Chapter 536: Duel with a Quasi-Celestial

"Gǔ Sān Tōng, a hundred years have passed, and your brain still isn't working well." In the void, the blood-haired youth sneered mockingly. "Do you really think you can destroy me with just one Tiān Léi? You're daydreaming."

This blood-haired youth was the most terrifying, his aura swallowing the heavens, with a blood sea vision behind him. Rolling waves of bloody tides carried struggling resentful spirits, emitting bone-chilling wails that made one's hair stand on end.

"And you brought along a Líng Xū Realm cultivator. Tsk tsk." The demonic woman curled her blood-red lips. Her figure was extraordinarily alluring, her pair of blood-colored eyes flashing with a mesmerizing light that made it hard to look directly at her.

"What pure qi and blood." The three-eyed youth stared at Yè Chén, licking his scarlet tongue with a greedy expression. Around his neck hung a string of beads, each one a small skull, and his third eye gleamed with an eerie blood-colored light.

"You three scum." Yè Chén glanced at the void, then secretly transmitted a message to Gǔ Sān Tōng. "When the fight starts, hold off two of them. Leave the remaining one to me. Once I take him down, I'll come help you."

"But that's a Zhǔn Tiān Realm expert. In a direct confrontation, you're no match."

"Trust me. It will work out."

"Gǔ Sān Tōng, hand over your life!" As they spoke, the blood-haired youth charged down from the void, blood light rapidly gathering in his palm, with skull phantoms appearing within it, directly pressing toward Gǔ Sān Tōng.

Buzz!

Gǔ Sān Tōng immediately drew his magical artifact iron sword, channeling his thoughts to wrap it in Tiān Léi. This instantly boosted the iron sword's power to its peak.

Thud!

Gǔ Sān Tōng's sword cleaved through the blood-haired youth's palm strike.

On the other side, the demonic woman's attack arrived. She lightly raised her jade arm, pointing her jade hand at Gǔ Sān Tōng, unleashing a brilliant blood-colored divine light that pierced straight through his body.

The battle erupted in an instant, with the blood-haired youth and the demonic woman teaming up against Gǔ Sān Tōng.

Bang!

Boom!

The three of them soared into the high void, their terrifying battle fluctuations making the entire void rumble.

It was clear that under the combined suppression of the two, Gǔ Sān Tōng was completely at a disadvantage. The blood-haired youth and the demonic woman's divine abilities were extremely uncanny, complementing each other perfectly with no flaws. Even with Tiān Léi and the magical artifact iron sword aiding him, Gǔ Sān Tōng was beaten back relentlessly for the moment.

"Da Chu truly hides dragons and crouching tigers!" Yè Chén watched, clicking his tongue in amazement.

"Your qi and blood will be mine." The three-eyed youth had already locked onto Yè Chén, his face twisting into a ferocious grin.

"I'd like to see if you can handle it." Yè Chén snorted coldly and turned to escape into the void space.

Seeing this, the three-eyed youth tore open the void space with one hand and stepped inside.

In the pitch-black void space, the two stood facing each other at a distance.

"I'll make your death a comfortable one." The three-eyed youth advanced slowly, a blood sea vision trailing behind him, with rolling tides carrying the wails of fierce ghosts. Just listening to it made one's mind feel dazed.

"Then give it a try." Yè Chén scoffed, stepping forward and drawing the Bá Lóng Blade, slashing down a five-zhang-long blade light.

"The demon clan's Ba Huang Slash." Spotting Yè Chén's powerful technique, the three-eyed youth showed a hint of surprise.

But the surprise lasted only a moment. He swung his palm to meet the golden blade light.

Clang!

A metallic clash rang out, and Yè Chén was sent flying backward. The three-eyed youth's hand was incredibly tough, and despite Yè Chén's peak strike, it ended in utter defeat.

This was the gap in cultivation levels—their combat powers were on entirely different tiers.

Yè Chén understood this well. Although he had assassinated two Zhǔn Tiān Realm experts before, those were sneak attacks. In a head-on fight against a Zhǔn Tiān Realm opponent, he was still far from ready.

Ba Huang!

After one defeat, Yè Chén's fighting spirit soared even higher. He unleashed Ba Huang Fist with a thunderous boom, infused with various secret techniques, its power overwhelmingly dominant.

"Overestimating yourself." The three-eyed youth smirked dismissively and casually struck out with his palm again, sending Yè Chén flying a second time, with several mouthfuls of golden blood spraying out.

"Damn, his hand might be small, but it packs a punch." Yè Chén cursed inwardly, summoning his innate gang qi armor to protect his entire body.

"Innate gang qi." Seeing the gang qi armor on Yè Chén, the three-eyed youth was surprised once more.

"Clone illusion, activate."

"Eight Trigrams array, activate."

As the three-eyed youth marveled, Yè Chén activated two more secret techniques. Twenty clones, combined with the Eight Trigrams array and innate gang qi, charged straight at him. Yè Chén's qi and blood surged to the heavens, allowing him to unleash a flurry of divine abilities and secret arts.

Tai Ji Evolution of Heaven!

Six Channels Divine Ability!

Flying Heaven Sword Slash!

"Not bad combat power." The three-eyed youth chuckled eerily, baring his white teeth.

In response to Yè Chén's attacks, he simply opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood qi.

This blood qi contained rolling blood fiend energy, forming a sea of blood fiend. Yè Chén's techniques struck the sea like stones sinking into the ocean, having no effect whatsoever. Even his rushing clones were completely swallowed by the blood fiend sea.

Wind God Art!

Just as the three-eyed youth was about to step forward, a cold shout echoed. An indestructible red killing sword pierced through the blood fiend sea, thrusting straight for his brow.

The three-eyed youth narrowed his eyes, not expecting Yè Chén to unleash such a dominant sword strike.

He quickly raised his hand, extending two fingers to clamp Yè Chén's Chì Xiāo Sword precisely, no matter how hard Yè Chén pushed, he couldn't break free from the fingers' restraint.

But things weren't over yet.

As the three-eyed youth moved to shake Yè Chén off, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Take this whip!

Behind him, another Yè Chén soared into the air, gripping the God-Smiting Whip and smashing it down on the three-eyed youth's crown.

Indeed, this Yè Chén was the Dao body from his One Qi Transforms Three Purities technique.

Yè Chén had already manifested this Dao body when he entered the void space, waiting for this moment to launch a surprise attack and deal heavy damage to the three-eyed youth.

And it succeeded. The three-eyed youth hadn't anticipated it and took the hit head-on.

Ugh!

It was painfully satisfying!

The God-Smiting Whip landed solidly on his crown, making his entire mind buzz and causing him to stagger back a few steps. Yè Chén's Wind God Art sword directly pierced his chest.

"You deserve to die." After a brief moment, the three-eyed youth recovered and slapped Yè Chén away.

The palm strike was incredibly powerful, shattering Yè Chén's innate gang qi armor completely and breaking several of his bones, with several more mouthfuls of fresh blood spurting out.

After sending Yè Chén flying, the three-eyed youth whirled around and tore the Dao body in half.

"Is this guy some kind of beast?" Not far away, Yè Chén staggered to his feet, his face pale. Apart from the Immortal Wheel Forbidden Technique, he had used all his abilities, yet he was still thoroughly defeated.

"I'll make you wish you were dead." Amid the surging blood sea, the three-eyed youth advanced slowly, his killing intent soaring.

As the three-eyed youth approached, Yè Chén stood his ground, a cold smile on his lips. "You're so arrogant—wonder if you can handle two Zhǔn Tiān Realm experts."

With that, two figures materialized in front of Yè Chén. Both wore black robes, had empty eyes, and expressionless faces—like two corpses. Though they emitted no aura fluctuations, their presence was extraordinarily vast.

These were the Yin Ming Death Generals Lei Yan and Feng Yi, summoned by Yè Chén.

"Yin Ming Death Generals." The three-eyed youth halted abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief, as if he recognized them and hadn't expected a Líng Xū Realm cultivator like Yè Chén to possess two Zhǔn Tiān Realm Yin Ming Death Generals.
