Chapter 170 - Heavenly Great Thunder Art
“Don’t even try, today, you’re going to die.”
At exactly the same moment when he let out the word ‘die’, Ye Chen pulled his sword out of the sheath and swung it towards Zhu Lieyang, who was ten steps away from him.
Zhu Lieyang had been preparing for this since long ago; in an instant, he boosted up the fire power contained in his Zhen Qi, which then transformed into a gigantic flame ball, wrapping his entire body. The flame ball was scorching hot, to the point where even a sparkle falling from it burned a fist sized deep hole out of the grassland, raising a dense puff of smoke.
Protected by the flame ball, Zhu Lieyang gained some confidence and thought, ‘I’ve already reached the level nine, the highest level of this Blazing Sun Protective Art. Even if I can’t block his attack entirely, he can’t possibly break my defence so easily either. As for that Multiple Mountain Martial School’s outer Head Elder, he was probably wounded because of carelessness.’
Puff!
A pale blue stream of sword Qi swiftly hacked on the flame ball along with a terrifyingly great power; countless dazzling fire sparkles were released as it collided with the flame ball.
Before Zhu Lieyang realized what had happened, the protective Zhen Qi flame ball was shattered already, and his right arm flew out from his body.
“I’m an elder of the Purple Sun Martial School, don’t you dare kill me! You’ll definitely die as well if you kill me! Our people will chase you till the end of the world!” His face was even twisted because of the sudden and great pain. It was only at this moment when Zhu Lieyang finally realized that Ye Chen was way more powerful than him, and he could never ever fight evenly against Ye Chen. Zhu Lieyang immediately activated all of his Zhen Qi, even temporarily forgetting about his broken arm, in order to turn around and fled at his highest speed; in the meanwhile, he yelled at Ye Chen with a hoarse voice.
“Cut!”
Ye Chen still had an emotionless expression as he released an even stronger stream of sword Qi.
Followed by another puffing noise, Zhu Lieyang’s body was split into two and blood splashed everywhere, dying a huge piece of grassland red.
“You’re defensive power was actually not bad, but still not as good as Hong Qianjun’s.”
Shaking his head, Ye Chen raised his hand into the air and slightly crooked his finger. Along with his move, Zhu Lieyang’s broken right arm flew towards him. The arm was crushed as it simultaneously dissipated in the air; only a storage ring that fell in Ye Chen’s hand was left.
Ye Chen injected his Zhen Qi into the ring and easily crushed the last bit of Zhu Lieyang’s remaining Zhen Qi; when Ye Chen opened the storage space inside the ring, he was immediately dumbstruck.
“This guy is pretty rich!” Ye Chen showed a smile.
Fifty big boxes and thirty small boxes were piled up inside the storage ring. Each big box contained a hundred thousand gold, while each small box contained ten thousand gold; apart from these boxes, a massive pile of low-ranked magic stones were also contained in the ring. Ye Chen roughly measured the pile of stone and discovered that there were at least twenty thousand pieces of low-ranked magic stones, equivalent to eight hundred thousand gold.
The other small stuff contained in the ring were not worth mentioning in Ye Chen’s eyes.
Raising his head, Ye Chan looked back at the Gale City and murmured, “He can’t be the only one sent by the Purple Sun Martial School to kill me, more powerful assassins might show up later, I should just leave here as soon as possible.
Activating the Shadow-Dividing Light Art, Ye Chen moved at his highest speed. In only a few blinks of an eye, he had already moved to miles away, and in another blink, Ye Chen had already disappeared without leaving a trace.
After quite a long while, three human silhouettes darted over. Their moving speed was amazingly high; long and dense purple airwaves were tailing each of them all the way, seemingly magical and powerful.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three people landed heavily on the ground, and a few huge and deep cracks emerged on the grassland from under their feet. One of them was a middle-aged man, who had a gloomy face, another one was a malicious looking elderly man, and the last one was a sturdy man, whose face was covered in dense and thick moustache. Although the three of them looked completely different, the senses of powers released from their bodies were similarly dangerous and fierce.
The elderly man let out a series of creepy laughter and said, “Our speed is almost as fast as the speed of sound, that kid can never run.”
“Let’s just keep moving.”
The sturdy man seemed quite serious, obviously, he was the leader of this small squad. Along with his voice, all three of them leapt up and darted out simultaneously, soon disappearing into the distance.
……
This Great Devil Grassland was ten thousand miles in radius, and was the habitat of multiple kinds of demonic beasts, including many sixth level demonic beasts.
At this moment, a sixth level demonic beast, Black Comb Serpent suddenly showed up and blocked Ye Chen’s way.
“This serpent can move even faster than me, and is even capable of flight with its beast Qi. Fortunately, it’s only a sixth level beast, equivalent to a peak-level medium Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist that I can still defeat; otherwise, today, I would have to make some effort in order to leave.”
Standing still, Ye Chen was silently observing this Black Comb Serpent. It was over forty meters long and lying on the ground with its body coiled, causing it to look like a small hill. Each scale on its body was as big as a human head, and was pure black and shiny. There was a black comb on its gigantic head, which looked creepy and terrifying.
The serpent let out a high-pitched scream. Different from other snakes and serpents, the sounds of Black Comb Serpent was nowhere near to the hissing sounds of normal snakes. Instead, it was shrill and sharp, which sounded like infants’ scream, making people literally sick.
“Highly Condensed Qi!”
Before the serpent made any move, Ye Chen had already launched his first attack. The Dragon Spring Sword was taken out of the sheath as it released a huge stream of sword Qi.
The serpent was immediately infuriated; it swung its thick and muscular tail sideway and bumped against the sword Qi stream, causing a thick layer of grass and soil to be sliced off the ground by its tail.
Before the sword Qi stream could deliver any effect, it was shattered by the strength of the serpent’s tail; it turned into countless small streams of sword Qi and darted toward all directions.
“It’s even more powerful than the Multiple Mountain Martial School’s Outer Head Elder!”
Ye Chen’s expression turned serious. Swiftly, he flashed across the air and only a Zhen Qi silhouette was left on where he was standing.
Puff!
The serpent tail crushed the Zhen Qi silhouette once after it emerged; meanwhile, the real Ye Chen had already risen into the sky, stably trodding on the air as he swung his sword down, quick and clean.
“[Higher than Above]!”
A fierce sword Qi stream darted out while an earth-shaking thunder burst out.
