"I practice the Divine Court Secret Skill, and even if I ascend to a deity, I can still climb rapidly!" Yalina said somewhat proudly.

Actually, all that talk about the Divine Court Secret Skill was just a bluff. The reason Yalina had made such rapid progress was due to Ye Chen's help!

"Naturally, the stronger you are the better, so when we kill Ye Chen, there will be no suspense!" Qianyue Bing said out of the blue.

"Kill Ye Chen!" Yalina's heart trembled at the thought.

Her cultivation had risen drastically, as if she was capable of killing Ye Chen now, but she didn't wish for Ye Chen to die anymore...

Still, Yalina felt frustrated, how should she express it?

Could she tell Qianyue Bing that she didn't want to kill Ye Chen anymore because she had fallen in love with him?

"…"

"Ye Chen hasn't shown his face for the past few days, and I don't know where he's hiding. Your strength has improved, and once I perfect my martial skills, we'll join forces to find him and kill him!" Qianyue Bing said. "I've been restless these days. I won't feel at ease until he's dead!"

Qianyue Bing was somehow constantly preoccupied with Ye Chen, making her suspect she might have become obsessed, and the only way to break the curse was to kill Ye Chen.

"…"

Yalina silently flipped through the ancient texts, her thoughts drifting far away.

Time flew by, and in a blink, seven days had passed.

Ye Chen, Yalina, and Qianyue Bing had been trapped in the cave dwelling for nearly a month, but Emperor Litian showed no signs of emerging.

Qianyue Bing thought Yalina had become lazy because the beautiful knight was always late...

However, Qianyue Bing felt that Yalina was becoming more unfathomable by the day, as the lazy beauty's cultivation speed was somewhat startling.

Ye Chen was still nowhere to be seen. It was as if he had evaporated from the world. Qianyue Bing had searched in some deep mountains and forests but still couldn't find Ye Chen.

One day, Ye Chen went to relieve himself in a small forest and, whether by fate or coincidence, he bumped into Qianyue Bing.

"What have you been doing all these days? Why can't I find you anywhere? Have you been secretly hiding somewhere?" Qianyue Bing asked Ye Chen.

"Do I need to report my whereabouts to you?" Ye Chen responded.

Ye Chen had been with Yalina these past days, but this matter had to remain a secret and could not be revealed.

Moreover, during this period, Ye Chen's cultivation had soared, and he felt as if he was on the verge of ascending to deityhood.

"Heh!" Qianyue Bing let out a light laugh.

"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving." Ye Chen pretended to leave, displaying somewhat of a catch-me-if-you-can attitude.

"Wait!" Qianyue Bing called out.

"What is it?" Ye Chen asked with a puzzled smile.

Actually, even if Qianyue Bing didn't speak, Ye Chen knew her thoughts because Yalina, the insider, was reporting Qianyue Bing's situation to him daily.

Ye Chen had been out of sight for more than ten days. Qianyue Bing had worked hard and mastered the second and third martial skills, increasing her combat strength to an extreme level. Now that her cultivation level had increased, naturally, she wanted to kill Ye Chen for revenge!

"To kill you!" Qianyue Bing said coldly. "Yalina and I have progressed rapidly and now possess the strength to easily crush you. Don't think you can escape this time!"

"You are improving, but I am improving as well. And I have said before, my talent is better than yours, so naturally, my cultivation speed is faster!" Ye Chen said with a hint of arrogance. "So, you still can't kill me now!"

Ye Chen had been diligently training his martial skills during this time, reaching a terrifying level of combat power.

Ye Chen dared not say that he could kill Qianyue Bing in one move, but he was certain that Qianyue Bing couldn't kill him!

"You are just a Ten Dragons Taboo, not yet able to control the power of ghosts and gods, how could you know the invincibility of a Land God!" Qianyue Bing scoffed. "Three hours from now, right here in this small forest, Yalina and I will fight to the death with you!"

"In this small forest?" Ye Chen asked doubtfully.

"Is there a problem?" Qianyue Bing asked.

"No!"

In the end, Qianyue Bing left to call her companion.

Although Qianyue Bing had made significant progress, she still had no confidence in killing Ye Chen alone.

To bombard Ye Chen to death, Qianyue Bing needed help.

"A fight might do some good. I also want to see just how strong I am now!" Ye Chen found a large tree and prepared to take a leak, trying to ease his nervous tension.

But before Ye Chen could finish, Qianyue Bing had returned with Yalina.

"You shameless wretch, how dare you urinate on a tree in broad daylight, under the bright sky!" Qianyue Bing reprimanded Ye Chen, trying to scare him into paralysis.

"Damn, that was fast. Wasn't it supposed to be three hours later!" Ye Chen almost urinated on his leg, realizing that women really don't speak the truth.

"All is fair in war!"

"…"

"Qianyue Bing, let's not waste words with him, just kill him directly!" Yalina said.

Yalina had reconciled with Ye Chen, but Qianyue Bing didn't know that; Yalina still had to put on an act.

After all, they couldn't really kill Ye Chen, so they might as well play along.

"Alright, let's kill him!" Qianyue Bing thought Yalina was sincerely helping her.

"Okay!" Yalina's killing intent was just as intense, although she had forgiven Ye Chen, that incident still left her indignant.

That score had to be settled properly!

"Yalina, beautiful Holy Knight, you've become more powerfully enigmatic. How did you train yourself? Would you mind sharing some tips with me?" Ye Chen asked Yalina with a teasing smile.

Yalina's rapid progress in her cultivation was due to his help, but their relationship had not been exposed.

In front of Qianyue Bing, Ye Chen deliberately asked these questions to embarrass Yalina.

"I..." Indeed, Yalina was dumbfounded.

"Yalina possesses the Divine Court Secret Skill, so it's natural for her cultivation to be exceptionally rapid. What about it, are you scared?" Before Yalina could speak, Qianyue Bing had already started yelling.

"Oh, so that's how it is?" Ye Chen seemed to understand.

"Stop wasting words with him, just quickly slash him to death and be done with it!" Yalina yelled, her holy sword summoning a river of light as she attacked Ye Chen.

Yalina feared that Ye Chen would say too much and expose their relationship, so she hurriedly launched her attack.

"Yalina's killing intent is so intense, it seems she really hates Ye Chen to death!"

Qianyue Bing, unaware of the underlying story, was deceived by the facade, thinking Yalina truly wanted to kill Ye Chen.

"Rumble—"

The clash between Yalina and Ye Chen was powerful, instantly causing a huge disturbance.

"Extreme Shadow Hunt!" Qianyue Bing's figure flickered as she, too, joined the battle, launching an assassination attempt on Ye Chen.

"Damn it, two against one, do you have no shame!" Ye Chen suddenly shouted. "I'm under the Ten Dragons Taboo, and you two are Land Gods. For you to gang up on me like this, where is your integrity as Land Gods!"

Yalina's cultivation was terrifyingly extreme; her holy sword's divine brilliance could crush everything. Qianyue Bing's assassination techniques were unfathomably sophisticated, making them hard to guard against, and the joint attack of the two women made Ye Chen feel extremely pressured.

"What kind of person are you to speak of integrity?" Qianyue Bing said coldly.

"Damn it, not only are you bullying the weak, but you're also ganging up on the fewer in number. Can't we talk this out?" Ye Chen said.

"You shameless villain, you're not qualified to talk reason with us!" Yalina shouted.

"Rumble—"

The ghostly divine power stirred up a frenzy; Ye Chen was sent flying backward, his blood and qi surging.

"You two, your hands are so harsh, are you trying to murder your husband!" Ye Chen screamed.

"Hmph!" Qianyue Bing's attack grew even fiercer.

"Rumble—"

The battle became increasingly intense, with groves of large trees being flattened and the ground sinking from impacts. The collision between the mightiest shattered everything.

"Holy Light Opens the Heavens, Absolute Ground Slash!" Suddenly, Yalina released her killing move, a sword strike that unleashed endless divine radiance, exploding across the sky.

"Damn, Yalina, are you trying to kill me!" Ye Chen, who was clashing with Qianyue Bing, was nearly bisected by Yalina's sudden strike.

"I am going to kill you!" Yalina said, the corners of her mouth tilting slightly.

"You just wait!" Ye Chen said fiercely. "I'll get back at you, making you want to die but unable to!"

"Bastard!" Yalina's heart tightened, knowing the meaning behind Ye Chen's words as soon as he spoke them.

.

"Yalina, Ye Chen will surely die today, don't fear his threats!" Qianyue Bing said.

Ye Chen and Yalina had secretly made amends, and their conversation was full of implications, but Qianyue Bing, naive and adorable, didn't realize it at all.

"Qianyue is right, let's kill him together!" Yalina applauded Qianyue Bing's naivety.

Qianyue Bing was truly seeing red in her pursuit, but Yalina was only pretending to do so, joining in the battle for show.

Ye Chen wanted to use the impact of the ghostly divine power to refine himself further.

"Qianyue Bing, just wait, one of these days, I'll beat you until you're out of temper!" Ye Chen suddenly shouted, Qianyue Bing's relentless attacks finally getting to him.

"You're going to die today, you won't have a chance to turn the tables!" Qianyue Bing said.

"Qianyue is right, Ye Chen, you're going to die today!" Yalina added fuel to the fire.

In fact, Qianyue Bing was slightly weaker and found it hard to press Ye Chen critically.

However, Yalina spared no effort in creating crises for Ye Chen, giving Qianyue Bing opportunities, nearly managing to kill Ye Chen several times.

"I've grown a bit tired today, let's fight another day!" At this point, Ye Chen started thinking of retreating, dodging the two women's attacks with the intent to flee the battle.

This battle gave Ye Chen some insights, and he couldn't bring himself to strike down the two women, so continuing the fight was meaningless.

"Thinking of escaping?" Qianyue Bing's figure concealed, she went all out to hunt down the fleeing Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, you won't escape!" Yalina was also full of killing intent, seeming eager to stop Ye Chen, yet her attacks were all for show, it was clear she was deliberately going easy on him.

Yalina never intended for Ye Chen to die; she spared no effort in creating crises for him merely to give him enough hardening.

"Rumble—"

The pursuit lasted for a long time, and although Qianyue Bing chased after him fiercely, Ye Chen eventually escaped.

"Damn it, he actually escaped!" Qianyue Bing said with an icy expression.

By saying so many shameless things, Ye Chen completely infuriated Qianyue Bing, filling her with endless killing intent toward him!

"In the end, he fled in defeat!" Yalina, on the other hand, seemed to have lightened her mood, truly enjoying putting Ye Chen in his place today.

"Yalina, Ye Chen stole our power, is this really enough?" Qianyue Bing spoke in a chilly tone.

Today, Ye Chen was thoroughly defeated, but was that truly enough?

Qianyue Bing felt it wasn't, because Ye Chen was not dead!
