Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1073: Chapter 1072: Outbreak, Poison Pill, Revelation!

Ninth Elder looked at Eleventh Elder with a puzzled expression and said, "Eleventh Elder, what do you mean by this?"

Eleventh Elder smiled and said, "Nothing, just feeling a bit sentimental."

Ninth Elder said, "Emperor Tian Wan is the supreme existence of our Ten Thousand Islands Sect. Whatever Emperor Tian Wan says, the Ten Thousand Islands Sect must do. Eleventh Elder, I hope you will always remember this principle."

Eleventh Elder replied with a hmm and said, "Unfortunately, that’s your Ten Thousand Islands Sect’s principle, not... my principle!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Suddenly.

Blades of sacred sword light burst forth, violently slashing the Ninth Elder of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect and sending him flying backward.

Immediately after.

Intense flames ignited.

The Ninth Elder of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect, caught off guard, had his body shattered to pieces!

"Die!"

A cold shout echoed.

The Eleventh Elder of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect transformed into Ye Chen’s appearance!

The real Eleventh Elder of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect had already been thunderously killed by Ye Chen.

If it weren’t for being inside the Black Tide, posing as another Emperor Realm in front of an Emperor Realm powerhouse would have been impossible.

The Black Tide became his best cover!

Within moments, the Ninth Elder of Ten Thousand Islands Sect was beaten half-dead by Ye Chen.

Ye Chen gripped the Celestial Master Chen Seal, channeling the power of divine stones into the Celestial Mark Sword. He stepped on golden light, with a Kunpeng spread its wings behind him, instantly charging to the mangled body of the Ninth Elder of Ten Thousand Islands Sect, slicing down with powerful force.

"Swish!"

The Ninth Elder of Ten Thousand Islands Sect, dead!

Fortunately, this was a forbidden zone, with Black Tide surging. No celestial phenomenon appeared upon the Emperor Realm’s fall. Even though the commotion of the battle was loud, no one could extend their spiritual power to investigate the truth!

Moreover.

The Black Tide greatly affected the Emperor Realm powerhouses, making it impossible for the Ninth Elder of Ten Thousand Islands Sect to sense much.

Besides, the Ninth Elder of Ten Thousand Islands Sect never expected any trouble and had no vigilance at all!

Ye Chen, disguised as the Eleventh Elder of Ten Thousand Islands Sect, while obtaining the secret of Emperor Tian Wan and Evil Spirit Heaven-Hating Emperor’s transaction, found the Ninth Elder useless and thus attacked and killed directly!

After killing the Ninth Elder of Ten Thousand Islands Sect.

Ye Chen put his mask back on and immediately went to catch up with Xiao Yong’s group from Ten Thousand Islands Sect. Silently, he returned to the back of the team, quickly increased his speed, returned to his original position, and protected the innocent lad Luo Tian.

Xiao Yong was unsettled at this moment.

He heard the commotion from the battle earlier.

He wanted to leave and investigate but found it inconvenient, as he had a large party of thousands behind him. They were supposed to be a gift for Evil Spirit Heaven-Hating Emperor. If they were lost, it would delay Emperor Tian Wan’s plan advancement, which would be a responsibility he couldn’t handle.

After much consideration, Xiao Yong made a decision.

He stopped and turned to the crowd, saying, "Everyone, I have a feeling the evil spirit will appear soon. To allow everyone to battle the evil spirit better within the Black Tide, I have some elixirs to distribute.

These elixirs have been specially developed by our Ten Thousand Islands Sect for the Black Tide environment. After consumption, they can temporarily mitigate the adverse effects of the Black Tide.

However...

The elixirs are limited and only for Saint Realm consumption!

Now, I ask all Saint Realm individuals to come and claim one elixir from me!"

Upon hearing this.

The Saints among the crowd reacted with excitement.

An elixir that can weaken the adverse effects of Black Tide is something they’ve never heard of before.

But since this elixir is from Ten Thousand Islands Sect, it makes perfect sense. In Celestial Burial Sea, the Ten Thousand Islands Sect is the first giant. Developing such an elixir is perfectly reasonable!

The Saints among the crowd immediately rushed forward madly to obtain the elixir from Xiao Yong.

With this in hand, the chances of survival increased severalfold!

Ye Chen also wanted to see what the elixir was about, so he went forward to claim one. The moment he swallowed the elixir, a stream of sword yuan wrapped around it.

"Elder Xiao, why do I feel no change after swallowing the elixir?" someone asked with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Yong replied, "This elixir is very special. Even after being refined, it takes time to take effect, which is why I asked everyone to take it in advance. Otherwise, if you encounter the evil spirit and only then consume the elixir, it would be too late."

No one doubted Xiao Yong’s explanation.

Ye Chen held the elixir in his mouth without showing any emotion, returning to his original position.

Ye Chen noticed that the innocent lad Luo Tian kept staring at him!

Could it be that he has been recognized?

It shouldn’t be!

The mask he wore wasn’t the standard issue of the Asura Army, but something he made casually.

Beside, his current aura is entirely different from his original one, and he also made substantial changes to his physique!

Ye Chen continued to return to his original position.

Yet Luo Tian still turned his head to look at him.

Ye Chen’s eyes, exposed outside the mask, flashed with a fierce light, glaring at Luo Tian: "What are you looking at? I have a bad temper—mess with me, and I’ll beat you to doubt your life!"

Luo Tian said not a word, but he did stop looking at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen stared at the back of Luo Tian’s head, wanting to slap it!

...

The team continued to follow Xiao Yong and moved forward in the Black Tide.

After a while longer.

Xiao Yong said, "Further ahead, we might encounter the evil spirit. Do not act rashly here; I will go ahead and take a look first."

Ye Chen’s lips curved into a cold smile, immediately flying forward to say, "Elder Xiao, there’s one thing I don’t quite understand."

Xiao Yong glanced at Ye Chen and said, "Now isn’t the time to answer your question. Whatever it is, wait until we’ve repelled the active evil spirit in this area before discussing at the lighthouse!"

Ye Chen said, "Elder Xiao, do you think we’ll be able to return?"

Xiao Yong replied, "Although there will be casualties, we’ll definitely come back."

Ye Chen sneered, "Then, Elder Xiao, do you hope for us to return alive?"

Xiao Yong furrowed his brows and asked, "What do you mean?"

Ye Chen said, "The elixir Elder Xiao handed out earlier should take effect about half an hour after consumption, should it not?"

Xiao Yong’s face changed dramatically!

Ye Chen said, "There’s just a short time left before the half-hour mark. Elder Xiao might want to wait for the elixir’s effects to start before exploring ahead, so even if Elder Xiao is not here, those of us who consumed it can exert relatively full combat power, guaranteeing safety!"

Ye Chen did not know much about the elixir, so he tossed it into the Sword Tomb earlier to let Master Legs take a look.

Master Legs identified it as a poisonous elixir targeting the Saints, and that after half an hour, the poison would erupt.

Regardless of the Martial Arts Saint Realm’s rule seeds, Spirit Dao Sacred Realm’s Dao Pattern Spirit Seal, or Flesh Dao Saint Realm’s Qi Blood, they would be subject to extreme erosion!

Xiao Yong said, "Delaying the time and affecting the overall plan, can you take responsibility?!"

Ye Chen coldly replied, "Elder Xiao, I would like to know if you can take responsibility for what’s going to happen next."

Xiao Yong’s patience vanished completely, and he with a vicious expression launched a palm attack, the domain’s power blasting towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen flickered away easily.

"Elder Xiao, are you desperate like a cornered dog?"

Xiao Yong said, "What nonsense! You are deliberately making trouble, and don’t blame me for being rude!"

Just then.

A sudden scream emerged from the crowd.

The first Saint who received and swallowed the elixir from Xiao Yong fell to the ground, body twitching, the power of laws running rampant inside him...

Then, the second Saint who swallowed the elixir fell!

In just a few breaths, over a dozen Saints were in trouble!

Ye Chen shouted, "The elixir given by treacherous Xiao Yong is poisonous! Everyone who swallowed it, cease all internal power activity immediately, or you will lose all cultivation within fifteen minutes!"

Everyone’s faces turned bewildered...

After bewilderment, there was an explosion of endless rage!

Xiao Yong, who hadn’t managed to leave, wore a terrifyingly dark expression, his eyes fixed on Ye Chen with icy murderous intent.

"Even if you know, it’s still too late. You all must die!"

Ye Chen remained extremely calm, saying, "That may not be the case."

In the next moment.

A horrifying Sword Qi descended from the sky, slashing towards Xiao Yong.

Ye Chen: "..."

Hanhan Luo Tian, taciturn yet ruthless, unexpectedly acted first...
