Chapter 294: Ye Chen Strikes

Chapter 294: Ye Chen Strikes

Ye Zhantian and the others looked up and saw a silhouette descending upon them like a shooting star.

The distance between the Golden Sun Condor and the ground was almost five hundred meters. Falling from such a height, even a Tenth Level combatant would suffer some injuries!

They looked closely and saw that the silhouette descending from the sky belonged to a little boy. Just as the boy reached a height of approximately five meters from the ground, he stopped and hovered silently in the air.

“Uncle, Big Brother Ye Chen sent me to protect all of you,” Little Wingsy told Ye Zhantian.

What Little Wingsy did not know was that his actions had truly stunned everyone below.

Mid-air hover, this was the level of a Heavenly Venerable One!

My god, Little Wingsy only looked five or six years old!

Even when Little Wingsy had visited the Ye Clan valley as a guest, Ye Zhantian, Ye Zhanxiong, and the others did not imagine that he was a Heavenly Venerable One! If only they had known earlier that Little Wingsy was a Heavenly Venerable One, they would not have treated him so flippantly.

Still, they did not know the true extent of Little Wingsy’s abilities. If they knew that Little Wingsy’s abilities were far beyond the level of Heavenly Venerable One, their reactions would be unimaginable.

“Brother Zhantian, is this person from the Ye Clan?” Xu Jian asked in a reverent tone. The others were also regarding Ye Zhantian with an eager expression.

Heavenly Venerable One. According to rumors, only one person in the Xiwu Empire had achieved the rank of Heavenly Venerable One, which was Great Emperor Mingwu!

However, right now, standing before them was another Heavenly Venerable One. Moreover, this Heavenly Venerable One looked merely five or six years old. This was completely… Mind-boggling! Even if someone began cultivating in their mother’s womb, it would be impossible to achieve the rank of Heavenly Venerable One at the age of five or six, right?

Nevertheless, the truth was presented before their eyes. If Little Wingsy was not a Heavenly Venerable One, how could he perform a mid-air hover?

At this moment, no one could describe the shock in their hearts.

“Little… Little Wingsy, why aren’t you helping your Big Brother Ye Chen?” Ye Zhantian wondered if yelling at Little Wingsy constituted disrespect to a Heavenly Venerable One and felt a little tremble in his heart. Regardless, he knew that Little Wingsy was very obedient toward Ye Chen, so Ye Zhantian dared not yell at him.

“Big Brother Ye Chen said that he can deal with the Nanman Kingdom cavalry all by himself!” Little Wingsy replied in an unworried manner.

Outside them were almost two hundred thousand horsemen in full armor. Even if Ye Chen was a Heavenly Venerable One, it was impossible for him to kill so many horsemen single handedly! On second thought, Ye Chen had a Heavenly Adept Golden Sun Condor to protect him, so those Nanman Kingdom cavalries would not be able to harm him. In case of danger, Ye Chen could easily escape on the Golden Sun Condor.

These people did not expect that the Ye Clan was protected by such a skilled combatant. It appeared that they were saved! They rejoiced from the bottom of their hearts and were filled with gratitude toward the Ye Clan. If not for the Ye Clan, they might have become another corpse in the earth.

Seeing that Ye Zhantian kept looking at the direction in which the Golden Sun Condor had flown, Little Wingsy smiled. “Don’t worry, uncle. Big Brother Ye Chen will be fine. When we were in Capital City, Big Brother Ye Chen had single handedly defeated five Heavenly Venerable Ones from the Nanman Kingdom. Now, every gold-armored imperial guard in Capital City refers to Big Brother Ye Chen as ‘God of War’. These people won’t be able to harm Big Brother Ye Chen.”

Little Wingsy’s words struck them like a bolt of lightning. Everyone was stunned.

“Little Wingsy, what did you say? Ye Chen single handedly defeated five Heavenly Venerable Ones from the Nanman Kingdom?” Ye Zhantian stared at Little Wingsy in wide-eyed disbelief.

The martial art practitioners in the vicinity exchanged incredulous looks with one another. This was too unbelievable. Ye Chen was Ye Zhantian’s son, so he must be only twenty over years old at most. How could he single handedly defeat five Heavenly Venerable Ones? Many of them knew that at the Ye Clan celebration, Ye Chan was only at Eighth or Ninth Level!

If this had been an ordinary setting, they would have simply laughed and treated it as a joke. However, these words were uttered by a Heavenly Venerable One, so they were hesitant and wondered if they should believe him.

“Uncle, you don’t believe Little Wingsy?” Little Wingsy peered at him seriously.

“No, it’s not that.” Ye Zhantian quickly shook his head. It was not that he did not believe Little Wingsy, but such a feat was just too mind boggling.

“Big Brother, Little Wingsy is only five or six but he’s already a Heavenly Venerable One. It’s completely conceivable that Little Chen has reached such a level as well,” Ye Zhanying said beside his brother.

“Yeah, our knowledge is too shallow. I didn’t expect that Little Chen’s cultivation has reached such an advanced level.” Ye Zhantian felt inexplicably emotional.

The martial art practitioners around them regarded Ye Zhantian with newfound respect and admiration. With such an accomplished son, surely Ye Zhantian would be a significant person in the Xiwu Empire in the future.

“Ye Patriarch, we’re willing to follow after you. Would you agree to accept us?” Xu Jian and the others bowed to Ye Zhantian and declared soundly to him. Such a declaration was different from surrendering to the Nanman Kingdom. Here, they were merely declaring their allegiance to the Ye Clan, similar to their declaration of allegiance to the Xiwu Empire. After all, the Ye Clan was a family from their homeland, not a foreign nation! In addition, they had complete faith in Ye Zhantian’s character.

“We, too, are willing to follow Ye Patriarch. Please, Ye Patriarch, accept our allegiance!” All the martial art practitioners bowed at their waist.

Ye Zhantian was astonished at the sudden turn of events. He quickly pulled Xu Jian and the others to their feet. “Everyone, get up.”

“Ye Patriarch, please accept us,” Xu Jian and the rest of them declared obstinately.

“Every single one of you are true warriors. How could I be worthy to accept such a magnificent gift? However, if you choose to bestow your trust in me and follow my guidance, from here on forth, the Ye Clan is proud to share our honor and our shame with you!” Ye Zhantian replied in haste.

“Thank you, Ye Patriarch,” the martial art practitioners echoed.

When they stood up and gazed into the distance, the Golden Sun Condor had swooped down and engaged in a violent battle. Countless spears stabbed at the Golden Sun Condor’s body, making a shrill metal tinkling noise, yet none of them had succeeded in inflicting any damage on its body. With a single flap of Golden Sun Condor’s wings, a dozen horsemen were sent flying.

As for Ye Chen, his performance was even more mesmerizing. In Ye Chen’s hand, numerous Celestial Chi Flying Daggers flickered into existence.

With a whiz, a beam of light zoomed across the air. “Swish swish swish”, fresh blood spurted into the air. Wherever the Celestial Chi Flying Dagger flew, the cavalry was slain, one horseman after another. Instantly, an entire row fell dead onto the ground. Hundreds were killed with just one Celestial Chi Flying Dagger. Then, it disappeared into thin air.

One after another, Celestial Chi Flying Daggers flew out. The Nanman Kingdom cavalry horsemen and their horses fell, row by row, screaming in misery.

At this moment, Ye Chen was like an angel of death. As he walked, every obstacle was struck down by his Celestial Chi. In addition to the Flying Daggers in his hands, two other Flying Daggers were hovering in the air beside him. These two Flying Daggers seemed to be sentient. If any of the horsemen dared to encroach within five meters radius of Ye Chen’s vicinity, they would be killed by these two Flying Daggers.

“Whiz whiz whiz.” The Flying Daggers were like a pair of harvesting scythe, reaping the lives of the Nanman Kingdom horsemen.

When Ye Chen first appeared, most of the Nanman Kingdom cavalry looked down upon him. How dare this young man try to go against the Nanman Kingdom cavalry? Even though he was protected by a Heavenly Adept mystical beast, he was sure to die! Nevertheless, they did not expect that Ye Chen was so terrifying. The Flying Daggers were especially terrifying. Wherever the Flying Daggers flew, men and horses fell.

On a cliff in a distance, Wei Guyan looked down and saw the impenetrable Golden Sun Condor as well as the angel of death-like Ye Chen. Wei Guyan was shaken to the core. He had never seen a Flying Dagger that could pierce through a hundred horsemen.

Who was that person?

“Kill him. Even if he’s a Heavenly Venerable One, we have two hundred thousand horsemen. We’ll drag him to his death. Plus, if we manage to kill a Heavenly Venerable One, I’ll certainly be rewarded by the Grandruler!” Wei Guyan commanded. In the distance, the commanding flag waved and the remaining horsemen formed an ironclad fortress around Ye Chen, launching waves after waves of attacks.

Wei Guyan also made other preparations. The cavalry’s archers assumed their positions. If Ye Chen tried to fly away, the archers would shoot him down. Moreover, Wei Guyan also had three Earthly Venerable Rank combatants and twelve Tenth Level combatants under his command. If Ye Chen tried to escape, they could help to stop him.

In the war history of the Nanman Kingdom, killing an opposing Heavenly Venerable One was not unheard of. Back when they first conquered Beijie Kingdom, a Heavenly Venerable One in Beijie Kingdom was killed by the Nanman Kingdom cavalry.

Although Ye Chen had the protection of a Golden Sun Condor, the mystical beast was merely at Heavenly Adept Level. Under the cavalry’s siege, it would not survive.

“Even if you’re a Heavenly Venerable One, so what? Anyone who dares to go against our Nanman Kingdom cavalry will die!”

Wei Guyan did not expect that Ye Chen was not an ordinary Heavenly Venerable One, but a far greater existence than that. If not for Ye Chen’s worry about exposing the abilities of the gold-armored soldier, he would have simply created the gold-armored soldier to wipe out the entire cavalry.

“Even without creating the gold-armored soldier, I’m more than enough to deal with you!” Ye Chen snorted. Crimson Clouds Searing Skies shot out of his hands, sending hot flames into the air. At once, several dozen horsemen were knocked down.

Ye Chen displayed one martial art technique after another. Coupled with the two Flying Daggers beside him, fresh blood was spilled wherever he went. Images of the Nanman Kingdom cavalry horsemen and horses falling to the ground flashed before his eyes. Ye Chen had no mercy for these Nanman Kingdom people. How many innocent lives had they robbed from the Xiwu Empire?

Even their deaths could not redeem their sins!

As Ye Chen strode ahead, dead bodies scattered on the ground behind him. Surrounding Ye Chen were the dead bodies of thousands of the Nanman Kingdom horsemen.

If an ordinary Heavenly Venerable One were to endure such a vicious battle, their Celestial Chi would have dwindled and resulted in diminished abilities. However, Ye Chen was different. Although the Celestial Chi inside his body was indeed being consumed rapidly during the battle, the Flying Dagger in his mind was continuously replenishing his dantian.

The Nanman Kingdom cavalry was getting more frightened. This young man was too terrifying! However, a military command was as unshakable as a mountain, so they could not retreat. Furthermore, if they were to retreat amid a formation attack, they would be trampled to death by panicked horses.

“Kill, kill, kill!”

The cavalry’s voices boomed like thunder.

In a distance, scores of archers were in position.

“Loaded!”

“Loaded!”

“Fire!”

There was a rapid buzzing sound. Like a swarm of locusts, the sky was filled with arrows aiming directly at Ye Chen.

This was the Nanman Kingdom army’s secret killing weapon, the Arrows of God!

The tips of the arrows used by these archers were made from dark argentite gold and coated with corrosive venom. They could fly up to thirty meters in the air before falling to the ground. The tips of these arrows also had a unique structure. When they fall, their speed would accelerate in a circular motion. Hence, they were very deadly. Even if the opponent was covered in heavy armor, the arrows could pierce through any armor. In the past, none of the Heavenly Venerable Ones could fend off a barrage of these arrows and would be injured. Only a small nick was required for the corrosive venom to take effect.

Following the buzzing sound of the flying arrows, all the horsemen around Ye Chen retreated backward.

‘Let’s see you survive this!’ the Nanman Kingdom cavalry thought. Under this deadly siege of arrows, even the Chi Construct Barrier of a Heavenly Venerable One could be penetrated!

Ye Chen’s Astral Body had long since been aware of the situation. Looking up, Ye Chen saw a torrent of black arrows heading directly at him.
