CHAPTER 272: CHAPTER 252: THE ME OF YESTERDAY CANNOT BE PURSUED, THE ME OF TODAY CANNOT BE RIVALED!

At this moment.

Ye Liancheng and his two companions stood in mid-air, their faces showing relaxed smiles.

Clearly, they had long anticipated this scene.

In the distance, countless observing prodigies couldn’t help but exchange glances, their faces filled with grave expressions.

"Not good, Chen Zhixing’s abilities, I bet Ye Liancheng and the others have already thoroughly researched them!"

"The most powerful abilities Chen Zhixing has exhibited so far are strength, Sword Dao, and Divine Sense. As for the rest, his physical body and gravity can still crush ordinary prodigies, but against opponents of this caliber, it’s absolutely impossible for him to defeat them with just physical body and gravity alone!

Yet Ye Liancheng and the other two have pointed out all three of his major attacking methods, I’m afraid they were already prepared!"

"The alliance of the three top prodigies, coupled with their calculated strategies and the resource support from the Sikong family, makes it extremely difficult to win!"

"Has Chen Zhixing... reached the end of his rope?"

"Could it be that today, Chen Zhixing’s undefeated legend is really going to be broken?"

For a moment.

Countless watching prodigies in the distance collectively took a deep breath, holding their breath as they intensely watched outside the Sword Palace.

At the same time.

Outside the Immortal Suspended Mountain, a clamor arose.

Countless cultivators from all over the land turned their heads, their gazes uniformly fixed on the golden carriage, suspended in the void and pulled by the Nine-headed True Dragon.

"The Sikong family is so ruthless!"

"What a grand display by the Sikong family! Not only did they invite four of the world’s top prodigies to the Ancient Land Mini World against Chen Zhixing, but they also custom-made dharma treasures targeting Chen Zhixing for Ye Liancheng and his companions!"

"Such a vindictive Sikong family!"

"The Ziwei Chen Family... underestimated the enemy!"

In an instant, the faces of many cultivators from around the land showed cautious expressions as they looked at the golden carriage.

Inside that golden carriage.

Sikong Xuanji let his purple hair flow freely, gently turning the emerald thumb ring on his finger.

Sensing the cautious glances, Sikong Xuanji’s lips curled into a faint smile.

This was exactly the effect he wanted!

This time they spared no expense to kill Chen Zhixing, not only to avenge Sikong Nan but also to serve as an example, using Chen Zhixing’s life to tell the entire East Profound Domain.

The Sikong family cannot be bullied, nor insulted!

Even if you are a prodigy backed by two top Taoist sects, if the Sikong family wants you dead, no one can save you!

"If Chen Zhixing dies in the Ancient Land Mini World, the Ziwei Chen Family is probably going to go mad."

Sikong Xuanji played with the emerald green thumb ring, looking with interest at the large ship adorned with the Ziwei Flower totem.

"Let them go mad, the Ziwei Chen Family alone, with just Chen Daoyan, can’t stir up much trouble."

Shaking his head, Sikong Xuanji nonchalantly looked up again, his gaze returning to the profound light mirror.

...

...

Behind the Immortal Sect in the Daluo Taoist Lands.

"It seems my luck is good, I don’t need your people to take action."

The hazy silhouette withdrew its gaze, looking down at the purple-gold-crowned man on the throne with a smile.

"Do you really think that Chen Zhixing is bound to lose?"

The man with the purple gold crown looked up, smiling enigmatically.

"Why? Chen Zhixing, whose three most potent moves have already been researched and countered, do you think he can still turn the tables?" the hazy silhouette countered.

The purple-gold-crowned man heard this, smiled without speaking, but calmly said off-topic:

"Watch closely, a person who can comprehend the Great Tao of Life and Death in the True Self Realm, how could he be defeated so easily?"

...

...

Behind the Immortal Sect, in the Celestial Saint Palace.

An old white-haired woman stood in the void, her three thousand white hairs touched by wind and frost.

"Qingyue, it seems the palace might need to reassess the evaluation of your brother and lower it a bit."

The white-haired old woman gently rubbed her brow and said:

"A strong person not only needs extraordinary strength but also the ability to assess risks effectively."

"Knowing that the Sikong family has a vendetta against him, he shouldn’t have taken such risks and should have prepared in advance, avoiding the predicament he’s in now."

Mo Qingyue, who had regained her stunning appearance, stood slightly behind the white-haired old woman.

"I also think it’s time to reassess."

Mo Qingyue smiled slightly, revealing a pair of white teeth.

"Because the previous evaluation of Chen Zhixing was too low!"

"Watch closely, the reason he didn’t prepare in advance is not out of arrogance, but because..."

"He is already powerful enough to disregard the methods of the Sikong family!"

...

...

"Xuanyue!"

"Great Yuan Divine-Breaking Slash!"

"Heaven and Earth Reversed!"

In the high sky, the three of Ye Liancheng once again joined forces to attack Chen Zhixing.

"Ox Demon Shattering Heaven!"

"Zhen!!"

Chen Zhixing’s physical body and Divine Sense moved in unison, and as he punched towards the three of Ye Liancheng separately, the terrifying Divine Sense in his Sea of Consciousness instantly transformed into a massive golden hammer, smashing fiercely towards their Sea of Consciousness!

Poof.

However, the moment that Divine Sense entered the Sea of Consciousness of the three of Ye Liancheng, it was instantly swallowed up silently like a clay ox entering the sea.

At the same time, his terrifying fist, capable of making stars explode and tearing the world apart, was almost ninety percent neutralized the instant it struck the three of them!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The three of Ye Liancheng simultaneously flew backwards, and Chen Zhixing also had three small wounds on his body.

"Hahaha, Chen Zhixing, it seems you really have run out of tricks!"

Ye Liancheng panted slightly, but his handsome face was alight with excitement.

Although from the current situation, it seemed that Chen Zhixing still held the advantage, able to suppress the three of them.

But he understood in his heart.

As long as Chen Zhixing couldn’t efficiently execute a killing blow on them, then under their continuous onslaught, just by wearing him down, they could finish him today right here!

"Chen Zhixing, you’re destined to meet your end today, your life extinguished, your Tao vanished! Your era will be concluded by the three of us!"

"Proclaim the end, you are doomed to certain death!"

Shen San’s lips curled into a cold smile, casually tossing the short halberd in his hand and twirling it.

In front of the Sword Palace.

"It seems you really have studied me thoroughly."

Chen Zhixing shook his head and asked with some sentiment: "It must have been hard for you, spending quite an effort to understand me and today’s situation, right?"

"Of course."

Ye Liancheng chuckled and said: "You may not know, for this battle today, we have rehearsed over a thousand times. Just this suit of battle armor on us, each one costs nearly tens of millions of Spirit Stones! And this ring capable of resisting Divine Sense attacks is even more expensive!"

After a pause, Ye Liancheng took out a Jade Pendant from his waist again and gently shook it:

"To be honest, there’s also this ancient jade specifically made to defend against your Flying Immortal Sword, crafted by none other than the Patriarch of the Sikong family himself!"

Ye Liancheng then calmly smiled and said:

"Chen Zhixing, I must say, even if you die here today, it’s enough for you to feel proud."

Clap, clap, clap.

Chen Zhixing started clapping.

"Truly commendable, sparing no effort and using every possible means to kill me."

The admiration showed in Chen Zhixing’s eyes, and he didn’t feel that Ye Liancheng or the Sikong family behind them had done anything despicable or improper.

To begin with, they were mortal enemies, and he was a prodigy with limitless potential. If it were him, he would also spare no cost to strangle such a threat in its infancy.

He only felt a bit of regret.

"It’s a pity you forgot one thing, times change, and people change too."

Chen Zhixing spread open his hands and slowly closed his eyes.

Behind him, his dense black hair, as dark as ink, floated upwards without wind.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

Around him, flame lotuses blossomed in mid-air.

The temperature between heaven and earth began to rise abruptly!

On the ground, green smoke rose, turning the surface into a scorching hot expanse!

The air temperature began to rise rapidly, intermittently producing cracking explosive sounds.

The thousand-zhang sky transformed into a sea of fire!

"Your so-called exhaustive research and painstaking effort, at the end of the day, are merely chasing the shadows I left yesterday."

"How then could it be a match for me today?"

Chen Zhixing’s narrow eyes suddenly opened wide.

Boom——!

In his pupils, two black flame lotuses suddenly danced to life!!
