"Five, Thunder, Heavenly, Technique!"
Li Chen shouted in the air, holding up a Thunder Light Ball, which, like a blazing sun, exploded with dazzling brilliance, crashing down towards Jian Chen below.
"Crack!"
Thousands of thunders erupted, as if the Thunder God's wrath, dead souls' curses, roaring in rage, attempted to destroy everything in the world.
"What a powerful Thunder Skill!"
The person who exclaimed was Lei Feng, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, known as the foremost in Thunder Cultivation.
At this moment, Jian Chen dared not be careless, he countered by summoning the Divine Weapon, the Dragon Slayer Sword, and used their strongest sword technique from Heavenly Sword Mountain.
"Silent Annihilation Slash!"
Jian Chen's True Yuan suddenly surged, luminescence swirling around him, and the Dragon Slayer Sword lengthened against the wind, transforming into a gigantic dragon shadow spanning across the void.
The giant dragon roared towards the sky, carrying earth-shattering power, like the waters of the Yellow River coming down from the heavens, rushing straight at Li Chen.
"Boom!"
"Crash!"
The dragon shadow and lightning collided in the air, with countless sparks of lightning, thunderous roars, resembling fireworks blooming during the Lantern Festival, radiant and dazzling, the scene was spectacular, truly breathtaking.
After a fierce collision, the giant dragon suddenly opened its huge mouth, letting out a roar that echoed through the heavens and earth.
Under its ferocious impact, countless Thunder Light Balls shattered into nothingness.
Thus, the previously unrivaled Five Thunders Heavenly Technique had become a spent force.
Unless Li Chen has another secret move to turn the tables, his defeat is only a matter of time.
While everyone's hearts were in their throats, secretly breaking out in cold sweat for Li Chen, they saw Li Chen rise skyward, his body swiftly breaking the sound barrier, reaching thirty times the speed of sound, directly bypassing Jian Chen, heading towards Ye Xing behind him.
The speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, thirty times the speed of sound is equivalent to crossing 10,200 meters, or ten kilometers, in one second.
And the straight-line distance from Li Chen to Ye Xing was only two to three kilometers at most, so it took him less than 0.3 seconds to reach Ye Xing's front.
"I said before, a blood debt must be paid in blood!"
Before the murderous words reached Ye Xing's ears, Li Chen had already raised his palm violently, slamming it down on Ye Xing's top of the skull.
"Boom!"
"Puff!"
Li Chen's speed was so fast that Ye Xing couldn't react in time, astonishingly spraying a mouthful of blood. His pupils widened in horror as his life quickly faded, his body collapsing to the ground, never to rise again.
Jian Chen never expected Li Chen to suddenly turn around and kill Ye Xing at this critical moment.
He was completely unprepared for it, and when he realized the dire situation, it was already too late for regret!
Seeing Li Chen killing his apprentice Ye Xing right under his nose, Jian Chen was utterly enraged.
"Damn it, you little Li Chen. If I don't kill you today, I swear I'm not a person!"
Li Chen knew very well that he was no match for the late-stage Nascent Soul Jian Chen. Otherwise, he wouldn't have resorted to this feigned attack to lure Jian Chen away while assassinating Ye Xing.
So, when he saw Jian Chen coming at him with Thunderous Fury, he didn't clash head-on but instead rose into the sky, narrowly dodging Jian Chen's sword.
Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Tian Yazi, Little Demon Immortal, and Heng Mountain Ancestor all wore complex expressions.
Before this, the three sides had already reached a tacit agreement that the matters of the younger generation would be settled by themselves, and none of the elders were to intervene.
But now, the Sect Leader Jian Chen from Heavenly Sword Mountain suddenly attacked Li Chen, breaking the delicate balance that existed before.
Suddenly, the recently clear situation became tense again.
Heng Mountain Ancestor and Little Demon Immortal exchanged glances.
This was the Jiuzhou Hinterland, the base of the True Immortal Alliance, with all masters from the Ten Great Heavenly Sects and the Four Great Super Sects present.
Their overall strength far surpassed the Demon Clan and the Demon Sect Great Powers.
If a real battle broke out, whether it was the Demon Clan or the Demon Sect against the top experts of the Ten Great Heavenly Sects and the Four Great Super Families, it would surely mean defeat.
The Demon Sect and the Demon Clan had previously not cooperated and even had some conflicting interests. But now, the situation was dire, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend.
Only by uniting could they have the strength to stand against the massive True Immortal Alliance.
"Your Highness, this Immortal Sect Martial Arts Competition is so exciting. How about our two families join forces to face the True Immortal Alliance's Great Powers?"
Heng Mountain Ancestor was the first to speak up.
His Demon Sect and the True Immortal Alliance had long been at irreconcilable odds, and the humiliation of the destruction of his base and the loss of his body sixty years ago was still fresh in his memory.
This time, if Jian Chen and the others obtained the Yu Emperor's Treasure Cauldron, it would be a disaster for the Demon Sect.
If Tian Yazi and others discovered the means to break his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Mysterious Seat, from that Yu Emperor's Treasure Cauldron, it would mean not only the destruction of the body but possibly the annihilation of the Divine Soul, forever doomed.
Therefore, he needed to act before Jian Chen completely defeated Li Chen.
Seeing Li Chen's imminent defeat, Little Demon Immortal knew he might not hold on for long without intervention.
Thus, when Heng Mountain Ancestor proposed an alliance, Little Demon Immortal didn't hesitate and chuckled.
"Hehe, to be honest with you, Your Highness, I had the same idea. To hunt on Tianmang Mountain with you is truly one of life's great pleasures!"
With some friendly banter, Heng Mountain Ancestor and Little Demon Immortal easily settled the matter of their alliance.
"Jian Chen, you vile creature, as the Sect Leader of Heavenly Sword Mountain, how can you be so shameless as to bully the weak, attacking my apprentice? Today, let me face you!"
Heng Mountain Ancestor roared in the air, activated his seat, emitting an eerie, ancient green glow, aggressively charging towards Jian Chen.
Jian Chen, well aware of Heng Mountain Ancestor's methods, dared not underestimate him at all. He promptly abandoned Li Chen and brandished the Dragon Slayer Sword, with dragon chants resounding, roaring skyward, directly confronting him.
With Heng Mountain Ancestor blocking Jian Chen, Li Chen's pressure suddenly eased, and he exhaled a long breath.
At this moment, he could care less about this old man's verbal advantage over him.
He had been constantly fleeing and was utterly exhausted, needing a moment to catch his breath.
However, before Li Chen had a moment to rest, a piercing coldness suddenly approached.
"Rapist, return my Ice Soul!"
