Supreme Sword God

Chapter 763 762: Zhengxiong Manor, Li Zhenʼs Assassination

Ye Chen couldnʼt be bothered to think about how Brother Chun planned to kill the remaining four Saint Realm failures.

With the power of the Sword Array charging through, his strength exploded, instantly killing anyone below the Dharma Realm.

This time, the Hall Master of the Yangzhou True Martial Hall, Li Zhen, sent people to escort members of the Celestial Eye Three Races, and arranged top-tier fighters to guard against Shi Fengchun, but there was no high-level combat strength in the Dharma Realm present.

After all, they thought that having five Saint Realms was already enough!

In fact, if it werenʼt for Shi Fengchunʼs hidden depths, even a Great Saint might not be a match against the siege of five Saint Realms.

Among those five Saint Realms, two had already touched the threshold of being Great Saints, with extremely strong combat power.

Ye Chen charged swiftly through the battlefield.

The group that Shi Fengchun had trained in secret also showed great strength, especially a Saint Realm individual who kept an eye on the entire scene to ensure nothing would go wrong.

In just a brief moment, the battle below the Saint Realm was already over.

Meanwhile, the area where the Saint Realm battles took place had moved into the depths of the void.

”Why so slow? What is Brother Chun doing?” Ye Chen muttered, his figure flashing as he entered the void.

The chaotic law power whipped up waves of air, and Ye Chen didnʼt approach too closely. He activated the Martial Arts Celestial Eye at the periphery.

In the depths of the void,

only Brother Chun and one old guy close to reaching the Great Saint threshold were left fighting.

”Brother Chun is fighting very conservatively today!” Ye Chen muttered.

Could it be that there was still power watching the battle in secret? Was Brother Chun hiding his strength?

But if he was hiding, Brother Chunʼs initial burst had already exposed it!

Or was Brother Chun really injured? Ye Chen shook his head, dismissing that idea. How could there be an injury when it was all just an act earlier!

Just then, in the depths of the void, the remaining old Saint Realmer couldnʼt hold on any longer and was smashed by a punch from Shi Fengchun.

The old manʼs soul shouted in terror, ”Shi Fengchun, spare me once, and I will tell you Li Zhenʼs whereabouts. He has also arrived in Cangzhou...”

”No need!”

Shi Fengchun coldly replied, unleashing a blast of the Death Law, directly shattering the old manʼs soul.

Immediately following, Shi Fengchun flashed to Ye Chenʼs side and said lightly, ”Why arenʼt you cleaning up the battlefield, what are you doing here watching?”

Ye Chen said, ”Brother Chun, your speed in dealing with the opponent is a bit slow.”

Shi Fengchun smiled and said, ”It was quick enough. Five Saint Realms arenʼt so easy to kill.”

”Li Zhen has come to Cangzhou?”

”I donʼt know, maybe that old thing was trying to deceive us before he died,” Shi Fengchun said casually.

Ye Chen said, ”Brother Chun, you could have not killed that old guy and kept his soul. Extracting the real information wouldnʼt have been difficult.

If Li Zhen is really in Cangzhou, thatʼs not good. What if he causes great trouble?

Or, do you already know Li Zhenʼs whereabouts, Brother Chun?!”

Shi Fengchun gave Ye Chen a look, ”Donʼt overthink. Sometimes, things are simple, but the more you think, the more complicated they become.”

”Really?” Ye Chen said, ”Didnʼt you say you wanted to gather some evidence and then go to Yangzhou to kill Li Zhen? But now, you havenʼt left a single witness, making it a case of ʼdeath with no evidence.ʼ”

Shi Fengchun stared at Ye Chen, ”I thought you would leave a witness.”

Ye Chen said, ”I also thought Brother Chun would leave a witness.”

Shi Fengchun said, ”Do you still want the Netherworld Stones or not? If not, Iʼll let them take them away!”

With that, Shi Fengchunʼs figure flashed and he rushed out.

Ye Chen immediately followed out of the void, his intuition telling him that Brother Chun had other plans in mind!

Moments later.

The battlefield was cleared, with a considerable haul of Netherworld Stones, filling two entire Storage Rings.

”Remember, I get thirty percent of the Heavenly Gates you create,” Shi Fengchun said to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen smiled and said, ”Letʼs talk about it when the Heavenly Gates are made. Itʼs not even here yet, and youʼre already thinking about splitting things. Brother Chun, your mindset isnʼt right for big undertakings; you need vision and to consider the bigger picture!”

Shi Fengchun glanced around at the people and said, ”Return and await orders. A great battle is imminent, so be ready.”

With that, Shi Fengchunʼs power enveloped and took Ye Chen through the void.

Approaching Celestial Cyan City, Ye Chen said, ”Brother Chun, Iʼll first go to the Mu Mansion to deliver the Netherworld Stones.”

”Alright.”

Shi Fengchun waved his hand, tossing Ye Chen out.

”Boom!”

A massive pit was created in the ground, and a dust-covered Ye Chen emerged from the pit, gritting his teeth.

”Brother Chun, Iʼll remember this!”

Inside the void.

Shi Fengchun furrowed his brows.

A hint of madness erupted, and Shi Fengchunʼs death energy also surged.

”Choosing to act at this time, Old Ghost Li, youʼd better pray for your luck.” Shi Fengchun muttered to himself and immediately rushed back to the True Martial Hall!

...

Mu Mansion.

Ye Chen once again handed the newly obtained Netherworld Stones to Grandmaster Mu Yi.

Half a month ago, Ye Chen had already given Grandmaster Mu Yi part of the Netherworld Stones. Including the Heavenly Gates initially crafted by Grandmaster Mu Yi, the Mu Mansion now had a total of four Heavenly Gates.

To enter or exit the Celestial Eyeʼs Outer Heaven, two Heavenly Gates are required each time.

One opens the passage.

Another opens the exit.

Ye Chen took all four Heavenly Gates with him, for emergency use.

As for the thirty percent of the Heavenly Gates promised to Brother Chun, it would depend on the surplus later; the first priority was to satisfy his own needs.

Leaving the Mu Mansion, Ye Chen silently sent a bundle of ancient clan origin power into Grandmaster Mu Yiʼs body.

With such pure energy entering his body, Grandmaster Mu Yi only glanced at Ye Chen in slight astonishment before continuing to immerse himself in the creation of the Heavenly Gates.

This made Ye Chen sigh with emotion; having a life ideal and pursuit made Grandmaster Mu Yi truly formidable. In his eyes, crafting the Heavenly Gates was now the only thing left.

...

Cangzhou, Zhengxiong Manor.

The young woman Lin Xiang was learning alchemy from Mu Zhengxiong, known as Cangzhouʼs top Alchemist.

Mu Zhengxiong was very pleased with this disciple.

”Lin Xiang, your alchemy talent is much stronger than this old manʼs was back in the day. When you reach my age, you might already be capable of crafting Saint Pills.

It seems the heavens truly favor us.

My granddaughter Qingqing has pursued the path of the Spirit Master and is constantly following that brat Ye Chen around. I thought my alchemical skills would be left without an heir.”

There was an infinite sense of sentimentality in Mu Zhengxiongʼs tone.

Lin Xiang said, ”Teacher, I will dedicate myself to learning alchemy and not disgrace your name!”

Mu Zhengxiong nodded with satisfaction and said, ”Lin Xiang, I see you have a knot in your heart. Is it because of your grand-teacher Li Zhen? Let go of the past. If this knot is not untied, it will severely limit your growth.”

”Teacher, Li Zhen is no longer my grand-teacher, but... he raised me, and now heʼs committed grave mistakes without repentance. I want to contribute to the Human Race and help lessen his transgressions a bit!

If one day, he has to face proper punishment, I only hope I can stand up and plead for him, not asking others to forgive his sins but just to let him end it all in a dignified way and then allow me to erect a tomb for him.”

Mu Zhengxiong listened to Lin Xiang and sighed deeply.

And just then.

An abrupt change occurred.

A terrifying force descended from the sky, shattering the space above Zhengxiong Manor with a loud boom.

The grand array of Zhengxiong Manor was activated, forming a curtain of light.

”Boom!”

The terrifying force struck the light curtain.

Cracks immediately spread across the light curtain!

Li Zhen, the Master of Yangzhou True Martial Hall, stepped out of the void, murderous intent raging, and shouted, ”Lin Xiang, your life was given by me, and so it shall end with me!”
