Chapter 1262: Too Anxious
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Jiawei’s heart was in turmoil!
He stared at the weapons in Ye Chen’s hand and muttered to himself, “As for that sword, it feels like it might be a Divine King-grade weapon… Could it really be?”
“Moreover, it doesn’t seem like a low-grade Divine King-grade weapon either…”
“A middle-grade Divine King-grade weapon?!”
At the thought of this, Li Jiawei’s back was covered in cold sweat, and he looked at Ye Chen with fear.
A kid who was a first-level Supreme Emperor realm cultivator and less than thirty years old had a ninth-grade immortal artifact and a middle-grade Divine King-grade artifact?
...Could this kid be a disciple of the Blood Sword sect, the Beigong family, or some other major force?
After all, there was no way Mu Chen had anything that valuable. Back then, the most valuable thing Mu Chen had was the eighth-grade immortal artifact armor Li Jiawei was wearing now. Furthermore, Mu Chen had basically been crippled after that, so obtaining a Divine King-grade artifact like that sword would be simply impossible!
Thus, the only logical explanation was that Ye Chen had a powerful background, as was likely the descendant or disciple of a Divine King realm expert!
If he killed Ye Chen, would that expert come looking for revenge?
What should he do in this situation?
Kneel and kowtow?
Li Jiawei immediately continued to unleash his poison attacks. However, he did not go all out. Instead, he asked, “Ye Chen, which sect are you from?”
“Shameless scoundrel, you don’t need to know where I come from!”
Ye Chen used his two weapons to fend off Li Jiawei’s attacks and slowly advanced. After some back and forth, he even pierced Li Jiawei’s chest with his sword. The power of Nirvana surged out frantically, consuming Li Jiawei’s lifespan and absorbing his Great Dao at the same time.
Li Jiawei’s Dao was extremely poisonous, so Ye Chen did not absorb the power of the former’s Dao entirely, choosing only to take parts of it to strengthen his Slaughter Dao. However, if he was not careful, the poison would contaminate his Slaughter Dao, which would make the fight far more dangerous.
After all, the act of absorbing the Daos and lifespans of others was a dangerous and drastic choice, and came with its own risks and limitations.
“You b*stard!” Li Jiawei shouted. His eighth-grade immortal artifact armor shimmered with power briefly, but was quickly suppressed by the Soul Destroying Demon God Spear.
As they fought, they were evenly matched, and the shockwaves shook the surroundings and killed many of the Kun Sword Sect’s disciples.
Gradually, Li Jiawei’s skin began to wither, and even his gold body began to show signs of weakening. He no longer looked like a young man, but an old man in his seventies. His head was full of white hair, and wrinkles could be seen on his cheeks. In just ten seconds, he had aged by more than ten thousand years!
“Get lost!”
Li Jiawei twisted his body frantically to break free from the power of Nirvana exerted by the God-Slaying Sword, after which he sent Ye Chen flying with a punch.
He shook his head and refocused himself on the battle after realizing that he had actually lost 20,000 years’ worth of lifespan. Adding the previous 10,000 years he had lost, and the fact that he had lived for 8,000 years, he only had 12,000 years left to live!
Damn it!
He originally wanted to hold back in fear of the expert behind Ye Chen taking revenge, but if this went on, he would end up dead before he even had to worry about that expert’s revenge.
Since this b*stard had forced his hand, he would show no mercy!
“Boundless poison!”
“Skybreaker Sword!”
Li Jiawei shouted angrily as he gripped his sword with both hands. The Poison Dao behind him erupted with an endless stream of venom and gathered around his sword.
He then swung his sword, sending countless strands of poisonous sword qi hurtling toward Ye Chen!
Although Ye Chen used his demonic energy to block the attacks, he was still sent flying repeatedly.
Puchi!
“Damn it… As expected, the experts of Spirit City are not weak!”
Ye Chen rolled on the ground and struggled to get up. His body was covered with festering wounds, and the poison was also corroding his body. If this continued, he would follow in Mu Chen’s footsteps!
He barely managed to lift the God-Slaying Sword, but was promptly sent flying again.
This was the true strength of a late-stage Semi Divine realm expert?
At this moment, Ye Chen actually seemed powerless to resist Li Jiawei!
“What a pity!” Qing Ruxue sighed and shook her head. In her opinion, Ye Chen was doomed!
After being poisoned by Li Jiawei, his body would be corroded and he would continually become weaker and weaker. Once three minutes was up, even an early-stage Divine King realm expert would be immobilized and unable to fight.
“I thought he could kill that shameless scoundrel Li Jiawei, but it seems that the gap between them is too large.” The Wild Blade Sect’s sect master sighed. He gestured toward the other two sect masters and gestured. “Don’t help. Even if we all attack, we can’t withstand Li Jiawei’s poison. If we’re poisoned, we’re done for!”
The other two sect leaders sighed in resignation, and held themselves back from helping Ye Chen. They hated Li Jiawei, but they would not risk their lives for an uncertain chance at killing him.
“If the expert behind Ye Chen is willing to help, then the situation will change. If not, then that young man is as good as dead.”
The sect masters felt pity for Ye Chen. After all, Ye Chen was a peerless genius. It was already very brave of him to challenge Li Jiawei given the gap in their cultivation levels, and it was admirable that he managed to withstand more than a hundred moves from Li Jiawei, while also exhausting 30,000 years of Li Jiawei’s lifespan.
Ye Chen’s status as the number one genius in the Kunlun Mountains was unquestionable!
However, he had been too reckless. In their opinion, he should have waited until he had reached the fifth level of the Supreme Emperor realm before challenging Li Jiawei, or even the seventh or eighth level.
His recklessness was what brought about his downfall…
What a pity!
At this moment, Wang Gantian muttered coldly, “This despicable person… How dare he touch my disciple? He’s courting death!”
“Ye Chen, listen up!”
“I’ll give you a strand of my power, which will temporarily elevate your combat strength to that of a Divine King realm expert.”
“However, it will only last ten minutes!”
“Thank you, Master!” As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, he felt a power surge into his body. His golden body became more brilliant as it broke through and advanced to the seventh level of the Overlord Body realm. At the same time, his blood essence and energy multiplied, and his strength surpassed the ninth-level of the Semi Divine realm.
His boundless fighting spirit and aura spread out, causing the entirety of Spirit City to tremble.
