Chapter 1905: Husband and Wife Duo

Pfft!

Amidst Qiong Qi's unwilling roar, his Nascent Soul was extinguished by Ji Ning Shuang's sword.

Another clan heir turned to dust in history.

Silence fell over the land after Qiong Qi's death. The spatial rifts slowly healed, but the scarred world could never fully recover, stained as it was with the blood of a clan heir.

"Why else would they be called clan heirs? They're truly damn rich." Ye Chen picked up Qiong Qi Di Zi's storage bag and sighed endlessly. Compared to those princes, the treasures of a clan heir were truly abundant.

"What about the Teng She divine body?" Ji Ning Shuang looked at Ye Chen.

"It's gone," Ye Chen replied casually, still tallying the spoils. He held a divine pearl in his hand, examining it closely, confirming it was a treasure, then breathed on it and wiped it with his sleeve.

Ji Ning Shuang gave a dry laugh. A quasi-emperor being destroyed was enough to shake the universe, yet Ye Chen dismissed it so lightly. Someone who had slain a Great Emperor was just that bold, making even her accustomed to it.

"It's all thanks to Hong Chen Six Paths," Ye Chen continued, rubbing his brow as he spoke. "But mentioning those two lunatics really pisses me off. They threw me into a black hole and ran off, stealing the Fenghuang Qin and the Emperor's Jade Ruyi in the process. I nearly got wiped out by the Heavenly Demon, but luckily Jiang Tai Xu and the four Great Emperors of Great Chu arrived in time. Otherwise, you'd be a widow."

"Heavenly Demon?" Ji Ning Shuang furrowed her brows slightly, unaware that Ye Chen had such an experience in the black hole.

"Here, this is a treasure." As Ji Ning Shuang frowned, Ye Chen fused a small shield into her brow. The shield was from Qiong Qi Di Zi, forged from imperial weapon fragments. Once integrated into the spiritual sea, it could attack enemies' Nascent Souls or protect one's true body—a heaven-defying secret treasure.

"You need it more," Ji Ning Shuang said, trying to force the small shield out.

"We're husband and wife—what's with the politeness?"

"Thank you," Ji Ning Shuang smiled faintly.

"We should go." Ye Chen's hand transformed into a Dao sword as he stepped into the sky.

Ji Ning Shuang gathered her thoughts and followed. The Hong Huang army was closing in, along with many Hong Huang clan heirs. They had to break out, or they'd face a deadly bloodbath if surrounded.

The two moved with illusory speed, keeping pace with each other.

From afar, they looked like a war god and a queen—truly a perfect match.

Looking around, dark clouds rolled, lightning flashed and thunder roared, as the Hong Huang army surged like tides, forming an encirclement. Killing intent and savagery rampaged through the heavens and earth, sweeping along hordes of Hong Huang beasts.

The Qiong Qi clan had the largest formation and was the most ferocious, with dozens of quasi-emperors leading the charge, followed by countless Qiong Qi warriors. All had blood-red eyes, grinding their teeth in rage, their faces twisted and terrifying.

Qiong Qi Di Zi's Nascent Soul jade tablet was kept with them, and just moments ago, it had shattered, proving Qiong Qi Di Zi's death. As Qiong Qi clan quasi-emperors, how could they not be furious?

"Ye Chen, my clan and you will fight to the death!" A Qiong Qi quasi-emperor roared like a mad dog.

"If it's war you want, then come!" Ye Chen's words rang out clearly, echoing across the four seas and eight wastes.

"Kill them, no mercy!" Ahead, the shouts of battle shook the heavens as the approaching Hong Huang army came into view. Figures swarmed like an ocean, covering the sky, with warriors from various Hong Huang clans mixed together. Some rode flying swords, others soared on clouds, and some piloted war chariots—the formation was massive.

The other three directions were the same.

This lineup included not only the Hong Huang army but also Hong Huang clan heirs, all geared up to finish Ye Chen.

"Charge through in one go!" Ye Chen led the way, activating his outer appearance as the Hegemon Body, plunging into the enemy ranks. He swept his sword horizontally, slaughtering countless figures who fell from the sky.

Ji Ning Shuang was equally ferocious, her immortal sword ringing as it released waves of annihilating sword qi. With one strike, she summoned an immortal river, obliterating anything it touched and carving out a bloody path that was strikingly vivid.

The Hong Huang warriors paled at the sight.

The most cowardly were the Hong Huang quasi-emperors.

Those quasi-emperors were the cleverest, staying tucked in the rear and letting their subordinates fight.

Their task was to stall for time until the other three armies arrived to join forces and surround them.

"Any who block me die!" Ye Chen's shout boomed like thunder. He split a Great Saint with one palm, then beheaded another with a sword flip, and stamped a third into oblivion with a kick, extending the bloody path he'd carved even further as Hong Huang warriors fell in droves.

Ji Ning Shuang said nothing, but her actions were terrifying—one sword, one swath of destruction, without hesitation.

Faced with their ferocity, the Hong Huang warriors activated formations. Thousands of killing arrays were set up, personally controlled by Hong Huang quasi-emperors, with source stones burning as the annihilating array lights wreaked havoc.

Ji Ning Shuang immediately used a secret technique to swap positions with a Hong Huang warrior.

Ye Chen was just as slick, specifically targeting Hong Huang Great Saints to exchange spaces with.

Well then! The killing arrays missed them and instead wiped out their own people in waves.

"Seal the space!" The Hong Huang quasi-emperors roared in anger.

At their command, at least a thousand Hong Huang Great Saints formed the same seal, locking down heaven and earth.

At the same time, the killing arrays reactivated, raining down lights like a storm.

However, they still underestimated Ye Chen and Ji Ning Shuang. Even without spatial shifts, their movements were profound, allowing them to dodge the arrays with ease and leave the Hong Huang warriors questioning their existence.

"Damn it!" The Hong Huang quasi-emperors were furious enough to spit blood.

This bloody lesson made them afraid to recklessly use the arrays again—keep it up, and the Hong Huang side would suffer greatly.

Though the arrays stopped, Ye Chen and Ji Ning Shuang fought even more fiercely.

Ye Chen rampaged through the Hong Huang army on the ground.

Ji Ning Shuang focused on the sky, targeting the strong warriors above.

Their coordination was perfect, needing no words—their tacit understanding was etched in their souls. They alternated as main attackers and supporters, completely routing the Hong Huang warriors.

This husband-and-wife team left even the King of Chu Jiang in the underworld sighing in amazement.

Among Ye Chen's wives, Ji Ning Shuang was the most dominant.

Even Chu Xuan couldn't compare.

Dong Shen Yao Chi lived up to its name; her combat power and understanding of the Dao were on par with Ye Chen's.

"No wonder even the Hong Huang Qilin isn't her match." During the charge, Ye Chen glanced upward and grinned. Having such a formidable wife was damn satisfying.

"Be careful, there's a clan heir-level threat," Ji Ning Shuang sent a message.

"So, it's two against two!" Ye Chen spotted them too—in the army's rear, demonic energy surged from Tian Xie Di Zi and Jin Ni Di Zi. One in silver armor with purple hair, the other in a python robe with blood-red eyes, both exuding grandeur, with overwhelming qi and blood, Dao principles manifesting, and various mysterious visions intertwining.

"Everyone, clear out!" The two clan heirs were arrogantly cocky, clearing the field before even arriving, afraid the Hong Huang army might accidentally take out Ye Chen and Ji Ning Shuang.

To their credit, their words worked. The Hong Huang warriors who were about to attack retreated to the sides, happy to let the clan heirs handle it—who wanted to throw their lives away foolishly?

In the blink of an eye, the two clan heirs charged in.

Hilariously, both targeted Ye Chen, rushing forward and completely ignoring Ji Ning Shuang.

Ye Chen was amused. Am I the soft target? Does everyone want a piece of me?

Ji Ning Shuang felt awkward. Am I that weak? They won't even look at me.

In reality, they were overthinking it.

It was just that the Saint Body's reputation was too overwhelming—Ye Chen was a professional emperor-slayer. Taking him down would make them famous across the heavens, and all his supreme honors would transfer to them.

In short, it was vanity at play.

Ji Ning Shuang moved, crossing the sky to intercept Tian Xie Di Zi. As agreed, it was two against two!

"Get lost—I have no interest in you," Tian Xie Di Zi snorted coldly, slamming down a heaven-flipping seal.

Ji Ning Shuang didn't respond, shattering the seal with a palm.

Tian Xie was shaken back, surprised. He'd heard of Dong Shen's fame but didn't know her power was this strong.

For a moment, he took a keen interest in Ji Ning Shuang.

Taking a closer look, hey? This woman isn't bad-looking. Maybe he could capture her as a consort. Men all liked beauties, especially the top beauty of Dong Huang.

"Interesting." Tian Xie licked his lips and attacked with his magical tool.

Ji Ning Shuang remained expressionless, waving her jade arm to manifest Dao laws, clashing bare-handed with the tool.

Boom!

With a resounding crash, Tian Xie's magical tool was flipped away by her palm.

Now, Tian Xie wasn't calm anymore. The tool was linked to its owner, and Ji Ning Shuang's palm shook him hard, forcing him to stagger back a step. Before he could steady himself, her finger thrust through the air.

Tian Xie didn't dare be careless and countered with a secret technique.

The two engaged in fierce combat instantly.

On the other side, Jin Ni got his wish and reached Ye Chen, grinning viciously. "I will cut you down."

"Everyone who says that is waiting for you on the Yellow Springs Road," Ye Chen sneered and struck with a palm.

Jin Ni was straightforward, clenching his golden fist to meet Ye Chen head-on.

Thunder boomed. The arrogant Jin Ni from moments ago was sent spitting blood in an instant, his hand exploding as he staggered back, each step cracking the space beneath his feet.

"How is he so strong?" Jin Ni's face changed. Based on this strike, he was completely outmatched.

"You're still a step behind Qiong Qi." Ye Chen stepped through the void and closed in, swinging his sword.

"Arrogant!" Jin Ni instantly healed his hand, summoning a shield to block.

This block sent him stumbling, nearly to his knees, as he spat blood again.

"How is that possible?" The watching Jin Ni clan members suddenly paled. Their clan heir was revered as a clan deity, worshiped for generations, yet he was utterly defeated in just two exchanges.

"How is that possible?" The Tian Xie clan was also shocked, watching Ji Ning Shuang and Tian Xie Di Zi's side. Jin Ni Di Zi hadn't knelt, but Tian Xie Di Zi had—he was forced to his knees by Ji Ning Shuang's strike.

That scene was glaring to the Tian Xie clan.

Their clan heir was the Tian Xie clan's pride—he had only knelt to a Great Emperor. When had he ever knelt to anyone else?

Yet, under everyone's gaze, their clan heir knelt.

Shame—this was shame, not just for Tian Xie Di Zi, but for the entire Tian Xie Great Emperor.

"Kill!" Tian Xie Di Zi roared, springing up and transforming into his true form on the spot.

"Kill!" Jin Ni Di Zi was also furious, steadying himself and activating a forbidden law, his power surging instantly. His momentum was overwhelmingly fierce, even shredding his upper clothes to reveal golden arms, his bare torso etched with thunder god patterns—the marks of his divine repository.
