Chapter 994: Chapter 994: You’re Dead

Xiao Xiao was also drenched in sweat, clutching her chest, clearly quite exhausted as well. She glanced around, confirming temporary safety, before exhaling a long breath.

Wiping the sweat off her forehead, her voice still a bit trembling: "Young Master, that was really dangerous just now. If it weren’t for your quick reaction, we might have been captured by those soldiers."

Though Ye Qingchen was also somewhat fearful inside, he maintained calm on the surface and smiled lightly: "Those guys were surprisingly prepared beforehand, it seems they anticipated our coming. But the Jiang Ancient Clan’s territory is too vast; ordinary soldiers alone can’t catch us."

Xiao Xiao nodded, her gaze still carrying traces of lingering fear: "There are too many guards. If we get surrounded again, escape won’t be easy."

Ye Qingchen gently patted her shoulder, comforting: "It’s alright, Xiao Xiao. We’ve managed to escape. Next, as long as we avoid those patrolling soldiers and act cautiously, we won’t be in danger anymore." He

spoke with a hint of determination in his eyes, clearly resolute in completing this adventure.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao pressed her lips, nodded: "Young Master, I’m with you. No matter what happens, I won’t be afraid anymore."

Though the previous peril left her with lingering fear, at this moment, excitement shone in Xiao Xiao’s eyes.

Ye Qingchen observed her firm expression, lips slightly turned in relief: "With you here, I have more confidence. Let’s keep going, be careful, and we’ll find a solution."

Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao were just done discussing and planning to move forward, when suddenly, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, the scenery as if suppressed by an invisible force.

Before they could react, three figures swiftly emerged from all directions, enclosing them tightly.

Three elders in gray robes, their faces stern, their eyes exuding unfathomable pressure.

Their appearance seemed to emerge from the void, carrying a powerful aura, imposing an unyielding force.

The air currents around appeared to be under their control, a whirlwind arose from nowhere, sweeping up dust and leaves, making the scene instantly chilling.

The three elders formed a triangle position, trapping Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao in the center, their eyes sharp, murderous intent fierce, each step heavy like stepping on the heart.

Ye Qingchen was instantly alert, immediately shielding Xiao Xiao, his gaze as sharp as a blade.

He quickly scanned his surroundings, aware that the three elders before him were no ordinary individuals.

Their aura deep, force enduring, clearly masters among the Jiang Ancient Clan, no wonder the previous soldiers were so bold.

Xiao Xiao also sensed the oppressive atmosphere, tightly leaning against Ye Qingchen, gaze fierce: "Young Master, who are they?"

Ye Qingchen said in a low voice: "No need to ask, they must be sent by Jiang Qi."

His tone calm yet harboring intense battle spirit. Faced with such an array, he knew the battle was inevitable.

The lead elder sneered coldly, his voice hoarse and deep, filled with overwhelming authority: "Boy, you have guts to dare intrude into the Jiang Ancient Clan’s territory. Very well, since you seek death, we’ll fulfill your wish." As he spoke, a formidable aura pressed in like a blanket, suffocating.

The other two elders refrained from speaking, their eyes revealing cold murder intent, their momentum united, hinting at a collective strike likely to crush Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao.

Ye Qingchen glanced at the three elders encircling them, a sneer at the corner of his mouth, gaze filled with contempt.

His tone icy and mocking: "Jiang Qi only sent you three old men to deal with me? He is truly naive. Do you really think such a few people can defeat me?"

His words pierced into the elders’ ears like Ice Blades, their faces immediately flushed with anger.

The lead elder’s face changed drastically, his previously sullen eyes instantly filled with fury, fists clenched, knuckles crackling.

The faces of the other two elders turned extremely grim, as if gravely insulted.

"Too arrogant!" The lead elder stepped forward abruptly, his voice thunderous, reverberating around, "You boy are extremely arrogant, daring to belittle us!"

Another elder snorted coldly, murder intent evident: "Just a young junior, dare be so brazen! Today, you’ll pay a heavy price!"

The third elder was equally furious, his aura surged, Spiritual Power rampaging inside, as if to tear Ye Qingchen apart: "Ignorant boy, today you’re dead for sure!"

Their momentum instantly coalesced, violent Spiritual Power waves raged in the air, surrounded trees and rocks subtly trembling under the powerful force.

Clearly enraged by Ye Qingchen’s attitude, the elders were preparing to unleash their strongest means, to thoroughly crush the young man daring to challenge their authority.

However, faced with the lethal oppressive aura, Ye Qingchen remained unfazed, his gaze as cold as stars, undeterred by the elders’ momentum.

On the contrary, his battle spirit surged, as if the stronger the opponent, the more excited he became.

"Xiao Xiao, step back!" he whispered to Xiao Xiao, his tone exuding absolute confidence.

Xiao Xiao wanted to help, but observing Ye Qingchen’s excited eyes, she wisely retreated.

Ye Qingchen’s gaze as sharp as torchlight, his aura gradually gathered, seemingly ready for a fierce battle anytime.

While the three elders opposite were already burning with fury, the fight was imminent.

As Ye Qingchen’s voice fell, the elders’ attack surged like an overwhelming tide, instantly covering Ye Qingchen’s surroundings.

The air filled with the waves of Spiritual Power, deafening roars continuously resounded.

The first elder, burly and sharp-eyed as an eagle, formed hand seals, suddenly condensing a massive flame whirlwind before him.

The flame whirlwind twisted in the air, flames bursting out, sweeping towards Ye Qingchen.

The first elder’s attack was fierce and searing, as if incinerating everything.

Within the flames, mixed its powerful Spiritual Power waves, instantly baking the surrounding air hot.

The second elder, slim but authoritative, gently waved his hand, instantly cutting through the air with a silver light, transforming into sharp Ice Spikes.

The Ice Spikes rained densely towards Ye Qingchen, cold aura spread rapidly, Ice Spikes containing solidified Spiritual Power, carrying chilling cold.
