Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Instant Kill with One Move
Cheng Zhibin sneered inwardly. As long as Ye Qingchen dies here, not only will I have my revenge, but I can also seize his Fen Tian Earth Fire and Ancient Jade Spiritual Fire. Both are treasures that every alchemist dreams of possessing. The fact that I’ve reached the Fourth-Rank Alchemist level at my age is a testant to my alchemic talent. Once I obtain them, I’m confident I can break through directly to the Fifth-Rank Pill King Realm, and even reaching the Sixth-Rank Pill King will be just a matter of ti! By then, I, Cheng Zhibin, will be the youngest Pill King in the Northern Desolate Country!
While Cheng Zhibin indulged in his fantasies, Ye Qingchen was making his own calculations. Given the situation, it’s impossible to expect Cheng Zhibin to let
go. He and Zhang Changshui are both in the Great Martial Master Realm. I have to move decisively to subdue them and force them to tell
where Father is. Then, I can leave before the Heavenly Profound Sect’s experts arrive. Once I escape and return to the Qingyun Sect, they won’t be able to touch . It won’t be too late to seek revenge after I’ve grown stronger.
At that mont, Cheng Zhibin gave Zhang Changshui a pointed look. "Deacon Zhang," he said, "how should we deal with spies who intrude into our Heavenly Profound Sect?"
It dawned on Zhang Changshui that Ye Qingchen had completely fooled him. If anyone finds out that I not only accepted his bribe but also led him on a tour of the mines and even showed him the slave roster, I’ll never escape the charge of colluding with an enemy. All I can do now is distance myself from him as quickly as possible. Spirit Stones are good, but you have to be alive to enjoy them.
At this thought, he also sneered and said, "Don’t worry, Zhibin. Since he dared to co to the Xuan Ore Cave to spy, I’ll make sure he never leaves."
After he finished speaking, Zhang Changshui bellowed out the door, "Where is the guard squad?"
At his call, a dozen or so fully equipped disciples of the Heavenly Profound Sect surrounded the room.
Ye Qingchen swept his gaze over them and noted that the guards were all uniformly Seventh-Layer Great Martial Masters.
He sighed. Since a fight is inevitable, I have to make it fast.
With that thought, Ye Qingchen shot forward, brushing past Cheng Zhibin and bursting out of the room. He was so fast that Cheng Zhibin, who had been blocking the door, had no ti to react.
Zhang Changshui, however, did. "Catch that kid!" he yelled to the guards. "If he resists, kill him without rcy!"
After receiving their orders, the guard squad also encircled Ye Qingchen.
Facing more than a dozen Seventh-Layer Great Martial Masters, Ye Qingchen, who was at the sa level, showed no fear. He imdiately unleashed the Earth Rank Martial Technique, Leaf Blade Storm.
Previously, Ye Qingchen had always used Leaf Blade Storm against a single enemy. It was a targeted attack that would surround the foe with countless Leaf Blades to inflict devastating damage. However, Leaf Blade Storm was also an area-of-effect skill capable of enveloping multiple attackers. This ca with its pros and cons. When used against a single person, its power was more focused and imnse. Against a group, its attack power was correspondingly weaker. But against these guards, who were weaker than him, even a diminished Leaf Blade Storm was more than enough.
As Ye Qingchen executed the Martial Technique, a gigantic tornado ford with him at its center, enveloping both himself and the dozen or so Seventh-Layer Great Martial Master experts.
Cheng Zhibin and Zhang Changshui stared dumbfounded at the scene unfolding before them, swallowing hard. They exchanged a glance, seeing both shock and greed in each other’s eyes.
They were shocked that Ye Qingchen possessed such formidable strength. Their greed stemd from a simple fact: if they killed Ye Qingchen, that powerful Martial Technique would be theirs!
"Deacon Zhang..." Cheng Zhibin’s voice trembled with excitent.
Zhang Changshui knew what he wanted to say. He nodded heavily and replied, "Zhibin, rest assured. This kid won’t get away!"
No sooner had their words fallen than the Leaf Blade Storm began to slowly dissipate.
The once-nacing mbers of the guard squad were now lying on the ground, barely clinging to life. This was only because Ye Qingchen had deliberately held back, withdrawing the Leaf Blade Storm at the last mont. Otherwise, that single move would have been enough to kill all of them instantly.
Ye Qingchen naturally felt no compassion for the people of the Heavenly Profound Sect. After witnessing the tragic plight of the mine slaves, he felt that every last person from the sect deserved to die! However, his current worry for his father’s safety made him hold back, which is why he hadn’t struck a killing blow.
"Brat, I didn’t expect you to have so skill. But to cause trouble in the Heavenly Profound Sect, it seems you’ve picked the wrong place."
Zhang Changshui wasn’t particularly surprised to see the dozen or so guards fallen; after all, he had just witnessed the might of that move. But he felt that an attack of that magnitude couldn’t possibly injure him, a peak Ninth-Layer Great Martial Master.
Furthermore, that was clearly a high-rank Martial Technique. While he couldn’t be certain of its grade, it was impossible for soone with Ye Qingchen’s strength to use such a technique a second ti! After all, the higher the rank of a Martial Technique, the more Spiritual Energy it consus. Since Ye Qingchen was only a Seventh-Layer Great Martial Master, how much Spiritual Energy could he possibly have? Therefore, even though Ye Qingchen had instantly defeated over a dozen cultivators of the sa realm, Zhang Changshui remained completely confident.
Having already made his move, Ye Qingchen was not about to hesitate. The mont Zhang Changshui’s words fell, Ye Qingchen unleashed Sword Dusting the Wind, slashing toward him.
Being able to oversee the crucial Xuan Ore Cave, Zhang Changshui naturally had so ability of his own. Although his strength hadn’t reached the Martial Spirit Realm, his combat experience was vast.
Even though he hadn’t anticipated Ye Qingchen’s sudden attack, he reacted quickly, drawing his low-grade Spiritual Artifact to block the blow.
However, Sword Dusting the Wind, augnted by the Qingfeng Sword, was like a hot knife through butter. Zhang Changshui’s low-grade Spiritual Artifact was shattered in an instant, and the Qingfeng Sword continued unimpeded toward him.
Alard, Zhang Changshui tried to retreat, but it was already too late.
Watching the Qingfeng Sword magnify before his eyes, Zhang Changshui shut them in despair. I’ve miscalculated!
