A ruthless bandit from the celestial realm, he began his cultivation journey after kidnapping the Em

Chapter 177 This outer disciple is acting strangely!

The Emperor Realm is practically a legendary existence, the strongest realm in the world. The Golden Core stage is naturally incomparable, but for these disciples with weak cultivation, the Golden Core stage is already an existence as vast as the heavens...

Even Lin Wanli thought so, let alone Lin Ningxue, who only had the third level of Qi Refining cultivation...

The Golden Core stage was a terrifyingly unattainable realm in her eyes...

"Senior brother...you're underestimating the Golden Core stage too much..." Lin Wanli couldn't help but smile wryly. He almost wanted to admit he was a pushover...

He couldn't muster any backbone in front of a Golden Core cultivator...

"This... the Golden Core stage is different, Senior Brother, don't be reckless, let's run..." Lin Ningxue said anxiously, afraid that Ye Chen would act impulsively...

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, the man in black not far away instantly turned grim, his dark eyes fixed on Ye Chen, a flash of murderous intent crossing his face...

"Boy... I only wanted the spirit stones you had..."

"But since you're so arrogant, I've changed my mind..."

"I want you to kneel down, kowtow, and admit your mistake, and hand over your storage bag with both hands..."

"Otherwise, I'll cripple your hands and feet, turning you into a useless person..."

......

The man in black spoke coldly, his voice carrying a hint of chill...

"You?"

Ye Chen glanced at the man in black and said calmly.

"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? You think you're worthy?"

"So what if you're only at the Golden Core stage? Do you really think you're invincible?"

"If you're so capable, why don't you become the sect leader of Qingyun Sect? We're all just disciples, what's there to be so arrogant about?"

"Grandpa, if I kneel down, aren't you afraid of shortening your lifespan?"

......

Man in black: ? ? ?

He was completely stunned by Ye Chen's sarcasm...

For a moment, he even doubted whether he had forgotten to release the pressure of the Golden Core stage.

How dare this kid be so arrogant?

I'm at the Golden Core stage, how come this kid doesn't give me any face at all?

The man in black couldn't help but fall into deep thought...

Are all outer disciples this arrogant nowadays?

Lin Ningxue and Lin Wanli, who were standing nearby, were terrified...

The two were surprised by Ye Chen's words. Not only did he not run away, but he also dared to criticize the other party.

Is this person really courting death?

"Senior brother...you...you should say less..." Lin Wanli said with a wry smile.

He used to think he was quite arrogant, but now, seeing Ye Chen, he knows what arrogance really means...

He could remain unfazed and even utter sarcastic remarks when facing a Golden Core stage expert; who could compare to him...?

"Senior brother, calm down... What if you anger him... and he kills someone?" Lin Ningxue was terrified, her face pale as she warned him, her blinking eyes desperately trying to signal to Ye Chen...

My senior brother is truly fearless...

If the other party gets angry and kills without considering the consequences, Ye Chen will be done for today...

The sect wouldn't cripple a promising direct disciple for the sake of an outer disciple; if Ye Chen died then, it would be a pointless death...

Seeing this, Ye Chen knew that Lin Ningxue and Lin Wanli were doing it for his own good, and nodded with a smile.

"Don't worry, I have a way to handle this..."

"A mere Golden Core cultivator is nothing..."

He could naturally sense the fluctuations in the black-clad man's aura and vaguely guess his strength...

With his current abilities, he might not be a match even if he went all out, but he still possesses a celestial-grade magic weapon, which is his greatest asset...

Back then, wielding a celestial sword, he even dared to spar with Nascent Soul stage experts. Naturally, dealing with a Golden Core stage cultivator was nothing to him...

Besides, the spirit stones and pills he carried were hard-earned savings; it would be such a waste to have them snatched away like this...

He simply couldn't bear to part with it, and would never give it up so easily...

He's always the one taking things from others, when did it become his turn to take things from others?

"this..."

Lin Ningxue and Lin Wanli were both stunned for a moment, looking at Ye Chen with hesitant expressions...

They wanted to say something more, but when they met Ye Chen's reassured gaze, they swallowed their words...

Since Ye Chen said that, although they thought it was impossible, they still chose to believe him...

At least Ye Chen never lied to them...

The man in black not far away was now furious, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he glared at Ye Chen...

"Kid, who gave you the courage?"

"A mere Golden Core? Aren't you afraid of exaggerating and getting yourself exposed..."

"Even if you've concealed your cultivation level, you're still only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Do you think you can be my match?"

"You think way too highly of yourself, don't you?"

"If I don't cripple you today, I'll take your surname..."

......

The man in black spoke aggressively to Ye Chen.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen smiled nonchalantly, a playful glint in his eyes, "My dear grandson, so eager to take your grandfather's surname?"

Man in black: ? ? ?

Upon hearing this, the man in black instantly flew into a rage...

He wasn't a good-tempered person to begin with, and after being mocked by Ye Chen time and time again, he finally couldn't take it anymore...

A surge of anger erupted, almost driving him to lose his mind...

"Kid, you're asking for it..."

As soon as the words were spoken, a surge of violent spiritual energy erupted from all around...

A terrifying, overwhelming pressure swept in...

Seeing this, Ye Chen took a step forward and waved his hand to create a spiritual energy shield, isolating the oppressive force from the outside...

"call..."

Lin Wanli and Lin Ningxue both breathed a sigh of relief...

If it weren't for Ye Chen protecting them, they would all be collapsed on the ground by now...

At this moment, their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at the man in black...

With such a formidable opponent, does Senior Brother really intend to fight him?

At this moment, both of them felt that Ye Chen was more like he was going to his death...

Don't you die?

"boom!"

The next second, the man in black swiftly charged towards Ye Chen, his speed as fast as a cannonball...

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, his expression immediately turning serious...

Despite his words, he was well aware of his opponent's formidable strength; after all, a Golden Core stage cultivation level was not to be underestimated...

He effortlessly grasped the immortal sword out of thin air and casually slashed forward...

"Buzz!"

A burst of sword energy suddenly slashed out...

"boom--"

The man in black swiftly struck out with his palm, slamming it into the sword energy...

With a loud bang, spiritual energy surged!

Ye Chen stood still, while the man in black retreated rapidly...

"How is that possible..."

"you..."

The man in black stared at Ye Chen in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock...

He never expected to be cut down by a single sword strike!

That sword strike was incredibly powerful; even he wouldn't dare to take it head-on...
