Nine Astra Skies

With three flying swords wielded at once, the surrounding area over hundreds of meters was enveloped in terrifying sword energy. The ten or so Mystique Rank experts from the Sand Beast Clan could not help but take a few steps back from the sheer pressure. They were bowled over.

“Sheesh, what formidable spirit artifacts! These three swords are definitely above Tier Eight, maybe even Tier Nine!”

“Is this a sword array? What overbearing ferocity!”

Around the Celestial Ice Sword, the air had been frozen into ice and frost. Near the Searing Sun Sword, flames raged and danced. The Storm Sword was shrouded in gentle Water-type Celestial Chi. There was a subtle connection between all three longswords. They floated around Ye Chen and a murderous aura instantly locked Sha Nantian and the rest in place.

Any one of these swords would be a truly impressive treasure. Even the top ten sects of the Central Empire would have used a flying sword like this to rule the faction. However, Ye Chen had taken out no fewer than three!

Even scarier was that these three swords of such extreme quality had been used to construct a sword array!

Even those standing a hundred meters away could feel the vicious force rolling outward. Their faces helplessly turned pale and they stepped back dozens of meters.

Currently, Sha Nantian and the rest were even worse off, under the direct pressure of the sword array’s brutal power. It was difficult to even take a step and their eyes were bulging with fear.

Who was this fellow? He had such a fearsome sword array!

Sha Nantian had experienced life and death on the battlefield before. He stubbornly resisted the murderous aura of the sword array and looked up to glare at Ye Chen. In a low voice, he said, “Buddy, the Daemon Kings of the Sand Beast Clan are nearby. If you put down these three weapons, my Sand Beast Clan wouldn’t pursue the matter. If not, once the Daemon Kings of the Sand Beast Clan arrives, buddy, you can forget about staying alive!”

“Reckless idiot!” Ye Chen scoffed coldly. “So, what if the Daemon Kings of your Sand Beast Clan arrive? You want me to put down these swords – what wishful thinking! What I want to find out is whether you can handle them!”

The sword array’s vicious force locked upon the members of the Sand Beast Clan.

“You dare to offend my Sand Beast Clan. My Sand Beast Clan will not let you get away alive!” Sha Nantian shot a poisonous glare at Ye Chen. When he saw that Ye Chen still had not attacked, a smirk flitted over his lips. “If you dare to kill us, you’re dead meat! My Sand Beast Clan will not allow you to walk out of the Soul Pagoda!” Sha Nantian was a ferocious man, unafraid of dying.

When the crowd witnessed this, they burst into a heated discussion.

“The Sand Beast Clan is one of the most troublesome tribes with an ancient bloodline. If this guy kills them, there would surely be great trouble.”

“The Sand Beast Clan has plenty of expert fighters. Plus, the five Daemon Kings of the Sand Beast Clan are just around here. Perhaps they’re already observing from some corner!”

“Most people really can’t afford to offend the Sand Beast Clan. I think he can only admit his ill-fortune!”

“It’s good enough that he can preserve his life. Without this sword array, his corpse would’ve gone cold by now!”

Sha Nantian and the rest had predicted that Ye Chen would not dare kill them.

Just then, two Psyches extended over. One of the Psyches condensed into an enormous yellow beast in the sky. He was rather like a large bear, except his body was composed entirely of sand. From time to time, sand-like stuff would cascade off his frame.

The bear-like Psyche gave a deep, low roar. The booming voice from his throat was like thunder crashing from the skies.

“My friend, the Sand Beast Clan has no quarrel with Your Excellency. Please allow my subordinates to leave!” the Sand Beast said in a low voice, fixing his stare on Ye Chen. Ye Chen had used three Tier Nine spirit artifact longswords to construct a Ternary Sword Array, which was enough to fight against Daemon Kings. Thus, this Sand Beast did not attack directly.

“These guys tried to kill and rob me. How should this debt be settled?” Ye Chen looked up and huffed, his cold gaze burning into the massive Sand Beast materialized from Psyche.
