Supreme Sword God

Chapter 85: Chapter 84: Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole, Leading the Enemy to Bite the Hook

The verification of the scores for the freshman hunting event can only continue to be put aside for now.

Fortunately, the scores for the nine Inner Courtyard Disciples have all been announced.

The remaining Outer Disciples are not that important, delaying a few days is not a big deal.

Ye Chen pulled out his sword, which was stabbed into Zhang Xing and Liu Yun. The two were still lying on the ground like dead dogs, barely breathing, with no other signs of life.

Xiao Yuanshan saw it clearly.

Ye Chen had struck ruthlessly just now.

Not only did he injure their bodies, but he also delivered a strong blow to their spirit source.

Even if they recover from their injuries, they might be crippled.

However, Xiao Yuanshan didn’t say much.

The grudge between the Star Spirit System and Ye Chen was not something he planned to get involved in. He casually flicked two pills into the mouths of Zhang Xing and Liu Yun, then let a few Outer Disciples from the Star Spirit System carry them away.

Then.

Xiao Yuanshan announced the scores, saying, ”In this freshman hunting event, the scores for the Inner Courtyard Disciples are as follows: First place, Star Martial System’s Ye Chen, with a test score of 383 points and a reward of 500 points for the first place, for a total of 883 points.

Second place, Star Martial System’s Luo Tian, with a test score of 186 points and a reward of 300 points for the second place, for a total of 486 points.

Third place, Star Pill System’s Yu Hui, with a test score of 170 points and a reward of 100 points for the third place, for a total of 270 points.

Apart from the points, all three of them are granted one entry into the Pure Origin Secret Realm, which they can choose when to enter.”

Everyone present was full of envy.

Especially Ye Chen, who suddenly obtained over 800 points. For a beginner class disciple, this was a huge amount.

Of course, since Ye Chen was now at the Sea of Qi Realm, he couldn’t be regarded as just a beginner class disciple, but having just joined Cangxing Martial Arts Academy for a little over a month, accumulating so many points was very impressive.

Especially since the top three can each enter the Pure Origin Secret Realm once.

That’s a place that only disciples with high-level access at Cangxing Martial Arts Academy can enter, making this reward more valuable than the points themselves.

......

A quarter of an hour later.

Two figures were running at the foot of the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy mountain.

After leaving the academy for a while, the two figures stopped.

Fatty took out fifty low-grade primordial stones from his storage ring and laid them on the ground.

The primordial stones gleamed with a crystalline luster under the sunlight.

”Brother Ye, how about we split these fifty low-grade primordial stones evenly?” Fatty chuckled.

Ye Chen nodded and then sliced through them with his sword, taking away thirty low-grade primordial stones.

Fatty’s mouth twitched.

”Isn’t there still 500,000 taels of silver? You can have it,” Ye Chen said.

Fatty replied, ”Brother Ye, you surely don’t think that Luo Tian guy is really a fool, right? He put in effort for those 500,000 taels of silver. If I don’t give him 300,000 taels, he’ll carry that door-like sword to the Star Pill System and chop me up!”

Ye Chen couldn’t be bothered to care.

After all, Luo Tian wasn’t going to chop him up.

”Brother Fatty, you said there are still survivors from the Bai Family. What’s really going on?” Bringing the discussion back to the main point, this was why Ye Chen had immediately come down the mountain with Fatty after the hunting event score verification.

”Fake,” Fatty said casually.

Ye Chen frowned.

Fatty hurriedly explained, ”How does it matter if it’s fake? As long as we spread the news, aren’t you concerned that the ones who killed the Bai Family won’t come out?”

......

At Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, Star Spirit System, Meng Zitao was extremely nervous as he found his father Meng Changtian.

”Father, there’s trouble,” Meng Zitao exclaimed.

Meng Changtian’s face showed anger as he said, ”I already know. That Ye Chen simply doesn’t take our Star Spirit System seriously, daring to cripple Zhang Xing and Liu Yun directly. Unfortunately, the dean got involved in this matter, or else I would have chopped Ye Chen into pieces already!”

Actually, right after Ye Chen crippled Zhang Xing and Liu Yun, Ouyang Shang had come to the Star Spirit System once.

Ouyang Shang directly exposed the secret actions of Zhang Xing and Liu Yun. Knowing they were in the wrong, Meng Changtian didn’t dare act out!

”Father, I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about the Bai Family!” Cold sweat dripped from Meng Zitao’s forehead as he said, ”Not everyone from the Bai Family is dead. There’s one survivor who might know about our matters!”

”What?!”

Meng Changtian slammed the table and stood up, but quickly realized there was a problem, saying, ”Perhaps someone is using a scheme to lure us out. Let’s observe the situation first before taking rash actions.”

Meng Zitao said, ”Father, I don’t think this matter is fake. Ye Chen has already gone down the mountain, and Yuan Polu along with Liu Meng’Er are staying on the mountain.

If someone really wanted to lure us into a trap, only Ye Chen would do it, and he would definitely have Yuan Polu and Liu Meng’Er accompany him.

Father, this matter must not be exposed. We must resolve it immediately. How about I go down the mountain once to get rid of that Bai Family survivor and, while I’m at it, take care of Ye Chen too...”

While speaking, Meng Zitao made a throat-slitting gesture.

”Father, we can’t hesitate any longer. Anyway, no one knows I have come out of seclusion, everyone thinks I’m still in closed-door practice. It’ll be very convenient for me to take care of this,” Meng Zitao urged.

Meng Changtian thought for a long time, then said, ”Go to Unrivaled County and hire some killers. Remember, don’t reveal your identity to the killers.

This is Bone-Eroding Soul-Devouring Incense. Take it with you, and after the deed is done, if possible, leave no killers alive!”

Meng Zitao’s face showed excitement as he said, ”Father, I will definitely handle this matter well.”

......

Outside Unrivaled County, in a desolate mountain.

Ye Chen sat on a green stone.

At his feet was a bloody person.

The bloody person was facedown, making their appearance indistinguishable.

”Brother Ye, this time I helped you, so you’ll have to help me with one matter in return,” the bloody person said.

The bloody person was Fatty in disguise.

”Okay.”

”Aren’t you going to ask what it is?”

”Then tell me.”

”Forget it, I’ll tell you once you reach the Elemental Wheel Realm.”

”Will he really come?” Ye Chen asked.

”He will!” Brother Fatty replied confidently, ”Meng Changtian is currently claiming that his son, Meng Zitao, is still in seclusion trying to advance to the Tier Three Spirit Master realm, but I’ve already discovered that Meng Zitao has come out.

I sent this information to Meng Zitao through some special means. If he doesn’t come, there’s only one possibility: the person who silenced the Bai Family is someone else.

And if he does come, based on our combined strength, we can definitely handle it.

Because Meng Changtian is being watched, the people from the Star Spirit System can’t be used, so Meng Zitao can only recruit a few average desperados from Unparalleled County, and at most, they’d be at the Elemental Wheel Realm.

Of course, even if Meng Zitao comes, you still can’t get to Meng Changtian, because I’m just a fake bait here, and there are no other witnesses. It can only let you vent your anger.

To bring down Meng Changtian, we’ll have to wait for another opportunity in the future.”

Ye Chen understood Brother Fatty’s words.

Bringing down Meng Changtian wasn’t going to be easy.

”Brother Fatty.”

”Hmm?”

”Thank you.”

”No need to be polite, I’m trading with you, and I need your help with something dangerous too.”

The two of them waited for a while longer.

”Brother Ye.”

”Hmm?”

”I’m tired of lying here, let’s change positions.”

Ye Chen released his foot, and Brother Fatty moved a bit.

Suddenly, Ye Chen furrowed his brows, and in the next instant, grabbed Brother Fatty by the collar and swiftly darted to the side.

Almost immediately after Ye Chen left his original spot, a palm strike descended from the sky, pulverizing the bluestone where Ye Chen had just been sitting.

”Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

Silhouettes shot out, surrounding Ye Chen.

There were six in total, and judging by the aura fluctuations emanating from them, three were at the Sea of Qi Realm, and three at the Elemental Wheel Realm, not far off from what Brother Fatty had anticipated.

”Ye Chen, long time no see.”

An eerie, cold voice sounded as a masked man wearing a black cloak stepped out from a distance.

Ye Chen stared at him. The mask emitted a considerable amount of spiritual power fluctuations, blocking detection. Yet, just by the voice and physique, Ye Chen could determine that this person was Meng Zitao!

”Boom!”

Killer intent surged from Ye Chen.

His raging sword yuan stirred waves of qi.

He had no prior grievances or enmity with Meng Zitao.

However, due to Huang Qinglan, Meng Zitao targeted Ye Chen during the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy recruitment assessment.

In the end, Meng Changtian, standing behind Meng Zitao, also intervened.

They all wanted Ye Chen dead!

Fortunately, Hua Qianxue arrived in time.

After Hua Qianxue left Unparalleled County, Meng Changtian and Meng Zitao never ceased their harassment.

First, people from the Star Spirit System continually targeted Ye Chen.

Then, during the Freshman Hunting Assembly, they arranged for people to assassinate Ye Chen!

Ye Chen remembered all these scores!

”Since Qingyun City, many have sought to kill me, but I’ve survived till now. Those who tried are mostly dead, and for the few who aren’t, I won’t spare a single one. Meng Zitao, do you think by wearing a mask and disguising yourself, I won’t recognize you? Today, it’s either your death or my life!” Ye Chen said through gritted teeth.

Meng Zitao seemed unconcerned about Ye Chen calling out his name.

No one had seen his true face anyway.

The disguise was only to avoid being seen contacting assassins in Unparalleled County.

Once Ye Chen was dead, Meng Zitao planned to eliminate these assassins too!

”Ye Chen, stop dreaming. Today, no one can save you; there’s only one path for you — death!” Meng Zitao coldly commanded, ”Attack!”

The six assassins surrounding Ye Chen immediately sprang into action.

The six simultaneously charged at Ye Chen, unleashing powerful kill moves.

Ye Chen tossed Brother Fatty aside and channeled his sword yuan and qi blood power into his legs, infusing them into several apertures.

Heaven-Ascending Step!

With one step, he traversed several dozen meters in an instant, appearing beside an Elemental Wheel Realm assassin.

Though the assassin was shocked by Ye Chen’s speed, he was quick to react, slashing at Ye Chen’s chest.

However, the assassin’s blade speed was fast, but Ye Chen’s sword speed was faster.

Thunderbolt Sword, overwhelming might!

”Swish!”

The sword light crackled with arcs of lightning, cleaving downwards.

The Elemental Wheel Realm assassin’s body was split in two, suddenly exploding.

One down.

The remaining five assassins were dumbfounded.

Their encirclement hadn’t even formed, and a comrade was already dead...

”Be careful!”

Another Elemental Wheel Realm assassin shouted.

But just as he finished speaking,

Ye Chen appeared beside a Sea of Qi Realm assassin, piercing his head with a sword.
