Chapter 4164: Chapter 4164: Death, One Step! (First Update)

...

A figure was swiftly moving within the Moon Soul Domain, and soon, a city appeared in front of him—it was Xuantian City!

A smile appeared on Ye Chen’s face, giving him a feeling of coming home.

After entering Xuantian City, Ye Chen went straight to Star Moon Refining God Peak, and as soon as Xu Shenglong, Lan Ying, and others sensed Ye Chen’s aura, they came out to greet him.

The expressions on everyone’s faces held a trace of concern. On that day, Ye Chen had suddenly left without any news for a long time. Even though they believed in Ye Chen’s strength, they couldn’t help but be a bit nervous.

Ye Chen gave an apologetic smile. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to contact them, but in Chenyue Sea, it was challenging to communicate with the outside world using ordinary jade talismans.

Under everyone’s inquiries, he shared some of his experiences in Chenyue Sea. Learning that Ye Chen had greatly improved in strength, everyone naturally felt a burst of joy!

Ye Chen didn’t leave Xuantian City immediately. This time, his strength had surged, and he needed to consolidate it properly. Besides, he should also spend quality time with Jin Shuhui.

A day later, Ye Chen bid farewell to everyone and, in a flash, left Star Moon Refining God Peak.

A golden bolt of lightning shot up from within Xuantian City and left in a particular direction, excitement gleaming in his eyes!

Now, he could finally possess his own Freedom Heaven!

Moreover, during his time at Chenyue Sea, Xuantian Sword Tomb, and Dead Spirit Hall, his understanding of the Destruction Divine Dao had significantly increased!

Although there’s still something lacking to reach perfection, the rank of Burning Heaven surely couldn’t be too low!

In fact, he might possess a high-grade Freedom Heaven directly!

This way, his strength would have a tremendous leap!

However, Ye Chen didn’t realize that within Xuantian City, a short man with somewhat dark skin and a slightly crafty look in his eyes glanced at the golden bolt of light that flew from Star Moon Refining God Peak and left Xuantian City, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he took out a Communication Jade Token to notify someone.

Ye Chen sped through the air, but couldn’t help furrowing his brows slightly; for some reason, he had a persistent uncomfortable feeling in his heart, lingering like an invisible thorn poking at his back.

With Ye Chen’s current speed, it would only take a few hours to reach the location of the Moon God Secret Realm. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in the mountains, far from Xuantian City.

A faintly discernible black shadow hid behind Ye Chen, yet with Ye Chen’s powerful divine soul, he didn’t notice this person’s existence at all!

And within that black shadow was a young man with quite dark skin, whose appearance was somewhat different from ordinary humans, his eyes extremely sharp.

This person was none other than Cui Li’en!

Cui Li’en stared at Ye Chen, not far away, frowning slightly. He suddenly took out a jade talisman and immersed his divine soul within it. Soon, a somewhat flippant voice sounded from the jade talisman: "What’s the matter?"

Cui Li’en said, "Jia Lei, there’s some issue with your information."

"Oh?"

Jia Lei seemed unsurprised, casually asking, "What’s the matter?"

Cui Li’en said, "Firstly, this person’s aura is somewhat strange..."

Jia Lei laughed and said, "What’s strange about that? This person’s strength far exceeds his division of realms, so naturally, the speed at which he raises his level of cultivation can’t be like an ordinary person."

Cui Li’en’s eyes flickered as he said, "Secondly, for some reason, I sensed an extremely strong Qi of Heaven and Earth within this person’s body, comparable to a typical late-stage Qiankun Realm expert! If it wasn’t because he hadn’t concealed his level of cultivation, I would even think he was a late-stage Qiankun Realm being."

Hearing this, Jia Lei seemed somewhat surprised and, after a moment of silence, said, "What, are you losing confidence?"

Cui Li’en gave a cold smile and said, "Jia Lei, you don’t need to use your tricks on me. I’ll kill the person, and then I’ll deliver his corpse and storage bag back to you intact, according to our agreement, but my fee will be doubled..."

He stared at Ye Chen’s back, a hint of solemnity in his eyes as he said, "This kid gives me a rather dangerous feeling."

The usually shrewd and cunning Jia Lei was surprisingly decisive this time as he responded, "Deal!"

Cui Li’en put away the Communication Jade Token, faint Dao Integration gathering around him as he drew the entirely blood-red dagger by his side, the dagger flickering with eerie blood light.

This dagger was an Emperor Artifact!

Moreover, it was a nine-grade Emperor Artifact!

Surging Dao Integration infused into the dagger, intensifying the blood light which gradually condensed into a blood-colored Dao Seal, engraved on the sword’s edge!

The next moment, Cui Li’en fiercely unleashed a slash at Ye Chen!

The extremely swift sword flashed towards Ye Chen like a bolt of lightning!

The power of this sword was extremely restrained; in terms of the attack power of a Qiankun Realm Eighth Layer Heaven being, this slash wasn’t particularly strong, but!

It was completely transparent, silently cutting through the air, leaving people unaware!

If one couldn’t detect this sword, how could they evade it?

Cui Li’en’s lips curled into a cold smile; this strike was destined to hit!

Even if a late-stage Qiankun Realm being were suddenly struck at a vital point by this strike, they would be instantly drawn into his combat rhythm!

Although the indifferent young man before him felt mysterious and dangerous, he still wasn’t truly a late-stage Qiankun Realm existence. Cui Li’en was confident that as long as the opponent was struck by this sword, his death would be inevitable!

...

Meanwhile, in the Dark Domain.

In a side room of the Gu Mansion, Gu Han sat cross-legged on the bed, a faint light appearing at his brow.

He was observing the battle between Cui Li’en and Ye Chen through the Divine Thought Seed!

When Cui Li’en unleashed the extremely mysterious strike, Gu Han couldn’t help but show a highly excited expression!

He could clearly feel the power contained in that sword!

Although Cui Li’en’s sword followed a mysterious path, the attack power was still at the late-stage Qiankun Realm level!

Such a strike, even if Ye Chen’s vitality was incredibly strong, it would likely be a one-hit kill, right?

The corners of his mouth lifted into an extremely satisfied smile.

Ye Chen was finally going to die!

He was somewhat impatient to see the moment Ye Chen was sliced in two!

In the Dark Territory, Jia Lei was sipping wine as he watched the battle between Cui Li’en and Ye Chen. His eyes flickered, as he didn’t want Ye Chen to just die so easily.

This time, he could be said to have made a losing trade...

He even ended up giving Cui Li’en quite a bit of money.

But, if his judgement was correct, there should be unimaginable secrets hidden within Ye Chen’s storage bag!

If he died so easily, that would mean Ye Chen was just ordinary!

This deal would likely be a loss!

Just as that transparent sword was about to strike Ye Chen, his pupils contracted wildly, and Destruction Dao Rhythm surged from beneath his feet. He suddenly shattered the void, moving his body sideways by several dozen steps!
