Chapter 715 - 714: Killing with a Flick of the Finger
"Ye Qingchen!"
Someone called out in a shocked voice.
Instantly, the crowd erupted into chaos.
Yes.
Since Shen Yu previously shouted in surprise, they finally realized that the young man in green before them was Ye Qingchen, who had slain the Bone Flood Dragon a month ago, escaped from Ten Thousand Gods Sect, and had been missing since.
Although they didn’t know why Ye Qingchen appeared here with silver hair, they were certain of one thing: Ye Qingchen was not only alive, but his power had skyrocketed!
While still in the Celestial Venerable Realm, he could slay a Human Immortal. Now that he had reached the Human Immortal stage, his strength must have climbed to a terrifying new level!
Wanmu!
Although not the top among many evil cultivators, he still had the power of the Human Immortal Second Layer. Yet he was blown away by Ye Qingchen with a single gesture!
At that moment.
No one dared to step forward.
Finally, after a stalemate, a gray-clad evil cultivator with a heavy sword on his back stepped out. This evil cultivator was tall and burly, with a sinister expression:
"I don’t care if you’re Ye Qingchen or Ye Zhongchen! Hand over the Star Sword, and I might spare your life!"
"What if I refuse?"
Ye Qingchen said with his hands behind his back, smiling faintly.
"Refuse, and you’ll die!"
Saying this.
The evil cultivator took a step forward.
"Wang Yinyang?"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Wang Yinyang, known as the Beheader.
He was bloodthirsty by nature, having killed countless in his lifetime. Anyone who fell into his hands would be beheaded. When he broke through to the Human Immortal stage, he used the heads of a city’s cultivators to build a Human Head Tower. Moreover, Wang Yinyang practiced both internal and external cultivation; not only was he seasoned in Body Refining Technique, but his True Qi was also vast and overwhelming!
Even though he was only at the Human Immortal Second Layer, with such means, he was virtually unmatched among his peers!
Wang Yinyang took step by step forward.
This time, everyone watched Ye Qingchen, eager to see how he would handle this situation!
"Plop!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
When Wang Yinyang was still ten zhang away from Ye Qingchen, his steps suddenly paused.
"Rise!"
With a low voice, he grabbed the sword hilt behind him, and amidst a clanging sound, drew out a gigantic sword. The sword was half a zhang long, with a broad and heavy blade, resembling a wooden plank. Its materials were unknown, but when swung, it brought forth a fierce gale, rustling in the ears of the onlookers.
Yet the sword, which was as heavy as a mountain, became light as a feather in his hands. As he raised the sword, it suddenly whirled, conjuring hundreds of rapid Wind Blades. In mid-air, it swiftly transformed into a colossal tornado, shooting straight towards Ye Qingchen!
"Hiss!"
The tornado skimmed the icy surface, resembling a dragon exiting the sea, raising a vast wave of white mist. Even the icy surface of the Frozen Secret Realm was forcibly carved with a long mark.
This mark stretched from beneath Wang Yinyang’s feet right to Ye Qingchen, almost splitting the icy field in half!
Even from a distance, everyone present could feel the gusty wind cutting painfully into their faces. Many Human Immortal experts showed a look of dread!
This fierce strike was something even a strong expert at the Human Immortal Second Layer dared not face head-on!
"Boom!"
Ye Qingchen stood there, unmoving. With a flick of his finger, the surging tornado exploded on the spot, turning into a gentle breeze, quietly dispersing into the void, not even ruffling Ye Qingchen’s hem.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
By then, Wang Yinyang had already advanced. Each step he took in the void seemed to tread on an invisible stair, causing the space to tremble as if he were stomping on a large drum, echoing thunderously.
Such a fierce and wild posture was like a berserk Ancient Fierce Beast, unstoppable and overwhelming!
The might of it left everyone aghast and pale.
"Slash!"
As everyone was struck with awe.
Wang Yinyang charged up to Ye Qingchen and, simultaneously, leapt up with the sword. Amidst a massive momentum, he slashed down fiercely, unleashing a monstrous sword light!
This ferocious sword light burst forth like a thunderbolt, plummeting from the heavens. Like a pouring galaxy, it swept all before it, ruthlessly slashing towards Ye Qingchen.
The power of this sword was such that even a river eight hundred zhang wide could be easily severed!
Wang Yinyang was confident that even a Human Immortal Third Layer had to retreat before this sword, not daring to withstand its edge. Regardless of how powerful Ye Qingchen was, he couldn’t help but dodge this sword!
"What magnificent swordsmanship!"
"Wang Yinyang’s sword demonstrates the full splendor of his cultivation!"
The eyes of many evil cultivators lit up with excitement.
While in the distance, Shen Yu, Li Chu, and others felt a weight in their hearts, silently worried.
"Can he withstand it?"
Everyone widened their eyes to take a closer look.
They saw the giant sword coming down like a curtain, with Ye Qingchen standing there motionless, slowly raising his right hand to lightly point forward. Amidst the crowd’s stunned gazes, it suddenly landed on the tip of the sword.
"Ding!"
A crisp and melodious sound of metal striking rang out, instantly spreading widely.
A visible gust of wind surged from the point where the sword and finger met, spreading wildly like a giant ring of clouds. Even giant trees and ice rocks hundreds of meters away were instantly shattered.
The Human Immortals watching felt this terrifying force, their expressions changed dramatically.
Deep within the pupils of the crowd.
Time seemed to stand still in that instant, indefinitely elongated. Wang Yinyang’s forceful strike in mid-air suddenly halted. That sword, as powerful as crashing through bamboo, under Ye Qingchen’s fingertip, seemed separated by the Celestial Stream, unable to advance an inch.
As if for a long time.
Or perhaps just a moment.
"Bang!"
To everyone’s disbelief, Wang Yinyang’s giant sword suddenly shattered, breaking into countless pieces on the spot. And under the terrible remaining force of that fingertip, it instantly turned into ferocious arrows, roaring out like a torrential storm, directly into Wang Yinyang’s body.
The sound of tearing, ’pupupu,’ was heard as those sword fragments emerged, stained with blood.
The force attached to the sword fragments struck Wang Yinyang, causing him to lose balance on the spot, flying horizontally for dozens of meters, before he could hit the ground, he was already dead, as dead as can be.
The entire scene fell silent.
No one expected Ye Qingchen to stand there without moving, killing the seemingly unbeatable Wang Yinyang with just a finger.
The expressions of the many Evil Cultivators on the scene changed wildly; they had guessed Ye Qingchen might be terrifyingly powerful, but his current displayed strength exceeded their imagination.
What kind of fearsome power is this?
"Who else?"
Ye Qingchen gazed at the crowd with amusement.
Then, among the Evil Cultivators, an old man stepped forward and coldly said:
"Ye Qingchen, do you truly believe you can take that sword away?"
The crowd heard his words, their gazes turned cold.
Across the Withered Forest, there might be no other Heavenly and Earthly Treasures surpassing this Star Sword. Since they’ve encountered it, even if it costs their lives, they have to fight for it.
"You intend to stop me too?"
Ye Qingchen responded casually.
"Ye Qingchen, hand over the Star Sword, and we will let you leave!" As the words fell, another Evil Cultivator boldly stepped forward, "Otherwise, don’t blame us for killing without caring!"
"Hehe!"
Ye Qingchen suddenly chuckled, lamenting:
"Earlier, I gave you a chance, but none of you could pull the Star Sword from the stele. Now that I’ve pulled it out, you want to snatch it!"
"Truly, faithless and capricious Evil Cultivators!"
The previous old man, hearing this, laughed slyly, staring straight at Ye Qingchen, "Even if you pulled out the Star Sword, so what? This sword was Sword Venerable Yan Shisan’s weapon, and it may not recognize you as its master. With such a Supreme Divine Soldier before us, fighting to the death is worth it, and we might not be weaker than you!"
The old Evil Cultivator’s eyes shone brighter.
"Just you?"
Ye Qingchen swept his gaze across the crowd, slowly shaking his head.
"Whether you’re opponents can only be determined after a fight!" A more robust Evil Cultivator than Wang Yinyang suddenly stood out.
"Ye Qingchen, if you hand over the Star Sword, we’ll turn around and leave, we won’t attack you!" another Evil Cultivator in a Blood Robe said coldly.
"Correct, with so many of us here, you can’t protect the Star Sword! Why should both sides fight until rivers of blood flow, heads roll, and both suffer?"
Some Evil Cultivator spoke playfully.
"Why negotiate with him? Just kill him and allocate the Star Sword ourselves!" A hot-tempered Evil Cultivator couldn’t suppress his greed, roared loudly, and suddenly formed a spell.
Roar!
A massive gray blade suddenly descended from the sky, swiftly aiming at Ye Qingchen. The relentless strike seemed set to split the entire Frozen Secret Realm in half!
"Attack!"
And then.
The old Evil Cultivator also suddenly exuded cold light, taking a step forward. A bizarre skeleton emerged in his hand, which upon appearance, opened its mouth wide and let out a sharp howl.
Almost in that instant.
The watching Evil Cultivators all attacked indiscriminately.
Dozens of Evil Cultivated Human Immortals simultaneously attacked at that moment. Having witnessed Ye Qingchen’s strength, their attacks were lethal from the start, joining forces, leaving Ye Qingchen no room to withdraw!
That kind of attack completely covered the heavens and earth, leaving no space to evade or escape!
The faces of the many Evil Cultivators displayed grotesque smiles, preparing to smash the arrogant young man into dust and then seize the Star Sword.
Shen Yu, witnessing this scene, was almost frightened stiff.
Shen Yue turned pale, Li Chu showed a horrified expression, and several disciples of Taotian Palace seemed equally shocked by the terrifying scene. Yet Ye Qingchen simply smiled lightly, slowly extended his right hand, and gently waved.
In that instant.
As if controlling heaven and earth, reversing sun and moon!
