"Inescapable Net!"
The Ghost Wood King's expression was dull, but it did not mean that his thinking and reaction were dull. Within a split second, he reacted. The muscles on the surface of his body wriggled, and countless vines wrapped in black qi shot out, interweaving into layers and layers of vines, covering towards Ye Chen.
As for himself, he took a step forward and flew toward the outside of the hall.
"Break!"
Facing the huge net of vines, Ye Chen casually waved his sword. A dark golden ripple blossomed like a flower, opening a huge hole in the net. His body flickered, and five sword lights condensed behind Ye Chen's back, chasing after the Ghost Wood King.
"Soul Shattering Destruction!"
The Ghost Wood King threw out a punch, and the spiraling fist energy created an air-piercing sound like a ghost's cry, making people's hair stand on end.
Puff!
If it were in the past, Ye Chen would have definitely been blown away and wounded badly. However, it was different now. Facing this fist attack, Ye Chen only stabbed out with his sword, piercing through the fist power and disappearing it like a bubble. Meanwhile, sparks flew out of the Ghost Wood King's back as a huge amount of internal organs flew out of its mouth.
"Kill!"
Shattering the fist energy, Ye Chen's face turned cold. The Thunder Disaster Sword slashed several times in a trajectory that was invisible to the naked eye.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The Ghost Wood King's figure paused. Then, apart from his torso, his limbs and head were cut into hundreds of pieces, as if a sword net had pierced through his body.
"What? Impossible! It has only been a few days! How could his strength increase to such a level?"
In the corner of the hall, a shadow fluctuated.
Picking up the storage rings of the Ghost Wood King and Gopher King, Ye Chen didn't even look at them as he left the hall and walked toward the other side of the passage.
Swish!
Without any warning, Ye Chen instantly pulled out his sword and put it back into its scabbard.
"You already knew I was here?"
The Shadow Chasing King revealed his figure. His face was deathly pale, and there was a red dot between his eyebrows. He stared at Ye Chen and said with a hoarse voice.
"You're too confident in your hiding ability."
If the Shadow Chasing King left immediately after Ye Chen killed the Gopher King and Ghost Wood King, Ye Chen wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
"Yes, but unfortunately, I won't have the chance."
The Shadow Chasing King's eyes flashed with annoyance as he fell to the ground.
"Iron Hand King, I hope you won't meet me!"
Putting away the Shadow King's storage ring, Ye Chen's eyes flickered with a cold light.
…
There was an empty space in the center of the Firebird King's graveyard. The surroundings of the empty space were connected to various passages, and it was like the center of the entire graveyard.
In the center of the open space, the two sides were facing each other.
On one side was Sun Tianlang and Murong Qingcheng.
On one side were Wind Storm King, Jiang Tian, and Iron Hand King.
"Wind Storm King, we have no enmity with you. Why are you making things difficult for us?" Sun Tianlang searched for Ye Chen and the others in the Fire Bird King's graveyard. The first person he found was Murong Qingcheng. He hadn't expected that the Wind Storm King would stop them for no reason.
The Wind Storm King said indifferently, "You don't have the qualifications to make things difficult for me. If you cut off one of your arms, I can spare your life. As for her, she must stay."
"You've met Ye Chen?"
Murong Qingcheng suddenly said.
Iron Hand King chuckled, "Women being too smart is not a good thing. You just need to be obedient."
"In your dreams!"
Murong Qingcheng's beautiful brows twitched, her eyes filled with killing intent.
"This is not up to you!"
Iron Hand King made a grabbing motion, and a huge iron hand condensed in the void. Its five fingers were like hooks as it shrouded Murong Qingcheng.
"Demonic Finger!"
The black bat wings on Murong Qingcheng's back suddenly flapped, bringing up a huge gust of wind. She borrowed this enormous force and shot out like a sharp arrow, pointing out her finger at the incoming massive iron hand.
Peng!
A small hole appeared in the center of the iron hand. After a slight pause, it still reached over.
"Tiger Roar Palm!"
Sun Tianlang hesitated for a moment before clenching his teeth and striking at the iron hand. Immediately, a tiger's roar resounded as a huge black striped tiger pounced out, shattering the iron hand.
"You dare!"
Iron Hand King looked at Sun Tianlang with killing intent.
Sun Tianlang braced himself and said, "I'm on the same side as her, so I'll naturally make a move. You'd better not reach out for a yard after taking an inch."
"You're courting death! Wind Storm King, how about I leave this person to you?"
Iron Hand King had the confidence to defeat the two, but he didn't want to drag things out.
"Sure!"
Wind Storm King waved his hand, and a black whirlwind attacked Sun Tianlang.
"Run!"
Sun Tianlang was very clear that he wasn't Wind Storm King's opponent. His figure flickered as he shouted at Murong Qingcheng.
"You think you can escape?"
Wind Storm King smiled. All the passages at the edge of the open ground were sealed by the black whirlwinds. More and more black whirlwinds appeared, layer after layer, completely sealing off the open ground. Not to mention ordinary half-step Kings, even a well-known half-step King wouldn't be able to charge in or break out of the encirclement.
"Even if you capture me, you'll have to pay the price. Soul Extinguishing Wave!"
Murong Qingcheng extended her right hand, and a black light sphere condensed. As she clenched her fist, a large amount of black light spread out in a fan shape, attacking the three.
Wind Storm King and Iron Hand King didn't move at all. Jiang Tian's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but take three steps back.
"Eh? Soul attack martial skill? Too bad, its grade is too low."
Wind Storm King was somewhat astonished. How could he not see that Soul Extinguishing Wave was a rare soul attack martial skill? Unfortunately, he and Iron Hand King were both half-step Kings, and their souls had already gradually transformed, producing a layer of soul membrane that could isolate the majority of soul attacks. Although Jiang Tian was not a half-step King, he had cultivated Rune Annihilation Curse, and had a deep understanding of soul attacks.
"Using soul attacks in front of me? Displaying your slight skill before an expert … Rune Puppet Curse!"
Jiang Tian's mouth revealed an evil smile as he muttered an incantation. Immediately, numerous tiny incorporeal runes violently attacked Murong Qingcheng. These incorporeal runes had distorted shapes, looking like human figures. It was extremely strange.
"Didn't expect Tian 'er to have even comprehended Rune Puppet Curse."
Wind Storm King exclaimed. Rune Annihilation Curse was used to attack the soul, while Rune Puppet Curse had a controlling effect. Once the Rune Puppet Curse's runes invaded the mind, one would immediately lose control of their body and life. These two secret arts were not created by Air Emperor himself, but came from Puppet Sect. They were secret arts of Puppet Sect.
Murong Qingcheng's expression changed drastically. Rune Puppet Curse, as the name implied, was used to control people. She didn't want to be controlled by others. With a soft roar, she extended both of her hands and instantly unleashed two Soul Extinguishing Waves. A large amount of black light overlapped and rushed toward the incorporeal runes.
Pfff, pfff, pfff, pfff …
The Soul Extinguishing Wave could attack one's soul, while the Runic Puppet Incantation could control one's soul. Therefore, even if the Soul Extinguishing Wave was not as powerful as the Runic Puppet Incantation, it was still not an easy fight. Fine explosions could be heard in the air as the runes were destroyed one by one.
However, there was still the most powerful incorporeal rune that invaded Murong Qingcheng's mind, occupying the Sea of Soul, attempting to control her soul.
Murong Qingcheng bit the corner of her mouth and blood dripped down. She urged her devil soul to resist this rune, and the sky above her Sea of Soul was dyed a glassy color.
Rumble!
On the other side, Sun Tianlang's situation wasn't very good either. After being hit by Wind Storm King's Fang of Storm, he spat out blood and fell heavily on the ground.
"You guys are too much. Do you really think you can do whatever you want?"
Sun Tianlang said angrily.
"More is yet to come."
Wind Storm King ignored Sun Tianlang's threat. He raised his right hand, and the fierce wind condensed into a storm spear. Once this spear was unleashed, Sun Tianlang would die for sure.
Rip!
Right at this moment, the layers of whirlwinds around the open space were suddenly sliced apart by a fierce sword Qi, emitting a cloth tearing sound.
"Who is it?"
Wind Storm King and the other two looked in that direction.
To be able to tear apart layers of whirlwinds with a single sword strike, even Wind Storm King didn't dare to look down on such strength. They subconsciously thought that a powerful Half step King was passing through this place. Seeing that this place was sealed by whirlwinds, he naturally wouldn't choose to take a detour.
If that was the case, they wouldn't purposely make things difficult for him.
Swish!
A figure flew in, appearing right next to Murong Qingcheng in a flash.
"It's you!"
Jiang Tian blurted out.
"Kid, I didn't expect you to still be alive after being beaten like that. Fine, since you've delivered yourself, don't blame us."
It was impossible for Wind Storm King and Iron Hand King not to be astonished. They knew clearly what kind of injuries Ye Chen had suffered. If it were an ordinary Half step King, they would have died long ago. However, not only had Ye Chen recovered, his cultivation base and strength seemed to have improved greatly.
Of course, the two were only somewhat astonished. No matter how strong Ye Chen was, how strong could he be? They were not ordinary Half step Kings.
"You can leave your last words."
Ye Chen threw out these words, then raised his right hand's index and middle fingers and tapped on Murong Qingcheng's forehead. In the next moment, the Immortal Sword Soul in his Sea of Soul slowly revolved, and waves of Immortal Sword Intent entered her Sea of Soul through his fingertips.
The Immortal Sword Intent was the most mystical sword intent. Although its grade was inferior to the Destruction Sword Intent, its soul defense was far superior. Moreover, Ye Chen didn't dare to invade Murong Qingcheng's Sea of Soul with the Destruction Sword Intent, which would be extremely dangerous. A slight carelessness could destroy her soul.
With the help of the Immortal Sword Intent, Murong Qingcheng finally cleared the puppet runes in her Sea of Soul and opened her eyes.
"Everything's fine now!"
Ye Chen nodded at Murong Qingcheng and turned around.
"Hehe, truly boasting shamelessly."
Iron Hand King seemed to have heard the funniest joke. A week ago, he had been beaten like a dead dog, yet he dared to speak such arrogant words. He didn't know how to laugh at the other. He could only say that the other's stupidity had reached a certain level.
"Ye Chen, don't be forceful."
Sun Tianlang could sense Ye Chen's strength. However, his opponents were not ordinary Half step Kings, but the powerful Wind Storm King and Iron Hand King. The two joining hands were enough to defeat a peak Half step King. At this moment, he could only wait for an opportunity to escape.
"Brother Sun, many thanks."
Ye Chen's tone was sincere. Sun Tianlang could have left by himself, but he didn't do so.
"What are you saying? Although I, Sun Tianlang, am not a good person, I'm still a trustworthy person. How can I go back on my words? I owe you my life."
Sun Tianlang said with a stern expression.
