Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1064: Chapter 1063: The Red-Haired One, Calamity Disperses at Last

"Rumble!"

Wherever Ye Chen passed, that solemn divine light shone, stirring up waves of deafening thunder.

Yet no matter how fast he went, in his perception, the distance between him and those scarlet eyes never grew any closer.

"Swoosh!"

Ye Chen swung his sword down.

Magnificent Sword Qi burst out, carrying a vast amount of Power of Law.

Even with this strike, he still couldn’t touch that pair of scarlet eyes.

Ye Chen stopped, standing with his sword in hand, the divine phenomena housed in his acupoints still maintained, and all eighty-one sacred swords continued to float around him.

Everything here was far too eerie, steeped in mystery and the unknown; he had no choice but to be cautious!

"You staring at me like this, you finding it fun?"

Ye Chen spoke, "What do you want? Why don’t you come out and have a proper talk? Maybe if I’m in a good mood, I’ll just give you what you’re after."

"Life."

At that moment, a cold voice rang out from within the darkness.

Ye Chen: "Whose life?"

"Yours."

Ye Chen’s lip twitched. "My life’s right here. Come and get it!"

Silence fell again in the darkness; only that pair of scarlet eyes continued to fix on Ye Chen.

Ye Chen: "You’re afraid of me, aren’t you?"

"What is there to fear in an ant?"

Ye Chen’s lip twitched. "You’re afraid of the phenomena around me. Fine, if you won’t come out, then stay there. We can drag this out and see who loses patience first!"

He could basically be certain that those scarlet eyes feared the divine phenomena brought about by the Celestial Stele Breathing Technique.

What followed was a long standoff.

Suddenly, Ye Chen’s aura grew chaotic, and the divine phenomena swirling around him began to violently fluctuate.

Ye Chen gritted his teeth and forcibly stabilized them!

But his face grew paler and paler.

The scarlet eyes in the darkness started to flicker with waves of bloody light.

Ye Chen gave a low roar: "Bastard, come out!"

The countless divine phenomena around him once again became unstable.

And so.

Another full half hour passed.

Ye Chen’s body staggered, and he nearly fell to the ground.

Just then.

The darkness surged, and that pair of scarlet eyes appeared before Ye Chen in an instant.

A hand, human-shaped yet covered in red fur, reached out from the darkness, grabbing for Ye Chen’s head.

The terrifying power contained in it far surpassed any Great Emperor standard Ye Chen knew. He even suspected that even if that old turtle from Aurora Island, who specialized in defense above the Emperor Realm, came here, it might not be able to block this red-furred hand!

So even with his Eternal Golden Body plus Law Battle Armor, Ye Chen had absolutely no chance of blocking this strike.

But...

Ye Chen felt no fear at all.

That terrifying power was about to fall upon him.

All of a sudden.

The divine phenomena from the Celestial Stele Breathing Technique, which had just collapsed and dispersed, reappeared once more!

Under that all-illuminating divine light—

The power unleashed by the red-furred hand turned into curls of white smoke.

The red fur on the hand suddenly ignited.

A massive scream of pain rang out from the darkness.

The red-furred hand instantly recoiled.

Ye Chen snorted coldly and swept his sword out horizontally.

Under the divine light emanating from the phenomena, that overwhelmingly powerful hand was fragile as paper. With a crisp swish, an arm severed from the forearm smashed onto the ground in front of Ye Chen.

The darkness instantly retreated and reverted to its previous state.

A trace of venomous hatred appeared in those scarlet eyes.

"Strong, very strong. But you don’t dare come near me. And you’re pretty damn stupid." Ye Chen snorted, finally feeling confident.

His earlier weakness had, of course, been an act.

This sort of thing, he was long used to.

When the Celestial Stele Breathing Technique ran, it cultivated three paths at once; it not only didn’t consume his strength, it was constantly making him stronger. How could it possibly leave him drained and weak?

"Return my hand, or this will never end until one of us dies."

That cold, deathly voice echoed from within the darkness.

Ye Chen grinned, pressed his foot down on the severed arm, and said, "If you want your arm back, then come and get it!"

"Hmph, sooner or later, you will regret this endlessly."

In the next instant.

The scarlet eyes in the darkness vanished.

All the bizarre scenes around Ye Chen dispersed, and he found himself once again in the room where Zhang Qianye was in closed-door death seclusion.

And beneath his foot, there was indeed an arm.

Much of the red fur had already burned away. The scorched areas revealed black arm bones.

And where this arm had been severed, there was not a drop of blood flowing. It was as if it were just a dried chunk of wood.

Ye Chen moved his mind, and hundreds of types of Power of Law swept out, wrapping the arm on the ground, then throwing it into the Sword Tomb.

"Picked up another one?"

Luo Qingyi’s voice transmission rang in Ye Chen’s mind.

Ye Chen: "Chopped it off. Don’t know what it belongs to. Very, very strong—at the very least it has god-level power!"

Master Legs: "Something that fierce, and you could still chop it?"

Ye Chen: "Strong is strong, but it’s got no brains. Help me ask Uncle Long if he knows what this thing is."

Luo Qingyi: "Uncle Long is busy; he went to the tenth level of the Sword Tomb."

Ye Chen: "Then it’s fine. Leave it there for now and let it keep Master Legs company."

Inside the Sword Tomb.

Master Legs: ???

Little Phoenix spat out a breath of phoenix flame but couldn’t burn off even a single strand of red fur. She muttered, "Master Legs, it’s your old companion. You play with it."

With that, Little Phoenix flapped her wings and chased after the departing Luo Qingyi.

Inside the room.

The chilly wind was still howling on.

Right now, if nothing unexpected happened, the power of the Taboo Calamity should be eroding Old Zhang’s substitute body.

Thus Ye Chen no longer unleashed the Celestial Stele Breathing Technique’s divine phenomena to disperse the yin wind; if he did, he would cut off the Taboo Calamity, and they’d have to go through all this trouble again next time.

Time flowed by slowly.

In that yin wind, Ye Chen had no idea how long had passed.

At last, the yin wind began to weaken, and Ye Chen’s senses gradually recovered.

Vaguely—

He saw that the substitute body belonging to Zhang Qianye at the side was undergoing strange changes.

Starting from the head, it was being erased bit by bit, moving downwards.

When that substitute had completely vanished—

The yin wind in the room also dissipated without a trace.

The environment outside the room likewise returned to normal.

"It worked!"

Joy flashed through Ye Chen’s heart.

This Li Dai Tao Jiang stratagem to deceive heaven and the world had finally gone off without a hitch.

Ye Chen immediately formed a series of hand seals, dispelling the restrictions concealing Zhang Qianye’s true body, then formed more seals to awaken Zhang Qianye!

As Zhang Qianye woke, confusion showed on his face. "How did it go?"

Ye Chen: "By rights, it should be fine now."

Zhang Qianye’s face instantly lit up with excitement. "Just now it felt really strange. It was like I had actually died once..."

Ye Chen gave a faint smile. "Old Zhang, congratulations on surviving this tribulation. But I suggest you don’t spread the news. Vanish for a while instead."

Zhang Qianye: "...There are still hidden dangers?"

Ye Chen: "Hidden forces are sometimes more useful than the ones out in the open."

Concealing a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser and using him to deal with sudden crises later would have absurdly good results!

And if he could also bring out and hide the Celestial Blade Emperor, whom everyone believed to be dead... and have him strike at a critical moment...

Ambushing and slaughtering a Great Emperor would be no problem at all!
