"Who is it?"

In an instant.

Numerous disciples of the Spirit Coffin Sect all turned to look.

They saw a handsome young man standing there, arms folded, seemingly disregarding everyone around him.

"What are you, to say such things to us?"

Shi Jingtian's face darkened.

He had noticed this young man early on upon arrival but found that his cultivation was only at the Profound Pill First Heaven, and his aura was unstable, not taking action against the Black Flame Flood Dragon, so Shi Jingtian didn't pay him any heed.

Yet, he never imagined this kid would dare utter such words.

"Ye Qingchen, are you trying to get us killed?"

Wei Ziping's eyes were full of panic.

Shi Jingtian was not someone to be trifled with; if truly angered, they would likely all perish in this dark forest.

"Ye Qingchen, forget it... Let's just give them the Black Flame Flood Dragon!"

Luo Huan also nervously chimed in from the side.

"Relax, they are not my match." Ye Qingchen reassured Luo Huan, then directly faced Shi Jingtian, "Leave the dark forest now, or don't blame me for being rude!"

The Spirit Coffin Sect members were truly domineering.

The Black Flame Flood Dragon was clearly their prey, yet the opponents showed no regard, attacking and robbing as soon as they appeared.

Furthermore, Ye Qingchen needed the dragon's heart for alchemy; how could he agree to give it away?

"You're telling us to leave?"

The disciples of the Spirit Coffin Sect couldn't believe their ears.

A kid at the Profound Pill First Heaven dared to tell them to leave?

Shi Jingtian could no longer contain his rage, his face growing increasingly sinister: "Such arrogance, let's see what qualifications and courage you have to make us leave!"

Ye Qingchen coldly glanced at Shi Jingtian and said, "Even if Shi Potian were here, he wouldn't dare say such things to me!"

"You're courting death!"

Shi Jingtian's expression shifted sharply, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

His brother Shi Potian held a significant place in his heart. Due to a recent journey to the Cyan Continent, his brother's cultivation was crippled, which is why he came to the dark forest to hunt the Black Flame Flood Dragon and use its heart to heal his brother.

This kid dared to insult his brother right to his face, deserving the worst punishment!

With those words.

Shi Jingtian roared and lunged at Ye Qingchen.

"Clang!"

His longsword unfolded.

"Ninefold Mountain Sword!"

As it emerged, the overlapping shadows of the sword erupted again.

Ninefold Mountain Sword.

Profound-grade top-quality swordsmanship!

One layer of sword equals one mountain, nine layers of sword equal nine mountains. When the edge of the ninefold sword descends, it truly crushes like nine towering mountains, shredding the earth around.

"This kid is just asking for death!"

Wei Ziping's face turned pale with fright.

"Is he crazy?" Others couldn't help but curse.

Even with their combined forces, they couldn't stop Shi Jingtian. And Ye Qingchen, merely at the Profound Pill First Heaven, didn't even dare engage the Black Flame Flood Dragon—isn't challenging him tantamount to seeking death?

Under the overwhelming power of that sword, they couldn't even stand, nearly falling to their knees.

As for the Spirit Coffin Sect disciples, they sneered with grim smiles.

After all!

Angering Senior Brother Shi Jingtian would not end well!

"Ye Qingchen, be careful!"

Luo Huan couldn't help but cry out.

However.

What happened next left everyone in shock.

Ye Qingchen slowly extended his right hand and waved.

In an instant.

A surge of immense power erupted like a roaring tide, almost without warning. Beneath Ye Qingchen's feet, the ground exploded, and massive strength surged forth like a mad dragon, dragging a long, deep scar on the earth, crashing towards Shi Jingtian.

"Boom!"

Under the eyes of many, filled with disbelief.

The ninefold sword shadow, like nine mountains crushing down, was shattered like twigs in a tide under that single palm.

"Not good!"

As Ye Qingchen raised his palm, Shi Jingtian sensed something was wrong, hurriedly retrieved his sword defensively, yet still took the brunt of Ye Qingchen's palm.

"Dong!"

A sound like a great bell's chime resounded.

Shi Jingtian spewed a mouthful of blood, losing balance and flying backward, crashing into towering ancient trees, before slamming into a twenty-plus meter tall black stone, leaving it covered in cracks...

Silence!

The poolside was deathly quiet, a pin-drop could be heard.

Nobody expected.

Ye Qingchen would send Shi Jingtian flying with just a wave of his hand.

"Impossible!"

Wei Ziping's mouth hung open.

"This..."

Other disciples of the Vast Sea Sect were equally astonished, full of disbelief.

The previously arrogant disciples of the Spirit Coffin Sect were almost popping their eyes out. Where did this young man's extraordinary strength come from?

"You bastard... you dare to hurt me? Today, I'll ensure none of you escape alive! Everyone, attack at once, chop this bastard to bits!"

From afar.

Shi Jingtian slowly got up, his eyes burning with fury, his throat releasing deep growls.

Clang!

Almost simultaneously.

Sounds of weapons being drawn filled the air.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At once.

Seven or eight overwhelming auras erupted from the disciples of the Spirit Coffin Sect. Although they weren't as powerful as Shi Jingtian, they still reached around the Profound Pill Third Layer.

Their terrifying presence, akin to an ocean, swept towards Ye Qingchen. Fallen leaves caught in it were immediately shredded to pieces.

"Not good!"

The Vast Sea Sect disciples panicked, retreating frantically.

Especially Wei Ziping, who ran the fastest.

As soon as Shi Jingtian attacked, he had already lost his nerve. Even though Ye Qingchen sent Shi Jingtian flying with a palm, he didn't believe Ye Qingchen could defeat Shi Jingtian.

Moreover.

There were so many disciples of the Spirit Coffin Sect present.

This was something they absolutely couldn't withstand!

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

Amidst shouted commands.

The Spirit Coffin Sect disciples unleashed their strongest moves, rushing at Ye Qingchen.

Terrifying sword Qi filled most of the sky.

Shi Jingtian let out a deep shout.

He stepped out, and the Ninefold Mountain descended powerfully; as sword shadows filled the sky, he rotated his sword, the unceasing sword shadows merging quietly like a unification of ten thousand swords into a singular, ancient yet simple sword strike.

But this strike was the essence of the Ninefold Mountain Sword.

Its power even reached Earth Grade Lower.

It was a delayed yet swift strike, as if an avalanche, crushing towards Ye Qingchen without warning, sweeping lands in front of them.

Such power made the Vast Sea Sect disciples change colors drastically.

"Seems you're still unconvinced!"

Facing the existential sword shadows, Ye Qingchen's gaze darkened. "If that's the case, then I'll make you submit!"

With those words.

Ye Qingchen took a sudden step forward.

The Netherworld Sword clanged out.

"Clang!"

A clear sword sound reverberated through the air.

In an instant.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on a dazzling sword light, as if ancient winds tore through, capable of ripping the heavens and earth apart!
