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

"Wind-Breaking Divine Fist!"

The man in black shouted sternly.

His punches were as swift as the wind and as fast as lightning...

Countless afterimages of fists roared out...

The sword energy clashed with the air in mid-air, producing a series of deafening explosions...

The heavens and earth trembled!

Countless sword energies dissipated completely...

"Clatter!"

"Clatter!"

The surrounding trees were snapped in half by the violent spiritual energy, sweeping across the area...

"hiss..."

Lin Ningxue and Lin Wanli, standing to the side, were both dumbfounded, their hearts pounding with excitement...

"My senior brother... he's amazing!" Lin Ningxue murmured to herself, her eyes shining.

Lin Wanli pursed his lips, feeling a dryness in his throat. He swallowed hard. "No wonder my senior brother said my swordsmanship was clumsy... Compared to his swordsmanship, I'm like a frog in a well seeing the sky..."

At this moment, he finally understood why Ye Chen could instruct him in swordsmanship. With such superb swordsmanship, Ye Chen looked down on him as nothing more than an ant...

After a brief moment of stunned silence, his eyes were filled with fervor...

"If I could receive guidance from my senior brother, my swordsmanship could also become so exquisite and profound..."

"This is truly a stroke of luck..."

Lin Wanli was overjoyed...

He felt that being able to meet Ye Chen was a blessing from heaven...

Upon hearing this, Lin Ningxue's heart skipped a beat, and her bright eyes lit up...

"yes..."

"If I could receive guidance from my senior brother, my swordsmanship would definitely improve by leaps and bounds..."

At that moment, a bold idea began to sprout in her mind...

Not far away...

The man in black looked at Ye Chen ahead, breathing heavily, a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes...

"Kid, I really underestimated you..."

"I never expected your swordsmanship to be so formidable..."

"You do have some skills, but... that's enough..."

"So what if you possess a celestial-grade magic weapon? I am a Golden Core cultivator; you are no match for me..."

"I'm going to have this sword..."

......

He wasn't intimidated by Ye Chen's displayed strength. Relying on his Golden Core stage cultivation, he didn't take Ye Chen seriously at all...

He was used to his usual haughty attitude. In his eyes, outer disciples and Qi Refining stage cultivators were nothing more than ants, completely unworthy of being compared to him...

Even though Ye Chen possessed a celestial-grade magic weapon, he didn't care at all, confident that his strength was enough to suppress his opponent...

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

"The Great Sun Tathagata Palm!"

He shouted...

While in mid-air, the person suddenly clasps their hands together and chants incantations...

In an instant, a golden light burst forth from his palm, and then his entire body was filled with golden light, like a god descending to earth...

As the man in black raised his hand and struck forward, a golden palm print materialized out of thin air...

A terrifying pressure descended from the sky!

"Buzz..."

A storm of spiritual energy raged!

"hiss!"

Upon seeing this, Lin Ningxue and Lin Wanli's expressions changed drastically...

"This...this is a low-rank martial skill!" Lin Ningxue's voice trembled...

Feeling the raging wind, she was filled with fear, and her whole body began to tremble involuntarily...

Even though the man in black wasn't her opponent, just watching him from the sidelines was enough to make one's mind reel...

Even a wisp of overflowing spiritual energy was enough to kill her...

"It's...it's a Rank 1 martial skill...Who exactly is he to have cultivated a Rank 1 martial skill...I wonder if Senior Brother can withstand it..." Lin Wanli said in shock and with a tense expression.

I also found it unbelievable...

Earth-rank martial arts techniques are not something every disciple can access; even for inner sect disciples, it's uncertain...

This is enough to show that the other party must hold a high status within the Qingyun Sect...

At this moment, Lin Wanli couldn't help but worry about Ye Chen's safety. Even with his superb swordsmanship, he would pale in comparison to a low-ranking martial skill...

Even the advantages of celestial-grade magical artifacts will be greatly diminished!

Lin Ningxue and Lin Wanli were extremely anxious and wanted to rush forward to help, but their legs felt as heavy as lead, and they were rooted to the spot, unable to move...

It wasn't that they didn't want to, but under this powerful pressure, their bodies were completely out of their control...

Even if they wanted to make a move now, their spiritual energy seemed to have frozen, and they couldn't mobilize even a fraction of it...

"Thump thump!"

Their hearts raced, their eyes fixed on the man in black and Ye Chen ahead, secretly sweating for Ye Chen...

Ye Chen, seeing the approaching man in black, was not intimidated by the powerful martial arts techniques the man displayed...

At this moment, he was calmer than ever before, his mind as still as water, utterly empty...

His eyes fell upon the approaching golden palm print. A thought struck him, and he abruptly swung his sword, concentrating all his spiritual power into it, almost becoming one with the sword...

He raised his hand and slashed down with his sword!

"Buzz!"

A sharp sword aura burst forth from the sword...

A giant sword formed from condensed sword energy appeared in the void, seemingly nothingness.

As the sword struck, the giant sword of sword energy in the void also crashed down...

The sword energy clashed with the golden palm print...

"boom--"

A loud bang...

In an instant, the earth shook violently, and the entire mountain range trembled intensely...

It felt like the sky was about to collapse and the earth was about to split open...

Almost instantly, the golden palm print was shattered by a single sword strike, vanishing into nothingness...

The sword energy had weakened considerably, but it still slashed towards the man in black in front of him...

"this..."

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

He never expected that his Earth-rank martial skill would be shattered by a single sword strike...

This is a low-level martial skill!

Even Golden Core cultivators of the same realm would have to temporarily avoid his full-force attack...

An outer disciple in the Qi Refining stage actually broke through a martial technique, and even handled it with ease...

Seeing the sword energy slashing towards him, the man in black had no time to think and quickly gathered his spiritual energy to defend himself...

That palm strike had nearly drained his spiritual energy, leaving only a faint barrier of spiritual energy in front of him...

The sword energy arrived in an instant...

"boom--"

"Snap!"

In an instant, the spiritual energy barrier shattered...

"No..."

The man in black panicked...

Feeling the sharp sword energy approaching, I was filled with panic...

The hairs on my body stood on end instantly!

The next second, the sword energy slashed at him...

"Pfft!"

The man in black was sent flying on the spot...

While in mid-air, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood...

He crashed to the ground not far away, his blood surging within him, and he nearly fainted on the spot...

He gritted his teeth and forced himself to endure, suppressing the injuries within his body, his breathing weak and feeble...

When he looked up at Ye Chen, his eyes were filled with shock...
