Supreme Sword God

Chapter 226: Chapter 225: Sword Severing Qin Zhen

As soon as the old and young appeared, Ye Chen knew that these two were coming for him, filled with strong hostility!

When they announced that they were from the Qin Family of the Feiyang Martial Arts Academy, Ye Chen already understood what was going on.

A while back, while on a mission for the Martial Arts Academy, he encountered a group from the Feiyang Academy, and a conflict erupted, resulting in Ye Chen killing them all!

Among them.

Was a descendant of the Qin Family from the Feiyang Academy, Qin Jing!

Obviously.

These two were here for revenge.

Perhaps not even revenge, for aside from Ye Chen, no one else knew about Qin Jing’s death.

Though Qu Xiao didn’t know how Ye Chen got involved with the Qin Family of the Feiyang Academy, she could tell that they came with ill intentions. Since Ye Chen was someone she brought down from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, she couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

”Regardless of what conflicts you have with Ye Chen, this is Unrivaled County, so think it through!” Qu Xiao said.

”Think it through?” The young man from the Qin Family retorted disdainfully, his voice dripping with scorn. ”Our Qin Family’s business is none of your concern; you don’t have the right to interfere!”

The moment he finished speaking.

The young man suddenly charged forward, throwing a punch at Qu Xiao.

The force of the punch was aggressive and fierce, causing the air to boom loudly.

Qu Xiao’s face turned pale, and she immediately drew her long blade!

”Swoosh!”

The blade’s light was like a ribbon, slashing toward the young man’s fist from the Qin Family.

”Boom!”

The blade’s light shattered, and the long blade in Qu Xiao’s hand was knocked flying out of her grip. She stumbled backward, retreating several steps.

The young man from the Qin Family continued to advance, his fist driving toward Qu Xiao with unstoppable momentum.

Just as the fist was about to land on Qu Xiao.

Suddenly.

A clear, sharp sound of a sword rang out, and an exceptionally sharp sword obstructed the space between Qu Xiao and the young man’s fist from the Qin Family.

The young man from the Qin Family sensed a dangerous feeling welling up and immediately retracted his fist.

Ye Chen, who had rushed to Qu Xiao’s side, extended his left hand to support her back, helping her to steady herself.

”I heard you’re one of the top students in the Star Martial System’s advanced class at Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, yet you couldn’t even withstand one of my punches. It seems Cangxing Academy’s deteriorating every generation!”

The mockery from the young man of the Qin Family resounded.

Ye Chen gazed at the young man from the Qin Family, but spoke to Qu Xiao: ”I’ll handle this matter.”

Qu Xiao was anxious. Even though she knew Ye Chen’s combat prowess was formidable, this genius from the Qin Family wasn’t simple, and moreover, there was an old woman of the Mortal Transformation Realm with an unfathomable aura nearby.

But in such circumstances, Qu Xiao knew she lacked the strength to contend.

The old woman from the Qin Family coldly stared at Ye Chen and said, ”Ye Chen, I ask you, my Qin Family descendant Qin Jing came to train within Unrivaled County days ago. Did you encounter her?!”

Ye Chen maintained a calm expression and replied, ”Your Qin Family finding someone is none of my concern.”

”Still dare to quibble!” the old woman shouted angrily, her voice sharp. ”According to the information we have, during that time you were also out on a mission for Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, and your mission area overlapped with the area where my Qin Family’s Qin Jing was training!”

Ye Chen said indifferently, ”And then?”

The old woman’s eyes sparkled coldly and she said, ”My Qin Family’s Qin Jing suffered a tragic fate. We have every reason to suspect you. Now you must come with us and undergo our Qin Family’s Soul-Searching Technique. If you’re not involved, we won’t trouble you any further. But if it was indeed your doing, then you must pay with your life!”

Ye Chen laughed coldly and said, ”Recently, several people have tried to kill me as well. I have plenty of reason to suspect your Qin Family is behind it all. Why don’t you come with me to Cangxing Academy? My mentor likely knows the Soul Search technique too. After the search proves it’s unrelated to you, our Cangxing Academy won’t trouble you either, how about that?”

”You...” The old woman was furious, roaring, ”What a sharp-tongued brat...”

”Auntie, let me take care of him!” the young genius of the Qin Family said immediately, ”They say Ye Chen’s talent in Sword Dao is extraordinary, that he’s a Tier Three Ultimate Celestial Seal Spirit Master who’s achieved Spiritual and Martial Unity, and some even claim he’s unbeatable below the Mortal Transformation Realm. I’d like to see just how tough he really is.”

The old woman’s expression was somber, but she nodded.

The strength of Ye Chen’s talent had become the talk of everyone, with many declaring him invincible below the Mortal Transformation Realm.

But many didn’t agree.

Being invincible at the same level of cultivation was one thing.

But claiming invincibility below the Mortal Transformation Realm didn’t sit well with many in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Ye Chen had killed many at the peak of the Primordial Embryo Realm on the battlefield.

But the Great Zhou Dynasty also had many geniuses in the Primordial Embryo Realm capable of easily crushing those at the peak of the same realm.

This young man from the Qin Family was also at the peak of the Primordial Embryo Realm, having killed so many at that level he’d lost count.

With the old woman’s approval.

The young man of the Qin Family stepped forward, filled with arrogance, his eyes looking at Ye Chen with disdain, coldly saying, ”Ye Chen, listen carefully, I am Qin Zhen, Qin Jing’s older brother!

If you cooperate with our Qin Family’s investigation now, you can avoid some suffering. But if you continue to be stubborn, I won’t show you any mercy!”

Ye Chen couldn’t be bothered to say more.

Back then, the group from Feiyang Martial Arts Academy used innocent villagers as bait, intending to ambush the Black Wind Mountain Bandits, only for Ye Chen to stumble upon it.

Their ambush failed, and afraid that Ye Chen would expose their use of innocent villagers as bait, they tried to kill him as a cover-up.

In the end, most of them died from the counterattack by the Black Wind Village Mountain Bandits. Qin Jing, one of the leaders, was killed by Ye Chen.

They wanted to kill Ye Chen.

Ye Chen killed them.

So Ye Chen felt he wasn’t in the wrong.

He chose not to admit it because the events of that time had become difficult to unravel, and it would be easy for the Qin Family to twist the truth and turn the tables on him.

With the Celestial Mark Sword in his hand, Ye Chen held it aloft, the blade’s edge pointing directly at Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen’s eyes narrowed, a cold light flashing as he said, ”Our Qin Family is always reasonable. I’ve given you the chance to choose, yet you didn’t cherish it. So now let me teach you what it means to know no bounds!”

As soon as he finished speaking.

Qin Zhen let out a loud shout.

”Violent Ape Fist!”

Suddenly, the formidable force within Qin Zhen surged, and a giant ape of over ten meters appeared on him.

The giant ape’s presence was immensely violent, and as Qin Zhen threw a punch, one of the giant ape’s arms followed suit, as if a house-sized fist pounded toward Ye Chen, shaking the air and erupting with booms.

Facing the punch thrown by Qin Zhen.

Ye Chen unleashed a sword strike!

Spiritual power, qi blood, sword power, instantly merged into one!

Now Ye Chen’s cultivation was at the Elemental Wheel Realm Third Layer, close to becoming a Tier Four Ultimate Celestial Seal Spirit Master. His sword body strength had also improved greatly compared to half a month ago. Spiritual and Martial Unity had reached as much as fifty percent!

”Boom!”

Ye Chen’s sword strike shattered the punch thrown by the giant ape’s phantom!

The sword edge drove toward Qin Zhen’s fist.

Qin Zhen’s face changed, and he quickly retracted his fist, wanting to change his move.

The corner of Ye Chen’s mouth curled into a cold arc. In the next instant, a surge of strong spiritual power, carrying a sharp edge, swept out from his sea of consciousness!

Psychic Wave Blast!

In an instant, Qin Zhen felt as if his head was pierced by countless needles, his sea of consciousness about to explode, and his movements froze.

And on Ye Chen’s Celestial Mark Sword, the intent of the Five Elements flowed, and with the Golden Extreme Sky-breaking Sword technique, the cutting speed increased even more!

The old woman from the Qin Family saw what was coming, shouted loudly, and instantly moved to block between Ye Chen and Qin Zhen. Her palm grabbed towards the tip of Ye Chen’s sword.

Almost at the moment the old woman reached out, Ye Chen’s foot flashed with gold, deploying the second layer of the Heaven-Ascending Step, the Vertical Earth Golden Light, bypassing the old woman, his sharp sword continued to slash at Qin Zhen!

The old woman was utterly shocked.

A fierce power rolled out from her body, with the surrounding streets and buildings shattered instantly by this force. Ye Chen’s sword strike was affected somewhat, but it still slashed through with a swoosh, landing on Qin Zhen!

”Ah!”

A wretched scream rang out.

Qin Zhen’s right arm was severed from the shoulder!
