"The fourth one."

Chen Yu’s voice rang out, like the judgment of the Grim Reaper.

What followed was a chilling silence.

The three members of the Kong Family at the rear dared not even breathe heavily.

The battle scene just now was truly explosive and shocking.

They really hadn’t expected Chen Yu’s strength to be so formidable, killing with such decisiveness, and they had previously opposed such a ruthless individual, as if they had been wandering on the edge of death.

Thinking back, Kong Dongshan and Kong Xiaomu couldn’t help but shiver.

From now on, they must not offend Chen Yu, even trying to curry favor and win him over.

Kong Qiuye, beside them, was both shocked and joyfully excited.

Chen Yu’s strength was very powerful, even stronger than Lin Tianfeng, easily taking care of the enemies pursuing them.

The Black Scorpion King stared at Chen Yu intently, no longer daring to hurl insults.

Now he was the only enemy left here, and cursing Chen Yu would only anger the opponent, leading to a more miserable outcome for himself.

Swish!

The Black Scorpion King suddenly moved, but it was to escape.

He pushed his speed to the limit, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Slash!

Simultaneously, Chen Yu initiated his action, his figure darting out instantly.

The Black Scorpion King felt his body turn cold, his scalp exploding; Chen Yu definitely wouldn’t let him off easily.

"Chen Yu, if you delay awhile longer, once the others arrive, you’ll find it impossible to escape."

The Black Scorpion King hurriedly shouted, hoping Chen Yu would give up.

Actually, it would take a considerable time for the other teams to support.

Because he led the team quite a distance while chasing the Kong Family three.

"Besides, I don’t have the token, dealing with me offers you no advantage."

The Black Scorpion King continued.

"You’re about to die, spouting so much nonsense, what’s the use?"

Chen Yu’s words were calm and indifferent, exuding confidence and assurance.

"You... you are too arrogant. As king, I concede your strength, but thinking you can kill me, that’s quite the wild dream."

The Black Scorpion King roared angrily.

Being pursued by a peak Early-stage Star Condensing genius like Brother Yu was already disgraceful, and the opponent was even proclaiming to kill him.

"Then I’ll show you whether it’s a wild dream."

Chen Yu’s speed burst forth, rapidly closing the distance with the Black Scorpion King.

"Chen Yu, you are too arrogant."

The Black Scorpion King’s face was gloomy, extremely furious.

He gathered elemental force on his fingers, seemingly transforming into a sharp sword, stabbing his body a few times.

Boom!

Black sword light erupted from him, making the Black Scorpion King seem like a black sword himself, thrusting forward at tremendous speed.

As a Sword Cultivator, speed was also his forte.

Faced with the Black Scorpion King exerting full-speed, Chen Yu could no longer close the distance, relying solely on his Star-Form Physique and Space Essence.

But suddenly.

The Black Scorpion King noticed Chen Yu’s speed, inexplicably increasing.

"What’s going on?"

The Black Scorpion King’s heart was startled, filled with doubt.

"Haha, sorry, there’s a temporary breakthrough in Space Essence."

Chen Yu chuckled softly.

The Black Scorpion King felt as if he was struck by lightning, such a rare occurrence as a timely improvement actually happened to Chen Yu at this moment, which was undeniably bad news for the Black Scorpion King.

This was the first time Chen Yu captured him, besides taking him by surprise, it was also due to Space Essence.

Chen Yu’s Space Essence had already reached a very advanced level, and now it had somehow improved further.

Isn’t it said that Space Essence is incredibly difficult to comprehend, and even harder to advance? This has to be nonsense, it’s utterly unjust.

After Chen Yu’s mysterious heart transformation, the comprehension speed of Space Essence increased nearly tenfold.

Using Space Essence itself can deepen the understanding.

During this process, Chen Yu had a breakthrough in essence, very close to the third-tier realm.

Buzz!

The Black Scorpion King felt the world becoming viscous, his movements hindered.

Chen Yu wasn’t lying; it truly was a breakthrough.

Even the Black Scorpion King’s Darkness Essence was suppressed.

"Doesn’t that mean the brat’s Space Essence is already extremely close to the third-tier?"

The Black Scorpion King was incredulous.

Boom!

A massive sound came from behind; Chen Yu’s enormous punch light, like a white sun, was bearing down.

The spatial power’s binding and locking made it hard for the Black Scorpion King to evade; he could only brace himself.

Controlling his mystical weapon, he slashed out a frontal strike.

Boom-poom!

Though the white punch light was split apart, its vast power sent the Scorpion Tail Black Sword flying.

The aftermath of the fist light raised a fierce storm blowing in.

The Black Scorpion King didn’t linger at all, hurriedly trying to escape.

"You can’t escape."

Chen Yu’s icy voice echoed again, another punch descended.

The Black Scorpion King couldn’t evade, and each time he had to stop and fight back.

Boom-pow-pow!

In just a few breaths, they exchanged over ten moves, explosions continually rang out in the sky, black and white entwined storms destroyed everything nearby.

The Black Scorpion King’s blood surged within, feeling unprecedented pressure.

So far, Chen Yu hadn’t even utilized his mystical weapon, just ceaselessly punching, leaving the Black Scorpion King cornered.

The Black Scorpion King discovered he had no retreat!

"Chen Yu, let me go, and I’ll help you persuade them to give up pursuing you, and I will no longer oppose you."

The Black Scorpion King pleaded in a low voice.

How could Chen Yu believe the words of the Black Scorpion King? His fists attacked like a storm, and bursts of explosive fist light blossomed brightly in the void.

Bang bang bang bang!

The Black Scorpion King continuously swung the Scorpion Tail Black Sword, but he couldn’t withstand the overwhelming onslaught.

He was struck by a punch, and although the Scorpion Tail Black Sword weakened a portion of the damage, he still suffered heavy injuries and plummeted straight down, coughing up blood continuously.

The Black Scorpion King’s face was pale, and seeing Chen Yu charging at him, his eyes instantly filled with madness: "Chen Yu, I’ll fight you to the death."

The Black Scorpion King appeared as if he were going to lay down his life.

Ordinary people would keep their distance and respond with caution; a counterattack from a Mid-stage Star Condensation Peak was still very intimidating.

But Chen Yu’s expression remained unchanged, killing intent decisive, as his fists descended.

The Black Scorpion King sprayed a mouthful of fresh blood onto the Scorpion Tail Black Sword, fully activating the profound weapon.

Whoosh boom!

Innumerable black sword lights surrounded, gathering into a massive black sword shadow, spanning hundreds of meters, with an evil black Sword Intent surging forth.

"Sky Scorpion Poison Sword!"

The Black Scorpion King unleashed his pinnacle sword, attempting to deter Chen Yu.

His Yuan power was nearly depleted, and he had no chance of victory if the fight continued.

Facing the deadly sword of the Black Scorpion King, Chen Yu summoned the [Golden Mountain Tower].

The [Golden Mountain Tower] erupted with brilliant golden light, instantly transforming into a towering golden light giant tower, pressing down.

Bang crack!

The sharp and evil black sword light was forcibly crushed by the golden giant tower, and the Scorpion Tail Treasure Sword was also suppressed.

Boom!

The [Golden Mountain Tower] pressed down upon the Black Scorpion King.

"No!"

The Black Scorpion King burned his remaining Yuan power, attempting to flee, yet was bound by Chen Yu’s Space Essence.

In addition to the gravitational suppression of the [Golden Mountain Tower], he couldn’t dodge.

Bang!

The [Golden Mountain Tower] struck the Black Scorpion King, crashing to the ground, leaving a pit hundreds of meters deep, with cracks spreading in all directions.

As a heavy profound weapon, the [Golden Mountain Tower], being struck head-on, fully suppressed the Black Scorpion King, who was undoubtedly doomed.

"Thank you, Brother Chen, for saving my life. Please accept my token."

Kong Dongshan’s voice came out, and he voluntarily handed over his token, hoping Chen Yu would forget his previous mistakes.

Kong Xiaomu and Kong Qiuye were stunned for a moment, then followed suit and handed over their tokens.

Chen Yu hesitated for a few moments; he didn’t lack tokens now, but he still accepted them all.

"Brother Chen, you are incredible. The five of them had no power to fight back and were easily dealt with by you."

Kong Qiuye said with admiration.

She never thought of passing the second test, so she gave her token to Chen Yu and didn’t mind at all.

However, Kong Dongshan and Kong Xiaomu still had thoughts about the tokens, but to make Chen Yu forget past grievances, they had no choice but to do so.

After chatting briefly, Chen Yu prepared to leave.

Earlier, the Black Scorpion King must have sent out a message; perhaps someone was on their way here.

"Brother Chen, don’t walk so fast, wait for us."

Kong Dongshan called out from behind.

Without tokens, it became much harder for them to pass the second test.

But if they could follow Chen Yu, they would be unstoppable and might gain something in return.

Moreover, more time together could help make amends.

"Brother Chen, where are you going? With so many tokens, you will surely enter the Heavenly Martial Sect. Your number of tokens might even rank in the top ten."

Kong Qiuye saw Chen Yu leaving and immediately followed.

"Being with me will bring trouble upon you."

Chen Yu said calmly, not wanting to carry a few burdens with him.

"Brother Chen, you jest; your strength is so great. The Black Scorpion King and the others were all slain by you alone."

"As long as Brother Chen doesn’t mind, let us follow you. We will follow your instructions all the way, helping you break into the top five disciples of this Heavenly Martial Sect!"

Kong Dongshan showed a sincere smile.

"Not interested."

Chen Yu had no strong desire for scores; getting into the Heavenly Martial Sect was enough. He wasn’t bothered to compete for top ten or top five.

After saying that, he left the place.

And the three of them, Kong Dongshan, followed closely, trying to cling to Chen Yu.

If Chen Yu truly didn’t care about scores, that would be a good thing; they could possibly negotiate a trade for the tokens by paying a certain price.

Shortly after they left, three teams arrived at the scene.

One was led by Lin Tianfeng, another had a member at the Mid-stage Star Condensation Peak as well.

The last team consisted of only one person, Sun Tianlong!

"A fierce battle took place here."

Lin Tianfeng said with a grave expression.

"They’re all dead."

Sun Tianlong spoke, eyes glinting with black light, his battle spirit soaring.

The stronger Chen Yu was, the more interesting it became.

"The Yuan power aura here is somewhat chaotic, with at least nearly ten types."

Lin Tianfeng noted after sensing.

"Could it be that Chen Yu found allies? Otherwise, the Black Scorpion King wouldn’t have fallen so quickly; he would surely have held out until we arrived."

The yellow-clothed woman said.

"Do we continue to pursue Chen Yu, considering he allied with others?"

Chen Yu’s own strength was already formidable; the complete defeat of the Black Scorpion King’s squad further disheartened the group.

Upon discovering Chen Yu’s alliances, they gradually developed a desire to retreat.

"Do as you wish; once Sun Tianlong targets something, he doesn’t change."

Sun Tianlong’s lips curled up, and his figure shot forward, leaving a statement behind.
