Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 808: Chapter 808: Truly Wu Chang

Ye Qingchen returned, only to feel that something about Xiao Xiao was not quite right.

But Xiao Xiao was unwilling to speak, and he had no way to force it.

”Forget it, Xiao Xiao is grown now, and there are some things she can solve on her own.”

Next, he was about to head to the Secret Realm, so Ye Qingchen could only put aside concerns about Xiao Xiao.

Just as Ye Qingchen had returned to his room, he suddenly sensed a trace of Demonic Qi.

He didn’t know why, but ever since Xiao Xiao helped him expel the Demonic Qi from his body, he became increasingly sensitive to the Demonic Qi outside.

Ye Qingchen had experience with this sort of thing. He slowly stepped outside.

In the night, everything around became blurred.

Suddenly, from the darkness emerged a figure cloaked in strong Demonic Qi—a tall black-clad figure, shrouded in a black long robe, almost blending into the darkness.

The mask was as dark as ink, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, flashing with a spine-chilling light.

The mask was intricately carved, with faintly visible complex runes and bizarre patterns, as if it held endless secrets and horrors.

The black-clad figure’s gloves were also pitch-black, embedded with a few dark red gemstones, gleaming with a blood-colored light in the faint illumination, appearing extremely sinister.

He approached slowly, each step carrying a powerful sense of oppression, the Demonic Qi in the air growing denser, as if the whole space was dominated by his presence.

Moreover, his aura was cold and eerie, provoking a deep sense of fear.

Ye Qingchen’s gaze was sharp, calmly watching the black-clad figure before him, with a hint of wariness in his tone: ”Who are you?”

The black-clad figure did not answer, instead launching an attack directly.

His movements were swift as the wind, his fist laden with strong Demonic Qi, striking straight at Ye Qingchen’s face.

There was a flicker of cold light in Ye Qingchen’s eyes, swiftly dodging sideways, at the same time countering with a palm strike towards the black-clad figure’s chest.

The black-clad figure nimbly evaded Ye Qingchen’s counterattack, his form unpredictable as a ghost. His attacks were fierce and swift, every move carrying a lethal threat.

Although Ye Qingchen was a bit caught off guard by the sudden attack, he quickly adjusted his mindset, responding calmly.

”Who exactly are you? Why attack me? And the previous incident with Zheng Xiao, you had something to do with that, didn’t you?” Ye Qingchen asked again, trying to glean some information from the opponent’s responses.

However, the black-clad figure remained silent, only those cold eyes behind the mask continued to gaze coolly at Ye Qingchen.

His attacks grew more ferocious, his punches stirring winds, the air filled with a faint scent of blood.

Ye Qingchen stopped asking further, focusing all his energy on dealing with the black-clad figure’s attacks. His movement technique was agile, his moves clean and efficient, every defense and counterattack perfectly executed.

Despite the black-clad figure’s extremely fierce attacks, Ye Qingchen maintained his composure, not revealing a single flaw.

The two engaged in an intense combat in the dark, punches and palm winds intertwined, the air saturated with tension.

Although confused, Ye Qingchen knew that the most important thing now was to deal with the person before him first, and then explore the truth behind it all.

The black-clad figure’s Demonic Qi intensified, his whole being transformed into a shadow of menace and terror, yet Ye Qingchen stood like an unyielding mountain, confronting him calmly and steadily.

With Ye Qingchen’s increased strength, he could smoothly resolve each perilous attack, no matter how boundless his opponent’s Demonic Qi was.

The battle between the two entered a white-hot phase, the black-clad figure’s attacks grew fiercer, and Ye Qingchen fought back relentlessly, each counterattack filled with power and resolve.

The black-clad figure swung his Demonic Qi-laden fists, aiming for Ye Qingchen’s vital points, while Ye Qingchen deftly dodged, each counterattack executed with precision.

Suddenly, Ye Qingchen spotted a flaw. He swiftly sidestepped the black-clad figure’s attack, simultaneously delivering a palm strike fiercely toward the figure’s mask.

The black-clad figure clearly did not anticipate Ye Qingchen’s sudden change in tactics, unable to evade in time, the mask was sent flying by the palm strike.

The mask fell to the ground with a crisp sound. The true face of the black-clad figure was revealed to Ye Qingchen.

It turned out to be Wu Chang!

His expression was stern and pale, his brows exuded deep hatred and unwillingness, his eyes flickering with cold light.

Ye Qingchen was momentarily stunned, exclaiming in disbelief: ”Wu Chang! It really is you!”

It seems that Zheng Xiao was right all along.

Initially, he had thought Zheng Xiao was just talking nonsense, after all, with all his cultivation abolished, entering the Xue Family was supposed to be extremely difficult.

But now, not only had he come here, he possessed such strong Demonic Qi.

Someone must be assisting him behind the scenes!

Whether it was people of the Xue Family or others, that was unclear.

Wu Chang’s lips curled into a smirk, his voice deep and filled with resentment: ”Ye Qingchen, did not expect it, did you? It’s me. You ruined everything I had, today I’m here to take your life!”

Wu Chang initially intended to wait for Xue Wei to take action.

But Ye Qingchen was gearing up to enter the Secret Realm to obtain the Buddha’s Relic, and that damned Xue Wei still hadn’t made a move.

Wu Chang couldn’t wait any longer, so he had to act first himself!

Ye Qingchen smirked slightly: ”Wu Chang, you brought this upon yourself. If it weren’t for you wanting to kill me, I wouldn’t be opposed to you. You should look within for the reasons this has happened and stop blaming me for it.”

”Wu Chang, given how things have escalated today, you probably have no way back. Wuji Immortal Palace will not take you back, and you will have to carry this Demonic Qi and suffer for the rest of your life!” Ye Qingchen said calmly, with a flash of mockery in his eyes.

Wu Chang’s eyes burned with raging fury, dripping with hatred in his voice: ”Stop pretending! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have become like this! Today, I’ll end you!”

With that, Wu Chang launched another attack, his movements even more swift, both hands gathering intense Demonic Qi, targeting Ye Qingchen’s vital points. Ye Qingchen said no more, focusing all his energy on countering Wu Chang’s frenzied offensive.

The two continued their fierce battle in the darkness, fists and palms intermingling, with the air thick with tension.

Ye Qingchen knew that Wu Chang had been consumed by hatred, coupled with the enhancement of Demonic Qi, he wouldn’t give up easily.

To end this battle, he must give his all, not only to protect himself but also to find a way to deal with Wu Chang once and for all.

Every one of Ye Qingchen’s attacks was filled with powerful energy, he adeptly dodged Wu Chang’s Demonic Qi attacks, seizing opportunities for rapid counterattacks.

Wu Chang’s rage made his attacks even more fierce, but it also caused flaws in his actions.

After a violent clash, Ye Qingchen seized the opportunity, quickly striking with a palm to Wu Chang’s chest.

Wu Chang was knocked back several steps by that blow, his face growing paler, yet the hatred in his eyes remained undiminished.
