Supreme Sword God

Chapter 254: Chapter 253: Reaching the Summit, Get Lost!

In front of Ye Chen, the scene that appeared and the sounds he heard made him feel as if he were truly there, unknowingly becoming one of the black-armored warriors.

His heart surged with intense emotion, as if he were charging into a war where death was certain.

Unafraid even if blood dyes the sky.

Not retreating even if the road is paved with bones.

Using all his strength, sacrificing everything, to fight a world-shaking battle, to carve out a clear and bright universe!

Han Qianshan, who was heading to the mountain peak alongside Ye Chen, turned his head and glanced at Ye Chen who had stopped, thinking to himself, what’s going on?

Now, moving up a level on the staircase is difficult, but he knows Ye Chen’s strength, this shouldn’t be Ye Chen’s limit yet.

Moreover.

Ye Chen’s expression didn’t show signs of being overwhelmed, instead, Han Qianshan felt a sort of determined willingness to face death valiantly from him.

He seemed like a battlefield general; even if no one stands behind him, facing thousands of enemy troops upfront, there remains no trace of cowardice, instead a tragic and mighty ambition to charge forward and slay enemies far and wide!

Han Qianshan’s heart tightened.

This guy Ye Chen, won’t he fight me desperately?

Madman!

Han Qianshan’s pace quickened once more, it’s better to be far from Ye Chen, now it’s team competition, competing with Ye Chen serves no purpose, keeping Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy’s position as the top academy is more important.

The individual competition is the time to compete with Ye Chen!

Ye Chen hadn’t noticed that Han Qianshan had already distanced himself by several steps, he was immersed in that special world, deeply influenced by emotions.

He seemed to follow that black-armored army, charging into the Land of Nothingness.

Then, nothing was visible.

Only the roar of battles and the sounds of fierce combat could be heard!

On the staircase path below.

The eight members from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy and Cangxing Martial Arts Academy had already been caught up by Tongming Martial Arts Academy’s people.

He Xiao, Qin Yi, Jiang Shiyin, the three Mortal Transformation experts, with great momentum, and two others from Tongming Martial Arts Academy are no weaklings.

However, they couldn’t break through for now.

But He Xiao and the others weren’t anxious, not breaking through immediately wasn’t important, because below, increasingly more people were appearing.

The people from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy and Cangxing Martial Arts Academy couldn’t block for long!

At the foot of War Soul Mountain.

Tongming Martial Arts Academy’s leading expert wore a smile.

In his view, Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy’s alliance with Cangxing Martial Arts Academy was essentially cutting off their own retreat.

Once more academy geniuses catch up, the eight from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy and Cangxing Martial Arts Academy would be unable to hold, perhaps all eight would be knocked off the mountain, and even if Han Qianshan and Ye Chen took first and second, it would be meaningless.

This is team competition.

Every member of the team reaching the peak is most important!

In this way.

Tongming Martial Arts Academy could leap from their previous fifth position of Great Zhou Martial Arts Academy to first!

Many people shared the same thoughts as Tongming Martial Arts Academy’s leading expert.

But Xu Changqing, the Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy’s headmaster, was very calm and composed.

He Dong was also not particularly nervous.

Their attention was focused on Ye Chen and Han Qianshan.

Because they believed that after Ye Chen and Han Qianshan competed for superiority, the strength of those two alone was enough to lead their team and turn the tide.

”Han Qianshan is just three steps away from reaching the peak, Ye Chen still has nine steps, he has stopped for a long time, is he unable to hold on?”

”Something’s not right, although Ye Chen previously suppressed Han Qianshan with the help of Ouyang Xiaoling’s Extreme Earth Spirit Seal, his strength is evident to everyone, he shouldn’t unable to move at that position.”

”Perhaps his previous performance was just an effort covered in weakness, forcibly overextending his power, now at the end of his strength.”

”That’s possible.”

The Sixth Prince Zhou Chengqian stood with his hands behind his back, a barely noticeable cold smile appeared on his lips, saying: ”This fragment of the ancient battlefield space contains intense battlefield hostility, seeing Ye Chen, he seems influenced by it, deeply immersed and unable to extricate.

If he can’t come out from there, his soul could be lightly damaged, heavily his mental state could collapse.

Actually.

This battlefield hostility is hard to affect those entering this place, at present, Ye Chen is the only one affected, the reason still lies in the fast-paced improvement, unstable mindset, weak willpower.”

Listening to Zhou Chengqian, many experts suddenly understood, so that’s why.

Ye Chen improved too quickly, mindset couldn’t keep up with power, such a situation is quite normal.

The leading expert from Tongming Martial Arts Academy laughed and said: ”Every genius is very proud, but the prouder they are, the more they need to solidify their foundation, especially in terms of mental state.

Throughout history, countless dazzling geniuses collapsed mentally and fell into obscurity, becoming ordinary, these happenings occurred too often.”

He Dong glanced at Zhou Chengqian, then at Tongming Martial Arts Academy’s leading expert, snorted, didn’t bother to respond.

He knew better than anyone present that discussing resilience of will, none of these young martial academy contestants could compare to Ye Chen!

Ye Chen truly clawed his way out from the brink of life and death!

As for why Ye Chen remained still now, He Dong couldn’t guess, but wasn’t too worried, since things had already come to this point, worrying was useless, what he could do was trust in Ye Chen!

”Buzz!”

Near the mountain peak, Han Qianshan stepped forward once more.

Ahead, only the final step remained for reaching the peak!

Han Qianshan no longer looked back.

No longer caring about Ye Chen.

He was about to be the first to represent Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy reaching War Soul Mountain!

At this moment.

Ye Chen, who had been staying still on a step, suddenly had his eyes gleaming like the vast and profound starry sky.

The images before him vanished, the sounds in his ears quieted.

Ye Chen discovered, a phantom appeared at the summit.

Bloodstained black armor, damaged beyond repair!

A tattered cloak, as red as blood!

This phantom, originally facing away from Ye Chen, suddenly turned back to glance at Ye Chen, then disappeared.

At this moment.

Ye Chen had already activated the Martial Arts True Eye.

The previous scenes and sounds might have been illusions.

But the figure he saw at the end was certainly not an illusion.

However, at this moment, Ye Chen didn’t have time to think too much because he saw Han Qianshan step out with his right foot, about to step onto the final step!

Han Qianshan was about to reach the summit!

All of Ye Chen’s strength surged into his legs in an instant, and he charged upward, launching his final sprint!

Like those Black-armored Warriors he saw in the vision, even if there was death ahead, he was fearless.

As he took a step forward, Ye Chen was surprised to discover that the immense pressure that had been on him on these steps had vanished without a trace.

His speed suddenly became incredibly fast!

”Bang!”

Han Qianshan’s foot landed steadily on the final step.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He had reached the top!

But when he turned to look at Ye Chen again, he found that Ye Chen’s figure was no longer behind him.

”Han Qianshan, I won.”

Ye Chen’s voice sounded.

Han Qianshan turned his head back to look forward.

It turned out that Ye Chen, who had disappeared from behind him, was already standing in front of him.

On the summit.

There was also a powerful figure from the Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy overseeing the order of the team competition.

This powerful figure nodded towards Han Qianshan, confirming that Ye Chen indeed reached the summit first!

Even though this expert was shocked by Ye Chen’s astonishing speed at the last moment, there was no doubt that Ye Chen had rushed all the way up, faster than Han Qianshan by half a step!

At the foot of the mountain.

The experts from various Martial Arts Academies also had looks of incredulity on their faces.

They all saw Ye Chen’s explosive speed in the last instant; it was as if he was walking on flat ground!

The leader from Tongming Martial Arts Academy’s face turned ashen; he had just been mocking Ye Chen in agreement with Zhou Chengqian’s words, and now he felt like he had been slapped in the face!

Zhou Chengqian felt even worse inside.

Ye Chen had also figuratively slapped his face hard.

The dean of Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy, Xu Changqing, sighed slightly.

Although they were at the foot of the mountain, they had heard Ye Chen and Han Qianshan’s agreement earlier.

In this prestigious team competition, the Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy lost to the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy!

”As agreed, let’s begin.” Ye Chen said to Han Qianshan.

Han Qianshan nodded.

In the next moment.

The figures of both of them rushed towards the group of eight from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy and Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, who were being besieged below the steps.

The descent was extremely smooth.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had arrived at the battlefield.

Han Qianshan swung his blade, forcing back several attackers of the Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy.

Ye Chen directly charged to Ouyang Xiaoling’s side.

Ouyang Xiaoling’s combat ability was the weakest in the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy team; her Extreme Earth Spirit Seal was purely supportive.

The two from Tongming Martial Arts Academy, who were not in the Mortal Transformation Realm, were besieging Ouyang Xiaoling, putting her in a precarious situation!

”Scram!”

Ye Chen shouted loudly, sweeping his sword across.

Flames roared, Heaven-Burning Sword!

A burst of fire flew like a sweeping sword, and the two from Tongming Martial Arts Academy flew out like kites with broken strings, engulfed in flames, plummeting toward the foot of the War Soul Mountain!

As Ye Chen and Han Qianshan descended with fury.

The others who were trying to take advantage amidst the chaos to break through stopped in panic and fear.

Sun Siming, the Fatty, Qu Xiao, and Ouyang Xiaoling immediately gathered around Ye Chen.

They had been fighting hard just now and hadn’t had the energy to pay attention to the situation on the mountain.

All four of them looked at Ye Chen with tense expressions.

Ye Chen smiled and said, ”As expected, I will lead you up the mountain!”

The four from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy looked at Han Qianshan, unable to believe it...

Han Qianshan looked down and nodded, saying, ”Sorry, I lost.”

Ye Chen led the team from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy up the mountain quickly.

Han Qianshan led the four from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy, closely following.

Both of them had gained experience, so their speed was naturally fast.

Even if others wanted to catch up, they simply couldn’t.

He Xiao, Qin Yi, and Jiang Shiyin from Tongming Martial Arts Academy followed behind the Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy team; even if they could catch up, they didn’t dare to make a move anymore.

Tongming Martial Arts Academy had already had two people fall from War Soul Mountain... Tongming Martial Arts Academy couldn’t get the extra five hundred points.

A moment later.

Ye Chen successfully led the four from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy to the summit, then had the Fatty and the others sit and recover, preparing for the upcoming individual competition.

Immediately after, he charged down again alone.

He passed by Han Qianshan and the others.

Han Qianshan seemed to guess what Ye Chen wanted to do, saying, ”Is it necessary? You’ve already consumed too much energy now; what about the upcoming individual competition?”

Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, ”Some scores, I don’t like to settle after waiting too long.”

Then.

Ye Chen once again charged down dozens of steps, holding the Celestial Mark Sword horizontally, looking at the three from Tongming Martial Arts Academy who were stopped, and said calmly, ”Either roll down yourselves, or I’ll beat you down.”
