Supreme Sword God

Chapter 551: Chapter 550: He Qiu’s Persuasion, Silver-winged War God

Guo Tian’s body was cleaved in half by a single sword strike from Ye Chen.

The fierce sword aura and the terrifying fire energy directly destroyed the life contained within his split body!

”Ah!”

A piercing scream echoed.

Guo Tian’s spirit fled out in escape.

”Buzz!”

A massive hammer formed of spiritual power suddenly appeared, smashing down fiercely towards Guo Tian’s spirit.

”Boom!”

Guo Tian’s spirit was instantly shattered into pieces.

Ye Chen swung his sword once more, and the blazing sword light engulfed the fragments of Guo Tian’s spirit!

Without sparing a glance, Ye Chen turned and rushed towards another battlefield.

Meanwhile.

Little Phoenix and Mu Qingqing were working together to hold off Qin Hai.

Whenever Qin Hai tried to leave, Little Phoenix would spew flames.

Mu Qingqing’s spiritual mark ability enhanced the phoenix flames, creating a perfect synergy.

Though Qin Hai was strong, his pet beast had died, and he suffered a backlash, leaving him seriously injured. In fact, even if Ye Chen hadn’t arrived, given more time, Little Phoenix and Mu Qingqing could have worn him down to death!

However, now the battle had to be decided quickly.

No one knew when the Celestial Extinction Ancient Tomb might close, and finding opportunities was the priority.

When Ye Chen arrived.

Mu Qingqing and Little Phoenix immediately stopped.

The disheveled Qin Hai looked at Ye Chen and said, ”Ye Chen, our enmity is not deep. It’s not impossible to turn foes into friends now. You’ve already made enough enemies. With my help, your burden would undoubtedly be lighter. Not to mention, there are some prodigious talents from our Yang Province who would still listen to me!”

Ye Chen scoffed coldly and said, ”When I can kill, I never leave future troubles for myself.”

Qin Hai gritted his teeth and said, ”Ye Chen, I can swear to work for you!”

”But...I don’t need it!”

As Ye Chen’s words fell, he charged forward like an arrow, the extreme speed generating a terrifying sword qi that slashed ruthlessly at Qin Hai.

Qin Hai held his saber horizontally in front of him.

”Boom!”

The ferocious force sent Qin Hai flying. His hand gripping the saber exploded into a mist of blood, and the long saber naturally flew out!

Ye Chen lunged forward again, his sword thrusting with a swift motion. With a squelch, the Celestial Mark Sword pierced through Qin Hai’s forehead, sword essence and flames erupting, and Qin Hai’s spirit was directly obliterated.

”Brother Ye Chen, two troubles have been dealt with. Next, there are only Liu Chaoran, Luo Zuo, and Luo You left.” Mu Qingqing said joyfully.

Little Phoenix reverted to its bird form, quietly perching on Mu Qingqing’s shoulder. After all, Ye Chen had instructed that no matter what happened in the Celestial Extinction Ancient Tomb, it was not to be separated from Mu Qingqing.

Ye Chen, holding the unsheathed Celestial Mark Sword, glanced into the distance and said blandly, ”You’ve been watching the show for quite a while, but now there’s nothing left to see. Isn’t it time for you to leave?”

As Ye Chen’s words concluded.

A man’s figure appeared not far away.

This man was handsome, his attire extremely refined, wearing a silk robe with an elegant demeanor, holding a folded fan in his hand.

”It was indeed an impressive battle. Had I not witnessed it myself, I would never have believed that a genius like you could emerge from humble Cangzhou.

It seems that when you fought that fool Luo You outside, you weren’t using your full strength. I’m actually quite curious, just now, did you still hold back?”

The man tapped the folded fan lightly against the palm of his left hand, a smile on his face.

Ye Chen replied blandly, ”If you want to know if I’m still holding back, you can feel free to give it a try.”

The man’s expression changed slightly and he said, ”You have a Tier Six Celestial Seal Spirit Master here as support, and also a pet that seems to possess the bloodline of the divine bird Phoenix. I don’t want to make a fool of myself.

Besides, you don’t need to harbor any hostility towards me.

If I wanted to make a move, I could have attacked earlier, without waiting until now.”

Ye Chen didn’t lower his guard due to the man’s words. This man was from East Desolate City, and he knew neither his character nor his motives.

The man seemed to remember something suddenly and smiled, ”I almost forgot to introduce myself. I am He Qiu from East Desolate City.

Ye Chen, perhaps because of those two fools Luo Zuo and Luo You, you harbor hostility towards people from East Desolate City, but I can assure you there’s no need.

Many people from East Desolate City have been standing on the front line resisting foreign races, and in the last century, they’ve made contributions even greater than your True Martial Hall Main Hall.

Allowing foreign races in was a reluctant step we had to take.

But allowing them in doesn’t mean accepting them, it’s a buffer that our Eastern Domain Human Race needs.

Your Cangzhou True Martial Hall’s Hall Master Shi Fengchun is a good man, admired by many in East Desolate City, but he ultimately lacks a broader perspective.

And you...perhaps influenced by him, also cannot see further.

With your talent and potential, you will undoubtedly go far in the future, so you might as well try to extend your focus as far as possible now.”

While He Qiu spoke.

Ye Chen actually understood everything.

If in another place, he would follow the big picture. He wasn’t arrogant enough to think he could oppose it.

But since the Cangzhou True Martial Hall was determined to fight to the end, Ye Chen thought he could also do the same!

Ye Chen looked at He Qiu and said, ”Some choices are not made based on convenience but on where the heart leads.

I don’t understand East Desolate City or the Eastern Domain, so while I can understand what you say, I cannot agree.

And you also do not understand Cangzhou, so you do not understand Cangzhou’s determination.”

He Qiu’s expression tightened and he said after a moment of silence, ”Standing at different positions, indeed leads to different views. Claiming oneself as right and the other as wrong is biased.

Ye Chen, I intended to offer some advice, but I didn’t expect to learn something from you instead.

One more thing to tell you, a prince named Yu Tianyi from the Silver Wing Race has entered. I encountered him not long ago.

Yu Tianyi’s combat power is strong, he’s already touched the threshold of the Heaven-Reaching Realm.

You killed two fellows from the Silver Wing Race, and now Yu Tianyi is looking everywhere for you.

Additionally.

Yu Tianyi is not the greatest threat, the one who came along with him, Yu Zhan, poses even more danger.

This Yu Zhan, though not of the Silver-winged Royal Race, holds a status in the Silver Wing Race not inferior to a prince’s because he is a descendant of their War God. I even think Jiang Hao, who has multiple times killed Heaven-Reaching Realm enemies head-on, is not a match for Yu Zhan.

So, whenever you encounter those two from the Silver Wing Race, be very careful!”

Ye Chen said, ”Thanks for the warning, farewell.”

He Qiu: ”Actually, I can join you. I find you very interesting, and we could become friends.”

Ye Chen said, ”I’m plagued by many troubles, I won’t drag you down.”

He Qiu stood there stunned, watching Ye Chen’s departing figure, muttering, ”The words sounded nice, but why does it feel like he thinks I’m weak...”
