Supreme Sword God

Chapter 558: Chapter 557: Crossing the Bridge, Foes Arrive Together!

After scolding Su Dongliu, Ye Chen focused his attention, using the Martial Arts Celestial Eye to carefully observe the five Bridges of Life and Death in front of him.

This is not a joke and must be handled with utmost care. Any mistake could lead to falling into the Yellow Springs water beneath the bridge, which would corrode everything that falls in!

Under Ye Chen’s scrutiny, four of the five Bridges of Life and Death appeared to have a faint, illusory quality, but the one on the far left gave him a sense of reality!

”There really is one that’s real!” Ye Chen was secretly delighted.

”Ye Chen, stop wasting time and hurry up.” Huang Yu urged impatiently.

What are you looking at?!

You’re just dragging someone to test your luck and find a path, and you’re dreaming of seeing through the secret of the Bridge of Life and Death? Dream on!

”No need to look anymore; it’s meaningless. None of us can see any clue.” Su Dongliu scoffed.

Ye Chen turned around and said, ”Just about done.”

”Then Brother Ye, please proceed quickly.” The smiling tiger Huang Yu said with a grin.

Ye Chen glanced at the others and said, ”I have one more question!”

Su Dongliu: ”Speak!”

Ye Chen said, ”What if when I’m crossing the Bridge of Life and Death, you attack from behind? I would be dead for sure then!”

”Brother Ye, you can rest assured. Don’t you trust our character?”

The one speaking was Huang Yu, always with a smiling face.

Seeing Huang Yu’s smile, Ye Chen really wanted to punch him, but he held back.

What kind of character do you have? I actually know well.

One is someone who wants me to risk my life to explore the path, someone who would definitely turn hostile and attack immediately if the path is found successfully!

The other is a villain who thinks he has some strength, coming from East Desolate City, and wants to rob me!

”Ye Chen, stop dawdling. When you cross the Bridge of Life and Death, we won’t go up there. Surely you can rest easy now!” Su Dongliu’s temper was starting to fray again.

”You won’t go onto the Bridge of Life and Death, but what if you attack and break the bridge? Wouldn’t I fall then?!” Ye Chen said.

Huang Yu said, ”Brother Ye, you don’t need to worry about that. Unless the Bridge of Life and Death dissipates on its own, no one can destroy it.”

Hearing Huang Yu say this, Ye Chen felt disappointed!

He had been thinking that once he crossed, he would directly break the Bridge of Life and Death.

Just not sure what method could break the bridge, so he had been trying to find out indirectly.

”It’s not impossible to break the Bridge of Life and Death, but it requires Yellow Springs water, which is extremely terrifying. No one has ever been known to control Yellow Springs water after entering the Celestial Extinction Ancient Tomb.”

The guy following Su Dongliu muttered under his breath.

Su Dongliu turned his head and glared at this guy fiercely.

Too talkative!

However, Su Dongliu didn’t dwell on it much, indeed, unless a Saint Realm Powerhouse, no one below the Saint Realm can control the Yellow Springs water.

Ye Chen remained expressionless, but his heart was eager to try!

In a moment, he’ll use the Origin of the Ancient Clan to test it out!

Just as Ye Chen was about to step onto the Bridge of Life and Death, suddenly, two whistling sounds were heard.

Unexpectedly, it was the brothers Luo Zuo and Luo You who appeared.

As soon as Luo You saw Ye Chen, he gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, ”Ye Chen, I thought you were hiding and didn’t dare enter the Inner Tomb! I didn’t expect you to be so bold!”

As he spoke, Luo You’s aura suddenly became violent.

Ye Chen said calmly, ”Huang Yu, Su Dongliu, I asked you to help me kill the Silver Wing Race, but you didn’t have the ability or the courage, so help me kill these two brothers instead. Kill them, and I will continue to help you explore the path.”

Huang Yu’s eyes flickered and said, ”Both Brother Luo, why not do me a favor and let this go with Ye Chen? After all, now that these five Bridges of Life and Death have been determined to have one fake, Brother Ye has volunteered to explore the path, which is beneficial to us. Let’s put past grievances behind us.”

Luo Zuo hummed an acknowledgment and said, ”Luo You, don’t act impulsively. After all, Ye Chen is also one of us from the True Martial Hall. Our conflicts haven’t reached the point where we have to fight to the death.”

Luo You snorted coldly and said, ”Ye Chen, I’ll let you off this time!”

Huang Yu continued to look at Ye Chen and said, ”Brother Ye, could you take a step back as well?”

Ye Chen sneered and said, ”I hope you all keep your promises!”

After saying this, Ye Chen turned around, faced the Bridge of Life and Death, and stepped out onto the real bridge, then advanced quickly.

The river formed by the Yellow Springs water was about a hundred zhang wide. As Ye Chen walked on the Bridge of Life and Death, he did not rush through it quickly but moved carefully, step by step, slowly.

Using this opportunity to observe the mystery of the Yellow Springs water.

However.

Even his Martial Arts Celestial Eye could not see through the secrets of the Yellow Springs water.

”Elder Qingyi, Master Legs, can I get some Yellow Springs water?”

Ye Chen was unsure, so he asked the two elders for advice.

”It’s not a big deal, but it depends on how much of the Ancient Clan’s Origin you have!” Luo Qingyi replied to Ye Chen.

”There’s quite a bit!”

Last time, he acquired a considerable amount of the Ancient Clan’s Origin. Although he used some, the reserves are still sufficient!

On that other shore.

Su Dongliu whispered, ”Huang Yu, do you really intend to let him off this time?”

Huang Yu chuckled lightly and said, ”If Ye Chen cannot find a true Bridge of Life and Death, you won’t even need to make a move; he’ll die in the waters of the Yellow Springs on his own.

Should he really be lucky enough to successfully scout the path, he is of no further use to us—in that case, whether he lives or dies, what does it matter to me?”

Luo You cast a glance at Su Dongliu and said, ”What, do you want to kill him too?”

Su Dongliu said, ”When we were in the outer tomb area, he schemed against me once. That account isn’t settled yet. Unless you two brothers wish to stop me?”

Luo You smiled and said, ”I want him dead even more than you do!”

”Then let’s join forces. This Ye Chen fellow is very cunning. Only by joining forces can we prevent him from escaping!” Su Dongliu laughed heartily!

”Swish, swish!”

Suddenly, two silver streams of light shot toward them at high speed.

Two men with silver wings on their backs appeared by the shore.

They were Yu Tianyi, the prince of the Silver Wing Race, and Yu Zhan, a descendant of the War God of the Silver Wing Race!

Yu Tianyi had a burly figure, his presence utterly flamboyant. His mane of long hair casually draped over his shoulders, dancing even without wind. Within his eyes, a glint as sharp as lightning radiated, and his silver wings emitted a cold gleam. Each feather resembled an unmatched sharp sword!

Despite being far inferior in both stature and aura to Yu Tianyi, Yu Zhan merely stood there calmly, exerting a pressure on Huang Yu and the others that far surpassed that of Yu Tianyi!

”Seventh Prince.” Luo Zuo quickly greeted Yu Tianyi.

Yu Tianyi didn’t even glance at him, responding coldly, ”Luo Zuo, where is my target?”

Even though Yu Tianyi’s tone seemed as if he was speaking to a servant, Luo Zuo dared not show any discontent, replying respectfully, ”Seventh Prince, the person you’re after is currently walking on the Bridge of Life and Death. We were thinking of capturing him to hand over to you, but since he’s scouting the path, he has some usefulness, so...”

”Let him scout the path then,” Yu Tianyi interrupted Luo Zuo.

To kill Ye Chen is to restore the Silver Wing Race’s honor.

Now that they’ve found Ye Chen, killing him is as simple as a flick of the wrist.

But Ye Chen is scouting the path now, which has some utility; no rush to kill.

Having come to the Celestial Extinction Ancient Tomb, Yu Tianyi wanted to enter the Inner Tomb Area as soon as possible, in search of suitable opportunities for himself.

Yu Tianyi scrutinized Ye Chen’s back with disdainful eyes.

However, Yu Zhan, standing beside him, furrowed his brows slightly and said, ”Seventh Prince, I sense a threat from him.”

He said it bluntly without any reservations.

Su Dongliu immediately remarked, ”This Ye Chen indeed holds terrifying potential, but he hasn’t grown enough to pose any threat yet.”

Uninterested in Su Dongliu, Yu Zhan continued, ”Seventh Prince, if he successfully scouts the path, kill him immediately!”

A hint of surprise crossed Yu Tianyi’s eyes.

Yu Zhan, a descendant of their Silver Wing Race’s War God, possessed incredibly formidable power, and he also had the ability of a strong intuitive foresight!

Since Yu Zhan said so, Yu Tianyi had no doubts and nodded, saying, ”If he successfully scouts the path, we’ll attack together, giving him no chance to rise!”

At this moment.

Ye Chen had reached the middle of the Bridge of Life and Death, paused, and turned around to look back.

Once he stepped onto the Bridge of Life and Death, he lost perception of what was happening behind him.

But now, turning back to see, his mouth twitched.

Well, those two from the Silver Wing Race came too.

Yu Zhan, Yu Tianyi, Luo Zuo, Luo You, Huang Yu, Su Dongliu...

The trouble I’ve encountered since entering the Celestial Extinction Ancient Tomb has all lined up neatly!

How I want to take them all down...

Ye Chen turned back again and continued walking towards the other side.

Meanwhile, his thoughts churned rapidly.

Soon, I must sever the Bridge of Life and Death; otherwise, I’m definitely doomed!

At this moment, Ye Chen was secretly circulating the Origin of the Ancient Tribe within his Origin World, transferring all of it out in one go.

As the Ancient Tribe Origin surged within him, Ye Chen felt more at ease, speeding up significantly.

At the opposite shore.

Yu Tianyi and the others all fixated their eyes intensely on Ye Chen’s back.

The true nature of the Bridge of Life and Death couldn’t be determined until the last moment. Even with Ye Chen one step away from crossing completely, they wouldn’t dare to step onto it.

Because, if that final step proved false, triggering it would collapse the entire Bridge of Life and Death instantly.

”Almost there!”

”Get ready. The moment Ye Chen finishes crossing that bridge, rush over and kill him immediately!”

Under the watchful eyes of Yu Tianyi and the others, Ye Chen finally successfully crossed the Bridge of Life and Death!

”Go!” Yu Tianyi shouted loudly, leading the charge.

Yu Zhan closely followed.

Luo Zuo, Luo You, Huang Yu, Su Dongliu, and Su Dongliu’s lackeys all excitedly surged onto the Bridge of Life and Death.

But on the other side of the bridge, just having crossed, Ye Chen suddenly turned around, and the sword essence within him exploded forth furiously, transforming into strands of Sword Qi, and each strand contained a thread of Power of Origin from the Ancient Tribe!

These Sword Qi didn’t attack those rushing across the bridge, but instead shot explosively towards the Yellow Springs water beneath the bridge!
