Chapter 1729: A Palm Strike from Afar

Jian Chen hurried as fast as he could and finally made it in time.

At that moment, Jiang Mengqing was sent flying by Ye Yuan’s strike. After a flurry of movements, she barely managed to steady herself.

She looked at Ye Yuan, utterly shocked.

She hadn’t expected that even though the other party was completely restrained, he still had the strength to fight back!

Only after Jian Chen spread his world force did he manage to free Ye Yuan.

Xiahou Wenjian’s face darkened. He looked at Jian Chen and said, “Master Jian Chen, I deliberately waited until this brat left the range of the Aurora Imperial City before making my move. I have shown the Aurora Imperial City more than enough sincerity!”

Jian Chen cupped his hands and said, “Brother Xiahou, I naturally see your sincerity. But… Ye Yuan is already a close friend of my master. I ask Brother Xiahou to do me a favor and let him go. How about it?”

Xiahou Wenjian’s expression turned very ugly. Jian Chen was one of the seven supreme elders of the Mystic Secrets Pavilion, holding high authority and great respect.

Under normal circumstances, he would certainly oblige him.

But now, his most beloved son was dead!

With his enemy right before him, was he supposed to give up revenge?

No, he couldn’t accept that!

“Master Jian Chen, I can agree to anything else. But this matter, I’m afraid I cannot comply! This beast killed my Yun’er. If I don’t avenge him, Yun’er will never rest in peace!” Xiahou Wenjian glared at Ye Yuan.

Jian Chen’s expression soured. This guy was being utterly unreasonable!

The Aurora Imperial City had hosted the Hundred Battle Arena for hundreds of sessions, and each time, many geniuses had fallen.

If everyone came to pick a fight like this, where would the dignity of the Aurora Imperial City be?

Jian Chen’s face turned stern. “Brother Xiahou, your words are a bit unreasonable! On the Hundred Battle Arena, life and death are one’s own responsibility—that is the rule of the Aurora Imperial City. By acting this way now, are you trying to provoke the Aurora Imperial City?”

Sure enough, Jian Chen’s words made Xiahou Wenjian’s expression change!

The Aurora Imperial City’s influence was too great—not because of its strength, but because its disciples and former officials were spread across the land.

Most of the current rulers of various imperial cities had been guided by the Aurora Imperial City.

If the Aurora Imperial City raised a call, even if only a fifth of the imperial cities responded, no one or two imperial cities could withstand it.

That was the true terror of the Aurora Imperial City.

Jian Chen looked toward Ye Yuan and saw him covered in blood, clearly severely injured.

This made him burn with rage!

His master had gone to great lengths to divine for Ye Yuan, yet Xiahou Wenjian had nearly killed him—how could he not be furious?

“Hmph! Jian Chen, don’t try to pressure me with the Aurora Imperial City! I don’t care what others do, but I must avenge my own son! Today, this brat must die!”

Jian Chen thought Xiahou Wenjian was afraid, but after hesitating for a moment, he actually said such words!

Jian Chen’s expression changed. “Xiahou Wenjian, how dare you!”

Xiahou Wenjian said solemnly, “Jian Chen, I am not standing here as the supreme elder of the Ningbei Imperial City, but as a father! Today, whoever blocks me, I will kill gods and buddhas alike!”

“You dare!” Jian Chen’s face darkened as he stepped in front of Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan’s expression also changed. This guy had completely gone mad.

Xiahou Wenjian sneered coldly. “What do I not dare? I am at the Seventh Heaven of the Divine God realm, and you are only at the Fifth Heaven! If I want to kill someone, can you stop me? You two, hold him off. I will personally kill this beast to avenge Yun’er!”

The men Xiahou Wenjian brought were also mid-stage Divine God realm experts. The two of them together could easily hold off Jian Chen.

Jian Chen’s expression changed. He said to Ye Yuan, “Run! Flee toward the Aurora Imperial City!”

Ye Yuan’s face darkened. He directly entered the Violet Pole Palace and fled toward the Aurora Imperial City.

He knew that Xiahou Wenjian absolutely would not dare to kill Jian Chen, so he had no worries.

“Trying to escape? With me here, can you?”

Xiahou Wenjian sneered, his form flickering as he vanished from the spot.

Jian Chen wanted to intervene, but the two Divine God experts had already closed in.

Two against one, and Jian Chen was immediately held back.

In the Purple Extreme Hall, Ye Yuan's face was ashen as he gritted his teeth and said, "So fast!"

The strength of a Heavenly God Seventh Heaven expert was simply unimaginable.

Ye Yuan, driving the Purple Extreme Hall, was confident he could escape from a Heavenly God First Heaven, but before a Heavenly God Seventh Heaven, he was utterly outmatched!

Xiahou Wenjian burst forward and caught up to the Purple Extreme Hall.

A terrifying aura instantly enveloped the Purple Extreme Hall.

"Heh, this is quite a treasure! My full-force strike left it completely unharmed—it must be a True God Mystic Treasure! This time, I've struck it rich!"

Xiahou Wenjian let out a sinister laugh and raised his hand to strike a palm!

Boom!

The Purple Extreme Hall had no way to dodge and took the hit head-on.

Even though Ye Yuan had pushed the Purple Extreme Hall's defense to its limit, the palm strike still shook him until he vomited blood profusely.

"Damn it! I didn't expect Xiahou Yun's father to be a Heavenly God Seventh Heaven!" Ye Yuan gritted his teeth.

Xiahou Wenjian's appearance had indeed caught him off guard.

This guy was too strong.

Boom!

Another palm strike!

Ye Yuan and the other were shaken until their bones felt like they were falling apart.

"Hahaha... The next strike will take your lives! Yun'er, your father will avenge you now!"

Xiahou Wenjian let out a wild laugh, and a fist glove had somehow appeared in his hand!

Ye Yuan's face turned pale as he said, "Not good! A Heavenly God Mystic Treasure!"

A strong man at the seventh heaven of the divine realm, donning a divine artifact, would possess unimaginable power.

Even through the Purple Extreme Hall, Ye Yuan could sense the terrifying aura outside.

With this punch, he and Ning Tianping would have no chance of survival!

Go to hell!

Xiahou Wenjian sneered and punched out fiercely.

But just then, a giant palm descended from the horizon, arriving in an instant!

Xiahou Wenjian was feeling smug when suddenly an irresistible force locked onto him.

Terrified, the punch he had just thrown froze instantly.

Ah...!

A desperate scream rang out.

Boom!

With a single palm strike, Xiahou Wenjian was reduced to ashes!

Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping exchanged glances, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

"Milord, this... who is this? So powerful! A Heavenly God at the seventh level, and he was killed with one palm!" Ning Tianping exclaimed in astonishment.

Ye Yuan said, "The Xuanji Pavilion Master!"

Ning Tianping's mouth fell open: "No way? Isn't the Xuanji Pavilion Master at most a Heavenly God at the ninth level? How could he be so powerful?"

This palm strike was not delivered from close range, but from countless thousands of miles away!

Such means were truly beyond comprehension!

Ye Yuan smiled bitterly: "It seems we have all underestimated this Xuanji Pavilion Master! His original strength was at least at the True God level!"

"Young friend Ye Yuan, go slowly. I will not see you off!" At this moment, an aged voice came from the horizon.

Ye Yuan and the other bowed respectfully in the direction of the Aurora Imperial City.
