Chapter 553
“Die!”
Amid Shou Ling’s great roar, the Sun-Moon weapon reached Ye Chu’s front, about to slash at Ye Chu’s body. If this strike landed, even with Ye Chu’s green lotus protecting his body, he would find it hard to endure, and would certainly be severely wounded.
But Ye Chu also had no possibility of dodging. Everyone watching this scene could not help sighing, thinking that Ye Chu would still ultimately fall into Shou Ling and the others’ hands.
Seeing Ye Chu actually raise his arm to block the weapon, the cultivators shook their heads and sighed even more. How terrifying was this strike? Probably even mountains would be shattered. Ye Chu using his arm to resist, his arm would be blasted and burst apart.
But just as everyone awaited the bloody display, a huge explosion suddenly rang out. Ye Chu’s arm smashed onto the weapon, actually possessing terrifying indestructible power, blasting that Sun-Moon weapon directly flying backward.
The collision sound was like steel striking steel. The terrifying shockwave from their collision swept in all directions, once again blasting the canyon into collapse, earth crumbling down.
This was a scene no one had expected. No one could believe Ye Chu could use his fleshly body to resist a Sun-Moon weapon that condensed the full power of a mid-grade King.
Even Shou Ling found it hard to accept.
But just as he was losing his senses in a daze, Ye Chu let out a furious roar. A sword light shot out, sharp edge fully exposed, piercing through everything.
Shou Ling thought his one strike was enough to annihilate Ye Chu. How could he have expected to be counterattacked by Ye Chu’s sword slaughter? Although he retreated extremely quickly, he ultimately could not match the sword gleam like a rainbow piercing the sun, directly having his chest pierced through by Ye Chu.
Shou Ling looked at the bloody hole in his chest, watching the blood spurting out there. His eyes opened wide, carrying disbelief and unwillingness, slowly falling from the void, smashing onto a blue stone. His eyes stared wide as he gradually lost his breath.
He could not figure out even in his dreams, by what means Ye Chu blocked his charged strike. That was a Sun-Moon weapon gathering his full body’s power. Could it be that Ye Chu’s fist had cultivated to a level even stronger than Sun-Moon qi?
The surroundings were completely silent. Even Shou Jin explosively retreated, not daring to act against Ye Chu. At this moment his face was already full of terror. Cold intent rushed directly from the soles of his feet toward his mind. His body could not help trembling.
“Drip… drip…”
Only the sound of dripping blood remained in the surroundings. Drop by drop, blood beads from Ye Chu’s arm dripped onto blue stone. But each drop of this sound was like a heavy hammer striking the cultivators’ hearts, making them feel immense pressure.
No one made a move because Ye Chu’s arm was trembling and dripping blood. Every person involuntarily retreated, keeping far away from Ye Chu.
At this moment Ye Chu consumed many medicinal substances. Demon spirit flying bamboo liquid constantly permeated into his arm. Only then did his arm recover some coolness. His entire person only then had somewhat less surging blood energy.
Although Ye Chu used Chaos Green Qi to forcibly resist the opponent’s Sun-Moon weapon, the harm to himself was also enormous. This arm seemed to no longer belong to him. There were split openings on his arm, among which quite a bit of blood seeped out, gathering along the arm and dripping from his fingers.
Especially inside his body, blood energy rolled fiercely. If not for Ye Chu having the green lotus protecting his body, using his powerful primal spirit to suppress himself, he would probably have collapsed to the ground at this moment.
“Hu…” Ye Chu lightly exhaled a breath, coldly staring at this group of people. Flying bamboo liquid constantly permeated into Ye Chu’s body, bringing Ye Chu waves of coolness, letting Ye Chu’s body recover at extreme speed.
Ye Chu was somewhat grateful that he had the flying bamboo’s help all along this journey. Otherwise, he would have long since been killed by someone.
Similarly Ye Chu had to admit the value of demon spirits. They were simply treasures.
“Who else wants to come up?” Ye Chu stared at all the cultivators present, roaring.
This sentence made many cultivators’ faces show terror. They retreated madly one by one, not daring to confront Ye Chu’s gaze. Even Shou Jin was standing far away at this moment.
Previously three mid-grade Kings could not do anything to the opponent. What could he alone do now?
Most importantly, Shou Ling and Shou Huo died in unclear circumstances. How would he dare to step forward again? This fellow’s fist was too bizarre. If he were struck by one punch, he might follow in Shou Huo’s footsteps.
Seeing no one dared to block him, Ye Chu’s eyes showed coldness. He collected Shou Jin’s Sun-Moon weapon. At the same time he seized all the good things Shou Jin carried on him. Finally he walked before Shou Huo who was on the verge of death. Pressing his finger on Shou Huo’s head, Shou Huo’s body began to slowly wither. In a short time, Shou Huo completely lost his breath. His entire person also transformed into a dried corpse.
This scene made the numerous cultivators feel even more cold intent rushing to their minds, looking at Ye Chu with fear on their faces.
With the essence of a mid-grade King helping temper his body, Ye Chu felt his surging blood energy had recovered seventy to eighty percent. However, the intent of a mid-grade King rampaged within Ye Chu’s body, bringing Ye Chu a few degrees of savagery. Ye Chu used the Plundering Profundity to strip it away, only then slowly grinding it into disappearance.
However, Supreme Will had grown much stronger. Toward this Ye Chu was also helpless. All along this journey his strength grew rapidly, his intent similarly condensed to the extreme, but similarly Supreme Will had grown even stronger. Ye Chu vaguely felt that Supreme Will was about to reach its next eruptive stage.
Although this result was helpless, Ye Chu could only accept it. He could not stop strengthening himself just because he worried about Supreme Will’s growth.
“Scram!” Ye Chu stepped forward, roaring furiously at the cultivators blocking before him.
Ye Chu’s furious roar made these cultivators hurriedly make way. Although holy liquid was tempting, compared to it, life was more precious.
Ye Chu walked out of the canyon step by step. Looking at Ye Chu’s not particularly heroic back, several Kings’ eyes were full of unwillingness. Were they really going to let him walk out of the Proud Son Path like this?
No matter how unwilling in their hearts, no one dared to block.
“Sir! Will you still not act? Do you really want to watch him break the Proud Son Path’s rules and swagger away?” Just as Ye Chu was about to walk out of the canyon, Shou Huo suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowing toward a spot. His forehead knocked out blood traces. His expression was miserable, pleading unceasingly.
This scene made numerous cultivators stunned. But immediately they looked fiercely in the direction Shou Huo was kowtowing toward. “Could it be! This time an even stronger cultivator has come? Even a top-grade King has come?”
Just as everyone guessed, they saw in the distant void, a figure slowly walking out, treading through the air like a leisurely stroll. Although there was no aura on his body, the golden dragon robe he wore paired with the cicada-like imprint on his forehead made everyone’s hearts shake.
“Cicada… Cicada Sovereign…”
Every cultivator stammered. They looked in disbelief at the person walking out of the void with a calm face. What they had mobilized was actually a Sovereign.
They were not unfamiliar with Cicada Sovereign. He was one of the famous Sovereigns on the Proud Son Path. There were not many Sovereigns among the Proud Son Path guardians, only three. And Cicada Sovereign was the Sovereign stationed at the Thirty-Fifth City.
But such a figure had actually been alerted as well.
“This…”
No one could remain calm. But very quickly everyone thought of a possibility. Even a Sovereign could not resist the temptation of holy liquid. This guess in the end everyone was convinced of, because only thus could it explain why he would lower his status and run this far to pursue and kill Ye Chu.
