Chapter 837: Chapter 836: Facing Void Peak Alone
Silence!
The vast Void Peak, shocked into a deathly silence, where even the sound of a pin drop could be heard.
At this moment.
Even the wind seemed to have stopped.
Everyone stared dumbfounded at the scene before them, until a moment later, someone snapped out of their fear, swallowing hard, trembling as they asked, "Is Ye Xuan dead? And defeated by Ye Qingchen in just three moves?"
No one could answer him.
At this moment.
Everyone seemed to have lost the ability to speak.
They stared blankly at the figure on the arena. Earlier, when Ye Qingchen had said he would kill Ye Xuan in three moves, no one believed him, even taking it as a joke!
But now that Ye Xuan’s body was reduced to nothing, none of them could laugh, leaving only deep shock in their eyes.
"How is it possible?"
Ye Xu Kong clenched her fists; this was a scene she had never anticipated.
Other Supreme Elders were also shocked by this scene.
Lu Yanwu, Sea of Zhou, Lin Shifei, and Zheng Jiuling looked delighted at the stage. Han Buxiu clenched his fists, feeling his blood boil, and more convinced than ever that following Ye Qingchen was the right choice.
Su Moran felt triumphant, feeling as though the resentment accumulated over the past decade had all evaporated at this moment, completely swept away!
On the arena.
Ye Qingchen showed neither joy nor sorrow.
To others, Ye Xuan was Marquis Guangjun’s closed-door disciple, a newly-promoted Earth Immortal, considered almost invincible! But in Ye Qingchen’s eyes, Ye Xuan had been an Earth Immortal for a short time, even weaker than Luo Yunfei by three points.
Three moves to kill him!
That was enough!
"Ye Qingchen, it was just a spar, why are you so ruthless, resorting to killing?" Just then, a voice rang out suddenly, and everyone quickly turned to look.
It was none other than Zhou Longxing, another closed-door disciple of Marquis Guangjun, known as one of the three giants of Void Peak.
"Indeed!" Ning Yukong squinted and sneered, "You slaughter your fellow disciples, how vicious!"
"What did you say? When Ye Xuan tried to kill Han Buxiu, why didn’t you speak up then?"
Lu Yanwu was so angry that her face turned red.
"Heh!" Ye Qingchen sneered, "The battle between me and Ye Xuan was decided three months ago; it was a duel of life and death. He died by my hand, isn’t it due to his own lack of skill?"
"This duel of life and death was made in front of everyone at Taotian Palace! Or are you all at Void Peak a bunch of liars?"
Ning Yukong and Zhou Longxing’s faces froze.
It was only then that they remembered this was a duel of life and death between the two, witnessed by the Taotian Palace disciples and the Supreme Elders.
"Heh, the people of Void Peak can’t stand losing!" Zheng Jiuling snorted, his voice dripping with sarcasm, "They thought they had Ye Qingchen for sure, but who would have thought Mr. Ye would kill Ye Xuan in three moves, and now they’re just being unreasonable and making trouble!"
Though Zheng Jiuling’s cultivation was not high, his words were quite harsh, causing a stir around them.
All at once.
Suspicious gazes turned towards the two of them.
Whispers arose incessantly.
Zhou Longxing’s face turned crimson with rage, wishing he could crush Zheng Jiuling into minced meat!
As Marquis Guangjun’s closed-door disciple, one of the three giants of Void Peak, when had he ever received such humiliation? Feeling the slightly mocking and disdainful gazes around him, he couldn’t help but step forward and say:
"If that’s the case! Ye Qingchen, do you dare to fight me? This fight will decide both victory and life and death!"
After saying this.
His body suddenly shook, and he released his aura without reservation.
The void trembled, a storm swept up, knocking people and horses around them off balance, even stirring the clouds around. From where he stood, the ground split inch by inch, spreading in all directions.
"Earth Immortal!"
There were gasps from the crowd.
Moreover.
What shocked people even more was that Zhou Longxing’s aura was three times stronger than Ye Xuan’s!
"Ye Qingchen!"
Almost simultaneously, Ning Yukong also stepped forward, his voice cold:
"Since you dare insult our Void Peak, do you dare fight me to the death? Until one of us falls?"
Boom!
Ning Yukong clenched his fists, and his entire aura rapidly surged, instantly kicking up a sweeping and astounding tornado. The expansive True Qi surged like a tide, ascending like flames to the sky!
"Another Earth Immortal!"
The crowd gasped again.
No one expected that all three giants of Void Peak had attained the Earth Immortal state.
This scene.
Even raised the eyebrows of the Supreme Elders watching in the void.
Then, they turned to Ye Qingchen with amused expressions.
"Hmph, Ye Qingchen is too arrogant! He thinks that just because he defeated Ye Xuan, he can look down on everyone? Void Peak doesn’t have just Ye Xuan as our Earth Immortal!"
A Void Peak Elder sneered, "How dare he insult us lightly?"
"Ye Qingchen, I am Zhao Huai’an, a Half-Step Earth Immortal from Void Peak, do you dare to fight me? This duel, to the death!"
At this point.
A disciple from Void Peak could no longer suppress his anger and stepped forward roaring.
They had waited for today, just to see Ye Qingchen killed with their own eyes. But who would have thought, Ye Xuan would be the one publicly executed, and even the entire Void Peak was humiliated.
How could they swallow this indignation?
"Ye Qingchen, I am Chen Cangqiong, a Half-Step Earth Immortal from Void Peak, do you dare to fight me, to the death?"
Almost simultaneously.
Another disciple stepped forward.
At that moment.
The vast Void Peak seemed to ignite a fuse, and the disciples of Void Peak were suddenly in an uproar.
"Ye Qingchen, do you dare to fight me!"
"Ye Qingchen! Do you dare to fight me!"
"Ye Qingchen! Do you dare to fight me!"
One, two... More and more disciples of Void Peak stepped forward, shouting loudly.
From the arena to the foot of Void Peak mountain.
From Earth Immortals all the way to the Celestial Venerable.
At this moment.
The gathered voices of Void Peak disciples were like a torrent, amassing into a thunderous cheer:
"Ye Qingchen, do you dare to fight me!"
"You all..." Lu Yanwu’s face paled with fear, wanting to respond, yet not knowing who to answer. At this moment, she felt as if the angry shouts came attacking from all directions.
"Mr. Ye!"
Sea of Zhou, Lin Shifei, and Zheng Jiuling also anxiously looked towards Ye Qingchen.
Considering this was the entire Void Peak!
Han Buxiu’s face turned cold, and he had already secretly gathered his True Qi, ready to act at any moment.
Su Moran furrowed his brows, his face growing more and more angry. Even the Three-tailed Demon Fox was squinting its eyes.
Disciples from the other major peaks in the arena were dumbfounded, watching as the Void Peak disciples rose in indignation and fury, feeling that Ye Qingchen had once again incited public wrath, making it impossible to stop!
In the sky, including Ye Xu Kong, several Supreme Elders’ smiles were growing broader.
It seemed.
They had already seen the scene where Ye Qingchen, overwhelmed by the tide of anger, fled the Heaven-Shocking Peak in disgrace.
"Heh heh!"
At this moment, unexpectedly, Ye Qingchen shook his head.
"I didn’t expect so many people to want to fight me! Instead of wasting time one by one, why don’t you all come at once?"
After saying this.
Ye Qingchen suddenly took a step forward.
At that moment, the power suppressed within him was no longer retained at all, like a torrent of a flood accumulated over three days and nights, it burst forth wildly, sweeping out unrestrained!
The divine light surged and roiled in his eyes.
Today!
He would single-handedly battle the entire Void Peak!
