Chapter 984: Chapter 983: Trapping a Bunch of Old Bastards

It was quite obvious that this group of old relics from the Songshan Sect were a bunch of sanctimonious and shamelessly lowly individuals. They spoke in such grandiose and righteous terms but stooped to such disgraceful conduct. These dozens of old fellows have been alive for almost a thousand years, and all were Martial Saints, yet they ganged up on a young martial artist like Ye Tianchen. It must be said that their skin was incredibly thick, so thick they had no shame, nor fear of being ridiculed.

Unexpectedly, just as these old fellows followed Ye Tianchen back to the stone chamber, conjuring their forces to annihilate Ye Tianchen, celebrating and discussing the ensuing calamity, Ye Tianchen’s voice suddenly sounded outside, causing them to be thoroughly startled.

Had they not managed to kill Ye Tianchen? Then who was the Ye Tianchen in this stone chamber? The only plausible explanation was a ”Martial Arts Substitute Skill.” However, such ”Martial Arts Substitute Skills” were rarely used among martial artists, especially against strong opponents. How could Ye Tianchen, under the noses of these dozen-old Martial Saints, have employed this ”Martial Arts Substitute Skill” without them noticing at all? This was what shocked them the most.

”Old relics, come out and meet your death, young master here is waiting for you!” Ye Tianchen’s voice rang out again, filled with an unmistakable tone of provocation.

”When did this little rascal employ the Martial Arts Substitute Skill?”

”With our numbers, we failed to detect it, truly humiliating!”

”No, the boy must be using an unusual Martial Arts Substitute Skill; otherwise, with our cultivation, we could have seen through it at a glance. He must have acquired some kind of secret technique.”

”It doesn’t matter. We must completely obliterate this little beast, or it’s too humiliating, too humiliating...”

The old fellas from Songshan Sect, every one of them was fiercely enraged, trembling all over with anger and their eyes flashing viciously. They assumed Ye Tianchen was killed by them, yet didn’t realize they fell into Ye Tianchen’s trap right under their noses. To them, this was a tremendously shameful matter. If they didn’t kill Ye Tianchen, their dignity would be lost. If they did, the fact they ganged up on him wouldn’t be exposed, which is why they brazenly cooperated to kill Ye Tianchen.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen was hovering high above Songshan Sect, seated cross-legged, with the ”Holy Heaven Prison” suspended over his head. He looked coldly below, having calmed down, unscathed. It turns out that upon charging into the stone chamber, Ye Tianchen had quickly used the ”Martial Arts Substitute Skill,” and combined it with the ”Bone Transformation Skill.” Otherwise, he couldn’t have easily deceived these old relics. Ye Tianchen’s true body had quietly exited the stone chamber amidst the confusion, waiting outside for the old relics to rush out. He planned to use his backup, a plan to kill these old fellows; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of luring them into the stone chamber again.

Bang!

The entire stone chamber shattered as these old fellows charged at Ye Tianchen, causing the earth beneath to tremble and the sky to flash with thunder and lightning. These dozens of old relics indeed possessed formidable power, making Ye Tianchen extremely wary.

”Quake!”

Ye Tianchen’s right hand formed a seal, long prepared, letting the strands of chaos qi from the ”Holy Heaven Prison” crash down on the dozens of Songshan Sect relics charging upward, turning into a magic cube cage, seemingly aiming to imprison these old relics within.

”Little beast, you’ve miscalculated. Although chaos qi is indestructible, you haven’t mastered its use fully, unable to kill us!”

”The same trick doesn’t work on us again, do you have anything new?”

”You escaped just now, but this time luck won’t favor you!”

The old relics shouted provocatively, but Ye Tianchen ignored them, still fully channeling the ”Holy Heaven Prison” to thunder down. He knew it wouldn’t be easy to crush these old fellas but intended to try this strategy nonetheless.

Bang!

As the Holy Heaven Prison descended, what these old relics didn’t expect was, just when it was about to sweep down, after they launched a full-force strike, the magic cube cage suddenly expanded several times. Like a cage encompassing heaven and earth, it enveloped them, and all the power of slaughter they unleashed collided with the chaos qi. Unable to harm them due to Ye Tianchen’s insufficient mastery of power, yet neither could they destroy the chaos qi, as it’s an indestructible essence of the universe, something very few could shatter, certainly not within their capabilities.

”Hmm? You think you can trap us with this?”

”Truly laughable, truly naive...”

”No, look quickly, what is that...”

”Fire, the Fire God Gourd?”

”Not good, we’ve been tricked, fell for that little brat’s scheme, let’s fight our way out.”

When Ye Tianchen saw this group of old fellows attempting to rush out, he immediately bit the tip of his tongue, a stream of life-bound essence blood shot onto the ”Holy Heaven Prison”. Instantly, the Holy Heaven Prison trembled violently, extraordinarily solidified, exuding waves of murderous intent, while in his hand appeared the Fire God Gourd. This gourd was given to him by Tianshuang that time he went to Flame Valley to rescue Dongfang Meng, yet hadn’t had the chance to use it. During the annihilation of the Five Poison Sect, Ye Tianchen disappeared for a few days to use the Fire God Gourd as a backup plan. Unfortunately, it wasn’t used then, but today in the extermination of the Songshan Sect, it finally came into play!

Pop!

The cover of the Fire God Gourd was lifted, Ye Tianchen formed a sealing hand seal, chanting a spell, an incredibly searing flame burst out of the gourd’s mouth, even Ye Tianchen felt a world-burning power, as if the world itself would melt by this flame. This flame was astonishingly intense, forcing Ye Tianchen to fly back to a safe distance, not daring to approach lightly.

Poof!

When the flame erupted from the Fire God Gourd and surged into the ”Holy Heaven Prison”, the entire place was set ablaze. The scene was that of a large iron cage, trapping dozens of old creatures inside, with flames burning everywhere, intending to burn them alive.

”Overestimating yourself, relying on such flames to burn us? Don’t forget, we... Ah, my hand!”

One of the old creatures, taking the lead, rushed forward without a care, trying to extinguish the flame with a palm strike. Who would’ve thought, as his palm contacted the flame, his entire arm vanished instantaneously, spreading upwards. In just the span of a breath, this old creature was utterly destroyed, not even leaving bones behind.

”This... this flame is...”

”Everyone, be careful, this is not an ordinary flame...”

”Could it be... could it be the flames from Flame Valley?”

”What? Flame Valley is so formidable, Martial Saints can only reach the first layer of the Fire Domain at most, and do not dare to linger long. Clearly, these flames can destroy us, they’re not just from the first layer of the Fire Domain. How did Ye Tianchen, this little beast, manage to collect flames from the depths of Flame Valley?”

When that unsuspecting old creature slapped toward the flame and faced swift obliteration within a breath, the rest of the old creatures realized these are not ordinary flames. Given their powerful cultivation realms, ordinary flames burning for seven days and nights wouldn’t damage them. Only the potent and mysterious flames could kill them. The only formidable flames they thought of naturally were those from Flame Valley, a kind of demon fire, unresistable even for Martial Saints.

”A bunch of sanctimonious old creatures, you are vicious and ruthless, I cannot let you out, dearly enjoy the taste of fire from the second layer of the Fire Domain in Flame Valley. It wasn’t for nothing I risked my life retrieving it with the Fire God Gourd!” Ye Tianchen coldly looked down, continually activating the seal to release flames from the Fire God Gourd.

It turns out, when extinguishing the Five Poison Sect, Ye Tianchen considered all possibilities. He’s neither arrogant nor reckless, never marching unprepared into the Five Poison Sect. After all, the Five Poison Sect is an ancient sect, its foundation deeply rooted and unknown in strength. Attempting to eliminate such an age-old sect without preparation was without doubt courting death, extremely dangerous.

Therefore, during those disappearing days, Ye Tianchen ventured to Flame Valley. He thought of the flames in Flame Valley that even Martial Saints couldn’t withstand. With the power of the ”Yijin Jing” and his own physical strength, he barely reached the second layer of the Fire Domain. After some struggles, at the risk of his life, Ye Tianchen managed to collect flames from the second layer of the Fire Domain into the Fire God Gourd, as a contingency, also considered as a powerful killing move. Just that during exterminating the Five Poison Sect, the old creature Du Mie was too formidable, constantly using slaughter techniques. Ye Tianchen had no time to activate the Fire God Gourd to incinerate him, and Du Mie’s mid-stage Martial Saint realm, despite the flames from the Fire God Gourd being able to severely wound him, without proper containment, it was nearly impossible to ’shut the door to burn the dog’. Thus Ye Tianchen simply couldn’t use it, lacking the conditions.

This time, facing the sanctimonious old creatures from the Songshan Sect, Ye Tianchen devised an excellent plan, first luring them into the stone chamber, then using the ”Martial Arts Substitute Skill” to let his true body emerge. Taking advantage of this brief moment to quickly activate the ”Holy Heaven Prison” and also unleash the Fire God Gourd. Now, dozens of old creatures from the Songshan Sect were trapped within the indestructible ”Holy Heaven Prison”, engulfed in a vast flame, with incessant screams of pain and agony. Ye Tianchen coldly watched, these evil men must die, as letting even one out would become this world’s calamity...(To be continued.
