"Alright, since brother Sun didn't disappoint me, I, Ye Chen, won't disappoint brother Sun either." Ye Chen had chosen to save Sun Tianlang with the intention of making use of him. After all, saving the latter wouldn't require much effort, and he believed that the latter would have some suspicions.
At this moment, Ye Chen had truly acknowledged Sun Tianlang as a companion.
"I don't know where your confidence comes from, but in my opinion, it's foolish." Wind Storm King spoke.
As a half-step King at the same level as Punishment King, Wind Storm King was a nameless existence. However, those who knew his bottom line wouldn't dare to look down on him. It should be known that half-step Kings were divided into several levels. There were ordinary half-step Kings, well-known half-step Kings, and peak half-step Kings. Above peak half-step Kings were the scarce few 'strongest' half-step Kings. Although Wind Storm King might not have the strength of a peak half-step King, he was definitely the closest. Not to mention that Ye Chen was only at late Sea of Soul realm, even a peak half-step King wouldn't be able to take him down in a short time.
Moreover, Wind Storm King had calculated that Ye Chen's strength would at most reach the level of a well-known half-step King. The temporary state of being one with the world wouldn't allow Ye Chen's profound to improve too much. A ten percent increase in each would already be the limit.
"Wind Storm King, I'll deal with this kid. You stay on guard from the side."
Iron Hand King clenched his fists, letting out a metallic sound.
"Don't worry, they won't be able to escape even if they grow wings."
Wind Storm King formed seals with both of his hands, and one wind wall after another spread out like concentric circles.
"Kid, you can die …"
Seeing that Wind Storm King had already sealed off the scene, Iron Hand King's face revealed a sinister expression as he gloomily stared at Ye Chen. However, before he could finish his words, he discovered that Ye Chen was already less than ten meters away from him. The latter waved his hand, and countless cutting power enveloped him, hard to perceive with naked eyes.
The sharp cutting power caused the Iron Hand King to feel a chill run down his spine. His pupils involuntarily contracted into two dots, and a trace of shock appeared on his face.
Ye Chen's sudden attack had already caught him off guard. What shocked him even more was that he could not even see the trajectory of the sword Qi. He could only vaguely sense that the space was filled with the power of slicing. Each slice of power was extremely threatening, and all of this happened in the blink of an eye. It was extremely fast.
"This kid must not be allowed to leave alive."
As a veteran half-step King, Iron Hand King's strength was even higher than Ghost Wood King and Gopher King. His reaction speed was not something the two could compare to. Almost subconsciously, he crossed his arms in front of his body. At the same time, the Protective Zhen Yuan outside his body was strengthened to the limits of his control. Bronze runes spread out from his armor and stuck to his Protective Zhen Yuan.
Clang clang clang clang!
In the next instant, countless sparking arcs appeared on the surface of Iron Hand King's Protective Zhen Yuan. Most of the arcs were on his chest, interweaving together.
"Pseudo supreme grade defensive artifact!"
Ye Chen squinted his eyes. His Spiritual Sword contained the wood profound and fast profound, reaching sixty percent and fifty percent completion respectively. Adding his cultivation base having broken through to late Sea of Soul realm, his Zhen Yuan's purity was even higher. The might of the Spiritual Sword was several times stronger than before. The Protective Zhen Yuan of a half-step King would not be able to completely block it.
"Haha, you've truly given me a big shock. However, I have the bronze armor protecting my body. I'm naturally undefeatable. Let's see how you break my defense."
Iron Hand King laughed loudly with an ostentatious expression. However, he was inwardly shocked.
If he did not have the bronze armor, he would not have the slightest confidence in defending against this sword. This sword was simply too fast and too sharp. He could not imagine how Ye Chen had suddenly become so powerful. It was as if he had become a completely different person.
"Pseudo supreme grade defensive artifact indeed lives up to its name. Seems like I'll have to spend some effort." Ye Chen did not expect Iron Hand King to have a pseudo supreme grade defensive artifact. This way, the difficulty of killing the latter would increase by several folds. Fortunately, activating the pseudo supreme grade defensive artifact required a large amount of Zhen Yuan. He did not believe that the opponent could use it endlessly.
"Thunder Devour!"
Since the Spiritual Sword didn't work, Ye Chen used Thunder Devour. A thin layer of black light pellet fiercely stabbed at Iron Hand King's Protective Zhen Yuan like a sharp blade of thunder.
Rumble!
Iron Hand King's feet left the ground and was blasted away. Berserk thunder wrapped around him, making him look like a human-shaped lightning bolt.
"Iron Hand King, do you need me to make a move?"
Wind Storm King's expression turned grave. He almost didn't dare to believe his eyes, thinking that he was hallucinating and everything was fake.
"No need!"
Iron Hand King fiercely stood up and inwardly thought, 'I've underestimated this kid's strength. However, late Sea of Soul realm is late Sea of Soul realm after all. His defense can't be that high. I don't believe that he can withstand my attack.'
"Violent Gold God Fist!"
Stamping his feet on the ground, Iron Hand King's entire body shot up and punched at Ye Chen, who was a hundred meters away. Following this punch, countless metal fists appeared in the void. A large number of metal fists crazily smashed out like tornadoes.
Iron Hand King's strength was displayed without a doubt at this moment.
"Iron Hand King, you'll die without a doubt today."
If the opponent did not have a pseudo supreme grade defensive artifact, he would have died long ago. However, Ye Chen was not anxious. Iron Hand King's Zhen Yuan was limited, and he could not use it for long. Generally speaking, a half-step King's Zhen Yuan could use a pseudo supreme grade offensive artifact three to five times, while a pseudo supreme grade defensive artifact could only be used for a cup of tea's worth of time.
Facing this punch, Ye Chen waved his Thunder Disaster Sword, and a dark golden ripple blossomed in the void, shattering the metal fists.
"What? His metal profound has also improved so much?"
Iron Hand King had always thought that Ye Chen's Spiritual Sword and Thunder Devour were so powerful because of his great luck. In the past, it was not like there had been no one who had advanced one or two profounds by leaps and bounds under the state of being one with the world, but it was only one or two. However, up until now, Ye Chen had already revealed four profounds: wood profound, fast profound, thunder profound, and metal profound. Each of them had improved by leaps and bounds.
"Boundless Gold Ripple!"
Ye Chen did not give Iron Hand King any chance to catch his breath. He waved his Thunder Disaster Sword again and again, sending dark golden ripples toward Iron Hand King, rapidly consuming his Zhen Yuan.
"Wind Storm King, make your move!"
The pressure on Iron Hand King increased greatly. The Zhen Yuan in his body was disappearing like water. The speed at which the Bronze Armor was consuming Zhen Yuan was truly frightening. He could not hold on much longer.
Without needing Iron Hand King's order, Wind Storm King had already made his move. The first move he made was his proudest move, the Storm Spear. A spear light flickered in the void as it pierced toward Ye Chen's forehead.
Ding!
Ye Chen pulled out an upper grade sword with his left hand and cut the Storm Spear in half. He then transmitted his voice to Sun Tianlang and Murong Qingcheng, who wanted to help, "Don't make a move. Watch Jiang Tian."
Either he didn't kill, or he would kill them all.
"Alright!"
Sun Tianlang and Murong Qingcheng halted their steps and secretly locked onto Jiang Tian's figure, guarding against his escape.
"Storm Rain!"
Wind Storm King saw that even his proudest move could do nothing to Ye Chen, so he roared and waved his palm in the air. Storm Spears filled the sky. These Storm Spears only had one-fifth of the original Storm Spear's might, but their quantity was several hundred times more. It was completely capable of winning through sheer quantity.
"Explosive Gold God Fist!"
Iron Hand King didn't care about consuming a huge amount of Zhen Yuan as he performed his most powerful attack. Countless metal fists turned into a torrential rain as they attacked toward Ye Chen. That kind of sound and that kind of violence could probably scare a normal half step king.
At this moment, the two were fighting with their lives on the line. They didn't want Ye Chen to continue living. Right now, Ye Chen was already frightening enough for them.
Facing the two's most powerful attacks, Ye Chen's expression didn't change at all. On the Thunder Disaster Sword, a massive black thunder ball appeared and grew larger and larger until it reached ten meters in diameter. It was like a black sun that didn't give off any light, and all of the thunder power was contained within.
"Go!"
Ye Chen threw out a sword attack toward the center of the two.
Boom!
Sun Tianlang, Murong Qingcheng, and Jiang Tian, who were on the periphery, were all blasted back, their faces pale. Meanwhile, that wind wall was instantly shattered. In the end, boundless thunder power radiated out in all directions with the empty space as the center. The passage connecting the empty space seemed to have become a pipe, completely filled with thunder power. If someone were to come at this moment, they wouldn't have a good time.
Iron Hand King and Wind Storm King bore the brunt of the attack, their feet sliding on the ground. Iron Hand King had the protection of his bronze armor, so he was fine. However, Wind Storm King was in a much more difficult situation. Although he was stronger than Iron Hand King, he didn't have a pseudo supreme grade defensive artifact, so he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of smoking blood.
"This kid is troublesome. Let's go!"
Wind Storm King's complexion was unsightly. He had never thought that he would be forced to this extent by a youngster. This was simply a disgrace.
"You can't escape!"
Ye Chen held his sword with both hands and slashed at Wind Storm King.
A crescent moon shaped sword energy flew out and brushed past Wind Storm King's body.
Puchi!
Wind Storm King's head and left arm separated from his body, blood spraying everywhere. A clear sword mark was left on the pseudo supreme grade defensive artifact.
One sword!
Wind Storm King had fallen.
This sword was indeed Ye Chen's strongest sword move — Waning Moon!
Iron Hand King had a pseudo supreme grade defensive artifact, and Waning Moon might not be able to break through it. However, Wind Storm King was different. He definitely wouldn't be able to block it.
"You actually killed Old Feng!"
Jiang Tian looked at Ye Chen in disbelief. Someone as powerful as Old Feng had been killed by Ye Chen just like that. This made him extremely shocked and numb.
"So be it. It'll be your turn soon."
Ye Chen's tone was indifferent.
"You're dead for sure. Wind Storm King is my master's Air Emperor's right-hand man. Now that you've killed him, no one under the heavens can save you."
Jiang Tian roared and flew toward the nearby passage.
"Stay here!"
Sun Tianlang blocked Jiang Tian's path while Murong Qingcheng surrounded him from the side.
