Chapter 762: Precise Calculation

"How dare you mention my grandmaster?" Dan Yi and the others erupted in fury.

"Of course I will mention him." Dan Mo's face twisted into a grotesque expression. "I am the lord of Dan Cheng, and it's all because of him that I became neither human nor ghost. From the day I left Dan Cheng, it was destined to be drenched in blood."

"You're truly pathetic," Dan Chen said coldly.

"Pathetic? I don't think so at all." Dan Mo laughed wildly without restraint. "For some reason, seeing the despair on your faces reminds me of Dan Xuan and Dan Zhen. They had the same expressions back then."

"You—"

"This guy must be at least two thousand years old. How has he lived so long? From what I can tell, he must have self-sealed his cultivation; otherwise, he'd have died of old age long ago." As Dan Chen and the others shouted in anger at Dan Mo, Ye Chen glanced at him briefly before turning his attention to the barrier.

"There are ninety-nine array points, and each one is controlled by a peak Kong Ming realm expert." Ye Chen stroked his chin. "The only way to break the barrier is to attack from outside. Eliminate one person, and the array point will be damaged."

"The problem is, how do we get out?" Ye Chen muttered quietly to himself.

Hmm?

As he pondered, Ye Chen glanced toward the dark space in the distance, where he spotted a graceful figure watching anxiously. It was undoubtedly Xuan Nu.

Earlier, he had brought Xuan Nu to assist Dan Chen and the others in surrounding Dan Mo, but considering her strength, he hadn't let her join the fight. Unexpectedly, she had followed them here.

"Silly girl, don't do anything reckless." Seeing Xuan Nu about to risk her life, Ye Chen quickly sent a voice transmission, knowing that while her alchemy skills were extraordinary, her combat abilities were terribly weak. If she jumped in foolishly, she'd be taken out in one blow.

"What can I do?" Xuan Nu asked hastily, her face pale.

"Go to Dan Cheng and get reinforcements."

"Get reinforcements?" Xuan Nu furrowed her brows. "Even at top speed, going to Dan Cheng and back would take at least an hour. You and my master won't last half that time—it's not enough!"

"Trust me, I can hold out until then." Ye Chen sent another voice transmission urgently. "All you need to do is get back as quickly as possible and bring as many strong experts as you can. Don't bother with anyone below Kong Ming realm cultivation."

"You're trapped too—how will you hold out?"

"I have my own methods. Just believe in me." Ye Chen flashed a row of white teeth in a confident smile.

Although the sky was dark, Xuan Nu could see his expression from afar. Ye Chen's words were full of confidence, making her trust him without question. She knew this young man who had created miracles before would do so again.

"Wait for me." Xuan Nu took a deep breath, slowly backed away, then suddenly turned and flew toward Dan Cheng at full speed.

After watching Xuan Nu leave, Ye Chen looked back at the barrier outside, his gaze finally settling on a black-clad figure in the southeast direction.

"Using me as the origin point: southeast two hundred zhang, directly above thirty zhang, three-point positioning." Ye Chen silently calculated the distance and direction, his thoughts racing as if computing something.

"It's you." A cold smile curved at the corner of Ye Chen's mouth.

Naturally, his precise calculations had a purpose—he planned to enter the space black hole again.

By moving through the space black hole, calculating the exact position and distance, and then emerging from it, everything would go smoothly according to his plan. The moment he exited, he could instantly kill the Kong Ming realm peak expert at southeast two hundred zhang, directly above thirty zhang.

Once that Kong Ming realm expert was eliminated, the Jiu Jiu Feng Tian barrier's array would no longer be complete. With him stirring things up, he could quickly help Dan Chen and the others break free.

Once they escaped the barrier, they'd have a fighting chance. As long as they held out until reinforcements from Dan Cheng arrived, victory would be theirs.

"Hope nothing goes wrong in the space black hole; otherwise, the consequences would be bad." Thinking this, Ye Chen suddenly activated his Liu Dao Xian Lun eye without another word and used the Xian Lun Tian Dao technique, pulling his entire body into the space black hole.

Hmm?

Seeing Ye Chen vanish in an instant, Dan Mo frowned again in the void. "What kind of secret technique is this?"

He clearly remembered the scene when Ye Chen had saved Xuan Nu—two living people had disappeared without a trace, and even the linked rune chains connecting life and death had been severed.

Now, with Ye Chen disappearing again, Dan Mo had a bad premonition.

Like him, Dan Chen and the others exchanged bewildered glances. Ye Chen's methods were beyond their comprehension—a person vanishing into thin air was something they couldn't do.

At that moment, Ye Chen had already steadied himself inside the space black hole.

Using me as the origin point!

Ye Chen stood firm.

Southeast direction two hundred zhang!

Silently reciting in his mind, he stepped two hundred zhang toward the southeast before stopping.

Directly above thirty zhang!

With that, his body rose thirty zhang and steadied again.

Zheng!

As he drew the Chi Xiao Jian with a flip of his hand, a piercing zheng sound rang out. "Exiting from here will put me right at that Kong Ming realm expert's position."

Calculating in his mind, he took a deep breath, enduring the stinging pain in his Xian Lun eye, and once again used the Xian Lun Tian Dao technique.

The instant he emerged from the space black hole, he swung the Chi Xiao Jian fiercely.

Hmm?

The Kong Ming realm black-clad figure still maintaining the array point felt a bone-chilling wind suddenly assault him, and his face changed drastically. In the next moment, he saw a red killing sword slashing diagonally toward his neck.

"This—" The Kong Ming realm expert's eyes bulged visibly, his pupils shrinking to pinpricks. Everything happened too fast; the red killing sword appeared out of nowhere, giving him no time to react.

Pu!

Blood sprayed as the man's head was severed on the spot. Even in death, he felt indignant—a Kong Ming realm cultivator, killed without even seeing his attacker.

Hmm?

Dan Mo and the remaining black-clad figures tensed, everything happening too quickly for them to react. How had a perfectly fine person suddenly lost his head?

"Assassination successful." In the void space, Ye Chen chuckled to himself.

"Who was it?" Dan Mo roared in fury, his already grotesque face twisting further. An assassination of a Kong Ming realm peak expert right under his nose was a blatant humiliation, and worse, he hadn't even seen who did it.

"That kid Ye Chen is incredible!" Inside the barrier, Dan Yi couldn't help but exclaim in shock. Dan Mo might not know, but they did—the attacker must have been the mysteriously vanished Ye Chen.

"How did he get out?" The hot-tempered elder from Dan Cheng stared in astonishment at that direction.

"Calculating so precisely and killing a Kong Ming realm peak expert in one strike—his methods are truly dominant." Dan Chen took a deep breath, as if seeing a glimmer of hope for escape.

Buzz!

With the Kong Ming realm expert killed and the array point damaged, the entire barrier trembled.

Attack the southeast!

Dan Chen and the others struck out, unleashing powerful divine abilities and bombarding that direction.
