Chapter 923: True Strength
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Chen was now very familiar with this sword technique, and with a wave of his hand, other than top-notch spiritual swords, all others would submit.

As easy as it was for him to pull this off, to everyone else, it looked simply magical and unbelievable.

The experts stared at their hands and then at the swords on the ground with wide eyes.

What the f*ck was going on?

They gathered their true qi and reached out with their hands, trying to grab their swords. However, their swords would not respond to them, and even resisted them.

“It’s useless.”

Ye Chen’s indifferent voice rang out.

“Also, I don’t like people standing in my way. I really don’t.”

In the distance, Xiang Yingjie’s smile froze when he saw this scene.

His heart was in turmoil.

What kind of technique was this? He could actually control other people’s swords?

This was unheard of!

The way he looked at Ye Chen changed. There was less contempt and his expression became extremely serious.

There was definitely something wrong with this kid.

Situ Feng did not know what had happened because he was occupied with Ye Lingtian. He only noticed in his peripheral vision that those cultivators were not moving or attacking, which made him even more furious.

Ignoring Ye Lingtian’s threat, he roared, “F*cking trash! Why aren’t you attacking?! I’m being held hostage, and you’re just going to watch?”

Hearing this, the Situ family cultivators ignored their fallen swords and rushed toward Ye Lingtian bare-handed.

After all, they were certain that Ye Lingtian would not dare to hurt Situ Feng.

However, before they could get very far, they realized that Ye Chen was already blocking their way.

“Did I say you could go?”

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, they narrowed their eyes and looked at him ruthlessly.

“Although I don’t know how you made our swords act like that, we don’t need our swords to take you down!”

As soon as he finished speaking, one of them threw a punch, which caused a sonic boom as it slammed toward Ye Chen. His hand glowed as it turned into a white shadow that seemed like it was powerful enough to shatter anything in its path.

Seeing this, Ye Chen snorted coldly and threw his own punch. Although it looked ordinary in comparison, it contained the power of his body refining cultivation and the power of the blood dragon.

At the same time, a red wave of energy erupted and swept out.

Seeing this, the attacker realized that something was wrong.

This brat was actually a body refining cultivator!

Body refining cultivation was not considered rare in Seaside City, as many body refining techniques were readily available at Seaside City’s Auction House.

However, he had never seen anyone who could erupt with such power!

At this moment, the white shadow and Ye Chen’s red fist collided with each other!

Unexpectedly, it was the Situ family expert who lost!

His body was sent flying, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Seeing this, SItu Feng was taken aback. However, the shameful display of his subordinates was what he was most angry about. He did not want to appear weak in front of Xiang Yingjie and the Punishment Bureau!

“A bunch of f*cking trash! How could you lose to a sh*tty brat like him? All of you, attack!”

Seeing one person injured, the others realized the seriousness of the situation and all ganged up on Ye Chen.

At this moment, fist shadows filled the air, and the surrounding spiritual energy also began to churn.

However, did it change anything?

No!

Ye Chen rushed into the group like a giant fireball, his body aflame as the Immortal Flames erupted.

The moment he touched any of them, they were set aflame as well, and the Immortal Flames grew stronger and stronger with each passing moment.

In the face of absolute strength, they were all suppressed!

Ye Chen was like a bulldozer, crushing everything in his path!

By the time Ye Chen was done, the surroundings were filled with painful cries. Some were devoured by the eternal flames and died on the spot, while others rushed madly toward the sea, hoping to extinguish the flames using water. However, the flames were called immortal for a reason, and their best efforts only created a cloud of steam in the air from the evaporated water.

After the screams and cries subsided, everything finally calmed down, leaving only one young man standing. When Ye Chen’s gaze shot toward Situ Feng, the latter’s heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran down his spine.

He frantically tried to push away Ye Lingtian’s sword, but it was futile. Were these two not supposed to be weak and powerless?

Why were they so strong? What the f*ck was going on here?

Ye Chen walked toward Situ Feng slowly, and with every step he took, Situ Feng’s panic grew.

A drop of blood seeped out of Situ Feng’s neck. He glared at Ye Chen and said, “You… What are you doing? I’m from the Situ family! If you kill me, don’t even think about leaving Seaside City alive!”

Then, he suddenly thought of something. He looked at Xiang Yingjie like one looked at a savior and hurriedly said, “Xiang Yingjie, what are you standing there for? As a member of the Punishment Bureau, hurry up and take them down.”

Xiang Yingjie frowned, his attention focused on Ye Chen.

He realized that he could not figure out this young man’s origins. Furthermore, those flames were very unusual.

Naturally, he did not associate Ye Chen with Ye Shitian, as Ye Chen had yet to reveal his other powers.

Then, he looked at Situ Feng and sneered, “Didn’t Young Master Situ tell me not to attack? I’m just doing as I’m told. Young Master Situ, isn’t that right?”

His tone was teasing.

This angered Situ Feng so much that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

However, the current situation forced him to compromise, and he could only say, “Xiang Yingjie, I’ll give up on taking down Ye Chen, so please suppress this brat!”

His tone was filled with anger and reluctance.

“Lingtian, kill him,” Ye Chen ordered. He did not like to keep trouble around.

“Yes, Hall Master!”

These few simple words scared Situ Feng half to death. He then said to Xiang Yingjie, “Xiang Yingjie, ‘I’m begging you for help here. As long as you save me, the Situ family will no longer fight with you for that spot.”

Xiang Yingjie’s lips curled up. “Since you’ve made such concessions, then I won’t just watch you die.”

Then, his figure flashed and disappeared.

Every rank on the Heaven’s Declaration rankings was separated from the adjacent rank by a significant margin. This had nothing to do with cultivation level, but true battle prowess.

In the blink of an eye, Xiang Yingjie appeared in front of Ye Lingtian and grabbed his sword.

Ye Lingtian’s expression changed drastically as the power of his origin king realm cultivation and the power of his remaining blood essence erupted!

The ground cracked open and the air crackled with energy.

He thought that he would be able to free his sword, but soon realized that his sword would not budge.

Xiang Yingjie smiled. “There’s no reason for the things I want to destroy to exist! Of course, that includes people!”
