Chapter 1004 - 1003: The Mastermind Strikes, Kill Without Hesitation!
Chapter 1004: Chapter 1003: The Mastermind Strikes, Kill Without Hesitation!
Xu Zhiping’s face was ashen, his whole body tense with nervousness.
"Senior Brother Xu, what’s wrong?" Yi’an asked puzzled.
Xu Zhiping: "Noth... nothing, Junior Brother Yi, you entertain Young Master Ye first. I just remembered something urgent, I’ll go handle it."
He couldn’t wait to find Tong Mengling right now, to get the antidote.
Otherwise... he was doomed.
"I feel like I’ve known Young Master Xu forever, why the rush? Let’s chat a bit more," Ye Chen said.
The divine stone is poisoned.
He had seen it long ago.
This Xu Zhiping was clearly a sacrificial pawn, and someone behind the scenes was certainly orchestrating it.
If I don’t get poisoned, the person behind might not show themselves.
But Ye Chen didn’t know what poison it was!
So, he had to observe Xu Zhiping’s poisoning reaction, then get poisoned himself.
Xu Zhiping looked anxious, drenched in cold sweat, and said, "Young Master Ye, I really have something urgent, let’s talk another day!"
Ye Chen: "We might not have time later, there’s no time like the present, let’s chat today."
Xu Zhiping gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
Ye Chen flickered and blocked Xu Zhiping’s path.
"Move!" Xu Zhiping had a ferocious look.
Ye Chen: "Young Master Xu..."
"Get lost!"
Xu Zhiping roared, throwing a punch, but his fist was weak and powerless, not even reaching Ye Chen, his entire arm went limp and hung down.
"Bang!"
Xu Zhiping’s body, like a pile of mud, crashed to the ground.
"Senior Brother Xu..." Yi’an shouted nervously, wanting to support Xu Zhiping.
At this moment, Ye Chen had discerned roughly what was going on.
The poison on that divine stone, it dissolves strength, erodes life force and divine soul.
"Brother Yi, it’s bad, I’m poisoned!"
Ye Chen exclaimed in shock, staggering, then collapsed into a chair.
Just acting.
No need to be so miserable on the ground.
Sit, and watch the show!
"Brother Ye, how are you?" Yi’an was sweating anxiously.
What’s going on?
Ye Chen weakly shouted: "Brother Yi, hurry and call Celestial Cauldron Emperor!"
Since the person hiding in the shadows won’t come out, he can only force them to.
Completely unfazed!
If they resort to such sneaky poisoning methods, it means they’re very cautious, and their strength can’t be that strong.
Sure enough, right after Ye Chen shouted for Yi’an to call Celestial Cauldron Emperor, in an instant, an array covered and sealed off this area!
Yi’an’s face changed drastically.
He threw a punch, trying to break the seal.
"Boom!"
A massive palm imprint smashed Yi’an’s fist imprint, sending Yi’an flying to the ground.
Yi’an, lying on the ground, spat blood continuously, clearly heavily injured.
Ye Chen did not make a move.
Today’s matter had some connection to Yi’an, and he also wanted to see if Yi’an was completely unaware, or... if he had also participated in the scheme!
One must not be without caution.
The relationship with Yi’an was far from as deep as with Fatty Luo Tian and the others.
"Tsk tsk, Ye Chen, surprised to see me again, aren’t you?"
A sinister voice rang out, with Tong Mengling walking out, wearing an innocent and radiant smile. She held a dagger in one hand and touched the horns on her head with the other, grinning.
Behind Tong Mengling stood a man and a woman, both with strong auras, at the Saint Realm level.
"So it’s you." Ye Chen snorted coldly, still sitting on the chair, temporarily motionless.
"Miss Tong, save me... save me..."
Xu Zhiping, lying on the ground twitching, used all his strength to shout, his voice intermittent and weak.
Tong Mengling looked at Xu Zhiping, licking her lips with her tongue, and said, "Fool, you couldn’t even handle this little thing, keeping you is just a burden.
Now, this outcome is better than my original plan.
The Ye Chen of the Martial Alliance, and Xu Zhiping of the Wu Alliance, have a conflict, leading to both being destroyed, hahahaha!"
The severely injured Yi’an immediately sensed something was amiss. He mustered up his strength and dashed in front of Ye Chen, saying, "Brother Ye, I’ve implicated you. They want to kill you, but they’ll have to step over my dead body first!"
"Useless."
The Saint Realm woman following Tong Mengling snorted coldly, unleashing a terrifying Flame Law that engulfed Yi’an, pinning him to the ground.
Tong Mengling blinked her big eyes and said, "Natural Sea King, though it’s not true, you do indeed have a trace of the Heart of the Sea King’s aura. If I dig out your heart, maybe I can extract that aura."
With that, Tong Mengling took a step forward, squatting beside Xu Zhiping. She viciously stabbed a short dagger into Xu Zhiping’s head, twisting it around and turning his head into mush, simultaneously destroying his soul.
A look of intoxication appeared on Tong Mengling’s face as she giggled, "Interesting, fun."
She then turned her eyes to Ye Chen and grinned, saying, "Next, it’s your turn!"
She slowly stood up, using her pink tongue to lick the brain matter belonging to Xu Zhiping from the dagger, her face showing an innocent smile.
Yi’an struggled desperately, yet he was suppressed by the Saint Realm woman following Tong Mengling and couldn’t move.
Tong Mengling walked up to Ye Chen, staring at him, "Last time, you stabbed me once."
Ye Chen: "It’s a pity I didn’t kill you."
Tong Mengling sneered, "Too bad, you won’t have another chance. I will use this dagger to cut your flesh piece by piece, roast it, and eat it.
Your bones, I’ll use to make soup.
Oh yes, your head I’ll keep separately, to kick around like a ball every day.
It’s the first time I, Tong Mengling, have been stabbed since I was little, it made me very upset, and till this day I have nightmares every night.
Ye Chen, this is the price for provoking me.
Those who offend me, never meet a good end!"
Ye Chen smiled calmly, "Those who provoke me don’t fare well either!"
Tong Mengling sneered, "Is that so? But I’m just fine now, standing right in front of you. What can you do? At this moment, in my eyes, you’re no different from a stinkbug.
No, there’s a slight difference.
A stinkbug, I can just stomp to death.
As for you, you’ll wish for death without finding it!"
Ye Chen: "I don’t quite think so."
Tong Mengling: "Hehe, so what do you think?"
Ye Chen: "I think, this time I’ll kill you."
Tong Mengling: "Oh, I’m so scared. Come on, I’m right here in front of you. Stab me, don’t be polite, better stab me in creative ways, stab hard!"
"As you wish," Ye Chen said blandly. In the next moment, with a swish, a crisp sword tone echoed as the Celestial Mark Sword darted out, piercing through Tong Mengling’s forehead with a squelch.
"Miss!"
The Saint Realm men and women following Tong Mengling suddenly became extremely nervous, releasing a powerful aura of pressure, bearing down on Ye Chen.
"Get lost, or I’ll slaughter her," Ye Chen snapped coldly, already standing up, showing no sign of being affected by the Despairing Soul Powder.
The body immune to a thousand poisons, while not invincible to all toxins, was completely immune to substances used to poison the Slaying Saint Realm.
The two guards of Tong Mengling hesitated.
"Ye Chen, I warn you, don’t act recklessly, or you’ll be left without a burial place."
"Humph, our Celestial Child Emperor and Celestial Master Mingkong are both on Divine Mirror Island. If you continue to harm Miss, even your Martial Alliance’s Celestial Cauldron Emperor won’t be able to protect you!"
Ye Chen sneered, too lazy to bother with these two lackeys, instead glaring at Tong Mengling, "How’s that, did I hit the mark?"
Tong Mengling’s face twisted, blood gushing from her forehead, screaming miserably, "Coward, even so, what can you do, do you dare to kill me? Bastard, pull back your sword right away!"
Ye Chen scoffed.
Before coming, the Celestial Cauldron Emperor said that on this trip to Divine Mirror Island, fists speak louder than words.
But he wanted to keep a low profile.
After all, he hadn’t been in the Celestial Burial Sea for long, constantly causing a stir would be too conspicuous.
However.
When someone seeking death stands right in front asking for it.
If he still didn’t act, that wouldn’t be keeping a low profile, it would be cowardice!
"Last time I didn’t kill you, I regretted it. This time, you must die!" Ye Chen snapped coldly, the Celestial Mark Sword piercing Tong Mengling’s forehead unleashed a sharp burst of power.
With a booming sound.
Tong Mengling’s head exploded.
Immediately after, a mass of pure, powerful energy wrapped around Tong Mengling’s soul, fleeing into the distance.
"I said you must die today, so regardless of any life-saving cards you might have, you must die!" Ye Chen yelled with vigor, forty-nine holy swords shot out, the power of the Sword Array instantaneously trapping Tong Mengling’s soul.
"Kill!"
The Saint Realm men and women following Tong Mengling yelled angrily, attacking Ye Chen together.
Ye Chen swung a sword slash, the Invincible Sword Qi Dharma Aspect carried overwhelming sword light sweeping away, directly blasting these two Saint Realms away.
Immediately, Ye Chen stepped on golden light, a Kunpeng phantom appearing behind him, moving with unimaginable speed, charged to the Saint Realm man’s front, the sharp sword sweeping across, the Thunder Qilin Dharma Aspect transformed into a boundless sea of thunder, reducing the target to ashes.
Having forcefully slain one, Ye Chen flashed again, applying the same method, effortlessly killing the Saint Realm woman.
Without reaching the Great Saint, killing was effortless!
