He could not help feeling lingering fear. Ye Xiwen's counterattack had come far too quickly; almost in an instant, it had struck back like lightning. If he had not dodged just now, Ye Xiwen would likely have cleaved him on the spot.
At that moment, an enormous scroll above Ye Xiwen's head constantly contracted and expanded. It was the Yin-Yang Life-Death Diagram. The endless Axe Light and energy from those strikes were all absorbed into the Yin-Yang Life-Death Diagram.
He had merely been putting on an act earlier. With his current strength, how could he possibly be easily killed by an expert of the same realm at the Late Stage of Life Mystic Realm? Even if an expert at the Peak Stage of Life Mystic Realm arrived in person, he was confident he could retreat unscathed.
He had only been waiting for a chance to counterattack and take him down in one stroke. Who would have thought that Zhan Ming truly deserved to be called a battle-hardened expert? In an instant, he noticed that something was wrong and reacted immediately, causing Ye Xiwen's scheme to come to nothing.
"Hmph, now I'll let you see my strongest state!" After a cold snort, Ye Xiwen's palms flew through the air, rising and falling as they formed countless seals. The Yin-Yang Life-Death Diagram above his head immediately began to boil. The portion containing the power of death swept out, absorbing endless deathly energy like a sea swallowing a hundred rivers, forcibly drawing it all inside.
Then that deathly energy was blasted out like an energy shockwave, sweeping directly toward Zhan Ming.
Everything had happened too quickly. Even now, Princess Tianqing had only truly reacted. Not only was Ye Xiwen not dead, he had launched an entirely new attack, one that was terrifyingly powerful.
