Zhao Hong and Ye Chen exchanged a few words casually. Then, he scanned the surroundings and said, "Senior Ye Chen, I am a Heavenly Being of the Darkness Shrine, and all of you are martial artists of the Temple of the Gods. No matter what, I will not let you leave. Hence, we can only fight to the death."
Zhao Hong was very polite to Ye Chen for the sake of Su Rouying.
However, as long as the martial artists of the Darkness Shrine and the martial artists of the Temple of the Gods met, there would only be one choice — to fight to the death.
Upon hearing Zhao Hong's words, Li Qi and the others, who had been somewhat relieved, suddenly had a drastic change of expression.
Zhao Hong was a Heavenly Being. If he was unwilling to let everyone here go, no one would be able to escape alive today.
Ye Chen nodded slightly, but looked at Li Qi and said, "Have you finished your task?"
Li Qi's expression was ugly. He shook his head and said, "I originally wanted to take all the people here with me, but now it seems that even we can't protect ourselves. I can't care so much. As long as I can escape from here, it will be enough."
Li Qi now carried the soul fragments of countless people from the Haiga Clan.
Hence, even if he had to abandon all the people here, Li Qi had to escape from here.
"It is indeed a pity to abandon all these people," Ye Chen scanned the surroundings, and with a flash, the shadow of the Budur Ancient Pagoda appeared on his body.
A suction force appeared, and all the living beings in the Bead Realm were immediately sucked away by the Budur Ancient Pagoda.
"Everyone, get ready to break out of here at any time." After doing all this, Ye Chen put away the Budur Ancient Pagoda and rushed upwards.
Although the faces of Stone Saint and the others were ashen, they had no other choice but to follow Ye Chen and rush up.
Zhao Hong and the others, who were in the sky, all had cold expressions. They secretly mobilized a large amount of Death Qi, intending to intercept Ye Chen and the others.
In particular, Zhao Hong, who was a Heavenly Being, had a cold expression.
Although he was very polite to Ye Chen, he didn't care too much about Ye Chen's strength.
He was very clear about the specific situation of the battle back then. If it weren't for the blessing of the Fruit of Faith that suddenly appeared, Ye Chen would never have been a match for a real Celestial Being.
But now, Ye Chen didn't have the blessing of the Fruit of Faith.
"Senior Ye Chen, I'm sorry to offend you." Zhao Hong said indifferently as he reached out with a claw, directly grabbing at Ye Chen.
His palm grew incredibly huge. Each of his fingers was surrounded by a strong aura of death.
Stone Saint and the others behind Ye Chen, before they got close to the huge palm, they immediately felt dizzy and almost fell from the sky.
Only Ye Chen had a cold expression on his face. There was no fear on his face as he faced the giant palm. Instead, he charged straight towards it.
Ye Chen's appearance suddenly changed as the power of the fusion of life and death appeared inside of him.
Whoosh!
Ye Chen's figure rushed directly in front of Zhao Hong's huge palm. He grabbed the air with both hands and tore it apart.
Zhao Hong's huge palm was immediately torn in half by Ye Chen.
Immediately after, Ye Chen's figure appeared in front of Zhao Hong.
"Embryonic World." An illusory world with tumbling chaos power descended from the sky and enveloped Zhao Hong.
Zhao Hong's expression changed drastically. He no longer dared to be careless. He took out a long spear and stabbed it several times before destroying the world shadow.
However, when he regained his freedom, he found that the people who were originally in the Pearl Realm had all disappeared.
As for Li Long and the others, their faces were deathly pale as they fell to the side.
Just a moment ago, Ye Chen had not only trapped Zhao Hong, he had even defeated Li Long and the others, leading a group of warriors behind him to charge out of this place.
As a Celestial Being, he couldn't even stop a group of Quasi-Celestials. Zhao Hong's face turned green and white. His expression was very ugly.
However, in his heart, he was even more shocked.
"A Quasi-Celestial Being can compete with a Celestial Being. This kind of strength has probably surpassed the level of a Quasi-Celestial Being. No wonder this person was able to guard the Hidden Dragon World alone back then. This kind of ability is really terrifying."
Zhao Hong said inwardly. He immediately ordered everyone to follow him and continue to chase after Ye Chen and the others.
Although this was the order, Zhao Hong knew very well that since Ye Chen and the others could escape from here, it was almost impossible for them to continue to stop Ye Chen and the others.
…
Haiga World, in an ocean. Ye Chen took the lead and rushed out of the ocean below.
Behind Ye Chen, Stone Saint and the others also rushed out.
"We escaped." The group of people looked at each other and couldn't help but reveal a look of excitement.
To be able to escape from the hands of a Celestial Being was almost a miracle.
Their faces were full of surprise and their eyes quickly focused on Ye Chen.
In that split second, the frightening power that Ye Chen had unleashed had even shocked them.
"He can actually fight with a real Celestial Being. This kind of strength has definitely surpassed the level of a Quasi-Celestial Being. Even the strongest Quasi-Celestial Being I have seen is definitely not this strong."
Among the few of them, Nie Wenlan, who had wanted to challenge Ye Chen before, had an ugly look on his face. Deep in his heart, he was even a little frightened.
If Ye Chen hadn't been too lazy to pay attention to him, he would have been killed in one move if they really fought.
Ye Chen couldn't be bothered with what the people behind him thought. He rushed out of the ocean of Haiga World, glanced around, and immediately continued, "Let's go, the Undead Army is about to catch up."
After saying that, Ye Chen rushed straight up.
Haiga World had been completely occupied by the Darkness Shrine. If they continued to stay here, they would only die.
Perhaps because they had personally experienced Ye Chen's strength, they knew that even if they caught up with Ye Chen and the rest, they wouldn't be able to do anything to Ye Chen and the rest. The group of warriors from the Darkness Shrine didn't chase too closely.
In the end, Ye Chen and the rest successfully rushed out of Haiga World.
Standing outside Haiga World, Stone Saint and the rest looked at each other and actually felt like they had survived a disaster.
Of course, what made them feel even more helpless was that they had almost done nothing in this trip. The one who had really kept them safe was Ye Chen.
"A peerless genius from a hundred years ago. Even now, he still has such a demeanor."
Master Tan Guang chanted the name of Buddha and walked in front of Ye Chen with a smile. "Benefactor Ye Chen, if you have time, the Thunder Temple welcomes you."
Ye Chen nodded, but his brows were still furrowed together as if he was a little suspicious.
All of a sudden, Ye Chen looked at Nie Wenlan and reached out his hand to grab her.
Nie Wenlan's expression changed drastically, and his figure flashed. While trying to avoid it, he said anxiously, "Brother Ye, I was wrong before, I …"
Before Nie Wenlan could finish speaking, he felt Ye Chen's figure brushing past him.
Whoosh!
Ye Chen's figure appeared behind Nie Wenlan, and his finger pierced into the space like a sharp thorn.
This space was like a piece of cloth that was directly torn apart by Ye Chen.
