The Alchemist Guild, in a loft.
Ye Fei was curled up on the ground, wine jugs were placed around him. He was in a drunken stupor, looking extremely dispirited.
After the Beast Tide, although Blackjade City was saved, his closest friends were all dead. He was left alone in the world. That kind of torment could only be numbed with good wine.
"Elder Ye Fei."
At this time, a familiar voice sounded in the night sky.
Ye Fei shuddered and found that a blurry figure had appeared beside him. When he saw the face of the newcomer, he almost burst into tears, "Ye Chen, you … you didn't die."
The light scattered and reflected a handsome face. Ye Chen took a few steps forward and patted Ye Fei's shoulder. He then told the story of how he was swept away by the strange snake.
"Everything in this world is hard to predict. But it's enough that you can return safely."
Ye Fei sighed and asked, "Then what are your plans now? Are you still going to return to the Yellow Springs Camp?"
"Of course."
Ye Chen's expression was firm, and his eyes flashed with a trace of ferocious killing intent, "Bai Sheng, that bastard, tried to kill me time and time again. I can't let him go no matter what. Besides, I will never forget Elder Ye Meng's blood feud even if I die."
That day, when the strange snake's flames covered the city gate, Ye Meng used his own body to block at the most critical moment, giving Ye Chen a chance to escape. If it wasn't for Ye Meng sacrificing himself to save Ye Chen, Ye Chen would have turned into a pile of dust.
In the end, Bai Sheng inverted the truth and framed him many times. He had no sense of shame. In private, Bai Sheng caused Ye Meng's death and almost brought the entire Blackjade City to destruction. He was guilty of the most heinous crimes.
Even if he had to risk his life, Ye Chen would take his head to mourn the deaths of his friends and family.
"A man should be quick to repay kindness and revenge. Unfortunately, I'm weak and will only drag you down. But as long as you say the word, even if I have to sacrifice my old bones, I will fully support you."
Without Ye Chen, there would be no Ye Fei today. He would never forget the help that Ye Chen had given him.
Ye Chen shook his head and faintly smiled, "Elder Ye Fei, you're almost seventy years old. I don't want to see you running around and being in all kinds of dangerous situations. I'll take Bai Sheng's head by myself. You just have to wait for my news in Black Jade City."
After he finished speaking, a gentle breeze swept past and Ye Chen's figure vanished. He only left behind a single sentence that echoed through the pavilion.
"Although I have already left the Ye Clan, I am still a member of the Ye Clan. I hope that Elder Ye Fei can preserve the bloodline of the Ye Clan, and once again spread its branches in Blackjade City, passing down the incense from generation to generation."
Several days later, in the depths of the Soaring Cloud Mountain Range.
A handsome young man in black clothes was standing on a huge rock. Not far away from him, there was a huge ape with a body as big as an iron tower.
This ape was four meters tall, and its hair was grayish-black in color, sharp as needles. Its muscles were bulging, and its blood was surging. Every time it moved, it was as if it was hitting the surface of a drum, making thumping sounds.
If an experienced hunter was present, they would definitely recognize this ape immediately. It was the infamous Six Directions Demonic Ape of the Soaring Cloud Mountain Range. It was not a vicious beast, but a genuine spiritual beast.
The Six Directions Demonic Ape's eyes gave off a blood-red glow as it stared at the human youth in front of it. It panted heavily and there were a few wounds on its lower abdomen, from which blood constantly seeped out.
"As expected of a spiritual beast. Its vitality is really strong."
Ye Chen took off his clothes and exposed his sturdy muscles to the air. It was not exaggerated, but it was filled with a streamlined beauty. On his back, there were numerous scars. Some of them were even close to his heart and were extremely dangerous.
In the past few days, Ye Chen had traversed the Soaring Cloud Mountain Range and killed over a hundred vicious beasts. Most of them were at the Ninth Celestial Layer of the Martial Path. There were a few times when he was surrounded by several vicious beasts and almost lost his life.
In this kind of life and death experience, Ye Chen's battle experience was constantly accumulating. Today, he finally decided to challenge a spiritual beast.
Roar! Roar!
The Six Directions Demonic Ape pounded its chest and charged at Ye Chen. Ye Chen had already seen through it. He tilted his body and used the Crane Cloud Step, easily dodging the attack.
However, almost at the same time, the Six Directions Demonic Ape opened its mouth and shot out a shocking light beam that was over ten meters long. A huge rock weighing over ten kilograms was hit and instantly exploded. It was simply unable to block the light beam.
"What a tyrannical attacking method."
The spiritual beast began to condense Zhen Yuan. In terms of attacking methods, it was far superior to the vicious beasts. If Ye Chen took this attack head-on, he would definitely be seriously injured. The Six Directions Demonic Ape was equivalent to a human expert at the First Celestial Layer of the Truth realm. Its attacking power was so strong that even some spiritual beasts at the Second Celestial Layer of the Truth realm would have to retreat.
Ye Chen took a few steps forward. He was like a crane soaring in the sky. His movements were natural and unrestrained. While avoiding the light beam, he shot out a finger force and left a deep mark on the arm of the Six Directions Demonic Ape.
Roar!
Feeling the pain in its body again, the Six Directions Demonic Ape was finally enraged. It was a spiritual beast, but it was actually being toyed with by a human youth. It opened its mouth and shot out several light beams, covering the entire space.
"Raging Steel Dragon Fist."
Ye Chen dodged the light beam again. The surging power of his blood and Qi instantly erupted and blasted on the body of the Six Directions Demonic Ape. It forcibly broke the tough muscles, and a bruise appeared.
However, this time, the Six Directions Demonic Ape had already entered a state of madness. It did not care about its injuries. Its mind was filled with thoughts of how to tear this human before it into pieces.
"Since you want to fight with your life on the line, I won't waste any more time."
Ye Chen's body flickered continuously and pulled away from the Six Directions Demonic Ape. He landed on a large tree, and a sharp light flashed in the depths of his eyes. Within a radius of three li, everything, including grass and trees, movement and stillness, fell into the grasp of Ye Chen.
In fact, he could even clearly see the True Origin in the light pillar in the Six Directions Demonic Ape's mouth.
Ye Chen's figure flashed again and dodged the attack of the Six Directions Demonic Ape. A cyan energy circulated between his fingers, emitting a desolate aura.
Heaven Imprisoning Finger!
The corners of Ye Chen's mouth opened slightly. He stood straight and turned his back to the Six Directions Demonic Ape. He strode forward without looking back.
Kacha! Kacha!
When Xiao Chen took his fifth step, an intense wail rang out. The Six Directions Demonic Ape's huge body started to sway. In the end, it crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
A bloody hole as wide as a thumb appeared on the forehead of the Six Directions Demonic Ape. It was a one-hit kill, aiming for the Six Directions Demonic Ape's vitals.
The Six Directions Demonic Ape's body was extremely tough. Ye Chen used his superior perception to find the weakest point of the Six Directions Demonic Ape's defense. Together with the penetrative power of the Eight Desolate Heavenly Imprisoning Finger, he pierced through the Six Directions Demonic Ape's body and instantly destroyed its vitality.
"With my current strength, I can already kill Spirit Beasts head-on. Bai Sheng, enjoy your remaining life. Your death is coming soon."
Ye Chen put the Six Directions Demonic Ape's Spirit Core into his storage ring. Then, he strode out and headed for the core of the Soaring Cloud Mountain Range.
