This sword light was extremely dazzling, and the timing was perfect. It was when Ye Xingchen had fallen into an ethereal state, and his perception of the outside world was at its weakest.
The sword energy was incomparably sharp, as if it could cut through the sky.
Dang!
When the sword energy was about to reach the back of Ye Xingchen's head, a silver-white sword accurately blocked the sword energy. It was the White Emperor Sword.
The White Emperor Sword shook, and the sword energy collapsed.
There were many martial artists in the Green Emperor Dao Rite. For the sake of the Green Emperor's inheritance, they would use any method. Before Ye Xingchen comprehended the Great Dao of Wood, he naturally would not make any preparations.
"Chi!"
Ye Xingchen controlled the White Emperor Sword with his mind. The sword energy was vast and boundless, like a white waterfall that swept across the sky.
Puff!
The person hiding in the dark to sneak attack Ye Xingchen was immediately injured by the sword energy, and he retreated with blood all over his body.
It was a woman in tight clothes. Her eyes were cold and sinister, and she looked like an assassin. At this moment, there was a trace of shock on her face.
She had hidden in the dark to attack, and yet she had been blocked. Moreover, the other party's sword energy had swept out and injured her.
"An assassin from the Asura Sea!" Someone recognized the woman and saw the Asura Sea mark on the corner of her clothes.
The Asura Sea was an assassin organization in Xuanyu territory. They were mysterious and unfathomable. They were a force that walked in the dark, and they were even more feared than the Demonic Alliance.
Every assassin from the Asura Sea had walked out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They were true executioners who had killed countless.
All the martial artists near the woman immediately scattered, afraid that the Asura Sea assassin would attack them.
"Who is this person? He is very strong. He can actually injure an assassin from the Asura Sea." Someone looked at Ye Xingchen, their eyes full of fear.
"The Asura Sea is too difficult to deal with. Provoking one is the same as provoking a group of people. The people from this force are all madmen," someone said.
"This person's strength is extraordinary, but I've never seen him on the Chosen One List of Xuanyu territory. I'm afraid he's someone from another territory. He might not be afraid of someone from the Asura Sea," someone else expressed a different opinion.
Ye Xingchen was aware of the changes occurring in the outside world, but he didn't chase after the Asura Sea assassin.
His eyes focused on the leaf on the stone tablet. His mind became empty as he entered a state of enlightenment.
On the Divine Bridge, even though there were many people near the stone stele, there were even more martial artists. In order to fight for a position at the front, the battle never stopped.
However, none of this mattered to Ye Xingchen. Just now, he had severely wounded the Asura Sea assassin with a single sword strike, causing the others to dread him. They didn't dare to casually probe his strength.
Amidst the enlightenment, Ye Xingchen felt as if he had entered a green-colored time. Everywhere around him was rippling green light. Life energy was dense, and the Grand Dao of Wood was clearly visible.
"Is this Greenwood Pattern?"
Ye Xingchen felt a green pattern in his body. It was shaped like a leaf, hidden under his skin and in his flesh.
When this Greenwood Pattern condensed, he felt the vitality in his body increase by a lot. Even his lifespan had faintly increased.
There were many people on the Green Emperor Dao Plaza, but Ye Xingchen wasn't the only one who had comprehended the first Greenwood Pattern. There were others who had also comprehended it.
They felt the changes in their bodies and were pleasantly surprised.
In particular, those martial artists who were nearing the end of their lifespans felt their lifespan increase. Their originally withered bodies now had a trace of vitality. Their eyes became even crazier as they grasped at a chance of survival.
"Die!" Someone was enraged and attacked the martial artist standing in front of him.
Pfft!
In a short moment, dozens of people had died, and the number was still increasing.
Ye Xingchen was no longer calm. Someone had attacked him.
"Chi!"
A sharp sword qi shot out from the void, sharp and incisive.
Ye Xingchen walked forward along the divine bridge as he blocked the attack.
His fingers formed seals and the Yin Yang Seal shot out, blasting into the depths of the void and shattering the sword qi sent out by that person. The Yin Yang Seal's strength was endless and even that person was shaken away.
This person's cultivation had reached the fourth Nirvana and he had a secret treasure on him that allowed him to hide in the void.
At the same time, this martial artist also had the mark of the Asura Sea on a corner of his clothes. He was clearly an assassin from the Asura Sea.
"You are quite bold. You dare to injure someone from our Asura Sea? This is an unforgivable crime," the assassin said.
Ye Xingchen didn't care about this. His body flickered and he rushed in a direction behind the assassin. His five fingers moved and five beams of divine light pierced through the void, forcing a woman out of the void. The five beams of divine light pierced through the woman's body, killing her.
"You …" The male assassin was enraged, his eyes spitting fire.
"Are assassins from the Asura Sea that amazing?
Only you are allowed to kill others, not to be killed. Today, I want to see whether or not you can kill me, "Ye Xingchen calmly said, his killing intent soaring.
He was a soft-hearted person. If anyone dared to bully him, they would have to pay the price.
What assassin from the Asura Sea? He didn't care at all.
"Haha, you are the first person to dare declare war on our Asura Sea. I will capture you and cut off all your skin. I will use your flesh and blood to light the sky lanterns and use the Asura flames to torture your soul," the assassin sneered, wanting to retreat into the void and find another opportunity to assassinate Ye Xingchen.
"Do you know why I'm talking to you?
It's because I want to seal off the void you are in so that your void treasures can't be used, "Ye Xingchen coldly sneered and rushed out.
His body was strong and vigorous like a dragon. In an instant, he arrived in front of the assassin and punched him in the chest.
Kacha!
The Asura Sea assassin's face was filled with shock. The sound of bones breaking echoed in his body. Then, he unwillingly breathed his last.
Ye Xingchen had displayed an extraordinary combat strength. He had killed two of the Asura Sea's great assassins one after another, causing the entire divine bridge to tremble.
On this divine bridge, although there were people who could have killed those two Asura Sea assassins, none of them dared to do so out of fear of the Asura Sea.
But, they never imagined that this youth would be so decisive and resolute in his actions, directly killing those two assassins.
"This person cannot be provoked." Many people thought to themselves as they saw this scene.
This youth even dared to kill assassins from the Asura Sea and didn't have any scruples in his actions. If it wasn't necessary, it was best not to form enmity with him.
However, some people sneered. Although killing the Asura Sea's assassins seemed refreshing, they would also offend a peak assassin organization like the Asura Sea. In the future, they would surely be hunted down by the Asura Sea.
As Ye Xingchen arrived in front of the second stone tablet, some martial artists avoided him. They feared that the Asura Sea's assassins would come to retaliate and kill them by mistake.
The second stone tablet was very similar to the first. The first stone tablet had a single leaf and the second stone tablet had two leaves.
What was similar was that they were both blurry and ancient.
Ye Xingchen closed his eyes and focused on perceiving the second stone tablet.
Bang!
At this time, behind the divine bridge, a monstrous blood energy erupted. It was like a vast ocean, scattering the clouds in all directions and dyeing the skies red.
This was a very young and handsome man. He didn't look tall or burly, but rather thin and weak.
But at this moment, he exuded an aura that didn't match his own. It was vast and profound.
He also wore black clothes and there was an Asura Sea mark on the corner of his robes. The difference was that the two assassins from before had been red while his was gold.
"It's the Asura Sea's seed assassins," someone said.
"His name is Luo Xiu and he is one of the Asura Sea's ten great seed assassins. His strength is terrifying. Just as he stepped into the Nirvana realm, he successfully assassinated a half-step Fragmentation realm powerhouse," someone said in a low voice.
