Chapter 2261 Waiting Enemies
Chapter 2261: Waiting Enemies Chapter 2261: Waiting Enemies Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The two individuals were both late-stage Sealed Gate realm experts. Jun Mochen had specifically requested them to investigate, just in case anything was amiss. They had intended to leave a month from now, but Ye Chen had made his appearance. Who could have anticipated this? Upon seeing the woman beside Ye Chen, his expression twisted into one of deep displeasure. The daughter of the Demon Emperor! She had actually returned alive! If Jun Mochen were to discover this, he would undoubtedly be furious. They were unaware of what lurked within the Demon Sea, but it was clear that the experts who had ventured inside had perished. However… Their minds were in complete disarray. Still, now was not the time for overthinking. Since Ye Chen had emerged, they could simply recapture him. If Jun Mochen was pleased, they would gain access to additional cultivation resources, and might even become a core part of Jun Mochen’s army. “Step back, I shall handle these two!” Ye Chen extended his hand to block the path of the Demon Emperor’s daughter. However, in the next instant, his arm became rigid. At that moment, he had unintentionally come into contact with something soft. Ye Chen cast a sideways glance at the Demon Emperor’s daughter, noticing that her eyes were filled with fury. “If you touch me again, I will use a forbidden technique to scorch your soul.” “It was an accident, merely an accident,” Ye Chen coughed. “Allow me to deal with these two first.” With that, Ye Chen stepped forward. The two elders of the Demon Venerable’s Palace smirked as they looked at Ye Chen. They were only fearful of the Heavenly Demon Finger, without which they had no fear of Ye Chen at all. After all, the Heavenly Demon Finger from that day had not been unleashed by this young man at all. The two elders launched their assault on Ye Chen from both sides. Ye Chen’s eyes turned cold. He gripped the Rotten Beast Sword and the Heavenly Demon Divine Spear simultaneously. “Shattering Star!” At that moment, the Heavenly Demon Divine Spear suddenly extended. The veins in his arm bulged, and terrifying spear essence radiated outward. The spear essence twisted in the air, condensing around the tip. Though the spear had yet to reach them, the fluctuations alone shredded the robes of the two elders. The two elders each drew forth a weapon engulfed in demonic energy and charged at Ye Chen. One wielded a saber, while the other brandished a sword, surrounding Ye Chen with their attacks. Saber and sword essence swirled everywhere. Bang! The Heavenly Divine Demon Spear intercepted the attack as Ye Chen raised the Rotten Beast Sword in his grasp. In that moment, the power of the laws within him surged as he swung his sword. In the air, layers of ice formed and encased one of the elder’s legs. In the span of a few seconds, the elder broke free from the ice. Though it was only for a moment, it was sufficient for Ye Chen. The Myriad Demon Lightning Sword descended instantly, forcing the elder to retreat. It was also at this moment that two phantoms of Divine Beasts appeared behind Ye Chen. The White Tiger and the Qilin! Their roars resonated through the sky as they entangled the other elder. “The two of us shall join forces to destroy these phantoms!” “This child is somewhat peculiar. Let us take his head and present it to the Demon Venerable!” “There’s no need to keep him alive!” After the two elders had engaged with Ye Chen using a saber and a sword, they recognized that Ye Chen had extended a finger. Demonic energy surged wildly. Upon seeing this finger, the expressions of the two elders shifted dramatically. The memory of Ye Chen’s figure using this finger technique remained vivid in their minds. The two elders exchanged glances and decided to combine their strength to withstand the Heavenly Demon Finger. They would surely be unable to endure it alone. The sword and saber essence emanating from their bodies erupted continuously, and they even forced out two drops of blood essence. The saber and sword struck in an instant. At this moment, his Heavenly Demon Finger had already been unleashed. His finger clashed violently with the saber and sword… Boom! An explosion erupted in an instant, and the terrifying shockwaves caused Ye Chen to be pushed back slightly. He had underestimated their strength. By burning their blood essence, they had managed to unleash power close to the peak of the Sealed Gate realm. At this moment, his complexion turned slightly pale. He had expended too much energy, yet he did not stop. He refused to waste any time and retrieved several swords. Without hesitation, he hurled them forward. “Thousand Artifacts Explosion!” The spacetime artifacts buzzed in the void, and a terrifying aura rapidly spread outward. Boom! An earth-shattering sound reverberated through the entire sky. Ye Chen gazed ahead. He was uncertain about the condition of the two elders, but he reckoned that they were not faring well. The two elders spat out mouthfuls of blood. Their faces were ashen, and their bodies bore various injuries. They glared at Ye Chen, on the brink of exploding with rage. The two Sealed Gate realm experts had failed to subdue Ye Chen and had even been reduced to this sorry state. How humiliating! However, beneath their anger, fear lingered in their hearts. Ye Chen’s seemingly endless array of abilities instilled a sense of dread within them. “Still alive?” “It appears Jun Mochen sent you here for a reason.” The Rotten Beast Sword was suddenly swung forth, unleashing two extreme sword beams that surged forward wildly. At that moment, the two elders abruptly vanished into the void. Ye Chen sensed a potent killing intent approaching him from behind, so he swiftly pivoted and thrust the Heavenly Demon Divine Spear. With a single strike, he pierced the abdomen of one elder. Demonic energy gushed forth from the Rotten Beast Sword. Bang! A cloud of blood mist exploded, signaling the demise of an elder from the Demon Venerable’s Palace! The remaining sword-wielding elder descended into a frenzied state. He swung his sword wildly. Ye Chen raised the Rotten Beast Sword in his grasp to block the attacks, his figure continually retreating. As he withdrew, he unleashed his soul technique, momentarily freezing the elder. His eyes widened in disbelief! “You are actually a soul cultivator! How is that possible…” Before he could complete his statement, the spear pierced his chest. Puchi! The final elder spat out a mouthful of blood and stumbled backward. Then, he fled without a moment’s hesitation. Now that he was severely injured, it was futile to attempt to defeat Ye Chen. When Ye Chen witnessed this scene, he surged forward. He could not allow this person to escape. Otherwise, Jun Mochen would undoubtedly learn of his survival, and his situation in the Demon Territory would become even more perilous. Streaks of extreme sword beam continuously sliced through the air, while the elder evaded them with great effort. Though his speed had reached its pinnacle, Ye Chen was still in hot pursuit. If the elder wished to flee, it would not be an easy task. The elder then gritted his teeth and formed a seal with his fingers. His entire body began to burn. The surrounding demonic energy from the heavens and earth surged into his being. In a desperate bid for survival, he chose to sacrifice everything without hesitation. Ye Chen frowned. He had been closing in, but the elder’s methods were too strange. He was gradually pulling away. It was unrealistic to continue the pursuit, so he would eventually have to return the way he came. That made him an easy target. If he was captured, then the daughter of the Demon Emperor would be in grave danger.
