Chapter 2264 You Have Disappointed Me
Chapter 2264: You Have Disappointed Me Chapter 2264: You Have Disappointed Me Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Mu Yan stood up from the ground and shook her head. The attack had seriously injured her. The powerful experts surrounding Ye Chen did not launch an attack. Instead, they watched with keen interest. It would be ideal if He Rong could eliminate Ye Chen and Mu Yan. If He Rong were unable to resolve the situation, they would take action at that moment. This time, Ye Chen and Mu Yan could not escape, even if they had wings. “He Rong, back then, my father saved your life and allowed you to live,” Mu Yan exclaimed as she stared at He Rong with disappointment in her eyes. She could understand that He Rong did not want to oppose Jun Mochen. However, attacking her was no different from betraying his master for personal gain. Ye Chen sighed. The dangers of this world could not be explained in just a few words. Originally, he thought that He Rong would join them in the fight, and he had a certain degree of confidence in their chances of escape, but now it seemed that the situation was only getting worse. He Rong did not respond. Although he was aware of his own despicable nature, he reasoned that as long as he could survive, what did it matter? Ye Chen controlled his Sealed Gate puppet from the Sealed Gate realm and gave the command. The old man rushed forward. He did not attack, but a terrifying aura radiated from his body. Against He Rong, even if he allowed the other party to attack, he would not last more than a few moves. It was better to self-destruct. The damage from the explosion would be greater. As the Sealed Gate realm expert prepared to self-destruct, He Rong began to retreat. During these ten thousand years, he had not cultivated much. He could only watch helplessly as his own cultivation diminished. He only wished to live! If he were to face the explosion head-on, although he would not die, he would still sustain considerable injuries. The horsetail whisk in his hand unfurled and wrapped around his body. Boom! The explosion rang out deafeningly, creating a deep pit in the ground. The horsetail whisk scattered, and He Rong’s robe was torn slightly. However, his expression remained extremely calm. The self-destruction of that Sealed Gate realm expert had caused some shock to his body, but he had only sustained a minor injury. It was not significant for him. Ye Chen’s ghostly figure surged forward. He raised the Rotten Beast Sword and the Heavenly Divine Demon Spear abruptly, and they came crashing down! He Rong’s expression did not change. He could easily handle a mere Star Aperture realm expert. The white threads of the horsetail whisk seized control of Ye Chen’s Rotten Beast Sword and Heavenly DIvine Demon Spear. Then, He Rong struck out abruptly. In that instant, Ye Chen released the Rotten Beast Sword and clenched his fingers into a fist, producing creaking sounds. Ye Chen threw a punch and spat out a mouthful of blood the moment their attacks collided. He stumbled back two steps. His Immortal Divine Body and Demon Body exploded with power simultaneously. Gold and black energy flowed over the surface of his body. Gengjin energy and surging Demonic Qi erupted at the same time. However, that was not the end. Ye Chen muttered, “Everyone has their own choice.” “However, your choice has chilled the heart of the Demon Emperor!” “Heavenly Demon Finger!” He Rong’s eyes turned ferocious. He had never expected Ye Chen to use the Demon Emperor’s martial technique! He even seemed to glimpse the Demon Emperor of the past! However, upon further thought, since this young man was with the princess, so the Heavenly Demon Finger must have been taught to him by the princess, right? He no longer hesitated. Demonic energy surged within his horsetail whisk, releasing the power of a Great Void realm expert. The entire world seemed to be filled with the threads of ten thousand demons that sought to devour Ye Chen! In an instant, Ye Chen was enveloped by the Myriad Demon Threads technique. “You do not know what is good for you,” He Rong remarked, shaking his head. “The Demon Emperor has long perished. Why do you still resist Jun Mochen?” “Jun Mochen’s power can shake the heavens and the earth. If we oppose him, we will only meet a quicker demise.” As he spoke, he advanced toward Mu Yan. His eyes were cold. He was no longer the He Rong of ancient times. He was merely a worthless individual now. Without his peak cultivation, he could only remain trapped in this chaotic place. His horsetail whisk was poised to strike, and he intended to completely eliminate Mu Yan! At that moment, an extreme surge of energy erupted, and the Myriad Demon Threads suddenly snapped! A figure landed firmly on the ground. “How is that possible?!” He Rong was stunned. Although his strength had diminished, it was not something that someone like Ye Chen could stop! He ceased to think and was about to continue his assault on Ye Chen when he suddenly noticed the light flashing between Ye Chen’s eyebrows. It was the light of the Demon Emperor! Furthermore, the rolling demonic energy obscured all vision. No one could see what transpired within the demonic energy. Others only knew that only He Rong and Ye Chen remained within the rolling demonic energy. “He Rong, you disappoint me!” “On account of our old relationship, you may end it yourself.” A voice resonated suddenly in He Rong’s mind. He Rong’s eyes narrowed, and he knelt on the ground. It was the voice of the Demon Emperor! His body trembled. Though the words were calm, he could sense the Demon Emperor’s anger. He Rong quivered for several seconds. Finally, a hint of relief appeared in his eyes. He pointed at his forehead and declared, “Demon Emperor, I recognize my mistake.” “My wavering heart means that I am not to follow you, Demon Emperor.” “Only death may allow He Rong to be a follower.” In the next instant, an extreme surge of energy erupted, and he chose to self-destruct! Moreover, he had restrained his energy to the utmost, as he did not want to harm Ye Chen at all. The demonic energy gradually dissipated. When the onlookers saw the scene clearly, the forces surrounding Ye Chen displayed strange expressions. He Rong was actually dead? Even if a first-level Great Void realm expert was injured, he could not perish at the hands of a Star Aperture realm expert! How was this possible? “Ye Chen, how are you?” Mu Yan rushed to Ye Chen’s side and examined his injuries. “I’m fine,” Ye Chen replied, shaking his head. However, Mu Yan did not share his view. The spiritual energy and demonic energy within Ye Chen’s body were diminishing. It was impossible for the two of them to fight their way out! Pa! Pa! Suddenly, a man in a black robe stood up. He clapped his hands and smiled, “It is indeed very interesting. However, it should end here.” They were indifferent to He Rong’s death. Had it not been for He Rong, Ye Chen might have been able to eliminate their Sealed Gate realm experts, but now that He Rong had injured Ye Chen, there was no way out. “Think of a way to escape!” Ye Chen urged, glancing at Mu Yan. He took her hand and began to move toward the depths of Demon Bone Mountain. Outside Demon Bone Mountain, there might be even more powerful demons lying in wait for them. Moreover, Ye Chen sensed an extremely strong aura there, which was remarkably similar to Jun Mochen’s. This aura should belong to the expert accompanying this group. Therefore, only by entering Demon Bone Mountain could they hope to survive. As Ye Chen held Mu Yan’s hand, her cheeks flushed slightly. This was the first time she had such contact with a man since childhood. However, now was not the time for such thoughts. Ye Chen and Mu Yan fled, and the powerful experts behind them pursued them relentlessly. Seeing that their pursuers were about to catch up to them, Ye Chen frowned. He retrieved some artifacts and threw them behind. Boom! A terrifying wave of energy spread outward. At the same time, Ye Chen burned a drop of his blood essence to enhance his speed. Although the Thousand Artifacts Explosion was powerful, it was clearly not enough to eliminate so many experts. Furthermore, he could not use the Mist divine power with Mu Yan tagging along.
