"What a terrifying strength!"
The black figure continuously retreated, wanting to leave this place. However, at this moment, a ray of moonlight blossomed once again, tearing through the night sky and directly penetrating the black figure's body.
A blood-curdling scream was heard, and then it slowly dissipated until everything returned to normal.
The figure sitting there slowly opened his eyes without any expression. Soon after, he closed his eyes, and the entire space returned to its previous tranquility.
Not far away, three black figures suddenly stopped and looked in front of them.
"The seventh brother has been killed."
One of them coldly said, causing the other two to fall into silence.
The four of them were from the Seven Kills Sect, and they were responsible for hunting down the elites on this lone peak. Originally, when one of them was killed, the other three should immediately retreat. However, the seventh brother who was killed had quite a number of storage rings on him, and he had the most wealth.
If the three of them left just like that, their gains would be a little shabby.
"Let's go and take a look. Assassination is out of the question. Let's take the seventh brother's storage ring and leave."
The three of them looked at each other. None of them were willing to give up on the wealth in their hands. Their figures flashed, and they all rushed up the lone peak.
Soon, they saw a young man sitting cross-legged in cultivation. Not far away, there was a corpse. It was the seventh brother's corpse.
"Let's go!"
One of them said. Soon after, the three of them stepped out together, slightly lifting their palms. A pungent smell of blood rolled on their palms, and waves of palm shadows overlapped. A terrifying murderous aura rushed towards the cultivator, and a sinister ghost howl erupted.
Rumble!
Before the smell of blood touched the young man, endless moonlight shone down and tore it into pieces, causing it to disappear without a trace. This caused the hearts of the three to suddenly tremble. This moonlight was so strange, and it actually possessed such a terrifying power.
"Ignore him, take the seventh brother's corpse."
The three of them looked at each other and stretched out their arms. A powerful suction force erupted as they tried to put the seventh brother's body into their storage rings. However, at this moment, the young man who was cultivating slowly opened his eyes. There was a flash of light that seemed to contain some kind of mysterious power, causing the three of them to stop breathing.
"It's him!"
The three of them saw the young man's face clearly, and their eyes trembled slightly. They retracted their Genuine Origin Energy, and stepped back.
Although the people from the Seven Kills Sect were unscrupulously killing the elites on the 13 lone peaks and robbing their storage rings, no matter how bold they were, they did not dare to assassinate the geniuses participating in the Battle of the Empires.
Not only because these geniuses were powerful, more importantly, because of the repeated warnings from the Divine Palace, they did not dare to act recklessly.
"Your Excellency, we have no ill intentions, we just accidentally.... if we have disturbed you..
One of them said to Ye Chen. Ye Chen's strength was obvious to all of them. Even if the three of them joined hands, they would not be Ye Chen's opponent. Therefore, he immediately begged for mercy.
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"
A cold smile appeared on the corner of Ye Chen's mouth. While he was cultivating, he had sensed that someone was secretly killing experts and seizing their storage rings. He had killed one of them just now because he wanted to intimidate the other experts of the Seven Kills Sect and make them immediately scram from this place.
Who knew that the three of them were blinded by greed, and did not care about Ye Chen's warning at all. They were simply outlaws.
They seemed to have sensed Ye Chen's indifference, and the three of them looked somewhat ugly.
"Your Excellency, you can cultivate here. We will not disturb you, and we will mind our own business. If you insist on making things difficult, it will not do you any good. After all, the Seven Kills Sect also has many Saint Path Experts."
The person spoke again, directly mentioning the name of the Seven Kills Sect. Obviously, he wanted to intimidate Ye Chen.
"My Seven Kills Sect's Yang Tuo has eight Divine Seals in the Ancient Divine World, and he has cultivated two Peerless Martial Arts. His strength is enough to reach the top five, and he is even stronger than Duanmu Yu. You are a smart person, and you should know what I mean."
Another person said coldly, threatening Ye Chen.
"Yang Tuo?"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows. He had some impression of this person. When he had just arrived at the Heaven Martial City, Yang Tuo had dared to clamor with Han Xiao. He must not be weak.
"Yes!"
The three of them shouted in unison. They all thought that Ye Chen was afraid, so they raised their voices by a few degrees.
Ye Chen's body slowly stood up, and the True Aether on his body burst out with a piercing sound.
"I don't care who you are, or which force you come from. Today, you will all die here!"
A voice came out, and suddenly, a dazzling moonlight shrouded the entire space. The hearts of the three people trembled, and their faces became extremely pale.
The three of them had disturbed Ye Chen's cultivation, but Ye Chen did not take it to heart. What he was worried about was that the people of the Seven Kills Sect would continue to hunt.
On this lonely peak, everyone was from the Qinwu Dynasty.
If they had killed the experts of the Crystal Palace, Ye Chen would not have cared. However, if they had killed the experts of the Sky Yuan Sect or the Yuhua Sect, then Ye Chen could not bear it.
He had to kill one to warn the others, and completely intimidate the Seven Kills Sect.
"Run!"
The three of them did not dare to fight head-on. True Aether rolled out of their bodies, and they ran towards the distant peak.
"Can you escape?"
Ye Chen spat out the word coldly as he clenched his fists. A crescent moon appeared in the air, and endless moonlight poured down. It was irresistible. The three's faces turned into fear and shock instantly.
A rumbling sound came out, and the three of them trembled violently. They immediately stopped in their tracks and exploded with their strongest attacks.
However, the combat strength of the two sides was not proportional at all.
In just an instant, the fist destroyed everything. The bodies of the three people were torn apart by the moonlight. They did not even have time to cry out before they turned into cold corpses.
"My strength has increased a little."
Ye Chen's face revealed a look of satisfaction. After a night of bitter cultivation, he had a deeper understanding of the Moon Goddess Ode from the remnant soul.
Stepping forward, Ye Chen prepared to continue cultivating. At this moment, the night was as dark as ink, and there was a faint trace of a cold aura. Ye Chen acutely felt that in the distance, there was a ferocious aura rapidly approaching him.
His gaze looked in the direction of the baleful aura. Soon after, he saw three black figures flying through the air and landing not far away from him.
"Are you still so stubborn?"
Ye Chen stood in the same place, his eyes calm. He just quietly stared at the people who came from the void.
Not long after, another three people flew over. There were a total of six people.
They stood in front of Ye Chen, floating in the void, and their murderous aura filled the air.
The six people glanced at the cold corpses on the ground and said to Ye Chen, "Sir, you have killed four people from my Seven Kills Sect. This action is too much."
They knew that Ye Chen's background was not small, and his strength was also extremely powerful. However, their Seven Kills Sect's people could not be casually killed. These four people were all outstanding talents, and their strength was not weak. If they lost four people all of a sudden, if their Seven Kills Sect did not even dare to say a word, then wouldn't they become cowards?
"I have killed too much, but your Seven Kills Sect hunted others for no reason. How is that not too much?"
Ye Chen coldly spat out. The instant he raised his head and was about to attack, a scene of thousands of stars appeared in the void without any warning.
Along with the starlight, a misty fog appeared and slowly enveloped the entire space.
"It's her?"
