Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Therefore, the fate of a middle-aged person with a high nose and deep-set eyes is already predetermined.

However, it won't be that easy.

After catching up with the middle-aged man with a high nose and deep-set eyes, Ye Chen crippled his mobility while he was screaming and struggling.

Sakura can't die yet; she has other uses for him.

At least we can extract some intelligence, or hand it over to the organization, and eventually uncover some value!

Ye Chen brought back the crippled, high-nosed, deep-eyed middle-aged man, threw him to the ground like a dead dog, and then went to the dark, short, flat-faced middle-aged man!

The white-browed old man looked at the middle-aged man with a high nose and deep-set eyes on the ground, his face ashen!

How is that possible? How could Ye Chen, at such a young age, possess such strength?

First, they crippled Elder Wu, then silently ambushed him, roasted Elder Su alive in one move, and now they've even turned the high-nosed, deep-eyed middle-aged man into a human stick...

The whole thing took less than three minutes!

This is almost too dreamy!

One person fighting against four Foundation Establishment cultivators?

Is this something an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator could do?

Now, their only remaining fighting force is that short, dark-skinned, flat-faced middle-aged man...

Is it really a lost cause?

Elder Bai Mei roared in anger, "Disciples of the Luo Shui Sect, listen to my command! Ye Chen murdered an elder of the Luo Shui Sect! Seize him!"

If you can't beat him one-on-one, then gang up on him. There are hundreds of disciples in the Luoshui Sect; we can wear him down.

To his disappointment, no one took any action after he finished speaking.

He even saw people looking at him like he was an idiot.

Even the young man who had just knelt down and stood up to express his opinion lowered his head and quietly became invisible!

The ordinary disciples may not be strong, but that doesn't mean they can't understand the situation!

Elder Xu, you're barely able to protect yourself, who's going to listen to your orders?

Reality is often this cruel.

Elder Bai Mei gritted his teeth and continued, "Whoever kills Ye Chen will become the sect's Holy Son, and the future sect leader will also be his!"

The temptation was undeniably strong; it certainly made one feel momentarily carried away...

But reality pulled them back!

You bunch of Foundation Establishment experts have been beaten to this state. What's the point of saying all this now? No matter how big the promise is, you still have to actually eat it.

Whether you yourselves will even live to see that day is another matter entirely.

The disciples around him also looked on with sighs.

Those who knew Ye Chen were shocked by his new achievement: defeating four Foundation Establishment experts single-handedly, with only a slightly dirty hem of his clothes. His strength was even more impressive than what was shown in the video.

Those who had just met Ye Chen were amazed that such a prodigy truly existed; at such a young age, he possessed such strength, and they couldn't help but admire him.

It just goes to show that there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding!

Those who were originally part of the Holy Maiden faction experienced a rollercoaster ride.

At first, everyone thought the Holy Maiden's faction was finished, and they all declared they would change their stance and threatened to execute Elder Li...

So now they're being told that the Saintess faction seems to be doing well again?

Elder Xu and Elder Wu were crippled, and Elder Su even smelled burnt...

The situation is quite clear!

As long as Ye Chen and the Holy Maiden join forces to deal with the short, flat-faced middle-aged man, the situation on the scene will stabilize!

Two Foundation Establishment cultivators ganging up on one person—the outcome is obvious.

Therefore, the ultimate victor was the Saintess's faction.

Holy crap, I've chosen the wrong side!

Many people secretly slapped their thighs in disbelief!

They weren't worried about the Holy Maiden settling scores later, since it was a collective choice, and they knew the Holy Maiden's personality; she generally wouldn't make things difficult for them.

We can't possibly punish almost half of the disciples, can we?

Even if she wanted to, she couldn't do that, because the most important thing for a newly appointed person is to win people's hearts.

Although they don't have to worry about being held accountable, they regret missing out on a great opportunity!

If they had stood firmly on the side of the Holy Maiden from the beginning, they would have been her loyal followers once she came to power, and their status and position would have risen accordingly.

They'll be living the high life from now on!

Ah—they missed their chance after all!

This immense wealth should have belonged to them!

Just like stocks, if a stock that was holding was doing so-so suddenly started to fall, you might quickly sell it, only to see it hit its daily limit up...

He's kicking himself now.

......

The short, dark-skinned, flat-faced middle-aged man initially had the upper hand, but before he could enjoy his victory for long, Ye Chen's unethical flying sword crippled his Qi Sea!

In Ye Chen's view, martial virtue is something that needs to be taught to talented people, but it is completely unnecessary for beasts!

It's priceless, why waste that beauty!

With Ye Chen's current strength at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, unless he encounters a Golden Core expert, his flying sword is practically invincible among those of the same level!

Moreover, this is only a young cherry blossom at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage; there is absolutely no possibility of failure!

Firstly, sword control is a relatively rare technique on Earth today; it's not commonplace, and not many people know its true power!

Secondly, the sword control technique is extremely fast and very difficult to defend against. Unless you are fully focused in a 1v1 situation, have had professional dodging training, or have exceptionally strong intuition and mental strength, you will inevitably take a hit!

Thirdly, Ye Chen's spiritual power had long since reached the Golden Core realm. With such strong spiritual power and control over spiritual energy, the accuracy of his flying sword was such that it could hit any target he wanted!

Of course, a good flying sword is also very important; if it's an ordinary flying sword, the effect won't be as obvious!

Therefore, considering all of the above, Ye Chen's sudden attack with a flying sword that crippled a mid-Foundation Establishment stage Little Sakura was somewhat unexpected, but also reasonable!

After crippling the short, flat-faced middle-aged man, Ye Chen gained a new understanding of combat!

He had mastered quite a few techniques, including the Wind and Thunder Seal, Five Elements Techniques, Profound Thunder Technique, Illusion God Technique, Profound Heaven Sword Technique, and footwork techniques...

However, he found that the least reliable way to use flying swords to crush weaker opponents was the combination of Illusionary God Technique and Bagua Mirror, or the combination of Illusionary God Technique and flying sword!

In actual combat, he uses flying swords the most, and they are mostly effective. He has become quite adept at using them!

He also longed for hand-to-hand combat, a back-and-forth exchange of spiritual energy, a thrilling and exhilarating battle...

But that kind of scene seems to only exist on screen!

Or rather, such a battle is unlikely to occur under normal circumstances unless it is a friendly spar.

When it comes to a real life-or-death situation, all that's on everyone's mind is the optimal solution to quickly eliminate the opponent!

Using underhanded tactics can be considered a form of warfare; if one move can solve the problem, there's no need for two!

If you can defeat an enemy with a single sword strike, only someone with a screw loose would be foolish enough to waste their spiritual energy. Spiritual energy is free, isn't it? What if something unexpected happens?

Therefore, defeating the enemy in a simple and efficient way is what a cultivator or a martial artist should pursue!

Just like the Eight-Sword Technique of the martyrs, there are no fancy moves, just powerful slashes and fierce strikes. As long as it can cut down the cherry blossoms, it is a good sword technique.
