Countless people still coveted Ye Chu’s sacred liquid, so despite Ye Chu being so overwhelmingly powerful that it sent chills down people’s spines, countless cultivators still surrounded and attacked him.
But every time the results came out, they shocked people beyond control.
“Eighth City! Ye Chu killed two kings, disabled a hundred people, and left through the shattered city gate!”
“Seventh City! The Huang Family laid a dragnet, their old patriarch personally wielding the family treasure, setting up an inescapable net, cooperating with guardians, yet Ye Chu shattered their weapons, pierced through their heads, killed every last Huang Family member, and burst out of the city!”
“…”
“Fifth City! Eight guardian kings guarded one side, using mysterious stones to set up a formation. The eight cooperated seamlessly, rumoured to have undergone special training even praised by emperors, yet they were still crippled by Ye Chu, three injured, three killed, and he retreated completely unharmed.”
“Fourth City! Gathering all the city’s cultivators’ power, they laid down defences wanting to block Ye Chu outside. Yet he actually saw through the formation’s flaw, killed into the city, blood flowed like rivers, captured three kings in the city, and refined them into dried corpses!”
“…”
Ye Chu’s battle records continuously came out, making people’s hearts race, no one could remain calm.
“Too heaven-defying, the sieges against him grew stronger each time. Yet he charged through again and again!”
“Tsk tsk, even the eight kings’ siege was more than half crippled by him, what a monster!”
“Could he really fight his way out of the Proud Heavens Road? Incredible!”
“…”
The world had gone mad for it, Ye Chu’s battle records were too extraordinary, all the way killing here. The kings Ye Chu had killed had long exceeded ten.
Kings were lofty figures in their eyes, the lifelong pursuit of many cultivators. Yet such figures had been slain by Ye Chu in who knows how many numbers.
As for other cultivators, no one could count them anymore. They only knew that as Ye Chu killed his way through, blood had dyed his hands red, truly like a demon who only knew slaughter.
While people were shocked by this, several more world-shaking battle records came out. Ye Chu had actually in the third city directly smashed the city walls, burying over a hundred guardians.
Amid continuous exclamations, Ye Chu continued charging toward the road back. Some even believed Ye Chu could walk out of the Proud Heavens Road, could become a legend of the Proud Heavens Road.
Sure enough, in the second city, Ye Chu directly killed his way out. The cultivators blocking Ye Chu in the second city were completely annihilated, blood filled the second city, and the entire Proud Heavens Road trembled at this news.
“Only one city remains, as long as he walks out of the last city, he will succeed!”
“Heavens! Could it be that this time another legend will appear? How many years has it been, who has been able to reverse course and charge out of the Proud Heavens Road? He is the first, only the last step remains!”
“…”
Everyone grew excited, they wanted to witness a legend. At this moment toward Ye Chu they felt no jealousy, only reverence.
And just as everyone waited for Ye Chu to kill his way out of the first city, shocking news came from the first city.
“In the first city, it is said there are twelve kings. Guardians beyond count, the twelve kings are all ones Ye Chu failed to kill along the way. They have all gathered now, plus the guardians pursuing him, it is truly a dragon’s pool and tiger’s den. Heavens, such a force was actually assembled just to deal with Ye Chu?”
“Only the last city remains, but with such a force surrounding and killing Ye Chu, I fear Ye Chu will meet his downfall here.”
“What a pity, only one step away.”
“Tsk tsk, if it were me, I would hide in one place and cultivate for ten or eight years. With his talent, after cultivating for so many years, these people would be nothing to worry about. Moreover, these cultivators could not possibly linger in the first city for too long, right? As long as he drags it out, Ye Chu could naturally charge out by then.”
“That makes sense. If Ye Chu is smart, he probably won’t show his head in the short term. Having just fought his way out of the second city, he should be exhausted too.”
“…”
Just as everyone sighed over this, the result exceeded all expectations. A youth covered in bloodstains slowly walked into the first city. On his shoulder sat a beautiful snow-white fox.
The blood on the youth’s body was still wet, yet that white fox was not stained in the slightest, its fur clean as snow.
The youth’s appearance, news immediately swept through heaven and earth like a tornado. Everyone found it inconceivable, because no one had thought Ye Chu would choose to appear at this moment.
Judging from the time of Ye Chu’s appearance, Ye Chu had clearly rushed toward the first city with full force immediately after leaving the second city.
“Isn’t he too bold? Moreover, doesn’t he need to rest and recuperate, restore his essence, energy, and spirit to their strongest state?”
“Tsk tsk, Ye Chu doesn’t know about this force, right? Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly dare to do this!”
Everyone discussed this animatedly, all eyes seemed to focus on Ye Chu. Of course, those cultivators who heard the news but could not watch this scene all felt it was a great pity.
After Ye Chu reached the first city, without saying a word, he directly charged into the first city. Those blocking his path were killed on the spot without a second word, using great techniques to directly annihilate them.
Ye Chu’s strikes were terrifying and overbearing, ruthless and bloody. In his eyes, cultivators were not people at all, but like ants. Blood sprayed onto his body, yet he did not change colour in the slightest. In Ye Chu’s eyes, there was only the road constantly forward, everything ahead was an obstacle.
Ye Chu’s such ruthless and arrogant actions enraged the experts hidden in the first city. The twelve kings and guardians all charged out, each driving great techniques to annihilate Ye Chu.
A great battle thus unfolded. Ye Chu fought until he spat blood, holding nothing back. Whether it was the Burial Void Sword Technique, or Flourishing Like Brocade, or Sword Slaughter, all were driven to the extreme. Blue veins surged on his body, his blood was about to boil. Every burst of power was terrifying.
Fighting to this moment, Ye Chu’s blood was practically boiling from battle.
This battle fought until heaven and earth grew dark. Forceful energy flew wildly, countless buildings throughout the city directly collapsed from it.
Countless cultivators had originally wanted to witness this battle, but fighting to the end, they could see nothing at all. All that remained was dirt and rubble filling the sky, their eyes could only see the shadows of combat.
Most importantly, some cultivators who drew close were directly swept up and killed, their bodies exploding.
Countless cultivators could only see twelve kings and countless guardians charging at Ye Chu. Fierce and ferocious, the battlefield was terrifyingly chaotic. Simply watching from afar, they could feel the terrifying battle scene, making cultivators draw in cold breaths one after another.
