Chapter 674: Chapter 618: It is Discourteous Not to Reciprocate, Second Update

Boom—

The two Heavenly Swords transformed by the Jiu Chu Forbidden Army Commander’s Pupil Light enveloped the world with boundless Divine Light, entwined with mysterious strands of Chaos Ancient Energy, significantly amplifying their might. Even a Saint would tremble in fear facing them.

Undoubtedly, this was an extremely terrifying Pupil Skill, already immensely powerful, further enhanced by strands of Chaos Ancient Energy woven by the Jiu Chu Forbidden Army Commander. Although few in number, they exuded an aura capable of slaying noble saints.

"With one glance, a flower blooms, another falls, life and death within a single look, Slice!"

Almost with a demonic tone, the Jiu Chu Forbidden Army Commander announced, and the Chaos Heavenly Sword cleaved through the air, engulfing Ye Chen in a vast expanse of light.

It was as if Heaven and Earth were being created anew, with surging Chaos Sword Light annihilating everything in this realm.

It seemed Ye Chen’s fate was truly sealed on a path of certain death.

"What exactly happened?"

The massive battle fluctuations in front of the Taichu Sacred Land’s gate had long alarmed those within, with numerous powerful figures emerging. Esteemed elders and even some authoritative Heroic Masters were drawn to the scene.

Even a Vice Saint Master, temporarily in charge of the Sacred Land, appeared and couldn’t help but feel alarmed at this sight.

That was one of Jiu Chu Forbidden Army Commander’s ultimate moves, known as the Pupil Light Heavenly Sword Technique or the Chaos Eye Sword Technique, boosted by Chaos Ancient Energy. Even Saints would find it difficult to counter such might, capable of severing Holy Weapons, truly terrifying.

It was known that in ancient times, the Jiu Chu Forbidden Army Commander, with this very Pupil Skill, slew the Three Great Heroes, spilling blood across thousands of miles, shocking the world.

The young man might be powerful, but facing the Jiu Chu Forbidden Army Commander’s supreme Life-killing Technique, his chances were slim.

However, Ruoxi watching from afar remained composed, not the slightest bit worried, believing absolutely in her brother.

When the gatekeepers saw the Vice Saint Master, they hurriedly went forward to inform him of the earlier events.

This Vice Saint Master, a middle-aged man wearing a purple-gold crown, exuded an imposing aura. After the Taichu Female Saint entered Reincarnation, he took over the vast Taichu Sacred Land, truly ruling with immense authority. However, upon hearing the gatekeepers’ words, he couldn’t help frowning.

Nothing concerned him more than the man and the woman who were challenging the Jiu Chu Forbidden Army Commander, one of them allegedly a friend of Little Princess Yaya, which complicated matters.

Who was Yaya?

Not only was she nominally the daughter of the Taichu Female Saint, she was indeed the precious Little Princess of the entire Taichu Sacred Land. Her true form was the legendary World Tree, and she was adorable, lively, and loved by countless members of the Sacred Land, even doted on by the Taichu Ancestor.

If the Little Princess caused trouble, no one in the Taichu Sacred Land, except for the Taichu Ancestor and the Taichu Female Saint, could subdue her. Even he, the Vice Saint Master, would find dealing with her a headache.

The Taichu Ancestor’s indulgence towards Little Princess Yaya had long reached a ridiculous level—she could tear apart the entire Taichu Sacred Land and he would still watch with a smile, unconcerned.

Moreover, the other Taichu Female Saint had been reincarnated, which was a real concern.

These thoughts all flashed through his mind in an instant, and the Vice Saint Master immediately intervened, unleashing a wave of Saintly Might and shouting, "Jiu Chu Forbidden Army Commander, stop immediately, you must not kill anyone."

Jiu Chu, upon seeing that it was the Vice Saint Master, not only did not stop, but his Pupil Light Heavenly Sword grew even more intense, completely boiling over, countless Sword Radiance falling down, obliterating the void directly and completely turning it into nihility.

Even if one were an Undying Saint within, they would now be at death’s door.

The Vice Saint Master, with a dark expression, exclaimed, "Jiu Chu, I ordered you to stop, yet you insist on making a deadly move. What is the meaning of this?"

"Sorry, I cannot fully retract my action right now."

Although he apologized, Jiu Chu’s tone was indifferent, showing clearly that he did not hold the Vice Saint Master in high regard.

Many within the Taichu Sacred Land knew about some past events involving the Vice Saint Master and Jiu Chu.

When the Taichu Female Saint was conducting a vigorous sweep during her strong ascension to the position, the Vice Saint Master and Jiu Chu were both vying for the position of Vice Saint Master, both being strong and formidable candidates.

In the end, the position was granted to the current Vice Saint Master by the Taichu Female Saint, with Jiu Chu losing out; however, he was appointed the position of Taichu Forbidden Army Commander, yet he had always harbored resentment and hate about that past incident.

The Vice Saint Master coldly said, "Jiu Chu, even though in the past you and I contested for the Vice Saint Master position, and I eventually became the Vice Saint Master, and you just the Commander of the Taichu Forbidden Army, I know you’ve always been jealous. But understand one thing: no matter how much you hate me, those two might be friends of the Little Princess. Now that you have compelled one to death, can you afford the responsibility?"

Jiu Chu’s pupils sharply contracted; he had almost forgotten about this. The Little Princess, who had the adoration of the entire Holy Land bestowed upon her, was indeed a problem if she made a fuss.

Boom—

Just then, from within the area overwhelmed by the Pupil Light Heavenly Sword, an explosion suddenly occurred; endless Sword Qi flew about, carving deep ravines into the earth, tearing it apart.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone present, a young and stalwart figure was seen slowly walking out, it was unmistakably Ye Chen.

His black hair cascading over his shoulders, enshrouded by a layer of Divinity, he exuded a mysterious aura, overflowing with Immortal Radiance that overwhelmed his being, each strand of hair shimmering with dazzling Divine Radiance, sparkling and eye-catching, like an Immortal King walking amongst mortals.

At this moment, his might was overwhelming; the surging Sword Radiance initiated by Jiu Chu’s Chaos Eye Sword Technique could not injure him in the slightest, all were blocked, immune to all Techniques, warding off all evils, and forcefully breaking this invincible Divine Skill meant to slay the Heroic Master.

This scene deeply shocked everyone present.

Whether it was Jiu Chu or the Vice Saint Master, or even those renowned elders within the Holy Land, each one of them showed shock, their deep surprise evident.

How was this possible!

That was the expression on everyone’s face; Jiu Chu’s Chaos Eye Sword Technique was extremely powerful, once having slain the Three Great Heroes and shocked the world. Yet, the young man before them, evidently still a Semi-Saint, whose aura, despite being outrageously strong, should not have been this invulnerable, was unscathed, unbelievable to all.

The only one who laughed at all this was Ruoxi, from not far away. Her smile was bright and light, even though a light veil covered half of her stunning face, her smile was like the spring breeze, causing the very heavens and earth to pale in comparison.

Immediately, Ye Chen spoke, looking towards Jiu Chu, his words filled with killing intent, "What goes around comes around; since you made a move, now it should be my turn."

Boom—

Endless Golden Blood Qi exploded!
