Supreme Sword God

Chapter 137: Chapter 136: Luring the Snake from Its Lair, Taking a Risk

After killing the Demon Race man, Ye Chen flashed back in front of Qu Xiao.

The two faced each other.

Qu Xiao’s expression was extremely complex.

”I never thought you would actually show up,” Qu Xiao said.

”I just happened to be nearby, luckily I was feeling curious and came over to take a look, and ended up helping out,” Ye Chen said honestly.

He found that Primordial Embryo Realm martial artists were fighting here and wanted to see what was happening, but he intended to just watch and not get involved.

Then he saw Qu Xiao being chased by a Demon Race member, so he intervened immediately.

Qu Xiao: ”...”

This guy is indeed hopelessly clueless.

Even if it’s the truth, was it really appropriate to say it?

Wouldn’t it be better to say you knew I was in danger and came to save me on purpose?

If you said that, I would be very touched and grateful!

As Qu Xiao thought this, she couldn’t help but chuckle.

Ye Chen is just that kind of person, and that’s not so bad.

”Ye Chen, no matter what, thank you for saving me and countless people in Unparalleled County,” Qu Xiao said earnestly.

”Countless people?”

”Yes, the Demon Race wanted to capture me to threaten my father. If they succeeded, the consequences would have been unimaginable,” Qu Xiao explained. Her father is the Prefect of Unparalleled County, leading its army to blockade Demon Suppression Valley, so being threatened is indeed a serious matter.

”It’s no big deal, not worth mentioning.”

”To thank you...”

Before Qu Xiao could finish, Ye Chen quickly waved his hand and said, ”There’s no need to offer yourself; if the Commandery Governor’s Mansion has some elixirs that replenish Qi and blood origin, you can send more to me.”

Qu Xiao bit her lip.

She felt like slapping Ye Chen to death.

I, Qu Xiao, offer myself to you and you refuse?

Pfft!

Who said anything about offering myself?!

Seeing that Qu Xiao seemed a bit angry, Ye Chen was too lazy to think more. Women are fickle; he’s gotten used to it lately, no big deal.

”I’ve been getting injured a lot lately, and my Qi and blood origin have been severely depleted. You can’t see it, but I know it myself, so I need a lot of elixirs to replenish them,” Ye Chen explained.

He had to find a way to solve the issue with his body’s origin.

The Holy Source Grass on Lingyun Mountain might not be obtainable, so for now, regular elixirs to supplement his depleted origin would suffice.

Listening to Ye Chen’s words.

Qu Xiao couldn’t stay angry and nervously said, ”Damage to the origin is a serious matter. From now on, you must be careful and try not to get hurt again... If the depletion cannot be restored, it will affect your future training.”

”Yes, Miss Qu, so do you have any elixirs to supplement Qi and blood origin?”

Qu Xiao looked embarrassed.

”Lately... the situation at Demon Suppression Valley has been so dire, the Commandery Governor’s Mansion’s reserves have run out... I...”

”If you don’t have any, that’s fine. I’ll think of something else.” Ye Chen wasn’t really disappointed, as he was merely asking offhandedly. If there were any, good; if not, it didn’t matter.

”Ye Chen, I will repay your life-saving grace in the future!” Qu Xiao said seriously, then staggered over to the body of the Demon Race man Ye Chen had sliced in half and dug out a two-finger-wide piece of black bone from his head with a knife.

”Ye Chen, since you killed him, the Demon Bone is yours. Cangxing Martial Arts Academy has a long-term mission to exchange Demon Bones for points upon killing the Demon Race. This Primordial Embryo Realm Demon Bone can be exchanged for 500 points.”

Ye Chen was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Killing the Demon Race could get so many points as a reward!

He took the Demon Bone from Qu Xiao and stored it safely.

This Demon Bone was equivalent to killing fifty ordinary mountain bandits from Black Wind Village.

The big boss from Black Wind Village who hasn’t shown up yet is only worth 500 points too.

...

Two hours later.

Ye Chen arrived at Hui Feng City with Qu Xiao.

On the way, they chatted for a while.

Qu Xiao also learned why Ye Chen appeared in that area; he was carrying out a mission for the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy.

Of course, Ye Chen didn’t mention the Feiyang Martial Arts Academy people, keeping it to himself was enough. The fewer people who knew, the fewer risks, not because he didn’t trust Qu Xiao, but out of cautious consideration!

He also didn’t mention the Stabilizing Spirit Bead; as the third boss of Black Wind Village was related to it. To be safe, Ye Chen didn’t say that the third boss of Black Wind Village was a Tier Four Extreme Spirit Master either.

”Ye Chen, I will first go to the Defense Camp in Hui Feng City to recover. Once I’m better, I’ll have to continue to Demon Suppression Valley. Your mission deadline is seven days, and only two days are left now. You should hurry back to the Martial Arts Academy to submit your mission and don’t waste any more time on the road,” Qu Xiao said.

If the mission couldn’t be completed on time, Ye Chen’s basic privileges at the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy would be downgraded to none, and there would be no point rewards for this mission.

Even if he completed future missions, there would also be no point rewards, only a restoration of basic privileges.

The loss would be significant.

Ye Chen nodded and said, ”Miss Qu, take care.”

Qu Xiao was still a little worried and continued to remind, ”According to what you said, the mission scroll has incorrect target information, so the big boss of Black Wind Village who hasn’t appeared yet is probably very strong. Don’t ever think of finding him.

You can already go back to submit the mission; don’t continue to take risks.

I know you have the strength to fight ordinary Primordial Embryo Realm martial artists, but your understanding of the Primordial Embryo Realm is still too limited.

Previously in Celestial Soldier Pavilion, Liu Chuanfeng, who you cut off his arm with one sword, is said to be Primordial Embryo Realm Third Layer, but in fact, Liu Chuanfeng was just showing off his cultivation. His combat power was poor; there were many factors to him joining the Dragon Guard.

And the Primordial Embryo Realm Demon Race you killed also had many coincidences. He was already seriously injured and got careless.

Don’t underestimate any Primordial Embryo Realm martial artist, or you’ll suffer a big loss!”

Ye Chen nodded, then said goodbye to Qu Xiao, and they parted ways.

Watching Ye Chen’s departing figure.

Qu Xiao recalled the scene of Ye Chen standing in front of her fighting the Primordial Embryo Realm Demon Race, and her pale face showed a sweet smile.

”Ye Chen, just keep being like this, and no other woman will fancy you,” Qu Xiao muttered to herself.

Ye Chen’s infuriating personality is simply too perfect.

As long as it stays like this.

Aside from me, who else would fall for him?

No one!

As for the widely spread rumors about Hua Qianxue... There’s no certainty they will cross paths with Ye Chen again in the future!

...

After parting with Qu Xiao, for some reason, Ye Chen suddenly sneezed.

”I’m already at Qi Sea Realm Seventh Layer, and the strongest Tier Two Ultimate Celestial Seal Spirit Master, with a well-tempered sword body... and I still catch a cold?” Ye Chen muttered, then with a thought, he took out the Stabilizing Spirit Bead from the Storage Ring and held it in his hand.

If the mark on the Stabilizing Spirit Bead really came from the big boss of Black Wind Village, he would definitely track me down with it. The opponent might be very strong, but Ye Chen thought he was strong too now and could give it a try!

If they came.

Kill if possible!

If it’s too much, run!

With the speed of the Heaven-Ascending Step, Ye Chen dared to take risks!
