Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 151: Chapter 151 Deadly Situation

Ye Qingchen charged toward the giant ape leader without a hint of hesitation. He drew his Qingfeng Sword and slashed at it with Sword Dusting the Wind.

The normally invincible Sword Dusting the Wind only left a shallow white mark on the giant ape leader’s body.

This giant ape leader truly lives up to its name as a Level Four Monster Beast! Its defensive power is so immense that dealing with it now will be extremely difficult! Ye Qingchen lamented inwardly.

However, his current goal was merely to draw the giant ape leader’s attention and prevent it from attacking Zhao Jiehui and Hong Yan. So after unleashing Sword Dusting the Wind, Ye Qingchen ran in the opposite direction from his companions.

The pained giant ape leader let out a howl, its gaze fixing on Ye Qingchen.

Although the giant ape leader’s intelligence wasn’t high, it knew Ye Qingchen was the one who had just killed its kin, as he was still stained with the scent of their blood! The ape leader also knew that the painful sword strike had come from this little crawler before its eyes.

The giant ape leader was overcome with fury. Its massive body, over five meters tall, gave chase to Ye Qingchen.

Ye Qingchen didn’t turn back. Seeing that Zhao Jiehui and Hong Yan had already escaped, he inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as I can run a little farther, the giant ape leader won’t be able to pursue Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Sister Hong Yan even if it wants to!

With this thought, Ye Qingchen continued to flee at top speed.

Despite its enormous size, the giant ape leader wasn’t slow at all. Every one of its strides made the ground tremble and shake.

While fleeing, Ye Qingchen kept a close watch on the giant ape leader’s every move. After all, getting hit even once by something with the strength of a Grand Martial Master was no laughing matter.

After fleeing for about ten minutes, Ye Qingchen calculated the distance in his mind. He figured that if he shook off the giant ape leader now, Zhao Jiehui and Hong Yan should be out of danger.

With this thought, Ye Qingchen used the Movement Technique Martial Skill Mystifying Steps. His speed instantly surged, and he widened the gap between himself and the giant ape leader.

Ye Qingchen breathed an inward sigh of relief. Thank goodness I have Mystifying Steps, or I would have been in real trouble today.

Just as Ye Qingchen saw the giant ape leader falling further and further behind and began to lower his guard, a furious shout suddenly boomed from up ahead.

”Ye Qingchen, surrender your life!”

Li Susu? Ye Qingchen frowned, looking at the person blocking his path.

It turned out that Li Zongrui had been keeping an eye on Ye Qingchen all along, just waiting for him to leave the Qingyun Sect to eliminate this thorn in his side. As soon as Ye Qingchen left the sect, someone had reported to Li Zongrui, who then brought Li Susu to intercept and kill him.

With Li Zongrui’s help, Li Susu had already reached the Ninth Layer of the Martial Master Realm. Brimming with confidence, she wanted to kill Ye Qingchen personally to quench the deep-seated hatred in her heart.

Li Susu stood with her sword drawn and spoke viciously to Ye Qingchen, ”Ye Qingchen, you ruined my reputation and killed my father and brother. Today, I will personally slaughter you. Prepare to die!”

As she spoke, Li Susu thrust her sword at Ye Qingchen. He effortlessly dodged the attack using Mystifying Steps, but a glance over his shoulder revealed the giant ape rapidly closing in. Anxiety surged within him. Still, he retorted, ”Li Susu, you really are like a persistent ghost! Your talent for twisting the truth hasn’t changed a bit. How can the Li Family’s actions sound so righteous coming from your mouth?”

Afraid that Li Zongrui would hear Ye Qingchen’s wild accusations, Li Susu didn’t reply. Instead, she continued to swing her sword, trying to assassinate him.

Ye Qingchen also knew this was no time to waste, so he attacked with his full strength from the start, unleashing Sword Dusting the Wind at Li Susu.

Li Susu hadn’t expected Ye Qingchen to be so powerful. The incoming sword technique gave her an unavoidable feeling, leaving her with no choice but to raise her sword horizontally to block the attack.

But how could a Xuan-rank, superior-grade Martial Technique be so easily blocked? Furthermore, with the enhancement from a superior-grade spiritual weapon like the Qingfeng Sword, Ye Qingchen’s strike unleashed a power that Li Susu simply could not withstand.

Just as expected, when Ye Qingchen’s sword slashed down, Li Susu was sent flying backward like a kite with a snapped string. She coughed up blood continuously, clearly suffering from a severe wound.

Ye Qingchen paid Li Susu no mind. If the giant ape leader arrived, it would be much harder for him to escape. So, after striking her down, he immediately took off into the distance.

Li Susu was seriously injured and stood no chance against the ape leader. Ye Qingchen felt there was no need to kill her himself; this troublesome matter was better left to the beast. After all, Li Susu was a True Disciple of the Qingyun Sect. Her death at the hands of a Monster Beast would save him a lot of trouble.

Watching Ye Qingchen flee rapidly, a sense of despair rose in Li Susu’s heart.

She never imagined it. After consuming countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures to finally reach the Ninth Layer of the Martial Master Realm, she couldn’t even withstand a single one of Ye Qingchen’s moves.

The blow to her confidence was immense.

Moreover, she could sense that Ye Qingchen was only at the Seventh Layer of the Martial Master Realm, yet she, a Ninth Layer master, seemed so utterly weak in comparison.

Despair filled her. Can it be that I’ll never be able to catch up to Ye Qingchen in this lifetime?

The overwhelming sense of defeat nearly broke her. However, the thought that Ye Qingchen was doomed to die today brought her some solace.

She comforted herself with a thought. As long as you die, Ye Qingchen, it doesn’t matter who kills you. My revenge will be complete!

”Get back!”

As Ye Qingchen fled at top speed, a powerful palm strike shot toward him. His heart leaped; the force was so astonishing that he felt an irresistible power behind it.

The attack came too suddenly. Since Ye Qingchen was already fleeing at top speed, it was impossible for him to dodge. He gritted his teeth and held the Qingfeng Sword horizontally across his chest to block the blow.

The Qingfeng Sword truly lived up to its name as a superior-grade spiritual weapon. Despite the powerful impact, it protected Ye Qingchen from injury.

”The Qingfeng Sword? How does a brat like you have the Qingfeng Sword?”

The one who had blocked Ye Qingchen was none other than Li Zongrui, the Young Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect. He eyed the Qingfeng Sword in Ye Qingchen’s hand, his voice thick with resentment.

Li Zongrui naturally recognized the Qingfeng Sword; it was one of his father’s personal blades. He had pleaded with his father for the sword several times, but he was always denied. He never imagined that his father would actually give such a precious weapon to Ye Qingchen
