Chapter 1282: Chapter 1281: [That Useless Guy Is Infuriating]

Ye Tianchen wanted to use the ”Transcendental Sutra” from the Yijin Jing to dissolve the wine power that Huo Xianer, with her Heavenly Fire Body, could drink and refine. Yet, this put him in a life-and-death situation. The horror didn’t manifest with blood all over but through signs of impending death from the inside out. Now, Ye Tianchen seemed to be left with just a fading Divine Thought Illusion, any moment ready to dissipate. Once it truly dissipates, Ye Tianchen will face complete destruction of his soul and body!

Huo Xianer was also anxious. Her original intention was merely to teach Ye Tianchen a lesson. This guy, posing as a chubby Taoist, had deceived the four of them miserably and even attracted the Black Tiger Beast King to hunt them down. After discovering Ye Tianchen’s true identity, Huo Xianer came to find him alone: one, to settle scores with this guy; two, to consider cooperation given Ye Tianchen’s high cultivation and unique methods of doing things, possibly gaining more benefits in the ”Original Restricted Zone.” But she hadn’t expected that jokingly trying to scare Ye Tianchen would lead to something beyond her control. This was not what Huo Xianer truly intended; she had no heart to kill Ye Tianchen.

Actually, Little Zhu Yan had already warned Ye Tianchen that what was in Huo Xianer’s wine gourd was not ”wine” but a kind of ”Fire Magma,” resembling wine. This substance was prepared specially for those cultivating Fire Taoist power. Aside from Huo Xianer’s unique Heavenly Fire Body capable of drinking and refining it, it’s feared that there would hardly be a second person in this world who could. Ye Tianchen insisted on daring a try, and now, it truly seemed doomed to fail!

No one expected that Qing Zi, whom Ye Tianchen hadn’t killed but merely broke several major bones to strip him of fighting capacity, would use the Sword Sect’s Martial Arts Secret Skill to heal his wounded body within a few hours and intent to assassinate Ye Tianchen. This stunned Little Zhu Yan and Huo Xianer. With Ye Tianchen in such a state, isn’t he waiting for death? Not to mention a skilled young Qing Zi, even a regular martial artist could likely kill Ye Tianchen. Truly, misfortune does not come singly; danger is here!

”If you want to kill him, I’m afraid you’ll have to get past me first!” Little Zhu Yan stood in front of Ye Tianchen, no longer looking like a laggard, and coldly said to Qing Zi.

”You... just a little Zhu Yan, yet to grow, all is vanity!” Qing Zi spoke, then swung a sword at Little Zhu Yan.

Swoosh!

Zoom!

Little Zhu Yan’s speed was swift. After dodging Qing Zi’s sword, he turned into a beam of light, reaching Qing Zi’s front in an instant, and smashed a monkey fist towards Qing Zi’s face. Unfortunately, he lacked speed and the physical body was not as sturdy as Ye Tianchen’s, getting blocked by Qing Zi and flung away by a sword light.

”Hmph, with that bit of strength, you still want to block the sword for this lousy Taoist? That’s seeking death!” Qing Zi disdainfully said to Little Zhu Yan.

”Damn it, you little brat, if it weren’t for the issue in my cultivation, I’d smack you to death with one slap!” Little Zhu Yan was exasperated. Indeed, his cultivation went awry, leaving hidden injuries in his body, preventing swift growth and achievement of his clan’s Great Divine Power. He endured much humiliation, having to circumvent powerful Demon Beasts and Ancient Species. Otherwise, with the Zhu Yan clan’s dominance and might, he’d have eliminated countless formidable creatures with impunity, and wouldn’t have suffered such disgrace!

Boom!

Huo Xianer took action. There’s no need to say much; Qing Zi definitely intended to assassinate Ye Tianchen. The only solution was to defeat or even kill him. A blaze struck towards Qing Zi, who was slightly stunned, swiftly slashing out a sword light.

Clang!

Two Martial Arts True Powers collided, sparking a firelight dispersal, surprising Little Zhu Yan nearby. Apparently, Qing Zi felt pent-up after being defeated instantly by Ye Tianchen. Originally a cultivation genius in the Sword Sect and a strong figure of the younger generation, he was only defeated due to carelessness, coupled with Ye Tianchen’s utilization of the fastest ”Divine Movement Skill” combined with an exploding Physical Body Power, catching Qing Zi unprepared and beating him decisively. Indeed, Qing Zi’s cultivation realm is high, and his combat power is strong!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Huo Xianer and Qing Zi started a fierce battle. Huo Xianer was strong, and Qing Zi was no pushover either. Huo Xianer couldn’t beat Qing Zi suddenly like Ye Tianchen did, so the two engaged in an intense fight. Fortunately, not many martial artists paid attention, because there were too many martial arts experts gathered here. Especially those with profound cultivation and strong backgrounds from powerful heritages who would occasionally cause trouble, defeating or killing some martial artists. It was considered a ”clearing” activity before the Immortal Light Array was activated!

Little Zhu Yan frowned as it watched Huo Xianer battle Qing Zi, feeling somewhat troubled. Ye Tianchen sat cross-legged and unmoving, appearing to be on the brink of life and death. At this rate, even if Huo Xianer stopped Qing Zi, it feared Ye Tianchen would still meet a grim fate. What could be done? Thinking of this, Little Zhu Yan felt quite anxious. No matter their brotherhood and shared meals and drinks with Ye Tianchen, or its hope for his help to obtain that rare artifact to heal its hidden illness, it didn’t wish for Ye Tianchen to die.

Rumble!

With a muffled boom, both Huo Xianer and Qing Zi were forced apart, glaring fiercely at each other. Qing Zi sneered, ”Huo Xianer, as the Holy Daughter of the Fire God Sacred Land, what is your relationship with that smelly Taoist? Could it be you fancy him and want to marry?”

”Peh, shameless scoundrel, I merely rendered you powerless, not killing you, which is already a kindness. Now you’re repaying kindness with enmity!” Huo Xianer angrily replied.

”Repaying kindness with enmity? Hahaha, he didn’t kill me because he’s foolish, he deserves to be killed by me!” Qing Zi laughed disdainfully.

”Someone like you deserves to die!” A whip appeared in Huo Xianer’s hand, entirely fiery red, as if she wielded a fire dragon.

”Too bad you can’t kill me!” Qing Zi mocked with a cold smile.

Huo Xianer charged at Qing Zi. Indeed, Qing Zi’s cultivation realm wasn’t low, and her combat strength wasn’t weak. They were evenly matched, making it nearly impossible to kill each other instantly. However, Huo Xianer only wanted to buy time for Ye Tianchen. Regardless, she felt partly responsible for Ye Tianchen’s current state, and even if he was destined to die, she wanted to do something to not feel too guilty.

At this moment, Little Zhu Yan stood before Ye Tianchen, frowning at his faintly visible figure. It took out a Star Grass from its bosom. This rascal had quietly stolen it back from Ye Tianchen, who knew it was originally the rascal’s possession, so he didn’t mind. Now, Little Zhu Yan took out the Star Grass, looked at Ye Tianchen, then at the Star Grass, and reluctantly said, ”Kid, don’t say I’m not loyal. This Star Grass is a remnant of an Immortal Elixir that can extend life, though few recognize its value. My Zhu Yan clan has Eyes of Golden Flame, and any treasure shown to them reveals its origin power. You’re on death’s door, and I’m not stingy. I’ll pluck a leaf and see if it can save your life. At least we were sworn brothers, don’t call me stingy anymore!”

As Little Zhu Yan spoke, it plucked the smallest leaf from the four on the Star Grass, tossing it reluctantly to Ye Tianchen. No wonder the rascal risked its life to snatch this Star Grass from the Black Tiger Beast King’s lair and repeatedly asked Ye Tianchen for it, never revealing its true value. It turned out to be a remnant of an Immortal Elixir, with even a slight capacity to extend life. Whether it enhanced cultivation or extended longevity depended on its usage and refinement!

When Little Zhu Yan stood before Ye Tianchen and threw the smallest leaf of the Star Grass over, the leaf immediately melded into Ye Tianchen’s body without causing a ripple, making Little Zhu Yan shake its head. It tucked the Star Grass back into its bosom, saying, ”Brother, I’ve done my best. Farewell, and I’ll dig a grave for you!”

Bang!

Unexpectedly, a domineering Martial Arts True Qi sent Huo Xianer flying, crashing into the rascal Zhu Yan, which was tucking the Star Grass away and hadn’t finished, also getting knocked away. The Star Grass landed right on Ye Tianchen’s body... (To be continued. If you like this work, please support me on Qidian (qidian.com) by voting for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets.
