Chapter 3998: Chapter 3998: Yue Hun Witch (Part 3)
At the moment when everyone closed their eyes, the cold light of the Blood Moon Slaughter Sky Slash had already sliced the long spear in half, transforming into a streak of streaming light, instantly appearing in front of Hou Tian.
"No! Impossible!"
Seeing the sword light smashing toward him, Hou Tian’s eyes were filled with shock. Even though he was a Qiankun Realm expert, he found it difficult to resist Ye Chen’s strike.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Hou Tian cursed furiously; the cold light had already descended, and he had no time to dodge, only to explode the Burning Freedom Heaven. Several crimson shields of blood essence appeared in front of him, while a Hexagonal Exquisite Mirror flew out from the center of his brow.
"Bang!"
At this moment, the Blood Moon Cold Light tore through All Heavens, sweeping downward with unmatched grandeur that shook the universe.
The Hexagonal Exquisite Mirror was Hou Tian’s most cherished life-saving magic treasure, capable of blocking a lethal strike from a Qiankun Realm expert; yet now, under the Blood Moon Cold Light, it shattered instantly.
"Puff!"
As the Hexagonal Exquisite Mirror shattered, Hou Tian’s aura immediately wilted, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. But before he could react, the Blood Moon Cold Light had already cut through the shields of blood essence, slashing directly into Hou Tian’s Burning Freedom Heaven.
"Ah!"
The sharpness of the Blood Moon Cold Light was unparalleled, and the moment it slashed into the Burning Freedom Heaven, it rent Hou Tian’s Burning Freedom Heaven in two, completely cutting it apart, and Hou Tian’s body was nearly severed by the cold light.
However, at this moment, the power of the Blood Moon Cold Light was finally spent and failed to kill Hou Tian completely, but it still inflicted serious injuries on him; his Burning Freedom Heaven was torn in two, a thousand holes gaping, and his physical body was dripping with blood, looking extremely miserable.
"Cough..."
Ye Chen, clutching the Dust-falling Dragon Subduing Sword, couldn’t help but cough lightly, as the blood essence and energy inside him churned and surged. Utilizing the Blood Moon Slaughter Sky Slash of the Triple Blood Moon had also greatly consumed Ye Chen, now barely able to maintain his movement.
Seeing Ye Chen’s poor condition, Xiao Bai’s expression changed slightly and, disregarding the danger, came directly to Ye Chen’s side.
On the other side, Hou Tian fell to the ground, his eyes full of endless humiliation and killing intent. Ye Chen was now at the end of his rope, but the elders and disciples of Bright Moon Valley dared not make a move against Ye Chen, completely intimidated by him.
Even Hou Tian himself had not anticipated that he, a dignified Qiankun Realm expert, could not take down Ye Chen, a Holy Ancestor Realm individual, and had almost died at Ye Chen’s hands. His Burning Freedom Heaven was battered and dilapidated, nearly destroyed completely.
"Ah ah ah!"
Hou Tian lay on the ground, covered in blood, suddenly unleashing a roar of unwillingness. The next moment, the shattered Burning Freedom Heaven surrounding him unexpectedly emanated boundless and vast mighty power.
This vast mighty power contained a sense of madness and desperation, and upon sensing Hou Tian’s current aura, everyone’s expression changed.
"Not good!"
At this moment, Ye Chen also looked toward Hou Tian in shock, observing the enemy’s wounds recovering at a rapid pace, as he rose from the ground with killing intent surging in his eyes.
The Burning Freedom Heaven surrounding Hou Tian’s entire body suddenly erupted into a blazing fire. This fire appeared imaginary, as if flames from another world were burning—visible, yet untouchable.
"This lunatic, actually burning his own Burning Freedom Heaven!"
At this moment, Ye Chen couldn’t help but curse.
The burning of the Burning Freedom Heaven is a trump card for Qiankun Realm experts, only used when in dire straits, as the Burning Freedom Heaven is too precious for Qiankun Realm experts—no one is willing to use it lightly.
But if the Burning Freedom Heaven is completely exhausted, a Qiankun Realm expert is likely to directly fall to the Heavenly Repairing Realm, and might never advance in their division of realms again.
At this moment, Hou Tian was clearly thoroughly mad, willingly burning his own Burning Freedom Heaven just to personally slay Ye Chen and wash away his shame!
"Boom!"
Flames soared skyward from around Hou Tian, his momentum raging like thunder, shattering the sky. At this moment, he coldly stared at Ye Chen.
"You bastard, I’ll make sure you understand the consequences of offending Bright Moon Valley, of offending me, Hou Tian!"
Hou Tian was already completely insane, utterly disregarding the shattered state of his Burning Freedom Heaven, frantically burning it to gain power, condensing a world-shaking long spear in his hand, stabbing viciously toward Ye Chen.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chen’s pupils couldn’t help but contract slightly; this spear from Hou Tian was clearly insignificant compared to the previous blood-colored spear, but Ye Chen could no longer wield the Blood Moon Slaughter Sky Slash, and at this moment, had no way to block Hou Tian.
"It’s over!"
Ye Chen’s heart felt a chill; facing the ferocious assault from Hou Tian, he nevertheless picked up the Slaughter Sword, refusing to retreat as he met Hou Tian head-on.
Seeing that Ye Chen, already at death’s door, was still standing his ground against the frenzied, Burning Freedom Heaven-empowered Hou Tian, Xiao Bai’s eyes were inevitably filled with emotion, and two streams of hot tears flowed down.
"Brother Ye Chen, how can Xiao Bai let you face this alone? This time, let me protect you!"
At this moment, Xiao Bai’s Taiyin Jade Rabbit form burst forth with overwhelming ferocity, vast murderous intent sweeping out, as Xiao Bai leaped past Ye Chen to confront Hou Tian’s spear.
"Xiao Bai, don’t!"
Ye Chen stepped forward actively, worried about Xiao Bai’s safety, but did not expect Xiao Bai to take action to protect him. At this moment, wanting to stop her was already too late, and he could only watch helplessly as Xiao Bai collided with Hou Tian.
"Haha! You truly have such a strong bond, huh? But don’t worry, you’ll both die!"
Hou Tian flashed a ferocious smile, thrusting his spear to directly slice open Xiao Bai’s flesh, blood splattering, and Xiao Bai’s aura weakened instantly, flying backward.
"Xiao Bai..."
Seeing Xiao Bai severely injured and flying back, Ye Chen hastily reached out to catch her, looking at the blood-drenched form of the Taiyin Jade Rabbit, a flash of pain crossed Ye Chen’s eyes.
Ye Chen was furious, unable to protect Xiao Bai, now having to let her suffer such severe injuries while protecting him.
Moreover, at this moment, facing the flaming Burning Freedom Heaven of Hou Tian, Ye Chen still had no means of responding; the Wu Clan’s mark couldn’t be activated, and the Dao Seal had no strength to be utilized, unless he wasn’t afraid of exposing his identity, wasn’t afraid of attracting those supreme beings’ gaze...
And at this moment, Hou Tian’s smile was already crazed, ferociously charging in.
Just as Ye Chen resolved to give it his all and kill Hou Tian at any cost, the Samsara Graveyard suddenly stirred, and a voice abruptly sounded.
"Humph, who would have thought this old fool would be so insane. I’ll help you hold him off, and you take the Taiyin Jade Rabbit and run."
This was the voice of the Yue Hun Witch speaking. Ye Chen felt a surge of joy, and the next moment sensed a vast great power sweeping out from the Samsara Graveyard.
"Boom!"
At this moment, Hou Tian, charging at Ye Chen with murderous intent, suddenly found that the entire sky was shrouded in endless pitch-black moonlight. The moonlight rained down from the sky, enveloping all around. It was impossible to see anything; not only had Ye Chen and Xiao Bai vanished, but even the elders and disciples of Bright Moon Valley, and the surrounding valleys, were nowhere to be seen.
At this moment, Hou Tian felt as if he had been dragged into an endless abyss, a vast void, appearing in a mysterious space where only he was present.
