Chapter 1790: Next Time You Won't Be So Lucky

A Celestial God powerhouse!

The blue-robed youth before him was a true Celestial God powerhouse!

He looked down at Ye Yuan with an indifferent gaze from a position of superiority.

Ye Yuan's gaze was icy cold, and he sneered, "For a dignified Celestial God powerhouse to stoop to sneak-attacking a Sixth Layer Divine Lord, you truly display great might, sir!"

Chiba's sneak attack was utterly shameless.

How formidable was a strike from a Celestial God powerhouse?

Even in a head-on confrontation, a Divine Lord realm cultivator would be no match.

Yet this Chiba had chosen to launch a sneak attack, and at a time when Ye Yuan was in the midst of a great battle with Zhong Hanlin.

Qianye said lightly, “Hanlin is a genius of my Flying Flower Sect, with boundless prospects ahead. His entry into the sect is already a certainty. If you want to kill him, I step in to stop you—what’s the problem?”

Ye Yuan sneered upon hearing this, “Oh really? Just now, you did more than just stop me, didn’t you?”

Qianye raised an eyebrow, still calm, “A Sixth Heaven Divine Lord—killing one is no big deal, insignificant to the sect.”

At these words, the others showed strange expressions.

Insignificant?

A peerless genius who had fused the laws of the sword and the laws of space—insignificant to the sect?

How shameless!

“Heh… heh, if trash like you can enter the sect, why can’t I?” Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and mocked.

Qianye frowned slightly, displeased, “You call me trash?”

Qianye was a standout among the younger generation, long promoted to inner disciple, a pillar of the Flying Flower faction.

Now, he was actually called trash.

"A dignified Celestial Realm expert launching a sneak attack, yet unable to kill even a Sixth Heaven Divine Lord. Tell me, aren't you trash? What use does the sect have for trash like you?"

Ye Yuan's sharp retort left Chiba speechless.

Ye Yuan had comprehended the laws of space and was extremely sensitive to spatial fluctuations.

To launch a sneak attack, one had to reduce spatial fluctuations to a minimum.

This was also because Ye Yuan was engaged in battle with Zhong Hanlin, with most of his attention focused on Zhong Hanlin.

Otherwise, he would have had no chance to launch a sneak attack.

Yet even so, he still failed.

Ye Yuan's sensitivity to the laws of space exceeded his imagination.

Chiba's face turned ashen, and he said in a deep voice, "Sharp-tongued brat, but it doesn't matter. Soon you won't be able to speak."

With that, the pressure of Chiba's Divine Realm suddenly erupted, and he was about to make a move against Ye Yuan.

Suddenly, a graceful figure dashed out and stood in front of Ye Yuan.

Chiba frowned and said in a deep voice, "Baili Qingyan, are you going to block me?"

Baili Qingyan said calmly, "Before the first round of assessment is completed, he is my companion. No one is allowed to kill him!"

Chiba's expression changed, and he snorted, "Just you?"

From the moment he saw Ye Yuan fighting alone against Zhong Hanlin and Duan Qinghong, he had decided to kill Ye Yuan.

Such a monstrous existence was bound to disrupt the current structure of Shadow Moon Sect.

Now, with the Huang Ling Martial Meet imminent, he could not allow such a thing to happen.

This time's entrance assessment, coincidentally, he had been selected to oversee and protect these disciples.

But unexpectedly, he ran into such a situation.

Therefore, he decisively struck out to ambush Ye Yuan.

As he spoke, Chiba's momentum grew even stronger. Bai Li Qingyan's cultivation had greatly improved, but she was still too weak in front of Chiba.

Ye Yuan's expression darkened, and he planned to have Wuchen make a move.

That evil spirit was now Ye Yuan's trump card. In this unfamiliar sect, Ye Yuan did not want to expose himself too early, so he had not acted yet.

As long as Wuchen made a move, killing Chiba would be no problem.

But if that happened, he would have no backup plan left.

The strength of the Flying Flower and Cloud Sword factions was certainly far more than this.

Once they knew his trump card, it would be much easier for them to plot against him.

Now it seemed he had no choice but to act.

Suddenly, his mind stirred, and he made Wuchen retreat again.

"If Bai Li can't do it, what about me?"

A woman in form-fitting attire slowly stepped out of the void, causing Chiba's expression to freeze.

The moment this woman appeared, he knew he couldn't kill Ye Yuan today.

Her appearance was not as good as Bai Li Qingyan's, but she also had an extraordinary aura.

Her form-fitting attire added a touch of heroic spirit, and in terms of momentum, she was in no way inferior to Chiba.

"Jiang Xueyan, I have no intention of touching Bai Li Qingyan. Step aside. The person I want to kill is that brat!" Chiba pointed at Ye Yuan, who was behind Bai Li Qingyan.

Jiang Xueyan looked at Ye Yuan with slight curiosity and said indifferently, "The person Bai Li wants to protect is the person our Yaochi Sect wants to protect. If you want to kill him, you'll have to get past me first!"

"You! Jiang Xueyan, are you declaring war on our Flying Flower Faction?"

Jiang Xueyan curled her lips and said disdainfully, "What if I am? As if our Yaochi Faction is afraid of you!"

Chiba's face turned green with anger. This woman was notoriously difficult to deal with. He wondered why she had shown up here today.

And on top of that, Bai Li Qingyan had inexplicably insisted on protecting Ye Yuan.

How frustrating!

Seeing Chiba silent, Jiang Xueyan sneered, "Chiba, don't forget your identity! The sect sent you here to protect these assessment disciples, not to kill them! What do you think would happen if I reported this to the sect? Would the Enforcement Hall come after you?"

Chiba stared at Jiang Xueyan, grinding his teeth in hatred, and said, "You're ruthless! Kid, you're lucky today. Next time, you won't be so fortunate."

Within Shadow Moon Sect, the various factions were locked in severe conflict.

Although Ye Yuan was exceptionally talented, it was too easy to get rid of him.

In any case, he would not give Ye Yuan a chance to grow.

Ye Yuan showed no weakness and gritted his teeth, saying, "You've got it backwards. Next time, you won't be so lucky!"

Chiba was taken aback, then laughed, "Haha, fine then. I'll be waiting for next time! Han Lin, let's go!"

After Chiba left, Jiang Xueyan's expression darkened, and she said coldly, "What are you all standing around for? Leave the Heavenly Demon Crystals and get lost!"

The disciples of the Demon Elephant Faction dared not linger and scrambled away in panic.

After everyone had left, Bai Li Qingyan's face lit up with joy. Like a little girl meeting her elder sister, she tugged at Jiang Xueyan and said, "Senior Sister, you came just in time. Otherwise, this guy would have been done for."

But Jiang Xueyan's expression turned cold, and she said, "You girl, are you crazy? Throwing away your life for a man?"

Bai Li Qingyan's pretty face flushed, and she retorted, "Senior Sister, what are you talking about? He... he's just my companion."

Ye Yuan also clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Jiang, for saving me! Senior Sister, you've misunderstood. Miss Bai Li and I are only teaming up for this assessment, nothing more."

Hearing this, Bai Li Qingyan felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.

This guy really had no sense of romance.

Jiang Xueyan's pretty face turned cold, and she said sharply, "Good, that's for the best! Kid, don't say I didn't warn you. Stay away from Bai Li. Otherwise, you'll die a miserable death!"
