Chapter 729: Fleeing in Disarray

Above the Azure Sky Sea.

Demon Plow’s corpse plummeted from the sky. Before it could fall into the sea, Jiang Chen collected it into the Celestial Demon Ancient Castle. It would serve as material for refining Emperor Yuan Pills in the future.

But the blood that filled the sky rained down, turning the sea for a hundred miles around completely crimson.

It was like an ocean of blood!

“He’s… he’s really dead?”

“It’s unbelievable! How is Master so strong? He has to be an Unparalleled Genius Level talent at the very least!”

Zuo Yu and Yao Yueye both wore expressions of utter shock.

They gazed at Jiang Chen as if they were looking at a god!

Jiang Chen trod on air. The sea churned, and towering waves surged like a giant hand, lifting him by his feet and carrying him toward Yebo.

The two locked eyes, their gazes as cold and indifferent as ice.

A vacuum instantly formed in the space between them, where only their tangible gazes collided, striking dazzling sparks.

“To think that Demon Plow, the Ninth Supreme Elder of the Demon Flood Dragon Race who once dominated the Azure Sky Sea, would fall here. And to die at the hands of an unknown brat like you… what a supreme irony!” Yebo said calmly.

Jiang Chen shrugged. “There are many unexpected things in this world. For example, before you came to ambush me, you probably never imagined this place would become your grave, did you?”

His words were forceful, his tone resolute.

Jiang Chen’s face was set with firm determination. He stared intently into Yebo’s eyes, his own gaze filled with a cold, predatory light.

“It seems killing Demon Plow has inflated your confidence. You actually think you can kill me? Let me tell you something. So what if you killed Demon Plow? In my eyes, he was nothing more than an ant!”

As Yebo spoke, a black aura erupted from his body. Bone Spikes shot out from his back, and more jutted from his shoulders, glinting with a cold light. A flash of white light swept over his dark-green face, revealing a Bone Mask that now covered it. Dark-green flames flickered within its empty eye sockets. An icy aura of death radiated from him, as cold as frost. He stared at Jiang Chen. “I, Yebo, have roamed the Azure Sky Sea for many years, and only a handful of experts have ever witnessed me use my life’s Divine Technique. Today, you will be one of them!”

“Jiang Chen, enjoy the feast of slaughter I have prepared for you!”

SWISH!

Yebo was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Jiang Chen.

His entire body was covered in Bone Armor.

He thrust out an arm, and a streak of white light, as brilliant as the moon, seemed to hang in the sky. Wherever the light passed, space trembled and tore open a rift.

The spatial rift, fully ten thousand zhang long, pulsed with a destructive storm.

Jiang Chen’s sharp brows knitted together, his expression turning grave.

The feeling Yebo gave him now could be summed up in one word: threat!

A threat to his very life.

He pushed his Profound Yellow Undying Technique to its absolute limit. Surging waves of True Essence pulsed, flooding his body. This immense power caused Jiang Chen to radiate a devastating, destructive force.

He swept the Ancient Azure Dragon Sword upward in a sharp arc, unleashing a sheet of Sword Aura with a SWISH.

BOOM!

The two incomparably powerful attacks collided, erupting in a violent wave of energy.

Jiang Chen seized the opportunity to advance, closing the distance with Yebo. With a flick of his wrist, the trajectory of his Ancient Azure Dragon Sword changed. It curved from its straight path as he instantly activated a Sword Technique. “Nine Palace Sword!”

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Nine Sword Palaces materialized around the Sword Aura, cutting toward Yebo with tremendous, overwhelming force.

The sword strike was sudden and completely unexpected.

Against an ordinary opponent, it would have been a decisive surprise attack.

However…

His opponent today was Yebo, a battle-hardened Overlord of the Azure Sky Sea.

The corners of Yebo’s lips curled up in a deeply mocking sneer. “Good speed and combat awareness. A pity it lacks power!”

BOOM!

The nine Sword Palaces struck Yebo one after another, and a terrifying Energy Storm instantly enveloped him.

However…

Jiang Chen’s expression showed no relief; on the contrary, it was grave. Within the raging Energy Storm, a cold glint of light suddenly flashed.

A white figure shot out in an instant.

His speed was incredible.

In a flash, he was in front of Jiang Chen. It was Yebo, his hands covered in a layer of hard white bone. He crossed his arms before his chest, then violently tore them outward to the sides.

BOOM!

Two streaks of white light shot left and right, forming a cross that blasted toward Jiang Chen.

The terrifying Destruction Power made Jiang Chen’s heart lurch in alarm.

“Eight Trigrams Sword!”

The five pairs of light wings on his back flapped continuously, carrying him backward as he activated his Ancient Azure Dragon Sword. Instantly, nine Eight Trigrams Sword Diagrams shot forth.

RUMBLE!

The Sword Diagrams were shattered one by one.

Gaining a momentary opening, Jiang Chen tore open the space beside him and dove in.

Almost simultaneously…

The nine Sword Diagrams exploded. The spot where Jiang Chen had just been was ripped apart by the sharp, cross-shaped claws. A spatial vortex appeared, and a terrifying storm of Annihilation Gang Wind erupted.

“Hm?”

Yebo paused, looking around, but he couldn’t find any sign of Jiang Chen.

Suddenly…

Yebo snapped his head up, looking above him.

What met his gaze was a brilliant sword light that blotted out the sky, converging on him from all directions like a destructive storm. It was followed by Jiang Chen’s calm voice ringing in his ears. “Now, how about you test the power of this sword strike?”

This sword strike was the final form of the Ten Directions Sword Manual—the Ten Directions Sword!

A sword from ten directions!

Within the ten directions of heaven and earth, there was no escape from this attack.

The terrifying might of the sword caused Yebo’s body to tremble violently. His legs shook, and he felt an overwhelming weakness, as if he were about to collapse to his knees. His expression changed drastically. Gritting his teeth, he roared, “Holy Bone Body Protection!”

BOOM!

Yebo threw his hands out to his sides, and an Energy Storm swept around him.

Countless white bones formed into armor, shielding him from above.

At the very instant the Bone Armor took shape, the sword strike landed.

With a deafening CRACK, the Bone Spikes on Yebo’s arms shattered. A sweet taste filled his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of crimson blood, a look of horror in his eyes.

Under the peerless Sword Aura, the Bone Armor shattered piece by piece, turning into a cloud of white powder that filled the sky.

BOOM!

The sword hung in the air, then fell like the Nine Heavens Milky Way, slashing viciously down onto Yebo.

“AGH—!”

Yebo screamed. One of his arms was severed, and the White Bone Armor on his body exploded. His eyes filled with despair and terror. “This is impossible! How could he have become so strong in just a few days?”

He simply couldn’t believe it!

Not long ago, even when Jiang Chen gave his all, he was only a match for Yebo at seventy percent of his strength.

Now…

Jiang Chen had already surpassed him.

“Yebo, take another one of my sword strikes…” Jiang Chen said coldly, standing with his sword at the ready.

“…”

Yebo’s expression shifted rapidly. With a cold snort, he spat out a cloud of blood mist.

The blood mist instantly spread out, obscuring the area for a hundred miles. By the time Jiang Chen burst through it, Yebo had already fled like a beaten dog, disappearing without a trace…
