Supreme Sword God

Chapter 365: Chapter 364: The Lavish Mu Mansion

”Ye Chen, I’m willing to let things go. It’s a courtesy to you, don’t be ungrateful!” Qi Chuan shouted angrily.

Ye Chen snorted coldly and said, ”Courtesy for me? I usually carve it out with my sword; don’t need it from anyone else.”

This world is just like this.

When you’re strong, your opponents become timid.

When you’re timid, your opponents become more aggressive.

Why did Qi Chuan take a step back? Isn’t it because I acted assertively just now!

If I had been injured by Wang Shu and that woman, would Qi Chuan act this way?

So now, Ye Chen continues to be assertive. When it comes to fighting, I’ve never been afraid!

The woman standing next to Qi Chuan immediately said, ”Brother Qi, people like him shouldn’t be treated politely; he must be taught a lifelong unforgettable lesson!”

Wang Shu also hurriedly said, ”Brother Qi, this person is arrogant and conceited, looking down on everyone. You show him respect, he thinks you’re afraid of him.”

The two of them were adding fuel to the fire, eager for Qi Chuan to strike and knock Ye Chen down.

They aren’t a match for Ye Chen, so they can only hope in Qi Chuan.

Qi Chuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, cold light bursting from the slits, saying, ”Ye Chen, let me warn you: don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!”

In Ye Chen’s eyes, a hint of disdain appeared as he said, ”Drink a forfeit? Are you even worthy?”

Qi Chuan’s anger could no longer be contained. With a boom, a violent blast of air surged from within him, revealing cultivation at the Seventh Layer of Transcendence. His strength was formidable, clearly having cultivated an exceptional technique, plus he had quite remarkable talent!

”Since you insist, I will fulfill your wish and let you see the power of my Qi family’s Eighteen Cloud-Picking Hands!”

Qi Chuan roared, his body lunging towards Ye Chen with his hands forming claws, power agile and ethereal like swirling clouds, yet hidden within was a fierce energy.

Deep within Ye Chen’s pupils, golden light emerged.

Under the Martial Arts True Eye, Qi Chuan’s moves were all within Ye Chen’s sight. The Celestial Mark Sword hummed lightly, and fierce Sword Qi instantly erupted as a thrust was made, tearing through the dreamlike light like clouds. The sword tip appeared in front of Qi Chuan’s claws in the blink of an eye.

Qi Chuan was startled, immediately retracting his claws, toe tapping the ground sharply, causing earth and stone to explode as he leapt up and struck towards Ye Chen with several palms in mid-air.

Ye Chen executed the Heaven-Ascending Step, moving effortlessly through the palm imprints and swiftly moving to Qi Chuan’s side.

”Zizi!”

Ye Chen shouted lightly.

On Ye Chen’s shoulder, the Little Phoenix puffed up its belly, spewing a burst of phoenix flames onto Ye Chen’s sword. Ye Chen followed with a move of Heaven-Burning Sword, creating a blazing sea of fire that scorched the heavens and earth.

Qi Chuan’s whole body burst with strength, resisting the terrifying flames, striking a pathway through the sea of fire to charge out.

”Brother Qi, watch out!”

From afar, the woman accompanying Qi Chuan shouted loudly.

Qi Chuan sensed danger, looked up sharply, his face instantly turning pale as a gigantic hammer descended from the sky, aiming at his head.

Qi Chuan’s hands hastily crossed over the top of his head; he dared not take this hammer head-on, or else he’d surely be obliterated!

”Boom!”

Qi Chuan protected his head, but still was struck by the force, plummeting straight towards the ground.

”Boom!”

The earth shattered, and a giant dragon of earth and stone surged from below.

It was Ye Chen’s Earth Extreme Dragon Slash.

Though this was mainly a defensive tactic, its impact was quite decent. With the right timing, it can produce astonishing results.

Qi Chuan’s body was falling, unable to muster strength in time.

With a loud boom, his waist was struck by the dragon of earth and stone.

Qi Chuan screamed miserably, bones in his waist fracturing, his body flung into the air!

Ye Chen’s figure flashed, swiftly moving beside Qi Chuan, sweeping out with the sword.

”Swish!”

Qi Chuan screamed again; his right arm was severed at the shoulder, blood spewing forth.

From a distance, Wang Shu and that woman were stunned, eyes nearly bulging out. Qi Chuan, known among the young generation in Celestial Cyan City for his reputation, was defeated by Ye Chen in just a few blows!

The two gasped in shock, then fled without hesitation.

Ye Chen, high in the air, let out a cold laugh and stepped through the air, a radiant golden light flashing, and the next moment, Ye Chen blocked their path.

The duo hurriedly halted, cold sweat dripping, legs trembling!

Ye Chen pointed his sword at them, an invincible killing sword stance, transforming into a terrifying phenomenon.

”Sever an arm yourself. If I have to strike, and accidentally miss, you’d only have yourself to blame!”

These guys hadn’t intended to kill me.

Ye Chen didn’t kill them, partly due to this reason, and also because we’re too close to Cangxing City; killing them here could lead to trouble.

I’ve just arrived at the True Martial Hall and haven’t established a foothold yet, so I must handle some things more cautiously.

Wang Shu and the woman were already terrified by Ye Chen’s aura, each gritting their teeth and severing an arm!

Their arms fell to the ground, the severed points spraying blood.

Their faces became drenched in cold sweat, as large as soybeans.

Ye Chen shouted, ”Get lost!”

......

Inside Celestial Cyan City, prosperous beyond compare, high-rise buildings lined the streets, bustling with people.

The streets alone were three times wider than those in the Great Zhou Dynasty Capital City Jiu Long City.

Indeed worthy of being Cangzhou’s core area, Ye Chen felt a mix of emotions.

And this was just the outer city.

Once Ye Chen entered the inner city with the status of a one-star True Martial Guard from the True Martial Hall, he was further amazed.

Looking around, Martial Artists of the Mortal Transformation Realm could be found everywhere.

Occasionally, you could even feel the concealed pressure of a Heaven-Reaching Realm expert within the crowd.

Ye Chen’s purpose for entering the city was to find Grandmaster Mu Yi, to retrieve a weapon for Inspector Su Yun. Grandmaster Mu Yi was a highly respected Artifact Refiner in Celestial Cyan City.

Speaking of weapon trade, the largest business in Celestial Cyan City is the Celestial Soldier Pavilion, boasting top-tier Artifact Refiners. However, the highest level of Artifact Refiner would be Grandmaster Mu Yi!

Inspector Su Yun had introduced Grandmaster Mu Yi when giving Ye Chen the task details. This Grandmaster was known as an eccentric old man; despite numerous significant offers from the Celestial Soldier Pavilion hoping to invite him in, he didn’t even spare them a glance.

After entering the inner city, Ye Chen asked around a bit and soon found the location of Grandmaster Mu Yi’s residence, heading directly there. Not long after, he arrived in front of a luxurious mansion occupying extensive ground within the inner city.

Ye Chen glanced at the mansion’s gate bearing the two words ’Mu Mansion’ and couldn’t help but twitch his lips.

Daoist Artifacts, and not just one!

He had previously used Hua Qianxue’s sword, so he was able to discern the presence of Daoist Artifacts.

The strokes of the words ’Mu Mansion’ exuded the aura of Daoist Artifacts, meaning these words represented twelve pieces of Daoist Artifacts.

The plaque itself was also a Daoist Artifact!

A total of thirteen Daoist Artifacts used for show; Ye Chen hadn’t even met Grandmaster Mu Yi yet, and already deeply sensed his extravagance!

To be honest, Ye Chen was tempted.

He truly wanted to take down the Mu Mansion’s plaque and leave with it!

He supposed he would be chased by the Mu Mansion to the ends of the earth... Shivering, Ye Chen dismissed such thoughts and stepped forward, taking out a token, saying, ”Ye Chen from the True Martial Hall, under command of Inspector Su Yun, here to retrieve a weapon from Grandmaster Mu Yi.”

The guards at the gate confirmed Ye Chen’s identity and then led him into the Mu Mansion.

Soon after, an old housekeeper took Ye Chen towards the Artifact Refining chamber.

On the way.

The old housekeeper said, ”Young Master Ye, the top-grade Daoist Artifact Long Whip needed by Inspector Su is already crafted; however, the master is away for now. I’ll take you to our mansion’s young master, who will hand the whip over to you.”

A moment later, the two arrived at an Artifact Refining chamber.

Despite being called a chamber, it was quite spacious with strong array restrictions. Upon entering, a terrifying heat wave and the clanging of iron greeted Ye Chen.

Ye Chen followed the sound and saw, in the enormous refining chamber, a sturdy young man holding a large iron hammer, sweating profusely as he hammered an iron piece.

A trace of surprise flickered in Ye Chen’s eyes.

Chaotic Cloak Celestial Spirit Hammer?

Though not very skilled!
