But Lin Hong had already begun to lose heart. Yuan Ye's strength was now overwhelming him, and continuing to fight like this would bring no benefit to himself. However, as the mighty Martial Emperor, he couldn't let someone who wasn't even a Martial Emperor chase him away in defeat, nor could he accept the shame of being unable to avenge his wife's death.

  Yuan Yong suddenly kicked again with three feet, Lin Hongqiang supported his body and resisted with all his might. Although he blocked this fierce attack, Lin Hong was already in a very bad state, his face turned pale, and his chest and abdomen were violently fluctuating.

  "Lin Hong, maybe in swordsmanship, you're stronger than me as an old emperor of martial arts, but if it's a hard fight with physical defense, you'll definitely lose." Yuan Ye sneered coldly and suddenly exerted himself to charge forward, punching, kicking, head-butting, elbow-striking, knee-hitting, and engaging in all sorts of close-range frenzied fighting.

  Yuan Ye's muscles and bones are enough to rival those of a low-grade sacred artifact, which is equivalent to Yuan Ye's entire body transforming into a low-grade sacred artifact to strike Lin Hong. How could Lin Hong possibly withstand it?

  "Hmm"

  Lin Hong finally couldn't bear it anymore, spitting out a big mouthful of blood, his face deathly pale, his legs feeling weak and floating, almost falling to the ground.

  "Lin Hong, I'll let you kill this little lord." Yuan Ye roared loudly and threw another punch that came crashing down.

  Just then, a powerful force suddenly appeared, and the martial artists surrounding Yuan Wei were shaken by this vast and mighty power, retreating quickly to a distance. The turbulent energy fluctuations left Yuan Wei unprepared, and he hastily raised his left fist to strike with all his might.

  Boom

  A deafening crash shook the sky and earth, Yuan Ye's body flew out directly, and then fell to the ground.

  The person who launched a sneak attack also spat out a mouthful of blood, and it was precisely Jiang Yuanfeng.

  "Too strong!" Jiang Yuanfeng exclaimed in his heart, terrified. His long-planned move had been met with a hasty response from Yuan Ye, but he himself felt a shockwave through his internal organs. Jiang Yuanfeng clearly sensed that the current Yuan Ye was no match for Lin Hong, and was already beyond his ability to handle.

  "Damn it, dare to ambush me!" Yu Wei, who was knocked to the ground, angrily slapped the ground with a loud noise, and then rebounded with force, rushing towards Jiang Yuanfeng. With his left hand full of energy, a golden light palm quickly grabbed at Jiang Yuanfeng.

  Jiang Yuanfeng hastily retreated, but to his horror, he discovered that his speed was no match for Yuan Ye's. The golden light palm enveloped him in an instant. Jiang Yuanfeng rushed forward, trying to break through the golden light palm, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge it by a single inch.

  "Boom!" Jiang Yuanfeng was suddenly knocked flying by Yuan Ye. As he flew backwards, Yuan Ye took another step forward, and a dazzling sword light appeared out of nowhere, heading straight for Jiang Yuanfeng's chest.

  "Drink!" Just then, Lin Hong rushed up from the side, spinning around, his knife flashing like a rainbow, sweeping horizontally. The unmatched knife edge instantly slashed in front of Yuan Ye.

  Boom

  After the sword and the aura of the knife clashed, a burst of thunder-like light flashed in mid-air, shining brightly like ten suns illuminating the sky, and the entire forest was bathed in daylight.

  Yuan Ye's violent energy center retreated several steps, while Lin Hong retreated and threw his war knife to the ground, continuously sliding back. A long, deep ditch appeared on the ground, with sparks flying everywhere. Lin Hong's mouth was bleeding, his face even paler, Yuan Ye's close combat had shattered all his bones, this time their confrontation left him even more severely injured.

  "Lin Hong, big brother, how can you be so disappointing!" Lin Hong took a sword for Jiang Yuanfang, but Jiang Yuanfang looked at him with disdain.

  "Let's just say it's chilly, we're in this together. Whatever you do, don't get close to him or we'll both be dead." Lin Hong steadied himself and glared fiercely at Yuan Ye.

  "Haha, you know I'm not to be trifled with now, but unfortunately, you've already crossed me!" Yuan Ye raised his sword and struck again, the dazzling light illuminating the night sky once more. Lin Hong and Jiang Yuanfeng exchanged a glance before charging towards Yuan Ye, and the three great martial emperors clashed in this stormy night.

  Rumble

  The earth shook violently, and the mountains flew sand and rocks. The entire ground was cut off by a layer of soil about one foot thick, as if this area had sunk. The earth was shaking violently, and a huge crack appeared under the feet of the three people, extending far away. The unmatched knife edge and sword energy collided and exploded, releasing a terrifying storm of energy that ravaged the entire mountain range. The stones on the ruins instantly turned into fine sand, and Yuan Ye, Lin Hong, and Jiang Yuanfeng all spat out blood uncontrollably.

  "Boom", "boom", "boom"......?

  The deafening sound continued unabated, the sword and knife edges flashing like lightning tearing through the air. Illuminating the night sky, they crisscrossed in mid-air, instantly killing over a dozen of the warriors surrounding Yuan Ye with their sword and knife edges. The three great masters were fighting with all their might, engaging in a life-and-death struggle, each person not holding back, displaying their most skilled techniques. The intense battle was extremely brutal, trees fell, the ground cracked, the killing intent reached the heavens, the sword and knife edges making even the lightning in the sky pale in comparison. As the three continued to move, countless warriors surrounding Yuan Ye were killed by the shockwaves, yet the remaining warriors still tightly surrounded Yuan Ye, even though they were in the most dangerous location.

  "The First Sword of Sealing Demons - Shaoyang!"

  Yuan Ye let out a loud roar, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light. The long sword in his hand chopped down towards the two great masters with an unstoppable force. A four-zhang-long golden sword aura accompanied this unmatched strike, and its violent power simultaneously erupted in all directions.

  Yuan Ye's current strength has greatly increased, and the power of Death Seven Feet, Shao Yang Sword, and Yuan Shen Sword have all been greatly enhanced. At this moment, Jiang Yuanfeng and Lin Hong both shouted loudly with all their might to meet the attack.

  A deafening thunderclap shook the heavens, a black lightning bolt tore through the void, flash after flash of lightning, peal after peal of thunder, illuminated the night sky, Jiang Yuanfeng and Lin Hong were forced to retreat five big steps by Yuan Bi.

  They joined forces and weren't even a match for Yuan Ye!

  "Jiang Yuanfeng, let's take a step back. A gentleman seeks revenge in ten years' time." Lin Hong had already sounded the retreat at this moment.

  "I have a better way." Jiang Yuanfeng's mouth suddenly curved into a smile.

  "What?" Lin Hong turned his head back, and suddenly felt a chill in his chest. A gleaming sword had pierced through his heart.

  "Bastard, ah~~~" Lin Hong bellowed, slamming a palm into Jiang Yuanfeng's chest, sending him flying. Jiang Yuanfeng's sharp sword was also pulled out of Lin Hong's chest, leaving a trail of blood behind. With his heart pierced, Lin Chong gazed at Jiang Yuanfeng with boundless resentment, "Why...?"

  "Why?" Jiang Yuanfeng sneered, "You said it yourself, anyone related to your wife's death will die. If you're going to kill me, I'll naturally take the initiative and strike first."

  "I... am not willing... heart..." Lin Hong resentfully finally fell to the ground with a thud.

  This sudden change made Yuan Ye somewhat unaccustomed, and even the warriors surrounding him had not reacted yet.

  "What's going on here? I haven't lost yet and you're already taking matters into your own hands!" Yuan Ye said with a gloomy face.

  "Hmph, since joining forces can't defeat you, there's no use keeping him around." As Jiang Yuancheng spoke, he did something even more bizarre and sheathed his own sword, seemingly unwilling to continue fighting. However, Yuan Ye clearly wouldn't let him off so easily.

  "Yuan Ye, I advise you to surrender."

  "My god, you're not dreaming, are you?" Yuan Ye took a sudden step forward, his intimidating aura reaching its limit.
