Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1017: Chapter 1016: Fulfilling the Bet, Sudden Killing Blow

The subtle black beams of light give people an illusion of a deep abyss.

Who could have imagined that the divine stone Ye Chen chose had been fragmented down to the size of a soybean, yet in the end, he achieved a miraculous turnaround!

"Black Abyss Divine Iron!"

The elder responsible for stone-cutting regained his composure from shock and revealed the origin of the item emitting the black beams.

Just the words "Divine Iron" were enough to decide the winner between Ye Chen and Zhang Hao in their gambling wager.

Divine Iron, a material for crafting divine weapons.

Even if it’s only the size of a grain of rice, it’s infinitely more precious than Zhang Hao’s shining crystal stone!

The two are completely incomparable, on entirely different levels.

Zhang Hao, who had been smug just moments before, now had a face ashen as death.

He lost!

A moment later.

The elder finally completely extracted Ye Chen’s Black Abyss Divine Iron and handed it to Ye Chen.

"Thank you for your hard work, senior." Ye Chen said politely.

The elder replied with a smile, "This is indeed within my duties. Young Master Ye, so talented in both Martial Dao and Flesh Dao at such a young age, and unexpectedly skilled in the path of Divine Appraisers; I’m impressed!"

Ye Chen exchanged a few polite words with the elder before taking the Black Abyss Divine Iron, turning to the pale-faced Zhang Hao, and said, "Do you admit defeat or not?"

Zhang Hao’s lips trembled, unable to utter a single word.

Ye Chen sneered, raising his hand. Instantly, the fragments from the stone-cutting floated up and flew to Zhang Hao’s front.

"Eat it!"

Zhang Hao: "Ye Chen, you’re still very young, your path is long, don’t be too ruthless in your actions!"

Ye Chen looked at Sikong Zhaixing and said, "At an event held by Divine Mirror Island, this kind of gambling wager, Divine Mirror Island should help enforce it, right?"

Sikong Zhaixing’s anxious heart finally settled, and with relaxed brows, he looked at Zhang Hao and said, "Master Zhang is a well-known figure in Celestial Burial Sea. Divine Mirror Island also hopes not to resort to force in executing this wager. Master Zhang, don’t make things difficult for our Divine Mirror Island."

Zhang Hao turned to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, I know you’re adept at Sword Dao. If you agree to call off the bet today, I Zhang Hao will gift you a Celestial Tier top-grade sword technique!"

Ye Chen: "Emperor Mutian, Celestial Cauldron Emperor, Celestial Blade Emperor are all close friends of mine. Would I lack Celestial Tier top-grade martial arts?"

Frankly speaking, even taboo-level ones... are not lacking!

Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and said: "I’ll also give you a Half-Step Emperor Weapon grade sword!"

Ye Chen: "Who said earlier that if they lost, they would execute the wager without hesitation?"

Zhang Hao’s face turned livid, having messed up immensely today, repeatedly contradicting himself!

"Ye Chen, must you push me?!" Zhang Hao shouted angrily.

Ye Chen sneered: "I sat here intending to quietly broaden my horizons, yet you all pointed your fingers at me, thinking I’m a soft persimmon. Now that you realize you can’t squeeze me, it’s become my fault for pushing you?

Old codger, wanting to be respected while playing dirty?

No matter what you say today, you’re going to eat these stone fragments and then kneel before me and gouge out your eyes!"

Here, there’s no notion of showing mercy.

If I had lost, would these people have let me off?

Absolutely not!

Therefore, Ye Chen did not retreat a single step; whatever the wager was, it must be fulfilled!

"Isle Master Sikong, since he wants to violate the wager, then forcibly suppress and enforce it." Ye Chen said, looking at Sikong Zhaixing.

"I will eat!"

Zhang Hao shouted loudly.

Though Divine Mirror Island has declined, it is not something he, a loose cultivator, can oppose.

If forcibly suppressed by Divine Mirror Island, what should happen would still happen, so it would be better to personally fulfill the wager himself, suffering less in the process!

The next moment, Zhang Hao’s body suddenly enlarged, his mouth opened wide, and he inhaled sharply, sucking all the stone fragments floating before him into his mouth.

For an Emperor Realm powerhouse, consuming a whole mountain posed no issue; it could be digested easily.

But Zhang Hao ate divine stone fragments... Hence, when his body returned to its original size, his stomach bulged enormously.

Such humiliation made Zhang Hao’s eyes blood-red.

Ye Chen coldly said: "Kneel, three kowtows, and gouge out your eyes!"

Zhang Hao took a deep breath and immediately, very swiftly, knelt and kowtowed three times, then stood back up.

At this moment, Zhang Hao’s hatred toward Ye Chen had reached its peak!

Ye Chen was unconcerned and said: "Gouge out your eyes."

Zhang Hao gritted his teeth.

Gouging out his eyes wasn’t too problematic for him, after all, his Pupil Technique Divine Techniques were quite poor. Even if they were discarded, growing a new pair of eyes wouldn’t greatly impact his Divine Appraiser abilities.

However...

It was too humiliating.

Yet he had no choice but to comply!

Zhang Hao hesitated for a long time, then shouted, and two bursts of power exploded at his eyes!

Just then.

"Slash!"

Ye Chen drew his sword and struck.

Amidst the magnificent sword light, dragons soared and phoenixes danced, thunder qilin roared, directly overwhelming Zhang Hao’s figure.

Subsequently, a multitude of holy swords flew, launching a concentrated onslaught against Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao, having just ruined his own eyes and caught completely off-guard, despite having an Emperor Realm cultivation, had no time to react, and within moments, his physical body was brutally shattered by Ye Chen.

"Die!"

Ye Chen shouted, and with a single strike, unleashed the power of Taiyan Fire Seal’s fourth transformation onto Zhang Hao.

"Boom!"

The fire seal’s power exploded violently, unleashing a terrifying wave of heat, causing the flesh of Emperor Realm Zhang Hao to utterly disintegrate.

Ye Chen’s aggression reignited, one powerful sword array assault followed another, with Taiyan Fire Seal erupting repeatedly.

Thunderous booms rang without pause.

After more than ten breaths, Zhang Hao’s divine soul was also obliterated by Ye Chen!

Emperor Realm has fallen.

The entire Divine Mirror Island was filled with intense vibrations from the Great Dao!

Everyone felt their scalp tingling.

Ruthless!

Extremely ruthless!

Even after winning the wager and Zhang Hao fulfilling it, Ye Chen suddenly delivered a fatal strike.

Although Zhang Hao wasn’t skilled in combat, he was genuinely an Emperor Realm powerhouse. However... he wasn’t given even the slightest chance to fight back; he died in unfathomable humiliation at Ye Chen’s hands.

This scene.

Even Sikong Zhaixing’s eyelids twitched repeatedly.

Earlier, he did have the opportunity to save Zhang Hao, but... he chose not to intervene.

After having killed Zhang Hao, Ye Chen’s expression remained calm, as if he had done something trivial.

From the start, he intended to slay that old bastard.

But unable to win in a direct fight, he resorted to a sudden attack.

Winning the wager and humiliating Zhang Hao actually meant little; it was more troublesome to have a top-tier Earth Tier Divine Appraiser hold a grudge...

So kill him, and it’s settled once and for all!

Moreover.

Having killed Zhang Hao, naturally, Zhang Hao’s storage ring was also taken as a matter of course.

The swordsmanship and Half-Step Emperor Weapon he previously offered as terms... were now his.

Ye Chen’s spiritual power poured into the storage ring, immediately cursing: "Poor wretch!"

Turns out, this sham was all a lie!

Ye Chen again felt it was the right choice to kill Zhang Hao; such a despicable and insidious adversary, if left alive, would undoubtedly cause endless trouble in the future!
