Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 510: Chapter 510: Ancestor Fire Charm has Arrived

It was at this moment that Xiao Xiao, feeling she had mostly recovered, joined the battle. She was not at her peak, but seeing Ye Qingchen already showing signs of exhaustion, she could no longer worry about her own condition.

With Xiao Xiao joining the fight, the pressure on Ye Qingchen eased drastically.

However, their previous exertion had been too great, and the situation remained grim. In the distance, human experts were being slain by the Demon Clan. The humans’ disadvantage was becoming more and more obvious.

Because this Sect’s newcomer competition had attracted a vast audience, a large number of spectators had not yet managed to evacuate when the fighting suddenly broke out. Humans were continually slaughtered by Lesser Demons, creating a terribly tragic scene.

Although Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao were holding off three Lesser Demons, the dwindling number of human warriors meant that other Lesser Demons were now free to join the slaughter of the spectators.

”Young Master, more and more Lesser Demons are appearing! What should we do?” Xiao Xiao asked anxiously, seeing that the situation was far from optimistic.

Ye Qingchen’s brow furrowed. ”We’ll fight as we retreat!”

The current situation was already beyond what he, a mere third-level Martial King, could control. Their only option was to retreat.

Although neither Ye Qingchen nor Xiao Xiao was an ordinary Martial King, they were facing three Lesser Demons whose strength was comparable to the Martial Emperor Realm.

After battling for an hour, the Energy within both Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao was almost completely depleted.

Yet those Lesser Demons seemed tireless, maintaining their peak condition.

What particularly infuriated the three Lesser Demons was that the many others who had come with them to the human territories had already slaughtered countless people. Yet the three of them had been held up for so long by these two human ants.

Now, sensing that the two human ants before them were at the end of their rope, the three Lesser Demons exchanged a look and launched an even fiercer assault, determined to prevent their escape.

Xiao Xiao was the first to fall, sent flying by a Lesser Demon’s punch. Moments later, Ye Qingchen was also knocked away by a combined attack from all three.

Lying on the ground, they tried to get up and continue fighting, but their bodies were already past their breaking point. Even mustering their last ounce of strength, they could not move an inch.

Cruel grins spread across the faces of the three Lesser Demons as they brandished their sharp claws and pounced.

”Young Master...” Xiao Xiao looked at Ye Qingchen beside her, struggling to speak. The effort aggravated her injuries, and she coughed up mouthfuls of blood.

Ye Qingchen gave a bitter smile. ”Don’t be scared, Xiao Xiao,” he said, shaking his head. ”I’m here...”

Even though Xiao Xiao knew that Ye Qingchen had also reached his limit, his words of comfort still sent a warm current through her heart.

To be able to die with the Young Master... I should be satisfied.

Xiao Xiao thought to herself, a faint, blissful smile gracing her lips.

How could I have failed? I couldn’t save Xiao Xiao, even at the cost of my own life. And now, Qin Yue is in the hands of that mysterious Saint Heir, her fate unknown...

BOOM!

Just as the three Lesser Demons closed in, a beam of Energy shot toward them. The once-arrogant demons exploded instantly, turning to dust.

”Huh?”

Before Ye Qingchen could understand what had happened, a figure appeared before him.

The newcomer was a woman in a red dress. Her graceful, curvaceous figure was so enticing that her silhouette alone could set one’s imagination racing. Amidst this mountain of corpses and sea of blood, her stunning figure was like a blooming blood lotus, possessing both a wild allure and a sacred purity.

”You?” Ye Qingchen stared in surprise. Even though he only saw her back, he recognized her instantly.

”Little brother, we meet again,” a teasing voice said as the woman in red turned around. ”Your strength has improved so much, yet it seems you still get bullied by others.”

It was the mysterious woman Ye Qingchen had met on the top floor of the Heart Demon Tower. Back then, due to an injury, she had hidden within his body and continuously absorbed his Soul Power to recover. She had even intervened multiple times later on to save him.

However, when they were at Dragon Tiger Mountain, Ye Qingchen had entered a Spiritual Qi Whirlpool to save Qin Yue and his father, where he had come to comprehend the Wind Blade Sword Technique. The mysterious woman had said the whirlpool was better suited for her own cultivation and decided to stay there.

He had not expected her to appear at this moment. He still did not know her name or identity, which was why he was so stunned to see her now.

What Ye Qingchen did not know was that this mysterious woman was the Wuji Immortal Palace’s Great-Aunt Mentor, Huomei.

This time, Huomei was leading the Wuji Immortal Palace disciples at the Sect’s newcomer competition. Given her status, she naturally would not appear openly, instead choosing to watch over them in secret. She had been visiting an old acquaintance in Eternal City today and was not present when the incident occurred. Sensing the emergence of the Devil’s Cave, Huomei had rushed over at once.

Upon arriving, the first thing she saw was Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao fighting three Lesser Demons by themselves. The combat prowess they displayed was far beyond their cultivation level, which startled even Huomei. This was why she had not immediately intervened. Only when the Lesser Demons finally overwhelmed the pair did Huomei make her move, slaying all three.

The sound of their conversation made Xiao Xiao, who had closed her eyes in despair, open them again. She was slightly taken aback by Huomei’s arrival. Seeing the woman’s sultry figure and enticing features, she could not help but feel inferior.

”Thank you for saving our lives, Senior,” Xiao Xiao said politely, but a hint of worry flickered deep within her beautiful eyes as she looked at Huomei.

From their conversation, Xiao Xiao could tell their relationship was unusual, and a sense of crisis welled up inside her.

Huomei keenly observed the wariness in Xiao Xiao’s eyes and could not help but shake her head with a smile. ”You must be Xiao Xiao. According to seniority, you should call me Great-Aunt Mentor. But now is not the time for reunions. First, I’ll take care of these demons.”

With that, Huomei said no more to them. She soared into the sky, flying toward the other demons.

At that moment, another Lesser Demon, whose strength was on par with the Wuji Immortal Palace’s Saint Heir, was locked in a brutal battle. It was single-handedly fighting eight human experts of the Martial Emperor Realm, some of whom were even high-level, yet the demon still held a clear advantage.

The demon’s expression, however, remained calm, as if it was not even using its full strength. The human experts, on the other hand, were barely holding on.
