Chapter 144: Chapter 131 Hero Saves the Beauty

"I give you two choices," a powerful young expert spoke up, "either hand over all the Identity Tokens on your person, or get beaten until you do!"

The demanding tone left no room for doubt.

Unquestionably, this was an exceptionally formidable young fighter, a leader among his generation, with extraordinary Cultivation and an extremely oppressive aura.

Furthermore, he had brought a force of thirty to forty men, each one exuding a profound and lengthy breath, all of them at least at the Innate Realm, outnumbering their opposition by more than twice, immediately plunging the group into a difficult situation.

Led by Miss Qingxue, the thirteen people’s expressions changed subtly, having not expected to encounter such a dire situation, especially upon recognizing their leader, they couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, "Hann Fei, it’s actually him, he’s also here!"

Ye Chen’s gaze fell on the young man, feeling among the dozens who had arrived that this Hann Fei was the strongest, even giving off the impression he could match the Thirteenth Prince, he asked, "Just who is this Hann Fei?"

His companions couldn’t help but glance at Ye Chen as if struck by his question, astonished that he didn’t even know who Hann Fei was, yet they still explained with a hint of bitterness in their voice, "Hann Fei, he’s one of the Top 100 Trial Participants on Trial Road!"

On Trial Road, thousands of young fighters from the Tiandu Continent gathered, with the strongest being super experts like Crown Prince Xia Yang and others with the right to be called king, standing at the absolute pinnacle of Trial Road, high above, looking down on all the Trialists.

If these potential kings were considered the first tier, then the second tier consisted of the Top 100 Trial Participants, those within the top hundred in terms of strength.

Recognized as the fighters next in line after those with a claim to royalty, each one possessed a Cultivation of at least above the Innate Fifth Realm, far surpassing ordinary Trialists.

This young man Hann Fei was one of these top hundred, a fighter with a formidable strength that was many times superior to that of others.

Ye Chen suddenly realized that this Hann Fei did indeed possess some ability, feeling that he was not much different from the Thirteenth Prince.

However, the other party was a bit overbearing with this kind of coercion.

Clang—

At that moment, Hann Fei suddenly made a move, pulling out a shining treasure blade and slashing ten silvery light blade radiance three yards long towards them, enveloped with ferocious killing intent, clearly showing his willingness to kill.

Clang Clang—

Miss Qingxue acted, and although a woman, her Cultivation was by no means weak; her three-foot green blade swung, creating sword radiance in the void, sword flowers blooming in mid-air, not any weaker than Hann Fei. The divine radiance of their swords and blades collided in the void with a metallic clash, sparking brightly.

In the first exchange, they were evenly matched, and Hann Fei did not attack again.

Miss Qingxue’s beautiful visage grew solemn as she looked straight at the young leader, saying, "Hann Fei, we’ve always kept to our own paths, are you really going to act today? Don’t force me to take action too!"

Despite being a woman, she also had an amazing aura erupting from her, a powerful, invisible Gang Wind stirring up, causing many of those who had surrounded them to change their expressions slightly. This woman was clearly another among the Trial Road’s top hundred, not to be underestimated.

Hann Fei looked down upon her coldly and said, "Hai Qingxue, stop acting so self-righteous. Although our strengths are comparable, and I would normally be apprehensive, today is different. Can’t you see the situation clearly? The fighters under my command outnumber you by more than twice. Do you still plan to struggle desperately under these circumstances?"

"Considering you too are one of the Top 100 Trial Participants, I’ll give you a chance, either leave by yourself and be spared, or stay and prepare to be eliminated."

Upon hearing this, Hai Qingxue and all the others paled. His words were clearly meant to sow discord; without Hai Qingxue, the remaining people would lose more than half of their strength.

But as Hann Fei said, even if Hai Qingxue stayed, it seemed to have little effect, for the opponent had the advantage in numbers. And with Hann Fei, also one of the Top 100 Trial Participants, able to restrain her, the rest were merely struggling in vain, unable to resist.

Hai Qingxue’s face looked troubled, and she clenched her fists tightly and said, "Hann Fei, for someone also among the top hundred, bullying with sheer number is truly despicable, and not the act of a true strong fighter. Do you not dare to fight a fair battle?"

Hann Fei replied coldly, "Hai Qingxue, this isn’t about a fair battle. On Trial Road, only those who pass the trials are truly victorious. Have you not understood that yet?"

"Despicable!" Hai Qingxue bit her lip in anger.

Suddenly, aside from Hai Qingxue and Ye Chen, the other twelve members of the team all drew their weapons, and their aura flared up as they faced the encircling enemies, ready to explode into battle at any moment.

Hai Qingxue was startled and quickly said, "Mr. Yang, Sister Wei, what are you doing?"

The twelve people replied, "Miss Qingxue, please quickly take these Identity Tokens and take Ye Chen to leave at once. We will hold them off here, don’t worry, but please make sure you are safe and sound."

"Indeed, Sister Qingxue, thank you for your consistent care. If it weren’t for your intervention, I would have been eliminated long ago. Now it is time for us to repay you."

It was clear that the twelve people wanted to block these assailants, providing Hai Qingxue and Ye Chen with a chance to escape.

Hai Qingxue immediately shook her head unwillingly, "No, I will not abandon you and leave."

"Miss Qingxue (Sister Qingxue), go quickly!"

The twelve people shouted in unison, their intent resolutely clear, causing Hai Qingxue’s eyes to well with mist, but she did not leave. She struck out with both palms, one aimed at a corner of the encirclement, where her powerful surge of True Essence blasted two individuals away, while her other palm landed on Ye Chen, gentle and weak, as she transmitted her voice, "Young Brother Ye Chen, you must leave quickly, this matter does not concern you."

Ye Chen was startled, but the gentle force from her palm transformed into a strong thrust that sent him flying out, swiftly breaking free from the encirclement.

"What a heroic act of self-sacrifice, not bad. However, don’t worry, today none of you will get away, everyone will be eliminated, charge!" Han Fei waved his hand, and instantly thirty to forty people erupted with astonishing momentum.

Han Fei himself made a move, slapping towards Ye Chen without looking back. True Essence surged forth abundantly, coalescing into a thirty-foot python that shot out, opening its maw and attempting to swallow Ye Chen whole.

"Young Brother Ye Chen!"

Before they could even cry out in alarm, Han Fei swung his other hand wielding a sword, its Sword Radiance sweeping up like a storm, its silver light fierce, covering the entire sky and crashing down, attacking the group including Hai Qingxue and the twelve others over a wide area.

Boom, boom, boom—

Simultaneously, the dozens of people brought by Han Fei launched various powerful Innate Martial Techniques, their brilliance streaking to the heavens, their awe-inspiring might unparalleled, the terrifying fluctuations blowing apart the forest. All the attacks simultaneously descended upon Hai Qingxue and the others.

Such an assault could already be comparable to a Martial God taking action, the mere Gang Wind was an overwhelming force, imposing and intimidating.

The faces of Hai Qingxue and her companions turned pale, enduring such intensified and fierce attacks. Even she would not die from this, but she would certainly be gravely injured, let alone the others.

With clenched teeth, Hai Qingxue’s fists tightened, as if she had made an extremely important decision. Her graceful and beautiful figure suddenly stood upright, and a powerful and overwhelming surge of True Essence erupted within her. She faced the onslaught of numerous Innate Martial Techniques alone, Spirit Talisman in hand ready to detonate, and she cried out, "My brothers and sisters, you must leave quickly. I will withstand this—hurry and go!"

"Miss Qingxue (Sister Qingxue)!"

Everyone understood Hai Qingxue’s intention and cried out in shock at that moment.

Han Fei sneered viciously; this woman was clearly seeking death, and he didn’t mind eliminating her at all.

"Enough, everyone stop."

Suddenly, a sigh was heard. Under the sky full of the light from Innate Martial Techniques, a figure suddenly appeared, standing protectively in front of Hai Qingxue.

Hai Qingxue was taken aback, but upon recognizing the person, she couldn’t help but be surprised—it was Ye Chen, who had apparently come back. But in this situation, without much thought, she hastily pulled him to protect him behind her, and her Spirit Talisman was retrieved lightning-fast, ready to detonate.

Yet, a slender and fair hand grasped her smooth and jade-like hand, and Ye Chen shook his head at her. His youthful and handsome face was unusually serious at this moment, carrying a unique charm that made Hai Qingxue unable to help but slightly sway. He said, "You go down, I’ll handle everything."

His words seemed to carry an irresistible authority, and a Soft Force pushed Hai Qingxue’s delicate body down to the ground. Han Fei’s cold sneer continued; it was clear to him that this young man intended to play the hero to win Hai Qingxue’s heart.

However, such actions now seemed foolish, as the saying goes, a hero saving the beauty must consider the circumstances and strength.

Yet the young man resolutely turned around, facing the onslaught of attacks already rushing towards him, his expression fearless, and conversely, his lips curled into a subtle smile.

The young man merely brushed his sleeves lightly, and to the astonishment of all, the sky full of attacks, including Han Fei’s Sword Radiance, dissipated in an instant, as if they had never existed.

This scene struck a powerful chord in everyone’s minds, leaving them in disbelief!
