Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Mighty Martial King Realm Expert

Fei Hu stared at Ye Qingchen in astonishment, never having imagined he could possess such formidable combat strength. Even if I took action myself, I probably couldn’t have dealt with those Dragon Tiger Mountain disciples so cleanly and efficiently.

Ye Changqing’s mouth hung open in shock. His son was actually this impressive! Although he had repeatedly tried to gauge his son’s strength, he had never imagined that those lofty Martial Spirit Realm experts would be no match for his son, unable to even withstand a single move.

Fei Hu glared at Ye Qingchen and sneered, ”Kid, I didn’t expect you to have some skill. But this is Dragon Tiger Mountain, and you are destined to die here today!”

With that, Fei Hu lunged at Ye Qingchen. Pushing his father behind him, Ye Qingchen charged forward to meet the attack.

Fei Hu was an expert at the Eighth Layer of the Martial Spirit Realm. Although the mysterious woman was severely injured and had yet to recover, Ye Qingchen was now in a life-or-death crisis. She had no choice but to erupt with all the power she could currently muster to fight on his behalf!

In the past, upon encountering an Eighth Layer Martial Spirit Realm expert, the mysterious woman would have chosen to remain silent. She would never have expended her own essence to stand up for Ye Qingchen.

Fei Hu was shocked to find that despite his own strength, he was at a slight disadvantage when facing Ye Qingchen. Ye Qingchen, however, only fought with increasing courage. After seizing the initial advantage, he pressed his attack, relentlessly hammering Fei Hu. After dozens of exchanges, Fei Hu was completely overwhelmed until, in a moment of carelessness, he was struck square in the chest by Ye Qingchen’s palm and sent flying backward.

”Quick, let’s go!” Ye Qingchen said urgently to the mysterious woman after defeating Fei Hu.

After all, Fei Hu was only the third-in-command. On Dragon Tiger Mountain’s home turf, a more powerful expert could arrive at any moment.

The mysterious woman knew they couldn’t linger. She grabbed the nearby Ye Changqing and started running for the exit.

”Do you think Dragon Tiger Mountain is a place you can just come and go as you please?”

Just as Ye Qingchen and Ye Changqing reached the doorway, a dark shadow blocked their path.

Without another word, the shadow sent a palm strike at them. In his panic, Ye Qingchen managed to counter with a palm of his own, but the force of the blow still sent him staggering backward.

The newcomer was none other than the second-in-command of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Kuang Hu. He had come to investigate after hearing the commotion in the main hall.

He was surprised to find that the one daring to cause trouble on Dragon Tiger Mountain was just a young brat at the Grand Martial Master Realm. What shocked him even more was that his third brother, an expert at the Eighth Layer of the Martial Spirit Realm, was no match for this youngster.

”Second Brother, stop them!” Fei Hu shouted anxiously upon seeing him arrive. ”That guy is a mine slave from deep within our mountain’s mines! He knows many of Dragon Tiger Mountain’s secrets! We absolutely cannot let him escape!”

Kuang Hu nodded and said, ”Rest assured, Third Brother. With me here, they won’t get away.”

The mysterious woman’s voice sounded in Ye Qingchen’s mind, ”Ye Qingchen, this man is at the peak of the Ninth Layer of the Martial Spirit Realm. I am no match for him!”

Ye Qingchen understood she had already done her best, but their predicament was far from over. His mind raced, desperately searching for a solution.

”Ye Qingchen, I’m here to help you!”

Just as Ye Qingchen was at his wit’s end, a soft voice rang out as Qin Yue arrived with Elder Wang.

It turned out that when Qin Yue had first come to Dragon Tiger Mountain with Ye Qingchen, a worried Qin Zhantian had arranged for Elder Wang to secretly follow and protect her. This time, when Ye Qingchen ascended the mountain again with Cai Yunji, Qin Yue grew concerned that he might do something rash out of worry for his father’s safety. She had therefore hastily contacted Elder Wang and brought him along, just in case anything happened to Ye Qingchen.

”Elder Wang, please save Ye Qingchen!” Qin Yue pleaded.

Elder Wang nodded. His figure blurred into an afterimage as he shot forward, striking at Kuang Hu with his palm.

Ye Qingchen felt a flicker of relief seeing Elder Wang make his move. Elder Wang was also a peak Ninth Layer Martial Spirit Realm expert, putting him on equal footing with Kuang Hu. The two were evenly matched, and their battle quickly reached a stalemate.

Seeing that Kuang Hu was occupied, Ye Qingchen moved to intercept the approaching Fei Hu. ”Miss Qin,” he said to Qin Yue, ”take my father and leave first. We’ll find a way to get out on our own!”

Qin Yue nodded, knowing that if Ye Changqing remained, he would only be a burden and prevent Ye Qingchen from fighting freely. Besides, with Elder Wang here, even if he couldn’t defeat Kuang Hu, it wouldn’t be difficult to get Ye Qingchen away safely.

With that thought, she took Ye Changqing’s arm. ”Uncle, let’s go first.”

Ye Changqing looked worriedly at his son. ”But what about Qingchen?”

”Don’t worry, Uncle,” Qin Yue said, pulling him along. ”With Elder Wang here, Ye Qingchen will be fine. We need to leave so they have a better chance to escape.”

Ye Changqing understood that in a battle of this level, his presence would only hold his son back. He had no choice but to follow Qin Yue and flee.

”If I just let you run off, wouldn’t Dragon Tiger Mountain become a laughingstock?”

With a burst of wild laughter, a burly, swarthy man blocked Qin Yue and Ye Changqing’s path.

This was the top leader of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Black Dragon—an expert at the First Layer of the Martial King Realm!

Black Dragon ignored Qin Yue and Ye Changqing. He flashed in front of Elder Wang and sent him flying with a single palm strike.

Then, Black Dragon repeated the move on Ye Qingchen, blasting him away with another palm. At that moment, the mysterious woman’s power was completely exhausted and fell dormant within Ye Qingchen’s body. His aura reverted to the Grand Martial Master Realm. The sudden surge and subsequent depletion of power left him feeling as if every bone in his body was about to shatter.

Black Dragon wasn’t worried that his actions would give Qin Yue and Ye Changqing a chance to flee. With the speed of a Martial King Realm expert, catching up to them would be laughably easy.

Seeing that even Elder Wang was no match for the newcomer, Qin Yue instantly guessed that this man must be the leader of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Black Dragon.

At the same time, a resolute look filled Qin Yue’s eyes as her aura began to climb rapidly. She possessed a very special Martial Soul that could temporarily boost her strength, but this enhancement came at a great cost.

Yet for Ye Qingchen’s sake, she cast all concerns aside. There was only one thought in her mind now: save Ye Qingchen and his father, no matter the price! Even if it meant sacrificing her life, she wouldn’t hesitate!
