As the guards Ancestor Situ and Young Master Shangguan died one after another, the sky that was originally filled with shouts of killing and the sound of weapons clashing was replaced by the "rustling" sound of the wind blowing through the treetops.
In the empty field of vision, there was only a trace of dust floating in the air, which was the only trace left after they vaporized.
There were also figures who were frozen in place, and even the air seemed to have been sucked out of most of the air, which was so dull that it made people feel tight in their chests.
This sudden silence made the onlookers somewhat at a loss for what to do.
Some people subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands, but forgot to lift them.
Some people opened their mouths and wanted to say something more, but their throats seemed to be blocked with cotton wool and they couldn't make any sound.
Just now it was a scene of swords and swords, shouting and killing, the roar of Ancestor Situ and the scolding of the guards were still echoing in my ears.
How come in just a blink of an eye, there is only this dead silence?
This strong contrast made everyone feel heavy in their hearts and even breathed a little lighter.
The most clueless one is naturally Young Master Shangguan.
His pupils shrank suddenly. Those guards were all carefully selected by the family. They followed him on daily trips and never made any mistakes.
But now, they are all dead.
Young Master Shangguan's body swayed slightly, and he realized the seriousness of the matter belatedly.
Even so many powerful guards were killed instantly. The strength of Ye Chen may have exceeded his imagination. I am afraid no one here can punish him anymore!
Panic wrapped around his heart like a vine, but Young Master Shangguan still held on, trying to straighten his back and maintain his usual condescending posture.
His chin was raised slightly, but his eyes were a little evasive. He stared at Ye Chen with panic in his eyes, and even his voice had an imperceptible tremor. "Don't touch me casually, I am Shangguan Household's person!"
He paused, as if to cheer himself up, and then raised his voice, "If you touch me, you will suffer the most! No matter which corner you escape to, my family can dig you out!!!"
When he shouted these words, his hands clenched into fists involuntarily, making a crackling sound between his joints.
In terms of strength, he is not even 10% as strong as a bodyguard. At this moment, he can only use the golden sign of the Shangguan Household Clan as a shield.
After all, Shangguan Household Clan has huge power in the Formless Divine Kingdom, and there is also Hundun Saint Emperor in the clan, so no one dares to provoke him on weekdays.
He prayed secretly in his heart that maybe this name could intimidate Ye Chen so that the other party would not dare to act rashly.
After hearing this, Ye Chen raised a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth, and his laughter was full of ridicule. "Shangguan Household Clan? It will cease to exist soon."
The moment he finished speaking, the warmth in his eyes suddenly disappeared.
His eyes, which were originally quite peaceful, suddenly became like the ice in the far north, so cold that it could freeze the air.
The chill spread along his gaze, causing everyone around him to shiver, and even the surrounding wind seemed to have become a bit colder.
Young Master Shangguan was stared at by this look, and the hairs all over his body stood up instantly, and a strong sense of crisis shot up from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He could no longer maintain his composure and quickly raised his hand, his voice full of panic. "Wait a minute! You really can't kill me!!!"
Almost at the same time, he poured all his Immortal Power into the golden ring on his right index finger.
The surface of the ring was engraved with dense lines, which was usually dull and dull. At this moment, it was nourished by Immortal Power, and instantly burst out with dazzling golden light.
The light grew stronger and stronger, wrapping Young Master Shangguan's entire body like a layer of gauze.
If you look carefully, every line on the mask is shimmering with light. The direction of the lines seems to contain the mystery of the great road of heaven and earth. Every stroke is profound and profound, with a sense of awe-inspiring heaviness.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that to be able to refine such a treasure, the refiner must be a super strong person with unfathomable cultivation, otherwise it would be impossible to integrate the trajectory of the great avenue of heaven and earth into the artifact.
When the photomask was completely formed, Young Master Shangguan's hanging heart finally dropped halfway.
He felt the heavy protective power from the light shield, and his originally panicked eyes became arrogant again, and a proud smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He looked down at Ye Chen through the golden light shield, his voice full of provocation. "Humph, you want to kill me? How can it be so easy?!"
He paused and deliberately emphasized his tone, "I admit that you are very powerful, and indeed terrifyingly powerful! But, wait until you have the ability to break through my defense!!!"
After saying that, he laughed arrogantly, and the laughter came out through the light mask, with a bit of confidence and arrogance.
He knew in his heart that this ring was a protective treasure that was personally refined by Hundun Saint Emperor in the family.
Although it has no offensive power, its defensive capabilities are incredible.
Saint Emperor level of protection is enough to save his life in a life or death situation. This is his greatest confidence at the moment, and it is also his capital to dare to be arrogant in front of Ye Chen.
As the mask stabilized, a terrifying coercion emitted from the mask, spreading like a tide to the surrounding world.
The pressure was thick and majestic, with a Saint Emperor level of majesty, making everyone onlookers feel as if a huge stone was pressing on their chests. Breathing became extremely difficult, and even inhaling required all their strength.
It was like suddenly falling into bottomless water, and even the strength to struggle was about to disappear.
In the crowd, the faces of Peak God Emperor Stage masters Ancestor Divine Wind, Ancestor White Feather, and Master of Cloud Crane Tower became even more pale.
Their cultivation is advanced, and their perception of energy fluctuations is several times more acute than ordinary people.
Feeling the pressure at this moment, my body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Ancestor White Feather was the first to react, his voice was full of shock, and he almost blurted out. "This pressure... If I read correctly, it is something that only a complete Saint Emperor Weapon can possess!!!"
He stared at the ring with disbelief in his eyes.
The purple gourd that Ancestor Situ took out before, although it was also a Saint Emperor level treasure, was only a semi-finished product. The pressure at that time had already frightened him.
But now, the pressure exuded by this ring Young Master Shangguan is more than ten times more powerful than the purple gourd?
Comparing the two, he could instantly confirm that this was definitely the real and complete Saint Emperor Weapon!
"Absolutely the real Saint Emperor Weapon! Absolutely!!!"
Ancestor Divine Wind also screamed, his tone full of excitement and shock.
He has lived for so many years and has seen countless treasures, but he has never seen the complete Saint Emperor Armament with his own eyes.
He didn't expect to get what he wanted here today, which made him forget to breathe for a moment.
Master of Cloud Crane Tower also took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and said with some emotion in his voice, "Ancestor Situ's Half-Saint Emperor Armament, although very powerful, is only a semi-finished product after all! What Young Master Shangguan holds is the real Saint Emperor Armament!!!"
The people around them exploded after hearing the words of the three ancestors, and everyone's face was filled with unprecedented shock.
Saint Emperor Armament! That is a legendary existence. With a complete Saint Emperor Armament as protection, who else can kill Young Master Shangguan?
You know, Saint Emperor level of protection, even a strong person like Peak God Emperor Stage, will never be able to break through it.
Although Ye Chen can capture the purple gourd, can he really do anything against the real Saint Emperor Armament?
Everyone held their breath, their eyes locked on Ye Chen and Young Master Shangguan, not even daring to take a breath.
"Yes, this is a Saint Emperor level weapon!!!"
As if in response to everyone's astonishment, Young Master Shangguan laughed and directly acknowledged the grade of this treasure.
Young Master Shangguan's boastful words were like a stone thrown into the crowd.
Yes, with Hundun Saint Emperor level of protection, even if Ye Chen can instantly kill the guards and take away Half-Saint Emperor Armament, how can it be possible to break through this insurmountable defense?
"So, it's hard to say whether he can really succeed in killing Young Master Shangguan today!"
Some people in the crowd were talking in lowered voices, their tone full of uncertainty.
The people next to him nodded quickly, looking back and forth between Ye Chen and Young Master Shangguan, and even their breathing became more rapid than before.
The direction of this contest has completely exceeded everyone's expectations, and no one can guess the final result.
Young Master Shangguan obviously heard these discussions. He raised his chin higher and looked at Ye Chen through the golden mask with an almost charitable look. He also deliberately tapped the inside of the mask with his fingers, making a muffled sound of "dong dong".
"Hahaha, this treasure was made by one of my ancestors for me, specifically to save my life!"
His laughter was even more arrogant than before, and he even stretched out his finger and pointed at Ye Chen through the light mask, "Let me see how you break it!!!"
That gesture seemed like he had already secured victory. In his eyes, Ye Chen was like a clown. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape his control.
The lines on the mask flickered slightly with his laughter, as if echoing his pride.
The Saint Emperor coercion also fluctuated, causing the people around him to shrink their necks and even Divine Capital dared not look at the mask again.
Faced with Young Master Shangguan's provocation, Ye Chen still stood there, with no wave on his face, neither anger nor impatience.
He just slowly raised his right hand, bent his fingers slightly, and then tapped lightly in the direction of Young Master Shangguan.
This movement was too light, as light as a gust of wind blowing by. It did not contain any sharp energy, nor did it erupt in the slightest Immortal Power. It was just like an ordinary person making random gestures.
Seeing this scene, the square was quiet for a moment, and then a suppressed commotion broke out.
"What is he doing?"
Someone couldn't help but ask in a low voice, with confusion in their eyes.
The person next to him frowned and shook his head. "I don't know. You want to break through Saint Emperor Weapon's defense just so casually?"
There was obvious doubt in his tone, and even a bit of ridicule.
Ancestor Divine Wind was also stunned. He subconsciously moved forward and stared at Ye Chen's fingers, as if he wanted to see some mystery from it.
But after looking for a long time, I could only see the finger hanging in the air, nothing unusual.
"Are you a little too self-righteous?"
He murmured in a low voice, full of confusion.
He has seen Ye Chen's strength before. He can instantly kill Ancestor Situ and a group of guards. He is definitely a top powerhouse. But no matter how strong he is, he can't go against common sense, right?
Want to defeat Saint Emperor Armament with just one finger?
Ancestor White Feather also frowned. He remembered Ye Chen's thunderous method when he seized the purple gourd. He thought Ye Chen would use more powerful moves this time, but he didn't expect it to be such a light move.
"It's impossible no matter how you think about it, right?"
He turned to look at Master of Cloud Crane Tower, his tone full of doubts.
Master of Cloud Crane Tower also shook his head, with a bit of solemnity in his eyes. "It's hard to say... but how can Saint Emperor Armament's defense be broken so easily? Maybe he is trying to make something mysterious with his actions?"
Even Young Master Shangguan himself was stunned for a moment after seeing Ye Chen's actions, and then he laughed even more crazily.
"Hahaha, you are at your wits end and want to scare me by pretending to be a ghost?"
He patted the inside of the mask and laughed so hard, "That's it? I thought you had some trump cards! It turns out you're just a loser who can only pretend!"
His tone was full of disdain, and the arrogance in his eyes almost overflowed.
In his opinion, Ye Chen is not strong enough and can only use such ridiculous actions to cover up his incompetence.
The mask still exudes dazzling golden light, and as the lines flow, the Saint Emperor pressure steadily envelopes him.
Everyone looked at Ye Chen's finger hanging in the air, with the same question in their minds: Can this casual move really break Saint Emperor Armament's defense?
No one believes it, even those who were somewhat in awe of Ye Chen now feel that Ye Chen is overestimating his capabilities.
After all, the reputation of Saint Emperor Armament has long been engraved in everyone's heart, which is an almost insurmountable barrier.
How could he be defeated by such a light movement?
Ye Chen didn't seem to hear the surrounding doubts and Young Master Shangguan's ridicule. His eyes were still cold, and his fingers were hanging in the air without moving. But if you look carefully, the air at his fingertips seemed to be slightly distorted, as if some invisible force was quietly gathering...
Just when everyone's doubts were still lingering in the sky, Young Master Shangguan's mocking laughter had not yet fallen.
The power of heaven and earth that no one had expected, powerful enough to subvert cognition, came out of thin air without any warning!
There was no warning, no foreshadowing, just a deafening "Boom!!!"
It resounded through the sky, like the roar of an ancient beast, overwhelming all sounds in an instant.
With this roar, the whole world shook violently.
The blue-gray stone slabs in the city began to tremble crazily, and gravel continued to fall from the gaps. The originally flat ground bulged and cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it was being kneaded by an invisible giant hand.
The mountains in the distance were also shaking, and the rocks on the top of the mountain rolled down, making a loud "rumbling" sound, and the smoke and dust filled the air, covering half of the sky.
The clouds further away were torn apart, and the strong wind roared in, rolling up the broken branches and leaves on the ground, as if it was going to overturn the whole world.
