The vast Cyan Dragon surged forward, sweeping through with overwhelming momentum. Its presence thundered between heaven and earth, as if raging tides were rolling, enough to tear apart anything in its path.

However.

Ye Qingchen merely raised his sword slowly.

A gust of wind gently swept past him. Then, the speed of the wind picked up, transforming into a wild gust. Following Ye Qingchen's gentle wave.

Swish!

This violent gust, like a mountain flood accumulating for three days and nights, suddenly gushed forth, fiercely crashing towards the Cyan Dragon.

Rip! Rip! Rip!

The gusts skimmed over the Cyan Dragon's body, even producing a sound as grating as scraping iron sheets. Amid the storm, the previously solid body of the Cyan Dragon began to blur.

"What's this?"

Lei Ao's pupils contracted.

He never expected.

The power of the opponent's swordsmanship was once again surging!

"Just playing tricks! But today, even if the Celestial Emperor came, he wouldn't be able to save you!"

Lei Ao roared.

At this moment.

He even forced out his Protective True Qi, channeling it into the body of the Cyan Dragon. The claw aimed at crushing Chu Jingtian down was faster and more powerful than before!

However.

Facing the claw formed of two forces combined, Ye Qingchen calmly took a step forward.

Swoosh!

In an instant.

He moved like a tornado, carrying the might of his sword, rushing abruptly in front of Lei Ao.

The Cyan Dragon's phantom gathered with Lei Ao's lifetime cultivation, capable of blocking gold and stone, was fragile as paper under Ye Qingchen's sword, easily torn apart.

"What?"

At this moment, Lei Ao's expression changed drastically.

He panicked.

He frantically retreated.

But, no matter how fast he moved, could he possibly outrun the wind?

Swoosh!

Under the incredulous gaze of the crowd.

Ye Qingchen's sword had already sliced through the void, piercing directly through Lei Ao's body.

Poof!

In an instant.

Lei Ao halted abruptly, as though struck by lightning, rooted to the spot. He wanted to retreat but was unable to move.

"How could this be..."

Lei Ao turned, casting one last deep look at Ye Qingchen.

He wanted to speak.

But the next moment, his body trembled, the bloodline on his throat widened until blood surged forth, and like a felled tree, he crashed to the ground.

Silent!

Inside and outside the valley, dead silence reigned.

From Ye Qingchen's suppression, sudden counterattack, to slaying Lei Ao.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Yet these lightning-fast events were beyond everyone's expectations.

Initially.

They thought, killing so many Gold Medal Assassins was already Ye Qingchen's limit. But nobody anticipated that he could even take down Lei Ao, at Half-Step Profound Pill Realm!

This level of strength was beyond their expectations.

Too powerful!

Since when did Celestial Peak Country have such a young talent?

"Wow!"

While everyone was shocked.

Ye Qingchen's body trembled slightly and spat out a mouthful of blood; his face grew paler.

"Ye Qingchen, are you okay?"

Jiang Churan hurried over, ignoring her own injuries, and supported Ye Qingchen.

Everyone else looked on nervously.

Because.

Ye Qingchen's entire body was drenched in blood, completely like a person made of blood.

"It's nothing!" Ye Qingchen shook his head, "After all, Lei Ao was a strong Half-Step Profound Pill, I had sustained severe injuries earlier... I need to heal first..."

Immediately.

Ye Qingchen sat cross-legged, operating the Star Technique, beginning to heal.

Seeing this, Hong Man and Jiang Churan quietly stood nearby, guarding him.

Feng Wan and others exchanged glances, then began clearing the battlefield.

After all.

So many people died here, the scent of blood was overwhelming, if not cleaned up, it would easily attract other beasts in Two Realms Mountain.

Thus.

Time passed minute by minute.

Until nightfall.

Ye Qingchen slowly opened his eyes.

"Ye Qingchen, how are you, are you feeling better?"

Jiang Churan was the first to notice Ye Qingchen had awakened, she hurriedly asked.

"Much better!"

Ye Qingchen smiled and replied.

The Nine Revolutions Star Technique truly lived up to its reputation as an Ancient Technique; although it hadn't cured him, it had stabilized his injuries. With just a little more time, he would be fully healed.

"Ye Qingchen, I'm sorry! Our previous attitude was somewhat harsh, we failed to recognize Mount Tai." Feng Wan stepped forward, seemingly gathering courage to speak. "We shouldn't have spoken to you that way earlier..."

"No matter!"

Ye Qingchen waved his hand.

He certainly wasn't one to bear grudges, otherwise, he would have taught them a lesson directly back then.

"Now that there are no obstacles, let's venture into the valley and see what is the source of the beast swarm!" Ye Qingchen gradually rose; this was their reason for coming to Two Realms Mountain.

"Alright!"

Everyone exchanged a glance and stepped towards the valley.

Curiously enough.

This valley was not marked on the Two Realms Mountain map.

Yet intriguingly.

The valley was filled with an abundance of flowers, rich with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, even twice as much as outside.

"This place is just like the Guangling Secret Realm!"

Hong Man couldn't help but say.

"Indeed!"

Ye Qingchen nodded.

This area is naturally gifted, extremely rare indeed. Only the Guangling Secret Realm he had visited previously could compare, but unfortunately, this place sits deep in Two Realms Mountain, more dangerous than the Guangling Secret Realm, unfit for long-term cultivation.

"Typically, where Spiritual Qi congregates, there are numerous beasts gathered. Yet here, there's not a single beast shadow. The only explanation is a stronger beast has dominated this land."

Ye Qingchen's eyes swept across the surroundings, speaking softly.

Feng Wan furrowed her brow, "But the terrain of this valley is flat, vast, it shouldn't be possible for a beast to hide here!"

Ye Qingchen also squinted.

One must know.

Beasts are extremely territorial, particularly about their domain.

If a powerful beast resided here, they couldn't possibly enter the valley without any reaction.

"Let's split up and search."

Ye Qingchen suggested.

Immediately, they separated, starting to search around.

"Strange, I can sense a vast yet very diluted demon aura here..." Ye Qingchen's eyes scanned left and right, his heart constantly pondering, "Why is this happening?"

Just then, Jiang Churan suddenly called out from a distance:

"I found it, there's a cave here!"
