Supreme Sword God

Chapter 357: Chapter 356: No Chatter, Just Slash!

Lu Feiyu was indeed greatly shocked. Just now, he had said he wanted Ye Chen’s help and was planning to give Ye Chen credit for killing two Mortal Transformation Realm green ghosts. Now he realized that Ye Chen’s kill count was higher than his own!

He was truly lucky that Ye Chen agreed to help him contain the Unity Realm green ghost and didn’t just kill it for himself...

Ye Chen said, ”Now, there’s only one Unity Realm green ghost left. We have three hours left. If we can’t find it after three hours, no matter how many we kill, it won’t matter.”

Lu Feiyu agreed, saying, ”Let’s split up. I have a signal arrow. If I find the last green ghost, I’ll fire the arrow for you to come help. If you find it first, fire your arrow, and I’ll come to help!”

It was quite troublesome for her to kill a Unity Realm green ghost alone. She thought it might not be easy for Ye Chen either, so working together was the best option.

Saying this, Lu Feiyu took out a signal arrow and handed it to Ye Chen.

Mu Qingqing immediately took the signal arrow for Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was indeed strong, but Mu Qingqing had always been a little insecure about herself. A small mistake could endanger Ye Chen, so it was safer to keep Lu Feiyu involved!

”Goodbye.”

Lu Feiyu said, then swiftly turned around and left.

Mu Qingqing looked at Ye Chen and said, ”Brother Chen, you won’t blame me for taking this signal arrow without asking, right?”

Ye Chen smiled and shook his head.

Indeed, having Lu Feiyu around makes it safer to kill a Unity Realm green ghost. The last time he killed a Unity Realm green ghost, it was actually full of dangers. Luckily, his luck was good, or he’d have been in trouble!

”Let’s go and find the green ghost.” Ye Chen said.

On the way.

Mu Qingqing started talking about the Thunder Control Technique that Lu Feiyu had just used. According to Mu Qingqing, a hundred years ago, a wandering expert arrived in Cangxing City known as the Purple Thunder Saint Mother.

The most powerful skill of the Purple Thunder Saint Mother was the Thunder Control Technique.

But thirty years ago, the Purple Thunder Saint Mother seemed to have offended a powerful force, and then she vanished without a trace.

As for what that powerful force might be, no one has ever known.

”Brother Chen, maybe Lu Feiyu is a successor of the Purple Thunder Saint Mother.” Mu Qingqing guessed based on her knowledge.

Ye Chen acknowledged with a hum; he was not interested in such gossip.

From time to time, Mu Qingqing turned her head and kept staring at the Little Phoenix on Ye Chen’s shoulder.

She was very fond of Ye Chen’s little bird, thinking about it all the time, wanting desperately to touch it.

......

In another part of the forest under the night sky.

Liao Qing was leading his group, wandering around like headless flies.

So far, there were six of them, and they only had eight green ghost kills total, which was quite disappointing.

Three hours were left until the three-day assessment period was over, and everyone knew that Liao Qing’s previous promise to guarantee four spots for the team was nonsense.

Some members of the group were already harboring grievances!

They had killed a Unity Realm green ghost, but in that fight, Liao Qing, the strongest in the group, hadn’t contributed much. Only at the last moment did he deliver a critical blow and took credit for the kill.

Three of them had been severely injured in that battle.

These grievances, bottled up inside, couldn’t explode.

After all, they still needed Liao Qing to distribute the final kill count. Offending Liao Qing would be disadvantageous.

Just then.

A figure hurriedly rushed up to Liao Qing.

This person, named Wang Shu, was skilled in speed and tracking, thus he was always tasked by Liao Qing to scout.

”Brother Liao, there seems to be signs of a green ghost ahead.”

Upon hearing this, Liao Qing’s expression brightened, his eyes glowing.

Wang Shu added, ”I also found Ye Chen and that weepy little girl Mu Qingqing up ahead.”

Liao Qing’s expression darkened, and he said, ”We can’t let those two idiots alert the green ghost. Wang Shu, take two people and block them. I’ll take the rest to find and kill the green ghost!

If they dare to force their way through, there’s no need to be polite to them.”

......

”Brother Chen, what did that guy mean just now when he ran into us and then immediately took off?” Mu Qingqing was puzzled.

Ye Chen replied, ”Maybe he didn’t want to interact with us, or maybe he went to report to Liao Qing.”

”Then will they cause trouble for us? Brother Chen, you had a conflict with Liao Qing before...”

Ye Chen smiled lightly, saying, ”No worries, whoever causes trouble will be dealt with!”

”But... they’re also here for the assessment. Will it cause problems if we deal with them?” Mu Qingqing had little combat experience and was quite naive.

Ye Chen shook his head and said, ”The True Martial Hall seeks warriors. What is a warrior? A warrior has a fearless heart. As long as your conscience is clear, deal with anyone who causes trouble. Understand?”

Mu Qingqing nodded, half-understanding but influenced.

At this moment, Ye Chen stopped and said, ”I have an idea.”

”Brother Chen, tell me.”

”Your spirit seal abilities don’t necessarily have to be used only on me or to interfere with opponents. For instance, if I unleash a Sword Qi, you can use your spirit seal to enhance it, making it larger, harder, and faster.”

With Ye Chen’s words, it was as if Mu Qingqing’s eyes were opened to a new world.

”Right, why didn’t I think of that? Brother Chen, how are you so smart?!” Mu Qingqing was thrilled.

”...”

Perhaps that’s just the reason for his brilliance, Ye Chen thought to himself.

Then, Ye Chen unleashed another sword strike, having Mu Qingqing use her imprinting abilities to preserve it. They couldn’t afford to be careless as a fight might break out at any moment.

The two continued searching ahead.

Suddenly.

”Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Three figures flickered and appeared in front of Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing.

The leader, Wang Shu, was at the Fifth Layer of Transcendence, the other two were at the Third and Fourth Layers.

Although they had heard about Ye Chen’s feat of taking down members of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, they didn’t think much of it.

After all, among those Ye Chen defeated, only Lin Mo was relatively strong.

But Lin Mo wasn’t truly weaker than Ye Chen. Rather, he was outsmarted by Ye Chen. Ye Chen’s Dantian had a strong defense, making it hard for anyone to get an opening unless they targeted the Dantian!

”Ye Chen, Mu Qingqing, this is not a place for you. Get out of here!” Wang Shu, holding a long sword, coldly shouted at Ye Chen.

”We’re all here for the assessment. This place isn’t your home. Why can’t we be here?” Mu Qingqing argued defiantly, raising her neck in protest.

”Little girl, when we say leave, you should leave. If you keep talking nonsense, don’t blame us for being impolite!” another person shouted.

Wang Shu glanced at Mu Qingqing, then stared at Ye Chen, ”Ye Chen, be smart and take this pesky girl away. Otherwise...”

However, before Wang Shu could finish his sentence, Ye Chen took a sudden step forward.

Golden light flashed under his feet, and sword light poured from his hand. Standing on Ye Chen’s shoulder, the Little Phoenix Zizi seized the opportunity, opening its mouth to spew out Phoenix flames that gathered upon Ye Chen’s Celestial Mark Sword.

”Whoosh!”

The fierce Sword Qi, enveloped in Phoenix flames, instantly struck Wang Shu.

”Ah!”

Wang Shu let out a miserable scream as he was sent flying backward, landing with a bang and passing out.

His chest was ripped open, ribs broken, and his body charred!

The two who came with Wang Shu were wide-eyed, dumbstruck.

Mu Qingqing was also stunned.

Ye Chen looked at Mu Qingqing with a calm expression, saying, ”Remember, when faced with such troublemakers, it’s best not to waste words. Just deal with them and talk afterward!”

Mu Qingqing nodded, deeply acknowledging, ”Brother Chen, I understand now!”

The next moment, Mu Qingqing swiftly formed a seal with both hands, and the golden Celestial Spirit Seal projected and flew out from between her brows.

The two who came with Wang Shu had their eyes nearly popping out as if they were about to fall to the ground.

This pesky girl they had previously refused to let join their team was actually... a Celestial Seal Spirit Master?!
