Supreme Sword God

Chapter 557: Chapter 556: Yellow Springs Water, Bridge of Life and Death

Xuzifeng and Tang Chuan, seeing that they couldn’t persuade Ye Chen, could only sigh helplessly.

”Brother Ye, there is another thing that perhaps we should tell you. Xie Xue is being chased by Liu Chaoran, but we haven’t encountered them ourselves. Another person mentioned it to us,” Xu Zifeng said.

Ye Chen frowned and asked, ”Do you know where they are?”

Xu Zifeng shook his head and said, ”Specifically, we aren’t sure either. The person who told us just happened to see it. It is said that Xie Xue is seriously injured.”

Ye Chen was once more left with a headache.

The Celestial Extinction Ancient Tomb is so vast that he doesn’t know where to rescue people.

Next, Ye Chen parted ways with Xu Zifeng and Tang Chuan.

Following Ye Chen would lead to big problems, and both Xu Zifeng and Tang Chuan understood this.

Ye Chen was also well aware of this issue.

Even if Xu Zifeng and Tang Chuan wanted to accompany him, he would refuse, not wanting to drag anyone down. Moreover, Ye Chen felt that being by his side wouldn’t help. Instead, it would constrain his actions.

Though they were third and fourth on Cangzhou’s Qingyun Ranking, their combat strength among those entering the Celestial Extinction Ancient Tomb was merely average.

Their opponent was Liu Chaoran, East Desolate City’s prodigy, along with Silver Wing Race’s top prodigy.

The only way to resolve these troubles right now is to enter the Celestial Extinction Ancient Tomb’s inner tomb as quickly as possible, seek opportunities, enhance power, and sweep everything clean!

Ye Chen sorted out his thoughts, then continued rushing into the depths of the Celestial Extinction Ancient Tomb.

For two consecutive days, the journey was peaceful without any occurrences.

Ye Chen finally reached the connection between the outer tomb and the inner tomb.

A wide river appeared in front of him, with the sound of the water echoing.

The river water was turbid, displaying a dense earthy yellow hue.

This is the Yellow Springs water, a special arrangement guarding the inner tomb.

On the way to the Celestial Extinction Ancient Tomb, Shi Fengchun had repeatedly warned that the Yellow Springs water in the Celestial Extinction Ancient Tomb is extremely perilous, not to be taken lightly.

Even a cultivator at the Peak of Unity Realm would immediately decay in body and have their soul annihilated upon touching a drop of this Yellow Springs water.

Once in the area where the Yellow Springs water is, you must find the Bridge of Life and Death to cross safely.

No one should attempt to fly over it, because... above the river formed by the Yellow Springs water, there is a force that prohibits flying!

Ye Chen started searching for the Bridge of Life and Death along the river formed by the Yellow Springs water.

The position of the Bridge of Life and Death is not fixed.

Moreover, the so-called Bridge of Life and Death is actually not a true bridge; it’s the transformation of forces within the Celestial Extinction Ancient Tomb.

Sometimes, when the Bridge of Life and Death appears, a large area emerges, with some parts true and some false.

To cross the Bridge of Life and Death, one must have the ability to distinguish; otherwise, a wrong step will lead to falling into the Yellow Springs water below, never to return!

Approximately an hour later.

Ye Chen found three people standing by the riverbank ahead, in front of them were several bridges of rainbow light, resembling rainbows after rain!

These are the Bridges of Life and Death.

”Ye Chen!”

Among the three, one roared with fury in his tone.

Ye Chen’s mouth curled into a strange expression. It really is a narrow path for enemies; he met Su Dongliu again here!

At this moment.

Su Dongliu, filled with killing intent, rushed over.

The other two followed closely.

One of them had always been following Su Dongliu.

The other, Ye Chen had glanced at on the big ship from East Desolate City.

”Huang Yu, help me kill Ye Chen, and I’ll owe you a favor!” Su Dongliu shouted.

The man named Huang Yu’s eyes flickered and said, ”Su Dongliu, it is better to resolve a grudge than to form it. How about giving me some face and reconciliating?”

”Huang Yu, what do you mean?” Su Dongliu’s expression turned cold.

Ye Chen didn’t say anything, although he had said before that he would kill Su Dongliu upon seeing him next time. Before discerning Huang Yu’s background, he couldn’t act recklessly.

If Huang Yu ends up helping Su Dongliu, and if he can’t win...

Well, it’s a given that he’ll kill him, he doesn’t need to rush into it.

Huang Yu chuckled and said, ”Su Dongliu, don’t rush, listen to me first.”

Su Dongliu’s expression turned grim, ”Speak!”

Huang Yu then looked at Ye Chen and said, ”Ye Chen, I’ve learned a bit about your grudge with Su Dongliu, it’s not a big deal. I can now offer you an opportunity to turn enemies into friends, what do you think?”

Ye Chen responded, ”Let me hear it.”

This Huang Yu was clearly a sly fox, Ye Chen mostly guessed what this guy was trying to do.

Huang Yu said, ”Ye Chen, you want to enter the inner tomb too, don’t you? But the appearance of the Bridge of Life and Death is random. If you want to continue searching for it, it might waste considerable time.

But right now, there are ready ones here.

There are five Bridges of Life and Death here. We’ve confirmed that one of them is fake, leaving four for you to try. Perhaps you’ll be lucky and find a real one.”

Upon hearing this.

Su Dongliu’s grim expression changed, and he snorted coldly, ”Ye Chen, if you can find a real Bridge of Life and Death, then we’re even!”

Ye Chen sneered; the situation was as he anticipated, Huang Yu, the sly fox, wanted to use him as a scout!

As for them confirming a fake bridge, it surely cost them a life, no wonder Su Dongliu’s lackey was missing one.

”So, if I choose wrongly, I’ll die, right?”

Huang Yu chuckled and said, ”Choose a Bridge of Life and Death; you might not die and even lose an enemy.

If you don’t choose, you can’t leave here alive either, right?

Ye Chen, I trust you’re smart enough to know what to choose!”

”Fine, I’ll pick a bridge!” Ye Chen said decisively.

It wasn’t anything significant.

If one of those five Bridges of Life and Death is real, it would allow entry into the inner tomb area.

If none of them were real, leaving would be an option.

He might not win against Su Dongliu and Huang Yu combined, but if he wanted to leave, they couldn’t stop him. Ye Chen was confident in that!

Seeing Ye Chen agree, Huang Yu glanced at Su Dongliu and gave a signal.

Su Dongliu said, ”Ye Chen, I’ll do as I said. If you can find a real Bridge of Life and Death, not only will I forget what happened a few days ago, I’ll even help you solve some troubles!”

”Will you kill Yu Tianyi and Yu Zhan for me?” Ye Chen immediately responded.

Su Dongliu: ”...”

Kill your grandpa, those Silver Wing Race guys are way too strong, even Jiang Hao couldn’t handle them...

Despite the inner curses, Su Dongliu suppressed his anger, saying, ”I can try to help mediate!”

Huang Yu also chuckled and said, ”Ye Chen, you need not worry much. With me and Su Dongliu intervening, plus a few other prodigies from East Desolate City, your matter with the Silver Wing Race isn’t entirely unsolvable.”

Ye Chen replied, ”Alright, let’s have a look then.”

Saying this, Ye Chen flew straight over, landing beside the five Bridges of Life and Death. Martial Arts Celestial Eye activated, pupil power unleashed!

Su Dongliu, who flew over, pointed to the middle bridge, ”This one’s fake.”

”Shut up!” Ye Chen scolded, ”I’ll look myself!”

Su Dongliu gritted his teeth in anger, clenching his fist.

But he must bear it!

Right now, they’re relying on Ye Chen to scout the way!
