Chapter 305: One Step Kills Ten People

No one expected Yun Che to make the first move! He actually acted... and his action meant he would face this terrifying Burning Heaven Clan force alone, with no room for retreat.

This force, consisting of over two thousand elite members, even within the Burning Heaven Clan, was invincible. Let alone a mere youth, even a first-rate sect in the Azure Wind Empire (excluding the Four Major Sects) would have no chance of resisting them!

Yun Che's actions could no longer be called arrogance or madness... they were utter lunacy!

"Be careful, Junior Brother Yun!"Although Cang Yue was accustomed to Yun Che's various astonishing deeds, this time, Yun Che still frightened her so much that her heart nearly leapt from her chest... This time, he wasn't facing Fen Juecheng alone, but a massive Burning Heaven Clan force! Among them were eight super-experts in the Sky Profound Realm!

Cang Wanhe also turned pale with fright. Seeing Yun Che return alive filled him with joy, and he absolutely did not want him to perish here. He urgently ordered, "Dongfang Xiu, stop him quickly! I will do everything to protect him; he must not die here!"

Dongfang Xiu, however, made no move. He calmly watched Yun Che and said, "This situation is beyond my ability to stop. Your Majesty need not worry too much; let's observe what happens. I refuse to believe that a prodigy who, at seventeen, could claim the top spot in the ranking tournament without sect backing, would make such a foolish move to put himself in a death trap. Perhaps he has a plan of his own."

"Get out of my way!!"A loud roar shook everyone's ears. Facing dozens of converging fire dragons, Yun Che neither dodged nor avoided, allowing the vast crimson flames to scorch him. He swung his Overlord's Colossal Sword, delivering a furious strike forward.

Boom!!With a colossal roar, the ground was violently torn apart. Sand and rocks erupted dozens of feet high like a fountain. The dozen or so Burning Heaven Clan experts who were besieging Yun Che all screamed in agony and were sent flying far backward. The flames swirling around Yun Che were also torn apart and quickly dissipated.

"Wh-what?!""Th-this... how is this possible!"

This scene caused everyone to turn pale with shock... Rumors about Yun Che were known nationwide, and his strength was naturally familiar to all. Sixteen months ago, when he claimed first place in the ranking tournament, his profound strength was at the tenth level of the True Profound Realm, yet he thrillingly defeated Xia Qingyue, who was in the Earth Profound Realm. This showed that his combat power in his peak state could rival the early stages of the Earth Profound Realm. And the thirteen people who had just attacked him were all Earth Profound Realm experts!Yet, Yun Che had repelled them all with a single strike!

No!It wasn't just repulsion. None of the Burning Heaven Clan disciples who were knocked back could stand up upon landing... Their chests had clearly burst open with massive sprays of blood!

One sword strike, critically wounding over a dozen Earth Profound Realm experts!Just one strike, in a single encounter!!

Everyone was stunned. Even Cang Wanhe, the emperor, experienced a drastic contraction of his pupils, and Qin Wushang, who knew Yun Che's original strength well, was so shocked he could barely believe his eyes.

Yun Che's strength had been greatly exaggerated in various rumors. But at this moment, the Yun Che people were witnessing was infinitely stronger than the rumors suggested! Critically wounding over a dozen Earth Profound Realm experts with one blow indicated combat power equivalent to at least the mid-stage Sky Profound Realm!

The Burning Heaven Clan members were utterly startled. Fen Juecheng's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; his formerly calm expression instantly turned to panic, and he slowly began to retreat, muttering unconsciously, "Impossible... This is impossible..."

"It seems Yun Che's strength is even more exaggerated than the rumors suggest," Fen Duancang said, appearing beside Fen Juecheng with a slight frown. "To possess such power at such a young age is simply incredible! No one in our Burning Heaven Clan can compare. He truly has the right to be arrogant... If he were to conceal himself and wait until his power fully matured, he would be a formidable enemy. But to jump out and act so wildly in front of us with just this level of strength is utterly ignorant and foolish."

"Third Uncle, are you going to act?" Seeing Fen Duancang beside him, all of Fen Juecheng's panic instantly vanished.

"I disdain to strike a junior. He must know what he's doing. From his demeanor, it seems he's targeting you. My current mission is to protect you, so even if he manages to break through, he won't lay a finger on you," Fen Duancang said calmly.

Fen Duancang was right; Yun Che would naturally not be naive enough to think he could truly deal with the terrifying Burning Heaven Clan. He could barely hope to defeat Fen Moran and Fen Duancang alone, both of whom were in the late Sky Profound Realm. His target was Fen Juecheng... As the future sect master of the Burning Heaven Clan, capturing him alone would be entirely sufficient!

However, capturing Fen Juecheng under such heavy protection was, in the eyes of everyone present, utterly impossible.

Yun Che pressed forward, heading directly towards Fen Juecheng's position. Everyone blocking his path was an expert, but they could not have imagined the level Yun Che's strength had reached, nor could they comprehend the terrifying and domineering power of the heavy sword in his hand.

"Hmph!"Yun Che swept his heavy sword horizontally. With a thunderous roar, over twenty Burning Heaven disciples charging from the front were instantly swept away, screaming as they flew. The suppression from ordinary weapons often only targeted individuals or a few people, but once the suppression of a heavy sword was unleashed, it was unstoppable, even against a thousand troops. Under Yun Che's heavy sword, these Burning Heaven Clan experts were either severely wounded or killed... The Burning Heaven Clan already wanted him dead, so he naturally didn't care about incurring greater enmity with them. He struck without mercy, and before the Burning Heaven Clan could fully react, dozens of their disciples had already perished under his furious sword might.

Boom!!Another massive explosion. A dozen or so Burning Heaven disciples approaching from the side were all blasted away before they could get within five zhang. The bodies of the three in the very front were directly torn in half, scattering blood everywhere... This terrifying power caused all the onlookers to turn pale with horror.

"Haaaaa!!"A wave of furious roars erupted from the Burning Heaven Clan's ranks. Over fifty disciples leaped high from behind, dozens of crimson Burning Heaven Blades raining down on Yun Che from above. Around him, dense ranks of Burning Heaven disciples swarmed forward, forming an iron-tight siege. A massive sense of oppression enveloped Yun Che. His face darkened, and he abruptly shimmered with the Star God Broken Shadow, appearing more than twenty zhang high in the sky before anyone could react...

"Get out of my way, all of you!!"Yun Che's figure descended like a meteor. He powerfully brought down his Overlord's Colossal Sword, unleashing "Falling Moon Sinking Star." Destructive power surged downwards, and instantly, nearly a hundred Burning Heaven disciples below were overwhelmed by the utterly furious force, as if a mountain had fallen on them. More than half were directly crushed to the ground... That despair-inducing power mercilessly descended upon them.

Boom!!The earth violently trembled. Several houses on both sides of the street instantly collapsed. Over ten zhang of land was completely ripped up and thrown down, burying the bodies that had been utterly pulverized by the violent force. Those Burning Heaven disciples on the edge of the power's explosion were also struck as if by a heavy hammer, sent flying far away. Behind them, the Burning Heaven Clan disciples who had originally intended to charge forward were all wide-eyed, trembling from head to toe, shaking and afraid to advance.

Although the surrounding spectators were far enough away, many were still knocked to the ground by the terrifying shockwave. They sat there, completely dumbfounded, having entirely forgotten to stand up.

Was this the legendary Yun Che?Were the rumors all false? He was clearly ten... no, a hundred times stronger than the rumors suggested! The terror of his power almost surpassed anything they had ever witnessed in their lives! So many elite experts of the Burning Heaven Clan were, before him, as vulnerable as a swarm of grasshoppers.

A massive pit, over ten zhang wide, appeared around Yun Che's body. His landing point was right in the center of this crater, his Overlord's Colossal Sword plunged deep into the ground. But his pause lasted only a brief instant; he immediately pulled the sword out and transformed into a streak of light, charging towards the Burning Heaven Clan crowd, directly towards Fen Juecheng's position!

Stepping over a large swath of corpses, Yun Che approached another dense group of Burning Heaven disciples. But this time, their steps faltered, their faces clearly showing fear. They couldn't imagine how this young man, who clearly looked under twenty, could possess such terrifying power... And that wasn't even the most crucial point. The most frightening thing was that this terrifyingly powerful individual showed absolutely no mercy in his attacks; every move was a lethal blow! And few of their fellow disciples who fell to his sword remained with an intact corpse.

In this world, how many dared to kill a Burning Heaven Clan disciple? Normally, even during conflicts between transcendent sects, at most, severe injuries would be inflicted. No one would dare to kill and completely sever ties with the other party...

But Yun Che, he was simply like a madman!He was truly wantonly and ferociously slaughtering the Burning Heaven Clan members! And he was killing them in droves!

This situation was completely unexpected by everyone. Even Fen Duancang, who initially hadn't taken it too seriously, dramatically changed his expression upon seeing the piles of corpses.

"At such a young age, to be so ruthless and show no mercy, does he intend to become a mortal enemy of my Burning Heaven Clan?!" Fen Duancang roared, his face filled with rage. "Elders, disregard your status and act now! Otherwise, more of our disciples will die by his hand."

The dozen or so Burning Heaven Clan disciples at the very front gritted their teeth and charged at the rapidly approaching Yun Che. Just then, a furious roar came from above: "You beast, prepare to die!!"

A white-haired elder plunged down from above Yun Che, his hands shaped into claws, his body seething with flames.

"Be careful, Junior Brother Yun!!" Cang Yue cried out in alarm. The person charging towards Yun Che was one of the eight Sky Profound Realm experts in the Burning Heaven Clan's force!

Under the terrifying power of the Sky Profound Realm, the air around Yun Che was frantically churned, then suddenly coiled into an incredibly hot vortex storm. A massive tearing force struck from above, almost ripping him apart.

Under such oppressive aura, Yun Che's expression remained calm, his gaze like cold stars from the netherworld—chilling and formidable. Facing the massive purple flame storm, he slammed his Overlord's Colossal Sword into it.

Bang!!With an explosive sound, the purple flame storm, several zhang high, was directly cut in half by the Overlord's Colossal Sword, then vanished without a trace in an instant.

"Wh-what!?" The Sky Profound Realm elder had assumed that a casual strike from him would be enough to defeat Yun Che. Unexpectedly, his attack, which used eighty percent of his power, was effortlessly obliterated by Yun Che. He stared wide-eyed, his mind a blank, completely unable to accept what his eyes were showing him.

"Playing with fire in front of me?" Yun Che sneered, his brows furrowed. "You're asking for death!!"

Behind him, a dangerous aura rapidly approached; Fen Moran had already charged over in a fit of rage. Yun Che did not turn around. He coldly smiled at the surrounding Burning Heaven Clan disciples who were attempting to attack. With a flick of his Overlord's Colossal Sword, a massive fire lotus wildly bloomed, centered on his body...

"Burning Star God Lotus!!"
