"Clang!"

The sound of a sword resonated quietly.

Ci Xuan charged forward with the momentum of a wild tiger, an unstoppable force capable of tearing through all obstacles in its path.

However.

A dazzling sword beam swiftly flashed through the void. In the depths of everyone's eyes, the ferociously charging Ci Xuan suddenly trembled, quietly split into two, and fell heavily to the ground amidst the splatter of blood.

"This..."

Gongyang Yu and Su Muzhe almost jumped up.

They saw it.

A graceful young man stood proudly there. By his side, Cheng Xue and Xue Qin's expressions had already changed greatly. They never expected that the young man traveling with them would not only suddenly speak but also, at the same time, slay Ci Xuan with a single sword strike.

It was none other than Ye Qingchen who made the move!

The many observers present were also full of shock.

They also did not expect that the young man who interrupted earlier would kill the seemingly unstoppable Ci Xuan with just a single strike.

Lei Ming, who had already turned to leave, paused in his steps and stared ahead intensely.

The overwhelming killing intent immediately swept forth.

"Who are you?" Lei Ming squinted his eyes.

Bang!

This unreserved, undisguised killing intent roiled forth like a rising tide.

Earlier, he had seen this young man and thought him just a cultivator at the Celestial Saint Fifth Layer, thus dismissing him. But who would have thought, he actually killed Ci Xuan?

Shrouded by this killing intent, Xue Qin felt a chill encompassing him, as if his entire blood was frozen, to the point he didn't dare move a finger.

He had been terrified out of his wits when Lei Ming killed Shi Tianfeng earlier.

However.

Under this killing intent, Ye Qingchen remained calm, "Lei Ming, didn't you want to find me just now? Now that I've stepped out, you pretend not to know me?"

"Ye Qingchen?"

Lei Ming's eyes sharpened.

"Indeed!" Ye Qingchen nodded slightly, "I didn't expect you to be so strong. Even twelve strongest Celestial Saints couldn't deal with you. No wonder you dare to cross the seas and wreak havoc in the Eastern Domain!"

"But since I'm here, everything should end!"

The defeat of the twelve strongest Celestial Saints was too swift, so swift that he didn't even have a chance to intervene. And when the Land of Ultimate Treasure opened earlier, it stirred a feeling of unease in him, which is why he was delayed for a moment.

"Ye Qingchen?"

Everyone's eyes widened.

As if unable to accept that this seemingly unremarkable young man before them was actually the renowned Ye Qingchen of the Tongxuan Continent.

"Too reckless!"

Gongyang Yu was extremely anxious at heart.

Although he admired Ye Qingchen's bravery in stepping forward at such a time, courage alone wasn't enough—strength was also needed.

Lei Ming was simply too powerful.

So powerful that it was despairing. Even when twelve strongest Celestial Saints joined forces, they were defeated completely. How could Ye Qingchen, only at the Celestial Saint Fifth Layer, stand against Lei Ming?

"Should everything end?" Lei Ming laughed heartily, eyes almost overflowing with menace, "With just you? A boy at the Celestial Saint Fifth Layer?"

As he spoke, he took a sudden step forward, and the previously restrained Asura Demon Aspect erupted from him. This overwhelming aura and pressure were even more terrifying than before.

Su Muzhe's face instantly turned three shades paler. If Lei Ming had emanated this aura from the start, they might not have even had the courage to make a move.

"Indeed!"

Ye Qingchen nodded proudly.

"Good, good, good!" Lei Ming laughed in rage, his voice thundering and reverberating through the void, his eyes shooting fierce light. If looks could kill, Ye Qingchen would have been torn to pieces already.

"Ye Qingchen, how arrogant you are!"

"Earlier, I regretted that you weren't in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and I couldn't settle it with you personally! Since you're here, I'll use your blood to avenge the fallen disciples of the Celestial God Sect!"

Finishing his words, he fiercely stomped his foot, and the demonic qi around him surged several times over, like a black beam piercing the heavens, shooting into the skies.

The aura erupted in full force by Lei Ming, at the peak of Heavenly Saint Eighth Layer, was terrifying.

At this moment, it cascaded like a flood, spilling out and spreading towards all directions from Cloud Heaven Mountain. Wherever the aura passed, the abundant forest in the Hundred Thousand Mountains was crushed to fragments.

When this aura reached its zenith.

Lei Ming swept his cloak, surging with a vast demonic qi, like a black lightning bolt shooting across the sky, charging straight at Ye Qingchen!

"Perish!"

Simultaneously.

He shouted deeply, raising his hand for a virtual press, and the surging demonic qi materialized into a finely detailed, scaled talon, descending like the claw of a primordial beast, crushing down directly.

Crackle!

The giant talon descended, shattering the void, producing a terrifying sound.

It kicked up a fierce wind, throwing Gongyang Yu, Su Muzhe, and others present hundreds of meters away. Unable to climb back up, they quickly gazed towards the front.

They saw the palm had already descended, appearing like the sky collapsing from afar. And at the point where the giant palm crushed down, only Ye Qingchen remained.

"Not good!"

Gongyang Yu's face changed drastically. He quickly looked at Su Muzhe, "Can we save him? We can't just watch a junior die in front of us, can we?"

Su Muzhe grimly shook his head, "How can we save him? Even at our peak, we couldn't handle Lei Ming, let alone in our current broken state?"

"Be careful!"

Cheng Xue couldn't help but cry out, filled with worry.

Before, Cheng Xue always regarded Ye Qingchen as a deity. But after witnessing Lei Ming's brutality, her heart was left with deep dread, and she believed that no matter how strong Ye Qingchen might be, he couldn't possibly match him.

Not only Cheng Xue, but the others present shared the same thoughts.

They didn't think Ye Qingchen could be a match against Lei Ming, who was akin to a Divine Demon.

However.

Facing Lei Ming's sky-palming strike, Ye Qingchen showed no fear. Instead, he took a step forward and slowly raised his right hand, striking forward. This strike looked feeble and effortless, reminiscent of a final, futile struggle by Ye Qingchen.

But.

The vast talon descending met Ye Qingchen's strike and unexpectedly shattered instantly. Transforming into a raging tide, it turned back and rushed towards Lei Ming.

"How is this possible?"

Lei Ming exclaimed, eyes filled with disbelief. He twisted his hands, the Asura Demon Aspect behind him trembled, and six arms swung simultaneously, producing numerous palm shadows to smash the returning demonic qi.

However, before he could take a breath, a jade-like hand, encircled by fierce winds, broke through the dissipating demonic qi and aimed directly for his chest.

"Begone!"

Seeing this, Lei Ming's pupils contracted, and he shouted explosively.

The countless palm shadows suddenly condensed into a single, powerful strike charging straight ahead.

"Boom!"

The two palms collided, unleashing the power hidden within.

Lei Ming's body trembled visibly.

The Asura Demon Aspect behind him was struck as if by lightning, the large hand that clashed with Ye Qingchen's exploded, followed by the arm, shoulder...

In an instant, the demon aspect's body seemed to be detonated like explosives, shattering into countless black gleams that dissipated into the air.

"What?"

Lei Ming gasped, spreading his arms like great wings, rapidly retreating backward.

But before he could catch his breath, the jade-like hand was already upon him, whirling the fierce wind and shattering the remaining demonic energy, striking fiercely.

"Boom!"

A mighty noise, Lei Ming's black robe shattered on the spot, like scattered black butterflies. Under that single blow, he lost all balance, shooting backward like an arrow off the string.

Ten Thousand Mountains fell into a deathly silence.

In the incredulous eyes of everyone, Ye Qingchen stepped into the sky, his gaze icy and proud, saying:

"Lei Ming, now you tell me, can I put an end to you?"
