Deal with Ye Chen Again

Xu Mu took a deep breath, jumping out of the encirclement a moment earlier, and landed on a building within the city.

He sized up the armored soldiers in front of him; there were nearly a hundred of them.

Among them, about a dozen held Chen Xuan's woodchopping knife, and another dozen or so could activate the Heavenly Demon Tribe's unsealing technique.

Besides that, he also saw a blood-red light emerging from some soldiers' bodies, which was clearly Li Chenshuang's Gu technique.

Suddenly, Xu Mu looked into the distance and saw some soldiers executing Ye Chen's moves.

These soldiers were not uniformly targeting Xu Mu, Fu Jinyu, and Li Chenshuang.

They were also fighting amongst themselves.

Swish!

A soldier who had used the unsealing technique utilized the six sword blades behind him, slashing toward Xu Mu's body all at once.

Fu Jinyu was right in front of him, so this soldier had obviously copied Fu Jinyu's moves.

Xu Mu checked through his perception, but he couldn't see through these people in front of him.

If they were merely copying other experts, Xu Mu could accept it.

Facing the incoming blades, he immediately retreated to dodge.

Fu Jinyu and Li Chenshuang were also surrounded by these soldiers.

Except for a few specific experts, the majority of the people here were no match for Fu Jinyu and Li Chenshuang.

Boom!

With a loud bang, Fu Jinyu used the sharp blade in her hand to send a soldier flying.

This soldier happened to fly right past Xu Mu's face.

Xu Mu suddenly frowned. He quickly turned his head and looked at the soldier holding a giant sword who was flying backward.

Closing his eyes to perceive, he couldn't detect anything at all.

But when Xu Mu got close to the other party's body, his perception surprisingly revealed that he was none other than Xia Chuan from the Demonic Sword Sect.

Seeing Xu Mu approaching, Xia Chuan immediately slashed at him.

Xu Mu executed the Shape-Shifting Phantom move, swapping positions with Xia Chuan.

Xia Chuan lunged at nothing. Before he could react, he began clashing with the other soldiers again.

I think I understand.

Xu Mu murmured softly.

This array was truly insidious. He was now certain that among these nearly one hundred soldiers, the vast majority were array constructs.

But real people were also hidden among them.

For instance, Xia Chuan just now was a real person.

However, the array concealed his appearance, and furthermore, this array possessed spatial attributes.

Therefore, Xu Mu's several-hundred-meter perception was restricted. However, upon getting close, he could discover whether they were real people or not.

The purpose of this array was also very simple; to put it bluntly, it was to make their own people slaughter each other.

The trap had been set from the very first cave. Those who entered the same cave would absolutely not encounter each other.

Most people, for the sake of safety, would choose to take the same path, which played right into the trap.

Everyone was separated and eventually arrived here.

For example, Xu Mu and Chen Xuan had taken the same cave.

This resulted in them being unable to meet here. In front of Xu Mu's eyes, there were only armored soldiers with identical appearances.

Among them, a dozen or so knew Chen Xuan's cultivation techniques, and the two sides could not communicate.

If he didn't have his perception, he wouldn't be able to tell them apart at all.

Coupled with the fake people intentionally attacking and provoking, it would ultimately result in friends killing each other.

Xu Mu's figure shuttled back and forth in front of these soldiers.

He spread his perception, observing these armored soldiers one by one.

He didn't find Chen Xuan, but Xu Mu discovered Ye Chen.

He immediately turned his head and shouted to Fu Jinyu, Sister Empress, come here quickly! Kill this person!

Hearing this, Fu Jinyu immediately flew toward Xu Mu's side.

She looked at the soldier Xu Mu pointed at and charged at him without hesitation.

Since Xu Mu said so, there must be a valid reason.

Xu Mu also took out his black longsword, preparing to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

...

Meanwhile.

Ye Chen was constantly dodging the surrounding soldiers. In his eyes, these soldiers were a bit dull.

There was no need for him to clash head-on with these people.

His gaze shifted to Chen Xuan in the distance, who was holding a woodchopping knife and also wasn't fighting.

Just then, a soldier suddenly stood in front of him. The next moment, a soldier with six sword blades on his back charged at him.

He thought this soldier was like the previous ones; as long as he went into the crowd, these soldiers would automatically change targets.

But he found that even when he hid in the crowd, this soldier did not shift his focus and still charged toward him.

Boom!

The forces of the two sides clashed violently.

Ye Chen's body shook violently, and he flew backward uncontrollably.

As he was flying backward, his eyes suddenly widened. He realized that another soldier was already waiting in his path, holding a longsword.

Dragon Scale Endowment!

Ye Chen erupted with golden power, and thick golden scales appeared on the surface of his body.

Xu Mu directly used the Heaven-Burning Sword Qi, slashing at Ye Chen with a single strike.

Rumble!

Ye Chen flew in the opposite direction again. His figure smashed into a distant building, shattering it on the spot.

Bang!

In an instant, Ye Chen blasted away the building debris and emerged from it.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and reached out to touch his back. Feeling a dampness there, he checked his fingers and found them covered in blood.

Before he could even react, the soldier with six sword blades on his back attacked again.

Hmph! You think you can kill me with just this?

Ye Chen clenched his fists tightly, his eyes turning golden, and the veins on his forehead and neck began to bulge. True Dragon Body, Boiling Dragon Blood!

Rumble!

Golden power erupted instantly, and a massive phantom of a dragon's head appeared behind Ye Chen.

The phantom slowly merged into his body, and at this moment, he was covered in golden scales from top to bottom.

Dragon Inhalation!

Ye Chen raised his hand, and the dragon head phantom behind him also began to inhale, causing the surrounding air to emit a screaming sound.

Buzz! Buzz!

Before Fu Jinyu's figure even arrived, Ye Chen first sucked in two black spheres.

Rumble!

The spheres exploded instantly, blasting Ye Chen's figure away on the spot, and a large chunk of the scales on his body shattered along with it.

After rolling on the ground a few times, he immediately scrambled up.

Xu Mu continued his pursuit. Looking at the Destiny Power he had acquired, he thought that perhaps this time he could finish Ye Chen off.

No matter how strong Ye Chen was, he was absolutely no match for Fu Jinyu.

Swish!

Xu Mu arrived beside Ye Chen again. Before he had time to attack, Ye Chen suddenly leaped high into the air.

Dragon Wings!

A pair of golden wings appeared on Ye Chen's back.

He flew toward the tallest building in the distance, where the shirtless, silver-haired middle-aged man was located.

Seeing this, Fu Jinyu also quickly followed.

Hahaha! Interesting! You actually dare to take the initiative to attack me!

The shirtless middle-aged man up high sneered and slashed at Ye Chen with his sword.

A streak of golden sword qi flew in front of Ye Chen in an instant, and Ye Chen immediately dodged sideways.

But in the next split second, the middle-aged man had already flashed right in front of him.

Crack!

The shield in the middle-aged man's hand smashed forcefully into Ye Chen's face, sending his body flying uncontrollably.

Seeing this, before Fu Jinyu could catch up, the middle-aged man flew right in front of her.

Xu Mu didn't worry about Fu Jinyu; she still held the transfer token in her hand, so if there was real danger, she should be able to teleport to his side.

He looked up to observe the direction Ye Chen was flying backward and ran toward the depths of the city.

Even if he couldn't kill Ye Chen, making him lose a massive amount of Destiny Power was still a good thing for Xu Mu.

After crossing a few streets, Xu Mu caught sight of an armored soldier darting down an alleyway, heading deeper inside.

Xu Mu immediately gave chase. This was a golden opportunity, and he definitely couldn't afford to waste it.
