In just an instant, the tables had turned.
Zhao Xing was still fine, with only the Heavenly Human Scepter and many other treasures severely damaged. However, Man Xue was in an extremely miserable state.
She was originally a beautiful woman, but now, she had lost an arm and her body was covered in wounds. It was as if she had turned from a high and mighty goddess into a beggar begging for food.
The group of Jade Tripod Sect disciples by the side were all stunned.
"I once heard that this Ye Chen defeated Heavenly General Fei Ying in the Dark Abyss and even killed a quasi-Heaven Being expert from the Dark Nation. Could this rumor be true?"
Among the group of Jade Tripod Sect disciples, there were some who looked regretful.
They were beginning to regret underestimating Ye Chen and Yan Xiu.
One had to know that an expert who could defeat Heavenly General Fei Ying was considered an extremely elite existence in the Jade Tripod Sect. At the very least, he was not someone Senior Brother Zhao Xing and Senior Sister Man Xue could compare with.
Unfortunately, almost no one in the Jade Tripod Sect believed the rumor that Ye Chen had defeated Heavenly General Fei Ying.
The reason was simple. Heavenly General Fei Ying was a Heavenly General expert in the Heavenly Courts.
As for Ye Chen, he was unknown and did not have any backing. No one would believe that Ye Chen was a match for Heavenly General Fei Ying.
But now, Ye Chen was able to instantly defeat Zhao Xing and Senior Sister Man Xue. This made them suddenly recall the rumor. They began to understand that the rumor was not made up without reason, but was true.
…
"Ye Chen, don't worry. I can still hold on." Yan Xiu's appearance was not much better than Man Xue's.
Fortunately, the ultimate power that Man Xue grasped was not as strong as the Flame of the Soul. Therefore, Yan Xiu alone could withstand the corrosion of the ultimate power that Man Xue had injected into his body.
Therefore, although Yan Xiu's situation looked tragic, he would be able to recover with enough time.
In just a short while, the blood on Yan Xiu's body had almost completely disappeared.
Just from his appearance, it was impossible to tell that Yan Xiu had been severely injured.
Yan Xiu stood beside Ye Chen.
At this moment, among everyone present, only Ye Chen could clearly sense that there were still two ultimate powers fighting within Yan Xiu's body.
Before Man Xue's power was completely expelled, Yan Xiu could not possibly recover completely.
"That's good." Seeing that Yan Xiu's condition had improved, Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Ye Chen's expression turned even uglier.
He had chosen to compromise with Manxue and the rest because of Baguio. However, because of this, Yan Xiu had almost died.
Looking at the Jade Tripod Sect disciples beside him, Ye Chen suddenly emitted an intense killing intent.
At that moment, he was even planning to kill all the people before him.
As for the consequences of doing so, he knew very well that it was nothing more than completely offending the Jade Tripod Sect's Devas.
Anyway, Ye Chen had already offended quite a few Devas. Ye Chen did not mind offending a few more.
Yan Xiu could sense the killing intent from Ye Chen. His expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly pulled Ye Chen back. "Ye Chen, you can't. If you kill them, Baguio will be in a difficult situation."
Yan Xiu, who had lived in the Heavenly Human Continent for more than ten years, was obviously more familiar with the rules of the Heavenly Human Continent.
In this place, only the Celestial Being was a lofty existence.
As for the other ancient martial art practitioners, even those who were half a step into the Devas realm, they were merely ants.
If the ants wanted to live, they had to have a backer.
For itinerant cultivators like Yan Xiu and the rest, they were constantly in danger on the Heavenly Human Continent. Whether they could survive depended on their own luck.
Yan Xiu and the rest had improved so quickly not only because they were talented, but also because they were constantly in danger.
Such an extreme environment naturally allowed their strength to increase rapidly.
But at the same time, they had long realized the importance of having a backer in the Heavenly Human Continent.
For example, Baguio had joined the Jade Tripod Sect, although she was only the most ordinary disciple.
However, Baguio could stay on the Jade Tripod Mountain and cultivate with peace of mind. She was also provided with various resources by the Jade Tripod Sect daily.
Just these conditions alone were enough to make many itinerant cultivators drool.
If Ye Chen and Yan Xiu really caused Zhao Xing and the rest to target Baguio today, Baguio's future days would not be easy.
"I know what you mean, but if we keep giving in, these fellows will only take a mile after taking an inch."
Ye Chen's expression was cold as he spoke to Yan Xiu. His gaze began to sweep across the Jade Tripod Sect disciples in front of him.
"All of you are arrogant and domineering. You even tried to kill us just now. Such actions are simply shameful. I originally planned on killing all of you, but on account of the fact that all of you are Jade Tripod Sect disciples, I'll spare all of you today."
Before Ye Chen could finish his sentence, the surrounding Jade Tripod Sect disciples revealed looks of mockery.
"Spare us this time? What a joke. We are Jade Tripod Sect disciples, and this fellow is just an itinerant cultivator. Does he really think he dares to kill us?"
"That goes without saying. We have the Jade Tripod Sect behind us. There are countless Heavenly Human realm experts in the Jade Tripod Sect. The two fellows in front of us are just itinerant cultivators. If they dare attack us, they are doomed."
"When we return to the Jade Tripod Sect, we will think of a way to regain the face we lost today."
…
The group of Jade Tripod Sect disciples muttered for a moment. None of them thanked Ye Chen for sparing them this time. Instead, they turned to leave in a righteous manner.
"Puah!"
At that moment, a flame suddenly appeared and struck the arm of Duan Long, who was walking at the back of the crowd.
Duan Long's arm was enveloped by the flame and was almost immediately reduced to ashes. It was almost identical to Senior Sister Manxue's situation.
Duan Long clearly never expected that Ye Chen would attack again after saying that he would spare them.
Furthermore, Ye Chen was decisive in his attack. The moment he attacked, he severed one of Duan Long's arms.
Duan Long was only an ordinary half-step Heavenly Human realm expert. Against the power of Ye Chen's Torch Flame Kindling, he did not have the ability to resist at all.
"You went back on your word."
"How audacious. Immediately inform the seniors of the sect and get them to teach the two of them a lesson."
"Summon Eldest Senior Brother and the rest. I refuse to believe that Eldest Senior Brother is not the match of the two of them."
…
Ye Chen's sudden attack gave the surrounding Jade Tripod Sect disciples a fright. It also infuriated them. They planned on completely falling out with Ye Chen.
Although they were perturbed, the Jade Tripod Sect disciples felt a lot more at ease when they thought of the Jade Tripod Sect behind them. They did not lose their composure.
"I said that I would let you go this time. However, you have targeted us time and time again. If I don't teach you a lesson, wouldn't you think that we are too weak?" Ye Chen's face was cold as a cluster of flames flickered on his fingertips.
