System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

150: Chaotic Sword Domain, First Slash of the NinefoldWithin Wu Huan’s deep-set eyes, greed and killing intent had almost solidified. In his eyes, the gray Domain surrounding Ye Chen that was immune to all poisons was already something within his grasp.

”Left Emissary, Right Emissary, take him down! Remember, I want him alive. This Young Lord will personally deal with him and extract all his secrets!” Wu Huan ordered coldly, planting his snake-head staff into the ground.

”We obey the Young Sect Master’s command!”

The two withered old men at the Ninth Layer Earth Fiend Realm—the Left and Right Poison Envoys of the Witch Poison Sect—responded simultaneously. Their figures flickered, one to the left and one to the right, locking onto Ye Chen in a pincer formation. The Left Emissary’s hands were as black as ink, while the Right Emissary’s fingernails glowed with a faint blue light. Both had practiced poison palm techniques for decades; even before their Protective Aura was released, a dizzying, sickly-sweet wind from their palms already rushed toward him!

”Boy, to have the two of us join forces is enough for you to be proud!” The Left Emissary chuckled raspily, his figure drifting closer like a ghost. A pitch-black palm silently pressed toward the back of Ye Chen’s heart. Wherever the palm wind passed, even the air hissed with corrosion—the Mysterious Yin Poison Fiend Palm!

Simultaneously, the Right Emissary moved. He struck out with successive palms, layers of faint blue palm shadows overlapping like surging waves, sealing off all of Ye Chen’s evasion routes. Within the palm shadows, tiny blue glints flickered; those were concentrated poison aura needles—the Thousand Poison Blue Wave Hand!

With two Ninth Layer experts joining forces, their poison techniques complemented each other, making their power far greater than the sum of its parts. Even a Cultivator of the same level caught in it would have to temporarily retreat; a slight lapse in focus would lead to being corroded by the pervasive poison.

Su Miaojin turned pale with fright. She told herself that under such an offensive, she likely wouldn’t last three moves.

However, facing this combined attack that would make an ordinary Ninth Layer Earth Fiend change color, a cold, sharp light flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes. He did not choose to clash head-on. Instead, his footsteps shifted mysteriously, and his figure seemed to blend into the surrounding Chaos currents, becoming blurred and indistinct.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

The two poison palms almost brushed past the edge of his clothes. The violent poison Protective Aura corroded two huge pits into the ground, emitting a foul stench, yet it failed to touch even a corner of Ye Chen’s robes.

”What a strange movement technique!” The Left and Right Poison Envoys were both startled. Their Divine Sense had clearly locked onto the opponent, but at the moment the palm force reached him, the target became as slippery as a loach, as if he had completely integrated with that gray Domain.

”This boy’s Domain is peculiar. Go all out and force him to take us head-on!” The Left Emissary, being experienced, immediately shouted through a voice transmission.

The aura of the two surged again. Ink-black and faint blue poison qi rose like two pillars of smoke, dispersing much of the gray-black miasma in the area. Even more fierce and overbearing palm force poured toward Ye Chen like a torrential rain. The palm wind covered a vast range, seeking to break his finesse with raw power.

”It seems that relying on movement techniques alone won’t solve this quickly.” Ye Chen’s mind raced, and Battle Intent rose in his eyes. Having just achieved a Breakthrough, he would use these two old fellows to test his sword!

He no longer evaded. The guixu sword let out a clear, resonant hum as it actively met the Left Emissary’s ink-black Mysterious Yin Poison Fiend Palm. Atop the blade, a hazy Chaos radiance flowed; it looked peaceful, yet it contained a terrifying power that caused space itself to slightly distort.

”Courting death!” Seeing Ye Chen dare to take him head-on, a look of ferocity flashed in the Left Emissary’s eyes. He pushed his palm force another thirty percent; he wanted to corrode this arrogant boy, along with his sword, into bloody pus with a single strike!

Clang!

Sword and palm collided, but the sound was not that of flesh breaking; it was the crisp ring of metal striking metal!

The cruel smile on the Left Emissary’s face froze instantly, replaced by boundless horror! He felt his palm force—that Mysterious Yin Poison Fiend energy capable of corroding metal—rapidly dissolve and disintegrate like snow meeting boiling water the moment it touched the gray radiance of the sword! Not only that, a domineering, deathly Sword Intent that seemed intent on annihilating all things surged up his Meridians. Everywhere it passed, the poison qi he had cultivated for years collapsed, and even his vitality was being rapidly plundered!

”Ah!” The Left Emissary let out a shrill scream and violently retracted his palm to retreat. His entire right arm hung limply, the skin having lost its luster and becoming gray and shriveled, as if all moisture and life had been drained from it!

”Big Brother!” Seeing this, the Right Emissary’s eyes nearly split from rage. His Thousand Poison Blue Wave Hand struck even more frantically toward the back of Ye Chen’s heart.

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Ye Chen spun the guixu sword, the sword momentum drawing a circle as a miniature Chaos vortex emerged at the tip of the blade.

”Chaos Guixu—Heaven-Swallowing Vortex!”

The layers of blue palm shadows and the hidden poison needles were all sucked into that Chaos vortex, failing to create even a single ripple!

”Impossible!” The Right Emissary’s heart and gall were nearly split by fear. This young man’s strength completely exceeded his understanding! Was this really the Earth Fiend Realm Fourth Level?

In the moment his mind faltered, Ye Chen got serious.

”Chaos Sword Domain—Open!”

He gave a low shout, and the three-zhang gray Domain around him suddenly expanded, instantly enveloping the Left and Right Poison Envoys, as well as two other restless Elders at the Peak of the Eighth Layer Earth Fiend Realm! Within the Domain, the light grew dim and the Five Elements were thrown into disorder, as if it had become an independent space of Chaos! A powerful binding force descended, making the Left and Right Emissarys feel as if they had fallen into a quagmire; their movements and the flow of their Protective Aura became sluggish!

”A Domain?! How can he possibly possess a true Domain?!” From the outside, the Young Sect Master Wu Huan saw everything clearly. The composure on his face vanished completely as he cried out in shock. A Domain was a rudimentary form of power that only Tiangang Realm powerhouses could begin to touch!

Under the suppression of the Chaos Sword Domain, the strength of the Left and Right Emissarys was greatly reduced, and for the first time, fear appeared on their faces.

”Judgment!”

Ye Chen’s voice was cold, like the sentence of a death god. The guixu sword rose, and that grand, righteous pale-gold intent of Judgment once again merged into the Chaos Sword Aura, giving the sword light a flavor of trial and termination.

The sword light flashed, first sweeping toward the Right Emissary.

The Right Emissary desperately circulated his blue poison qi to block, but under the suppression of the Chaos Sword Domain and the counter of the Judgment intent, his poison qi dissolved rapidly like snow under the sun.

Puchi!

The sword light swept past, shattering the Right Emissary’s Protective Aura and slicing his body in two. No blood flowed from the wound; all vitality had been annihilated in an instant by the Guixu Sword Intent!

A Ninth Layer Earth Fiend Realm expert had fallen!

”Second Brother!” Seeing this, the Left Emissary let out a grief-stricken roar. Ignoring his right arm’s injury, he burned his lifeblood essence, transforming into a pitch-black meteor of poison flame as he charged at Ye Chen, intending to perish together!

”A deathbed struggle.”

Ye Chen’s eyes were indifferent as he thrust the guixu sword forward simply and directly. At the tip of the sword, extreme darkness reappeared—Guixu Annihilation!

Sizzle!

The poison flame meteor collided with the tip of the guixu sword. There was no explosion, only a silent annihilation. The Left Emissary’s figure appeared before the sword tip; he looked down at the gray sword piercing his heart, his eyes filled with resentment and disbelief. Then, the light in his eyes faded completely, and his body followed in the footsteps of the Right Emissary.

In an instant, the Witch Poison Sect’s renowned Left and Right Poison Envoys were both dead!

The two other Elders at the Peak of the Eighth Layer Earth Fiend Realm, under the suppression of the Chaos Sword Domain, had long since had their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. Seeing the Envoys die, they turned to flee.

”Since you’ve come, then stay.”

Ye Chen pointed his fingers like a sword, and two concentrated Chaos Sword Auras shot out, their speed far exceeding that of the fleeing Elders.

Thud! Thud!

The sword qi entered precisely through their backs. Their figures stiffened, and they collapsed to the ground, their life force severed.

On the scene, only the Young Sect Master Wu Huan remained, his face as pale as paper and his body trembling slightly.

What he relied on most was the Peak combat power of the Witch Poison Sect; however, in less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, they had been slaughtered by the opponent with overwhelming force!

He watched as Ye Chen slowly turned and fixed his gaze back on him. That calm gaze was now a thousand times more terrifying to him than the deadliest creature in the Poison Dragon Swamp!

”You... don’t come over! My father is the Sect Master of the Witch Poison Sect, a Tiangang Realm powerhouse! If you kill me, he will never let you go! There will be no place for you under the heavens!” Wu Huan screamed with false bravado, his snake-head staff trembling in his hand.

Ye Chen carried the bloodless guixu sword, walking toward Wu Huan step by step. Although the Chaos Sword Domain had been retracted, the invisible pressure made Wu Huan nearly suffocate.

”Tiangang Realm?” A cold arc curled at the corner of Ye Chen’s mouth. ”If he dares to come, I’ll just kill him as well.”

Before his voice finished, the sword light rose.

Wu Huan screamed and raised his snake-head staff to block, while simultaneously unleashing several types of life-saving poison mists and Gu insects.

But in the face of absolute power, all of this was futile.

The sword light cut through the high-grade snake-head staff like a knife through tofu, then swept across Wu Huan’s neck.

The Young Sect Master of the Witch Poison Sect, Wu Huan, was dead!

With a wave of his sleeve, Chaos Fire swept out, turning all traces on the scene along with the corpses into flying ash.

Su Miaojin stood to the side, having witnessed the entirety of this brief yet soul-shaking battle. Stormy waves had long since surged in her heart. The Fourth Layer Earth Fiend Realm, slaying two Ninth Layers, two Eighth Layer Peaks, and one Eighth Layer... what kind of terrifying combat power was this!

She looked at Ye Chen’s figure as he stood there after sheathing his sword, and for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

Ye Chen frowned slightly. Continuously activating the Chaos Sword Domain and the Judgment intent had taken quite a toll on him. He looked at Su Miaojin: ”How much further to the Secret Realm entrance?”

Su Miaojin snapped back to her senses and hurriedly pointed to the pond surrounded by three rotting logs: ”It’s right under that pond! According to the map’s records, one needs pure wood-attribute aura or... or powerful force to strike a specific location at the bottom of the pond to open it.”

Ye Chen nodded: ”No time to lose, open it immediately.”

He faintly felt that the chaos ancestral talisman seemed to have a subtle expectation for that so-called ”nine-orifice immortal lotus.”
