Supreme Sword God

Chapter 293: Chapter 292: When the Sword is Drawn, All Things are Cleaved

Ye Chen raised his sword and walked toward the area from which the booming sound emanated.

Not far away, Black Widow opened her eyes, looking at Ye Chen’s back.

The power of the curse within her had been removed, and she felt a tremendous sense of relief.

Moreover, the aftereffects of the Marriage Fruit had also faded away.

Initially, her plan was to kill Ye Chen.

But in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to do it. She pretended to still be recovering because she was internally wrestling with a complex struggle!

Ultimately, she decided to give up on killing Ye Chen.

In matters of detoxification, they both took what they needed and essentially acted as tools for each other. The poison might not have been Ye Chen’s deliberate scheme, and recalling that moment, that pink little fruit was something she had indeed snatched for herself...

Additionally, after the curse’s power within her body erupted, rendering her immobilized, Ye Chen didn’t kill her. Instead, he helped suppress the out-of-control power and even helped her find the seven-leaf seven-flower grass to lift the curse.

This incident might as well be considered a dream.

Anyway, they would most likely never meet again in the future.

......

At this moment, Ye Chen had already reached the barrier area where the booming sound originated. The surface of the Celestial Mark Sword flickered with sword light. Soon, when the barrier was breached, if an enemy appeared, there would be no need for courtesy; he would strike directly!

Ye Chen was gathering his strength.

Four types of forces completed their integration, surging with the technique of overlapping waves. The Five Elements Sword Intent transformed into Yin and Yang. Now, he was in a state where he could unleash his strongest attack at any moment!

Approximately another half a quarter of an hour passed.

Suddenly.

A massive explosion erupted, and the barrier in front of Ye Chen was punched open with a gap.

The moment the gap appeared.

The people from the Thousand Spirits Sect instantly rushed inside. Zhou Chengqian and Li Tianyi also intended to lead their people in, but they didn’t expect the Thousand Spirits Sect to immediately break the bridge after crossing the river. Shen Jie, who deliberately stayed behind, suddenly turned around and punched at Zhou Chengqian and Li Tianyi.

Zhou Chengqian and Li Tianyi quickly dodged.

Shen Jie’s figure flashed and had already dashed into the barrier, and the hard-won opened barrier closed once again.

In terms of killing Ye Chen, Shen Jie felt that the Thousand Spirits Sect alone was more than enough.

The top of Lingyun Mountain was isolated by barriers, and there were bound to be valuable items. Shen Jie and his team planned to monopolize them, naturally refusing to let Zhou Chengqian and Li Tianyi in.

Inside the barrier.

As soon as the people from the Thousand Spirits Sect stormed in, Ye Chen swiftly moved!

After all, having already killed a member of the Thousand Spirits Sect earlier amid such a commotion, it couldn’t be kept secret. Therefore, the Thousand Spirits Sect was destined to be an enemy!

A flash of golden light flickered in the air.

Ye Chen’s figure immediately appeared before the man at the forefront of the Thousand Spirits Sect without any hesitation, striking with his sword.

The sword light, infused with the Sword Intent of Yin and Yang, saw the sun and moon rising within, and the terrifying power slashed directly onto the target.

”Boom!”

The blazing Great Sun and the luminous Bright Moon exploded, causing a prodigy of the Thousand Spirits Sect to disintegrate into ash.

”Ye Chen!”

”He was indeed hiding here!”

”Kill!”

The remaining prodigies of the Thousand Spirits Sect reacted, letting out furious shouts as they attacked Ye Chen simultaneously.

One after another, powerful demon beast phantoms emerged, making the heavens and earth seem like a demonic beast frenzy had occurred.

Ye Chen frowned, and his Invincible Sword stance burst forth, momentarily intimidating these demonic beasts. Another flash of golden light beneath his feet allowed him to escape their attack range, swinging his sword horizontally once more.

The sword light surged like a deluge, wild and unmatched. Another genius from the Thousand Spirits Sect found his head shattered by the sword light before he could react.

Ye Chen knew clearly that these individuals from the Thousand Spirits Sect posed the greatest threat to him. Even having advanced to the Half-Step Primordial Embryo Realm, Ye Chen still didn’t have much confidence.

Thus, only by seizing this current opportunity to catch the Thousand Spirits Sect off guard could as many as possible be killed!

”Looking for death!”

An angry roar rang out.

The prodigy of the Thousand Spirits Sect, Shen Jie, who had previously blocked Zhou Chengqian and Li Tianyi from following, rushed over.

A great roc phantom appeared behind him, spreading its wings at incredible speed, suddenly reaching Ye Chen, with his right hand forming a claw to strike.

Violent primordial energy transformed into a massive, sharp eagle claw.

Ye Chen clenched his jaw, displaying the Myriad Swords Return to Origin technique. Around him, dense Sword Qi appeared, converging into a hundred-meter-long giant sword that slashed toward the approaching eagle claw.

”Boom!”

The Sword Qi exploded with a bang.

Half of the eagle claw was also blown apart by Ye Chen’s strike.

Ye Chen’s body was sent flying backward, crashing into the ground, causing cracks to appear even in the hard earth and rocks of Lingyun Mountain.

But that fragmented eagle claw continued to lock onto Ye Chen’s aura, reaching toward him.

Ye Chen unfolded the Earth Extreme Dragon Sword technique, releasing a dragon phantom that collided with the fragmented eagle claw, finally neutralizing the force of Shen Jie’s blow.

At this moment.

The seven members of the Thousand Spirits Sect had formed a circle, surrounding Ye Chen!

Shen Jie stood directly in front of Ye Chen, a sinister expression on his face.

They had come with ten people, and one had already been killed by Ye Chen at the foot of the mountain.

Now, with nine of them reaching the peak of Lingyun Mountain together, but as soon as they arrived, Ye Chen, brazenly audacious, was waiting for them, catching them by surprise and killing two more of their number!

To the Thousand Spirits Sect, this was an immense humiliation!

The Thousand Spirits Sect had considerable fame throughout Cangzhou, and the prodigies from the Great Zhou Dynasty and other places were, in the eyes of these prodigies of the Thousand Spirits Sect, nothing but country bumpkins, ignorant and foolish.

Yet the Thousand Spirits Sect suffered significant losses at the hands of Ye Chen!

”Having not officially stepped into the Primordial Embryo Realm yet being able to take one of my moves, the integration of spirit and martial arts is indeed impressive. However, you killed our people from the Thousand Spirits Sect, and for that, you must die.” Shen Jie shouted angrily!

Ye Chen’s expression was grave!

When departing from Jiulong City, Yang Tianji had anticipated that Ye Chen’s odds against Zhou Chengqian, who was at the Fifth Layer of Transcendence, were fifty-fifty, while against Li Tianyi, his odds were less than two-tenths.

On the way, Ye Chen’s integration of spirit and martial arts improved somewhat and he now also condensed an illusory sword seed.

Against Zhou Chengqian, he now had a ten-tenths chance of victory, while against Li Tianyi, the odds were fifty-fifty.

Yet at this moment, everyone in front of Ye Chen was from the Thousand Spirits Sect.

He clearly sensed Shen Jie’s cultivation at the Sixth Layer of Transcendence, on the same level as Li Tianyi.

But in terms of combat power, Shen Jie was much stronger than Li Tianyi, making it likely he wouldn’t even have a two-tenths chance!

Additionally, there were two other prodigies of the Thousand Spirits Sect at the Fifth Layer of Transcendence around him, and in one-on-one, he’d stand at most a fifty-fifty chance.

Besides.

They seemed unlikely to fight one-on-one; the killing intent on them was strong!

Nevertheless...

Ye Chen still didn’t regret making a move against the Thousand Spirits Sect.

They had already set their sights on his method of integrating spirit and martial arts; this matter was destined not to end peacefully!

”The good things on the mountaintop have been plundered clean by this wretched Ye Chen. It would save trouble if we just kill him and take his storage ring.”

”Hahaha, Senior Brother Shen, don’t kill him too quickly later. Leave him with a breath; I have a Secret Technique that can forcibly perform a Soul Search. He’s a perfect integration of spirit and martial arts, and he has the complete cultivation technique for it. Let’s see if we can obtain the technique. This is far more important than treasures from Lingyun Mountain.”

Shen Jie stared at Ye Chen, his expression icy cold and indifferent, saying, ”Surrender your cultivation technique and storage ring, and I’ll give you a swift death.”

Ye Chen sneered.

Did these people really think victory was assured?

Though his chances were bleak, as long as there was a sliver of opportunity, as long as he wasn’t dead, the outcome could still change!

”What I don’t want to give up, whoever dares to take must die!”

Ye Chen shouted furiously, his Invincible Sword stance growing even more intense. Then, with a sudden thrust, he stabbed directly toward Shen Jie.

A true swordsman must act so; no matter the situation, one must not lose the courage to strike!

In the instant the sword is unleashed, it must be done with the momentum to break through all barriers with a single strike!
