Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Instant Kill Fei Hu

Fei Hu’s utterly shameless attitude finally incensed Qin Zhantian.

With a laugh that belied his fury, Qin Zhantian said to Fei Hu, ”Very well. You’re still too green to play dirty with me. Do you really think the two of you can stop me?”

After he spoke, Qin Zhantian immediately made his move, unleashing the full oppressive force of a Second Layer Martial King Realm cultivator.

He pushed forward with both hands, attacking Fei Hu and Kuang Hu simultaneously. The two combined their strength to resist, but they were still sent flying by his palm strike.

Ye Qingchen naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity. Using his Mystifying Steps, he rushed toward Qin Yue and Ye Changqing, hoping to take advantage of the situation to rescue them.

But just as he was about to reach them, a giant mechanical cage dropped from the sky, instantly trapping Qin Yue, Ye Changqing, and two Dragon Tiger Mountain disciples inside. The two disciples drew their long blades and held them to the throats of Qin Yue and Ye Changqing.

Fearing for his family’s safety, Ye Qingchen didn’t dare to act recklessly. Qin Zhantian also ceased his attack, his brow furrowed in a deep frown.

Ye Qingchen demanded of Fei Hu and Kuang Hu, ”I’ve already given you the Spirit Stones. What more do you want?”

Fei Hu let out a series of cold sneers. ”If you want to save them, you’ll have to fight me first!”

With his eyes blazing with rage, Ye Qingchen replied, ”Fine. If you want a fight, you’ve got one!”

Fei Hu burst into scornful laughter. ”Boy, don’t think I don’t know that you only injured me last time because you were relying on external power. I won’t let you get away with that again. I’ve already set up a Lock Dragon Formation in this hall, which is specifically designed to suppress the use of external forces! This time, I will have my revenge! And I will do it in front of your father, making him watch as his own son is killed!”

Fei Hu smiled cruelly. Since Ye Qingchen had accepted his challenge, his death today was a certainty. Without external help, Ye Qingchen would be nothing more than an ant for him to crush at his leisure.

Ye Qingchen met Fei Hu’s gaze with a cold smile of his own and activated his Dual Pupil Martial Soul, readying himself for battle.

Seeing Ye Qingchen’s silence, Fei Hu assumed he was paralyzed by fear. Without another word, he threw a punch straight at Ye Qingchen’s chest, believing this single blow would be enough to cripple him.

But I won’t kill him just yet. I’ll keep him alive and torture him slowly. This is the price for crossing me!

Fei Hu was incredibly fast. With the strength of the Eighth Layer of the Martial Spirit Realm, even without unleashing his full power, he would have easily overwhelmed the old Ye Qingchen.

But things were different now. Ye Qingchen had already reached the peak of the Second Layer of the Martial Spirit Realm and was on the verge of breaking through to the Third Layer.

Especially after activating his Dual Pupil Martial Soul, Fei Hu’s attack seemed riddled with openings.

Ye Qingchen knew Fei Hu was being careless, and he had no intention of letting the opportunity slip by. He immediately unleashed his Leaf Blade Storm, aiming it directly at Fei Hu.

Powered by the Martial Spirit Realm, the Leaf Blade Storm was astonishingly potent. An overwhelming tide of Leaf Blades filled the sky, instantly converging into a single point to strike at Fei Hu. Unlike his previous, wide-ranging attacks, Ye Qingchen could now control the blades with enough precision to focus on a single target. This greatly increased their Penetrating Power and overall force.

Even Qin Zhantian was visibly stirred by Ye Qingchen’s Leaf Blade Storm.

I was the one who taught him this technique, but the way he’s using it now is completely different. The power of this Leaf Blade Storm has clearly surpassed the limits of a Mysterious Rank Martial Arts. Could it be? Has the technique evolved in his hands? But how is that possible? Qin Zhantian thought, finding it hard to believe. He decided to put the thought aside. Qingchen getting stronger is a good thing. Everyone has their secrets.

Fei Hu was enveloped by the Leaf Blades. Ye Qingchen directed the fierce assault at Fei Hu’s chest. Although Fei Hu used every defensive trick he knew, the blades seemed endless.

Finally, he could no longer hold them back. A single blade slashed him, and then the defense crumbled completely as countless more pierced straight through his body.

SPURT!

Blood splattered as a gruesome, gaping hole was torn through Fei Hu’s chest. His pale face was a mask of shock and regret as he glared at Ye Qingchen. Then, his head lolled to one side, and he breathed his last.

From Fei Hu’s attack to Ye Qingchen’s counter with Leaf Blade Storm and Fei Hu’s subsequent death, only a few breaths had passed. While Fei Hu’s carelessness was a factor, it was also a testament to Ye Qingchen’s terrifying combat prowess.

Kuang Hu had been standing aside, waiting to enjoy the show. Fei Hu’s talent for torture was something even their boss had to respect, and in Kuang Hu’s eyes, Ye Qingchen was already a toy for his brother to break. He was so convinced of this outcome that he failed to react at all before Fei Hu was killed, let alone attempt a rescue.

It wasn’t until Fei Hu’s body hit the floor with a thud that Kuang Hu snapped back to reality. He flew into a rage and lunged at Ye Qingchen, determined to avenge his third brother.

Kuang Hu was an expert at the Ninth Layer of the Martial Spirit Realm, even stronger than Fei Hu. Now, attacking in a blind rage, he unleashed his full power. His fist was incredibly fast, its trajectory devious. Kuang Hu’s sole aim was to kill Ye Qingchen in a single, fatal blow. After all, with Qin Zhantian here, if I can’t finish this in one strike, killing him will become much more difficult.

Seeing Kuang Hu’s charge, Ye Qingchen did not dodge or evade. He drew the Qingfeng Sword and met the attack head-on with Sword Dusting the Wind.

BOOM!

A massive explosion erupted as Kuang Hu’s fist shattered the sword technique. The powerful blast forced Ye Qingchen back a step, but Kuang Hu didn’t escape unscathed. Though he had destroyed the attack, he too was rocked by the impact, his blood and qi surging, forcing him back a step as well. In that one clash, they were evenly matched.

Kuang Hu couldn’t believe it. I’m an expert at the Ninth Layer of the Martial Spirit Realm! How could my full-power attack not only fail to injure him but result in a draw? This kid is unnatural!

But Kuang Hu was naturally stubborn and refused to accept it. His first attack having failed, he charged at Ye Qingchen once more.

This time, however, Qin Zhantian flashed in front of Ye Qingchen. Facing Kuang Hu’s ferocious attack, he responded with a seemingly light and casual palm strike.

Yet this effortless-looking strike made Kuang Hu’s expression change drastically. He scrambled to retract his attack and shift to a full-power defense, but he was still sent flying by the palm.

”Did you think I was just a decoration?” Qin Zhantian sneered, looking at the downed Kuang Hu with disdain.

Kuang Hu understood. Qin Zhantian was a Martial King Realm expert. Even at the Ninth Layer of the Martial Spirit Realm, he stood absolutely no chance. He was completely outmatched.

”What an impressive display of power, Qin Zhantian!”

With a loud shout, a middle-aged man with dark skin and a lean physique appeared in the hall.

”Boss!” Kuang Hu cried out, his face lighting up with joy upon seeing the newcomer.

This man was none other than the head of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Black Dragon.
