Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 972: Chapter 972: Ah San’s Madness

The black-clad man with the Meteor Hammer had nowhere to escape, and could only watch helplessly as the sword blade pierced his throat, blood gushing out.

His eyes were filled with terror and unwillingness, his body falling limply.

After dealing with the black-clad man with the Meteor Hammer, Ye Qingchen swiftly turned around, his gaze locking onto the black-clad man wielding the Longsword.

Though the opponent’s swordsmanship was highly skilled, Ye Qingchen decided to win with speed, resolving to quickly end the battle.

The wood element rapidly gathered in Ye Qingchen’s hand, transforming into vines that quickly charged at the opponent.

The black-clad man with the Longsword saw this and swiftly swung his sword, the sword light slashing toward Ye Qingchen like lightning.

Ye Qingchen’s figure flickered, dodging the sword light, while the vines rapidly grew, entangling the opponent’s legs.

The black-clad man with the Longsword was startled and tried to break free, but Ye Qingchen’s vines quickly tightened, firmly binding him.

Ye Qingchen seized this opportunity, his Longsword thrusting suddenly, the blade aiming directly at the black-clad man’s chest.

The opponent had nowhere to escape and could only watch helplessly as the sword blade pierced his chest.

The black-clad man with the Longsword let out a miserable cry, his body falling limply, his eyes full of reluctance.

The last one was the black-clad man with the dagger, his attacks the most insidious, but Ye Qingchen had already seen through his tactics.

The black-clad man with the dagger saw this and swiftly utilized the Water Element, his body as agile and fluid as flowing water, attempting to find a flaw in Ye Qingchen.

However, Ye Qingchen’s wood element had rapidly gathered, transforming into vines, completely blocking the opponent’s attack routes.

The black-clad man with the dagger was startled, trying to get behind Ye Qingchen, but the vines grew rapidly as if alive, firmly binding him. Ye Qingchen seized this moment, his Longsword thrusting suddenly, the blade aiming directly at the opponent’s heart.

The black-clad man with the dagger had nowhere to escape and could only watch helplessly as the sword blade pierced his heart.

His eyes were filled with terror and unwillingness, his body falling limply.

The bodies of the four black-clad men lay on the ground, and the surrounding forest regained its tranquility.

His gaze swept over the four corpses, confirming they were no longer a threat, and he quickly turned, ready to aid Xiao Xiao.

Ah San approached Xiao Xiao slowly, a cold smile on his face. His eyes glinted with a sinister intent. Although Xiao Xiao resisted fiercely, she had been forced into retreat by Ah San’s Earth Element offensive, her face filled with anxiety and anger.

Ah San said ominously, ”Xiao Xiao, do you still have the strength to struggle?”

Before the words had finished, Ah San suddenly charged the Earth Element, and the ground rapidly rose, instantly trapping Xiao Xiao with an Earth Wall.

Xiao Xiao looked around in panic, trying to break free, but the oppressive feeling of the Earth Wall made it difficult for her to move.

At this critical moment, Ye Qingchen suddenly appeared, his figure flashing by like lightning.

His gaze was cold, and the Longsword in his hand glinted with chill, charging at Ah San without hesitation.

The wood element behind Ye Qingchen rapidly gathered, forming vines that carried endless power, targeting Ah San’s vitals.

Ah San was immersed in his impending triumph, completely oblivious to Ye Qingchen’s approach.

Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of killing intent approaching, startling him to quickly turn around, but it was already too late to completely evade.

Ye Qingchen’s Longsword, carrying fierce Sword Qi, stabbed directly toward Ah San’s chest.

Ah San hastily swung his dagger, attempting to block this stroke, but Ye Qingchen’s attack was incredibly swift, his Longsword slicing through the air like lightning, accurately piercing Ah San’s shoulder.

Blood sprayed out, and Ah San let out a miserable cry, his body knocked back several steps by the force of the Sword Qi.

At the same time, Ye Qingchen’s wood element vines rapidly grew, carrying endless power, entangling Ah San’s legs, binding him firmly in place.

Ah San roared angrily, his body’s Earth Element rapidly circulating, attempting to break free from the vines’ binding, but Ye Qingchen’s attacks had already come like a torrential storm.

Ye Qingchen’s Longsword drew lines of chill light in the air, each strike carrying endless killing intent.

Ah San struggled to fend off, but it was already difficult to handle.

His dagger continuously countered, yet was suppressed by Ye Qingchen’s swordsmanship with no ability to retaliate.

Each collision was a severe blow to Ah San, his complexion growing paler, his movements slowing.

Ye Qingchen’s swordsmanship was like a relentless storm, the wood element’s power constantly surging, the vines tightening, almost crushing Ah San’s bones.

Ah San felt excruciating pain all over, his eyes filled with terror and despair. He never imagined being so helpless against Ye Qingchen.

Damn it, at this rate, it’s all over!

Thinking this, a hint of madness flashed in Ah San’s eyes.

He roared angrily, quickly channeling the hidden Demonic Qi within his body.

His body was instantly enveloped by a dark aura, Demonic Qi spread like a pitch-black fog from around his body. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

The black fog carried a chilling aura as if coming from abyssal magic, sending shivers down one’s spine.

As the Demonic Qi surged, Ah San’s expression became hideous and terrifying, his eyes flashing crimson.

His skin turned dark as if eroded by Demonic Qi, emitting an eerie luster.

Demonic Qi gathered around him, forming black vortices as if endless abysses were about to swallow everything.

The surrounding scenery also changed instantly.

The once lush forest was shrouded in darkness, its leaves quickly wilting as if drained of life.

The ground began to tremble, and black fissures opened in the surface, as if endless darkness was pouring out from underground.

A heavy chill pervaded the air, stifling and oppressive.

The sky turned exceedingly dark, as though a thick layer of dark clouds covered everything.

No light could pierce through this layer of clouds, plunging the surroundings into deep gloom.

Beside the ear came the wailing and roaring of endless winds, as though countless ghosts were mourning and howling.

Ah San’s Demonic Qi grew increasingly intense, his aura becoming violent and fierce.

With a sudden wave of his hands, the black Demonic Qi flooded toward Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao like a deluge.

Where the Demonic Qi reached, the trees wilted instantly, the ground was eroded to black, as though everything was vanishing under the dark force.

Ye Qingchen felt the attack of the Demonic Qi, swiftly channeling his True Qi, the wood element rapidly gathering around him.

His gaze was calm and steadfast, the Longsword in his hand glowing green, the wood element’s power forming barriers to resist Ah San’s Demonic Qi attack.

Xiao Xiao also felt the oppression of Demonic Qi, her face turning pale. She rapidly channeled the fire element within, red flames igniting around her, forming fire barriers in an attempt to fend off the Demonic Qi attack.

The flames and Demonic Qi clashed in the air, producing piercing hissing sounds, as though two powerful forces were fiercely confronting.

Ah San’s laughter in the darkness sounded utterly chilling: ”Ye Qingchen, today none of you will leave alive! I will show you true fear!”
