"Kill this Ye Chen, kill him!"

Ao Lei's roaring voice surged throughout the entire expanse of the void.

Yet, from the outside, one could neither hear Ao Lei's voice nor see the tense standoff of several people within this patch of the void.

The Heavenly Saint Barrier set up by Bing Shiyi and Ao Xuan in their later stages had already concealed the imminent outbreak of a great battle in this vast mountain clearing!

Within the barrier.

Hearing Ao Ming's words, the four, including Ao Xuan and Ao Ming, exchanged glances. Although they were somewhat concerned about Ye Chen's composure, they knew that now was not the time for hesitation.

Killing Ye Chen and seizing the Void Heaven Sword Embryo was a task they had to undertake!

If there truly was a change, then they would respond to the situation as it developed!

They couldn't possibly let go of Ye Chen simply because of a vague sense of concern!

At that thought, the four Heavenly Saints simultaneously sprang into action. Their staggering late-stage Heavenly Saint power surged forth, converging on Ye Chen to kill him.

The attack speed of a late-stage Heavenly Saint was exceedingly fast; in but a flash, the four Heavenly Saints were upon Ye Chen.

Their attacks, incredibly, turned the very air of the void into lethal force, blasting toward Ye Chen.

Seeing the four Heavenly Saints make their move, Ao Lei folded his arms within the void and looked on at Ye Chen with a cold sneer, believing that in the next moment, Ye Chen would be nothing but a corpse!

Ao Lei's sneer had just started spreading across his face when, in the next instant, it froze.

Because, as Ao Xuan and Ao Ming's group launched their attack on Ye Chen, Ye Chen's body instantly emitted four rays of light.

These four rays of light were unmistakably the four great Ice Guardians: Bing Shiba, Bing Shijiu, Bing Shisi, and Bing Shiwu!

The instant the four Ice Guardians appeared from the Ice Snow Jade Pendant, they erupted with a tremendous fighting force and directly confronted Ao Xuan and Ao Ming's group.

The bull-headed and human-bodied mighty Bing Shiba and the lion-faced and human-bodied Bing Shijiu had once exchanged blows with Ao Quan and Ao Hu. The two guardians had sent Ao Quan and Ao Hu reeling backwards with a palm strike, so their fighting power was, of course, higher than that of Ao Quan and Ao Hu.

And the fighting power of the giant spider Bing Shiwu was already at the strongest level of Ao Xuan's group, while the nine-armed humanoid Bing Shisi, being stronger than Bing Shiwu, certainly overpowered their four opponents.

This time, with the four Ice Guardians joining forces, and with Bing Shiwu and Bing Shisi fighting on behalf of their Lord Ye Chen for the first time, they certainly brought out their true capabilities. In just a single move, the four Ice Guardians completely suppressed Ao Xuan and Ao Ming's group of four Heavenly Saints.

This sudden turn in the battle caused the complexions of Ao Xuan and Ao Ming's group, who were engaged in the fight, to drastically change, and plunged Ao Lei into a state akin to falling into a cavern of ice.

In an instant, Ao Lei thought back to what Ye Chen had said earlier: if he had dared to strike at Ye Chen, he would have died already.

Initially, Ao Lei thought Ye Chen was boasting. How could Ao Lei have imagined that Ye Chen was not in the company of two late-stage Heavenly Saint guardians, but four?

Moreover, the two newly revealed guardians were stronger than his Uncle Xuan and Uncle Ming!

Ye Chen had not been boasting.

Ye Chen truly had the power to kill them!

At this realization, Ao Lei's heart began to pound violently, and he dared not imagine the outcome for himself after Ao Xuan and Ao Ming's defeat.

As Ao Lei's heart raced, a voice he did not wish to hear reached his ears—it was undoubtedly Ye Chen's voice, "Sirs, while your Heavenly Saints are engaging with mine, shouldn't we also have a match?"

As Ao Lei looked up, he saw Ye Chen had already appeared before him.

Glancing at Ao Xuan and Ao Ming's group, who were already at a disadvantage and could be defeated at any moment, and then at the calmly smiling Ye Chen standing before him, Ao Lei knew that he had really bitten off more than he could chew this time.

In a flash, the thought of fleeing sprang to Ao Lei's mind.

He would not confront Ye Chen directly, because once those four guardians won their battle, they could easily turn to kill him, leaving him with absolutely no chance of escape.

With this thought, Ao Lei's figure burst forth, not caring in the least about Ao Xuan and Ao Ming's group, and he made a beeline for the edge of the void to escape.

Seeing Ao Lei's fleeing figure, Ye Chen gave a light smile and did not pursue.

As Ao Lei saw that Ye Chen did not chase him and wondered why, during this life-and-death moment he didn't dare to waste time thinking and only wanted to flee as far away as possible. Just as he was about to fly out of the area, he heard a "boom," and he was blocked by an inexplicable force.

A barrier!

Instantly, Ao Lei thought of a barrier! The barrier set by Ao Xuan and Ao Ming's group wouldn't stop him. The only possibility if he was being blocked was that this barrier was set up by Ye Chen's side.

Ye Chen's side had also set up a barrier?

Ao Lei had no idea, and even Ao Xuan and Ao Ming beside him hadn't noticed before!

Struck dizzy by the barrier's impact, Ao Lei's face was now pale, and at that moment, Ye Chen's faint voice reached his ears again, "You can't escape now. If you don't make a move, I'm afraid you'll never have the chance again."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Blocked by the Heavenly Saint Barrier, Ao Lei, who turned around to look at Ye Chen, was thunderstruck when he saw the situation of the battle behind him. His mind exploded with a thunderous roar.

In the moment he had turned to flee and been blocked by the barrier, the four behind him—Ao Xuan, Ao Ming, Ao Quan, and Ao Hu—had been instantly killed on the spot!

As he turned back, he witnessed the treasures from the bodies of Ao Xuan and the others flying towards the four mighty beasts fighting for Ye Chen. At the same time, the four of them were shred by those beasts' formidable combat power, not even leaving ash behind!

His immensely proud experts of the late Heavenly Saint stage had been killed in an instant, without even having a chance to scream!

The vast void was now left with only him, Ao Lei!

And at this moment, as Ye Chen spoke to him, the four protectors lazily watched him, clearly not having made a move, indicating that Ye Chen wanted to deal with him personally.

"It's over, I'm completely finished."

Ao Lei could never have imagined that Ye Chen, whom he considered insignificant, would have so many trump cards.

Had he known this would happen, he wouldn't have sought revenge on Ye Chen, even if Ye Chen not only sold the Void Heaven Sword Embryo but even auctioned off his Treasure Cave Key!

But there was no pill for regret now, for Ao Lei realized that Ye Chen had already surged with incredible combat power and was now right in front of him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, Ye Chen's body erupted with astonishing black flames—flames of the Heaven-Devouring True Fire, a fire technique divine art that had amalgamated Little Blue Flame True Fire, Green Disaster True Fire, and Purple Flame Spirit Fire!

The black flames transformed into a terrifying black dragon and, in a swift motion, wrapped around Ao Lei and drew him close to Ye Chen.

Ao Lei, at the late-stage Turning Dan realm, had true combat power but was no match for even one move from Ye Chen!

"Ye Chen, if you dare kill me, my father will never let you go!"

"Our Beast Alliance will flatten your Barbaric Wilderness Continent!"

Surrounded by the Heaven-Devouring True Fire transformed into a monstrous black dragon, Ao Ming bellowed, pale as a ghost.

With his four Heavenly Saints dead, he could only resort to using the identity of his father, head of the Beast Alliance Ao Chan, to press Ye Chen and hope for a slim chance of escape.

But Ye Chen would give no such chance to Ao Lei.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Your father? If your father were here today trying to kill me, I would kill him, too!"

"Flatting the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, that's beyond his abilities!"

"What's more, this place is covered by the Heavenly Saint Barrier. You wanted to kill me unnoticed before, but now that you're dead, it's just as silent."

The Barbaric Wilderness Continent had the True Phoenix, a fifth-level divine deity, and Mu Lan, a third-level divine deity—two powerful beings. Even if Ao Chan had reached the late Heavenly Saint stage or was a true deity, he wouldn't dare easily invade the Barbaric Wilderness Continent!

Moreover, there was no normal way to enter or exit between the Barbaric Wilderness Continent and the five continents of the Beast Alliance, only through ancient transmission arrays. In a real battle, once the arrays were destroyed, the Beast Alliance couldn't even get into the Barbaric Wilderness Continent.

Why would Ye Chen worry about the people from the Beast Alliance?

Seeing that Ao Lei was still stubborn, Ye Chen couldn't be bothered to waste time on him. With a gesture, the terrifying black dragon engulfing Ao Lei turned into ferocious flames, instantly engulfing his physical body.

The new fire technique divine art, Heaven-Devouring True Fire, which had assimilated three flames, including the mid-grade Sacred Artifact Purple Flame Spirit Fire, now had the killing power of a mid-stage Heavenly Saint, easily capable of crushing most at that stage.

Ye Chen expected that if the black flames touched Ao Lei, he would likely be killed instantly.

However, to Ye Chen's surprise, as right when the flames made contact with Ao Lei's body, a faint purple garment light shadow suddenly appeared, as if he was wearing another garment outside his clothes.

This purple garment shadow immediately blocked the true flames upon contact, repelling the Heaven-Devouring True Fire which could crush most mid-stage Heavenly Saints.

"Eh?"

Ye Chen let out a light gasp at this turn of events.

He instantly realized that the purple shadow around Ao Lei's clothes might be a top-notch defensive Sacred Artifact vestment robe or even a Divine Artifact.

On Ao Lei's side.

Seeing his Divine Artifact vestment robe, the "Purple Mist True Garment," fend off Ye Chen's fiery assault, Ao Lei's ashen face slightly relaxed.

Although his expression eased, his taut heart was still unable to settle.

He might have a powerful defensive Divine Artifact, but he had no strong offensive power and still couldn't cope with Ye Chen. He saw the black flames that couldn't breach his "Purple Mist True Garment's" defense transform back into the huge black dragon and wrap around him again.

Once more, he couldn't even move!

In this situation, no matter how strong his defense, he could only passively endure the blows.

And now, Ao Lei heard Ye Chen's devilish voice, "Quite a strong defensive robe. If so, then let's see if other means can break through this defense."

When Ao Lei looked at Ye Chen, he saw dazzling golden arcs breaking through the void on Ye Chen's hand.
