"Hahaha!" Ye Liangchen let out a wild laugh, his voice echoing throughout the space as if it would shatter people's eardrums. "Those attacks before were just a taste for you. The real show is yet to come!" With that, he snapped his fingers with a flourish.
In an instant, the terrifying lightning, which had paused slightly, poured down again like a torrent. The streaks of purple lightning resembled ferocious dragons, baring their fangs and claws as they lunged downwards. However, facing such a terrifying onslaught, Hong Tianpeng did not flinch. With a roar, he swung his weapon fiercely, unleashing a sharp sword aura that instantly shattered the lightning bolts into pieces.
"Hmph, you dare to be arrogant in front of me with such little skill? You're simply overestimating yourself!" Ye Liangchen sneered disdainfully, his words filled with contempt for Hong Tianpeng.
After these two probing exchanges, Hong Tianpeng showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, his anger burned even more fiercely. He had long since lost his initial patience and only wanted to end this pointless battle as quickly as possible.
"Everyone, listen to my command!" Hong Tianpeng roared, his eyes wide with rage. "Except for that woman named Li Xue, kill everyone else without mercy!" As soon as he gave the order, dozens of men in black behind him rushed out like ghosts, each wielding a sharp blade and exuding murderous intent.
Seeing the group of ferocious men in black rushing towards him, Ye Liangchen remained calm and composed. With a flick of his wrist, a long sword gleaming with cold light suddenly appeared in his hand. Then, with a powerful swing of his arm, the long sword shot out like an arrow.
A series of screams rang out. The dozen or so men in black at the front didn't even have time to react before they were pierced through the body by the oncoming swords and collapsed to the ground. They lay in pools of blood, howling in agony; the scene was gruesome.
"A bunch of useless trash!" Ye Liangchen's lips curled into a slight, contemptuous smile. Then, with a flash, he leaped into the air as lightly as a bird. At the same time, the giant eye in the sky suddenly emitted an even more dazzling light, and an incredibly powerful suction force surged forth from it. The surrounding supernatural and primal energies seemed to be summoned, frantically converging towards that eye.
In the blink of an eye, Hong Tianpeng and his guards were tightly surrounded by this powerful force, unable to advance or retreat.
Hong Tianpeng was shocked; he hadn't expected Ye Liangchen to have such methods. But he was, after all, a powerful figure. He forced himself to calm down, formed hand seals, and a powerful force surged from his body, forming a shield to protect himself and his guards.
Seeing this, Ye Liangchen sneered, lightly tapping his finger. A beam of light shot out from the giant eye in the sky, heading straight for the shield. Cracks instantly appeared on the shield, and it looked like it was about to shatter. Just then, Hong Tianpeng shouted, and a burst of blood mist erupted from his body, merging into the shield and temporarily stabilizing the situation.
"You're quite tenacious." A hint of disdain flashed in Ye Liangchen's eyes as he increased his energy output.
The terrifying energy descended once more.
"Quickly, form the formation."
Hong Tianpeng put away his contempt at this moment.
My treasure was destroyed by a guy who was only level 20 or so.
The terrifying lightning struck again, and the array of the Hong family guards flickered with green light.
After a full twenty breaths, the heavenly lightning subsided.
Many of the Hong family's guards were bleeding from all seven orifices.
Li Xue and Liu Yue were also very surprised when they saw it.
"Li Xue, what kind of monster have you raised?"
Only now did Liu Yue realize that she really didn't understand Ye Liangchen.
"Oh no! Have you noticed that Liangchen's life force is steadily declining?"
Liu Yue released her divine sense at this moment.
It was discovered that Ye Liangchen's life force was indeed very weak.
However, the weakened aura was quickly masked as the supernatural energy was absorbed.
"what to do?"
Liu Yue was also getting a little anxious.
"I'll go stop him."
Liu Yue was about to go over when Li Xue stopped her.
"Don't go there yet. Liangchen is not the same person I knew before. If you go there, you might get attacked by him."
"Then what do we do? Just watch?"
Liu Yue looked at Li Xue with a puzzled expression.
"You help me recover first, and then I might be able to stop him."
Within the world of heterochromatic eyes, Hong Tianpeng was now having second thoughts.
"Kid, how about we talk?"
Ye Liangchen opened his mouth mechanically.
Tell me your terms?
"I'll leave with my men now, Li Xue will stay behind, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Liangchen shook his head.
"You must die."
Ye Liangchen stared intently at Hong Tianpeng.
Seeing that the negotiations had failed, Hong Tianpeng was furious.
"Bastard, you don't really think you can kill me, do you? You filthy bug, let me show you the true power of the Hong family."
A token appeared in Hong Tianpeng's hand.
Upon seeing this, the Hong family guards quickly came up behind Hong Tianpeng.
They lined up in two rows, with the person in the back putting their hand on the back of the person in front.
The token emitted a green light.
Soon, a middle-aged man appeared.
"Tianpeng? What danger have you encountered?"
"Father, someone is trying to kill me! Save me!"
Hong Yuxuan looked at Ye Liangchen not far away.
"Boy, let my son go, and I can forgive and forget."
"Hahaha, let bygones be bygones? Your Hong family is really domineering. You want to take someone hostage, and you want to take them away, and now you're telling me you'll let bygones be bygones."
Ye Liangchen brandished his longsword.
Hong Yuxuan extended two fingers to block.
The moment the longsword touched the fingers, it slipped through the gaps between them.
Hong Yuxuan hurriedly used his right hand to block.
The longsword emitted terrifying energy waves.
Ye Liangchen retreated several dozen meters.
Hong Yuxuan also retreated one or two meters.
"Not bad, kid, I didn't expect you to have some skill, but that's not enough."
Hong Yuxuan struck out with a palm strike from a distance.
In the sky, the heterochromatic eyes unleashed heavenly lightning once more.
The palm vanished instantly.
Several bolts of lightning struck in succession.
Hong Yuxuan neutralized it with a single palm strike.
Seeing that the heavenly lightning posed no threat to Hong Yuxuan, it changed direction and struck Hong Tianpeng.
Upon seeing this, Hong Yuxuan immediately formed hand seals and forcibly opened a gap in the heterochromatic pupil.
"Hurry up."
A whooshing sound came from not far away.
Ye Liangchen unleashed the Sword Shadow Without a Trace technique.
The longsword came swiftly.
Hong Yuxuan used both hands to block.
But he was ultimately just a phantom, and his speed was still too slow.
As the longsword slashed, Hong Yuxuan's arm was severed.
Hong Tianpeng had just escaped and still wanted to take Li Xue with him.
Upon seeing the situation in the sky, he hurriedly led his men away.
