Chapter 51: Nie Chen Returns

Youming Sect was surrounded by a sea of beasts, like a tidal wave, that had been summoned by another Sect.

Although these beasts did not pose a significant threat to the disciples of Youming Sect, the true terror lay in the beastmen hidden among them.

After undergoing beastification, each person’s strength had increased to a terrifying level.

Coupled with the endless stream of beasts, Youming Sect, which was surrounded, seemed to have no chance of winning.

In the air, a thin, short, red-haired, and pig-like old man with a cruel smile watched Youming Sect below.

“Qi Wang, killing your disciples is the duty of the Star Palace’s holy envoy. If you have the ability, go and trouble Empress Qingyue, what’s the point of coming to Youming Sect?” Meng Yangqiu scolded the old man.

“I have two disciples who died here, so I have to find you. If not, their deaths would be too pitiful.” Qi Wang’s mouth curled up with a sly smile.

“Nonsense!” Meng Yangqiu was furious: “With your bloodthirsty and cold nature, would you really go to great lengths for the sake of two people? You’re just coveting the inheritance of our Youming Sect’s ancestor, and finding an excuse to do so!”

Qi Wang did not respond, but instead, stretched out his withered arm, like a dry branch, and waved it downwards.

Instantly, the beasts surged forward like a tidal wave, especially the beastmen created by magic, who let out a frenzied roar and charged towards Youming Sect without regard for their lives.

Youming Sect’s defensive array was very strong, but once it came into contact with the beasts, it would quickly disintegrate.

However, the endless stream of beasts continued to collide with the defensive array, slowly weakening it.

Meng Yangqiu’s eyes widened in shock as a chill ran down his spine.

He had thought that these beasts were useless, but now he realized that the old man had not intended to use them as a fighting force, but rather to use their flesh and blood to weaken Youming Sect’s defensive array.

At this moment, under the continuous impact, although most of the beasts had been reduced to blood and water, the light on the defensive array had gradually dimmed and become unstable.

Facing this suicidal impact, even the ancestral magic left behind by the sect’s founder had lost its effectiveness.

Meng Yangqiu was so angry that his teeth were chattering.

The Wan Xie Sect was willing to sacrifice half of its disciples to permanently transform into beastmen, just to put Youming Sect to death.

The sound of roaring and screaming filled the air as the beastmen, who were several times larger than ordinary humans, with sharp claws and teeth, and terrifying physical strength, easily killed the disciples of the Youming Sect.

The ground was covered in blood and flesh as the beastmen swept through, leaving a trail of destruction behind them.

Fear and despair spread rapidly among the disciples of the Youming Sect.

Those who had previously sworn to defend the sect to the death were now completely frightened and tried to escape in all directions.

However, they were surrounded by beastmen on all sides, and there was no way to escape.

Meng Yangqiu could only grit his teeth in anger and frustration.

Qi Wang was a hundred-year-old ancestor of Wan Xie Sect, who had reached the peak of the Opening Profound Realm through beastification.

Although the beastmen were not as strong as Qi Wang, each one was comparable to a long-time elder of Youming Sect.

Without killing Qi Wang, the beastmen would have an endless supply of power.

It seemed that Youming Sect would be destroyed today.

Just as all hope seemed lost, someone pointed to the sky and shouted excitedly:

“Nie Chen is back!”

Instantly, everyone’s eyes turned to the sky, and when they saw the figure of Nie Chen, they erupted into a frenzy of cheers.

“Nie Chen is back, we might be saved!”

“Yes, after all, Nie Chen has entered the Heavenly Cloud Palace!”

The disciples were like people who had been given a second chance at life.

However, Meng Yangqiu and several elders looked at each other with worry.

They knew that Nie Chen had come alone, without any reinforcements from the Heavenly Cloud Palace.

It was impossible for him to defeat Qi Wang, who had reached the peak of the Opening Profound Realm.

Not only would Youming Sect be destroyed, but Nie Chen would also likely die.

Qi Wang, who was controlling the beastmen, suddenly noticed Nie Chen and his eyes flashed with anger:

“Take one more step, and you’ll die!”

Nie Chen smiled and took a step forward, coming face to face with Qi Wang:

“I heard you’re a beastman? Why don’t we compare our strength?”

Qi Wang was enraged and his hand turned into a sharp claw, swiping downwards.

Nie Chen caught Qi Wang’s hand, and with a smile, said:

“Haven’t you heard of arm wrestling? I haven’t had a chance to play with anyone, so why don’t we give it a try?”

Qi Wang’s eyes widened in shock as he felt a surge of fear.

He tried to mobilize all his strength to resist, but Nie Chen’s power was too great.

The sound of bones cracking filled the air as Qi Wang’s arms were broken.

Nie Chen’s hand then landed on Qi Wang’s head, and with a loud bang, his skull was crushed.
