Chapter 119: Rescue, Instant Kill

After those people truly felt Ye Chen's cultivation, a tremor of fear rippled through their bodies, caused by the terror they could not suppress.

Those few cultivators who exploded and died have now become the luckiest among them; at least they no longer have to feel Ye Chen's terrifying aura.

Although Ye Chen and they are both at the Golden Core Tenth Level, there is still a huge gap within the Golden Core Tenth Level, just as between the current Ye Chen and them.

They are powerless to strike back in front of Ye Chen.

In the face of absolute power, they have already lost the will to resist, and some have even begun to betray their own families.

"You, you can't kill me, do you know that I am…"

Yet before the cultivator could finish speaking, Ye Chen instantly sliced off his neck.

"Noisy."

Ye Chen's voice fell calmly; fewer than half of the cultivators still alive remain.

Lin Jingxue, Wang Lan, and Gu Yuan all wore extremely complex expressions.

They had considered Ye Chen's strength, but never imagined it would be this overwhelming!

At this moment, Ye Chen is frantically harvesting those people's lives; even after they die they find no peace, because their souls have been sealed into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and even in death Ye Chen will squeeze out every last ounce of usefulness.

As time passed, only one Golden Core cultivator remained—the swordsman.

Yet even he now lacks the courage to fight Ye Chen; in less than ten breaths, the nine Golden Core cultivators with him all fell, and such strength is beyond his ability to overcome.

Escape is the only thing on his mind now.

However, even though he keeps urging himself to move his legs, he still cannot; the reason is simple—Ye Chen's aura has locked onto him, and that terrifying, overwhelming aura feels as if his liver and gallbladder were torn, leaving him no courage to step forward.

"No, how could this be? Clearly half a month ago he was only a Golden Core Third Level cultivator; in just fifteen days, why such a massive boost? I don't believe it, I don't believe!"

At this moment his mind is already clouded; the blow is huge. He struggles, yet even three or thirty years might not break a single level, whereas Ye Chen, in just fifteen days, not only broke through but advanced seven minor realms.

This made him unable to accept it, even for a moment.

"Hahaha, fate, it's all fate!"

Ye Chen looked at the dazed man, his eyes growing colder, "When you hunted me, why didn't you speak of fate? The killer always kills; I was prepared to be killed at any moment, clearly you were not prepared."

"However, even though I was prepared, they must also possess the strength, like you—or the current you—still far from worthy."

After finishing his words, Ye Chen stopped talking, instantly beheaded the man, then approached Lin Jingxue, Wang Lan, and Gu Yuan, apologizing, "I'm sorry, teachers, for dragging you into this."

"It's fine, it's fine."

Lin Jingxue smiled and said that Ye Chen's rescue was beyond their expectations; although they were captured because of Ye Chen, at this moment few would risk it, clearly Ye Chen is not that kind of person.

"Mixed Eye, can you conceal their celestial secrets?"

Ye Chen suddenly asked Mixed Eye.

"Yes."

"Then help me conceal their celestial secrets; I don't want them to be entangled with me any further."

"Alright, but I'll need to sleep for a while, about three days."

"Alright."

After finishing with Mixed Eye, Ye Chen turned to Lin Jingxue, Wang Lan, and Gu Yuan: "Teachers, I can conceal your celestial secrets; I'll find a place for you to hide, and after I settle these matters, I'll take you out."

Ye Chen said to Lin Jingxue and the others.

After Ye Chen finished, Lin Jingxue, Wang Lan, and Gu Yuan exchanged glances and then gave Ye Chen a gentle nod.

"Now relax your minds, do not resist; a force from outside is about to flow into your bodies."

Ye Chen said, and the moment his words fell, a gentle yet strange force suddenly surged into them.

They sensed the force, and the astonishment on their faces instantly intensified.

This was a power they had never encountered; the moment it appeared, they even felt themselves slowly fading from this world.

"How amazing!"

Lin Jingxue couldn't help but exclaim.

Meanwhile, Wang Lan and Gu Yuan beside her felt the same, though they did not exclaim, their faces were full of surprise.

"Ye Chen… what have you gone through these days?"

Lin Jingxue asked subconsciously, and the moment she said it, she immediately sensed something was wrong.

However, Ye Chen showed no particular concern.

Seeing Ye Chen not display displeasure or unhappiness, Lin Jingxue's nervous heart finally relaxed.

Shortly after, Mixed Eye completely concealed their celestial secrets, and after it finished, its voice echoed in Ye Chen's mind.

"I will fall into slumber; for the next three days you'll be on your own. They won't locate you; you can try to defeat them one by one. But I must warn you, Yun Yun, that little girl, has been having a hard time lately; you'd better find her; she now…"

Mixed Eye's voice grew fainter until Ye Chen could no longer hear what it said.

"What's wrong with her now? Finish speaking before you fall asleep!"

Ye Chen's tone revealed a hint of anxiety.

He has seen Yun Yun's kindness toward him and will not allow her to fall into danger because of him.

However, he must first escort Lin Jingxue, Wang Lan, and Gu Yuan to the place where he cultivates in seclusion, then plunder the cultivation resources from those cultivators for them.

Afterwards, he will seek those Xingkong outsiders and settle the accounts.

"I'll first take you to a safe place; then you can cultivate there. They can't find you now; just cultivate peacefully."

After Ye Chen finished, Lin Jingxue, Wang Lan, and Gu Yuan all nodded at him; seeing no objection, Ye Chen immediately led them to his former secluded cultivation site.

However, before that he must first loot the storage bags of these Golden Core cultivators; now Mixed Eye is unconscious, and he has nowhere to store items, so he still needs a storage bag.

After Ye Chen completed these tasks, he sent Lin Jingxue, Wang Lan, and Gu Yuan to his previous secluded cultivation spot.
