With a snap, Ye Meng's serrated mouth closed, aiming to bite down on Yun Zishu's arm and swallow it whole.

"Hmm?"

But the very next moment, as his jaws clamped shut, Ye Meng froze in place. The delightful sensation he had expected didn't come. Instead, he heard a light ting as his upper and lower rows of teeth collided.

He had bitten nothing but air.

In an instant, he turned his gaze and found that Yun Zishu, who had been lying on the ground just moments ago, had vanished and reappeared some distance away.

"Brother Gu?!"

At this moment, Yun Zishu felt as if he were dreaming, his eyes widening in disbelief as he stared at Gu Chen in front of him.

Just a moment before, he had braced himself, ready to offer Ye Meng one of his arms, never imagining that at the critical juncture, his vision would blur and he would find himself suddenly out of harm's way.

He was just about to express his gratitude when he was stunned to realize Gu Chen had rescued him.

Suddenly, Yun Zishu thought of Ye Meng's terrifying presence and his murderous intent towards Gu Chen. His face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "Brother Gu, run! That's Ye Meng of the Azure Gold Night Demon Clan; leave me behind!"

"Brother Gu?"

Off in the distance, the slightly grim-faced Ye Meng's interest was piqued again upon hearing Yun Zishu address Gu Chen that way.

"Are you that Gu Bai?" he stood up, his batlike wings flapping behind him as he asked with a sinister smile.

"Gu Bai is here?"

At that moment, Liu Qi and the others in the distance were also shocked. They hadn't expected Gu Chen to actually appear in time.

"Facing Ye Meng head-on, Gu Bai is as good as dead."

"Seeking his own doom."

Liu Qi and a group of onlookers shook their heads, especially a few cultivators from the second prince's camp who watched Gu Chen with cold, smug smiles.

"Brother Gu, forget about me and just go, he won't kill me!" Yun Zishu, seeing Gu Chen remained unmoved, became even more frantic.

Gu Chen did not speak. He looked at the badly wounded and bloodied Yun Zishu, and his heart stirred with a vengeful impulse as he recalled the scene he had witnessed upon arriving.

And this murderous impulse was naturally directed at Ye Meng!

"Oh?"

Ye Meng, as the strongest of his generation in the Azure Gold Night Demon Clan, had incredibly sharp senses. He noticed Gu Chen's murderous intent and his expression turned intriguingly amused.

He considered it all a game and didn't take Gu Chen's murderous feelings seriously at all.

"Brother Gu, quickly run!" Yun Zishu roared, inadvertently aggravating his injuries and causing him to cough out blood uncontrollably.

"Brother Yun, calm yourself; your wounds are serious," said Gu Chen as he retrieved the thousand-year holy medicine, Mo Jade Bamboo, and squeezed out more than a dozen drops of spiritual liquid for Yun Zishu to swallow.

Mo Jade Bamboo, known for its healing prowess, showed its effect immediately as Yun Zishu's complexion visibly improved with each drop.

"A thousand-year holy medicine?" Liu Qi and the others noticed the Mo Jade Bamboo, murmuring, "Princess Xidie is really generous to him; to give away such a medicine just like that."

"Brother Gu, you..." Yun Zishu was startled, realizing what Gu Chen intended.

He opened his mouth, wanting to continue persuading Gu Chen to leave. After all, Ye Meng, out of regard for the Yun family, would not be too harsh on him. But that definitely wouldn't be the case with others, especially Gu Chen.

Therefore, upon seeing Gu Chen, Yun Zishu repeatedly urged him to flee.

But at that moment, as he looked at Gu Chen's serene face, Yun Zishu suddenly recalled the words the latter had said when he stepped out of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty's imperial purview.

"It's alright, I fear no challenge."

Seemingly reassured by Gu Chen's confidence, Yun Zishu's expression began to settle as well.

"What is Gu Bai planning to do, challenge Ye Meng? Has he gone mad?"

Liu Qi and the others, upon seeing Gu Chen not fleeing but instead walking towards where Ye Meng was, were dumbfounded, filled with incredulity.

To them, facing a talented and renowned figure like Ye Meng, who was cruel and bore enmity towards him, shouldn't the first instinct be to flee?

"Fortunately, I arrived just in time. Had it been any later, the consequences would have been unimaginable," Gu Chen thought silently to himself.

If Yun Zishu had lost an arm and been tortured inhumanely because of him, Gu Chen would naturally blame himself.

"Azure Gold Night Demon Clan?"

At that moment, he looked up, eyeing the unsightly Ye Meng with undisguised disgust.

Gu Chen had never had any fondness for the Night Demon Clan!

This wasn't because he despised their appearance but because his sister, Gu Qingyan, had almost been gravely injured by the creatures of Night Spirit Valley back in the Gray Domain of Han State.

Now, with Ye Meng treating Yun Zishu the same way and shamelessly boasting about devouring him, how could Gu Chen possibly view him favorably?

"Did you say you want to eat me?" When the two faced each other, Gu Chen seemed to calm down.

Ye Meng smiled, his hideous face stretching into a grin as he said, "What, are you eager to die, to offer yourself as a delicacy to my mouth?"

Gu Chen's face was expressionless, his eyes unfathomably deep. A murderous intent surged from deep within as he said, "The Night Demon Clan is indeed repulsive enough."

"Huh?!"

With those words, Ye Meng's expression turned grave, and his eyes glinted with extreme malice.

"Has he gone mad, provoking Ye Meng?!"

Elsewhere, Liu Qi and the others also looked confused, wondering what Gu Chen was trying to achieve. Did he not realize how quickly he was heading towards his demise?

"Once Ye Meng makes a move, Gu Chen will likely be torn to pieces instantly. He will pay for his ignorance and arrogance!" someone from the second prince's camp declared disdainfully.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Gu Chen's figure vanished from everyone's sight, causing all present to stare in astonishment. Ye Meng's pupils shrank dramatically.

Thud!

Then, a dull sound followed and everyone turned toward the noise. They saw a figure thrown into the air.

Blue skin, wings on the back, who else could it be but Ye Meng of the Azure Gold Night Demon Clan?

"Ah?!"

For a moment, Liu Qi and the others stood agape, their mouths wide open in stunned silence.

It wasn't just them; even Ye Meng himself was similarly bewildered, completely at a loss. He hadn't seen Gu Chen's move, nor sensed any energy disturbance.

In that instant, all he had felt was an intense pain in his chest, then he was thrown flying backward.

Just as Ye Meng was about to react, a violent gust of wind suddenly roared by his ears—it was Gu Chen attacking again.

"Interesting."

However, Ye Meng didn't show the slightest hint of panic, in fact, he even seemed to be enjoying it!

Because the Azure Gold Night Demon Clan was most famous for their physical bodies, and Ye Meng had already rebuilt his once, which in the realm of body cultivation was equivalent to a first transformation!

He believed that with the strength of his physique, even if he stood still and let Gu Chen do as he pleased, he would still not be able to harm him in the slightest.

He even thought that in the end, Gu Chen would be seriously injured by the powerful rebound force!

This was Ye Meng's confidence; he regarded Gu Chen as nothing more than an interlude, a negligible amusement. In his eyes, the real enemies were only a few, like Mo Chen of the Dragon Sparrow Clan and Lu Xin of the Seven Stars Sect!

Those were beings on his level.

As for Gu Bai before him? Ye Meng sneered, considering him nothing!

Therefore, he didn't care at all about Gu Chen's actions; he even had an attitude of allowing Gu Chen to do whatever he wanted.

"Let me see your limits and also let you understand the gap between us, heh heh!"

Ye Meng sneered sardonically, his intent being to drive Gu Chen to despair and then devour him bit by bit!

Thump!

As expected, Gu Chen punched down once again, and though Ye Meng felt the pain, he was not injured in the slightest.

"Is...is Ye Meng deliberately playing with Gu Bai?" Liu Qi and the others, being sharp-eyed, figured out Ye Meng's intention after a few exchanges.

"The gap is too big," they shook their heads.

Ye Meng was a top genius well-known throughout a hundred domains, while Gu Bai had only recently made it onto the Dao Gold List. What could he use for comparison?

"Brother Gu..." At this moment, Yun Zishu, whose injuries had somewhat healed, also looked worriedly at Gu Chen, who was locked in fierce battle with Ye Meng.

Thump!

Then there was another clash, with Ye Meng still not defending at all, allowing Gu Chen to hit him squarely.

"Hm?!"

But the next moment, his face drastically changed and his pale green eyes bulged out, feeling as if all his organs were shaking.

"Wait..."

Ye Meng gasped in shock, hastily about to speak out, but Gu Chen didn't give him the chance.

He wanted to play? Then Gu Chen would play to the very end with him!

After all, Gu Chen hadn't intended to give Ye Meng an easy time from the start.

Using his own methods against him!

This was Gu Chen's approach to dealing with Ye Meng!

Thump thump thump!

Immediately afterward, Gu Chen suddenly sped up, his attacks raining down like a furious storm, all targeting Ye Meng's body.

And with each punch, the force was slightly greater than the last; Ye Meng was increasingly less able to withstand it.

"Why is Ye Meng still toying with him? Doesn't he want to fight back?" At this point, Liu Qi and the others, observing the fight, were puzzled. Dozens of exchanges had passed, and Ye Meng hadn't made a move.

Did he actually enjoy being a punching bag?

They had not noticed such a peculiar hobby of Ye Meng before.

But Yun Zishu's eyes brightened; familiar with Gu Chen, he sensed something unusual.

"Brother Gu is... seems to be suppressing Night Mo in the fight?" As he reached this realization, his eyes grew larger.

"Gu..."

Ye Meng's face twisted violently with panic; Gu Chen's blows were growing increasingly heavy, and wisps of electric energy surged through them, causing pain and numbness all over his body, as if his bones were about to crack. He wanted to scream, but in the next instant he was overwhelmed by his opponent's ferocious attacks.

It could be said, he brought this upon himself!

He was the architect of his own destruction; that was the principle.

Gu Chen's eyes were cold and sharp. Ye Meng fancies himself a sadist, so now, Gu Chen intended to let him taste the feeling of gradually being driven to desperation!

"I..."

Ye Meng tried to speak again, but this time, he couldn't complete his sentence and even spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!

"Ye Meng is injured?!"

Seeing this, Liu Qi and the others changed their expressions dramatically as they belatedly noticed something was amiss.

"Could it be that Gu Bai has been suppressing Ye Meng this whole time, not that he doesn't want to fight back but that he can't?!" After realizing this, Liu Qi and the others were dumbstruck, their faces filled with disbelief!

Especially Liu Qi, who had just recently been looking down on Gu Chen; to have his face slapped so swiftly, making such a loud smacking sound, left him disoriented.

Thump thump thump!

Another dozen punches fell, and now Gu Chen's strength had increased to a level that Ye Meng couldn't bear, with bones cracking all over his body.

A first transformation of the physical body? Such a level counted for nothing in front of Gu Chen!

Thump!

Finally, at a certain moment, Gu Chen grabbed Ye Meng by the neck, and with a forceful arm, he impaled him straight into the ground.

Boom!

Instantly, the ground within a radius of several hundred yards collapsed, and amidst the dust clouds, there followed an extremely piercing scream.

"Ye Meng... is killed?!" At that moment, this thought crossed their minds, and Liu Qi and the others standing in the distance were petrified with fear, trembling to the point of barely being able to stand!
