Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 275: Chapter 275: Mysterious Woman Takes Action

Facing the formidable Martial King Realm, Ye Qingchen showed no fear. He knew he had to stand up and block Black Dragon in this situation; otherwise, the result would be a total defeat.

Black Dragon wasted no words, directly launching an attack at Ye Qingchen and perfectly exhibiting the immense power of the Martial King Realm.

Ye Qingchen dared not be careless. He immediately unleashed the Earth Rank Martial Technique, Leaf Blade Storm, sending streaks of cold light slashing toward Black Dragon.

However, Ye Qingchen had still underestimated Black Dragon’s power. His once-invincible Leaf Blade Storm barely hindered Black Dragon’s advance before it was shattered by a single punch.

Ye Qingchen fought while retreating, activating the innate skill of his Willow Wood Martial Soul—a binding technique. Dozens of bucket-thick vines instantly sprang up from under Black Dragon’s feet, trapping him.

Ye Qingchen knew his innate skill could not hold Black Dragon for long, so as the vines rose, he unleashed his Fen Tian Earth Fire and Ancient Jade Spiritual Fire, spraying them onto the vines.

Wood fuels fire. With the vines as a medium, the flames Ye Qingchen released were even more astonishing. In terms of sheer destructive power, they had already surpassed the Leaf Blade Storm.

Nevertheless, Ye Qingchen still felt it was not enough. After unleashing the Fen Tian Earth Fire and the Ancient Jade Spiritual Fire, he also drew his Qingfeng Sword and unleashed Sword Dusting the Wind, slashing toward Black Dragon.

This barrage of attacks used almost all of Ye Qingchen’s strength. Caught off guard, Black Dragon could only defend with all his might against the relentless assault. Even so, most of his clothes were scorched away.

But that was the extent of it. Ye Qingchen’s all-out attack had not even managed to injure Black Dragon.

Ye Qingchen’s expression turned solemn. I was only able to fight Furious Tiger to a standstill because he didn’t use any martial techniques. If he had unleashed his full strength, the outcome would have been uncertain.

Yet Furious Tiger was only at the Ninth Layer of the Martial Spirit Realm. The man before him now, Black Dragon, was an entire major realm higher—a Martial King! His proudest attacks gained him no advantage against Black Dragon.

Black Dragon was now thoroughly infuriated. A mighty Martial King Realm expert like himself was being made to look like a fool by some little brat from the Martial Spirit Realm. If word of this got out, his lifetime of fame would be ruined in an instant.

In a furious rage, Black Dragon went all out, unleashing his Mysterious Rank Martial Arts, Dragon Soars Tiger Roars. His entire being seemed to transform into a rampaging tiger, bearing down on Ye Qingchen with a terrifying force that made one’s heart tremble.

Ye Qingchen knew he could not withstand it and could only rely on his Dual Pupil Martial Soul to find a flaw in Black Dragon’s attack, narrowly avoiding the strike.

But Black Dragon only grew more furious. After his first blow missed, he launched an unrelenting series of attacks, pouncing on Ye Qingchen.

Black Dragon did not want to waste any more time on Ye Qingchen, especially with the royal family of the Yanyang Kingdom present. If they saw a mighty Martial King expert like himself struggling so much against a mere Martial Spirit Realm kid, Dragon Tiger Mountain would have trouble holding its head high before the royals in the future.

Facing Black Dragon’s unending attacks, Ye Qingchen was growing overwhelmed. He could only rely on his Dual Pupil Martial Soul and Mystifying Steps to continuously retreat and dodge the onslaught.

Even so, some attacks were impossible to evade, and he had no choice but to endure them head-on.

Black Dragon’s attacks were immensely powerful. Even when Ye Qingchen blocked with all his might, the impacts still sent his blood churning violently within him.

Ye Qingchen grew increasingly anxious. If this continues, I’ll be defeated by Black Dragon sooner or later. At that point, forget rescuing Qin Yue and my father—all the experts from the Rising Sun Pavilion will probably die here with me.

With this thought, Ye Qingchen continued dodging Black Dragon’s attacks while desperately calling out to the mysterious woman in his mind, ”Elder Sister, you have to help me!”

The mysterious woman’s lazy voice drifted into his mind.

”You little rascal, biting off more than you can chew by challenging a Martial King. Now that you know you’re no match for him, you want your big sister to clean up your mess? No way! Besides, the last time I helped you, I expended a lot of Soul Power. Even if I were to act now, I couldn’t unleash much of my strength.”

Ye Qingchen knew that as his own strength grew, the mysterious woman hidden inside him must also be reaping great benefits. He was certain that if she made a move, she could easily defeat Black Dragon. Her current refusal must have something to do with the last time he had asked her to intervene.

Understanding the crux of the matter, he quickly pleaded again, ”Elder Sister, you can see this guy is trying to kill me! If you don’t help, I’m really going to die! If I die, you’ll have a hard time finding someone as obedient as me to serve you so devotedly!”

The mysterious woman chuckled.

”Kid, are you trying to threaten me with the same trick as last time? Let me tell you, I’m not falling for it again!”

Ye Qingchen was helpless. Black Dragon’s attacks grew even more ferocious, leaving him no choice but to dodge with everything he had.

As the fight dragged on, Black Dragon grew more and more shocked. A few days ago, when Ye Qingchen left Dragon Tiger Mountain, he was nothing but an ant-like Great Martial Master. Yet now, he could actually hold his own for this long. At this rate of progress, if Ye Qingchen were given time to grow, he would inevitably surpass him.

Seeing his elder brother, Black Dragon, still unable to defeat Ye Qingchen, a worried Furious Tiger shouted, ”Big Brother, be careful! That kid has a way of borrowing external strength! Last time, he used it to defeat Third Brother, who was at the Eighth Layer of the Martial Spirit Realm, even though he was just a Great Martial Master!”

Black Dragon nodded and said coldly to Ye Qingchen, ”Kid, once I kill you, I’ll flay you alive and see exactly what kind of power you’ve been borrowing!”

Ye Qingchen frowned. So they already know I can borrow her power. Fei Hu even set up a Formation here to stop me. I wonder if the Formation vanished after he died...

Black Dragon’s words displeased the mysterious woman. If Ye Qingchen is really flayed alive, I’ll lose my host and definitely won’t be a match for Black Dragon. My own life will be in danger! Realizing this, she transmitted her voice to Ye Qingchen.

”Kid, give me control of your body. Your big sister is going to show this guy just how wild I can be!”

Ye Qingchen frowned and replied, ”Elder Sister, but they’ve already set up a Formation here, specifically to prevent...”

”Hmph,” the mysterious woman scoffed. ”You think a mere Formation can stop me?”

Hearing this, Ye Qingchen nodded. At this point, he could only trust in her power.

Ye Qingchen’s Spiritual Sense withdrew, allowing the mysterious woman to take control of his body. At the same time, the aura around him began to expand violently.

Black Dragon naturally noticed the change in Ye Qingchen, and his pupils contracted instantly.

He realized that in that moment, the Ye Qingchen before him seemed to have become a completely different person. Not only was his aura overwhelming, but his gaze was also incredibly sharp.

A single glance was enough to send a shiver of dread down his spine.
