Chapter 782
Looking at the motionless Sandworm Emperor, Ye Chu gritted his teeth and slowly walked out. Walking to the side of the Sandworm Emperor, Ye Chu saw that it still had its eyes open. “Not dead yet?”
Ye Chu was startled and, without thinking, prepared to turn and run. An existence at the Xuanhua realm, if it wanted to kill him, would be as easy as turning a hand.
But just as Ye Chu was preparing to flee, his gaze swept across the Sandworm Emperor’s pupils. Although its eyes were full of fury, its eyeballs did not move at all.
Ye Chu’s running motion immediately stopped. Carefully plucking up his courage, he approached the Sandworm Emperor and saw that although it was not dead, it was completely unable to move.
This delighted Ye Chu. “The Sandworm Emperor used the essence of its entire body to suppress the baleful qi, and has become completely paralysed.”
The Sandworm used the essence of its entire body to suppress the baleful qi, so it could not even move. Ye Chu naturally did not need to worry about it. Ye Chu was even less afraid of it giving up suppressing the baleful qi. Because the moment it gave up, the baleful qi would immediately rush into its body, erasing all vitality, and it would certainly die.
“I thought you were so clever, but you’re just a stupid worm too!” Ye Chu laughed heartily. This time, it really came without any effort at all.
Little did Ye Chu know that this was not because the Sandworm was stupid, but because it had overestimated itself. Originally, it had thought that it could suppress the old vine with its racial secret technique, because this baleful qi had already been tempered by it many times, and the time was about right. But it had not expected that, as predicted, it did suppress it, yet it used all of its essence, without a single trace of strength remaining. Without a single trace of strength remaining, it could only stay paralysed there. If it could have retained even a little bit of strength, it would not have fallen into such a state.
With a trace of strength, it could completely burrow into the yellow sand. With its body at this moment, who could do anything to it if it hid in the yellow sand? Then it would only need to slowly refine the baleful qi.
But now…
Ye Chu reached out and grabbed the Sandworm Emperor. He grabbed it and struck it with various marvellous techniques, even binding it all over with Chaos Green Qi.
This made Ye Chu breathe a sigh of relief. He thought that even if it recovered later, these methods would still be able to severely wound it. Moreover, it was impossible for the other party to recover so quickly, unless it wanted to die.
…
Ye Chu grabbed the Sandworm Emperor, extremely excited inside. Just as he was preparing to leave, he heard a thunderous rumbling from above.
“Damn it, someone above has punched through the yellow sand and come down. They must have been drawn by the sounds of the battle between the old vine and the Sandworm Emperor just now.” Ye Chu cursed in a low voice. Without thinking too much, he quickly stepped into the city, wanting to drag Ye Jingyun away with him.
But when Ye Chu went to look for Ye Jingyun, he did not know where Ye Jingyun had gone. Looking at the vast city, Ye Chu thought that finding Ye Jingyun would be extremely difficult.
Thinking of this, Ye Chu did not linger. His body surged upwards, breaking through the yellow sand and shooting straight into the sky.
This yellow sand naturally could not stop Ye Chu. The moment Ye Chu flew out, he discovered several cultivators pouncing towards him.
“The thing this kid is holding in his hand is the Sandworm Emperor!”
“Catch him, the Sandworm Emperor’s entire body is as strong as copper walls and iron fortresses, excellent material for refining weapons.”
“Wait, the Sandworm Emperor is terrifyingly powerful, a master at the Xuanhua realm. How could this kid possibly deal with it?”
“The Sandworm Emperor used a technique to condense its essence, this…”
The crowd speculated, but at the same time pounced towards Ye Chu. Regardless of the reason, they all wanted to snatch the Sandworm Emperor.
As the group pounced on Ye Chu, the people who had punched through from above to enter below also exclaimed and shouted at this moment: “It’s the ruins of Sand City!”
With one sentence, countless cultivators were instantly in an uproar, their gazes burning even hotter as they looked at Ye Chu. The Sandworm Emperor’s current appearance very likely meant that it had suppressed some treasure of Sand City, or possibly even baleful qi.
The moment they thought of that being the purpose of this trip, the crowd howled and pounced towards Ye Chu.
“Those who block me shall die!”
Ye Chu roared, his power surging out. His law attacks were unceasing, interweaving into a green lotus that hung above Ye Chu’s head. Blossoms Like Brocade struck unceasingly, petals dancing across the sky, his sword intent fierce and cold.
With one wave of attacks from Ye Chu, the cultivators at the very front did not even have a chance to dodge, directly shredded by the petals and killed on the spot.
But the temptation of treasure made even more people pounce on Ye Chu. Among them, even an Emperor rushed over, directly attacking Ye Chu.
Ye Chu’s expression was cold and stern, his sword intent fierce. Blossoms Like Brocade swept out, and whoever blocked his path, he killed. Even an Emperor, under Ye Chu’s swift and fierce attacks, bled continuously.
“Get lost!” Ye Chu cursed angrily. The Instant Wind Technique was executed, and the Profound Mystery of Seizing also surged unceasingly. At this moment, Ye Chu held nothing back. Every strike was his strongest attack.
Because Ye Chu was very clear on how many powerful experts this place had attracted. If he showed the slightest mercy, he would very likely be held back by them, attracting those powerful experts to come.
He could still resist an Emperor, but if a figure at the Xuanhua realm came, then he…
Ye Chu’s attacks were bloody and ruthless. Many cultivators were blasted by Ye Chu until their flesh was mangled. As his sword intent shot out, their bodies were sliced into pieces.
After killing a bloody path out, Ye Chu’s figure flickered, rapidly shooting into the distance. But he had not gone far when a sky full of sandworms pounced towards him.
These sandworms attacked Ye Chu without regard for their lives, wave after wave in an unending stream, until in the end they were as densely packed as ants. Ye Chu executed the Instant Wind Technique, wanting to avoid them. He could avoid one wave, two waves… ten waves, but ultimately he could not avoid them all. These sandworms charged at Ye Chu without regard for their lives. No matter how terrifying a power Ye Chu drove, they did not retreat.
Strike after strike blasted the sandworms apart, yet these sandworms remained fearless, even directly self-detonating in front of Ye Chu.
“How can this be?” After several sandworms self-detonated, Ye Chu’s heart was shaken. If not for his body’s strength being sufficient, that self-detonation just now, which he had not guarded against, could have severely wounded him.
“Could it be because of the Sandworm Emperor?” Ye Chu looked at the sandworms pouncing at him without regard for their lives, then glanced at the Sandworm Emperor, and somewhat understood in his heart.
“Die!” Ye Chu roared, a terrifying power surging from his body. His speed exploded as he crashed into the sandworms, directly sending them flying.
Some cultivators wanted to snatch the Sandworm Emperor from Ye Chu’s hand, but looking at the densely packed sandworms pouncing on Ye Chu, these people shuddered. Most of them backed down.
But similarly, some people still pursued Ye Chu, wanting to snatch the Sandworm Emperor. And these people were all those with formidable strength.
“Those who block me shall die!” Ye Chu roared furiously. Seeing that there were still people coming to block him, Blossoms Like Brocade swept out, rolling towards both the sandworms and the cultivators to kill them.
“Hand over the Sandworm Emperor in your hand!” a cultivator roared, blocking Ye Chu’s sword intent while at the same time shooting his long sword towards Ye Chu’s vital points.
