Chapter 2202: Chapter 2299: How Could It Be Him? (Second Update)
"I’ll accompany you." But Xue Hanyue was unwilling. At this moment, she truly wanted to stay by Su Chen’s side all the time.
"There’s no need." Su Chen resolutely refused. Xue Hanyue’s fame was evidently quite notable, coupled with her stunning looks. Walking alongside him in the crowded streets of Tianheng Holy Realm, where Martial Cultivators were everywhere, was sure to attract trouble.
Su Chen wasn’t afraid of trouble, but tomorrow’s marriage meeting was too important. It concerned an ingredient in Fei Jin’s Soul-Locking Pill, and he couldn’t afford to be sloppy. It was better to keep a low profile.
After all, he had already met Xue Hanyue and knew she was within the Sixth Rank Cold Abyss Palace. Everything was confirmed, and he could meet her any time after the meeting.
"Alright." Xue Hanyue nodded heavily, listening to Su Chen.
"Thank you, Master Yun Tie." Su Chen then turned to Master Yun Tie, expressing his gratitude.
He then glanced at Ye Zhi, his expression somewhat complicated. In truth, Su Chen couldn’t figure Ye Zhi out; she was too peculiar.
A bit erratic.
Clearly an enemy, yet seemingly not wanting him dead.
Su Chen could see the complexity in Ye Zhi’s beautiful eyes; there was hatred, anger, unwillingness, admiration, and bitterness—a mix of emotions.
A woman’s heart is hard to fathom.
Nevertheless, today, even if Ye Zhi acted foolishly, she still wanted to save him, which made Su Chen remember her a little.
In the next moment.
Su Chen left.
He had many tasks ahead, with no time to waste; first, acquire some intel, then let the Illusion Crystal absorb the newly obtained materials.
Time was tight.
Su Chen moved, disappearing instantly.
Leaving all the Martial Cultivators on the twenty-first floor stunned for a long time.
After a long while.
Ying Jin finally reacted, drenched in sweat.
He felt he had narrowly escaped death.
"Too terrifying, that kid actually... actually... possesses such frightening strength. Almost one with the Domain Master Realm, right?" Ying Jin thought to himself, just the thought made him tremble; not even five hundred years old! Already nearing the Domain Master Realm’s strength, truly horrifying.
Next time encountering Su Chen, he should keep away.
"Yun Tie, my family’s Young Master is dead, you can’t escape the responsibility!" The limping old man’s face was extremely grim; under his protection, the Young Master died—an enormous guilt.
However, he was genuinely powerless.
He was locked onto by Master Yun Tie.
Couldn’t save the Young Master at all.
Couldn’t even avenge the Young Master.
Could only watch Su Chen leave.
All because of Master Yun Tie.
The limping old man bore intense hatred towards Master Yun Tie, his killing intent practically materialized.
"Suit yourself." Master Yun Tie was indifferent. Flame Valley was indeed formidable, and Chen Tianxu, as one of the strongest of Flame Valley’s youth, had perished. Flame Valley would surely be enraged.
But Master Yun Tie was confident in facing all of this; his networking was fearsome.
As a top-level artifact refining master, countless top-level strong individuals sought to curry favor with him, truly unafraid of Flame Valley.
"Hmph." The limping old man’s face grew sourer, almost like pig liver, as he prepared to leave.
However, he was locked on by Master Yun Tie: "Limping, you can’t leave for now."
Master Yun Tie feared the limping old man would pursue Su Chen, putting Su Chen in danger. Better to trap the limping old man here until Su Chen had moved further away.
"Yun Tie, you’re something." The limping old man nearly spat blood, his old face trembling with venomous rage, but helpless; his strength was on par with Master Yun Tie.
"When you’re healed, I’ll challenge you." Ye Zhi spoke, her flushed face calming somewhat as she looked at Xue Hanyue and said earnestly. For now, with Xue Hanyue’s injuries not fully healed, she didn’t want to exploit this.
"Alright." Xue Hanyue nodded, then hesitated before saying: "Thank you."
Then Ye Zhi prepared to leave.
However.
Just at that moment.
Suddenly.
"Ye Zhi!!! You, courting death!" A cold voice suddenly enveloped the entire twenty-first floor. Even scarier was the voice carried pure, sky-defying killing intent and a domineering aura aiming to crush everything.
This Qi directly locked onto Ye Zhi.
Ye Zhi’s body trembled, her delicate figure retreating wildly, nearly falling to the ground, face pale, blood at the corners of her mouth.
Immediately weakened immensely.
Ye Zhi’s beautiful eyes were full of shock.
Unmatched shock.
So strong.
Merely the aura could suppress her into heavy injury.
That... That... This is the Domain Master Realm; not an ordinary Domain Master Realm.
Ye Zhi almost confirmed that with one move, the opponent could kill her, like crushing an ant.
Ye Zhi couldn’t breathe, staring ahead intensely, her heart filled with extreme horror.
Who... who is it?
In the next moment.
A figure appeared before everyone.
"Xue... Xue Chi..." Ye Zhi’s voice trembled, violently shook.
Ye Zhi’s mind couldn’t function.
It’s Xue Chi?
It shouldn’t be!
Xue Chi’s rank on the Ascension List was higher than hers.
Strength perhaps just slightly higher than hers, but absolutely only slightly.
Ye Zhi had confidence she could surpass Xue Chi shortly.
In her view, Xue Chi wasn’t nearly as potential-ridden as herself and Xue Hanyue.
How after some time without seeing, suddenly...
The cold, domineering, powerful, incomparable figure before her—was it truly Xue Chi?
Xue Chi seemed dozens of times terrifying than a short while ago!!!
Like jumping from a monthly salary of three thousand to an annual million-level salary.
Ye Zhi simply felt her mind inadequate.
Her heart was dazed, cold, horrified.
No wonder, Xue Chi, in a fit of rage earlier, used the Prehistoric Emperor Crocodile’s aura—how could it not be terrifying?
Only because he left briefly, only to see Xue Hanyue injured.
He was undeniably obsessed with Xue Hanyue.
In his heart, Xue Hanyue belonged to him.
He could challenge Xue Hanyue, try her in Cold Abyss Palace, leaving her heavily injured.
But others, no.
Even Ye Zhi, no.
Seeing Xue Hanyue wounded, Ye Zhi was beside her—he naturally assumed Ye Zhi harmed her.
If not for considering Ye Zhi as Ye War Clan’s Little Princess and minimal injuries to Xue Hanyue, he would have directly killed Ye Zhi.
"Xue Chi?" Beside, Ying Jin dropped his jaw, nearly stuffing an egg.
This person—in front—was... was... was Xue Chi?
Xue Chi, he naturally recognized.
He knew those at the forefront of the Ascension List.
But the Xue Chi he knew, absolutely wasn’t this strong!
