At this critical moment, Elder Wei knew to use self-destruction to counter the attack, and incidentally used the shockwave generated by the self-destruction to push the divine child far away.
If Elder Wei had self-destructed from the beginning, they would have been helpless. After taking the banned drugs, Elder Wei would have been nothing but a decrepit old man, and self-destruction would have posed no threat whatsoever.
The leader of the secret guards gritted his teeth and poured his inner energy into the scythe once more, quickly sweeping it towards Elder Wei and Ye Que.
If he succeeds, he will have the greatest merit.
Gaining the praise and rewards of the temple master, achieving a position as an elder, or even an inner temple elder, is entirely possible.
Just a few feet away from Ye Que and Elder Wei, who had swelled up like a balloon, the scythe was about to strike.
A clear, crisp sound of a sword ringing out rang out.
The next moment.
A flash of sword light appeared, and the scythe, which was formed by a True Immortal Realm expert gathering all his power, was shattered into pieces by this sudden sword light.
That wasn't the end of it. The remaining power of the sword light hadn't diminished, and it killed all the guards surrounding Ye Que. Their attack methods were completely ineffective against the sword light.
The sword light's devastating attack wiped them out, along with their weapons.
Who is it?
Upon seeing this, the leader of the secret guards looked up to the sky and roared.
What was originally a favorable situation was completely destroyed by that inexplicable sword light. Enraged, he looked around, determined to find the owner of that sword light.
"Ancestor? You've arrived!"
As the leader of the secret guards anxiously looked around, Ye Que looked at Ye Chen, who had appeared beside him at some point, and exclaimed with delight.
Holding the Dragon Roar Sword, Ye Chen first gave Ye Que a friendly smile, then placed his hand on Elder Wei, who was swollen like a ball.
The target was less than a few seconds away from self-destruction and was unable to stop itself from doing so, requiring external assistance.
Under Ye Chen's suppressed aura, Elder Wei's round body gradually softened and finally transformed into his usual form.
Cough cough cough.
Elder Wei had just defused his self-destruction when he coughed up another mouthful of blood. His aura was extremely weak, and his face was as pale as paper.
Upon seeing this, Ye Que rushed over to comfort and support Elder Wei. If it weren't for his stubbornness, Elder Wei probably wouldn't have encountered such danger.
"Sigh, it's all my fault."
Ye Que condemned himself in his heart.
After looking around, the leader of the secret guards noticed Ye Chen standing next to Elder Wei, and immediately saw the Dragon Roar Sword in Ye Chen's hand.
He exclaimed in surprise, "You're Ye Chen, the one who fought against the Lord of the Netherworld Temple before?"
It's no wonder the leader was shouting; the battle was simply too astonishing!
Ye Chen, with his early-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, forcefully defeated the late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal Palace Master, forcing him to retreat repeatedly. In the end, Ye Chen even had to send out four Grand Luo Golden Immortal peak elders.
Even so, Ye Chen was not spared in the end. Instead, a few days later, the Netherworld Temple was completely wiped out by a mysterious person or force.
The once magnificent and solemn hall is now reduced to ruins, telling tales of the past.
The Dragon Roar Sword in Ye Chen's hand is also widely known throughout the Zhongtian Star Region. Seeing this sword is like seeing the man himself.
That's why the leader of the secret guards was so terrified and uneasy.
Ye Chen didn't expect that this little guard would recognize him. If he hadn't intervened in time, Ye Que would probably have died without a burial place.
Because he knew that Ancestor Ye Lingtian would not ignore Ye Que. When that sword light appeared, he was nearby and saw it very clearly.
Inside Ye Que's body, something was about to break free and protect its master.
The reason these guards couldn't sense it was because Ye Chen and Ye Que belonged to the same lineage, and only he could sense the protective barrier set up by Ye Lingtian when it was about to break through their bodies.
Holding the Dragon Roar Sword, Ye Chen looked at the leader of the Dark Guards, who was on the verge of tears, with great interest and said calmly.
"Was this operation personally arranged by your Palace Master, or by your Ancestor?"
The leader of the secret guards swallowed hard and said tremblingly, "Yes, yes, Lord Palace Master."
Ye Chen nodded slowly.
The next moment, he flashed and appeared directly in front of the leader of the secret guards. Caught off guard, the latter instinctively mobilized his power to counterattack.
However, he was not facing Ye Que at the peak of Nirvana, nor Elder Wei at the Celestial Immortal realm, but Ye Chen at the Immortal Lord realm.
Ye Chen waved his hand, and a beam of light shot out, first destroying the leader of the Dark Guards' insignificant attack with overwhelming force.
Then, the light, still powerful, shot into the center of the leader of the dark guards' forehead.
The latter clutched its forehead, cried out in pain, then suddenly closed its eyes, as if losing consciousness, and slammed into the ground. The dark aura emanating from its body dissipated completely as its master fell asleep.
Ye Chen's lips curled into a smile. If Ye Chen wanted to kill this guy, he would have died under that sword light long ago.
He wanted to capture this guy alive and hand him over to the Star Temple so that the temple could confront him.
"Disciple, you're still so fast, even your master can't keep up with you."
A man's voice rang out.
Ye Chen turned around and smiled faintly. In the void stood a figure, none other than Shen Wuyan, who had come with him.
"Disciple Ye Chen sensed a strong fluctuation of energy in this area, which contains the bloodline of my Ye family. Therefore, I quickened my pace. I beg Master for punishment."
Ye Chen bowed respectfully to Shen Wuyan and then apologized.
Shen Wuyan laughed loudly and came over to help Ye Chen up. His gaze was fixed on Ye Que, who was nurturing Elder Wei's aura.
"This little fellow is the Divine Child of the Star God Temple? Your Ye family's prodigy, Ye Que?"
"Exactly."
Upon hearing his master mention Ye Que, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile.
"As a descendant of the Ye family, I can cultivate the power of stars and reach the power of ten stars in just a few months. This is much higher than the talent of those who came before the Star God Temple."
Upon hearing this, the temple master of the human race, Shen Wuyan, suddenly opened his mouth wide.
He knew that Ye Que, as a divine son, could manipulate the power of stars and summon ten stars; this news had spread throughout the entire Zhongtian Star Region.
Even some remote sects and forces have learned about the news of the Divine Son Ye Que and the Divine Daughter Ye Xiaoyu.
But no one ever knew that Ye Que didn't start cultivating the power of stars from the beginning; he only spent a few months doing so.
How could he believe this? At first, he thought it was his long-lost apprentice joking.
When he descended from the void and placed his hand on Ye Que's wrist, personally sensing it, he finally believed that what Ye Chen said was true.
