Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 997: Chapter 997: Facial Disguise

Ye Qingchen faced the sinister moves of the three elders and despite being disadvantaged a bit, he quickly adjusted his state, the disdain in his eyes turned into cold sharpness.

Dealing with these old folks, he couldn’t hold back anymore.

Before they could fully execute their moves, Ye Qingchen suddenly flipped, dodging their attack, and retreated a few steps to increase the distance.

Immediately, he formed hand seals with both hands, and the Spiritual Power within him surged like a tide.

The next instant, his body began to emit a dazzling light, and a powerful aura exploded abruptly, causing the entire forest to seem to quake.

The three elders clearly felt the change in Ye Qingchen’s aura, their expressions instantly turned solemn.

Before they could react, Ye Qingchen’s attack had already swept over them.

With lightning speed, he rushed at one of the elders, the Spiritual Power in his hand converged into a sword flashing with a cold light.

The Sword Qi was aggressive, carrying the power to destroy the heavens and earth, directly stabbing towards the elder’s vital point.

The elder widened his eyes, unable to react in time, and could only hastily raise his palms in defense.

However, Ye Qingchen’s Sword Qi was like a giant blade tearing through the sky, instantly shattering his defense.

The sword pierced straight into his chest, the powerful force causing the elder to spurt blood from his mouth, falling to the ground dead.

The remaining two elders were greatly shocked, realizing they had underestimated Ye Qingchen’s strength.

As they were about to use Technique to counterattack, they found Ye Qingchen already in front of them.

His eyes glowed with a cold light, a sneer raised at the corner of his mouth, his hands quickly formed hand seals.

Then, a fierce Palm Wind suddenly struck out, seemingly tearing through the air, instantly chopping towards the second elder.

The elder tried to avoid it, but Ye Qingchen’s speed was simply too fast, the Palm Wind slammed into his shoulder like a giant hammer.

The elder didn’t even have time to grunt, his entire body was directly knocked flying, heavily colliding with the tree trunk, his life force quickly dissipating.

Seeing this, the third elder was scared stiff, quickly turned to flee.

However, how could Ye Qingchen give him a chance?

He let out a light shout, a powerful Spiritual Power Arrow quickly condensed in his hand, shooting out with a sharp sound.

The arrow pierced through the sky, instantly catching up with the fleeing elder, directly penetrating his back.

The elder let out a miserable cry, staggered a few steps, then fell to the ground, unable to move any longer.

Ye Qingchen shook off the residual Spiritual Power from his hand, his gaze coldly scanned around, confirming the three elders had no chance of survival.

After taking care of these three opponents, the aura on his body gradually calmed, the coldness in his eyes also slowly receded.

He glanced at Xiao Xiao not far away, nodded to her, indicating she needn’t worry.

Though Ye Qingchen had expended some energy, his figure still stood tall as ever, as if the battle just now was merely an episode.

He gently exhaled, then turned and walked towards Xiao Xiao.

”Xiao Xiao, the three of them have been dealt with,” Ye Qingchen said in a deep voice, a hint of calmness in his tone, ”but we are now in Jiang Ancient Clan’s territory, danger lurks everywhere. Jiang Qi certainly will not let this slide, he will inevitably send stronger experts to capture us.”

Xiao Xiao’s gaze slightly sank, looking at Ye Qingchen with some worry.

She tightly clenched her fist, feeling the coolness in her palm, as if reminding her that the severity of the situation far exceeded expectations.

She lightly nodded, her voice crisp and firm: ”Young master, you are right. Jiang Qi is a ruthless person, he would definitely not spare us, especially in his own territory. We must quickly find a way to escape.”

Ye Qingchen pondered for a moment, his gaze scanning the surroundings, his mind racing. His thoughts swept through like a swift wind, analyzing the current situation and possible escape routes.

Ye Qingchen took a deep breath, said in a deep voice: ”The situation is urgent now, to avoid being chased by Jiang Qi’s men, there’s only one way, that is — Disguise.” His gaze was deep, showing a hint of calmness and decisiveness, ”Only by disguising, can we ensure not being discovered.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao’s eyes flashed with confidence, she unwaveringly nodded, showing a slight smile: ”Young master, don’t worry about that, my specialty happens to be the Disguise Technique.”

Ye Qingchen smiled slightly, feeling somewhat comforted: ”Alright, then it’s up to you.”

Xiao Xiao raised her hands lightly, her palms gently rotating, instantly a light blue Spiritual Power overflowed from her fingertips, drifting in the air like a soft veil.

Her expression focused, eyes like torches, the Spiritual Power gathered in the air, seemingly weaving an invisible veil.

Xiao Xiao’s fingers were like playing a mysterious melody, the Spiritual Power dancing with her fingertips, gradually transforming into a thin Spirit Membrane, slowly covering Ye Qingchen’s face.

Ye Qingchen only felt a cool Spiritual Power flow over his face, like a breeze, then his originally handsome and resolute face began to gradually change.

The angular features between his brows softened, the sharpness in his eyes was masked, gradually becoming the ordinary face of a young man with no distinguishing features.

The originally black long hair also gradually became sparse, its color dimmed, he transformed from a spirited young hero into an inconspicuous middle-aged man from the countryside.

”Young master, how does this look?” Xiao Xiao withdrew her hands, looking at Ye Qingchen with some pride.

Ye Qingchen looked at the reflection in the water, seeing that unfamiliar face, he smiled slightly, nodded: ”Very good, like this, no one can recognize me.”

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao’s lips curled slightly upwards, then said: ”Now it’s my turn.”

Before her words fell, the Spiritual Power in Xiao Xiao’s hands surged again, she gently brushed her face, the Spiritual Power danced with her fingertips, as if painting a new mask on her face.

Her appearance quickly changed, from bright eyes and white teeth, innocent and lovely, into a plain woman a few years older, her complexion slightly dull, with slight wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, as if weathered.

Ye Qingchen watched her transformation, secretly marveling at Xiao Xiao’s superb Disguise Technique.

He carefully examined for a moment, confirmed there were no flaws, then nodded: ”Very good. Now, we are no longer Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao, but an ordinary Jianghu couple.”

Xiao Xiao laughed lightly, quite satisfied, adjusted her clothes slightly: ”In this way, Jiang Qi’s men won’t think of us appearing in such a guise.”

Ye Qingchen nodded, his eyes showing a trace of determination: ”We must leave this place quickly, take advantage of them not yet reacting, quickly find a safe place to hide, and wait for the opportunity.”

Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement, then the two turned and left, their figures gradually disappearing into the night.

In the grand hall of Jiang Ancient Clan, the atmosphere was quiet and solemn, as if even the air was solidified.
