Ever since his trip to Miaojiang, Ye Chen's realm had already reached the great completion of the Innate Mid Stage, and the Late Stage was just a step away.
Because of the issues with the Undying Mysterious Technique, his current combat prowess was on par with the powerhouses of the Innate Late Stage. Even ordinary experts of the Late Stage were not a match for Ye Chen.
Given that Kumu was seriously wounded and not fully recovered, Ye Chen could fight him without falling behind, even if he couldn't kill Kumu.
He was very curious to see just how strong he had become.
"Since you're courting death, don't blame me."
Kumu snorted angrily and with a sweep of his sleeve, stones and sand flew about, and a powerful gust of wind whistled by, sending a surge of Vigor charging towards Ye Chen.
Vermilion Bird, Ji Wushuang, and a few others saw that Ye Chen and Kumu had come to blows; their expressions changed slightly, and they quickly led Wei Xun and the rest to back away.
"Well met!"
