It grows stronger when faced with a strong opponent; even an Immortal Emperor would have to kneel be

Ye Chen's pupils widened.

It was as if they had heard unbelievable words.

For a moment, he didn't even notice the long sword stuck in his chest; his eyes were filled with intense shock.

The Great Yan Dynasty, the Ye family, Ye Qingxue!

"How could it be you!"

Why are you here?

"And your strength..."

Ye Chen's expression changed rapidly, and countless questions flooded his mind.

He couldn't believe that the woman in front of him was actually Ye Qingxue from back then.

No wonder he felt a vague sense of familiarity; it was her.

The next moment, Ye Qingxue's momentum did not diminish. With a flick of her longsword, she directly shattered Ye Chen's heart meridian.

Ye Chen felt a sharp pain as blood gushed from his chest.

His expression was one of extreme pain.

Ye Chen felt his life force rapidly draining away. He looked at Ye Qingxue, still filled with disbelief.

"How could this be...?"

He never imagined that he would fall into Ye Qingxue's hands.

puff.

A flash of sword light, and Ye Chen's head flew into the sky.

Ye Qingxue's face was full of fierceness at this moment.

Her hatred for Ye Chen had not diminished at all these days, but now that she had personally killed him, a hint of relief appeared on her face.

"Ye Chen, my Ye family has treated you well, yet you betrayed my Ye family. You deserve to die."

Perhaps it was because she had finally gotten rid of the great hatred in her heart, Ye Qingxue felt a sense of relief.

She glanced at Ye Chen's body one last time, then ignored it.

Beside them were Su Bingyun, Yan Sheng, Li Xuan, and the Devouring Beast at the eighth level of the Half-Saint realm.

The four figures clashed fiercely, locked in a close and evenly matched battle.

Su Bingyun and her two companions, along with the Devouring Beast at the eighth level of the Half-Saint realm, were all roughly equal in strength, and for a time they found themselves in a stalemate.

But the next moment, the Devouring Beast roared and its aura suddenly exploded.

Su Bingyun spat out a mouthful of blood, her breath weakened instantly, and she was blasted to the side.

Seeing this, Ye Qingxue quickly helped Su Bingyun up. Su Bingyun had been very good to her, so she naturally couldn't abandon her.

Li Xuan and Yan Sheng, who were fighting each other at this moment, exchanged a glance.

Li Xuan gradually concealed his aura and spoke to Yan Sheng.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, Su Bingyun has already been defeated. Why don't the two of us join forces to kill this Devouring Beast?"

"If we slaughter these weaklings again, will we then be in charge here? We can settle the score later."

Yan Sheng listened to Li Xuan's words, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

"You're right."

Without further hesitation, the two joined forces to launch a fierce attack on the Devouring Beast.

Under the relentless onslaught of the two, the Devouring Beast, a half-saint at the eighth level, was completely defeated.

A scream rang out as Li Xuan cleaved the Devouring Beast's body in two.

Seeing this scene, all the cultivators watching were horrified.

Li Xuan and Yan Sheng have become so powerful.

As ordinary geniuses, the gap between them and these top geniuses is simply too great.

Knowing they couldn't compete with Li Xuan and Yan Sheng, they wisely withdrew from the scene.

At this moment, only Su Bingyun, Ye Qingxue, Li Xuan, Yan Sheng, and some disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Fallen Sun Sect remained on the scene.

Yan Sheng also realized that Ye Chen was dead, but he didn't care at all about a follower.

At his command, countless geniuses were willing to follow him, as many as he desired.

The group then turned their gazes toward Su Bingyun and Ye Qingxue, their expressions hostile and filled with murderous intent.

Although Su Bingyun is the Holy Maiden of the Jade Void Holy Land and the most talented person, this is the Misty Immortal Realm, and the outside world has no idea what happens here.

Even if they kill Su Bingyun, the Jade Void Holy Land can't do anything to them.

As Su Bingyun watched the group approach, she sensed something was amiss. As a peak ninth-level Half-Saint, she could leave as long as she didn't suppress her cultivation level.

But what about Ye Qingxue beside me?

Su Bingyun gritted her teeth and glanced at Ye Qingxue.

She decided to stay here; she absolutely could not abandon Ye Qingxue.

Having spent these days in the Jade Void Holy Land, the two had already become like sisters, so how could they possibly abandon each other?

Ye Qingxue's expression was also solemn. She knew that Li Xuan and Yan Sheng's strength in their fight was far superior to hers.

She was no match for the two of them.

But a moment later, Ye Qingxue thought of something, took out the token from her bosom, and stood in front of Su Bingyun.

He addressed Li Xuan and Yan Sheng.

"Don't come any closer! If you dare to come any closer, I'll summon my master."

"If my master comes out, things will get very difficult, and you will all die!"

Ye Qingxue gripped the token tightly in her hand and said coldly.

Li Xuan and Yan Sheng exchanged a glance after hearing Ye Qingxue's threatening words.

It's a big joke.

If they remembered correctly, the Ye Qingxue in front of them was the disciple of that arrogant and fearless young man in white robes who had been outside.

Then her master was naturally that young man in white robes.

"Heh, you mean that clueless, mentally unstable white-robed kid from back then?"

Yan Sheng sneered, completely unconcerned.

Li Xuan was the same, as were the disciples following behind them.

Previously, Chen Ping was too arrogant, treating these top forces as nothing, and even staged a scene of master and disciple meeting there.

They had long disliked Chen Ping, but they couldn't make a move because there were too many people present at the time.

Listening to his apprentices boasting about him, they found it utterly ridiculous.

"Heh, you'd better call your master over here, I'll kill him too."

Yan Sheng sneered.

The next moment, his body transformed into flames and charged towards Ye Qingxue.

Su Bingyun's pupils widened. She was now seriously injured and had no way to resist Yan Sheng.

As Yan Shengchao drew closer to Ye Qingxue, Su Bingyun succumbed to despair.

Just as Yan Sheng was about to approach Ye Qingxue, at that very moment, the token in Ye Qingxue's hand suddenly flashed.

The next moment, a very familiar figure in white robes appeared.

The sudden scene startled everyone around, and they recognized him.

This person was none other than the young man in white robes from back then, who was also Ye Qingxue's master.

However, he is now just a phantom, completely transparent, with empty eyes and no consciousness.

"It appears to be an avatar, and a low-ranking one at that."

Li Xuan looked at Chen Ping's clone and spoke.

He recognized it; this was the lowest-level clone, which could only be created by those below the Tribulation Transcending Realm. Not only could it only exert 1% of the original body's strength, but it also had no consciousness whatsoever.

They can only act according to the commands set by the main body.

If a Saint King realm cultivator creates an avatar, the avatar can unleash one-tenth of the original's strength.

Moreover, the true self will consciously project itself onto this clone.

You can see everything that's happening here clearly.

This is a high-level clone that only advanced cultivators are capable of creating.

The fact that this low-level clone is present indicates that the original body that created it is also weak, with strength not exceeding the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

Li Xuan scoffed. How could such a trash clone possibly stop Yan Sheng?

That's absolutely hilarious.

Su Bingyun showed despair. She naturally knew that this was a clone, and a low-level clone at that.

She lowered her head, unable to bear watching what was about to happen.

Yan Sheng naturally knew the ins and outs of the matter, but he showed no disdain and continued to reach out to grab Ye Qingxue.

But the next moment, Chen Ping raised his hand and casually slashed out with his sword.

A peerless sword light appeared out of thin air.

Yan Sheng's eyes widened instantly.

The next moment, Yan Sheng was split in two.
