Chapter 546
The Tenth City! The cultivators besieging Ye Chu were completely annihilated, not one survived, and the six Kings were nearly all killed or wounded! The city flowed with rivers of blood, and blood streamed out through the city gates!
When this result spread out, it shocked the entire Heaven’s Proud Road. Countless cultivators were horrified, their eyes widened at this, and boundless chill simultaneously rose in their hearts.
This was the strongest force assembled to surround and kill Ye Chu since the beginning. Everyone had thought it sufficient to kill Ye Chu. They had not expected such a result. Six Kings, several hundred cultivators plus Sun and Moon artifacts. This was absolutely a force that shook Heaven’s Proud Road.
Yet it was precisely such a force that everyone believed sufficient to destroy Ye Chu that was completely annihilated, not one survivor. While everyone was shocked by Ye Chu’s strength, they also shivered with chill at Ye Chu’s ruthlessness.
“Too strong, he is simply defying heaven!”
“How can he be so extraordinary that six Kings were actually beheaded by him? Such a force would even give Middle-grade Kings, even Upper-grade Kings, a headache. Yet they all died in his hands.”
“It seems that no matter how many ordinary cultivators there are, they cannot do anything to him.”
“Could he really fight his way out of Heaven’s Proud Road!”
The world was shaken by this and paid attention to news of Ye Chu. Likewise, this battle made numerous cultivators no longer dare to act rashly. Even when some cultivators saw Ye Chu passing by their side, each and every one of them had numb scalps and kept their distance.
The influence of this battle was enormous. It made cultivators who had been single-mindedly thinking of the sacred liquid recover some rationality. They no longer madly pursued Ye Chu.
But behind the calm, even more terrifying storms were brewing. On the road to the Ninth City, Ye Chu did not suffer a single cultivator’s siege. However, when Ye Chu stepped into the ninth city, the city gates slammed shut. Countless cultivators filed out. Guardians and older generation figures joined forces, mobilising all the power they could muster. They did not hesitate to use Sun and Moon artifacts to withstand the power condensed by formations, and began to besiege Ye Chu.
This siege was far stronger than at the Tenth City. They had learned the lesson of the Tenth City, and the moment they struck, they launched a frenzied killing blow against Ye Chu.
Although there were likewise only six Kings, the coordination between the Guardians and the older generation far surpassed that at the Tenth City. Combined with the strangling attacks of the Sun and Moon artifacts, the might made Ye Chu’s heart tremble. The first attack left a bloody gash on Ye Chu’s arm.
Such a siege made Ye Chu’s heart turn ruthless as well. His figure flashed. Without a second word, he charged into the crowd of cultivators. Profusion Like Brocade swept out in killing intent. Heaven and earth anomalies raged. Sword intent carrying fierce sharpness madly pounced toward these cultivators.
Ye Chu held nothing back, driving his power to the extreme. Every time he drove it forth, it carried his strongest artistic conception. Petals shot out, and sword light swept horizontally. The Burial Void Sword Technique was unleashed without reservation, continuously flying out and drawing out streams of blood.
Ye Chu was frenzied. Fighting to the end, he paid no heed to the blood spilling from his body. His hands only concerned themselves with slaughter. The two Dao patterns he had comprehended flickered continuously, covering his entire body. His whole person was dyed in blood. The scarlet blood set him off even more like a ruthless man. An aura of sharpness shot straight to the clouds. Fighting to the end, Ye Chu’s arms trembled. His battle intent was imposing. His eyes shot out astonishing cold light.
Ye Chu went mad. Fighting to the end, only killing intent remained in him. During his onslaught, cultivators were continuously severed by him. Blood sprayed and flowed in rivers. His terrifying combat power made everyone’s heart turn cold.
This battle lasted a full day. In the end, blood flowed across the entire city’s roads. Only after three among the Kings were turned into dried corpses did they completely collapse in defeat. Ye Chu fought all the way to the city gate. Using the corpses of several cultivators, he directly and violently smashed the city gate to pieces. Fragments flew out together with flesh and blood.
Those in the Ninth City who had witnessed this battle had long since had their hearts and gallbladders torn apart. They trembled as they hid in one place, not daring to look at that thin figure trembling as it walked out of the city gate.
The smell of blood permeated the entire city. Countless people watched with their own eyes as Ye Chu walked out of the Ninth City.
The result of this battle spread out once again, making countless cultivators draw in cold breath. No one believed it would be such a result. But when they learned that three of the six Kings had been killed, and the Guardians and older generation cultivators had suffered more than half casualties, they finally fell silent. Facing such a dominant figure, they could only confront him with silence.
But although Ye Chu’s ferocity made everyone’s heart turn cold, they did not therefore give up on besieging him. The rules of Heaven’s Proud Road could not be broken. Even if he defied heaven, they must stop and kill him!
Thus many cultivators saw a scene that made them click their tongues in astonishment. Countless Guardians of Heaven’s Proud Road rushed toward Ye Chu’s direction. At the same time, some Guardians also hurried toward the cities beyond the Twelfth City.
Everyone understood this scene. Since Ye Chu was so powerful, they could only use even stronger forces to besiege him. The sieges Ye Chu faced would only grow increasingly powerful.
However, the Guardians hurrying toward the rear of Heaven’s Proud Road made everyone puzzled. But very quickly they thought of a possibility.
“Are they going to find reinforcements beyond the Twentieth City of Heaven’s Proud Road?”
The moment this guess rang out, it immediately caused cultivators to burst into uproar. Before the Twentieth City of Heaven’s Proud Road, the strongest presences were only Lower-grade Kings. But beyond the Twentieth City of Heaven’s Proud Road, there existed Middle-grade Kings, Upper-grade Kings, and even Monarchs.
Could it be that to deal with Ye Chu, they needed to ask these incomparably powerful and arrogant figures to take action?
“Isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?” Someone muttered to himself. Could the cultivators at the front of Heaven’s Proud Road still not stop Ye Chu? Must they have cultivators of a higher level take action?
But no matter how astonished everyone was, the Guardians headed straight for the front of Heaven’s Proud Road, vigorously moving reinforcements to go block and kill Ye Chu.
More and more Guardians and older generation experts appeared. They set up various formations and various traps. They besieged Ye Chu with full force.
However, Ye Chu was too careful and too powerful. Even traps and sieges they believed to be foolproof were broken by Ye Chu every time.
“This boy’s perception is too strong. He has also studied formations.” After suffering losses several times, everyone finally understood.
However, their reaction only made Ye Chu sneer. His perception naturally need not be mentioned. It was absolutely terrifying. As for formations, back then he had learned some superficial knowledge from the Old Madman. But even so, compared to the half-baked formations of these people, it was far stronger.
Fighting all the way, the cultivators pursuing him were defeated time and again. Ye Chu had even forgotten how much blood stained his hands.
The battles along this road were terrifying tempering for Ye Chu himself. Ye Chu’s artistic conception grew increasingly full, and his attacks grew increasingly fierce. His entire person was truly becoming a peerless sword tempered to gleam with cold light.
Finally, during one siege, after Ye Chu forcefully beheaded one of the Kings among them, he himself underwent transformation. His aura skyrocketed, and he broke through to the Second Layer Profound Origin Realm in one go. His strength surged, and his entire person became even more sharp and brilliant.
Ye Chu was dominant, advancing all the way. The blood on his body had never dried. The pungent smell of blood dyed him like a demon. His killing intent made people’s hearts tremble.
