690: Chapter 690 Not enough to convince you?

"You are not worthy!"

A deep voice came from behind the crowd without warning.

Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice.

A burly middle-aged man with a full beard walked out from behind Bai Canghe.

His entire being exuded an overbearing aura.

It was the Sect Master of the Tianyi Sect, Yin Shenli!

A super expert at the peak of the Golden Core Stage, with one foot already stepped into the Nascent Soul Stage!

Yin Shenli walked to the front, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked down at Ye Chen condescendingly.

"I shall face you."

Ye Chen looked at him, his expression unchanged.

"You?"

"You alone are not enough."

Yin Shenli's face darkened instantly.

Who was he?

The Sect Master of the Tianyi Sect!

Ever since he took the position twenty years ago and became the Sect Master of the Tianyi Sect, no one had dared to speak to him in such a tone.

This Ye Chen was the first.

"Arrogant brat, you are courting death!"

Yin Shenli roared, and his right foot slammed into the ground.

"Boom!!!"

The entire valley trembled. The ground cracked in all directions with his right foot as the center, and gravel scattered everywhere.

He shot towards Ye Chen like a cannonball.

As he approached,

he pointed his finger, and a glowing, ethereal longsword appeared around his body.

Then, at the moment he bore down on him, it slashed toward Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen!"

"Some in the Hehuan Sect call themselves Sword Venerable or Sword Saint."

"But what they don't know is..."

"I am the true number one in the profound meaning of the sword!"

"Are you prepared to face my wrath???"

The scene, which seemed capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart, shocked the tens of thousands present, their hearts leaping to their throats.

Such strong Sword Intent!

Such terrifying sword might!

This is having comprehended the profound meaning of the sword to the extreme!

Can that Ye Chen... block it?

"Do you think your Sword Intent is stronger than theirs?"

Ye Chen looked up, a trace of disdain appearing on his face.

"But in my eyes, your Sword Intent and their Sword Intent..."

"Are no different."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen remained motionless, merely glancing at the sword slashing through the void.

The next second, an astonishing scene occurred...

The ethereal sword, which should have slashed at Ye Chen, paused strangely above Ye Chen's head.

Immediately after, a violent burst of sword energy swept in all directions, shattering the ground around Ye Chen.

Yet, only the spot where Ye Chen stood remained unscathed!

And Yin Shenli seemed to have frozen as well; his two fingers, which had been thrust forward, stopped right in front of Ye Chen's eyes.

Then, just like the ethereal sword, he was stuck and could not move forward, as if an invisible force was blocking him.

Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide open.

Wait... did Ye Chen block this???

But the problem was, he didn't seem to have used any techniques, and the True Qi on his body hadn't moved at all!

What... what was going on?

But soon, they knew the reason!

Yin Shenli's face was filled with shock and astonishment: "How... did you block it?"

"I just said it."

Ye Chen shook his head, "You are no different from that Sword Saint or Sword Venerable."

Yin Shenli: "???"

Ye Chen said helplessly: "You shouldn't have, you really shouldn't have used Sword Intent to attack me; that does you no good at all."

Yin Shenli: "???"

Ye Chen stretched: "Because, I also know Sword Intent."

Yin Shenli: "???"

Ye Chen also knew Sword Intent?

No one had mentioned this!

But come to think of it... of those who had gone to trouble Ye Chen, who was still alive?

Because they were all dead, he didn't know that Ye Chen actually knew Sword Intent...

However, before he could think more, Ye Chen raised a hand.

Then, in front of everyone, he gently extended his middle finger and thumb, then flicked it into the void.

Suddenly, an astonishing scene appeared!

The ethereal sword shattered in the void.

Immediately after, under the shocked gazes of countless people, it re-condensed.

Only, the tip of the sword was no longer pointing at Ye Chen, but at Yin Shenli.

The next moment, it slashed down directly.

Yin Shenli looked horrified and instinctively channeled all his True Qi to protect his body.

But that Sword Intent was too strong.

It was so strong that his protective True Qi was like paper, instantly torn to shreds.

"Boom!!!"

The Sword Intent penetrated his body, like thousands of steel needles stabbing into his internal organs simultaneously.

"Pfft!!!"

Yin Shenli spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body like a kite with a broken string, tracing an arc in the air before crashing onto the ground dozens of zhang away.

"Boom!"

A large pit was smashed into the ground, gravel scattered, and dust flew everywhere.

Yin Shenli lay at the bottom of the pit, covered in blood, his Daoist robe in tatters, his overbearing and ferocious face filled with disbelief.

He struggled to get up but found that the True Qi in his body was rampaging, his meridians were in excruciating pain, and he couldn't muster any strength at all.

Another mouthful of blood surged up his throat, flowing down the corner of his mouth and staining the front of his robe red.

Dead silence!

A deathly silence!

In the valley of tens of thousands, even the sound of breathing seemed to have stopped at this moment.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, looking at Ye Chen as if they had seen a ghost.

One move.

Only one move.

The Sect Master of the Tianyi Sect, a super expert at the peak of the Golden Core Stage with one foot in the Nascent Soul Stage, was just like that, beaten by Ye Chen in one move until he vomited blood and couldn't get up.

Moreover, Ye Chen hadn't even moved.

He just raised his hand and flicked his finger.

Then, Yin Shenli's proud Sword Intent had blown him away!?

"F...Fuck!"

In the crowd, I don't know who regained their senses first and couldn't help but swear.

The next second, the entire valley instantly erupted.

And the expressions of Bai Canghe and the others also changed completely.

They had thought... that Yin Shenli was hiding an incomparably powerful Sword Intent, and once he made a move, even if he couldn't defeat Ye Chen, he could at least test Ye Chen's depth.

But the result?

Ye Chen didn't even let them see his depth before blowing Yin Shenli away.

What kind of test is this???

Ye Chen put his hand down and shrugged helplessly.

"I said it, one person definitely wouldn't be enough, yet you didn't believe me?"

"Now it's great, only you are lying there; how embarrassing."

The whole crowd: "..."

Tens of thousands of people looked at each other, speechless.

What he said... was too asking for a beating.

The moment Yin Shenli heard this, blood rushed up and he spat it out.

Then, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out from anger...

Seeing this, Bai Canghe's face turned even darker.

"Ye Chen, we underestimated you."

"But do you think that by defeating one Yin Shenli, you can do whatever you want in front of us?"

"You are too naive!"

As his voice fell, the experts of the Eight Great Powers behind him all took a step forward in unison.

The next second, "Boom!!!"

More than twenty terrifying auras erupted simultaneously, making it hard for people to breathe.

Ye Chen glanced at the group, his expression unchanged.

"Do whatever I want?"

"I never thought about doing whatever I want."

"I just wanted you to be a bit fairer and not engage in those backroom deals."

"What, is that wrong too?"

Bai Canghe's face darkened: "You..."

"Alright, alright, stop the nonsense."

Ye Chen waved his hand, interrupting him.

"Then everyone, can you announce the results now?"

"The champion, my Ancient Tomb Sect will take it."

"Who approves, who opposes?"

The crowd fell into dead silence again.

Tens of thousands of gazes fell squarely on Bai Canghe.

Bai Canghe was furious.

Announce the Ancient Tomb Sect as the champion?

Then what did he bring a group of experts here for today?

To be background props for Ye Chen?

To be used for Ye Chen to slap in the face?

He gritted his teeth: "Ye Chen, if you want to ruin the Martial Arts Tournament today, our Nine Great Forces will definitely not be soft-hearted!"

"Huh?"

Ye Chen feigned surprise, "What, do you want to keep fighting me all together?"

Bai Canghe said coldly: "We won't fight you, but you won't be able to take the Martial Arts Tournament championship either."

"Is that so?"

Ye Chen grinned, "Then let's try it out, whose words are the truth?"

Bai Canghe didn't say another word, simply walking up to Ye Chen.

Then, he deliberately lowered his voice.

"Try it out?"

"The Bai family in the capital, the Chu family in the capital."

"Your parents in Xiamen City, the CEO of Shuyue Group, your former beautiful teacher, the hostess of the nightclub..."

"Do you think you have three heads and six arms to save them all at the same time?"

Ye Chen's face darkened instantly.

A threat!

An unmasked threat!

He never expected... that the Bai family, one of the Five Great Families of the Kunlun Ruins, would actually do such a thing???

Bai Canghe looked at Ye Chen's expression, his smile deepening.

"So..."

"I will give you two choices."

"Either withdraw from the Martial Arts Tournament, hand over the bronze key you have, and hand over the secrets you are hiding."

"I can spare them and only kill you."

"Or, you can watch our people kill them all, then kill you, and take it ourselves."
