Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Utterly Crushing the Opponent

”If you’re in such a hurry to get beaten, then I’ll oblige you!”

With a cold laugh, Feng Xingpo watched Ye Qingchen as the phantom of an orchid materialized behind him once again.

Ye Qingchen was aware of his opponent’s Orchid Martial Soul, but he didn’t dodge or flee. Instead, the moment countless pollen grains struck him, the Fen Tian Earth Fire erupted from his body!

BOOM!

The overwhelming flames instantly incinerated the countless pollen grains into nothingness!

Perhaps these attacks from a cultivator at the First Layer of the Martial Soul Realm might have troubled Li Qingfeng at the Eighth Layer, but they were utterly useless against Ye Qingchen, who possessed the Fen Tian Earth Fire. If Ye Qingchen hadn’t given him the opportunity, that pollen wouldn’t have even gotten close.

Seeing his usually invincible Orchid Martial Soul fail to inflict any substantial harm on Ye Qingchen, Feng Xingpo was immensely astonished and immediately shed his disdainful attitude.

”Xiao Xiao, this Feng Xingpo is a genuine Ninth-Layer Martial Soul Realm practitioner. I’m afraid your young master is going to lose.” Ling Xiaoyu watched the battle on the platform. He was surprised that Ye Qingchen could block Feng Xingpo’s Martial Soul attack but was still doubtful that Ye Qingchen could win.

Xiao Xiao remained silent, choosing to ignore Ling Xiaoyu.

In Xiao Xiao’s heart, if her young master couldn’t even defeat Feng Xingpo, she would definitely start to suspect that someone was impersonating him!

Feng Xingpo recalled his Orchid Martial Soul and took out a folding fan from his robes. With a slight flick, a fierce wind suddenly arose.

”That’s a superior-grade spiritual artifact! Sect Leader Feng is actually using a superior-grade spiritual artifact against an opponent at the Fourth Layer of the Martial Soul Realm. It seems he’s about to get serious!”

The spectators below the platform couldn’t help but exclaim when they saw Feng Xingpo produce the folding fan. Feng Xingpo’s cultivation realm was already far higher than Ye Qingchen’s. Now that he was also wielding a superior-grade spiritual artifact, how could Ye Qingchen possibly defend himself?

”Kid, I advise you to jump off the platform yourself. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee you’ll survive this next move!” Feng Xingpo said to Ye Qingchen with a cold laugh, swirling the folding fan in his hand, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

Ye Qingchen didn’t respond, but drew his Qingfeng Sword to confront him.

”Very well! Since you’re courting death, don’t blame me for being discourteous!”

After speaking, Feng Xingpo waved his fan. Currents of air materialized above it, and with another swing, they transformed into a series of wind blades that slashed toward Ye Qingchen.

This was Feng Xingpo’s signature move, Chaotic Stream Slash! It had reached the level of an upper-Profound Rank Martial Technique. Combined with the superior-grade spiritual artifact and his own immense strength at the Ninth Layer of the Martial Soul Realm, the power of this Chaotic Stream Slash was nearly comparable to a lower-Earth Rank Martial Technique!

As Ye Qingchen watched Feng Xingpo’s attack, the trajectory of the spiritual energy wind blades appeared in his mind. He swung his Qingfeng Sword, unleashing his self-created Wind Blade Sword Technique to meet the attack.

A shocking scene then unfolded before Feng Xingpo’s eyes. His supposedly invincible Chaotic Stream Slash was effortlessly cleaved apart by Ye Qingchen’s strike. Moreover, the remaining Sword Qi continued unabated toward him.

Feng Xingpo even felt that if he were struck by this sword, being split in two was a real possibility.

Greatly alarmed, Feng Xingpo quickly summoned his Orchid Martial Soul again, hoping to use the pollen’s energy to dissipate the Sword Qi. Still feeling unsafe, he held the folding fan in front of his chest to block the attack.

CLANG!

With a clash of metal, Feng Xingpo was sent flying. Even the superior-grade spiritual artifact, the folding fan, now bore a faint sword mark.

This was a superior-grade spiritual artifact, after all! Its toughness was terrifying, yet Ye Qingchen’s sword had still left a mark on it! Feng Xingpo didn’t dare to imagine what would have happened if that horrifying Sword Qi had actually struck his body.

This kid’s got some real skill! That last move... it must have reached the level of a middle-Earth Rank Martial Technique, right? Ling Xiaoyu looked at Ye Qingchen in disbelief. Earth Rank Martial Techniques were incredibly precious. Even within a nine-star sect, not everyone was qualified to practice them. Yet Ye Qingchen came from an obscure one-star sect. How could he possibly have acquired such a powerful martial technique?

Just as Ling Xiaoyu was reeling in astonishment, Ye Qingchen moved again. He unleashed the Earth Rank Martial Technique, Leaf Blade Storm, enveloping Feng Xingpo in countless leaf blades.

Another Earth Rank Martial Technique? With his keen eye, Ling Xiaoyu could tell at a glance that Leaf Blade Storm was extraordinary. However, he could hardly believe that a disciple from a one-star sect could possess two different Earth Rank Martial Techniques!

”See?” Xiao Xiao finally spoke, looking at Ling Xiaoyu with a trace of pride. ”I told you this guy was no match for my young master.”

Ling Xiaoyu shook his head with a bitter smile. I’ve really misjudged him! It seems I’ve been underestimating this Ye Qingchen all along.

The reason Ye Qingchen used Leaf Blade Storm now was to give him a taste of his own medicine. He hadn’t forgotten that Feng Xingpo had used his Orchid Martial Soul to summon countless pollen grains and injure Li Qingfeng. The Leaf Blade Storm could summon countless leaf blades, which was remarkably similar in effect.

The countless leaf blades soon overwhelmed Feng Xingpo, leaving cuts all over his body.

With a flick of his finger, Ye Qingchen made the leaf blades disappear.

Looking at the disheveled Feng Xingpo, Ye Qingchen said expressionlessly, ”I told you that you would pay a hundredfold for what you did.”

Feng Xingpo spat out a mouthful of blood. Although Ye Qingchen’s attack had indeed been powerful, he preferred to believe that Ye Qingchen had employed some sort of Secret Technique. He refused to believe that Ye Qingchen could use such a Secret Technique a second time!

With trembling hands, Feng Xingpo raised the folding fan and said to Ye Qingchen, ”Kid, you’re celebrating too soon! Now, let me show you just how powerful the Ninth Layer of the Martial Soul Realm really is!”

Ye Qingchen shook his head disdainfully. It seemed his deliberate withdrawal of the Leaf Blade Storm had given Feng Xingpo a new surge of confidence. But it didn’t matter if he wouldn’t concede. He would just beat him until he did!

Executing the Mystifying Steps, Ye Qingchen instantly appeared before Feng Xingpo. Just as Feng Xingpo moved to defend, several vines suddenly sprouted from the platform beneath him, binding his hands and feet. He tried to break free with all his might, but Ye Qingchen’s fists were already smashing into his body.

Ye Qingchen used no Martial Techniques, just a simple barrage of punch after punch. Feng Xingpo struggled to break free from the vines, but the intense, racking pain made it impossible for him to focus. Scream after scream tore from his throat.

The spectators below the platform were left dumbfounded. What everyone had expected to be a one-sided battle had become a complete rout, with Ye Qingchen, a Fourth-Layer Martial Soul Realm cultivator, thoroughly dominating an opponent at the Ninth Layer. He was fighting far above his level and utterly crushing his foe!

”Is this kid a monster?”
