”Really? I don't think so.”
Since he had decided to help Feng Yanrou, Ye Chen wouldn't give up halfway through. Gao Qianhe's technique was quite amazing indeed. Ye Chen hadn't seen any other expert at the level of Astral Reaching realm with such an accomplishment. But, the ultimate goal of a movement technique was nothing but speed. And, with his speed mentality and sword intent equivalent to that of Sea of Soul realm sword artists, Ye Chen's speed had long since attained a freakish realm. Turning around, his figure flickered and shot out, cleaving the air.
Shua!
A blue light streaked across, and Ye Chen arrived before Gao Qianhe, blocking his path.
”How is this possible?!”
Gai Qianhe was astounded. His Image Shift technique was a peak earth grade technique. When operated at full force, any sort of encirclement was meaningless. This was the technique that allowed him to escape death from Feng Yanrou's hands several times. Moreover, an ordinary martial artist would be distracted by his fake and waste time. However, Ye Chen had not only responded immediately, he actually overtook him. How could he not be shocked?
Feng Yanrou was equally astonished and puzzled. Previously, she had no hope of Ye Chen being able to block Gai Qianhe. How could she have guessed that Ye Chen had such exceptional skill?
”Let me see how you'll block me.” Not willing to engage with Ye Chen, Gao Qianhe again used Image Shift technique. His phantoms covered the sky as his true body rapidly transformed into a fake. To precisely locate his real body had become much more difficult.
Ye Chen smiled indifferently. As his soul power covered the surroundings, the former's true body laid bare before him. Ye Chen could clearly see his movements as he moved.
Like before, Ye Chen again appeared before him with his longsword already tucked in his waist.
”Courting death, Mist Rope Blade.”
Gao Qianhe flew into a rage of humiliation, which also contained a trace of fear. He had completely lost in movement techniques. However, that didn't amount to much as long as he could kill the person before him. Then all his problems would naturally be resolved.
Flinging his right hand in the air, a rope-like Zhen Yuan blade coiled out, covering a range of several hundred meters.
”Green Lotus Escalation!”
Ye Chen held his sword as an enormous green lotus covered his body.
Clank Clank Clank….
The rope blade slashed the green lotus thousands of times, but to no avail. The defense of the green lotus far exceeded Gao Qianhe's imagination. Apart from leaving behind a few marks, he gained nothing.
”Damn it! How could this kid be so troublesome?”
Regardless of how stupid Gao Qianhe was, he knew that Ye Chen was no ordinary youngster. Dealing with him in a short time was almost impossible.
”Little brother, you and I have no enmity. Why make things difficult for me? If you let me pass, I'll certainly compensate you generously in future.” Since he couldn't get his way by hard means, he turned to soft means. Of course, he had no intentions of compensating Ye Chen. Once he escaped this predicament, he would make Ye Chen die a nameless death.
Ye Chen said, ”This matter happened because I was not clear about the situation. Why don't you stay here, and we all can have nice chat on who wronged whom. I guarantee you that if you're not the perpetrator, I can save your life and even help you get revenge.”
”Presumptuous! Who do you think you are? Go die!”
Gao Qianhe knew well that he was in the wrong himself, so how could he not escape? At some point, a peculiar long whip appeared in his right hand. From its handle extended out many whips, like tentacles of an octopus. He whipped it towards Ye Chen.
Crackle!
Countless whips streaked through the void, turning the surroundings dark.
”Green Lotus Sky!”
Confronting such a large-scale attack, Ye Chen was about to use large-scale control sword skill, Green Lotus Sky. But, as he saw the air before him being locked, which continually decreased the whips' speed as if stuck in a swamp, Ye Chen no longer retaliated and waited for Feng Yanrou's arrival.
Gao Qianhe almost let out tears. 'Fu****! if not for that powerhouse behind, I, your father, would have skinned you alive even if I had to stake my life for it.'
Shua!
Knowing that he wouldn't be able to deal with Ye Chen in a short amount of time, Gao Qianhe whipped out once, then rapidly withdrew and escaped diagonally, not caring whether his strike landed or not.
The exchange between the two merely lasted two breaths. For an ordinary person, it was quite a short duration, but for an expert of Feng Yanrao's level, it was enough
”Gao Qianhe, let's see where you'll run now!”
A white frost like sword Qi streaked across, brushing past Gao Qianhe's protective Zhen Yuan.
Kacha!
His protective Zhen Yuan froze over, and he retreated a step with eyes full of fury. The distance between him and Feng Yanrou had been reduced to just over a hundred meters.
”Feng Yanrou, you really think you can kill me so easily?”
Gao Qianhe gave up on escaping, as his two eyes brimmed with malice.
Feng Yanrou sweetly rebuked, ”Whether I can kill you or not is my problem. But right now, don't even think about escaping.”
”Then let me see how powerful Misty Snow Nation's most frightening young sword artist of this century is. To kill me, Gao Qianhe, you should prepare yourself to pay the price as well.”
Previously, the reason he'd escaped was admittedly because her strength was too high and he was not her opponent. However, a part of the reason was also that he didn't wish to engage in a desperate struggle with her. He knew if he did that, his conclusion wouldn't be good.
”Snowy Sky!”
Without exchanging any more meaningless words, Feng Yanrou hoisted her longsword. Parting the air, a bone-chilling sword Qi swirled up, forming a sky-shrouding snow flower engulfed towards Gao Qianhe.
