But as soon as this idea came up, he was instantly rejected.
If escaping was useful, Chi Jue had successfully escaped just now. Even with the speed of Chi Jue, he couldn't escape. How could he escape?
Instead of struggling pointlessly, it is better to... beg for mercy!
This idea appeared in his mind like a life-saving straw. Kuang Xiao almost did not hesitate at all. His legs immediately softened and he knelt down in the direction of Ye Chen.
His voice was trembling like a cry, "Senior! Have mercy on me! This junior is also entrusted by others. I don't really want to be an enemy of senior. I am innocent!"
He yelled and tried his best to explain, fearing that Ye Chen would take action before he could finish speaking.
He deliberately emphasized that he "accepted the commission" and wanted Ye Chen to know that he was just the executor and that there was someone else behind the scenes.
If Ye Chen wants to seek revenge, he should go to his employer instead of his role as "dirty work"!
Hearing his begging for mercy, Ye Chen stopped as expected. He raised his eyebrows slightly, a glint of interest flashed in his eyes, and asked in a calm tone, "Oh? Entrusted by someone? Who invited you here?"
"It's Shangguan Household Clan!"
Kuang Xiao didn't hesitate at all, and leaked the employer's information almost immediately. His voice was a bit sharp due to eagerness. "They gave us generous rewards and wanted to use our hands to get rid of you, senior!"
In the face of life and death, the so-called "killer principle" has long been thrown out of the window.
Not to mention exposing his employer, as long as he can save his life, even if he is asked to turn around and kill Shangguan Household's people now, he will never hesitate in the slightest!
When Ye Chen heard this answer, there was no look of surprise on his face.
He had expected Shangguan Household to take action against him.
After all, previous conflicts have already laid hidden dangers.
He originally planned to give Shangguan Household a chance of survival. As long as they no longer actively provoke him, he would not bother to come to settle matters personally.
But now, they dare to invite a killer to take his life. Naturally, there is no need for this "mercy" to continue to exist!
"What about you?"
Ye Chen's eyes fell on Kuang Xiao, his tone remained calm, "What force do you come from?"
Kuang Xiao's body stiffened for a moment, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Beast God Hall's name has some weight, and he is worried that he will anger the palace master if he reveals his power.
If the palace master knew that he was from the Beast God Hall in order to survive, I wonder if he would be angry?
But facing Ye Chen's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, he finally chose to confess honestly, with a bit of cowardice in his voice. "Junior... Junior is from the Beast God Hall. We Beast God Hall usually undertake such assassination and interception commissions, and this time we also acted according to the rules..."
"Beast God Hall."
Ye Chen nodded slowly, remembering the name in his heart, and said in a tone that showed no emotion or anger, "I understand."
Then, he slowly raised his right hand, and pale golden light shone from the palm of his hand.
The light seemed soft, but it contained a heart-stopping and dangerous aura, as if every ray of light contained a sharp energy that could tear the world apart.
The surrounding space trembled slightly due to this breath, with fine ripples appearing.
The moment he noticed this dangerous aura, Kuang Xiao's face suddenly turned pale as paper, and his eyes that originally had a hint of luck were instantly filled with fear.
He felt a chill running straight from the soles of his feet to the sky, and all the blood in his body seemed to freeze at this moment.
It was like there was an invisible sharp blade pressed tightly against my neck, and every breath brought a stinging sensation of being cut.
I have already put down my dignity and begged for mercy, so why can't I escape death?
"Don't kill me! I'm still valuable! If possible, I would rather stay with my seniors, and never be controlled by the Beast God Hall again!"
Kuang Xiao's voice was obviously trembling, almost roaring, his eyes were eagerly staring at Ye Chen, he kept showing a flattering look, and quickly continued to show his loyalty.
His body leaned forward slightly, and his hands subconsciously stretched forward, as if trying to grab the last life-saving straw.
As long as you can survive, what does betraying Beast God Hall mean?
It's just a change of background.
At most, he will be chased by the palace master!
But if you can follow Ye Chen, it won't matter even if you are chased by the palace master.
After all, Ye Chen's strength is unfathomable, and he is definitely not inferior to the palace master.
At that time, I can sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, waiting to see these two people fight and lose both sides, and maybe profit from it. For me, it is a good thing.
Besides, although I am not as good as the senior in front of me, at least I am still the real Hundun Saint Emperor!
Looking at the entire universe, Hundun Saint Emperor is also standing at the top of the pyramid. Which force doesn't want to add such a strong person?
Facing Hundun Saint Emperor, who surrenders to me so sincerely, the other party should also be moved, right?
Kuang Xiao kept thinking in his heart, his eyes full of expectation and anxiety.
Looking at Kuang Xiao trying his best to show sincerity, Ye Chen always has a faint smile on his face, his eyebrows are curved, and he looks very friendly.
But just such a smile made Kuang Xiao feel more uneasy, like a rabbit running around.
He couldn't guess Ye Chen's thoughts at all. Was there agreement behind this smile, or was there a deeper murderous intention?
It's really elusive.
Ye Chen listened quietly to Kuang Xiao's declaration of surrender without any response, neither nodding nor shaking his head, as if he was just listening to a trivial matter.
His right hand, which exuded a pale golden light, still fell slowly at a steady speed without any pause. The golden light became more dazzling as the arm moved, and the dangerous aura became more intense.
It was also at this moment that Kuang Xiao's heart sank completely. He was sure that this person had no intention of letting him go, but wanted to kill him!
At the critical moment of life and death, Kuang Xiao had no time to think too much. The power in his body exploded instantly, and the air around him tumbled violently due to this force.
The gray-white scales on his body, which were like gray stone flakes, suddenly detached from his body, making a "sssssssss" sound.
Like countless sharp hidden weapons, with piercing cold light, they shoot towards Ye Chen at the fastest speed. Each scale contains the power of Hundun Saint Emperor, which is enough to penetrate the stars.
At the same time, black blood spurted out from Kuang Xiao's body. The blood spurted out from every wound on his body, splashing down like an out-of-control fountain, forming a thick mist of blood in the air.
He actually used the recoil force generated by this surge of blood to explode at an unimaginable speed, and the space around his body was twisted and torn apart by this extreme speed.
"Click --"
The space in front collapsed directly, forming a dark crack. Kuang Xiao's figure instantly disappeared into the crack, leaving only the scales flying in the sky and the blood mist that had not yet dissipated.
In the blink of an eye, Kuang Xiao had appeared in the void an unknown number of galaxies away.
He was suspended there, breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling violently, and the backlash from the burst of speed made his throat feel sweet.
After he could no longer feel Ye Chen's breath, Kuang Xiao felt a little relieved, and his tense body also relaxed a little.
It seemed that his desperate escape method was working.
Just now, when the opponent was not paying attention, he broke out at an unprecedented speed at the cost of damaging his own foundation and consuming a lot of original power, and thus barely escaped.
However, even though it has spanned more than a dozen galaxies, Kuang Xiao still dare not take it lightly.
He knew that the strength of Ye Chen was far beyond his imagination. If the opponent really wanted to chase him, he might not be able to see him at this distance.
He did not dare to let down his guard for a moment until he truly reached the absolutely safe zone.
But just when he took a deep breath, he was about to mobilize the remaining power in his body again, cross the galaxy, and continue to escape deeper into the universe.
A bright golden sword light suddenly cut through the void, like a meteor chasing the moon, spanning the distance of countless galaxies, and instantly killed him behind!
This sword light is extremely terrifying. The sword energy around the sword body is surging and criss-crossing, and wherever it passes, tiny cracks are cut into the void.
That fierce Sword Intent made all the hair on Kuang Xiao's body stand on end, and he was frightened, as if he would be torn into pieces by this Sword Intent in the next second.
"What?!"
I felt a sharp sting in the back of my heart, and an extremely sharp Sword Intent locked me tightly, as if there was a pair of invisible eyes staring at me from behind.
Kuang Xiao was shocked, his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip, and the blood on his face instantly faded away.
He knew without even thinking that this must be the sword issued by Ye Chen!
It's just that he never expected that he had escaped so far, spanning more than a dozen galaxies, and could still be caught up by a Sword Intent sent by the other party?
What level of strength is this?
Could it be that we have reached the invincible state of Peak Saint Emperor?
A catastrophe was imminent, and Kuang Xiao had no time to think about it anymore. He screamed, and the power in his body surged crazily again.
The black blood on his body spurted out violently again, and the blood continued to squirm and gather in the air.
As if alive, a layer of thick, viscous blood spheres condensed around his body, tightly wrapping his whole body in the middle.
This is already the strongest defensive method he can do at present.
He only had one thought in his mind: as long as he could block this sword and not die, his chances of escaping and surviving would be greatly improved!
The blood sphere that enveloped his body was extremely thick and viscous, shiny black, and bubbles were constantly rising on the surface, exuding a pungent smell of blood.
Kuang Xiao knows very well that no matter what kind of attack it is, once it enters the blood sphere, it will be entangled in the blood containing its own original power, and all the power will be released little by little, and eventually it will become invisible.
"Tsk --"
When the golden sword light pierced the blood sphere, the black blood barrier immediately began to twist violently, rolling like boiling asphalt.
Countless black blood threads wrapped around the golden sword light, trying to bind and engulf it, and neutralize most of the sword light's offensive.
Kuang Xiao stared at this scene closely, with his heart in his throat. He could clearly feel that the blood sphere was constantly consuming the power of the sword.
This method seems to really work!
The speed of this golden sword light has indeed slowed down a bit, and its forward momentum has become stagnant.
However, before Kuang Xiao could feel a hint of joy in his heart, the next moment, the sharper and more domineering Sword Intent contained in the golden sword light burst out like a sleeping giant awakening!
"Boom!"
There was a deafening loud noise, the golden light of the sword rose sharply, and the dazzling golden light instantly dispelled the surrounding darkness.
That sharp breath tore through the void, ignoring the viscosity and thickness of the blood, and pierced in like a hot knife cutting through butter!
Kuang Xiao, who was hiding among the blood spheres, didn't even have time to react. He only felt a heartbreaking pain in his chest, as if his entire chest had been torn open.
He lowered his head and looked at his chest. A ferocious wound penetrated his chest. The golden sword energy continued to wreak havoc on the wound, and the surrounding flesh and blood melted rapidly under the erosion of the sword energy.
He couldn't believe that his eyes were just a ray of sword light. After crossing countless galaxies, it not only caught up with him, but also penetrated his body with a single sword under the premise of his full defense?
Kuang Xiao screamed in pain, the sound was extremely shrill, resounding in the void.
The golden sword energy remaining in his body became completely violent, like countless small swords, traveling freely through his meridians and internal organs, constantly harvesting his vitality.
His breath was rapidly weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the end, Kuang Xiao, the once glorious Hundun Saint Emperor, could no longer hold on, and fell softly. The light in his eyes was completely extinguished, and he died under the sword of Ye Chen.
After solving Kuang Xiao, Ye Chen's figure flashed and returned to the flying boat again.
With the invisible shield he released, the earth-shattering battle just now did not have the slightest impact on the flying yacht, which was still sailing smoothly in the universe.
Youruo and Xie Purou had been on the boat just now. Through the transparent porthole of the boat, they witnessed with their own eyes the wonderful battle between the three Hundun Saint Emperor!
The destructive power and the extremely fast speed left them dumbfounded and their hearts pounding.
"Saint Emperor level, it's so terrifying. When will we reach this level?!"
Youruo murmured to himself, with a hint of disappointment in his tone, as if he was a little bit hit by the impact of this war.
She is a well-deserved genius in the world of cultivation. Her cultivation speed is quite terrifying. She is already Hunyuan Divine King at a young age. She is qualified to be a powerful person among ordinary forces.
But in front of the strong Hundun Saint Emperor, she felt as weak as dust in the air, so insignificant that she couldn't even bear the aftermath of the opponent's battle.
