Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile

"Ye Chen! Get back now!" Lu Changhe's face was not good when he saw Ye Chen's action.

He and everyone were trying to make an opportunity for them to escape. There was no way he would feel happy at this.

However, Ye Chen did not care about his words and shot towards the heretical sect disciples like an arrow.

For others, his actions were courting death. But for him, this was something he had been looking forward to.

The Qi-condensation and foundation establishment, after all, gave him system coins above three thousand and four thousand per person. It would be a waste to not get them.

There were some problems, like how he could not fight with foundation establishment experts and a large number of Qi-condensation cultivators, but he decided not to think about it now.

"Hahaha! His head is mine. I am getting the tier-5 blood pill, hahaha!"

A Qi-condensation heretical disciple who was ahead of everyone started laughing with joy. The reason why every heretical disciple was rushing to kill Ye Chen was not because they feared his strength but because of the reward they would receive if they killed him.

The reward was only for Qi-condensation disciples; because of this, the foundation establishment stage cultivators were just watching silently.

"A Tier-5 pill for my life? Do you really think I am that cheap?" Ye Chen became irritated.

"Hmph! You will be even cheaper, a pity that elders think too highly of you. Well die now. Blood Severing Claw!" The heretical disciple shouted with a sinister look.

In that instant, a giant blood-red claw materialized in the air, hurtling toward Ye Chen with murderous intent.

"Little tricks," Ye Chen sneered and made no action to defend and destroy the attack.

The reason was the heretical disciple, who was just at the fourth stage of Qi condensation. Furthermore, he did not even use his full strength to attack, clearly underestimating Ye Chen.

"Hahaha, die!"

Seeing Ye Chen not taking any action, the heretical disciple laughed with a triumphant look, while Lu Changhe's expression turned unsightly.

"Hurry and protect him! Also, retreat as soon as you can!" He shouted at the elders behind.

Most of them were not taking action because this meant leaving their disciples defenseless. Of course, there were elders like Hu Ming who acted like they were making difficult decisions while wishing for Ye Chen's death.

Then there were Li Mei and others, the calmest group. They did not worry about Ye Chen because they all had received inheritance and knew how terrifying it was.

Boom!

The blood claw struck Ye Chen head-on only to disperse like smoke upon contact.

"Is that all your blood arts can do?" Ye Chen asked, stepping out from the blood mist completely unharmed.

Seeing this, everyone held an expression of disbelief; even Lu Changhe did not expect a Qi-gathering disciple to survive such a strike head-on without any injuries.

Slash!

"You are too slow," Ye Chen said with a disdainful look.

Because the attack failed, the heretical sect disciple tried to launch a more powerful one, but would Ye Chen give him another chance?

Thud!

A head fell on the ground with disbelief written in its eyes.

(Boy, don't forget to collect the soul; that is the only way to raise the nether beast,) the azure dragon spoke suddenly.

Hearing it, Ye Chen was surprised; nonetheless, he did not hesitate and began to extract the soul along with blood essence.

"Y-you, what are you doing?"

A nearby stunned heretical disciple suddenly saw the dead body turning white and bleeding from seven orifices.

"I am collecting his soul because I think he shouldn't be reincarnated," Ye Chen replied with a faint chuckle as he collected a ball of white light inside the emperor void pearl while giving the blood essence to the system.

The process was simple with the spiritual techniques he knew; it's just it was not good-looking.

"You demon! Die!"

Another heretical disciple arrived and attacked with full force. However, by no means was it out of friendship but greed as he looked at the heavenly spear.

"Heh, another idiot," Ye Chen chuckled and lifted his foot slightly.

Swoosh!

In that instant his figure disappeared, and two headless bodies fell to the ground.

"Watch out, his strength is not simple!" Now Mo Tianji's face was unsightly.

"Surround him first!"

"Use everything you have!"

Hearing the roar of their elder, the heretical disciples hurriedly made a formation to trap Ye Chen.

"What the hell are you doing? Go and save him!" Lu Changhe did not believe that he had to say it again.

This time the elders did not remain stunned and rushed forward; however, they had not even taken a few steps when cultivators donned in black cloaks appeared out of nowhere.

Their faces hidden behind black masks and their eyes cold, filled with killing intent. This unknown group of cultivators did not hesitate and attacked the elders who were going to save Ye Chen.

Seeing this, the elder's expression changed, and they hurriedly defended, making sure the disciples behind them wouldn't get harmed.

With the arrival of unknown power, everyone knitted their brows with displeasure. Whoever was behind this clearly hid well and if not for their appearance now, who knows which faction they would attack?

If there was anyone who knew about them, then it was Ye Chen. He had long sensed unusual spiritual Qi around it's just he did not know which faction they belonged to.

'They are powerful,' Ye Chen muttered in his heart as he saw three cultivators in black cloaks fighting with multiple elders alone, even though their strength was at the same stage.

"Soul-Shredding Chain!"

"Crimson Bone Spear!"

The heretical sect disciples did not let go of the opportunity and attacked when Ye Chen was distracted.

A pity Ye Chen could see everything around him without even looking so he disappeared from his place like a ghost and started to behead them one by one.

He, of course, did not forget to extract the soul and blood essence, which made everyone shiver.

"What are you watching for?! Kill him!" Mo Tianji's expression was black as he saw the disciples from his side getting killed like chickens.

Hearing his shout, the foundation stage disciples finally decided to take action. But only one disciple moved forward, as most were too arrogant to lower themselves and attack a mere Qi-gathering cultivator.

"Heh. It seems you are still underestimating me," Ye Chen chuckled.

"Humph! Says a brat who is doing nothing but sneak attacking." The foundation establishment disciple snorted angrily, his face a little similar to Gao Jinhai's.

"Senior Gao Yansheng, be careful; he has a lot of tricks," an injured Qi-condensation disciple reminded him.

Swoosh!

Suddenly a cold light flashed, and the injured disciple was beheaded in an instant.

"Dare to remind me who you think you are, trash." Gao Yansheng stated with a cold look, Clearly, he was the one who made the move.

"Thanks for the gift." Ye Chen did not hesitate and extracted the soul along with blood essence.

"Are you not afraid of the righteous faction killing you for such methods?" Gao Yansheng inquired with a sneer.

"Kill me? For this? Are you an idiot?" Ye Chen chuckled with an amused look.

"Looks like you are blind and did not see how many elders looked at your action with a frown. Well, the time for chat is over," Gao Yansheng said with disdain and stepped forward.

Swoosh!

In that instant a terrifying aura spread through, making every nearby Qi-condensation cultivator kneel down.

The gap between the two realms was, after all, like the difference between heaven and earth. If a Qi-Condensation cultivator could stir the winds and shake the earth, then a Foundation Establishment cultivator could split rivers and shatter mountains.

However, this pressure was still not enough for Ye Chen; he stood strongly in his place without even flinching.

Seeing this, Gao Yansheng narrowed his eyes. Although he was arrogant, he had to admit Ye Chen did possess remarkable strength.

But still it was not worth mentioning in front of him.

"Pay the price of your arrogance, brat!" he shouted, launching a palm technique that sealed all of the escape routes.

(Boy, can you handle it?) the azure dragon inquired.

'Heh. If I wasn't confident, then I wouldn't be standing here,' Ye Chen replied with a smile as he looked at the incoming giant palm.

There was no worry on his face, as if he had already expected this.

Watching him like this, the righteous elders panicked, while the heretical ones frowned.

Especially Mo Tianji, a bad feeling arose in his heart.

"Sister Li Mei, do you think Brother Ye Chen can kill that ugly chicken?" Lin Xian'er inquired, her eyes shining like stars despite the bloody slaughter happening in front of her.

Li Mei was a little speechless, but she had full confidence in Ye Chen.

"He can and within a few moves," she replied.

Killing a foundation establishment cultivator was hard but after getting the inheritance, she knew how vulnerable they could be.

"Sister MeiMei, it's time." Suddenly, Lan Ming narrowed her eyes.

Hearing her, Li Mei nodded, and a few formation flags appeared in her hand.

"What secret are you keeping? I want to know too," the little girl requested with a pitiful look.

Wang Yiyi also did the same, wondering what they were up to.
