Chapter 854: Encounter An Ambush

Chapter 854: Encounter An Ambush

Ye Xiwen’s figure quickly flew by mid-air, causing a series of sea waves to splash. On the endless sea, Ye Xiwen’s speed was impressive. His flying height was neither high nor low. Staying too low might render him easily ambushed by the sea beast while staying too high made him vulnerable to the beast in the sky.

With beasts everywhere, only this height would be a little safer.

Even in the True Martial Domain, the sea region was still the most challenging place to set foot. When True Martial School was in its heyday, it was already difficult to conquer places like this.

The situation worsened in this endless sea region at the Ancient Barrens continent.

The salty sea breeze carrying blood scent rushed towards him. I wonder where the source is.

The wind whipped Ye Xiwen’s clothes. He morphed himself into a cluster of light as he navigated forward. Above this boundless sea region, he only needed to be careful and avoid those stormy regions. There was nothing in particular.

“Ye Xiwen, now you only need to consolidate your cultivation for some time before tackling the Transcendent Realm ascension!” said Ye Mo.

Ye Xiwen nodded. He finally understood a little bit about how the Transcendent Realm masters under the age of five hundred years old emerged in the Ancient Barrens continent.

When he was at True Martial Domain, he was relatively young. Even Huang Wuji was already over a thousand years old when he entered the Transcendent Realm.

For Ye Xiwen, he was just above a hundred years old now while not reaching two hundred years old. In True Martial Domain, he was shocking to the world. However, in this Ancient Barrens continent, he seemed ordinary. Wang Mengyu was only around one hundred years old. Truth to be told, she was even younger than Ye Xiwen.

Originally, he was amazed by this place. Now, he felt nothing. It was pretty standard. In such a short period when he came to Ancient Barrens, his cultivation already attained a breakthrough.

Although the Star Beast’s vital energy and blood essence took a role in it, the most important thing was that this world’s environment was much more optimum.

It was as if someone who had been living in Jupiter suddenly ran to the moon, thus becoming a superman all of a sudden.

Similarly, this also meant that there would be many young experts in the Ancient Barrens continent. Thinking of this, Ye Xiwen’s blood was boiling. It fit his initial reason. He came to the Ancient Barrens continent because he had no opponent in the True Martial Domain.

He had a Sea Region Map in his hand – the same map that Wang Family had inherited for many years. The map was marked out clearly, preventing Ye Xiwen from getting lost.

Although he could explore the path with his spiritual sense, the scope of his spiritual sense was still inadequate, especially in this boundless sea region. He would be like a blind man.

“Ye Xiwen, a beast has been tailing you!” Ye Mo suddenly alerted.

Ye Xiwen immediately investigated it with his spiritual sense. Sure enough, less than a hundred miles behind, there was a crocodile beast continuously swimming toward his direction. It was a black crocodile beast that was several tens of meters long. The black scales glowed faintly in the sea. Its sharp claws and vicious jaws had declared its status as a formidable predator.

Ye Xiwen sneered. You’re only a Transcendent Realm beast, and yet you dare to put your eyes on me.

“Ye Xiwen, this creature is unlike a wild beast. He keeps tailing you a hundred miles away. While he is not approaching, he already has his eyes on you. According to my years of experience, there must be a master behind, coveting on you!” added Ye Mo.

Ye Xiwen was slightly surprised. Soon, he came to a realization. After arriving at the Ancient Barrens continent, I did not offend many people. The North Mountain Clan is far away in the Ancient Barrens continent. They can’t be here. There is only one possibility – the Wu Family.

No wonder they didn’t make a move during my departure. I thought the Wang Family was a good deterrent, but now it doesn’t seem to be the case.

Nevertheless, Ye Xiwen was unperturbed. Even if Wu Nanjie came personally, Ye Xiwen was confident that he could retreat safely. When he was about to expand his Demon Wings to shake off that crocodile beast’s pursuit, the feedback from his spiritual senses alerted him of an approaching group.

The leading person was not a human being but a sea clan member. Although he was human-like, the scales on his face and the claw-like hands had revealed his identity.

Ye Xiwen learned about the sea clan’s existence for a long time, but he was caught in surprise when seeing their existence first-hand.

These sea clans were the actual ruler of the sea region. Humans only had sovereignty on land. The sea bottom belonged to the sea clans. No one dared to underestimate them.

Besides this particular sea clan member, there were four other experts who were also sea clan members. After these four, Ye Xiwen noticed two acquaintances – Jia Qing and Wu Chenhai.

Ye Xiwen squinted his eyes. Hello there, buddy!

“Hey, Ye Xiwen, I didn’t expect them to be quite enthusiastic, sending you off!” Ye Mo mocked sarcastically.

“Sending me off? Then, I’ll send them off to their last journey!” Ye Xiwen smiled faintly. He initially wanted to throw off this group from his tail. He abandoned that idea while something new popped up in his mind.

In his eyes, it was as if there was the universe getting born and disintegrated later. It was imbued with the unique light of flickering stars. Occasionally, a ray of killing intent flashed in them.

Sure enough, not long after Ye Xiwen stopped, those sea clan masters in addition to Jia Qing and Wu Chenhai arrived.

The Tyrannical Transcendent Realm aura was already quite apparent in a distance. When they saw Ye Xiwen, they encircled Ye Xiwen with their auras.

“Hahaha. Ye Xiwen. Are you scared!?” Seeing Ye Xiwen, Wu Chenhai immediately laughed proudly.

“The shame you instilled on me, I will surely return it a hundred and thousand times, making you feel worse than death!” After Wu Chenhai laughed, his face turned gloomy as if images of Ye Xiwen shaming him surfaced. He had never been humiliated like this in the past. He could not get rid of this hatred if he couldn’t kill Ye Xiwen.

“Feeling something worse than death?” smiled Ye Xiwen faintly.

“Hahaha. Nephew, it’s fine. After your uncle catches him, then you can do whatever you want!” The Vanishing Shadow Poisonous Crocodile expert laughed, grinned, and looked at Ye Xiwen. His ruthless gaze seemingly declared his confidence in taking down Ye Xiwen.

“Hey, brat. This uncle is from the Vanishing Shadow Poisonous Crocodile Clan, E Xiangtian [1]. After you die, don’t remember the wrong name!” The sea clan expert laughed.

“Uncle, stop wasting time talking to this brat. Actually, no matter how many things he knows, he is going to the afterlife anyway. Is there reincarnation in this world? Hahaha!” Wu Chenhai laughed as he deemed Ye Xiwen dead already, which soothed his anxiety.

“That’s right. He is just a dead person!” E Xiangtian laughed aloud. The waves under his feet suddenly separated. A huge beast appeared at everyone’s feet. It was the crocodile tracking Ye Xiwen closely.

“Let’s go together!” E Xiangtian gave an order. Four Vanishing Shadow Poisonous Crocodile experts immediately rushed towards Ye Xiwen. Their terrifying beast-like aura completely swept out.

These four were experts in Transcendent Realm Second Level Peak. They were approaching the Transcendent Realm Third Level. In this case, they were much more oppressive than Jia Qing. They were the Transcendent Realm Second level veterans.

“Boom!” The four sea clan experts approached in an instant. Although they were huge, they were not sluggish at all. They came almost instantly.

Ye Xiwen sneered as he made a move.

“Xiu!”

A golden light burst out from Ye Xiwen’s hand. At an indescribable speed, the light instantly went straight to the throat of the fastest sea clan expert.

“Puff!” The golden light in Ye Xiwen’s hand pierced his throat without any hindrance. Blood sprayed out incessantly like a bloody flower blooming.

With the blood spraying out, all the vitality in his body seemed to be taken away. The body turned cold in an instant.

“Puff!”

The sea clan expert fell directly from mid-air into the sea.

“What!” Another sea clan expert was about to rush to Ye Xiwen’s face. He watched his companion turn into a cold corpse in Ye Xiwen’s hands, but they had already rushed over. At this time, it seemed too late to retreat.

He propelled himself backward in an instant, trying to avoid Ye Xiwen.

“You’re fleeing? Do you think you have the chance?” Ye Xiwen’s cold voice sounded in an instant. Another golden light pierced the vast sky. Another bud of blood blossomed. Although the Crocodile Clan expert was already cautious, his speed was incomparable with Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen caught up without much hindrance.

“Puff!” The sound declared another death. The expert’s body quickly turned cold as he lost his vitality, falling directly from the sky.

“Stop!” E Xiangtian almost broke into tears as he opened his eyes widely. These four experts were his brothers who had followed him for many years. Anyone of their death or injury would hurt deep down in his heart. Worse still, Ye Xiwen defeated two of them in one fell swoop.

He felt as if his heart was about to be torn apart.

Ye Xiwen sneered. Why would he stop just because of E Xiangtian’s words? These enemies came for his life. He wouldn’t give them mercy.

Ye Xiwen’s toes tapped sharply. Another golden light flashed in his hands. His figure suddenly swooped toward the two remaining sea clan experts.
