This was an incredibly dazzling sword strike.

Everyone saw it.

A long arc of light shot out from the ruins of Linyuan Tower, like an aurora soaring to the sky, even suppressing the flames that illuminated most of the sky. In an incredible manner, it blasted towards the heavens, towards Yuan Shisan!

"How dare you!"

A trace of fury surged in Yuan Shisan's eyes.

He had never imagined that Ye Qingchen would dare to counterattack, or even dare to strike at him.

"Die for me!"

With a furious roar.

Even Yuan Shisan couldn't help but be truly angered at this moment.

He extended his hands, though empty, as if holding something immensely heavy. His sleeves billowed, white hair flowing and standing on end.

The searing flames in the city, drawn to him, quickly gathered around him, transforming into flaming spears. These spears, each a full zhang long, were translucent and gleamed like they were forged from blood jade.

Ninety thousand spears of fire condensed!

"Swoosh!"

Almost simultaneously as they formed, they fiercely shot towards Ye Qingchen.

Rumble!

The ninety thousand flaming spears streaked through the sky like a world-shaking fiery dragon, spanning three hundred zhang and crossing most of the sky.

Their attacks swiftly crossed the sky and fiercely collided.

In everyone's view.

This was surely going to be Yuan Shisan's overwhelming victory.

But who would have thought.

Ye Qingchen's sword strike, like a forceful tide, smashed through the ninety thousand flaming spears. With almost no obstruction, it pierced straight through.

Directly aimed at Yuan Shisan's brow.

"What?"

Yuan Shisan's expression slightly changed.

However.

As an established expert, and as the Great Elder of the Slaughter Hall, he quickly composed himself.

"Unite!"

Yuan Shisan commanded deeply, clapping his hands together before him. The shattered flaming spears transformed into countless flames, like spiritual snakes of fire, quickly gathering in front of him, forming a massive shield.

"Clang!"

The brilliant sword light struck this fiery shield, erupting into a magnificent display of sparks.

Though it blocked the strike.

Yuan Shisan's body trembled violently, losing balance and staggering backward.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

At this moment.

A collective gasp echoed through the city.

From Ye Qingchen's strike to shattering the fiery dragon, and then to forcing Yuan Shisan back, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

Yet, what happened in this instant was beyond anyone's expectations.

"This Ye Qingchen is terrifying!"

"He actually dared to strike at Yuan Shisan, and even managed to push him back! Such boldness and courage are beyond ordinary!"

"The power of that sword strike was absolutely overwhelming, definitely not an ordinary move! To forcibly tear apart that fiery dragon, it's simply unheard of!"

Black Abyss City first fell silent.

Then, cries of amazement and shouts spread from all directions, sweeping across the entire city.

Listening to the surrounding uproar, Yuan Shisan's face darkened, almost dripping with water. For someone of his cultivation realm, being publicly repelled by Ye Qingchen was a life's humiliation.

However.

The more this happened, the more intense the killing intent in his heart became.

The potential Ye Qingchen exhibited was too frightening, and if not eradicated, would unquestionably become a major threat to the Spirit Coffin Sect in the future.

Just then.

As Yuan Shisan was about to make his move, Ding Qitian stepped forward.

Of course, he wasn't trying to stop him.

Rather, because Ye Qingchen was his son's murderer, he naturally wished to personally avenge his enemy with blood.

"Ye Qingchen, I didn't expect that under such circumstances, you would dare to engage Yuan Shisan. Such boldness and courage genuinely earn my respect!"

Ding Qitian declared loudly, but then his voice darkened: "However, you should never, ever have laid a hand on my son!"

Ye Qingchen furrowed his brows and replied coldly: "Does that mean your son can bully others, act recklessly? If he wanted to kill me, should I have just stood there and let him do it?"

"Exactly!"

Ding Qitian flicked his long sleeves, righteously declaring: "What are you that you could be compared to my son? If my son wanted to kill you, you should have just stood there and let him do it!"

"Since you dared to lay a hand on my son, today I will use your blood to honor my son's spirit in the sky!"

Boom!

Finishing his speech, he stomped in the void, his entire body surging with True Qi, an ominous aura erupting forth. The dark clouds and black fog enveloping the sky became even more condensed at this moment.

As if a heavy black cloud directly pressed down on Black Abyss City.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Yuan Shisan remained silent, but his cultivation also surged forth. A lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit; he neither wishes nor intends to give Ye Qingchen any chance to overturn the situation. This boy must die here today.

The crimson True Qi rose like flames, and the two torrents of energy converged in mid-air, with no resistance, instead merging in a bizarre manner, seemingly splitting the sky over Black Abyss City in half—one dark, one bright red.

Boom!

Two Ninth Heaven Profound Pill Realm experts simultaneously unleashed their auras, the momentum overwhelming like mountains crashing down, engulfing the entire Black Abyss City in an instant.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Under this pressure, Spiritual Sea Realm cultivators couldn't sustain themselves and knelt on the ground immediately. Even Profound Pill Realm experts could only manage to hold on with great effort.

Of course.

Such a tremendous commotion couldn't escape the notice of the other inhabitants of the city.

At the same time.

Many Eighth Heaven and even Ninth Heaven Profound Pill Realm experts stood watching, with their arms crossed and looking up with furrowed brows at the sky. Yet, uninvolved and detached, they had no intention of intervening.

Only feeling somewhat regretful inside, Ye Qingchen indeed showed exceptional potential, remarkably brilliant, yet today it concludes in such a manner. Despite this, they wouldn't dare offend two Ninth Heaven Profound Pill Realm experts for Ye Qingchen's sake.

Even less likely for others.

Under these terrifying pressures, they didn't even have the courage to move a finger, let alone resist.

Boom! Boom!

When the two torrents of energy reached their peak.

As if agreed upon, they simultaneously charged towards Ye Qingchen.

"Ye Qingchen, die!"

Ding Qitian shouted coldly, his body like a raging dragon, wildly charging forward.

"Meet your end!"

Yuan Shisan spun around, as if a fiery extreme light, crazily roaring ahead.

Almost in an instant, they were already upon Ye Qingchen.

Ye Qingchen's gaze turned icy.

Three pills had already appeared in his palm.

These were the Explosive Yang Pills given to him by Kong Shun!

However.

Kong Shun had said, unless absolutely necessary, under no circumstances should he take the Explosive Spirit Pills. But facing this situation, he had no room for hesitation or delay.

Upon witnessing this.

Everyone silently shook their heads.

Having seen Yuan Shisan strike previously, in this situation, they didn't believe Ye Qingchen could survive the combined efforts of the two Ninth Heaven Profound Pill Realm experts!

Unexpectedly, just then.

A faint spear sound quietly appeared in the void.

Initially weak, as if from a distant void. Before anyone reacted, the spear sound had already spread over Black Abyss City.

"What's that?"

In that moment.

Everyone couldn't help but look up together.

And then.

They witnessed an unforgettable sight.

A blue light like a raging dragon, almost without warning, appeared out of the void, tearing apart the black and red clouds in the sky, revealing a bright world!

Tens of thousands of feet away, almost in the blink of an eye, descended, directly striking towards Yuan Shisan and Ding Qitian!

"What?"

Yuan Shisan and Ding Qitian trembled simultaneously.

In that moment, they only felt a torrent of danger enveloping them entirely, causing the hairs on their bodies to stand on end.

"Thud!"

In the shocked eyes of the crowd.

The blue light weighed heavily on the two.

"Spurt!"

Yuan Shisan and Ding Qitian spat a mouthful of blood, like arrows leaving a string, cutting through the void, crashing harshly into the ground.

Thud!

A loud impact.

The blue light firmly nailed to the ground, raising endless dust. Like a Celestial Stream, it blocked the path to escape!

"What is that?"

Everyone hurriedly looked.

Seeing the light gradually fade, revealing its original form. It was a blue spear, ancient and simple, seamlessly integrated, stuck into the ground.

Simultaneously.

A blue figure slowly descended, landing atop the ancient spear. He raised his head, his gaze sweeping over everyone in Black Abyss City, finally settling on Yuan Shisan and Ding Qitian:

"Who gave you the courage to bully a disciple of Taotian Palace?"
