'Ah!'

A pained cry suddenly rang out.

Yang Che saw Zhou Qingruo spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. Her ice and snow defense had been shattered by the five-patterned Star Beast's palm.

Then, her petite figure crashed heavily to the ground.

Yang Che's gaze was cold, and he made no move.

It was just that Zhou Qingruo had suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of the five-patterned Star Beast, which surprised him greatly.

Xu Haijing, after a moment of shock, immediately pointed at Yang Che and roared furiously, "It's you? Yang Che!"

As the words 'Yang Che' left his mouth, they immediately seemed to possess an incredibly magical power.

Suddenly, many Cultivators present and those hiding in the shadows all revealed expressions of immense shock, some even bordering on absurdity.

In particular, the Lingxia Palace Dao Companion Cultivators hiding in the distance, who were constantly peering over, couldn't help but exchange glances, revealing strange expressions.

However, more Sect Disciple from other Immortal Country in the Mist Hidden Realm were utterly bewildered, not knowing why this newly appointed 'Commander Xu' would react so excessively to a Foundation Establishment Stage Early Phase Cultivator.

The moment Yang Che heard Xu Haijing call out his name, he had already activated the Flash Cloud Boots' teleportation Divine Ability, appearing like a ghost in front of Chen Liansheng and Elder Liu Xiao, who were still utterly stunned.

In a flash of lightning.

Chen Liansheng, as the Deputy Valley Master of Wulong Valley, was even more cunning.

He directly crushed a strange spiritual talisman, while fiercely pushing the equally astonished and furious Elder Liu Xiao in front of Yang Che.

With a 'whoosh'.

A brilliant sword light streaked across.

Elder Liu Xiao's head was severed by Yang Che's 'Sword Four' Ancient Treasure.

Yang Che then showed no hesitation, his face expressionless, as he once again used teleportation, immediately chasing after the white-robed Old Man Chen Liansheng.

Sword Four Ancient Treasure swung down with a slash.

A soft 'ding' sound.

Sword Four's sword light was actually blocked.

Yang Che's eyes narrowed slightly, discovering that Chen Liansheng's body was emitting circles of strange white light.

It was this white light that blocked Sword Four's slash.

"An Array Talisman?"

Yang Che immediately realized that Chen Liansheng must have activated an 'Array Talisman', forming a strange Restriction defense.

During the fifty years in the Space Rift's golden small grid, besides refining the golden blood, Yang Che had been studying Formation and Restriction with Tianxie Ziyin.

Therefore, he had learned a lot of knowledge about Formation and Restriction.

"Hmph."

Yang Che snorted coldly, suddenly striking a strange hand seal on Sword Four, then swung his sword again.

With a 'crack'.

Cracks appeared in the white light.

"Impossible!"

Chen Liansheng was greatly alarmed, revealing a look of shock.

He truly couldn't believe that his 'Six Ding Jia Formation', activated by this high-grade Array Talisman, had actually been cracked by Yang Che.

In that instant, Chen Liansheng was horrified to remember that Elder Liu Xiao, who had the same cultivation as him, had just had his head severed by a single sword from this person.

"Who exactly are you? You can't possibly be Yang Che."

The Yang Che Chen Liansheng knew was the Disciple with Mutated Dual Immortal Roots, rumored to be absolutely incapable of Foundation Establishment.

Yet, this person in front of him was clearly at the Foundation Establishment Early Phase cultivation.

However, although this person was only at the Foundation Establishment Early Phase, the strength he displayed made even him, a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage peak Cultivator, feel immense fear.

Chen Liansheng's back felt a chill.

If this person in front of him truly was the Yang Che he knew...

He dared not think further.

Mutated Dual Immortal Roots actually succeeded in Foundation Establishment?

What a tremendous temptation this was for those Old Ancestor whose cultivation had been stuck at the Bottleneck for countless years!

"I cannot die, this Old Ancestor absolutely cannot die here. I must escape this Boundary Battlefield and bring the news of this child, who possesses Mutated Dual Immortal Roots yet successfully achieved Foundation Establishment, back to the Sect's Old Ancestor."

In an instant, Chen Liansheng had already made his decision.

Escape.

Chen Liansheng had no intention of fighting Yang Che any further; he only wanted to find a hidden place to conceal himself and quietly wait for the one-year period to arrive, then be automatically teleported out of this Boundary Battlefield.

Yang Che's face was expressionless as he swung his sword again.

'Crack!'

Another clear sound.

The cracks in the white light around Chen Liansheng's body widened again.

However, at this moment, Chen Liansheng suddenly took out another strange spiritual talisman and instantly crushed it.

A blinding yellow light flashed, and Chen Liansheng actually vanished into thin air?

"Teleportation Array Talisman?"

Yang Che immediately unleashed his Divine Sense without reservation.

But just then, the five-patterned Star Beast had already bypassed Xu Haijing and charged straight towards Yang Che.

This was also intentional on Xu Haijing's part.

He used the crimson broken bottle Ancient Treasure in his hand to once again emit red light, protecting himself and Zhou Qingruo.

The red light released by this Ancient Treasure broken bottle was very strange; almost all Star Beasts were extremely wary of it, and even the five-patterned Star Beast was no exception.

Seeing the five-patterned Star Beast charging, Yang Che's eyes were cold. He did not use any defensive Spell or defensive Magical Artifact, but simply circulated Extreme Power throughout his entire body.

'Bang!'

A loud sound.

Yang Che was struck fiercely by the five-patterned Star Beast's sharp claws.

This scene, witnessed by the Cultivators hiding in the shadows nearby and secretly observing the battle, led them to believe that Yang Che would surely be shattered by this five-patterned Star Beast.

However, the next scene made them widen their eyes, as if they had witnessed something utterly impossible.

Yang Che's entire body shot out like an arrow, instantly rebounding towards the ground.

At this moment, Yang Che felt as if an incredibly heavy mountain had slammed down on his head.

With a 'rumble'.

Yang Che tumbled a few times in mid-air, then landed steadily.

On the ground, beneath his feet, a large pit had appeared.

However, Yang Che was completely unharmed; apart from a slight surge of Qi and blood within his body, his Physical Body was unscathed.

Perceiving that his Physical Body could now fully withstand the five-patterned Star Beast's attack, Yang Che no longer had any reservations. He raised Sword Four and fiercely slashed at the five-patterned Star Beast.

Yang Che had once, by surprise, used this Sword Four to sever the head of that Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator from Jiang Huo City, so Yang Che believed that Sword Four could definitely also shatter this five-patterned Star Beast.

However, when the sword light struck the five-patterned Star Beast's body, countless starry sparks erupted, and besides severing a few scale crystals from the Star Beast's body, it failed to shatter the five-patterned Star Beast.

Yang Che was somewhat surprised by the hardness of the five-patterned Star Beast's body.

At the same time, he realized that being able to sever the head of that Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator from Jiang Huo City back then was mostly due to 'surprise'.

That Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator, with unequal information and carelessness, was only able to have his head severed by him with the aid of the Spirit-Level Ancient Blood Corpse.

While Yang Che was feeling somewhat annoyed about not being able to shatter the five-patterned Star Beast's body, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.

Especially Zhou Qingruo, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, fully focused on healing her injuries.

At this moment, her heart was filled with self-mockery.

She felt that she had once again underestimated Yang Che.

It turned out that he hadn't moved before, letting the five-patterned Star Beast grab him, not because he hadn't reacted, but because he was completely confident and capable of directly withstanding the terrifying five-patterned Star Beast's attack.

Yang Che had grown stronger.

It seemed that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't catch up to his pace.

Beside them, Xu Haijing's expression was incredibly grim.

He had originally believed that his fortunate acquisition of the Ancient Treasure crimson broken bottle meant he was blessed with great Luck, a true favored child of heaven.

Furthermore, his clan uncle, Xu Dongyuan, in order to ensure his safety in the Boundary Battlefield, had even lent him the centipede Spirit Beast, which possessed strength comparable to a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator.

Xu Haijing was confident that no one in this Boundary Battlefield could surpass him.

But at this moment, seeing the strength Yang Che displayed, and the way Zhou Qingruo looked at Yang Che...

Coupled with the widespread rumor within the Sect that the Seven Peaks Old Ancestor intended to propose to the Four Peaks Old Ancestor for Zhou Qingruo and Yang Che to become Dao Companion, this deeply stimulated Xu Haijing.

He felt an uncontrollable fire of jealousy within him, almost burning him to the point of losing his sanity.

"Everyone from the Mist Hidden Realm, listen! This Yang Che, originally a Cultivator of the Mist Hidden Realm, has publicly and cruelly slaughtered people of our Mist Hidden Realm. He is truly a disgrace to our generation of Cultivators. Now, in my capacity as Commander, I order all Cultivators of the Mist Hidden Realm to besiege and kill Yang Che. Whoever can kill Yang Che will be rewarded with an Ancient Treasure!"

As Xu Haijing's words fell, those Cultivators from the Mist Hidden Realm who were not from Jiang Country immediately revealed expressions of excitement and fanaticism.
