Ancestor Divine Wind, Ancestor White Feather and others froze in place, the shock on their faces almost overflowing. You looked at me, I looked at you, their eyes were full of disbelief.
Their beards trembled slightly, their fingers unconsciously rubbed their sleeves, and their breathing was a little faster than usual.
No one can figure out why Ye Chen refused the goodwill of Shangguan Yan's release.
You know, in the Formless Divine Kingdom's circle of influence, Shangguan Household Clan can be called a super behemoth who can turn his hands into clouds and his hands into rain.
Looking at the entire Kingdom of God, the forces that dare to openly oppose Shangguan Household Clan can be counted on both hands.
If you accept the peace talks, you can not only resolve the current conflict, but also avoid becoming an enemy of such a behemoth. This is a good thing with guaranteed profits, so why not do it?
But Ye Chen not only refused, but also said provocative words such as "Can you control it?" This was clearly an initiative to intensify the conflict!
Ancestor Divine Wind opened his mouth and held back a sentence for a long time. "This senior... is too brave? Does he really not care about the Shangguan Household Clan's revenge?"
When he said this, his voice was trembling.
If it were him, let alone taking the initiative to refuse, even if Shangguan Yan showed only half a hint of good intentions, he would probably have nodded his head like a fool.
Ancestor White Feather also recovered from the shock, looked at Ye Chen's back in the field with complex eyes, and murmured, "He even dares to be disrespectful to His Majesty Saint Emperor, so how can he take Shangguan Household Clan in his eyes?"
Everyone followed his gaze and saw Ye Chen standing with his hands behind his hands, his robes fluttering gently in the breeze, and his face still had that calm look.
It seemed as if what he just rejected was not Shangguan Household Clan's overture, but he just pushed away an insignificant cup of tea, without any fear in his eyes, not even a trace of ripples.
On the other hand, Shangguan Yan, who was rejected, narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment, and his originally calm gaze suddenly became as sharp as a knife. Two cold lights shot out from the bottom of his eyes, like two ice daggers tempered with poison, piercing Ye Chen.
The cold breath filled the air, and the surrounding air seemed to have cooled down instantly, making the God Emperor experts present couldn't help but shiver, and subconsciously took half a step back.
"If you don't eat the toast, will you be punished with a drink?"
Shangguan Yan's voice was as cold as ice, completely different from the peaceful one just now.
He thought he had expressed his meaning clearly enough.
There is a high probability that this matter is just a dispute of temper between juniors, and it shouldn't get into a fight that will last forever.
He was even sure that as long as Ye Chen was not stupid, after knowing his identity and strength, even if he did not immediately agree to peace talks, his attitude would soften a bit.
After all, peace talks are beneficial to both parties and are a complete win-win situation.
But he never expected that Ye Chen not only did not relent, but intensified his arrogance.
Shangguan Yan's fingers were slightly clenched, and his knuckles turned white. "In this case, there is nothing to talk about! From today on, you are my Shangguan Household's mortal enemy! No matter where you escape to the Formless Divine Kingdom, you will be hunted down by me, Shangguan Household Clan!"
His voice was loud and clear, as if he was pronouncing a death sentence, and every word carried unquestionable pressure.
When everyone present heard this, their expressions changed.
Being targeted by the entire Shangguan Household Clan would be a disaster for anyone.
Once Shangguan Household Clan releases the news, those forces and monks who want to cling to Shangguan Household will definitely surround him like sharks smelling blood and attack Ye Chen.
By that time, even if Ye Chen has great abilities, he will end up with enemies from all sides and not even get a moment of peace!
But Ye Chen didn't seem to hear the threat in these words. Instead, he raised the corners of his lips and asked with a smile, "Since you want to be my enemy, why don't you just kill me here instead of using your words to threaten me?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent instantly.
Everyone was stunned--Yes!
As long as Ye Chen is killed under the nose of Shangguan Yan, the subsequent talk of "making an enemy" will be out of the question.
Shangguan Yan Since you have the confidence to threaten, why not take action directly?
Shangguan Yan's face stiffened suddenly, and his original cold expression became a little unnatural.
His clenched fingers loosened and clenched again.
The reason why he appears here is not that his body has come, but that when he was refining the life-saving ring for Young Master Shangguan, he deliberately integrated a ray of his soul into it, just in case.
Now that Young Master Shangguan's life-saving means has been broken, his soul can naturally appear.
But the power of a ray of soul is not the true body after all.
To deal with God Emperor Realm Stage monks, the Saint Emperor pressure that comes with this soul is enough to crush him, but facing Ye Chen, a strong man who is also Saint Emperor, this power seems to be a bit stretched.
His threat just now was just to use Shangguan Household Clan's reputation to scare Ye Chen, but now, this disguise was exposed by Ye Chen's words.
Shangguan Yan's face became increasingly ugly, and his ears were slightly red.
There is the embarrassment of being exposed, and even the embarrassment of being undermined in public.
He took a deep breath, and the last trace of hesitation disappeared from his eyes. "Since you insist on seeking death, then don't blame me for being rude!"
Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Yan's figure suddenly became illusory, and wisps of dark soul power burst out from his body and surged into the air like a tide.
The power of these souls condensed rapidly in the air, and in the blink of an eye they turned into a sharp spear about ten feet long.
As soon as the spear took shape, a terrifying pressure spread.
This coercion did not act on the physical body, but directly impacted the soul, making everyone present instantly feel as if their heads had been hit by a heavy hammer, and the pain made their eyes black.
"Ah--!"
Screams sounded one after another.
Ancestor Divine Wind held his head in his hands, staggered back, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
He could clearly feel that his soul was trembling crazily, like a thatched house in a violent storm that might collapse at any time.
Ancestor White Feather was not much better. He bit the tip of his tongue and tried to stay awake with the pain, but the tearing feeling from his soul became stronger and stronger, and the scene in front of him began to distort.
Everyone was huddled on the ground, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.
The shock of Hundun Saint Emperor's soul is simply not something they God Emperor can bear.
Once their souls are shattered, they will completely die and will not even have a chance to be reincarnated!
The divine soul spear in mid-air became increasingly clear at this moment.
The head of the gun was sharp and the blade was so smooth that it could reflect the silhouette of a human being. The body of the gun seemed to be twisted from the bones of a dragon.
There are layers of blue-black "dragon scales", and the tail of the gun also has several lifelike "dragon fins".
Even the "dragon tendons" wrapped around the barrel of the gun are clearly visible. If it weren't for the unique illusory aura of the soul exuding around it, anyone would think that this is a peerless magic weapon made of real materials.
The spear slowly turned its direction and aimed its head at Ye Chen. The hundreds-foot-long gun body trembled slightly, and the coercion exuded locked Ye Chen tightly.
That force is so strong that even if Peak God Emperor were here, he would be frightened out of his wits and would have no way to resist.
But Ye Chen still stood there, his expression as calm as an ancient well.
He raised his eyes to look at the divine soul spear, without any fluctuation in his eyes, as if what he was about to face was not a blow from Saint Emperor that could easily destroy the Killing God Emperor, but just an insignificant tree branch.
At the moment when the divine soul spear shot down with a sound of breaking through the air, Ye Chen finally moved.
The center of his eyebrows flickered slightly, and a ray of pale golden soul power quietly floated out - this ray of power was extremely weak, like a thin thread pulled out of a silkworm cocoon. If you don't look carefully, you will almost be ignored.
But this ray of divine soul power quickly condensed in the air, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a fairy sword the size of a thumb.
The whole body of the fairy sword is pale golden, as if it was cast from molten gold. The sword body is as smooth as jade, without any extra decoration. There are only two simple cloud patterns engraved on the sword grid, and the hilt is wrapped with a thin gold thread, which looks simple and heavy.
Despite its small size, the sharp aura exuded by the fairy sword is not weak at all.
It's as if the steel can be cut in half with just a light touch.
The fairy sword drew a golden arc in the air, leaving a long light tail, which hit the divine soul spear like a meteor.
"Boom--!"
A deafening loud bang exploded. Two terrifying soul powers collided together and turned into circles of pale golden ripples, spreading in all directions.
Wherever it passes, the space is like crumpled paper, constantly compressing and stretching, making a "clicking" cracking sound.
Cracks in the dark void appear out of thin air, opening and closing like countless dormant beasts, ready to devour everything around them at any time.
Everyone was lying on the ground, unable to even scream.
This shock wave of souls was more terrifying than the shock just now. Their souls were like small boats drifting in the stormy waves, and they might be overturned at any time.
And in mid-air, the seemingly mighty divine soul spear, the moment it collided with the pale golden fairy sword, dense cracks appeared on the tip of the spear.
These cracks spread like a spider web, first covering the entire gun head, and then quickly spreading to the gun barrel. The blue-black gun body began to become illusory, as if it would completely collapse in the next second.
On the other hand, the small pale golden sword was still intact, and the sword even had a brighter golden light, as if mocking the vulnerability of the Divine Soul Spear.
The pale golden Divine Soul Sword hangs in mid-air, and the golden light on the sword becomes more and more brilliant, like the scorching sun at noon, which makes people unable to open their eyes.
As for the spear condensed by Shangguan Yan's soul, the cracks are still spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Tiny light spots began to appear on the blue-black gun body, like melting ice and snow, dissipating little by little into the void.
Shangguan Yan's face completely changed. His original cold expression was replaced by shock. He stared at the small fairy sword with disbelief in his eyes. "Impossible! How is this possible?!"
Although his soul is only a wisp, it is Hundun Saint Emperor level of power after all. Even if it is not as good as the main body, it is definitely not something that ordinary Saint Emperor can easily defeat.
But Ye Chen only used a seemingly weak ray of soul to beat his soul spear to the verge of breaking. This level of strength was far beyond his knowledge.
He subconsciously mobilized more soul power to try to repair the cracks in the spear.
But the power of the soul that had just surged past was instantly melted away when it encountered the aura emitted by the pale golden sword, without causing even a ripple.
Shangguan Yan's body began to become unreal, and his face became pale - forcibly activating the power of his soul had already caused a loss of his soul.
"Crush it for me!"
Shangguan Yan roared angrily, gritted his teeth and poured all the remaining soul power into the spear.
The spear that was on the verge of breaking suddenly erupted with a burst of dark light, and the gun body instantly expanded to several hundred feet in length. A black blade of light even condensed on the head of the gun, and with a destructive momentum, it slashed towards Ye Chen again.
Ye Chen still stood there, his eyes not wavering at all.
With a slight tap of his fingertips, the pale golden divine soul sword instantly turned into a stream of light, several times faster than before, appearing at the crack of the spear as if teleporting.
"Crack--!"
A crisp cracking sound sounded.
The spear, which was originally full of cracks, instantly began to shatter from the tip of the spear under the impact of the fairy sword.
The blue-black fragments fell like a meteor shower, turning into wisps of black mist in the air, and soon dissipated without a trace.
The black light blade also lost its power support and twisted a few times in mid-air before being completely annihilated.
"Pfft!"
Shangguan Yan suddenly spit out a mouthful of black blood essence - if his soul is damaged, his body will also be implicated.
He staggered back a few steps, his figure became more illusory, and there was a bit of fear in his originally cold eyes. "You... who are you?!"
He really couldn't figure out when Formless Divine Kingdom appeared such a terrifying Saint Emperor, who could be easily defeated even by the power of his soul.
He didn't give Ye Chen any time to respond. A dazzling light golden halo suddenly appeared all over his body, and he once again mobilized the power of the soul in his body crazily!
The power of the soul was no longer a dissipated air current, but instead roared and circled around him like a roaring roar.
Every surge brought a sharp sound that tore the air, as if a black wind that could overturn the sky and destroy the world was condensing and compressing around him.
But in an instant, the violent power of the soul condensed into substance above his head - it turned out to be a huge talisman suspended in mid-air.
This talisman is more than a thousand feet high, like a black cloud curtain that covers half of the sky, with wisps of twisted black soul lingering around the edge.
The surface of the talisman is not smooth and flat, but is covered with densely packed strange runes that wind like a horned dragon.
Those runes seemed to come alive, constantly moving and flickering on the talisman.
Every time it lights up, a powerful force as thick as a mountain, capable of crushing all things, escapes from it, causing the surrounding space to wrinkle slightly.
"Suppression!"
Shangguan Yan A deafening roar erupted from his throat, and there was a bit of desperate determination in the roar.
His skinny fingers suddenly straightened out and pointed hard at Ye Chen below!
As this angry shout fell, the huge talisman that covered the sky and the sun seemed to have been pressed to activate. With a dull sound like thunder breaking through the air, it crashed down in the direction of Ye Chen!
At this moment, all the wandering runes on the talisman erupted into dazzling black light.
