Chapter 621 - 624: Who’s Next?
"How is this possible?"
The crowd erupted in an uproar.
The City Lord of Black Stone was actually sent flying with a single palm strike? Moreover, the opponent only possessed the cultivation level of the Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer! What was even more shocking was that this young man actually advanced directly from the Celestial Venerable Fourth Layer, breaking through three small realms in succession!
For anyone to achieve just one of these feats would be enough to astonish people.
Not to mention.
The one accomplishing all this was a mere eighteen-year-old youth!
"Mr. Ye, run away quickly!" At this time, Lu Yanwu also snapped out of the shock, hurriedly shouting, "These people have come specifically to kill you..."
"I already know!"
Ye Qingchen said calmly.
Even though he had been in a state of closed-door meditation earlier, he was fully aware of the situation outside. He just hadn’t been able to wake up until Black Stone City Lord’s palm allowed him to sense the impending danger, prompting him to awaken at a critical moment.
He was already on the verge of a breakthrough, just unable to take that final step. However, under the threat of life-and-death crisis, he broke through the shackles, advancing three small realms at once!
"Thank you all for your efforts! Leave the rest to me!"
Ye Qingchen took a deep breath, his heart surging with boundless rage. These people actually dared to come and kill him. If not for his timely breakthrough amidst the crisis, not only would he have perished here.
Even Lu Yanwu and the Three-tailed Fox would likely have met a cruel fate!
His gaze shifted to the intruders.
Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer!
Several City Lords squinted their eyes.
The scene before them indeed exceeded their imaginations, but they still underestimated Ye Qingchen, who had just broken through, seeing the defeat of the Black Stone City Lord as merely a result of underestimation!
"Ye Qingchen, do you think you alone can contend with us?"
Watching Ye Qingchen’s actions, the City Lord of Xuanjian sneered.
"I’m not contending with you!" Ye Qingchen slowly raised his head, speaking in an extremely calm tone amidst the stupefied expressions of a few people, "I’m here to kill you!"
Once the words were spoken.
The expressions of everyone present changed abruptly.
However.
Before anyone could react, roaring sounds came from behind. The City Lord of Black Stone was already rising from the dust, his aura surging like a furious tide, sweeping directly from his body.
His eyes were full of fury.
As a Celestial Venerable of the Ninth Layer, he couldn’t even destroy a kid who had just reached the Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer, and was publicly struck back by the opponent. It was a lifetime disgrace!
"Boom!"
As his aura swept open, he stepped out with immense force!
It was as though the heavens and earth were collapsing.
The surrounding earth shattered wildly, the ground cracking layer by layer, dust swirling indefinitely. Cracks spread madly along his feet, and massive boulders shot out all around like arrows!
The City Lord of Black Stone leveraged this terrifying explosive force, charging towards Ye Qingchen with astonishing momentum, like a fierce tiger descending the mountain!
"Boom!"
The ferocious assault, the speed was pushed to the extreme.
He was like an arrow shooting at Ye Qingchen, a relentless palm strike descending without hesitation.
Whoosh!
The palm strike crushed down, bringing with it an endless gale, causing the surrounding air to crackle. Its momentum was fiercer and more violent than before, like a collapsing sky able to crush everything in existence!
The might made everyone lose their composure.
"Can he withstand it?"
Lu Yanwu clenched her small fists, her knuckles white.
The Three-tailed Fox also looked on with intense tension.
"The City Lord of Black Stone is truly enraged!" The City Lord of Xuanjian saw this scene and couldn’t help but sneer, "He underestimated his opponent before, that’s why he got struck back, but now he’s putting all his strength into it, the kid has no way out..."
Hearing this, a slight smile appeared on the faces of the others. But just as that smile appeared, it froze completely.
In the eyes of everyone filled with shock.
Ye Qingchen took a step forward, raising two fingers for a slash!
"Zing!"
A dazzling, unparalleled sword light suddenly appeared. No language could describe the sharpness of this sword, and as soon as it appeared, it descended with an attitude that could seemingly cut down all existence!
"Not good!"
The City Lord of Xuanjian and others were aghast, wanting to intervene, but it was too late.
They saw.
Under this slash, the Black Stone City Lord’s body trembled violently, as if struck by lightning, he stopped abruptly. His upper half slanted down like a felled tree, crashing heavily to the ground with a thud, lifeless!
His eyes were wide open, filled with incredulity.
As if he couldn’t believe.
That he actually died by Ye Qingchen’s hand, under one of Ye Qingchen’s sword strikes!
Silence!
A deathly stillness enveloped the surroundings.
Everyone widened their eyes, full of shock, at this scene.
This scene.
It was even more astonishing than before!
The sound of gasping breaths filled every corner.
"How can this be?"
"One sword, just one sword, completely wiped out the Black Stone City Lord?"
"He is merely a Celestial Venerable of the Seventh Layer, yet he could kill the Celestial Venerable Ninth Layer’s Black Stone City Lord as effortlessly as mowing grass!"
Suddenly.
The gaze of everyone turned towards Ye Qingchen, filled with an immense dread.
Earlier, when this kid declared he would exterminate them, they merely thought it was a joke. But now, witnessing this scene, they felt deeply the terror of Ye Qingchen!
"Who’s next?"
Ye Qingchen withdrew his right hand, slowly raising his head, his gaze sweeping over all the people in the field!
"Kid, don’t be arrogant!" A cultivator of the Celestial Venerable Eighth Layer from Bright Moon City couldn’t help but shout angrily, "Do you truly think you’re invincible?"
"Who allowed you to speak?"
Ye Qingchen cast a cold glance at him, flicking his fingers.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant.
A terrifying finger force swiftly pierced through the void, directly into the head of that cultivator. Only a ’bang’ was heard, and the cultivator didn’t even have time to scream before his head was penetrated!
Celestial Venerable Eighth Layer, killed with a finger!
This display made the once aggressive group pause in their tracks. Their eyes on Ye Qingchen were no longer calm and composed, but filled with deep dread.
The ambition to annihilate Ye Qingchen and imprison his soul evaporated entirely at that moment!
Clearly.
The power Ye Qingchen displayed had exceeded their expectations!
Lu Yanwu and the Three-tailed Fox widened their mouths, unable to believe their eyes.
Amidst the gazes of fear, shock, and disbelief, Ye Qingchen’s voice, like a chilling wind from the Nine Netherworld, seemed to freeze the blood in everyone’s veins:
"Who’s next?"
