Supreme Sword God

Chapter 135: Chapter 134: Narrow Escape, Hero Saves the Beauty

Ye Chen lay on the ground of the third layer of the Sword Tomb.

Suddenly, the entire space started trembling violently.

This tremor did not originate from within the Sword Tomb, but was caused by a powerful force impacting the cave where Ye Chen was hiding.

When Ye Chen entered the Sword Tomb, the sword-shaped pendant would fade from view, but still existed in reality in the cave. This was why Ye Chen had to be extra cautious every time he entered the Sword Tomb.

Under normal circumstances, if someone approached, Luo Qingyi would sense it. But this time, Luo Qingyi did not notice in advance. Obviously, the force affecting the cave came from a relatively distant location.

”Elder Qingyi, I’m going out to see what’s going on.” Ye Chen quickly got up, made a mental move, left the Sword Tomb Space, and appeared in the cave.

”Boom!”

The ground was shaking, the rock walls of the cave began to crack, and stones were falling down.

Ye Chen immediately used his body technique, dashed out of the cave, and looked toward the direction where dense explosion sounds were coming from.

”There are martial artists in the Primordial Embryo Realm fighting!”

Ye Chen quickly made this judgment.

This kind of fighting movement should belong to martial artists in the Primordial Embryo Realm.

Ye Chen thought for a moment and quietly approached the direction of the battle.

......

”Boom!”

A pitch-black blade light suddenly slashed down. A petite woman held a sword horizontally in front of her body, blocking the pitch-black blade light.

The woman’s body was knocked backward, breaking several large trees in succession, and finally crashed to the ground.

”Pfft!”

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out from the woman’s mouth.

The woman supported herself on the ground with both hands, trying to stand up, but found herself completely unable to muster any strength.

”Heh heh!”

A strange laugh sounded. A man with skin covered in black patterns and pitch-black pupils stood in front of the woman, holding an exaggeratedly dark long knife.

”Qu Xiao, daughter of Qu Changfeng, the Prefect of Unparalleled County. As long as you fall into our hands, Qu Changfeng will be at our mercy, haha!”

”Don’t even think about it! My father won’t be coerced by you. Even if I die, I won’t fall into the hands of you Demon Race people!” Qu Xiao shouted, finally gathering the strength to stand up.

She was covered in blood, her injuries extremely severe, and there was no color on her face.

The Demon Race man sneered, ”Such a fierce woman, even injured like this you can still stand up. But now, even if you want to die, you don’t have the say!”

With that said, the large exaggerated knife in the hands of the Demon Race man swung down heavily toward Qu Xiao.

”Pfft!”

Qu Xiao’s left shoulder was hit by the knife. Half the blade was embedded in Qu Xiao’s shoulder. Qu Xiao’s left hand suddenly grabbed the back of the knife. She gathered her last bit of strength, her right hand gripped the knife tightly and slashed towards the Demon Race man’s arm!

”Swish!”

A slash down.

The Demon Race man’s forearm was sliced off by Qu Xiao.

”Ah!”

Demon blood splattered.

The Demon Race man was furious. His right leg whipped out like a whip, striking Qu Xiao’s abdomen heavily.

Qu Xiao’s body flew sideways dozens of meters before crashing to the ground, and then slid along the ground for another few dozen meters.

”Aaargh!”

The Demon Race man who had his arm cut off let out a beastly roar. He flickered and rushed to Qu Xiao’s side. The remaining hand clenched into a fist, striking heavily at Qu Xiao’s chest.

Qu Xiao, who was lying on the ground, gritted her teeth and rolled on the ground to avoid the Demon Race man’s furious punch. Then she propped herself up with one hand and launched herself up, using her last ounce of strength to escape!

A few days ago, she had just arrived at the battlefront of Demon Suppression Valley and participated in a fierce battle.

Just yesterday, a group of the Demon Race had broken through the human defense line. Qu Xiao led her people to intercept them. Her followers were killed in battle one after another, and she alone fought against three Demon Race members in the Primordial Embryo Realm, killing two in a desperate struggle.

Now there was only one left.

Qu Xiao had long since lost the strength to fight.

However, Qu Xiao stubbornly held up this Demon Race man for over an hour!

Every time she seemed to be at a dead end, she did not give up and tried every way to preserve her life.

During this hour, the image that appeared most in Qu Xiao’s mind was the scene when she sent Ye Chen back to Cangxing Martial Arts Academy and parted ways with him.

Ye Chen had said.

If real danger is encountered, don’t give up easily. Hold on for a while longer, maybe he would come.

At this moment.

Qu Xiao was dripping with blood, her head getting heavier, her speed getting slower, and her steps faltering.

She was nearing her absolute limit.

”Ye Chen, will you really come?”

Qu Xiao murmured.

Then a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Ye Chen was far away at Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, and this was within the jurisdiction of Hui Feng City. The two places were so far apart, how could Ye Chen possibly appear here...

Finally, Qu Xiao lost her balance and fell to the ground.

And that Demon Race man had already caught up.

Qu Xiao held the knife in her hand, placing it at her throat. She would rather die than fall into the hands of the Demon Race.

If she were captured by the Demon Race, then her father would be coerced by the Demon Race!

This kind of thing could never happen!

”Ye Chen, I did what you told me, but unfortunately, you didn’t come.” Qu Xiao closed her eyes, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

At this moment, the Demon Race man shouted loudly, his remaining left hand fiercely grasping. A huge demon claw condensed, reaching for Qu Xiao.

He didn’t want Qu Xiao to die either.

Qu Xiao was the daughter of the Prefect, capturing her alive was of great significance!

At this critical moment.

A sword qi came slicing through the air.

”Clang!”

The sword qi struck the side of the long knife at Qu Xiao’s throat.

The long knife was sent flying by the sword qi.

”Boom!”

Subsequently, another massive burst of sword qi exploded, blasting the black demon claw apart!

”Thankfully, I made it.”

A voice reached Qu Xiao’s ears.

Qu Xiao’s head buzzed as if something had struck it with a hammer.

This voice...

Was...

Ye Chen!

Qu Xiao slowly opened her eyes. She was scared.

Afraid it was just an illusion.

When she saw that figure, not very majestic but unwaveringly determined, she knew it wasn’t an illusion. Ye Chen had really come!

”Ye Chen...”

Qu Xiao called out these two words.

Ye Chen did not turn around, saying, ”Don’t talk, watch me take him down.”

Qu Xiao ceased speaking, quietly watching.

”Just a mere Sea of Qi Realm, trying to play the hero saving the beauty? You’re destined to lose your little life here!” The Demon Race man said disdainfully as he looked at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen said, ”Primordial Embryo Realm?”

”You’ve got sharp eyes. Even if I’ve lost an arm, it only takes one move to kill you!” The Demon Race man laughed, ”But you’re just a small Sea of Qi Realm. It wouldn’t matter if I kill you. If you kneel before me and kowtow a hundred times, I might spare you and take you as my Demon Servant, hahaha!”

Ye Chen shook his head.

”A one-armed waste, one sword strike is enough.”

”What did you say?!” the Demon Race man roared angrily.

Ye Chen sneered, ”Perhaps no one knows, my specialty is slaying demons!”
