Chapter 98: Arrow of the Nine Hades

Ye Chen's expression became solemn as he gazed at the woman who seemed like a fairy.

Since his rebirth, this was the first time he had felt a sense of danger, and it was coming from a young girl.

"You're strong, but I'm afraid it's not enough to stop me." After a long silence, Ye Chen spoke seriously.

"You can try." The woman's voice remained calm, and her arrow trembled lightly, as if it could pierce the air at any moment.

"You're very confident," Ye Chen remarked.

"So are you," the woman responded.

"Then let's give it a try," Ye Chen said.

Swish!

Swish!

The conversation between the two was concise, but as soon as the words fell, two bursts of wind sounded almost simultaneously, and both decisively took action.

The woman released her finger, and the arrow flew like a meteor across the sky, fleeting and illuminating the ancient road.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen's figure also disappeared in an instant, but even so, the arrow still grazed past him, as if it could pierce his heart with just a fraction of a second.

Boom!

In the next moment, the two clashed in one place.

Although the woman used a bow and arrow and seemed inexperienced in close combat, she was not at all inferior to Ye Chen in their collision. In fact, she seemed to have the upper hand, displaying exceptional skill and strength with each move.

In just a few breaths, the two exchanged dozens of moves at a speed that was unimaginable.

"Bang!"

With a resounding sound, Ye Chen was forced to retreat.

He was actually pushed back.

"Yuan Meridian Stage, you're actually at the Yuan Meridian Stage!" Ye Chen stabilized his figure, his pupils filled with unprecedented shock.

After a round of battle, he finally saw through the woman's strength: she was actually a Yuan Meridian Stage expert, and like him, her combat power was extraordinary. Every move she made seemed to turn decay into magic.

However, what shocked Ye Chen the most was not the woman's strength, but the rules of cultivation she followed.

In this lower realm, someone actually cultivated Yuan Qi, mastered complete Taoist heritage, and at such a young age, reached the Yuan Meridian Stage.

How was this possible?

This shouldn't exist.

Could she also be from the Immortal Martial World, like him, a reincarnator?

"Who are you exactly?" Ye Chen asked again.

This time, his question came from a completely different mindset.

He was exceptionally powerful because he cultivated complete Taoist heritage and had been an Immortal Emperor in his previous life, effortlessly turning decay into magic.

But this woman, why did she cultivate complete Taoist heritage and possess such extraordinary combat skills?

What was her identity?

"You should leave immediately, or I won't hold back any longer," the woman said calmly, and from her words, one could tell that she had yet to exert her full strength in their battle.

It was somewhat terrifying.

"Then let's see if you can stop me," Ye Chen said, his fighting spirit rising. Meeting someone who cultivated complete Taoist heritage in this lower realm was rare, and he was eager for a battle.

He unleashed the Wind and Cloud Steps to the fullest, his figure like a fleeting shadow, and the Heavenly Wind Palm suddenly appeared, carrying ancient vigor, striking at the woman.

The woman was sent flying, but she was unharmed and quickly strung her bow, drawing it to full moon, and the arrow shot out like lightning.

Ye Chen immediately retreated, unable to avoid it completely. He used both palms to deflect the arrow, but the terrifying shockwave made his arms tremble.

Yet, Ye Chen was not injured. He charged forward again, engaging the woman in battle once more.

Their fight was like a flickering wind, with only remnants of their figures visible, but terrifying shockwaves continued to surge.

Watching from the side, Wu Qingsnow was stunned.

The battle between Ye Chen and the woman was so thrilling and awe-inspiring, shaking the hearts of those who witnessed it.

She considered herself extraordinary, with formidable combat prowess and a higher realm than Ye Chen, but if she were to fight against the woman, she feared she wouldn't be able to withstand the woman's arrows.

Both of these individuals were too powerful, seemingly perfecting every aspect of combat and strength.

It made Wu Qingsnow feel helpless.

With these two, who would dare to claim to be the most outstanding in the Canglan Continent?

Perhaps all the geniuses would pale in comparison.

"You can't break through," the woman's voice echoed as they fought.

"You can't stop me," was Ye Chen's response.

Neither of them backed down, and the battle became more terrifying and intense.

But both knew that in this fight, someone had to emerge victorious.

"Let's settle this with one arrow," the woman said solemnly after another round of skirmishes.

"As you wish," Ye Chen replied, retreating and staring at her.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for this woman.

Perhaps it was because she also cultivated complete Taoist heritage, giving him a sense of familiarity. Moreover, her almost perfect combat skills and decisive fighting style were enough to earn respect.

"The Arrow of the Nine Hades, the arrival of the Grim Reaper, daring to turn the stars into hell."

Swish!

Suddenly, the woman softly murmured, and the arrow shot through the air. The aura of life and death swept over, making Ye Chen incredibly solemn.

"Limitless Stars!"

Ye Chen waved his palm, and the entire ancient road shimmered with endless brilliance, as if it turned into the vast sky full of stars.

Two terrifying forces collided, sending out endless waves of destruction.

Both knew that this collision would determine the outcome.

"The waves of destruction are so terrifying!"

Meanwhile, in the Divine Palace of the Illusory Pill Saint, Zhang Bufan, having killed many geniuses and obtained the ancient scroll inheritance, intended to enter the ancient road to escape the pursuit of other geniuses and continue seeking opportunities.

However, the terrifying fluctuations ahead filled him with fear.

He dared not continue deeper and immediately retreated towards the ruins.

With danger ahead and geniuses behind wanting to snatch the ancient scroll from him, staying longer would only bring more danger.

Having obtained the inheritance of the Illusory Pill Saint was already a great opportunity, and he couldn't afford to be greedy.

"Zhang Bufan, leave it to me."

Golden Cicada, Silver Beheader, and the few remaining geniuses also dared not venture deeper. They continued to pursue Zhang Bufan, determined to seize the ancient scroll inheritance of the Illusory Pill Saint.
