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

The man in black was completely bewildered, momentarily wondering if he had cultivated a fake Golden Core...

I'm already at the Golden Core stage, how could I possibly be no match for an outer disciple?

Are you kidding me?!

At this moment, his gaze fell upon the immortal sword in Ye Chen's hand, and he was momentarily lost in thought...

"This...this is...a celestial-grade magical artifact!"

The man in black was completely stunned, his eyes burning with fervor as he stared at the immortal sword in Ye Chen's hand, utterly unable to believe his eyes...

He never expected to see a celestial-grade magic weapon in the outer sect...

It feels like a dream...

"Senior brother fought off a Golden Core stage cultivator..." Lin Wanli said, his eyes wide with astonishment.

He was completely stunned and rubbed his eyes hard...

In their previous exchange, he even thought Ye Chen was going to be sent flying by a single palm strike...

His gaze fell upon the immortal sword in Ye Chen's hand, and he was immediately filled with envy...

"As expected of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series, it's truly a masterpiece..."

"However... Senior Brother's swordsmanship is truly exquisite; even a casual strike is so powerful..."

Ye Chen's sword energy was more than ten times stronger than his...

"Senior brother...so...so amazing!" Lin Ningxue, standing to the side, was equally stunned, her heart filled with astonishment...

Her understanding of Ye Chen was still limited to the Qi Refining stage. Even after defeating a Foundation Establishment stage expert, Lin Ningxue only thought Ye Chen was slightly stronger. She never imagined that he had become so powerful that he could contend with a Golden Core stage expert...

Not far away...

The moment the man in black came to his senses, instead of being afraid, a greedy smile appeared on his face...

"Kid, I didn't expect you to have such a treasure. My trip tonight was definitely worthwhile..."

"No wonder you were so arrogant just now; you were just putting on airs because of this celestial-grade magic weapon..."

"But... do you really think you can defeat me with just a celestial-grade magic weapon?"

"You're seriously underestimating the Golden Core stage!"

......

The man in black stared intently at Ye Chen and said in a cold voice.

Although he was at a disadvantage in the previous exchange, it doesn't mean he can't defeat Ye Chen...

In his eyes, the young man before him was still no different from an ant, except that he had the added advantage of a celestial-grade magical artifact...

If you use your full strength, you can easily control your opponent...

After speaking, the man in black lunged at Ye Chen without hesitation...

He couldn't wait to snatch the immortal sword from Ye Chen's hand...

Who wouldn't want a celestial artifact?

"Who says I can't beat you?"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly.

"So what if you're at the Golden Core stage? You overestimate yourself..."

"Take this!"

He showed no mercy whatsoever, raising his hand and swinging his sword at the oncoming man in black...

He hadn't exerted any force with his previous sword strike, but now, relying on his years of sword practice, he gathered spiritual energy and unleashed a powerful strike...

A colorful light burst forth from the immortal sword, and a sharp sword aura slashed out...

Everything around seemed to have been cleaved apart by the sword energy, shattered into pieces...

"this..."

"Such powerful sword energy..."

The man in black's pupils contracted, and his expression changed slightly...

He could sense the power of this sword energy, far exceeding his expectations, and dared not underestimate it in the slightest...

"Black Dragon Fist!"

The man in black shouted in a deep voice.

He raised his hand and threw a punch...

A terrifying surge of spiritual energy materialized out of thin air, forming a black dragon that roared and lunged at Ye Chen...

A powerful gust of wind swept in...

"Buzz!"

A sword aura flashed by...

"boom--"

The Black Dragon Fist Shadow shattered on the spot...

The spiritual energy from the bombardment surged outwards...

Ye Chen was so shocked by the residual force that he took two steps back to stop.

The man in black retreated again, even more frail than before, nearly collapsing the moment he stopped...

A surge of energy coursed through his body, and his face paled slightly...

He took a few deep breaths to suppress the flow of qi and blood within his body...

The way she looked at Ye Chen when she raised her head had changed...

All traces of his previous disdain have vanished, replaced by utter shock.

"This kid..."

"How could this be... Even with the blessing of a celestial-grade magic artifact, it shouldn't be this strong..."

"Something's wrong... his swordplay... something's wrong!"

......

The man in black muttered to himself, a strange feeling creeping into his heart...

I never expected Ye Chen to be this strong...

Before he could think further, Ye Chen spoke up sarcastically.

"Is that all you're capable of?"

"I thought it would be something special, but it's nothing special..."

"Someone like you shouldn't be out robbing people. It would be so embarrassing if you got robbed instead."

"How about this, hand over your storage bag, and I might let you go..."

......

Man in black: ? ? ?

Upon hearing this, the man in black turned pale with anger, clenching his fists so tightly they cracked. Even through the mask, his fury was palpable...

The way she looked at Ye Chen now was so hateful, she wanted to tear him to pieces...

"Kid... don't get too cocky..."

"Even if you possess a celestial-grade magical artifact and have some skill in sword energy, you will never be my match..."

"You want to steal the storage bag from me? Dream on..."

"Today, your storage bag and this celestial-grade magic weapon in your hand are both mine!"

......

The man in black spoke aggressively, showing no sign of backing down...

At the same time, he could not accept losing to an outer disciple. How embarrassing would it be if word got out?

Even if no one knows it was him, it still feels like a slap in the face...

At this moment, I absolutely must teach Ye Chen a lesson, steal his immortal artifact and storage bag, and teach him a real scare...

The moment the words left his mouth, the man in black charged at Ye Chen again without hesitation...

"Again?"

"You're quite persistent..."

"Then...give me a refund!"

......

Ye Chen glanced at the black-clad man rushing towards him with a surprised expression, narrowed his eyes and shouted coldly.

With a light touch of his toes, he advanced instead of retreating, charging straight ahead...

He raised his hand and slashed down with his sword, the sharp sword energy crashing down...

It was as if the entire space had been shattered!

"Buzz..."

Ye Chen swung his sword repeatedly, unleashing countless sword energies that swept across the area...

They practically sealed off every corner, leaving the man in black no chance to hide...

"hateful..."

The man in black's expression changed slightly; at this point, he could only tough it out...

He raised his hand, desperately gathering spiritual energy, and threw a punch to clash with the whistling sword energy...

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

......

The man in black gritted his teeth, almost fighting for his life...

"Break it!!!"
