Chapter 1163 Ye Chen Makes His Move!

The other person was dressed in a simple white outfit; although the fabric was plain, it accentuated his tall and straight figure.

Without any fancy accessories, his well-defined face, deep and calm eyes, and the unhurried demeanor surrounding him were like warm and smooth jade.

Even standing in a crowd, he exudes a unique sense of aloofness, enough to make even male cultivators who usually consider themselves geniuses feel ashamed in comparison!

However, this man had been far too low-key before.

He seemed to never speak on his own initiative, nor did he ever release any aura.

Even as You Ruo and Xie Purou fought fiercely beside him, he simply stood still, like a detached spectator.

So much so that all the brilliance was absorbed by the two women, and no one noticed his presence.

Upon closer inspection, Cao Jian felt a surge of dread, a nameless sense of fear welling up within him.

How could someone with such extraordinary bearing be an ordinary follower?

While everyone was still discussing and looking around for their master's whereabouts, and some were even speculating whether that master might be some reclusive old monster.

A figure in white, like a feather gently lifted by the spring breeze, slowly rose into the air without warning.

That's Ye Chen.

He did not emit any fluctuations of immortal power, nor did he leak out any aura of the laws of the Great Dao.

It seemed not to rise into the air by force, but rather to float naturally in accordance with the air currents between heaven and earth.

His clothes swayed gently in the breeze, and his hair fluttered slightly with the air currents. His movements were as relaxed as if he were taking a stroll in a courtyard, without any deliberate effort, yet they carried an indescribable sense of rhythm.

His appearance was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

The previously noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, and even the whispers disappeared without a trace.

Countless gazes filled with doubt, surprise, and shock turned to the white-clad figure in mid-air. The air seemed to freeze, leaving only the subconscious breath-holding of the crowd.

Someone's mouth was agape, and they couldn't close it for a long time.

Some people rubbed their eyes, thinking they were seeing things.

Someone else instinctively tugged at the sleeve of the person next to them, asking in a trembling voice, "Who...who is that? Could it be...could it be that he is...?"

The same guess arose in everyone's mind, but because the guess was so astonishing, no one dared to say it aloud.

But who else, besides the two girls' master, would dare to stand up at this moment?

All the generals of the City of Ashes watched Ye Chen warily. They thought that if the two girls were already so powerful, wouldn't their master be even more powerful?

When General Black Viper saw Ye Chen appear, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes and stared at him with a dangerous look in his eyes.

"So it's you? As their master, I'd like to see just how capable you are, daring to run wild in Ashes City!"

General Black Viper's voice was chilling yet tinged with anticipation and excitement.

As a powerful expert at the peak of the God Emperor realm, he was eager to test this person's strength.

Xie Purou made no attempt to hide her sarcasm, shouting at him, "Wait until you survive before you act so arrogant!!!"

General Black Viper may have seemed to disregard her words, but in reality, he had already elevated his energy and spirit to their peak!

A terrifying black immortal power surged from his body, and the Black Viper General's body continued to grow taller, with thick muscles and fine black snake scales reflecting light, revealing the power gathered within him!

Everyone present involuntarily shrank back; faced with this terrifying aura, even these generals felt extremely uncomfortable.

Bloodshot eyes filled with terror were all turned to the figure whose aura was still rising wildly—General Black Viper!

The air around him seemed to be stirred by an invisible force, creating visible black ripples.

The oppressive aura was like a heavy mountain, making everyone present feel tense and even their breathing difficult.

"This... this is the aura of the peak God Emperor realm?!"

A general instinctively took a half step back, his voice trembling uncontrollably, and beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead: "I originally thought that after reaching the late stage of the Divine Emperor realm, the difference between the peak and the peak realm was only a hair's breadth, but I never expected it to be so vast! This power is enough to crush one's soul!"

"If I were to face General Black Viper right now..."

Another general in silver armor, his face deathly pale, his Adam's apple bobbing, said, "I'm afraid he could blast me to dust with just a casual move!!!"

"General Black Viper is completely serious now!!!"

Someone clenched their fists, their gaze darting back and forth between General Black Viper and Ye Chen: "I wonder if this guy who suddenly appeared is even qualified to withstand his thunderous wrath?!"

"He's the master of those two women; to be able to forge such wondrous armor, his own strength must be considerable!!!"

In the corner, a white-haired general stroked his beard, his eyes grave: "I'm actually a little worried about General Black Viper!"

"That's what I think too! How could an ordinary cultivator possibly forge the kind of armor they wear that combines offense and defense? They must have real skills!!!" someone next to him quickly chimed in.

"Can you guys stop undermining your own morale?!"

A burly, dark-faced general roared, his voice booming like thunder: "In our Ashes City, General Black Viper's strength is firmly among the top ten. Is there anything he can't handle?!"

The generals of the city of Ash gathered around, whispering and discussing amongst themselves.

Some people looked disdainful, thinking that Ye Chen was no match for the Black Viper General, who was at the peak of the Divine Emperor realm.

Especially now, General Black Viper's aura is becoming increasingly intense, clearly indicating that he is about to engage in a peak duel.

Everyone knows that General Black Viper is definitely among the top in the entire Ash City's combat power rankings.

When he reaches his peak condition, that is the most dangerous moment, when his fierce aura almost solidifies.

However, many people secretly wondered if General Black Viper was indeed powerful, since the opponent dared to challenge him alone, he must also have extraordinary abilities.

Otherwise, how could they have dared to storm the City of Ashes and cause trouble for General Black Viper?

Everyone had their own thoughts, but their eyes all held the same expectation.

They all wanted to see General Black Viper brutally kill the other side!

After all, not long ago his two female apprentices had caused a huge disturbance in the city by relying on the power of their armor.

Not only were several buildings destroyed, but several generals were also killed, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the reputation of the City of Ashes.

Only if General Black Viper can annihilate the enemy can this humiliation be washed away and the lost face be regained!

At this moment, General Black Viper had already raised his aura to its peak.

He seemed to be enveloped in a thick, black fog, the fog swirling and emitting a foul, snake-like stench.

The surrounding space was distorted like water by this terrifying power, and fine cracks spread in the void, as if it would shatter and collapse completely in the next second!

His muscles bulged high, and his body was covered with a layer of fine, fish-scale-like black snake scales.

The edges of the scales gleamed with a cold, icy light, shifting and shifting in the dim light, exuding an indestructible quality.

Those dark golden snake eyes were narrowed into thin lines, with a chilling aura surging deep within them, like ice that had never melted for millennia, fixedly locked onto Ye Chen not far away.

His eyes were devoid of any warmth, like a venomous snake about to pounce on its prey, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment!

The next moment, a terrifying aura that could destroy the world suddenly exploded from the Black Viper General's body, and the shockwave blew the surrounding rocks flying everywhere!

"Ten Thousand Serpents Devour the Sky!!!"

General Black Viper let out a deafening roar, his voice containing immense divine power, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

The countless black immortal powers surging from his body instantly transformed into small snakes, each as thick as a thumb, which twisted and coiled in the mist, hissing as they flicked their tongues.

His entire body's power erupted completely, and dense black immortal energy shot into the sky like a fountain, suddenly transforming into thousands of small black snakes in mid-air.

These tiny snakes, densely packed and overwhelming, surged towards Ye Chen like a black tide!

They were incredibly fast, like streaks of black lightning slicing across the sky.

Each of the small snakes had a pair of dark golden vertical pupils, exuding a chilling and unsettling aura.

The snake's mouth was wide open, revealing sharp fangs, as if it wanted to devour everything in its path!

The sky was covered with countless tiny black snakes, blocking out the sunlight and turning the entire world into a pitch-black expanse that sent chills down one's spine!

Faced with such a shocking attack, the surrounding generals felt a chill run down their spines, and their backs were instantly soaked with cold sweat.

Their eyes widened in disbelief. They couldn't even imagine how they would defend themselves against such an attack. They probably wouldn't even have time to react before being torn to shreds!

However, in front of Ye Chen, this seemingly impeccable and terrifying attack appeared extremely fragile.

Ye Chen's expression remained calm, his lips moved slightly, and he slowly exhaled.

The breath was exhaled very naturally and smoothly, without the slightest earth-shattering noise, as if it were just an ordinary person's breath.

But the moment this breath left his body, it instantly merged with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, transforming into a terrifying gale that swept across all directions!

"Hoo ho ho!!!"

The wind howled, like the roar of thousands of ferocious beasts, its force terrifying.

The entire world instantly became even darker, and countless sharp gales condensed in the gale, like a dense array of silver blades, piercing the air with a piercing sound, and fiercely rushed into the swarm of snakes in front!

These sharp gusts of wind slashed at the black snake as if they were cutting through a fragile cabbage with the sharpest divine weapon.

The process was completely unimpeded, and the black snakes were easily cut into pieces, turning into chunks of black corpses!

It was as if their seemingly hard snake scales were made of tofu, utterly vulnerable!

Under the sweep of this terrifying gale, not a single black snake could escape unscathed.

Their carcasses fell from mid-air, carrying a strong, pungent stench, like a nauseating downpour of foul-smelling flesh!

Seeing this, all the generals present were dumbfounded, their mouths agape, unable to believe their eyes.

They had guessed beforehand that Ye Chen was definitely a hidden master with extraordinary strength.

He thought he would have a fierce and earth-shattering battle with General Black Viper!

The power of General Black Viper's attack, "Ten Thousand Serpents Devouring the Sky," was evident to all, and it was no easy task to contend with it!

Everyone anticipated that the two would fight back and forth, resulting in a stalemate.

To everyone's surprise, the expected stalemate did not occur.

On the contrary, Ye Chen simply blew out a breath and easily neutralized the Black Viper General's powerful attack.

Such strength is truly unbelievable and completely beyond everyone's imagination!

General Black Viper was also shocked. He had long expected that his opponent must be a strong person, but he never expected that his powerful attack would be so vulnerable in the eyes of his opponent!

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the surprise in his eyes was instantly replaced by boundless rage and burning fighting spirit, and the black mist around him churned even more violently!

"Great! Excellent!!!"

General Black Viper raised his head and roared, his voice filled with excitement and arrogance: "Only this is worthy of being my opponent!!!"

General Black Viper roared, clenching his right fist tightly until his knuckles turned white from the force. Countless streams of pure black power converged on his fist like flowing water, emitting a "sizzling" sound of energy collision.

Then, he stepped into the void and shot out like an arrow, with an indomitable momentum, and threw a punch at Ye Chen!

This punch may seem simple and direct, without any fancy moves, but it actually contains earth-shattering power!

He concentrated all his power into this one punch.

Whether it was the immense immortal power of the peak God Emperor realm or the innate strength of his physical body, it was all poured into it without reservation!

"boom!!!"

With a deafening roar, like a thunderclap, the heavens and earth trembled.

Wherever General Black Viper's fist passed, the space in front of him shattered inch by inch, and cracks spread like a spider web, as if a mirror had been smashed, with fragments flying everywhere and emitting dangerous spatial turbulence!

With such a terrifying aura, General Black Viper instantly appeared in front of Ye Chen. The black light on his fist was so dazzling that it almost burned people's eyes!

The power of that punch was truly astonishing!

When the fist's energy erupted, everyone present felt a stinging pain in their eyes, as if countless sharp steel spikes had pierced them!

It's like being bitten by countless venomous snakes!
