My Silly, Sweet Wife

The next second, before anyone else could react, they saw a sword transform into a stunning rainbow, accompanied by the sound of slicing through the air, heading towards the other three Iron Armor Men.

Slash!

Slash!

Slash!

There wasn’t the slightest hesitation.

In fact, those three Iron Armor Men didn’t even have time to dodge, being directly cut in half.

Four Iron Armor Men were slain in less than ten seconds.

All the demonic beasts were stunned.

A moment later, they howled and retreated like a tide again.

Chen Liangce and others dared not pursue, just stood there dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost.

”What happened?”

”That sword seemed to be Mr. Ye’s.”

”What? Mr. Ye’s? This, how is this possible?”

Everyone turned their heads to look back.

The sword, after circling, also flew back.

In the sky not far away, a figure stepped over.

With hands behind his back, he was like a Banished Immortal in the heavens, making people look up in reverence.

Chen Liangce and Feng Zhuo, along with the hundred thousand soldiers, were so excited to see the visitor that their eyes filled with tears.

The soldiers who had originally lost hope and morale, many of them knelt down to worship Ye Guichen.

The Xuantian Sect members, except for Chu Yuanchen, did not recognize Ye Guichen.

Especially Tian Changrong, who was on the brink of death, thought he was destined to die this time, but hearing Chen Liangce and others’ cheers, he was stunned for a moment.

He struggled to get up and looked towards Ye Guichen in the sky.

With just one glance, Tian Changrong finally understood.

Why Chen Liangce held Ye Guichen in such high regard.

So this person only exists in the heavens, rarely heard of on earth.

I’m actually so foolish to have spoken disrespectfully?

Tian Changrong felt inexplicably ashamed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

”Mr. Ye, you are here!” As Ye Guichen approached, Chen Liangce and others quickly surrounded him, the lost morale also came back.

Ye Guichen nodded lightly, his gaze fell on the figure atop the ice wall.

Ye Guichen waved his hand, bringing one of the Iron Armor men’s corpses close.

Just by looking at it, Ye Guichen realized, this Iron Armor Man was a product of Qianji Sect’s puppetry technique.

Could the other person be from Qianji Sect?

Ye Guichen raised his head again and cupped his hands towards the person on the ice wall: ”Demonic beasts invaded my rivers and mountains, I drove them away, there should be no hindrance to the senior’s great affairs, right?”

”Haha, youngster, you indeed have some skill!” The other laughed loudly: ”But you shouldn’t meddle, with your talent, you may one day step into the Chaos Sea, but today you will fall here, which is quite a pity!”

While speaking, the other also shook his head gently, with an expression as if he already regarded Ye Guichen as a dead man.

At this moment, a startled voice came from behind Ye Guichen: ”Third Elder?”

It was Wen Ya and the other two who had followed.

Wen Ya and the others looked at the middle-aged man on the ice wall in disbelief.

Xiang Yun was even more puzzled: ”Wasn’t he with Ye Guichen? Why does it look like...”

Wen Ya rolled her eyes at Xiang Yun: ”I figured out long ago that they weren’t on the same side, now it seems, Ye Guichen doesn’t even know the Third Elder.”

”Why?” Xiang Yun was clearly not as clever as Wen Ya and remained puzzled.

Wen Ya sighed: ”Perhaps, it was just meant to confuse us.”

Wen Ya stepped in front of Ye Guichen, cupped her hands towards the Third Elder: ”Third Elder, disciple Wen Ya greets the Third Elder.”

The Third Elder gave a cold laugh: ”Wen Ya, haha, how is it going, the Kunlun mechanism, how’s your research going?”

That appearance, however, was very kind.

Wen Ya bit her lip, ”Disciple is dull and has not yet fully comprehended it.”

”Haha, that’s the mechanism left by Elder Qianji, if it were so easy to understand, it wouldn’t have been buried underground in the Northern Wasteland for so many years.” The Third Elder waved his hand, pointing at Ye Guichen: ”Wen Ya, this person intends to use the strength of the demonic beasts to harm our Qianji Sect, today I will execute him here, you be my witness!”

”What?” Wen Ya was stunned upon hearing this, her face filled with confusion.

Using the strength of the demonic beasts, to harm Qianji Sect?

What kind of situation is this?

The Third Elder explained: ”You should know, that behind this ice wall, is where our Qianji Sect is, he drove the demonic beasts into our Qianji Sect’s territory, his heart is punishable. Moreover, as I understand, this person has too great an ambition, must be executed!”

Wen Ya was obviously a bit doubtful: ”Third Elder, is there some misunderstanding in this?”

”What, do you not even believe me?” The Third Elder’s face suddenly sank: ”Or, have you already sided with him, ready to betray our Qianji Sect?”

Wen Ya, although aware that the Third Elder also harbored ill intentions.

But since knowing the identity of the Martial Uncle, Wen Ya also understood, even the Sect Leader may have unchecked ambitions.

Now the whole Qianji Sect, perhaps only Master can be trusted.

However, the rules of Qianji Sect are strict, without clear evidence, disrespect to elders is rebellion.

Elders have the right to directly execute people.

Even if they return, no one can object.

”Third Elder, if there is a misunderstanding, I just want to clarify...” Wen Ya wanted to say something more, but was interrupted directly by the Third Elder: ”Enough! You stand aside first, I’ll talk after I kill him!”

He smiled at the corner of his mouth and suddenly waved his hand.

Another talisman paper flew out.

The talisman paper burned in the air, and in the blink of an eye turned into a dozen Iron Armor Men.

However, these Iron Armor Men were obviously different from the previous ones.

Because they each held weapons in their hands.

”Is this the Earthly Branches Twelve Armors?” Wen Ya saw the twelve Iron Armor People flying out, his pupils contracted slightly, a trace of disbelief in his eyes.

Xiang Yun was also stunned.

Back when they were at the Qianji Sect, they had been fortunate enough to see the Earthly Branches Twelve Armors.

It was said that these Earthly Branches Twelve Armors subtly correspond to the twenty earthly branches in the heavenly stems and earthly branches, with each having the combat power of the third level of the Golden Core Realm.

Moreover, when united, they could probably even kill strong ones at the Golden Core Peak.

However, over the years, the Earthly Branches Twelve Armors had never appeared; they only vaguely heard from their master that it seemed to have been given to the Third Elder by the Sect Leader.

But they didn’t know exactly why.

Seeing them again at this moment, they couldn’t help but gasp.

In the Qianji Sect, if compared by cultivation base, they might not be a match for many of the major cultivation sects; even with their individual cultivation, they probably wouldn’t be a match for the Xuantian Sect.

However, their strength did not lie in their own cultivation base but in how strong the puppets they forged were.

For example, the Sect Leader was said to be able to create a Silver Armored Corpse.

That Silver Armored Corpse probably wouldn’t have any trouble facing three to five Golden Core Peak experts.

The elders below, while unable to create Copper Armor Corpses, could create Iron Armor Corpses, and the Great Elder seemed to have already created a Copper Armor Corpse.

Every high-level member of the Qianji Sect has a protective puppet.

Those puppets are equivalent to their personal bodyguards, acting at critical moments to kill enemies for them.

But cultivators like Wen Ya at the bottom do not have protective puppets.

This time, being able to bring out four wooden armors was already a gift from the master.

Yet, even so, they felt there would be no dangers they couldn’t face.

Even Wooden Armor People, with cultivation comparable to the Golden Core Realm, could easily have a free reign throughout the entire hidden sect world.

But who would have thought that upon meeting Ye Guichen, the Wooden Armor People would be cut down.

They could only sigh that Ye Guichen was no ordinary person; after all, how could a few Wooden Armor People deal with someone who could slay a powerhouse like the Flood Dragon King?

But now, the Third Elder actually threw out the Earthly Branches Twelve Iron Armor People.

This, this might slaughter the one hundred thousand strong army present and all the demonic beasts in the Northern Wilderness in less than ten minutes, right?

Ye Guichen is undoubtedly doomed this time!

”Mr. Ye...” Wen Ya hesitated but before he could speak, he saw Ye Guichen stepping into the void again, his expression calm: ”It seems that the four puppets that died earlier didn’t make you feel heartache! Haha, if that’s the case, I’ll cut down all your twelve puppets now!”

”Arrogant!” The Third Elder laughed up to the sky, waved his hand: ”Kill!”

The Earthly Branches Twelve Iron Armor People instantly surrounded Ye Guichen in the middle.

Ye Guichen’s expression remained unchanged, holding the Immortal Slayer Sword, and he didn’t even unleash the Hundred Swords Resonance.

”I’ll let you kill!”

With a slight smirk, Ye Guichen seemed to not use any flashy moves, slashing one Iron Armor Man with a single sword strike.

”Alas, the Earthly Branches Twelve Iron Armor People are a unit, killing them like this would exhaust oneself to death!” Wen Ya sighed inwardly watching Ye Guichen’s actions.

The Earthly Branches Twelve Iron Armor People are among the top five existences in the Qianji Sect.

Their strength is such that even some Nascent Soul Great Abilities would fear them.

They are usually used by the Sect Leader to guard the Qianji Sect, but now being used against a Foundation Establishment Realm expert, it’s simply too wasteful.

Subconsciously, Wen Ya glanced at Ye Guichen.

But upon seeing, Wen Ya’s pupils contracted again, as if seeing a ghost.

”He, he’s in the Golden Core Realm?”

According to Wen Ya’s understanding, when slaying the Flood Dragon King, Ye Guichen seemed to still have been in the Foundation Establishment Realm, right?

How come not long after, he suddenly broke through to the Golden Core Realm?

Since when did breakthroughs become this easy?

Wen Ya’s eyes flickered with disbelief.

But soon, this disbelief turned into regret.

After all, a genius like Ye Guichen is about to die at the hands of the Earthly Branches Twelve Iron Armor People, which is simply too regrettable.

Bang!

As Wen Ya was lost in thought, a sound akin to a thunderclap resounded.

Ye Guichen’s sword severed one of the Iron Armor People in two, but as a flash of light followed, the body of that Iron Armor Man instantly regenerated.

Two of the remaining eleven Iron Armor People gently lifted the one falling, as if comrades.

After lifting that Iron Armor Man, the other eleven Iron Armor People returned to position.

Once again forming a circle, they surrounded Ye Guichen in the center.

Twelve as one, complementing each other.

Seeing this, not only was Ye Guichen not a bit frustrated, but rather somewhat excited.

Good stuff!

The Puppet Master he had created could not yet be used.

However, if he could assemble the spare parts from the four Iron Armor People he had previously cut down onto the Puppet Master, and then take in these twelve Earthly Branch Iron Armor People, his defensive force would be unparalleled!

”Haha, it’s indeed good stuff!”

The idea of cutting these twelve Iron Armor People into metal scraps was thrown behind by Ye Guichen.

He sheathed the Immortal Slayer Sword.

Seeing this, not only the Third Elder, but even those watching the hustle and bustle below were taken aback.

What’s going on?

Without a weapon?

Playing with bare hands?

This is too presumptuous, isn’t it?

”Mr. Ye, please be very careful!” Chen Liangce originally wanted to remind Ye Guichen not to be too presumptuous, but felt that saying it outright wasn’t very appropriate, so he just urged a bit of caution from Ye Guichen.

Xiang Yun snorted coldly, looking at Ye Guichen as if he were looking at an idiot: ”Is this guy crazy? The strength of these Earthly Branches Twelve Iron Armor People is such that even our Sect Leader fears them greatly, and he wants to fight barehanded? Humph, I see he’s asking to die, huh!”
