Ye Chu gritted his teeth and endured the intense pain in his waist. This strike severely wounded him. If not for his speed, he would truly have been sawn in half just now. Ye Chu had fully witnessed the terror of a Sovereign. Ye Chu had to admit that even if he could execute secret arts to reach Sovereign level, he was still not a Sovereign’s match.
Looking at Cicada Sovereign lunging over again, Ye Chu’s expression turned cold. He actually did not dodge or evade, but directly shot forward.
“Hahaha… you are courting death!” Cicada Sovereign laughed loudly, his expression even more sinisterly cold.
As he spoke, cicada legs transformed into thousands and hundreds, each carrying a sharp offensive sweep, slashing toward Ye Chu’s waist. He wanted to take this opportunity to thoroughly saw through Ye Chu’s waist.
This kind of attack was terrifying, several degrees more fierce than before. Everyone could see that Cicada Sovereign had employed his ultimate technique. A Sovereign’s ultimate technique was overwhelmingly powerful without needing explanation. Wherever it passed, space itself seemed to be sawn apart.
Ye Chu actually still harboured delusions of facing the opponent in direct confrontation. What was this if not courting death?
Intent patterns vibrated out. The terrifying intent patterns carried power that shook the clouds, making every person’s heart tremble. They transformed into sword slaughter that pierced through sun and moon, directly charging at Cicada Sovereign.
But such offensive power was still insufficient. Ye Chu also fused coloured pattern killing aura into it, blasting forward together with it. Only then did Cicada Sovereign’s expression change. However, Cicada Sovereign, confident in his ultimate move, did not retreat because of this. Instead, he pressed forward, meeting it with even more terrifying power.
“So what if you have killing aura? This Sovereign does not hesitate to employ ultimate moves to kill you. In your current severely wounded state, how could you be this Sovereign’s opponent?”
Cicada Sovereign carried world-defying supreme might. Thousands of leg saws charged at Ye Chu, hissing loudly. But right at this moment, everyone saw a scene they could not believe.
Ye Chu, who was confronting Cicada Sovereign, actually did not dodge or evade. Using his own fist, he charged at Cicada Sovereign’s attack.
“You are courting death!”
But amid Cicada Sovereign’s disdainful roar, Ye Chu’s fist smashed into one spot. The void at this spot actually truly collapsed. Cicada Sovereign’s expression changed upon seeing this. Only then did he recall the secret art Ye Chu used back then to shake and kill a King with one punch.
Although Cicada Sovereign’s expression was grave, he was not too terrified. He sent power vibrating and shooting out, blasting toward Ye Chu’s waist, wanting to deliver a heavy strike on Ye Chu’s wound.
To everyone’s surprise, Ye Chu actually still did not dodge, once again using a fist to block this strike. The terrifying collision energy swept through heaven and earth, shredding everything in the surroundings.
And Ye Chu’s punch directly blocked Cicada Sovereign’s attack. At the same time, Ye Chu’s sword slaughter fused with coloured pattern killing aura shot out, flying through the opening Ye Chu had shattered toward Cicada Sovereign.
Cicada Sovereign’s expression changed drastically. He could no longer remain calm. A beam of power shot out from his arm, directly blasting at Ye Chu. He knew the terror of Ye Chu’s sword slaughter. He wanted to attack Ye Chu to make him turn back and block it himself, thereby stopping the sword slaughter.
But Cicada Sovereign had underestimated Ye Chu’s ruthlessness. Ye Chu actually did not dodge or evade, allowing this strike to blast onto his body. The green lotus on Ye Chu’s body was instantly shattered to pieces. His entire person flew backward, blood spraying from his mouth, tracing a bloody arc through the void.
Ye Chu did not turn back to block. That sword slaughter still carried power that pierced through sun and moon, flying toward Cicada Sovereign. No one had expected that Ye Chu would exchange severe wounds for Cicada Sovereign’s severe wounds.
Cicada Sovereign simply could not dodge. He could only face the sword slaughter head on. The sword slaughter pierced directly through his palm, then blasted into Cicada Sovereign’s chest. A bloody hole was blasted into Cicada Sovereign’s chest. Cicada Sovereign, spitting blood from his mouth, flew backward, fiercely smashing onto blue stone. The blue stone instantly collapsed.
Ye Chu was the same. The blue stone was smashed into powder by him. Feeling as if his internal organs were about to shatter, Ye Chu forcefully endured, suppressing the rolling blood energy in his body that was about to burst, then shot flying toward outside the canyon.
Ye Chu’s speed was as fast as lightning. In a short time, he disappeared from the canyon. This scene was so fast that people could not react.
Cicada Sovereign, seeing this, wanted to shoot forward to intercept Ye Chu. But his own rolling blood energy and injuries made him completely powerless to pursue. Moreover, he felt a power penetrating his body and destroying his vitality. This made Cicada Sovereign’s expression change even more dramatically.
He very clearly knew why this was. Killing aura had actually invaded his body.
This caused Cicada Sovereign to become bloodless. He quickly sat down cross legged. Disregarding his body’s injuries, he merged domineering power into his body to strangle the killing aura.
Cicada Sovereign had been severely wounded by Ye Chu. Now disregarding his injuries to expel the killing aura, this caused blood to constantly spurt from his mouth.
The numerous cultivators seeing this scene looked at each other, their mouths directly going dry. Looking in the direction Ye Chu fled, they murmured, “Has Ye Chu escaped from the Proud Son Path?”
The moment this thought emerged, it instantly made countless cultivators suck in a cold breath. This was too unacceptable. Even a Sovereign had come out to block and kill Ye Chu, yet he still let him walk out of the Proud Son Path. This…
But looking at the severely wounded Cicada Sovereign, everyone held their breath again.
Some Kings wanted to pursue and kill Ye Chu, but looking at Cicada Sovereign’s miserable state, they dismissed this notion one by one. Although they had personally seen Ye Chu severely wounded, they still lacked the courage to pursue and kill him.
Blood constantly spurted from Cicada Sovereign’s mouth. After spending considerable time, he finally eradicated the killing aura that had invaded his body. But by now, his entire person was completely bloodless. His breathing was extremely chaotic. He did not even have the strength to stand.
In this battle, he was similarly severely wounded. If Ye Chu still had combat power at this moment, then he would certainly die…
Cicada Sovereign opened his eyes. Looking around, Ye Chu’s shadow was long gone. His face was even more terrifyingly gloomy.
“Damn it!” Amid Cicada Sovereign’s furious roar, blood surged from the corner of his mouth. But the hatred in his voice was something everyone could feel. However, the cultivators present could all understand. A dignified Sovereign came to surround and kill a King, yet not only did he let the opponent escape, he himself was severely wounded to such a state. How could he accept this?
…
At this moment Ye Chu was dragging his nearly ruined body, rapidly shooting forward, entering the distant mountain range. Even though every step he took was excruciatingly painful, Ye Chu forcefully endured his body’s condition, shooting toward the distance.
At the same time, he did not forget to frantically consume various medicinal pills to treat his injuries.
But never had an injury been more severe than at this moment. Although the medicinal pills Ye Chu consumed were all high grade, their effect on him was extremely limited.
Only flying bamboo liquid had some effect on him. This was what supported Ye Chu in his mad dash all the way.
Not knowing how long he walked, Ye Chu finally could not endure. His mind went black, and he directly fainted onto the ground.
And just as Ye Chu crashed to the ground, the white fox emerged from Ye Chu’s embrace. It looked Ye Chu up and down, tilted its head and thought for a while. Only after a long time did it walk to Ye Chu’s side. Using its small mouth to inhale, then exhale, a seven coloured pearl emerged from its mouth. This seven coloured pearl appeared and landed between Ye Chu’s nostrils. As Ye Chu breathed, strands of seven coloured spiritual light were inhaled. This continued for over an hour before the seven coloured pearl returned to the white fox’s body. The white fox seemed somewhat weakened. It burrowed into Ye Chu’s embrace, lay down inside, and fell into deep sleep again.
