Chapter 494
“Good! Good! Although you are all rather useless, your courage is commendable.” Ye Chu stared at the crowd, a smile playing on his lips as he cheerfully looked at the group surrounding him. “How about it? Do you want to send a few more up? I am afraid a few of you are not enough to keep me entertained!”
“If you have the skill to defeat us, naturally others will step up. However, I am afraid you will be sliced to death today. Be sensible and hand over the Dao Comprehension Stone!” Gu Xing stared at Ye Chu. His aura vibrated, vast and surging, not inferior to Peng Guang’s in the slightest.
Gu Xing, Peng Guang, and Yu Jin were hot favourites to win the championship in the entire city. Of course, Nuo Ran was also extraordinary, but no one knew how strong she truly was. However, Nuo Ran had stated long ago that she would not participate in the race for the champion title.
Gu Xing unleashed his power. Vast energy vibrated, causing the sky to sizzle. The crowd watched this scene with pounding hearts. The powerful pressure forced them to step back involuntarily.
“So strong! His Gu Xing Technique must have reached a great stage of completion!”
“It probably has. Compared to the last time I saw him, his aura has more than doubled. I did not expect him to reach this level so quietly.”
“Tsk tsk! If Gu Xing’s ultimate technique truly reaches completion, and he is assisted by several powerful cultivators, Ye Chu will likely struggle to withstand it. Even a king would feel confident facing such a lineup.”
The crowd exclaimed at Gu Xing’s dominance. Nuo Ran stood there, graceful and elegant, with a slender figure. Her gaze, however, fell on Ye Chu. At this moment, Ye Chu’s expression remained unchanged. He stood there as calm as a light breeze. This made Nuo Ran find it interesting. She wondered what capabilities allowed Ye Chu to be so arrogant.
The figures of Gu Xing and the five others flashed, positioning themselves in six directions. They each manipulated their own martial intent. Power shot from all directions, converging at the centre. The terrifying force pierced the earth, causing a pair of massive stone hammers to erupt from the ground.
The stone hammers were formed by compressing giant earth boulders. The tens of metres tall hammers bore the violently unleashed power of the six people. The hammers shimmered with light, extremely brilliant.
The six held nothing back. They stirred up the vast power within their bodies and unleashed it violently, wrapping around the heavy hammers and emitting a heart-pounding aura.
“Boom boom…”
The tens of metres heavy hammers swung, emitting deafening roars. Six strands of martial intent exploded from them, carrying domineering and fierce power as they swung violently towards Ye Chu.
Ye Chu’s expression changed drastically. His figure flashed rapidly. The heavy hammer smashed into the ground, causing the earth to collapse instantly. Countless tons of dirt flipped into the air, then fell like muddy rain, blocking out the sky and covering the earth.
This scene forced the many cultivators to retreat rapidly, dodging the pouring muddy rain. They watched the stone hammer sweep outwards, intertwined with six layers of martial intent, and felt their hearts pound with fear.
Even a king’s power would not exceed this. The six people’s forces intertwined through the stone hammer, effectively stacking their strength.
Such a fierce and vigorous attack left everyone speechless. As Ye Chu dodged using his Instant Wind technique, he was also astonished in his heart. However, he soon smiled. This was exactly what he wanted. It made provoking them worthwhile.
Ye Chu did not fear their strength. He only feared they would be too weak. The stronger they were, the more it suited his desires!
“Die!”
The stone hammer carried the force to shatter mountains and overturn seas, accompanied by a roar like a fierce beast, smashing terrifyingly towards Ye Chu with violent and fierce energy.
Ye Chu’s figure flashed, pushing his Instant Wind technique to the extreme to narrowly avoid this strike.
“How many times can you dodge?” Gu Xing roared. The hand seals in his hands formed even faster. From the earth, another massive stone hammer was forcibly pulled upwards, cracking the void. One on the left and one on the right, they smashed towards Ye Chu.
“No one dares to be this arrogant! The price of such arrogance must be paid with your life!” Gu Xing howled as the tens of metres double hammers swept directly towards Ye Chu.
“You think such tactics can deal with me! You are underestimating me too much!” Ye Chu laughed loudly. His fingers moved, and sword rays burst forth violently. “Void Burial Sword Art!”
As Ye Chu roared, surging power exploded from his body. Vast energy transformed into sword light, dancing in the void, filling the space as if intending to bury the void itself. It emitted intense light. Countless sword rays shot out, reaching a terrifying level of sharpness. Just looking at them felt like they could pierce one’s eyes.
“Shatter for me!”
The sword rays flew forth, carrying terrifying waves that shook heaven and earth. They slammed violently into the stone hammer. The fierce sword rays struck the hammer, causing it to explode. Stone fragments shot out, producing whistling sounds as they pierced the air.
The massive stone hammer was shattered by the sword rays. Stone rain filled the sky. Ye Chu drifted out gracefully from the stone rain, untouched by a single speck of dust, remaining otherworldly.
The crowd watched as Ye Chu blocked such a strike. Their eyes burned as they stared at him. Thinking of the sharp sword rays that seemed ready to bury the void, everyone felt deeply shocked.
Ye Jingyun, standing nearby, was equally shaken. The martial intent of Ye Chu’s Void Burial Sword Art just now was too complete. It really looked like it could bury the void. Compared to his last practical combat, its momentum had more than doubled. Ye Jingyun had studied the Void Burial Sword Art with Ye Chu. She believed she had reached a decent level and felt she could soon catch up to him.
She never expected Ye Chu to have already comprehended it to this level. He had once again widened the distance between them significantly.
Ye Jingyun had always been astonished by Ye Chu’s comprehension ability, but now she was even more shocked.
“Is Ye Chu’s comprehension ability truly so terrifying? It seems to be several times stronger than his innate talent!”
Ye Jingyun found it very strange. Ye Chu’s qi sea was not particularly broad. In fact, it was somewhat inferior to hers. However, in terms of comprehension, she was far behind him. This was highly contradictory, because one’s Yuan Spirit and qi sea should share the same innate talent.
“This fellow is becoming increasingly unfathomable. If he had possessed this level of excellence back when he attempted to assault Ji Die, even with her special constitution, she would not have escaped.”
Ye Jingyun watched Ye Chu standing lazily before Gu Xing and the others. She wondered if this guy would attempt to assault Ji Die again? If he did, it would certainly make for an entertaining show!
“It seems you are all determined to cement your reputation as trash!” Ye Chu stared at Gu Xing’s group, quietly regulating his own breath. He thought that even with his greatly increased strength, using the Void Burial Sword Art still consumed enormous energy. If he used it a few more times, he would likely collapse on the spot.
However, Ye Chu possessed medicinal pellets formed from cultivator essence to replenish himself, so he could still endure it.
Gu Xing and the others stared deathly at Ye Chu. Some cultivators still bore sword wounds on their bodies. A trace of fear lingered in their hearts. No one had expected Ye Chu to unleash such a technique.
Judging by the momentum displayed just now, it was absolutely a peerless secret art. It might even have been left behind by an absolute expert. Their gaze towards Ye Chu grew even more solemn.
If it truly was a technique from an absolute expert, it meant Ye Chu was very likely a descendant of such an expert. Facing a figure cultivated by such a family, no one dared to look down on him.
Nuo Ran’s eyes lit up. Indeed, he comes from an extraordinary background! But whose descendant of an absolute expert is he?
