"Battle Saint King!"
A cold voice abruptly echoed through the wine house, but even faster was the radiance that erupted from the black-robed figure.
It was a cold light, a sword light!
The sword light was icy and merciless, and it was fast to the extreme, so fast that ordinary people could hardly react. That sword appeared with a *shua* sound, stabbing towards the space between the eyebrows of Ye Chen, who sat opposite.
A sure-kill sword!
Moreover, a sure-kill sword impossible to react to!
Countless people in the wine house had not yet reacted when this sword was thrust.
Perhaps no one could have imagined that someone who was chatting and laughing merrily one moment would draw a sharp sword and reveal a killing move the next.
*Hum—*
The sharp sword was merciless, sweeping forth with cold light.
A single sword's cold radiance shook the surroundings!
But that was all!
Under this sword, it could absolutely slay a Super Great Power. Even an Eightfold Great Power would find it difficult to react, and it could also threaten a peak Great Power at the early Ninth Heaven.
*Pfft—*
The sharp sword pierced into the space between Ye Chen's eyebrows, breaking through the skin.
This delighted the black-robed figure, but he soon felt a terrifying resistance, simply unparalleled, as if a wooden sword had struck an iron wall, unable to advance even a fraction further.
The sound of clanging metal reverberated through the wine house.
Ye Chen's figure remained unmoving, his gaze cold as he looked at the black-robed figure before him. Deep within his pupils, a rare killing intent surged forth.
If not for him being the Chaos Saint Body, with a Saint Body stronger than many Divine King Physiques, this sword would have absolutely killed him.
Because it was too fast and too close; even Ye Chen had been somewhat unable to react.
Naturally, this also stemmed from his absolute confidence in his own Chaos Saint Body.
"Ye!"
Beside him, Abenue cried out in alarm.
Seeing this scene, countless people in the wine house abruptly changed color, looking both at Ye Chen and at the black-robed assassin.
"Battle Saint King?"
"The Battle Saint King is here! The one being assassinated is the Battle Saint King!"
"Indeed, it's him. The Battle Saint King has truly come. But someone actually dared to attempt an assassination."
"This person's scheming is too deep. Getting close through conversation, then striking like lightning—all to catch the Battle Saint King off guard."
In the wine house, discussions erupted as everyone focused their attention.
"A pity!"
The black-robed figure, seeing his assassination attempt fail, sighed lightly. Yet he was extremely decisive. His entire person *shua*ed backwards like lightning, vanishing into the void, beginning his escape.
Clearly, this was an extremely skilled assassin. One strike unsuccessful, knowing his purpose was exposed, and facing the Battle Saint King who could slay Divine Kings—he had to retreat.
But at this moment, a cold voice resounded in his mind, causing his expression to abruptly change: "Want to leave? Do you think you can?"
*Shua—*
Fast as lightning, Ye Chen descended before him. The void completely collapsed, yet it was all controlled within a certain range.
Ye Chen was like a heavenly deity, his unparalleled pressure controlling this region, sealing it off, making movement impossible.
Simultaneously, he lightly, almost lazily, slapped out a palm. It seemed slow but was actually fast, striking the black-robed figure.
*Pfft—*
The concealing black robe on the figure completely shattered, revealing his true form—a middle-aged man enveloped in an evil aura.
Clearly, this was a member of the alien race, and an Eightfold Super Great Power at that, extremely powerful.
However, under this single palm strike, even someone as strong as him coughed up blood repeatedly, his aura wilting.
"So it's an alien. I wondered who it was. I didn't expect you to recognize my identity," Ye Chen said.
Though this alien Great Power coughed up blood repeatedly, his expression was still ferocious as he spoke to Ye Chen: "Battle Saint King, you cannot escape. Since you dare to appear in the Ascension Ancient Capital, you will face endless pursuit from the universe of our realm, a fight to the death."
"Is that so?" Ye Chen said indifferently, as if he didn't care in the slightest. "Let them come. Mere aliens, when have I ever feared them!"
As his words fell, he slapped his palm onto the alien Great Power's head. With a *pfft*, it exploded like ten thousand peach blossoms, his divine soul extinguished, completely dead.
Then the Chaos Great Cauldron emerged, taking it away.
Within, Chaos Dao Fire blazed, refining several Super Great Power Pills.
"Let's go!"
Ye Chen said. Abenue followed, and the two quickly departed.
This was not a place to linger. Moreover, he knew that news of his appearance in the Ascension Ancient Capital would soon spread.
A battle that could hardly be considered truly begun had already ended.
The alien Super Great Power was powerful, at the Eighth Heaven, capable of sweeping through anyone in the wine house—a super powerhouse and a super assassin.
But facing the Battle Saint King, who was notoriously terrifying beyond measure, he was killed with a single strike, utterly powerless to resist.
The Battle Saint King truly seemed to possess the power to slay Divine Kings.
Without a doubt, news of Ye Chen's appearance in the Ascension Ancient Capital this time would spread rapidly.
Indeed, not long after, the Ascension Ancient Capital was in turmoil. A piece of news quickly spread—
The Battle Saint King has appeared in the Ascension Ancient Capital!
An alien Eightfold Great Power discovered his traces and attempted assassination with lightning speed, but failed to succeed. Instead, he was killed by the Battle Saint King.
Easily and effortlessly, a single strike ensured death!
This was the evaluation of the Battle Saint King.
A dignified Super Great Power of the Eighth Heaven actually could not last three moves against the Battle Saint King—and it was a completely overwhelming two moves.
The first move was considered by all to be merely for probing the opponent's true identity. The second was the true killing move.
And in fact, it proved to be so.
In a real battle, the alien Eightfold Great Power was not a match for even a single move from the Battle Saint King.
Originally, due to the Imperial Son Feast, the Ascension Ancient Capital had gathered numerous imperial clans, Immortal Clans, Emperor Sons and Daughters, and immortal descendants, along with countless king clans and top-tier major forces coming to watch the spectacle. This had already made the Ascension Ancient Capital, one of the Seven Great Ancient Capitals, seethe with undercurrents.
Now, the Battle Saint King's appearance in the Ascension Ancient Capital was undoubtedly like adding fuel to the fire, making the undercurrents even more turbulent.
All eyes were upon him.
Almost all the attention of the Emperor Sons and Daughters and immortal descendants was captured, converging on the Battle Saint King alone.
All of this was because, during this period, the Battle Saint King had continuously achieved glorious battle records, rising like a brilliant imperial star, attracting the world's attention.
Who could compare to such dazzling brilliance?
On this day, powerhouses from the three alien emperor clans—the Maha Imperial Clan, the Bolo Imperial Clan, and the Futu Imperial Clan—appeared together in that wine house, seeking traces of the Battle Saint King and offering extremely rich rewards.
Other alien emperor clans also responded one after another.
The other six imperial clans and Immortal Clans that had participated in the struggle for the emperor's legacy in the Reverse Slaughter Emperor Realm—the Life Imperial Clan, the Sun-Shooting Immortal Clan, the Hua Imperial Dynasty—also appeared, placing bounties on the Battle Saint King's traces, similarly with intent to target him.
For a time, a heated wave swept through the entire Ascension Ancient Capital.
The heavy rewards offered by numerous imperial clans and Immortal Clans could not be ignored by anyone.
However, after that day when he killed the alien Super Great Power, the Battle Saint King's traces vanished. No clues could be found in the Ascension Ancient Capital, as if he had evaporated from the mortal world.
His disappearance was too thorough. Even with the intelligence capabilities of the imperial clans and Immortal Clans, they could not find him.
