    "Perhaps it''s you two with the bad luck." Ye Chen said indifferently.


    "Hehe, are all young ones nowadays this arrogant?" Ghost Bear nced at the old man beside him, "Old Zhu, he is not putting us in his eyes at all."


    Old Zhuughed, "Ghost Bear, let''s settle him first, then we''ll settle these treasures. What do you say?"


    "That would be the best. These treasures aren''t going to run away anyways." Ghost Bear smiled densely, with the huge axe in his hand zing up in a raging me. This was a fire attributed mid grade artifact. Steered by Zhen Yuan, it emanated out intense pressure ripples.


    "Die!"


    Stepping out, Ghost Bear fiercely chopped the axe at Ye Chen, the berserk power pushing out the air in its wake.


    ng!


    Ye Chen unsheathed his sword. Sword Light flickered, and the void shook. Ghost Bear could neither advance nor retreat, simply struck numb.


    "My strike was repelled?"


    Ghost Bear''s face was astounded. Although he had merely used eighty percent of his battle power, Ye Chen was merely a mid Astral Reaching realm expert, not even worth a single axe blow.


    "You''re interesting, kid! Receive my move, Hacking Azure River!"


    The axe struck out, as the air surged and rippled like a river, separating in two halves and advancing. An enormous axe light crushed down.


    "In terms of battle strength, you''re merely at par with Cold de. Get lost."


    Holding the Star Scar Sword, Ye Chen counterattacked with a more ferocious stance. Green Lotus Sky''s sword light smashed the axe light and severely struck on Ghost Bear''s protective Zhen Yuan.


    Puff!


    Spurting out a mouthful of blood, Ghost Bear flew back and straightened himself with an appalled face.


    "This kid is troublesome. Old Zhu, let''s join hands and kill him."


    Ghost Bear was truly astounded. As a peak Astral Reaching expert, those who could defeat him could be counted with his fingers. He never imagined himself to be defeated at Ye Chen''s hands. This was simply too outrageous.


    Old Zhu was equivalently astonished. If he were thinking of Ye Chen before as a sheep, at this moment, thetter had ascended to be a fierce wolf like existence.


    "Ripping Heart Cracking Lung w!"


    Old Zhu trod the demonic Dao. His body merely shook once, and dark Zhen Yuan surged like huge, dark serpents. Following his gloved right hand rising up into the air, three dark w beams ripped the air as they shot towards Ye Chen''s vital organs.


    "Green Lotus Qi Transformation!"


    With a sh of his sword, an enormous illusory green lotus appeared before him, which expanded even more and shot out dozen hundreds of sword Qi, destroying Old Zhu''s w beams and further engulfing the two within.


    ng ng ng!


    The sword Qi was too much, as a result of which, Old Zhu was unable to attack Ye Chen anymore. Both his hands repeatedly waved,ying out a w before his body.


    Ghost Bear, on the other hand, was able to make use of his axe. He nted it on the ground and withstood the iing sword Qi by making use of its expanse.


    "Little Demon, I''ll admit that I looked down on you. But now, you''ll die without a doubt. Burn for me!" Making Old Zhu give up on so many artifacts was impossible. The Dark Zhen Yuan inside his body scrapped within itself, producing surging dark mes. With his whole body engulfed in dark mes, Old Zhu pounced at Ye Chen while drawing a dark arc in the air, which was partly real and partly fake, indiscernible from each other.


    "Old Zhu has used Dark Phantom; it would entangle this kid without a doubt. Then, I shall hit a fatal strike." Ghost Bear also decided to burn his Zhen Yuan. With an unknown mysterious technique, his two arms swelled up to be as thick as a water bucket, even bursting out of his clothes.


    "Dark Demonic Suppression!"


    Old Zhu''s short stature elegantly stretched to a normal person''s length, and his two moved like two ropes, entangling Ye Chen. After a few breaths'' time, dark Zhen Yuan chains suddenly appeared all around Ye Chen. These chains were as thick as arms, holding Ye Chen firmly in ce. Above him, from the tip of numerous chains, a dark Zhen Yuan stone tform pushed down.


    "Excellent Zhen Yuan Morphing. It seems to contain two mentalities. One is metal mentality while the other is earth."


    Ye Chen was somewhat astonished. Old Zhu''s appearance was quite clowny, but he was extremely strong. Unfortunately, everything was moot before absolute strength.


    Break! Break! Break!


    Igniting his Green Lotus Zhen Yuan, Ye Chen shouted ''break''. As soon as he shouted for the third time, all the chains surrounding him thoroughly disintegrated, while the tform above cracked all over, exploding with a bang.


    "How is this possible? Such a fast sword!"


    Old Zhu hurriedly retreated. With his eyesight pushed to the extreme, he was barely able to see Ye Chen''s sword striking 7749 times. Every sword strike struck at the weak points of Zhen Yuan shackles and tform. Such an extreme disy of fast mentality left him terrified.


    "Die!"


    At this moment, Ghost Bear came charging through. Taking advantage of the time Ye Chen was breaking Zhen Yuan chains and the tform, his bucket-thick arms chopped the axe down. The axe contained an all-burning fire mentality, while the berserk heat waves turned the tunnel scorching red.


    "As expected, every single one of these peak Astral Reaching experts haveprehended mentalities almost to their limits. Topete them in terms of mentalities, I need to make a much bigger breakthrough." In face of the burning red axe light, Ye Chen still had time to reflect. He had always possessed many advantages; for instance, the sword intent and mentalities. However, ever since he stepped into the Astral Reaching realm, he had encountered nothing but ferocious Astral Reaching realm experts. His advantage of mentalities had been non-existant, and he could only truly rely on sword intent.


    "Slow!"


    Under the influence of the Slow Sword Mentality, which he''d never used before, Ye Chen shed out. The air stilled, and Ghost Bear''s axe light seemed to slow down a lot. It advanced towards Ye Chen a bit, while Ye Chen''s sword light was dazzling like lightning.


    Rumble!


    The tunnel behind Ye Chen melted, while a shallow sword scar appeared on Ghost Bear''s right arm.


    "What? He avoided my killer move?"


    Ghost Bear seemed to have sensed something, which astonished him. After stepping in Astral Reaching realm, mentalities became quite significant. So, the majority focused precisely on them; for example, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and so on… Although one couldprehend illusory mentalities, the difficulty was extremely high. Included within these were fast and slow mentalities. A moment ago, what Ye Chen used was precisely the slow mentality, and it caused a momentarypse in his thoughts.


    "This kid is a freak; he can evenprehend the slow mentality." Ghost Bear and Old Zhu exchanged a nce.


    "Fast!"


    Switching to fast mentality, turbulence in the air increased. A gentle wind blew, shooting out an uncountable number of sword lights, all quick to the extreme.


    The switch from slow to fast was too quick. Their thoughts almost failed to follow through, and they could only defend passively.


    "These two years, I''ve never given up onprehending the speed mentality. In reality, fast and slow mentalities lie in a majority of mentalities, for example, the thunder mentality. It has both fast and slow aspects, and the speed mentality can be derived from it." The sword light drizzled like rain, following which, Ye Chen shot out at a frightening speed like a light ray.


    Creak!


    Old Zhu and Ghost Bear were both injured.
