Chapter 139: Murderous Aura Protects the Body!

  Ye Chen wasn't without the thought of escaping, but after some careful consideration, he decided to test his own abilities instead. After all, Ye Chen was confident that if he really wanted to run, as soon as he deployed Dragon Shadow and shook off a few people, then used Swift Thunder Flash, these few people in front of him wouldn't be able to catch up with him even if they used all their might!

  Seven people moved extremely fast, and just as Ye Chen's protective true energy around his body had barely begun to circulate, everyone launched their attack.

  Ye Chen's eyes narrowed as he gazed at the crowd that was now within arm's reach. Ye Chen didn't show a single hint of retreat, and his eyes blazed with intense fighting spirit!

  The best defense is offense!

  Ye Chen's right hand tightly grasped the dragon-slaying sword, with a swift and powerful motion, he swept it horizontally, unleashing an aura akin to a landslide.

  The seven people who rushed up thought that Ye Chen would retreat and protect himself, but they didn't expect Ye Chen to ignore his own defense and counterattack directly.

  Seven people instantly fell into a dilemma. If they didn't dodge or evade and launched a forced attack on Ye Chen, although they could hit Ye Chen, at that time, among the seven of them, there would inevitably be a few who would be swept away by Ye Chen's knife. Looking at Ye Chen's ferocious offensive, everyone had no doubt that whoever was swept away by Ye Chen among the seven people would either lose their ability to fight or might even suffer serious injuries!

  In an instant, the seven people retreated hastily, abandoning their opportunity to attack Ye Chen in order to avoid his attack. After all, every person is selfish, even saints are no exception! They decided not to risk their own lives.

  Ye Chen watched as the seven people simultaneously retreated, a cold smile spreading across his face. He then suddenly pushed off the ground with both feet and charged towards the seven people, his right hand wielding the Dragon Slayer sword slashing towards one of them.

  That person looked at Ye Chen and had already launched an attack, his expression shocked, all the true energy in his body burst out instantly and directly added to his own protective true energy, in an instant that person's protective true energy reached an unprecedented intensity.

  Bang!

  Ye Chen's slash just strengthened his protective true energy, and the dragon-slaying sword in his hand directly chopped onto that person's protective true energy.

  Right away. Ye Chen's Dragon Slayer was stuck on top of it. The man looked at Ye Chen's Dragon Slayer being stuck on his own protective true energy and felt a slight sense of relief, then coldly smiled and shouted to the side: "Hurry up and take action! His weapon is stuck in my protective true energy!"

  Several people looked at each other and rushed towards Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen glanced at the people rushing over, a cold smile playing on his lips, and then ignored them. Instead, he turned his gaze to the young man in front of him and let out a loud roar.

  Ah!

  As Ye Chen's loud roar sounded, the Dragon Slayer in his hand underwent a sudden transformation. The originally rough blade edge instantly became extremely sharp, and then Ye Chen's arm suddenly exerted force. The Dragon Slayer, which was originally stuck on the protective true energy, cut through it like cutting a melon, and slashed towards the young man.

  Jokingly, the mighty Dragon Slayer's weapon from back then, although it doesn't have its former flair, can easily slice through a cultivator's protective true energy in the Gathering Aura realm!

  The young man's expression changed in shock. He hastily tried to retreat, but Ye Chen was now too close. Moreover, he had no mental preparation, and the Dragon Slayer instantly chopped at the young man's head, then with an unstoppable momentum, directly split the young man in half from the middle.

  In an instant, a strong bloody smell filled the entire scene, making people feel like vomiting!

  Of course, this taste did not make Ye Chen want to vomit, but instead, with a red energy that was invisible to the naked eye entering his body, Ye Chen became excited!

  Even at the point of death, the young man still couldn't understand why he had died under the blade after clearly blocking Ye Chen's attack earlier.

  Ye Chen looked at the young man he had just killed with one glance, a bloodthirsty smile appearing on his lips as he thought to himself: The gap is too big! Although I'm only at the third stage of Qi gathering, even if I were to face three or four Qi gatherers at the fourth stage alone now, they probably wouldn't be my match!

  Shocking!

  The entire audience was shocked, they did not expect that the two people who were previously in a stalemate would suddenly change the situation, and the person who had just been confident was actually split open from the middle by Ye Chen like cutting a melon!

  The crowd that had just rushed up also stopped in their tracks, staring blankly at Ye Chen.

  The young man who had been standing by and watching, gazed at the youth on the ground who had already been split in two, and immediately a ferocious expression appeared on his face as he let out a heart-wrenching howl: "Lao Ba!"

  The young man immediately raised his head, glaring at Ye Chen with a murderous aura and said: "Ye Chen, you have guts! The master only said to bring you back, but didn't say we can't hurt you! Today I'll cripple your cultivation first, and after this matter is over, I'll definitely ask the master to let me kill you personally!"

  As soon as the words fell, a strong aura suddenly appeared on the young man's body, and a powerful true energy burst out of his body, forming a protective true energy.

  Ye Chen felt the pressure emanating from the young man's body, and as he watched the true energy being released from his body, his eyebrows furrowed tightly and he said in a deep voice: "Sixth layer of Qi gathering!"

  No, the young man in front of him has already reached the sixth level of gathering energy, which means that he has passed the first hurdle of the gathering energy realm, and also means that his true energy can now attack from a distance!

  The young man let out a loud roar, his right hand instantly filled with true energy, and then fiercely swung towards Ye Chen.

  In an instant, a visible aura shot out from the young man's arm and struck towards Ye Chen with incredible speed, leaving behind a visible trail on the ground wherever it passed!

  Ye Chen looked at the attacking aura and his expression tensed up. He hastily placed the Dragon Slayer horizontally in front of himself, blocking the incoming attack.

  The true energy instantly brought a fierce attack, Ye Chen's Dragon Slayer had just been put away, and it was attacked on top of Ye Chen's Dragon Slayer. With a loud roar, it exploded instantly, and the dust on the ground flew up in an instant, blocking everyone's line of sight....

  "Big brother, you won't kill him, will you?" A young man next to him stared at the dusty place in shock and stuttered to the young man who had just made a move.

  "Hmph! Kill him if you have to, I'd rather go back and be punished! Old Eight just died at his hands a moment ago!" Another young man, with a face full of murderous intent, glared at the middle one and said fiercely.

  The young man who had just made his move was also frowning, looking in the direction where Ye Chen had originally been standing, with a hint of worry in his heart. After all, he hadn't planned on killing Ye Chen. If he had killed Ye Chen, it would have indirectly helped Lan Kuangfeng. If Ou Yangmu found out, even if he had nine lives, it wouldn't be enough to die!

  "No! This is murder! He's not dead!"

  Just as the young man regretted his heavy hand earlier, he felt a strong killing intent suddenly coming from the dust!

  "What a heavy killing intent!" The others also exclaimed in shock.

  At the same time, several people had a feeling as if they were now on a battlefield, filled with murderous intent everywhere!

  In the brief moment of stunned silence, the dust that had been swirling in the air also dispersed instantly, and Ye Chen's figure reappeared in everyone's line of sight. However, at this time, Ye Chen had undergone a subtle change - his originally colorless protective true energy had transformed into a red color, a shade that seemed to be stained with fresh blood!

  Ye Chen's face revealed an excited smile, as a new term appeared in his mind - 'Killing Aura Shield!'

  Divine technique, if it's just able to increase the speed of cultivation, then what qualifications does it have to be called a divine technique!

  This so-called murderous aura shield is actually a technique of the first level of the murderous aura incantation! That's right, it's an enlightenment skill!

  Killing aura shield, as the name suggests, has the same effect as the protective true energy, but its power is not comparable to that of ordinary protective true energy! The killing aura shield is to merge one's own killing aura into the protective true energy, on the basis of the original defense, adding a strong attacking power and a bewildering effect.

  This also explains why the few people who surrounded Ye Chen had a feeling of being on a battlefield!

  Of course, this is also because Ye Chen's killing intent was too weak. If Ye Chen's killing intent was strong enough, the moment they felt the killing intent, their consciousness would be dispersed by Ye Chen's killing intent and become a madman-like existence!

  "Ah!"

  As Ye Chen let out an excited roar, several people once again focused their attention on him.

  Ye Chen's face twisted into a sinister smile, his right hand slowly releasing its tight grip on the Dragon Slayer, before switching to his left hand.

  That's right, Ye Chen plans to use the Dragon Claw! Although he just learned a new technique, if he wants to rely on his killing aura to defeat this cultivator with six layers of gathered energy in front of him, it's clearly impossible! If Ye Chen wants to win, he probably really needs to use the Dragon Claw!

  Of course, this also means that Ye Chen does not intend to let off anyone!

  The young man looked at Ye Chen with a ferocious face and walked towards him. For some reason, he felt a hint of fear in his heart, and then stared at Ye Chen tightly, subconsciously taking a step back.

  If this scene were to spread, the cultivator in front of him who had condensed his aura six times would likely lose face and not dare show himself in front of anyone. After all, he was a mighty cultivator who had condensed his aura six times, yet he was intimidated by a mere cultivator who had only condensed his aura three times, solely due to the latter's aura!

  The rest of the crowd also took a step back with shocked faces!

  Ye Chen looked at the young man with a hint of fear in his eyes, and smiled coldly, then suddenly rushed towards him!

  Ye Chen understood that although this person had a certain fear of him, his cultivation base was far stronger than his own. If he gave the opponent time to react and added to that the fact that this person could attack him with true energy from a distance while he himself could only engage in close combat, then the difficulty of defeating him would be infinitely increased!

  Indeed, the young man looked at Ye Chen as he rushed towards him and actually had a slight hesitation. However, it was this slight hesitation that allowed the original distance of seven or eight zhang between the two to instantly shorten to about one zhang...
