Chapter One Hundred and Fifteen: Shocked Awake

  Quick dodges, but always just barely avoiding the sword aura that fills the sky. Ahhh! A few miserable cries, the pain of the sword aura tearing through flesh. Ye Chen's black sword strikes the ground, this one sword is his full strength technique, consuming a huge amount of energy. After this one move, Ye Chen becomes extremely weak.

  After this sword, the scene also changed. The three middle-aged men were seriously injured, and two fourth-level old men were also slightly injured. Only Wú Hén and that fifth-level old man did not suffer much damage.

  A fifth-stage elder's sword dispersed the black and white sword energy that was attacking him head-on, and he only received a slight counterattack force. This power is not particularly damaging to a fifth-stage strongman, and it only made him retreat a few steps back.

  As for the traceless pervert's short-distance speed, it allowed him to quickly find gaps in the sword shadows and flash past them, avoiding harm. However, he also broke out in a cold sweat; although his own speed was fast, facing this all-around attack still made him feel very anxious.

  "Hey, brother, when you're going to make a big move, say something, okay? Even I almost got killed." Wu Hen's loud shout made the weak Ye Chen's eyebrows furrow in annoyance, wishing that Wu Hen had been killed earlier.

  Feng Kun was enraged, and almost hurt himself. The long sword in his hand emitted a 10-meter-long sword energy from top to bottom, wanting to solve Ye Chen and Hua Feng together to vent his hatred.

  The sword energy came from top to bottom, a majestic momentum suddenly opened up, forcing the two of them to make a defensive move. Ye Chen's internal energy was almost depleted, and facing this blow, he had the heart but not the strength. Hua Feng blocked in front of Ye Chen, with pale white sword energy spreading over his long sword, the pressure even more intense.

  Jianmo Sect only has one sword manual, and another is the Sword Way, but the Sword Way is not something that Huafeng can cultivate. His talent is not enough, and he hasn't reached the level of seeking the way yet. Even if he looks at it, he won't understand it. However, Jianmo Sect's Sword Ink Manual is something that he can understand.

  Hua Feng has been practicing the sword and ink technique since he was a child, and all the sword techniques he uses are from that one secret book. However, Hua Feng can only skillfully use the first few moves, and even those have not reached perfection.

  Facing an enemy much stronger than himself, Huafeng could only display the swordsmanship he had never tried before. The pale white sword energy reflected on Huafeng's serious face, and the pale white sword energy actually turned black gradually during its operation.

  From pale white to dark black, these two opposing transformations made the sword energy unleashed by Hua Feng even more enormous. The intense aura was so powerful that even the fifth-stage sword energy seemed to be dissolving. Just as the massive sword energy unleashed by the fifth-stage elder was about to attack Hua Feng, it had almost been dissolved away.

  The dark sword energy was like that of a king, all other sword energies would bow their heads when they met it, just like subjects meeting their monarch. This innate suppression was extremely powerful, even the sword energy three stages higher was dissipating.

  The dark sword energy did not stop rotating, and directly went towards Feng Chui, with an unparalleled momentum, causing Feng Chui's face to change greatly. Without using sword energy, he directly attacked the dark sword energy with his long sword.

  The sword energy would be dissipated, but the long sword wouldn't. Feng had been in battle for so many years and his experience was exceptionally rich. Faced with this sword energy, although he hadn't seen it before, relying on his experience, Feng still managed to execute a sword move with the long sword in the shortest amount of time, even attaching the sword energy onto the surface of the long sword.

  Feng Nang's long sword withstood the dark black sword energy, but what pained Feng Nang was that his own sword was actually severed by the opponent's dark black sword energy. If not for Feng Nang's instincts as a fifth-stage strong practitioner facing this crisis, perhaps he would have been cut open by a single sword.

  Feng Kun was enraged, and with a swift movement, he struck out with his palm towards Hua Feng. Hua Feng barely managed to execute this move, just like Ye Chen, exhausting his internal energy in the process. Challenging someone of a higher rank was indeed an extremely difficult task.

  Being able to slightly harm this fifth-stage elder is already enough to be proud of. Facing the elder who rushed over directly, Huafeng could only smile helplessly. Master, fellow disciples, from now on you can only take care of yourselves. Huafeng is incompetent. If there's a next life, let Huafeng become the disciple of his master again, and the senior brother of his junior brothers.

  Hua Feng was extremely calm at this moment, although he had a lot of regrets in his heart, but what he had to face, he still had to face. Hua Feng did not dodge, and Ye Chen did not recover within this short period of time. The internal force in his body was like a drop in the bucket, and it didn't have any effect at all.

  "Old man, you can't just stand by and do nothing, can you?" Ye Chen shouted in his heart, watching as Hua Feng was about to be shot because he had blocked the way for him. Ye Chen couldn't bear to see him die.

  Although he himself didn't have much strength, the actual power of Jiang Lao within his body was something Ye Chen looked up to. Just thinking about how the seven illusory shadows released back then could injure the purple flower, that purple flower's defensive capabilities were astonishingly strong! Ye Chen was clear about it, at the very least it was above the Fusion Realm, yet such a powerful defense was still injured in front of Jiang Lao, just how powerful was Jiang Lao?

  Although Ye Chen knew in his heart, the cultivation method of Huajian Jue was special. Even if Jiang Lao wanted to pass on his own martial arts, he couldn't cultivate it himself, so he didn't have any intention of hitting Jiang Lao.

  The two of them got along quite happily, of course this was what Ye Chen thought in his heart, whether Jiang Lao felt the same way, Ye Chen didn't know. If Ye Chen knew that he had signed a master-servant contract with Yu Hun Zhong, then it's unknown if Ye Chen would still think this way.

  However, at this moment, Ye Chen couldn't think of any other way to deal with Feng Kui, and the only thing he could think of was this powerful Yuanshen Bell.

  Ye Chen shouted loudly in his heart, Ye Chen believed that Old Jiang also knew the situation in front of him and the words he shouted would be helpful.

  But what made Ye Chen's heart cool was that Old Jiang knew, but refused to help. "Kid, you're thinking of relying on external forces for just this little bit of trouble? What will you do when you encounter even bigger troubles in the future? I can help you now, but I'm not omnipotent either. Every time I help you, the power of the Yuanshen Bell weakens a bit, and its effect becomes smaller and smaller. Are you sure you want me to help you now?"

  After hearing Jiang Lao's words, Ye Chen was suddenly shocked in his heart. His previous confidence and fearlessness were because he knew that Jiang Lao existed in his body and also knew Jiang Lao's strength, so he wasn't very worried about these people.

  But Jiang Lao's words suddenly awakened Ye Chen, who realized that he had been relying on Jiang Lao too much. Whenever he encountered a little difficulty, the idea of challenging himself would fade away, and he would think of seeking help instead. This might be okay once or twice, but if it continued like this, he would definitely lose his courage to charge forward and his perseverance in the face of difficulties.

  This is not what I wanted for myself. I still haven't seen Ye Xue, and I need to take care of her. I want my sister to be the happiest in heaven and on earth. Am I supposed to give up here?

  "No!" Ye Chen suddenly let out a loud shout, his entire body filled with an unknown surge of energy, filling him with fighting spirit.

  With a swift movement of his body, the black long knife shot out like a long sword, its speed so fast that it produced a piercing sound as if it had torn through the air.
