Ye Chen's appearance shocked all the True Martial Guards present.

Lately, there had been rumors everywhere that Ye Chen perished in the forbidden disaster unleashed in the Flame Desert.

The Bright Hall had remained silent, seemingly affirming the rumor.

Yet here was Ye Chen, alive, standing before them!

Covered in blood, Ren Ying and Lu Feiyu supported each other, looking at Ye Chen's back. A deeply complex expression emerged on both women's faces.

Lu Feiyu suddenly smiled and said, "Sister Ying, he's back."

Ren Ying's eyes were somewhat blurry, yet she smiled and said, "I knew he wouldn't die so easily. He promised me that he would kill the rest of the alien races my brother couldn't."

At this moment.

The surrounding battle continued, and Ye Chen had no mind to deal with other Blood Robe Tower assassins; this guy named Blood Eagle was the toughest.

Seventh-Layer of Unity Realm Cultivation, and extremely bloodthirsty with formidable combat power!

Blood Eagle's cold gaze assessed Ye Chen, and he sneered with disdain, "I thought you'd be much stronger, but it turns out you're just a mere Mortal Transformation Realm waste.

I've heard of the Seven-Star Sword Array performed by one person; you must be Ye Chen, ranked eighty-sixth on the Qingyun List."

Around Ye Chen, swords whistled as their sharp aura radiated. He said, "I don't change my name while alive or dead. The one to kill you is Ye Chen of the True Martial Hall Bright Hall!"

Blood Eagle snorted and said, "I've killed geniuses ranked seventieth on the Qingyun List; you're just eighty-sixth. Killing you is as easy as stomping an ant!"

A cold gleam flashed in Ye Chen's eyes, and with a thought, the Seven-Star Sword Array roared out.

Blood Eagle swung his blade.

The blade's light was like a sea of blood, brutal and terrifying.

This was completely different from Ye Chen's Slaughter Sword Intent, which manifested a Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea.

The blood sea of Slaughter Sword Intent was purely a power of intent.

However, Blood Eagle's blood-colored blade light came from killing a large number of people; his blade absorbed significant Qi Blood, and each move unleashed the Qi Blood contained in the blade.

This blood-colored blade light carried an incredibly venomous aura!

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The seven Top-grade Spiritual Swords were successively sent flying by Blood Eagle's long blade.

Gold light burst at Ye Chen's feet as he lunged toward Blood Eagle, a layer of illusion appearing in front of Blood Eagle from the power in Ye Chen's eyes.

Blood Eagle's expression froze.

Ye Chen slashed with force, a Cyan Dragon Illusion appearing within the sword light, its might dazzling.

Just as the sword was about to fall on Blood Eagle, he let out a roar, forcibly breaking free from the illusion's influence, and placed his blade horizontally before him.

The power of an illusion has less effect on those with firmer resolve.

This Blood Eagle, ruthless and bloodthirsty, showcased another form of firm resolve, allowing him to swiftly shake off the illusion and block Ye Chen's sword in time.

"Clang!"

Blade and sword clashed, and Blood Eagle's body crashed to the swamp ground like a cannonball.

The swamp floor exploded into a giant crater, with mud splattering in all directions. Ye Chen dove down, the seven Top-grade Spiritual Swords that were just sent flying whistling back to circle around him.

"Blood Slaughter Three Strikes: Frenzied Blood Slaughter!"

An angry roar erupted from the crater, with a solidified-looking blood-colored blade light ripping the ground, fiercely slashing toward Ye Chen.

The power of this slash was quite overbearing, its speed astoundingly fast.

The seven Top-grade Spiritual Swords instantly formed a web of swords, blocking before Ye Chen.

"Boom!"

The Seven-Star Sword Array was immediately shattered by this strike, the blood-colored blade light slicing even Ye Chen's body apart!

"An eighty-sixth ranked Qingyun List waste dared to engage me. How naive!" Blood Eagle's mud-covered body flew out of the pit, mocking.

But just as he spoke, the whizzing sound was already in his ears, and the dense light from the Sword Qi was like an ocean, stretching into a continuous sheet before him!

These Sword Qi seemed to have appeared from thin air.

This was due to Ye Chen enhancing the Void Clarity Sword Technique.

What Blood Eagle smashed was merely a remnant image of Ye Chen, and when the Seven-Star Sword Array was dispersed, Ye Chen had already used the Heaven-Ascending Step to dodge aside.

Blood Eagle was flustered by the sudden dense Sword Qi, lines of blood spraying from his body.

In an instant, Blood Eagle's body was covered in gashes sliced open by Sword Qi!

Blood Eagle roared in fury.

"Blood Slaughter Three Strikes: Blood Ash Celestial Vault!"

As he spoke, he swept his long blade, a blood light like a torrent pouring from its tip.

The blood-colored light engulfed the sky and the earth, its malice-infested energy fiercely attacking Ye Chen!

Ye Chen's mind moved, and his invincible Slaughter Sword Momentum burst forth.

Both powers were slaughter-based.

Yet, Ye Chen's killing aura carried a majestic and grand sense, shattering the cyclic impacts of blood light.

Blood Eagle's eyes turned entirely blood-red, like two blood seas churning. He continually roared, advancing on Ye Chen with successive slashes.

Ye Chen called back the seven Top-grade Spiritual Swords, forming the Seven-Star Sword Array, and engaged in intense close combat with Blood Eagle using precise sword moves and the power of the sword array!

The collision of blade light and Sword Qi stirred up terrifying gales!

At this moment, both the assassins of Blood Robe Tower and the True Martial Guards were utterly shocked.

Everyone knew Blood Eagle's power well; even Lu Feiyu and Ren Ying together couldn't withstand a single slash from him.

Yet, Ye Chen could fight Blood Eagle to a standstill... Could this truly be the strength of the Qingyun List's eighty-sixth rank?

At this time.

Ren Ying took a deep breath and charged out; though heavily injured, she couldn't just watch Ye Chen battle the Blood Robe Tower assassins. She couldn't help Ye Chen directly, but she could fight the other assassins!

Lu Feiyu did the same.

The severely injured Xiao Mo also mustered his strength, standing up to join the battle.

They were all inspired by Ye Chen.

Indeed, they could see that Ye Chen was having a hard time against Blood Eagle... But Ye Chen refused to back down even one step, risking his life in a fight to the death with Blood Eagle!

And for today's battle, Ye Chen didn't have to get involved.

If Ye Chen wished to leave, they all knew that, with his speed, he could easily escape the battlefield. However, Ye Chen never intended to retreat.

In a moment.

The disadvantaged True Martial Guards were now high in spirits, each face resolved with a relentless determination, gradually stabilizing the situation.

However, everyone, whether a True Martial Guard or a Blood Robe Tower assassin, knew one thing clearly: the outcome of the battle hinged on Ye Chen and Blood Eagle's duel!

At present, Ye Chen felt quite helpless inside.

Ren Ying, Lu Feiyu, Xiao Mo... Why are you all charging in?

He knew his own condition well. It looked like he was struggling, but he was totally fine; his strong physique was shining now.

The tough appearance was because of using the Martial Arts Celestial Eye to constantly analyze Blood Eagle's energy maneuvering, seeking the chance to unleash the Void Sword for a lethal strike!

Now it seems... If he doesn't finish the fight promptly, Ren Ying and the others won't be killed by Blood Robe Tower assassins; they'd probably explode with their own strength.

With a silent grumble, Ye Chen couldn't wait for opportunities any longer. In the next moment, the Light Sword Intent erupted thunderously, blinding sword light fully replacing the blood light, with countless Sword Qi shooting toward Blood Eagle.

Blood Eagle's eyes were dazed from the intense light, a strong sense of crisis forming in his heart.

"Blood Wave Double Dragon Slash!"

Blood Eagle roared fiercely, his skin rupturing, blood vessels bursting, and his aura explosively peaking as a blood-red two-headed serpent illusion emerged!

This move was the third strike in his Blood Slaughter Three Strikes!

The blood-red two-headed serpent shielded Blood Eagle completely, blocking all Sword Qi impacts and shattering the dazzling sea of sword light.

However, Ye Chen had disappeared!

Blood Eagle's expression tightened, and the next moment, the Sword Qi that had barely missed him abruptly reversed.

Ye Chen's figure, guided by the Sword Qi's position, appeared behind Blood Eagle in an instant. He clutched his sword with both hands and slashed fiercely at the back of Blood Eagle's head!
