Chapter 405: Come If You Dare

Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Come If You Dare

"Boom!"

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Ji Chen infiltrated enemy territory, broke through the defensive cities of the Yu Realm one after another. By now, twelve cities had already suffered attacks from him.

Among them, eight cities were almost completely destroyed, countless individuals from the Yu Realm had been killed or injured.

The other cities were spared only because they housed numerous experts, and Ji Chen did not dare to linger long; he left quickly after achieving his advantage, moving on to prevent his presence from being continuously exposed to Yu Realm’s surveillance.

"Is Ji Chen truly so audacious and unrestrained?"

"In just a few short days, he’s broken through multiple cities, killing countless cultivators from our Yu Realm, at least several hundred Saint Realm level experts have died at his hands!"

"If this person is not killed, it’s truly hard to reconcile this hatred!"

From the Yu Realm’s perspective, many people were discussing, and the topic of conversation these days invariably revolved around the name Ji Chen.

Furthermore, apart from Ji Chen, other Celestial Desolators have appeared in various cities of the Yu Realm during this period.

Their actions were almost identical to Ji Chen’s, seemingly intending to disrupt the Yu Realm’s rear, assassinating innumerable Yu Realm cultivators.

This situation caused significant headaches for the Yu Realm.

The primary issue is that Ji Chen and these Celestial Desolators all operated alone, and after attacking one place, quickly shifted to another ancient city, making it almost impossible to track their whereabouts.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

On this day, cries of battle echoed across the land, war flames erupted, just as Venerable Qin had predicted, the Yu Realm finally launched a large-scale invasion, the Ten Great Ancient Cities of the Desolate Realm were simultaneously under relentless attack.

The war was unceasing, Yu Realm’s cultivators came wave after wave, showing no sign of retreating.

This was an extremely large-scale battle, the Yu Realm deployed almost two-thirds of its forces for relentless assaults on the Desolate Realm, seemingly intent on capturing it in one decisive strike.

"Has the large-scale war finally erupted..."

Though Ji Chen was deep within enemy lines, he had discovered this matter.

On this day, he arrived at "Donglin City," one of the Yu Realm’s defensive cities, and by defense capabilities, it was evidently not outstanding, ranking last among all defensive cities.

Without hesitating, he invoked the Daoist Emperor’s Weapon, instantly destroying the City Defense Array, a dark light flashed, continually slicing across the city, turning countless Yu Realm cultivators within to ashes.

Numerous people fled towards the city outskirts, faced with Ji Chen’s attack, they didn’t even possess the thought of resisting.

As for these people escaping, Ji Chen did not pursue with the intention to annihilate them all.

After looting everything within the city, he did not leave but instead leapt onto the city tower.

"Murong Lingyun, didn’t you boast you would kill me?"

The sound of the Great Dao rumbled, echoing from within Donglin City, clearly audible for nearly a thousand miles, "I am here in Donglin City, if you truly have the guts, come meet me!"

"Donglin City!"

Such words came out, stirring countless cultivators in various cities of the Yu Realm.

During this period, Ji Chen broke through multiple cities, causing panic, and thus infuriating many Yu Realm cultivators wanting to capture him.

But alas, Ji Chen’s movements were elusive and indiscernible, impossible to locate his whereabouts.

And now, he dared to make such arrogant statements within Donglin City, immediately attracting the attention of many Yu Realm cultivators.

"Two hundred thousand battle merits!"

"Your head, I want it!"

On the same day, a storm brewed on the Yu Realm’s side, countless cultivators rushed towards Donglin City, vowing to kill Ji Chen and end his reign atop the city tower.

"That is the Hundred Victories Marquis of the Desolate Realm, with outstanding battle merits; throughout this war, countless Yu Realm experts have fallen to him. Capturing him is no simple task, genuine Kings must take action."

Some discussed, believing Ji Chen’s arrogant boasts in Donglin City must surely mean he is prepared, and rashly going there to besiege him is perhaps not a wise move.

Moreover, considering his formidable strength, even if they went, ordinary people would not be able to capture him.

"What about Murong Lingyun? Will he go?" someone asked in confusion.

Soon, someone responded, "It’s said he has already left Celestial Spring City, heading far into the sky, judging by the direction, he seems to be going straight for Donglin City!"

"Good, good, good!"

"With Murong Lingyun taking action, surely this time we can capture this arrogant Ji Chen!"

Amid such comments, more and more Yu Realm cultivators also rushed towards Donglin City, seemingly eager to witness Ji Chen’s downfall firsthand.

He was too arrogant, venturing alone into Yu Realm’s depths, breaking nearly ten cities; if he doesn’t die, it really doesn’t allow the Yu Realm’s people to hold their heads high.

"Where’s Ji Chen? Come out quickly and meet your death!"

That afternoon, outside Donglin City came such an angry shout.

In the distance, in the void, numerous figures swiftly approached.

The first batch of Yu Realm cultivators had already arrived at Donglin City, promptly challenging Ji Chen.

On the city tower, Ji Chen sat cross-legged with his eyes closed; upon hearing the voice reach his ears, he slowly opened his eyes.

Looking over, he saw a middle-aged man in battle armor approaching.

Judging by the clothing and aura of the other, this was at least a strong figure at the Commander Level.

"I am Tan Lie, chief general of ’Xinghua City’, reckless brat Ji Chen, come out quickly and meet your death!"

He stood in the air, cloak fluttering furiously in the wind, resembling a Divine General, magnificent and awe-inspiring.

"A nameless pawn, dare you come to battle me?"

Ji Chen’s gaze swept over the opponent, a cold voice issued from his mouth.

He was too lazy to get up, directly using his finger as a sword, thrusting forward with force.

"Buzz!"

The void trembled, the grand momentum surged, the entire world darkened at this moment.

Great Dao Sword Intent was unleashed, the Thunderfire Law was also invoked, integrating into Ji Chen’s sword, forming the terrifying Thunderfire Sword, bearing destructive power like the apocalypse, slashing fiercely toward Tan Lie across Donglin City’s sky.

"Buzz!"

Tan Lie was greatly shocked; merely one encounter, the aura unleashed by Ji Chen’s sword was beyond his expectations, its strength far surpassing his imagination.

Without any hesitation, he immediately activated his Spiritual Sea, circulating his full aura, while forming Seal Techniques with his hands, unleashing brilliant divine light to meet Ji Chen’s descending Sword Aura, trying to block the sword’s attack.

"Boom!"

However, the divine light shattered, utterly incapable of resistance, directly destroyed into nothing by Ji Chen’s Thunderfire Sword.

The fearsome sword light showed no sign of weakening, continuing to slash fiercely toward Tan Lie, and in the blink of an eye, it fell upon his body.
