Chapter 741: Chapter 740: Madness!
Silence!
At this moment.
The vastness of Void Peak was filled with a deathly silence. It was as if even the wind had ceased. Everyone was staring in shock at the blue-clad, silver-haired youth ahead, not daring to make a sound.
The entire Law Enforcement Team was brought down by a single step from this youth!
Qi Yeheng had a sword through his chest, Cheng Hu’s arm was broken by a punch, and Xia Ji’s life hung in uncertainty.
Since they stepped into the Task Hall from the Law Enforcement Team, merely half a stick of incense had passed. Half a stick of incense ago, a grand team consisting of several Human Immortal Fifth Layers and dozens of Human Immortal Fourth Layers came storming in with overwhelming force.
Such overwhelming and arrogant momentum!
The sword mark drawn by Ye Qingchen, the casual remark of ’killing but not burying,’ seemed like the boastful words of a youth ignorant of the world to the onlookers!
But now.
Who can still stand in the field?
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Just then.
A series of urgent coughs came from afar, startling everyone who turned to look at the source. Qi Yeheng, somehow free from the Star Sword, was vomiting blood in large amounts.
Being able to stand half-fallen was a testament to his deep foundation as a Human Immortal Fifth Layer.
"Do you still want to capture me now?"
Ye Qingchen, with his hands behind his back, looked at Qi Yeheng with a half-smile.
"Ye Qingchen, do you think that defeating our Law Enforcement Team will allow you to rest easy?" Qi Yeheng, bloodshot eyes fixated on Ye Qingchen: "Attacking the Law Enforcement Team is equivalent to rebellion! Anyone in Taotian Palace can kill you!"
As the words fell.
The surroundings first fell silent, then came the sound of weapons unsheathing, including Yuan Ye, who drew his sword with a sullen face.
There were already many disciples in the Task Hall.
Combined with other disciples drawn by the battle, the number was not just in the hundreds, nearly reaching a thousand!
Among them, there were even some at the Human Immortal Fourth and Fifth Layers.
They either knew the situation or did not, but at this moment, it no longer mattered. Taotian Palace rules stated that the Law Enforcement Team had the right to enforce sect law. Attacking the Law Enforcement Team was akin to betraying the sect.
Everyone wanted to execute him!
In an instant, Ye Qingchen found himself surrounded, with enemies in every direction.
"Hmm?"
Ye Qingchen stood with hands behind his back, his expression growing ever colder.
Clang!
Seemingly sensing his menacing intent, the Star Sword, amid a fierce sword cry, transformed into a streak of starlight and swiftly flew to Ye Qingchen’s front.
Almost instantly, Ye Qingchen’s previously restrained killing intent surged once more.
Boom!
At this moment.
The originally ready-to-act Taotian Palace disciples suddenly had a drastic change in expression, too terrified to move forward.
Because.
They had seen Ye Qingchen’s formidable stance earlier, where even Human Immortal Fifth Layers couldn’t withstand a single sword from him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the two sides were at a standoff, several streaks of light rapidly flew across the sky. These light streaks descended above the Task Hall, revealing their figures.
Seeing them.
These arrivals, stepping out of the light, stood in the void, some with flames blazing around them, others with lightning arcing, mist swirling and boiling, or light illuminating everywhere. They all presented an immensely formidable posture.
Standing above the void, like descending Divine Demons!
These individuals were none other than the Void Peak Elders.
Upon appearing, they immediately turned their gaze toward Ye Qingchen.
Previously.
Such fierce combat, how intense it was. It turned the entire Task Hall into ruins. They never expected that a Human Immortal Second Layer disciple could achieve such a feat.
Looking at the Task Hall, now reduced to rubble, and the Law Enforcement Team members either dead or severely wounded, the Elders’ eyes turned cold:
"Ye Qingchen, how audacious you are!"
"Do you truly believe that with Su Moran backing you, you can act recklessly within Taotian Palace?"
Rumble!
Their furious roar, like a crashing thunder, crazily echoed, rampantly sweeping through, like a cannon’s roar, stunning everyone and making them dizzy, their Qi Blood surging.
Upon hearing the sound, the surrounding Taotian Palace disciples were initially stunned, then shouted in unison!
"Elder Wang!"
"Elder Lin!"
"Elder Ye!"
Bear in mind.
These elders, though not top-level Earth Immortals like Marquis Guangjun, all have the cultivation of Earth Immortals at the very least. Even a single one of them appearing would be enough to kill Ye Qingchen without a trace, let alone so many appearing at once!
Seeing so many elders appear, Qi Yeheng, who was originally a bit worried, suddenly had a look of ecstasy in his eyes, as if he had grasped a lifeline, loudly exclaiming:
"Elders!"
"This Ye Qingchen is brazen and lawless!"
"We were ordered to capture Ye Qingchen, but not only did he not surrender, he even attacked and injured us. Elders, please make the decision for us and eliminate him!"
As the words fell, several elders in the sky were already looking over simultaneously.
In an instant.
Tremendous pressure from several overwhelming forces descended swiftly without any warning.
Bang!
This immense pressure, generated by several Earth Immortals, was incredibly violent and savage. It immediately transformed into a visible wave, crashing down hard on Ye Qingchen.
The terrifying force caused Ye Qingchen’s body to tremble, forcing him to retreat several steps, leaving a long string of steely footprints on the ground!
"Ye Qingchen, surrender now!"
"You’ve committed a capital crime. If you surrender, perhaps we can leave you a whole corpse!"
"Yes, indeed!"
At the same time.
That daunting, murderous voice descended like it came from the heavens above.
Swoosh!
At this moment.
Everyone’s gaze turned towards Ye Qingchen.
"He’s a dead man!"
Xu Hao clenched his fist, a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.
With nearly a thousand Human Immortals on the scene and almost ten Earth Immortal-level elders, Ye Qingchen had nowhere to escape. Moreover, this was just the strength of one of Taotian Palace’s peaks, with six other peaks still remaining.
Even if he searched the Yellow Springs and Jade Fall, Ye Qingchen had no burial place!
"I want to see how you escape this."
Qi Yeheng, too, wore a cold expression.
Even if he wasn’t a match for Ye Qingchen, Taotian Palace had plenty of people to suppress him. Today, Ye Qingchen was destined to die without a doubt!
Ye Qingchen was seen lowering his head silently, his eyes slightly downcast, appearing as if he had completely given up to everyone.
After all.
No matter who it is, facing such a situation, there’s no escape!
However.
Who would have expected that, facing thousands of Human Immortals and nearly ten Earth Immortals, when everyone thought Ye Qingchen had given up, he suddenly lifted his head, cold light blazing in his eyes:
"Surrender and confess?"
"What crime have I committed?"
"If you want to capture me, first see if the sword in my hand agrees!"
After saying that.
Ye Qingchen suddenly took a step forward, grasping the Star Sword in his hand.
Almost the moment he held the Star Sword.
The killing intent that was already raging and boiling within him surged several times in an instant, his silver hair fluttering without wind, and his robes rustling fiercely, enveloped by boundless, infinite killing intent.
Boom!
At that moment, the void shook violently.
Everyone was utterly stunned, unable to believe it.
No one expected that Ye Qingchen would be so arrogant, refusing to bow even in such a desperate and deadly situation.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Hearing Ye Qingchen’s words, the several Earth Immortal elders in the sky were already raging with fury.
One of the elders was so infuriated he laughed, saying grimly:
"If so, then you shall die!"
As he spoke.
He already stretched out his massive hand, True Qi surging and rolling. The furious flames around him roared fiercely, almost reaching the sky, even dyeing the entire horizon red.
Just as he was about to strike.
A sudden cold laugh echoed in the sky, followed by a clear voice resounding above Void Peak:
"How audacious you are, Void Peak!"
"Daring to touch someone from Heaven-Shocking Peak?"
Boom!
Accompanying this clear voice, a green figure suddenly tore through the void without any warning, appearing above Void Peak and in front of everyone.
