Chapter 835: Chapter 834: Three Moves to Kill You!
"Ye Qingchen, weren’t you dead?"
Ye Xu Kong took a step forward, her face ferocious, seemingly unable to accept it.
Originally.
She thought this battle could eliminate two of her biggest hidden threats. She never expected Ye Qingchen to suddenly "come back to life," and even charge onto the arena to save Han Buxiu.
"Yeah!"
"What on earth is going on?"
"Wasn’t it said an Earth Immortal made a move?"
Swoosh!
At this moment.
Everyone’s gaze fell entirely onto Ye Qingchen.
Astonishment, doubt, shock, confusion...
Su Moran also looked over with great interest.
She was the first person to learn of Ye Qingchen’s "death," and she believed Zheng Jiuling and Han Buxiu hadn’t lied to her. But now Ye Qingchen had actually returned. How could she not be shocked, not be delighted?
"I didn’t die in the Ice Crystal Lake, are you very disappointed?"
Ye Qingchen clasped his hands behind his back, looking at Ye Xu Kong with a half-smile. "Back then Luo Yunfei triggered the Ice Crystal Lake’s cold tide to kill me. I directly fled into the Ice Crystal Lake and was trapped inside for a few months!"
"So that’s how it was!"
Everyone suddenly saw the light.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xu Kong clenched her fists even tighter. In her heart she was secretly cursing Luo Yunfei for being sloppy in his work, wishing she could fly straight to Ice City to teach him a lesson. But in the next instant, Ye Qingchen’s next sentence completely detonated the scene.
"After I left the Ice Crystal Lake, I casually killed seven Half-Step Earth Immortals of the Luo Family." Ye Qingchen said blandly.
"What?"
Everyone was dumbstruck, almost unable to believe it.
The information contained in this one sentence from Ye Qingchen was far more shocking than his "return from death." Seven dignified Half-Step Earth Immortals—this was absolutely a crippling blow to an Earth Immortal Clan.
"Hmph, you killed seven of their Half-Step Earth Immortals, how could the Luo Family possibly let you go?" The Supreme Elder of Piaomiao Peak clearly didn’t believe it.
"Of course they wouldn’t let me go!" Ye Qingchen shrugged and said, "But I killed my way all the way to the Luo Family, beheading twenty-seven Half-Step Earth Immortals in a row and directly blasting Luo Yunfei to death."
"This news should be spread back here before long!"
In an instant.
Void Peak fell utterly silent; a pin drop could be heard.
Ye Xu Kong’s expression also froze.
Everyone else was even more dumbfounded.
Was this wiping the entire Luo Family off the map? Was it true, or fake?
"Ye Qingchen!"
Boom!
Just then.
A violent boom suddenly rang out. Amid a spray of shattered stone, a figure stepped out, sweeping away the swirling dust all around with a surge of vast, righteous Power!
This figure was no one else—it was Ye Xuan.
Only to see.
At this moment, Ye Xuan was no longer as arrogant as before. His entire body was ragged and tattered, hardly a single intact spot, looking utterly miserable. But his eyes, like a vicious wolf’s, locked fiercely onto Ye Qingchen:
"Hahaha! Wipe out the Luo Family? Just you? A brat who’s only at the Human Immortal Ninth Layer?"
Boom!
As his words fell.
Everyone seemed to think of something and snapped their heads toward Ye Qingchen. Even Su Moran was slightly taken aback. Although Ye Qingchen’s aura was surging, he had not stepped into Earth Immortal at all!
"I don’t care how you escaped from the Ice Crystal Lake... but since you’ve come back, in this life-and-death battle, I’ll personally end you!" Ye Xuan’s face twisted viciously, eyes almost splitting.
In his eyes, Ye Qingchen was merely an ant he could crush at will. Yet it was precisely this ant who had punched him flying in public. This left a sheet of ice in his heart.
"Just you?"
Ye Qingchen stood proudly, looking at Ye Xuan with a faint smile:
"To kill you, I only need three moves!"
Boom!
As these words came out, an uproar erupted all around.
What kind of arrogance was this.
Ye Xuan’s eyes flooded with boundless shame and fury. "I, your father, am a dignified Earth Immortal, and you think you can kill me? Today I’ll use your blood to wash away my rage—watch how I destroy your body and soul!"
With that.
Ye Xuan suddenly stomped his foot. His aura, like a suppressed ocean storm, surged out in an instant. True Qi roiled grandly around him, like clouds billowing in all directions.
"Rip!"
On Void Peak, those thousand-year-old ancient trees were directly torn to shreds by the hurricane he stirred up. The spectators in the arena felt as if they were standing in a heaven-flooding tidal wave sweeping across the world!
As this aura climbed to its peak, Ye Xuan shifted his foot with a sudden step.
"Boom!"
Only to see.
The ground under his feet collapsed on the spot, turning into a giant pit. At that moment, Ye Xuan’s whole body became a Heaven-shocking bolt of lightning, streaking swiftly through the void, charging straight at Ye Qingchen on the arena!
In this moment.
Ye Xuan had unleashed his Earth Immortal cultivation with not the slightest reservation, displaying it to the fullest!
"Looks like you don’t believe me!"
Ye Qingchen let out a light laugh and said:
"In that case, let me show you!"
The smile on Ye Qingchen’s face vanished. He suddenly lifted his hand and clenched his fist. In an instant his aura changed drastically, like a mountain pressing down on heaven and earth.
...
Below the arena.
"Tell me, do you think what Ye Qingchen said about flattening the Luo Family is true or false?"
Zhou Longxing asked coldly.
"How is that possible?" Ning Yukong clasped his hands behind his back and sneered. "The Luo Family is a hereditary Major Race, and Luo Yunfei is an Earth Immortal suppressing a region, with a thousand-year heritage. How could he possibly wipe out the Luo Family with his strength alone? Moreover, the might and connections of an Earth Immortal are terrifying—you and I both know this well!"
"Looks like that kid Ye Qingchen is just bluffing!" Zhou Longxing said with open disdain. "Although he went out and got some fortuitous encounter, stepping into the Human Immortal Ninth Layer, how can the Human Immortal Ninth Layer possibly contend against an Earth Immortal?"
In his view.
That punch Ye Qingchen had thrown earlier only succeeded because he relied on a sneak attack, catching Ye Xuan off guard and thus managing to save Han Buxiu. But once Ye Xuan got serious, he could take Ye Qingchen’s life in an instant.
So he didn’t think highly of Ye Qingchen at all.
And not just him.
Among all those present, not a single person favored Ye Qingchen. Ye Xuan’s earlier performance had simply been too strong; even Han Buxiu, a Half-Step Earth Immortal, couldn’t withstand a single blow from him.
And Ye Qingchen was only at the Human Immortal Ninth Layer—how could he be a match for Ye Xuan?
Yet they saw Ye Qingchen standing there, neither dodging nor evading.
Only when Ye Xuan charged right up to him did he finally lift his fist and slowly push it forward. This punch was like a collapsing mountain, vast and peerless. Under the gaze of the crowd, in an instant it smashed heavily into Ye Xuan’s attack!
"Dong!"
A boom even more violent than before suddenly exploded.
The terrifying impact crushed and detonated the air around them. Horrific Power swept in all directions, tearing the massive arena into countless terrifying cracks and directly flinging all the spectators away.
"Rumble!"
Under everyone’s incredulous gaze.
They saw Ye Xuan’s body tremble as he spewed a mouthful of blood. He lost his balance on the spot and, at a speed even faster than when he had come, shot off the arena like an arrow leaving the string.
He flew wildly without stopping, smashing down one towering palace after another, carving a track several li long across the ground, almost blasting his way to the edge of their vision before finally coming to a halt.
"This..."
The entire field was dead silent.
Everyone was dumbstruck.
Ning Yukong and Zhou Longxing almost had their eyeballs pop out, unable to believe any of this. The crowd all around was as if struck by lightning, frozen in place as though seeing a ghost.
Ye Xu Kong’s expression stiffened.
The other several Supreme Elders also had complicated looks on their faces.
Under everyone’s disbelieving gazes, Ye Qingchen slowly withdrew his right hand and grinned:
"That was the first move!"
