Chapter 1012 - 1011: Mercy Does Not Save Those Who Reject It
What kind of existence is Hong Xuan?
He is a tributor of the Medicine God Hall, a mighty figure at the Earth Immortal Eighth Layer, known as the Mixed Element Saber. He once broke into the Daluo Sect at night, stole the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, and retreated unharmed. This shows his strength!
He resented Ye Qingchen for belittling him earlier, so when he took action, it was an absolute killing move.
"Clang!"
A sudden fierce saber sound erupted, and the white, surging Sword Qi poured down like a torrent, flooding towards Ye Qingchen. Before the saber arrived, the Sword Qi had already descended, even splitting the river surface.
Even the riverbed, hundreds of feet deep, revealed the sharpness of the Sword Qi!
"Kid, you claim to be an awe-inspiring presence in the Kunlun Realm, a presence that countless people fear!"
"I don’t believe it!"
Hong Xuan’s voice was like a booming bell, shaking the void and resounding everywhere.
Not only did Hong Xuan not believe.
Almost no one present believed.
Those who awe the Kunlun Realm are all extraordinary, determining life and death with a word, moving heavens and earth. Though Ye Qingchen possesses an unparalleled Alchemy Dao, he is still far from that level.
"I want to see what ability this kid truly has!"
Le Tian stood with his arms crossed, seemingly amused.
Mr. Lin Long lowered his gaze, apparently not taking Ye Qingchen seriously.
Zhou Jiutian focused all his attention on the Crimson Mist Cauldron before him, his mind boiling, barely suppressing his excitement. While others in the scene were either complacent, sneering, or indifferent.
Clearly, no one believed that this arrogant young man would survive this ordeal!
However.
Ye Qingchen raised his head, grinned, and slowly turned his hand!
Suddenly.
With a raise of his hand, he overturned clouds and rain, reversing the cosmos!
"Boom!"
A sudden and fierce roar erupted.
There it is.
An immense invisible force, almost without warning, slammed down heavily. The entire Nine Bends River trembled violently at that moment, and the huge river surface directly sunk into a pit hundreds of feet deep.
This pit was clearly a handprint, even blasting into a huge handprint on the riverbed below.
It was as if a deity had descended with a palm!
Under this irresistible tremendous force, Hong Xuan, bearing the brunt of it, didn’t even have time to scream before being crushed into nothingness, all traces completely erased!
The entire scene fell silent.
Only the frantic waves fanned out in all directions.
No one expected that this seemingly fragile young man would crush Hong Xuan into powder with just a raise of his hand.
"Misjudged?" Le Tian’s face sank,
Mr. Lin Long suddenly opened his eyes, piercing with a chilling gaze.
And Zhou Jiutian was utterly stunned.
He knew Hong Xuan’s strength better than anyone. Even that previous strike was something he couldn’t withstand. But now, that immensely boastful young man had completely obliterated him?
"Zhou Jiutian, I already gave you a chance, but you chose the path you shouldn’t have chosen!"
Ye Qingchen slowly withdrew his right hand and shook his head, seeming extremely regretful. "If you had kept your promise, you could still use the Alchemy Furnace for three years, but now you might only have the dead end!"
Zhou Jiutian, being the master of the Medicine God Hall and the underground leader of Panlong City, quickly came to his senses after a brief shock, and spoke coldly: "Kid, do you truly believe that by killing Hong Xuan, you’ve secured victory?"
"It’s not over yet!"
He observed the opponent, who was only at the Earth Immortal Fifth Layer in cultivation.
At such an age, reaching this realm was extremely rare. But no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t kill Hong Xuan of Earth Immortal Eighth Layer with a single palm; perhaps he used some magical treasure.
Being an Alchemist, it wasn’t surprising for him to possess protective magical treasures!
"Let me try!" Le Tian, resembling the Maitreya Buddha, stepped forward with his trademark smile, "This kid has some wickedness, let the old monk test his skills!"
"Why don’t you just all attack together, maybe there’s still a glimmer of hope!"
Ye Qingchen said with an indifferent gaze.
"Kid, don’t be so arrogant, Hong Xuan’s strength among us Earth Immortal Eighth Layer experts is just at the bottom! He was killed by you due to carelessness, do you really think you can look down on all of us?"
Le Tian sneered.
Although he was a secular disciple of the Vajra Temple, he was deeply cultivated in multiple martial arts, and his strength was far beyond comparison to Hong Xuan.
"Amitabha!"
Le Tian clasped his hands, chanting the Buddhist mantra.
Buzz!
His ancient Kasaya suddenly billowed without wind, enveloped in Buddhist light, his True Qi surged out, forming an embodiment of Furious Vajra.
Boom!
This Furious Vajra stood eight hundred feet tall, its entire body glowing with golden light, and a towering golden mountain appeared.
When the Vajra emerged, it immediately extended four huge palms grabbing towards the sky. Amidst the surging Buddhist light, they transformed into four huge Demon-Subduing Pestles, sweeping out like four golden lightning bolts, whistling towards Ye Qingchen.
"Le Tian’s Demon Suppressing Technique has become increasingly refined! Although he isn’t a true Buddhist monk, his moves contain more lethal sharpness!"
Mr. Lin Long said blandly.
The crowd nodded slightly.
Another cultivator at the Earth Immortal Eighth Layer secretly shook his head. If he were in that position, facing Le Tian’s four Demon-Subduing Pestles, he’d have to choose to center and unify, blocking the strike.
But once so, he would then face Le Tian’s relentless mercurial attacks. As they say, defense eventually weakens, and once breached, defeat follows.
"How will he block?"
At this moment.
Everyone held their breath slightly, looking forward.
Ye Qingchen stood there casually, seemingly unprepared.
"Le Tian, first destroy this kid’s physical body. I want to capture his soul..." Zhou Jiutian smirked coldly, yet before finishing, his smile froze.
In the incredulous gaze of everyone.
Ye Qingchen simply stood there, casually flicking his finger!
"Whoosh!"
A streak of Sword Qi, swiftly whirred forth.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The four towering Buddhist light Demon-Subduing Pestles shattered almost instantly, dissipating into countless points of light.
"What?"
Le Tian’s pupils contracted, exclaiming in surprise.
But being a strong Earth Immortal Eighth Layer, he quickly returned to normal. He clasped his hands fiercely, and the colossal Furious Vajra behind him rapidly posed four hands toward the sky, summoning a giant Golden Bell, directly encasing him, protecting Le Tian all around.
Buddha Light Glazed Bell!
Le Tian’s most powerful defensive technique!
However.
It couldn’t withstand this Sword Qi at all, being ripped on the spot. The surge continued relentlessly, piercing through Le Tian’s head, trailing a trickle of blood!
This tributor that Zhou Jiutian spent a fortune to hire was once again obliterated with a single finger, even his trademark smile never had the chance to fade!
"Thud!"
Le Tian’s corpse fell heavily to the ground.
Instantly.
The entire scene turned silent.
