Li Shanchang is back!

At this moment, Lu Yanwu and Kong Jing both felt a chill in their hearts. Wasn’t he supposed to be pursuing Ye Qingchen? Why did he suddenly come back, and appear right in front of them?

"Indeed, it’s me!" Li Shanchang waved his hand, and Lu Yanwu, who was suspended in mid-air, was slammed to the ground by him, shattering the earth beneath.

He looked at the two with a half-smile, but his gaze was cold:

"Planning to go back for reinforcements, huh? Well, obediently come with me now!"

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the two changed again.

The two exchanged a quick glance, communicating with their eyes, having already guessed the general intent of the other. Either to stop them from getting reinforcements or to capture them to deal with Ye Qingchen!

However.

There was no time left for them to think.

Li Shanchang, revealing himself, let out a sinister laugh and conjured a massive hand in the void. A terrifying whirlwind formed from nowhere, swirling from the sky to the ground, blasting towards the two!

"Attack!"

Though previously, Li Shanchang was nearly killed by Ye Qingchen, after all, he was a formidable Half-Step Human Immortal.

Lu Yanwu’s expression stiffened. With a loud shout, she grabbed in front of herself, a spear appearing in her grasp. In an instant, the red skirt danced, True Qi surged, like a blooming flame.

On the other side, Kong Jing’s expression was calm, a heavy blade appeared in her hand. Simultaneously, the blade turned sharply, resembling a Golden Roc spreading its wings, sweeping across.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion resounded.

The whirlwind abruptly exploded, transforming into countless black winds, but at the same time, the terrifying power surged outwards, fiercely crashing into both of them.

Furthermore, the surging force directly caused both to spout a mouthful of blood, their bodies flying backward like arrows loosed from a bow!

"Haha, do you think you can contend with me?"

At this moment.

Amidst the cold laughter, Li Shanchang was already stepping through the sky. His Demonic Qi surged, the Asura Demon Aspect formed around him, transforming into a gigantic figure eight hundred feet tall.

As the two looked on in fright, two massive hands descended from the heavens without warning, grabbing Kong Jing and Lu Yanwu!

Boom!

The terrifying forces pressed down, squeezing them until all the bones in their bodies cracked, even displacing their internal organs, causing them to spout another mouthful of blood!

"Come with me!"

Whoosh!

With a laugh, Li Shanchang grabbed the two, wrapped in overwhelming Demonic Qi, and flew toward where Earth Spirit Mountain was.

Listening to Li Shanchang’s laughter, Lu Yanwu and Kong Jing exchanged a glance, witnessing despair in each other’s eyes. Then, they only felt a deep fatigue overtaking them. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in front of Earth Spirit Mountain.

"What is that?"

As they looked at Earth Spirit Mountain, their pupils contracted.

They saw.

The vast Earth Spirit Mountain was shrouded by a black net filled with talismans, dense and obscuring the sky like it was completely sealed! In the center was Lin Tonghai, along with several Half-Step Human Immortals, guarding the exits of Earth Spirit Mountain.

Clearly, they were sealing off the entire Earth Spirit Mountain, making it impenetrable!

"Hall Master, the people have been brought!"

Li Shanchang waved his big hand, directly throwing Lu Yanwu and Kong Jing from mid-air, then gave a distant salute to Lin Tonghai.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tonghai’s cold gaze swept over the two women. Then, he focused on the Earth Spirit Mountain in front of him, suddenly opening his eyes wide and shouting:

"Ye Qingchen, I know you’re hiding inside Earth Spirit Mountain!"

"You killed my brother! Slaughtered my disciples of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect! Do you think you can escape? Today you have nowhere to run!"

"These two women are your companions, right? If you don’t come out, I will dismember them right before your eyes!"

The entire world went silent. Only Lin Tonghai’s roar echoed, stirring the air into ripples.

Silence!

The vast heavens were in dead silence.

No one responded!

Lin Tonghai stood there, gazing at Earth Spirit Mountain with increasing coldness in his eyes!

...

Earth Spirit Mountain, in a cave!

Ye Qingchen sat cross-legged inside the cave, his hands forming a spell, in the midst of cultivating, seemingly immersed in this state for a long time.

Since acquiring the Demon Bead, Ye Qingchen had been here perfecting the "Heaven-Repairing Fragment."

At this moment.

He had reached the most critical stage!

After sitting for a long time, suddenly Ye Qingchen’s body convulsed, his aura soaring. The Sword Spirit’s shadow behind him grew increasingly majestic.

If it could be said that the earlier shadow of the Sword Spirit was merely a Ranger Swordsman, then at this moment, he is an unstoppable Divine General, wielding incomparable power!

"Only the final elements of gold and wood are left, then I can completely complete the ’Heaven-Repairing Fragment’ and fully master it!"

Ye Qingchen slowly opened his eyes.

"Celestial Venerable Eighth Layer!"

"Half-step mastery of the ’Heaven-Repairing Fragment’!"

"Even in a direct confrontation with Lin Tonghai, I have seventy percent confidence!"

As he secretly pondered this.

Suddenly, a thunderous voice came from outside:

"Ye Qingchen, I know you are hiding within Earth Spirit Mountain!"

...

Rumble!

The shocking voice echoed like thunder, reverberating continuously.

Listening to these words, Ye Qingchen suddenly stood up, fury surging to the extreme in his heart, a flash of icy chill passing through his eyes:

"Ten Thousand Gods Sect, you’re courting death!"

...

Silence!

Echoes resonated in the mountains.

But outside the mountain, there was a dead silence.

After Lin Tonghai shouted those words, he quietly stared at Earth Spirit Mountain, but there was no movement inside the mountain.

Ye Qingchen did not come out!

"I fear Ye Qingchen dares not come out at all!" Chang Yuchun sneered coldly, with a fierce expression.

Previously.

He had swung an axe at Ye Qingchen’s shoulder but failed to kill him. Instead, Ye Qingchen killed an Elder during the breakout, increasing his resentment even further!

"Hmph, I thought this kid was so bold, but I didn’t expect he’s nothing more than a shrinking turtle!"

Chen Ming glared icily.

Everyone else shook their heads in secret.

Even if Ye Qingchen is strong, he is only a Celestial Venerable, facing a Human Immortal and several Half-Step Human Immortals pursuing him. How could he easily show himself after barely breaking through the encirclement?

"Hall Master, since this kid refuses to show himself, there’s no need to be courteous! Let’s return and gather the Celestial Kill Hall disciples, thoroughly search the mountain, leaving him no place to hide or escape!"

Zhu Wu said coldly.

"Fine!" Lin Tonghai’s eyes were sinister, nodding slightly, then his gaze shifted to Lu Yanwu and Kong Jing, "But before that, let’s slay these two!"

"Leave it to me!" Li Shanchang’s eyes glinted, "Earlier at Xuanhu Mountain, I nearly fell into Ye Qingchen’s trap! Now, I’ll start by killing these two women as interest!"

After speaking, Li Shanchang, with a cruel smile, headed towards the two women.

Upon witnessing this.

Lu Yanwu and Kong Jing’s eyes showed a trace of panic. However, their cultivation was completely restrained, unable to move or even speak. They could only helplessly watch as Li Shanchang approached them.

"Haha!"

Li Shanchang raised his hand in a grab, amidst the surge of Demonic Qi, a black blade formed in his palm.

"Blame Ye Qingchen, that shrinking turtle! He doesn’t dare appear even when his women are killed!"

"Everything is over!"

Whoosh!

With those words, Li Shanchang raised his blade and struck fiercely at the two.

Their cultivation had not been restrained previously, neither was a match for Li Shanchang, let alone now when they couldn’t move? With this strike, the two would end up dead on the spot!

"You brought this upon yourselves!"

Lin Tonghai lowered his gaze, showing no compassion.

Zhu Wu, Chang Yuchun, and Chen Ming gazed coldly, as if the ones dying weren’t delicate maidens but ants being casually crushed.

A trace of gratification appeared in Li Shanchang’s eyes; he had traversed the world fearlessly, yet almost fell to a junior’s hands. Now is when Ye Qingchen must pay the price!

Lu Yanwu and Kong Jing closed their eyes in despair.

At this moment, an angry shout suddenly came from Earth Spirit Mountain:

"Stop!"

Simultaneously.

A sharp whistle burst out.

Everyone raised their hands abruptly, seeing a streak of brilliance flashing by like lightning, like a dragon, carrying supreme divine power, roaring towards them!
