CHAPTER 699: CHAPTER 698 FOR GLORY (2/5)

Yang Chen was quite surprised by the Fifth Elder’s speed as well.

The five Elders were evidently ranked by their cultivation, with the Fifth Elder being the weakest. Yang Chen didn’t feel the overwhelming cultivation from the Fifth Elder as he did from the Second Elder, but the Fifth Elder’s speed was indeed the fastest.

However, even this level of speed was still slightly lacking for Yang Chen.

At the moment when he and the Fifth Elder separated, the Palace Master rushed up, wielding a short staff that he swung fiercely at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen snorted coldly, quickly engaging in combat with the Palace Master.

This short staff looked like it was made of wood, but when it clashed with the Yunlai Dagger, sparks flew, producing a sound like metal clashing, indicating its extremely hard material.

Nevertheless, in terms of strength, speed, and technique, the Palace Master was far inferior to the previous opponents.

At a certain moment, Yang Chen saw an opening, flicked away the Palace Master’s short staff with one move, and kicked him fiercely in the stomach, sending him flying.

Just then, the sound of a whistling wind came, and Yang Chen quickly dodged.

A whip brushed past the tip of Yang Chen’s nose!

At this moment, the Fifth Elder charged forward again, wielding twin forks with dazzling speed.

Yang Chen snorted coldly, entangling with the Fifth Elder in combat.

...

On the other side, Ye Xin was embroiled in a fight with two Palace Masters.

One of the Palace Masters said to Ye Xin, "Saintess, don’t be so stubborn, come back to the sect with us!"

"Never!" Ye Xin shot out a palm strike, replying coldly.

Another kick swept across, and Ye Xin snorted coldly, retreating explosively.

That person said, "Saintess, you are infatuated with this man, but the sect is your true home. Return to the sect to be the Saintess, and you will have supreme power!"

Ye Xin shook her head, looking at the two with a pitiful expression, "You don’t understand love at all. If I lose Yang Chen, what does it matter if I have the whole world?"

Hearing this, the two couldn’t help but be infuriated, replying coldly, "Saintess! If you remain stubborn, don’t blame us for being rude!"

One of them said, "Don’t compare us to trash like Kun Bai, don’t force us to use our full strength!"

Ye Xin sneered, a scarlet light rising in her eyes, exuding a scorching aura, her palms faintly glowing red, "So what if you are at the Foundation Establishment Stage? Do you really think you can defeat me?"

Her trump card had not been revealed yet!

Seeing the change in Ye Xin, the two of them couldn’t help but look serious, exchanged glances, and charged at Ye Xin from both sides simultaneously.

Ye Xin let out a cry, meeting them head-on, with her palms striking out simultaneously!

The two also clashed palms with Ye Xin.

Bang!

A wave of air, with the three as the center, spread out in all directions, sweeping up layers of leaves and even stirring a small whirlwind.

The clash was quick, and the separation just as fast.

Ye Xin retreated two steps, as did the two Palace Masters.

The two Palace Masters stared at Ye Xin with serious expressions, full of shock.

Ye Xin, on the other hand, remained calm, her cold eyes fixed on the two of them.

She was facing the two of them alone, yet not at a disadvantage in the slightest!

It must be noted that Ye Xin was only at the Transcendence stage!

The two exchanged glances, full of shock.

"Truly worthy of being the woman who carries the hope of the sect’s revival! Such extraordinary talent, what a monstrous genius!" The two exclaimed in amazement.

...

Elsewhere.

Under the command of the Inner Sect stewards, the Inner Sect disciples dispersed in all directions, forming an encirclement around the Dragon Tooth Squad.

"Take action!" Night Fire ordered.

The Dragon Tooth Squad took their positions, with the weapons in their hands spitting out tongues of fire, shooting towards the Shangqing Sect Inner Sect disciples.

The speed of the bullets was very fast, and the movement of the Inner Sect disciples was also fast, but the Dragon Tooth Squad’s ability to move and aim was even faster, able to lock onto the enemy’s next position in advance!

Blood splattered, screams echoed, and splinters flew.

The Inner Sect disciples, after all, were flesh and blood. It hurt when hit by bullets, and they bled when wounded!

However, as Inner Sect disciples, they were not as powerless as the Outer Sect disciples.

Many used throwing knives to counter the Dragon Tooth Squad.

Don’t underestimate these knives; when thrown with cultivation by Inner Sect disciples, their power was astonishing.

Therefore, while shooting, the Dragon Tooth Squad also had to constantly conceal themselves to avoid injury.

The Inner Sect disciples also used the forest landscape, hiding behind trees and rocks.

There were many of them, gradually tightening the encirclement.

By this time, the Dragon Tooth Squad’s ammunition was depleted!

After running out of ammunition, they discarded their firearms and drew their daggers!

"Brothers!" Sword Edge drew a dagger, eyes shining with ferocity, roaring, "For the Dragon King!"

The others also drew their daggers, filled with fighting spirit, "For the Dragon King!"

"For glory!" Night Fire’s eyes were bloodshot, staring at the Inner Sect disciples.

"For glory!" The members of the Dragon Tooth Squad faced the numerous Inner Sect disciples without a trace of fear, appearing even more excited.

Because... ever since Yang Chen left, they had not fought alongside Yang Chen again!

Because... ever since Yang Chen left, they had not faced an enemy so much stronger than themselves!

Because... this is what they longed for!

The Dragon Tooth Squad’s blood was boiling, trained for many years for nothing less than this kind of battle!

At this moment, they were ready to spill their blood on this land.

Although not for the country and people, for Yang Chen, it was worth it!

"Brothers! Kill!" Sword Edge and Night Fire roared simultaneously.

"Kill!"

The Dragon Tooth Squad roared with a clanging fighting spirit, charging at the Inner Sect disciples.

A strong momentum seemed to coalesce into substance, like a dragon charging towards the Inner Sect disciples.

These Inner Sect disciples, raised within the sect, would not have experienced real combat if not for the sect’s internal duels, let alone such a wild battlefield!

Impacted by the Dragon Tooth Squad’s tangible killing intent, they already felt a desire to retreat.

Fortunately, an Inner Sect steward was present, controlling the situation, shouting, "Listen up, disciples of the Shangqing Sect, the enemy is out of ammunition! They are not your opponents, charge and kill them!"

With this shout, the Inner Sect disciples regained their fighting spirit.

Yes! They were the pride of the heavens, selected from among the thirteen billion people of Flame Country. They practiced powerful cultivation techniques, transcending mortality!

If it weren’t for those hot weapons, how could these people be their match!

Now, let them taste true power!

"Charge!"

"Kill them!"

"Show them the might of our Shangqing Sect!"

The Inner Sect disciples charged at the Dragon Tooth Squad like madmen, shouting furiously.

At this moment, in a certain corner, a figure emerged from behind a rock, carrying a weapon tube, and fired fiercely towards the Inner Sect disciples.

Whoosh!

Seeing a trail of fire coming, Sword Edge immediately shouted, "Be careful!"

The members of the Dragon Tooth Squad hurriedly dodged upon seeing this.

The red light plunged directly into the midst of the Inner Sect disciples!

Boom!

Fire surged, soil and rocks flew, flames soared into the sky, and thick smoke billowed!
