cripple your own cultivation?â
The Lord of Slaughter was extremely confident. No matter how strong Ye Shitian was, he was no match for the four of them!
This was a trap that was specially prepared to kill him, and he had stepped into it without hesitation!
Ye Chen took a step forward and unsheathed the Dragonslayer Heaven Sword. He adjusted his condition and pointed the sword at the Lord of Slaughter, saying calmly, âWhat if I donât want to die?â
âYou donât want to die?â The Lord of Slaughter laughed coldly. âThatâs not up to you! Donât worry, I wonât let you die so easily. Iâll breakevery finger of yours, destroy your dantian, and dry up your blood drop by drop!â
