Chapter 74: Do you have a slight misunderstanding about my strength?

Kill…… for me.

Ye Chen's icy words fell, and those souls, upon receiving his command, all rushed toward those demons.

In an instant, the sky-filling souls clashed with those demons; a few souls tried to flee, but were all suppressed by Ye Chen's strike.

Bai Yuan and the others watched the suddenly appearing Ye Chen, and the sky-full of souls that appeared with him; besides shock, they also had hope of survival.

Who…… is this person?

He…… I don't know.

How could he…… be so strong?

……

Everyone put a "mysterious" label on Ye Chen.

Until then, the silent Bai Yuan stepped forward, looking at Ye Chen hovering in midair, and softly said: "He is called…… Ye Chen."

Ye Chen could hear their words, but he didn't care; at this moment, his eyes stared straight at a not-so-far place.

There, he could feel a terrifying aura.

Moreover, from this aura he could clearly sense that it was of the same origin as his, the aura of a cultivator.

Their cultivation…… is the same system!

It seems the worst thing has still happened.

Ye Chen thought.

In this world, there are simply no orthodox cultivators!

But that person's aura is that of an orthodox cultivator, which proves that those experts from beyond Xingkong have already made a move.

This really is a piece of bad news.

But according to what the System said before, those people should temporarily be unable to enter, so they must have influenced the people here by some special means, giving them secret arts to raise their cultivation, and also teaching them cultivation methods; that would explain it.

Ye Chen pondered the causes and consequences of these matters in his heart.

But he still had a doubt in his heart.

Why don't those experts from beyond Xingkong seek the people of Huaxia? Once they find Huaxia people, starting to disintegrate from within, wouldn't that be simpler and easier than directly seeking Westerners?

Ye Chen couldn't figure it out; he looked at the battlefield before him, and he wasn't worried that these demons could overcome his Ten Thousand Souls Banner army.

His army only grows larger the more it fights.

System, the experts from beyond Xingkong have already made a move, but I don't understand one thing: they clearly could directly seek Huaxia cultivators and disintegrate from within, yet they aren't doing that now—why?

Because Huaxia has great fortune, and also the formations left by ancient qi cultivators; these protect Huaxia, so that experts from beyond Xingkong cannot invade Huaxia, but other countries cannot do this, so they are destined to become sacrifices for the invasion of this planet by the experts from beyond Xingkong.

The System finished speaking, and Ye Chen said nothing more.

The System once again revealed to him an extremely important piece of information—the ancient qi cultivators.

Just as he was about to ask the System again, suddenly a powerful aura rushed toward him.

Ye Chen furrowed his brows, looking toward the direction the aura came from.

Bai Yuan, take your people and leave this place quickly; a powerful enemy…… is coming,

Ye Chen's tone was extremely solemn; Bai Yuan had never seen Ye Chen so solemn before, so he immediately gave orders to those behind him.

Let's go.

With his command, everyone followed him away from this place.

But before leaving, they all unconsciously turned back to glance at Ye Chen once.

Ye Chen ignored their gazes, because the owner of that aura had already arrived before him.

The comer was a young man with blond hair and blue eyes; his gaze was full of contempt, as if he didn't look down on Ye Chen at all.

Great Lord, we shall bathe in Your glory, seek truth, explore the mysteries of the universe; Great Lord, You! are my everything!

The blond man prayed devoutly.

Ye Chen glanced at the blond man with an indifferent gaze; he had already guessed that the "Lord" in the blond man's mouth was precisely that expert from beyond Xingkong.

Great Lord, grant me supreme power; I will remove all obstacles for You. Let You descend!

The blond man said with utmost devotion; after finishing, he lifted his head and coldly looked at Ye Chen: "You…… are the enemy; the Lord says, kill you!"

After the blond man finished speaking, his body erupted with a domineering aura, and the sea surface was churned into turbulent waves by his aura.

Warning! Warning! He is a fifth-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator; given the host's current second-layer Foundation Establishment trash-level cultivation, it is advised to flee first!

Ye Chen ignored the System's voice; he looked at the blond man before him, his eyes holding only boundless indifference.

Suddenly, the blond man lunged at Ye Chen; Ye Chen hesitated not, summoning the Wuji Yin-Yang Diagram, and the Extreme Boundary power after his breakthrough also burst forth.

After sensing the aura on Ye Chen's body, the blond man almost instantly put away the contempt on his face.

You…… are strong!

After saying that, the blond man also charged at Ye Chen, his body bearing unmatched aura.

The Lord says, you must die!

Ye Chen listened to the blond man's words, but did not reply.

This person has already said that line twice; that means the experts from beyond Xingkong have already set their sights on me—when? Was it before this, or because I blocked their demon army and thus drew their attention?

Among Ye Chen's two guesses, he leans toward the latter, because the System said that here there is a formation left by ancient qi cultivators, so they cannot scout nor act against Ye Chen.

Then I'll take you to see your Lord!

After Ye Chen finished speaking, his blood and qi exploded throughout his body, as if substantive.

And when the blond man sensed the blood and qi on Ye Chen's body, his heart was greatly shocked, and simultaneously a sense of danger arose in his heart.

How is this possible!? I have the supreme power granted by the Lord on my body—what kind of power does he actually have, why does it make me feel afraid!

This time the blond man was truly afraid; since obtaining this power, he had long not felt what fear is.

But today he genuinely felt it; cultivators are especially sensitive to danger, so he already knows that he very likely is not Ye Chen's opponent.

Ye Chen seemed to have seen the blond man's thoughts, and he sneered, "What's wrong, scared? Not going to show loyalty to your master? Or is your master nothing at all?"

Ye Chen's voice was full of mockery, and the blond man was utterly enraged by his words.

"My master is everything to me! I won't let you blaspheme my master in front of me!"

"My master is right—you have to die!"

After hearing the blond man's words, Ye Chen gave a cold laugh.

"If that's the case, then come be a guest in my Ten Thousand Souls Banner!"

After saying that, Ye Chen's sneer widened; in the next instant, his figure seemed to vanish from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already behind the blond man, holding up his Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and the blond man's face changed drastically.

"Is it my cultivation that has given you a mistaken impression of my strength?"

Swish—

The blond man was split into two halves by Ye Chen.
