Chapter 80: Unequal Slaughter
Soon, more cultivators gradually surrounded Ye Chen, but Ye Chen remained calm and unhurried, the Wuji Yin-Yang Diagram always behind him, slowly rotating.
"Bold Chinese person, you're practically asking for death!"
A cultivator at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment shouted at Ye Chen; Ye Chen raised his head and looked at that person, the corner of his mouth always bearing a faint smile, as if teasing, as if mocking.
Seeing the smile on Ye Chen's face, the surrounding cultivators flew into a rage.
"Damned Chinese cultivator, we've been looking for you, and didn't expect you to come to us yourself."
Ye Chen listened to their words and spoke lightly, "Now that I'm here, why don't you come kill me?"
Ye Chen's plain tone sounded like endless mockery in the ears of the M Country cultivators.
"You!"
However, Ye Chen turned a deaf ear to his words, he lightly lifted his index finger and pointed forward; in an instant, tens of thousands of vengeful spirits like dark clouds in the sky surged toward those few M Country cultivators.
Seeing this, those few cultivators' pupils contracted sharply; they had thought their strength sufficient to kill Ye Chen, but now it seemed they had overestimated themselves, for those vengeful spirits, they could not possibly kill them all.
They also lacked Ye Chen's overpowering killing move; each time they could only take away a few or a few hundred vengeful spirits, but now Ye Chen's vengeful spirits numbered tens of thousands!
Moreover, the number of Ye Chen's vengeful spirits kept increasing, not by a few or a few hundred, but by thousands upon thousands.
Furthermore, this could be considered M Country reaping what it sowed; many of those vengeful spirits were supplied by M Country itself to Ye Chen, and if they hadn't sent so many demon beasts to attack Ye Chen, he wouldn't have so many vengeful spirits.
In the present situation, Ye Chen could wear them down to death even by mere attrition.
But Ye Chen obviously did not intend to do that.
He had just noticed those cultivators charging from one direction, which meant the M Country cultivators' main base was likely in that direction.
"Let's go take a look."
The moment Ye Chen's words fell, he bypassed those cultivators and flew toward the direction they had come from.
Those cultivators wanted to stop Ye Chen, but they were already overwhelmed; how could they possibly stop him?
They could only watch Ye Chen pass before them, powerless to stop him.
Ye Chen ordered the vengeful spirits to leave the skins of those few cultivators; although he guessed there would be stronger cultivators in the M Country cultivators' main base, a few more wouldn't matter and would further strengthen the Ten Thousand Souls Banner's capacity to hold vengeful spirits—why not?
Ye Chen's speed was great; soon he felt several hundred strong auras, all from M Country cultivators—the strongest already at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, the weakest at the first level; to Ye Chen, this would be a tough battle.
However, he felt quite excited.
He had never experienced an evenly matched battle; although some here were stronger than him, he believed they might not actually be stronger than him.
Moreover, he couldn't guarantee they didn't have some killing move, but he just felt excited.
The Wuji Yin-Yang Diagram reappeared behind him, Extreme Boundary power leaked out, and the heavenly eye between his brows opened at this moment; Ye Chen now was at his strongest state.
At the instant the Wuji Yin-Yang Diagram and Extreme Boundary power appeared together, three Foundation Establishment cultivators flew out from the M Country cultivators' main base, all at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, likely the three highest cultivators of M Country.
"Bold!"
"What a lot of damn nonsense."
Having said that, Ye Chen hesitated no more and charged straight at the three; as they saw him rushing toward them, the corners of their mouths still bore a playful smile.
In their view, Ye Chen was simply seeking death.
"A mere second-level Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to oppose us."
The cultivator among the three Foundation Establishment practitioners said disdainfully.
"Didn't your mother tell you villains die from talking too much?"
Boom—
Terrifying energy exploded; in an instant, smoke and dust billowed, and the three cultivators were blown back dozens of meters in the air; their disdain vanished, replaced by shock.
And according to the principle 'no smoke, no injury,' Ye Chen walked out of the thick smoke unscathed, "Is this your strength? If so, then you can… go die!"
Ye Chen said coldly; at the moment his words fell, his figure vanished like a ghost, the three cultivators even unable to see how he disappeared,
They looked around in all directions, unsure whether from fear or guarding against Ye Chen's sneak attack, the three stood back to back, vigilantly scanning their surroundings.
Just as they were guarding against Ye Chen, suddenly a huge black-and-white diagram appeared above them, the diagram bearing unparalleled awe-inspiring pressure; moreover, after the diagram appeared, they clearly felt their blood seemed to congeal.
This was suppression, and also their fear of that diagram.
"Quick! Take out the magical artifact bestowed upon us by our lord!"
As that voice fell, a mirror appeared out of thin air; in the mirror, Ye Chen's figure had nowhere to hide.
Ye Chen helplessly, his figure reappeared before the three; at the instant the mirror appeared, his Wuji Yin-Yang Diagram shattered with a bang.
Ye Chen knew the mirror was terrifying; just as he prepared to attack the three again, a voice suddenly appeared and stopped him.
"Ye Chen, retreat first; this is an imitation of the Myriad Object Mirror—anyone reflected by it will walk out of the mirror with a shadow identical to the original; although it only works on cultivators below Golden Core, you are only at Foundation Establishment, yet your strength far exceeds your peers, so your shadow will also be very powerful."
Ye Chen heard Hunyan suddenly speak, his heart somewhat stirred, "I thought you'd be asleep for years."
Ye Chen said, seeming not to care about the shadow split from the mirror, he skipped over Hunyan's partial words.
However, Hunyan did not directly answer Ye Chen, but said to him, "Let's go first; I saw several figures in the starry sky watching you, you're likely already targeted by them."
After hearing Hunyan's words, Ye Chen raised his head to glance at the azure sky, then sighed and said to Hunyan, "Alright, I understand."
The next moment, Ye Chen charged at the three, "But before that, I need to deal with these three first."
Seeing Ye Chen charge at them, the three's pupils contracted sharply; through the earlier clash they had sensed Ye Chen's terrifying strength, so they did not want to fight him, but if they fled, Ye Chen would directly destroy their main base.
"I'll help you control the fragments; then you find a deserted place, and I'll shield your aura."
I'll help you control the fragments, then you find a deserted place, and I'll help shield your aura.
Good.
