Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 695: Chapter 695: Ye Qingchen Fainted

"Damn it, it’s a trap!" Realizing something was wrong, Huomei quickly ran back.

At that moment, Jiang Qi appeared before Ye Qingchen, a cold smirk on his face.

"Ye Qingchen, you didn’t see this coming, did you? What good is having someone so powerful by your side? She’s another fool, just like you! Now that you’ve fallen into my hands, don’t even think about leaving here alive."

Although Huomei had injured Jiang Qi, it was only a superficial wound. She had not dealt a fatal blow, so he still had plenty of strength left to deal with Ye Qingchen.

Ye Qingchen sensed the danger, and the wood element around him flared violently.

"Jiang Qi, killing me will do you no good!" Ye Qingchen knew he couldn’t beat Jiang Qi. Huomei had been lured away somewhere, Elder Yang and Elder Chen were absent, and no one from the Wuji Immortal Palace would come to his aid.

Jiang Qi let out a boisterous laugh. "Ye Qingchen, are you trying to be funny? Killing you will do me no good? The benefits are as countless as the stars in the sky! Enough talk. Take this!"

Jiang Qi bellowed as the Thunder Element around him surged. Ye Qingchen focused the Energy within his body, preparing to meet the attack.

BOOM...

Just then, an earth-shattering roar echoed from above.

Ye Qingchen shot his head up toward the sky, where he saw the dark clouds were now covered by a layer of golden light. Then, as if drawn by some invisible force, all the lightning began to converge on a single point. When all the bolts merged into one massive bolt of lightning, the entire sky was illuminated.

Jiang Qi stood suspended in the air, his eyes slightly closed. Everything before him seemed to become transparent.

Ye Qingchen looked up at Jiang Qi, his heart pounding with astonishment. At this moment, Jiang Qi seemed like a divine being who had descended to earth—majestic, imposing, and awe-inspiring, filling one with a sense of overwhelming reverence.

Jiang Qi’s eyes snapped open.

With a wave of his hand, a tremendous force descended from the sky, instantly pinning Ye Qingchen in place. He felt his body being viciously thrown, completely out of his control.

BANG!

Ye Qingchen’s body crashed into a nearby mountain wall, smashing a deep crater into the solid rock. He spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if his internal organs were about to shatter.

Struggling to his feet, he locked his eyes on the figure in the sky. At this moment, Jiang Qi looked even more terrifying.

Damn it, I still underestimated his strength.

Ye Qingchen was deeply shaken. Jiang Qi’s last strike had been horrifyingly powerful. If he hadn’t prepared his elemental resistance beforehand, he would have been knocked unconscious instantly.

Jiang Qi scoffed, "A little late to realize that now."

With that, Jiang Qi raised his hand again, pointing toward the lightning tribulation in the sky.

RUMBLE!

The heavenly lightning instantly shot toward Ye Qingchen. He gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on the space above him, ready to dodge at a moment’s notice.

However, at that very moment, Jiang Qi abruptly changed his attack. He brought his right index finger and thumb together and pointed at Ye Qingchen from afar. In an instant, an invisible ripple spread out from him as its center.

BOOM!

BANG!

"Ye Qingchen, that move was too merciful! Let me show you something even more powerful!" Jiang Qi’s cold, devilish laugh echoed.

His right index finger and thumb once again pointed forward. Instantly, the invisible ripple in the sky centered on Ye Qingchen and spread out like a massive storm that swept across the area. The violent gales were so strong they tore the very soil from the ground.

CRACK!

CRACK!

...

Ye Qingchen felt the terrifying fluctuations in the sky, and a tremor ran through his heart.

This guy, Jiang Qi, is an absolute monster.

No ordinary person could possibly withstand that attack. Taking a deep breath, Ye Qingchen kept his eyes glued to Jiang Qi in the sky.

"Shit!"

Ye Qingchen summoned all his strength and managed to dodge the attack when it was just a fingertip away. Even so, the force of the blast tore his clothes to shreds, revealing the skin underneath.

Seeing Ye Qingchen’s disheveled appearance, Jiang Qi laughed loudly. "You can dodge once, but can you dodge a second time?"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Jiang Qi attacked Ye Qingchen again and again, each strike filled with devastating Energy. Ye Qingchen’s body had reached its limit. If he kept fighting, defeat was certain. However, he refused to give up. He once again mobilized the elements inside his body, condensing them at his feet.

BOOM!

RUMBLE!

Ye Qingchen used all his might to evade, each dodge a narrow escape from death. After what felt like an eternity, his body was covered in wounds and dripping with fresh blood, a tragic sight to behold. But still, he persevered.

Jiang Qi saw Ye Qingchen’s intention, and a ferocious smile spread across his face.

"I’m tired of this game of cat and mouse, Ye Qingchen! Die!"

RUMBLE!

Jiang Qi launched another attack. Ye Qingchen could no longer endure it and collapsed to the ground, covered in his own blood. At that moment, he finally lost consciousness.

"Ye Qingchen!"

Just then, Huomei’s voice cried out from a distance. She had arrived just in time to watch helplessly as Jiang Qi knocked Ye Qingchen unconscious.

"Damn it! Kid, I told you not to provoke me! Now you’ll pay the price!" Huomei shouted, and the spiritual pressure radiating from her body skyrocketed. Jiang Qi’s eyes widened in shock.

Damn it! How is this woman so powerful?! She was just toying with me this whole time!

Jiang Qi instantly realized how wrong he had been and scrambled to get away.

The next second, Huomei pushed her palms forward, and a pillar of fire shot into the sky. Jiang Qi’s face paled, and he turned to flee.

"Thinking of running? You think you can escape?!"

Huomei slammed her palms down, and the towering pillar of fire transformed into a massive fire dragon that lunged toward Jiang Qi. Terrified out of his wits, Jiang Qi fled frantically.

Unfortunately for him, his strength was no match for Huomei’s. Soon, the fire dragon caught him in mid-air.

Huomei clenched her hands, and the flames instantly enveloped Jiang Qi, burning him relentlessly.

"AH! AHHH!" Jiang Qi screamed in agony. "Let go of me! Let me go!"

However, Huomei ignored his screams and instead poured even more Energy into the flames. Enveloped in her Energy, Jiang Qi felt as if his very soul was being incinerated. He gritted his teeth, straining with all his might as beads of sweat covered his forehead. He could feel Huomei’s fire burning not just his body, but the very Energy within him.

While trapped in the flames, Jiang Qi screamed in agony. If this keeps up, I’m going to be burned to a crisp! In just a short time, he had already suffered grievous injuries.

In his moment of despair, a thought struck Jiang Qi, and his eyes lit up with hope. That’s right! I still have that thing!
