Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 894 - 1 vs 5
Shock.
The entire crowd instantly plunged into shock.
No one could have imagined that the two infamous Purple Light Assassins, whom even Hua Xuelian couldn't handle, would both perish simultaneously in one strike by Ye Chen's hand!
At this moment, the thirty-five Divine Kings of Qianjue Divine Kingdom were on the verge of ecstatic shouts.
Earlier, they hardly believed that Ye Chen could save them.
Some even resented Ye Chen for not escaping with them, blaming him for dragging them down.
But now, these Divine Kings of Qianjue Divine Kingdom realized that the Ye Chen standing before them was no longer the one ranked fourth on the "Heavenly God List," weaker than Hua Xuelian.
The current Ye Chen appeared to be far, far more powerful than Hua Xuelian!
Hope began to surge within them. Ye Chen might very well become their savior!
Hua Xuelian's shock at this moment was even greater than that of the other Divine Kings.
Having faced off against these Purple Light Assassins himself, he knew better than anyone how terrifying they were. Yet now, Ye Chen had slain two of them in an instant—this felt unreal to Hua Xuelian, like a dream.
Hua Xuelian simply couldn't believe that Ye Chen, whose realm had not even broken through, had a combat power this formidable!
As the Divine Kings of Qianjue Divine Kingdom were reeling from shock and joy, the remaining five Purple Light Assassins on the other side froze with terror.
"What kind of technique is this?"
"What kind of swordsmanship is this? What kind of divine arts?!"
The remaining Purple Light Assassins had never seen such killing techniques from Ye Chen. Yet in an instant, two of them had already perished at his hands.
The rest were utterly stunned.
Even their leader, the bearded man Boss Yao, felt an overwhelming sense of danger in that moment.
Despite his exceptional strength, even Boss Yao could not discern the origins of Ye Chen's killing move nor gauge Ye Chen's limits.
For an instant, Boss Yao even entertained the thought of fleeing.
However, just as this thought arose, Ye Chen's voice cut through the air.
"I need to kill three Purple Light Assassins. I've already killed two. Among the rest of you, who wants to come forward?"
Boss Yao's eyes flickered as Ye Chen's fearless gaze locked onto his own.
At the same time, Ye Chen's piercing gaze swept across the other Purple Light Assassins.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
The remaining Purple Light Assassins, none anywhere near as strong as Boss Yao, were utterly incapable of standing up to Ye Chen.
When they heard Ye Chen's words, none dared step forward—they all turned to Boss Yao for help.
They knew that if Boss Yao abandoned them, they were likely the next ones to fall!
Boss Yao's eyes flickered briefly before directly addressing Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, if we send out one more person for you to kill, will you stop after that?"
Surrender.
Boss Yao's tone suggested that he had no intention of opposing Ye Chen further; he was prepared to offer someone up and reconcile with him.
Boss Yao's words caused the hearts of the remaining four Purple Light Assassins to sink.
But they understood well—being hardened criminals of the Domain of Sin, if the situation were reversed, they too would rather send someone to die than take the risk themselves.
However, now it seemed that the one sent to die might be them, which deeply unsettled them.
Meanwhile, the Divine Kings of Qianjue Divine Kingdom were practically leaping for joy.
Not only had Ye Chen slain two Purple Light Assassins, but now even Boss Yao was considering yielding to him.
If Ye Chen agreed, their survival would be assured!
"Is this the pressure of a true powerhouse?"
"With just one move, he's killed two opponents, and the remaining five are too terrified to fight!"
The Divine Kings of Qianjue Divine Kingdom were now filled with unparalleled admiration and gratitude toward Ye Chen.
Many even hoped Ye Chen would accept Boss Yao's proposal, killing just one more and avoiding any further risks.
However, they saw Ye Chen shake his head after hearing Boss Yao's words.
Ye Chen's gaze fixed directly on Boss Yao as he said, "You want me to kill one person and stop? When did I ever say I'd stop after killing just one?"
"If you had fled as soon as you encountered me, perhaps I would've only slain three of you. But now? I have no such intention!"
No such intention.
The meaning behind Ye Chen's words was clear—even if he slew one more, he would not stop there.
These heinous assassins of the Domain of Sin were mortal enemies of challengers entering the Heavenly God Mountain, their hands stained with the blood of countless challengers.
Not to mention the crimes they committed before entering the Domain of Sin.
Ye Chen had no reason to let them go!
Boss Yao's face twisted in fury. "Ye Chen, are you mocking us?!"
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"
Boss Yao had initially planned to resolve the situation by sacrificing one person, as he couldn't fathom Ye Chen's capabilities and wanted to avoid taking risks.
However, Ye Chen's words solidified his resolve for a decisive battle to the death.
Ye Chen had no intention of stopping.
Thus, the five remaining Purple Light Assassins resolved to surround and kill Ye Chen.
"Let's attack together! Kill him!"

With a wave of his hand, Boss Yao called his four companions to action.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The remaining four immediately unleashed their surging aura and surrounded Ye Chen in formation.
Of the seven Purple Light Assassins, two had already fallen, leaving five.
If no one was to be sacrificed, then the best chance was to act together as one.
With Boss Yao joining the fray, the remaining four naturally would give their all to fight Ye Chen.
In their minds, their odds of winning were greater!
Seeing these five assassins surround Ye Chen, Hua Xuelian's mind stirred, and he flew forward, saying, "Ye Chen, I'll assist you."
But Ye Chen merely smiled and shook his head, "Hua Daoist, just help me hold the line. If I can't handle them, then we act together."
Hua Xuelian hesitated, asking uncertainly, "Ye Chen, are you truly confident facing all five of them alone?"
Ye Chen nodded, "Ninety percent confident."
What Hua Xuelian didn't know was that Ye Chen's confidence actually reached a hundred percent.
After months of reflection in the World of the Death Fruit, Ye Chen had now mastered an even greater portion of the Starry Origin Power, enabling him to unleash the second stage of Origin Slash.
With Origin Slash's second stage, Ye Chen could even kill a Lower Immortal Divine Venerable, so the Superior Heavenly Divine Venerables were negligible by comparison.
What's more, Ye Chen still had aces up his sleeve, such as the Blue Extreme Iceflame.
Rather than letting Hua Xuelian intervene prematurely and disrupt his flow, it was better for Ye Chen to settle things directly through a one-on-five face-off!
Upon hearing Ye Chen confidently say "ninety percent," Hua Xuelian, though stunned, nodded and retreated.
On the other side, led by Boss Yao, the five assassins were enraged, laughing coldly, "One person against the five of us, claiming ninety percent certainty?"
"Even a Lower Immortal Divine Venerable wouldn't dare make such arrogant claims!"
Boss Yao suddenly raised his palm and commanded the other four, "Don't hold back—unleash your full power and eradicate Ye Chen at once!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
As Boss Yao's words fell, all four Purple Light Assassins unleashed an overwhelming combat presence, frenziedly activating their Divine Weapons and Artifacts.
Among their arsenal was a Chill Light Divine Hook, a Pitch-Black Divine Spear, and even a Blood Bead Treasure.
Boss Yao himself no longer masked his aura, which immediately surged to the level of a Lower Immortal Divine Venerable.
Simultaneously, Boss Yao clasped his hands together and summoned a blood-colored battle armor!
The next moment, all five assassins—divine hooks, spears, treasures, and their murderous intents combined—charged at Ye Chen in a frenzied assault.
Upon seeing Boss Yao emit the aura of a Lower Immortal Divine Venerable, the Divine Kings of Qianjue Divine Kingdom were once again terrified.
Some even gasped aloud: "This Purple Light Assassin has been hiding his strength—he must have broken through recently! A Lower Immortal Divine Venerable's combat power—that's something only Golden Light Assassins possess!"
Nobody expected this unexpected twist.
Hua Xuelian, likewise stunned, couldn't tell if Ye Chen could withstand this assault.
As the Divine Kings of Qianjue Divine Kingdom showed panicked expressions, Boss Yao laughed menacingly: "Now you understand my true strength? Too late."
"I didn't intend to fight further, but now that I've started, not only will I kill Ye Chen, but I'll also use your blood as tribute!"
The Divine Kings of Qianjue Divine Kingdom shrank back in fear, and some even considered fleeing again.
Yet, when they looked at Ye Chen, they saw that despite facing Boss Yao's aura of a Lower Immortal Divine Venerable, Ye Chen showed not a trace of fear.
Ye Chen's brow furrowed slightly: "Hmm, it seems there is indeed an expert among them."
Without waiting for the Divine Kings to decide whether to flee or stay and watch, Ye Chen took his first action.
Whoosh.
In an instant, an overwhelming aura erupted from Ye Chen, a radiant golden aura belonging only to the Starry Origin Power—infinitely stronger than what he had displayed earlier against Bai Lin and Bai Shang.
Next, Ye Chen flipped his hand, and a golden Divine Sword materialized in his grasp.
Simultaneously, overlapping with the golden sword, a second appeared—a dark Divine Sword.
Yin and Yang Divine Swords!
Ye Chen was preparing to unleash the second stage of Origin Slash!
Whoosh.
As soon as the two Divine Swords emerged, they vibrated, and an unmatched surging Starry Origin Power poured into them. Then, Ye Chen slashed toward Boss Yao and his companions.
What an awe-inspiring strike!
This sword had already been unleashed once before.
Back then, Ye Chen had annihilated an entire small world with it.
Now, as Ye Chen struck again, it was equally astonishing and extraordinary.
With one slash, the sword's brilliance spread outward in waves. The immediate range of ten thousand zhang surrounding Ye Chen was entirely consumed by the shredding Divine Light.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
In an instant, the Divine Weapons and Artifacts facing Ye Chen—whether Chill Light Divine Hook, Pitch-Black Divine Spear, or Blood Bead Treasure—were pulverized into dust.
Even the remaining four Purple Light Assassins were obliterated within the endless radiance, reduced to fragments and then swallowed by the void.
Even more terrifying, the sheer cutting power in that range of ten thousand zhang annihilated not only the massive ocean's waters but even the raging hurricanes atop it, leaving behind a colossal cavity in the sea.
As the four assassins died, Boss Yao was overcome with terror. Even with the combat power of a Lower Immortal Divine Venerable, he felt utterly inadequate against Ye Chen's strike.
In his shock, Boss Yao's blood armor shattered instantly, and both his arms were severed in the blink of an eye.
