[Request for monthly votes!]

From the start, Ye Tianchen’s battle against the Northern State’s First Elder and Second Elder was somewhat ”absent-minded.” One could say, Ye Tianchen wasn’t exerting his full strength; he was merely defending, maneuvering without initiating the power of slaughter. This led the Northern State’s First Elder and Second Elder to believe that their strength was comparable to Ye Tianchen’s, perhaps even to the point where they could kill him, since they too hadn’t gone all out during the hour-long battle!

Who would have thought that when the Northern State’s Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder sensed the unfavorable situation and wanted to intervene, the Northern State’s First Elder and Second Elder, feeling it was a blow to their prestige, decided to fully unleash their power to annihilate Ye Tianchen, not realizing their arrogance and conceit were misplaced. When Ye Tianchen unleashed his full strength, they were instantly overwhelmed, seemingly left only with the prospect of death!

A sword light struck the Northern State’s First Elder and Second Elder, causing them severe injuries. Yet, just as they were astonished by Ye Tianchen’s heaven-defying, demon-like battle prowess, Ye Tianchen already charged forward, wielding the Xuanyuan Sword without a word and aiming to take the lives of these two old men!

Swish!

A powerful Sword Qi swiftly launched from the Xuanyuan Sword in Ye Tianchen’s hand, directly attacking the Northern State’s First Elder and Second Elder. At this moment, these arrogant old men were genuinely shocked and no longer arrogant, as they had to admit that Ye Tianchen, the young generation Martial Artist, had indeed surpassed them. Denial was futile; recklessly charging forward would lead to their annihilation!

Facing Ye Tianchen’s incoming strike, the Northern State’s First Elder and Second Elder were initially stunned and instinctively wanted to retreat, fearing for their lives, fearing death. They no longer believed they could withstand Ye Tianchen’s attack and lost the arrogant momentum they once had.

Swish!

Unexpectedly, just as Ye Tianchen’s Sword Qi was about to strike the Northern State’s First Elder and Second Elder, another Sword Qi swiftly intercepted, directly clashing with Ye Tianchen’s Sword Qi, preventing the Northern State’s First Elder and Second Elder from being killed!

Swoosh!

The Northern State’s Fourth Elder swiftly appeared before Ye Tianchen, glanced at Ye Tianchen, then at the Northern State’s First Elder and Second Elder, calmly saying, ”You two should step back, so you don’t interfere with my killing!”

”Indeed, you are not his match; this young generation Martial Artist should not be underestimated!” The Northern State’s Fifth Elder sneered.

The Northern State’s First Elder and Second Elder glared fiercely at Ye Tianchen, simultaneously realizing the Northern State’s Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder were mocking them. Yet, they were indeed defeated, certainly not as powerful as Ye Tianchen. Facing Ye Tianchen’s full-powered assault, they were weak. Charging recklessly meant annihilation; compared to pride, survival remained paramount!

Ye Tianchen stood in mid-air, observing the Northern State’s Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder, still feeling relieved. As long as these two most powerful elders didn’t attack the remaining twenty or so female disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, it was the best state. His fear was these two elders would not engage him directly but instead first attack the remaining female disciples of the temple, which would spell disaster!

”To think your strength is so great, enough to challenge us elders in a battle!” The Northern State’s Fourth Elder laughed at Ye Tianchen.

”What’s so great about being an elder Martial Artist? Elders aren’t always the strongest; there are many anomalies in this world, and I, Ye Tianchen, am one of them!” Ye Tianchen retorted confidently.

”Anomalies? In the Martial Arts World’s million-year evolution, many anomalies have indeed appeared, but most of them died; most geniuses were killed in the cradle, and you will be no exception!” The Northern State’s Fifth Elder dismissed him with a smile.

”Then you can fight me, and we’ll see!” Ye Tianchen said, his face showing a confident expression.

Boom!

Boom!

Two powerful killing intents surged forward. Ye Tianchen immediately spread his own killing intent, clashing with these two surges!

Puff!

Blood dripped from the corner of Ye Tianchen’s mouth, startling him. It seemed his predictions were correct. With his current strength, even if he unleashed his full battle power, along with the power from the Forbidden Domain, he could at most fight one of these elder foes. If both attacked together, he might truly face annihilation; facing such overwhelming power required a sober recognition!

”No way, I can’t hold off these two strongest old guys, even killing those three weaker ones is useless, I have to persevere!” thought Ye Tianchen, gritting his teeth in his heart.

”Looks like you’re still not strong enough!” mocked the Four Elders of the Northern State with a scornful smile.

”You two go deal with all the female disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple. Kill them all, leave no threats behind, and as for this lad, we’ll take care of him!” said the Fifth Elder of the Northern State with a ruthless smile.

Swish!

Swish!

Ye Tianchen paused, and immediately came to his senses, wielding the Xuanyuan Sword, instantly unleashed two extremely powerful Sword Qi towards the First Elder and Second Elder of the Northern State. However, his two powerful Sword Qi were still blocked, with the Fourth Elder of the Northern State holding a longsword and the Fifth Elder holding a large knife, both stopping Ye Tianchen’s Sword Qi. The First and Second Elders of the Northern State sneered viciously as they charged towards the group of female disciples from the Flying Flower Zen Temple on the ground!

This scene startled Ye Tianchen. He hadn’t expected this; the Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder of the Northern State seemed to have seen through his intentions, which was why they had the First Elder and Second Elder go and eliminate the female disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple first. When Ye Tianchen wanted to rush over to eliminate these two old guys first, the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder immediately blocked his way, preventing him from providing support!

”You want to hold us five back to let the female disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple escape. Did you really think we couldn’t see through your trickery? We just disdain to bother arguing with you because everything is futile in the face of absolute strength!” said the Fourth Elder of the Northern State, smiling at Ye Tianchen.

”You are indeed a very talented young man, but unfortunately, you have revealed too much of your edge and have offended us!” sneered the Fifth Elder of the Northern State.

Ye Tianchen frowned, feeling pressured as the Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder of the Northern State blocked his way. He had to admit these two old guys were extremely strong, with cultivation realms at the late stage of Martial Saint, even at the peak level of late stage Martial Saint. Earlier, in clashing with the killing intent of these two old guys, Ye Tianchen’s vital energy surged, forcing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. Although he wasn’t severely injured, his state wasn’t very good, and his mental pressure was significant!

Watching as the First and Second Elders of the Northern State charged towards the other female disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, Ye Tianchen became anxious. Given these two old guys’ strength, if any of them attacked, none of the female disciples from the Flying Flower Zen Temple could withstand the Power of Slaughter; they’d surely be utterly obliterated!

However, now Ye Tianchen was blocked by the Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder of the Northern State, who had also seen through his intentions. Ye Tianchen was unable to retreat to rescue those female disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple. As for Princess Zi Xuan herself, whose cultivation realm was a level lower than the Third Elder of the Northern State, it was already a significant challenge to unleash her potential and hold up a fight using the Cheng Ying Sword against the Third Elder, and it was impossible for her to rescue her sisters!

”Sisters, we cannot just sit back and wait for death!”

”Right, even if we die, we must fight to the death!”

”True, Zi Xuan has gone to great lengths to protect us, drawing all danger to herself. She guards us with the resolve to face complete annihilation!”

”Yes, fight till the end, even if our souls scatter, we should fight!”

Most of the female disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple were wounded, and many were seriously injured. Some had lost their fighting capability, and those who could still fight weren’t strong enough to be opponents against the First and Second Elders of the Northern State. However, when they saw the First and Second Elders charging at them, none of them submitted, nor did they wait helplessly. They were all ignited with their fighting spirit, that unyielding passion, taught by their master Sang Qing when he was alive, also felt now being led by Princess Zi Xuan!

Defiant and fearless, fighting to the death!

Puff!

Puff!

Puff!

Unfortunately, the strength gap between these female disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple and the First and Second Elders of the Northern State was too vast. Some female disciples prepared to charge into battle but hadn’t reached these two old guys before a few finger strikes had touched them, resulting in instant obliteration, turning into a mist of blood!

”Flying Flower Zen Temple? Sang Qing? Hmph, all shall become the past!” declared the First Elder of the Northern State with extreme ruthlessness.
