Supreme Sword God

Chapter 495: Chapter 494: Scheming Minds, Time to Strike!

Lv Baishuang spoke as he held the Netherworld Blood Snake entwined around him in his hand, his eyes full of affection, saying, ”Last time, I planned to take the opportunity on the battlefield to devour a few heavily injured and dying Heaven-Reaching Realm fellows.

But unexpectedly, they became alert, and both the Netherworld Blood Snake and I suffered irreversible injuries due to their self-destruction.

The only way to recover is to find some people with abundant Qi Blood for the blood ritual.

This plan has been laid out for so long; I also wanted to wait a bit more to gather more geniuses from the Qingyun List.

But the aura of the Netherworld Blood Snake is becoming increasingly unstable. I owe my power today to the Netherworld Blood Snake. If anything happens to it, my path to becoming stronger will be cut off!

Besides, there’s another reason, which is the arrival of Ye Chen.

When he looked at me, I felt uneasy.

To avoid any long-lasting dreams at night, we must take action tonight.

As you know, Ye Chen isn’t simple at all. Maybe after the blood ritual includes him, even if the number isn’t enough, the Netherworld Blood Snake and I can return to our peak!”

”Godfather, I understand,” Lin Si said.

”Hmm, then everything will proceed according to the plan,” Lv Baishuang said.

......

Nightfall gradually descended.

Ye Chen, who was meditating and training indoors, slowly opened his eyes.

”Brother Ye, are you ready? We can set out now!”

Ye Chen’s lips curved into a cold smile. He then stood up, walked to the doorway, and opened the door.

Standing at the door, Lin Si said, ”Brother Ye, we’re acting in secret, so we can’t draw too much attention. Follow me.”

Ye Chen followed Lin Si, circling around the City Lord’s Mansion, leaving quietly afterwards.

The two arrived at a tall building in Frost City.

”Brother Ye, we’ll wait here. If Zhang Cuihua and the others make any moves, we’ll notice it immediately. To investigate the truth, Brother Ye, you mustn’t act impulsively. Stay calm!”

Ye Chen nodded.

Lin Si really put on quite a convincing act!

As the night deepened, the entire Frost City was engulfed in deathly silence, leaving only the chilling howl of the wind echoing.

Ye Chen calmly observed everything.

But Lin Si appeared somewhat nervous.

Until midnight.

Suddenly.

A loud rumbling sound shattered the stillness of Frost City!

Ye Chen looked in the direction the sound came from.

He saw figures flying in the air, with shouts rising and falling.

”Chase!”

”Don’t let that beast escape again!”

A group of people chased a dark shadow, instantly rushing out of Frost City.

”Brother Ye, let’s follow them!” Lin Si immediately said.

Ye Chen said nothing, cooperating with Lin Si, chasing out of Frost City together.

”Brother Lin, did you see it clearly just now?” Ye Chen asked.

”No, that monster was too fast.”

Ye Chen, however, saw it clearly; it was a black snake.

The aura from Lv Baishuang, Lin Si, and the previous corpse all came from that black snake.

Ye Chen decided not to waste words; it wasn’t time to act just yet. If he killed Lin Si now, it would alert the snake.

Unconsciously, Ye Chen and Lin Si had arrived at a mountain forest.

And in front of them, Zhang Cuihua and the others, who were chasing the black snake, were making a mighty display just moments ago, were now silent.

Ye Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

Did they all end up dead so quickly?

If that were the case, I must retreat quickly!

Ye Chen immediately stopped and unleashed his pupil power, making his vision clearer.

In the pitch-dark mountain forest, Ye Chen discovered a large array.

The array’s aura perfectly blended with the night of the forest.

Zhang Cuihua and their group were all lying inside the array, all still alive, but unable to move.

And at the center of the array.

There was a small altar-like stone platform.

Lv Baishuang sat atop the stone platform, with a snake that was entirely black but had strikingly crimson eyes, slithering over his body!

”Brother Ye, there’s an array ahead!”

Lin Si also stopped, turned to Ye Chen, and from his forehead, six Spirit Imprint projections floated and merged as one, saying, ”Brother Ye, I’m a Tier Six Spirit Master, and I have some insight into arrays. Let’s venture inside together and the truth shall be unveiled!”

Ye Chen stared at Lin Si, his mind spinning rapidly.

Lin Si assumed I knew nothing and kept acting.

But I had already seen through the array’s scene with perfect clarity.

”Lin Si reveals the Spirit Master’s power, clearly intending to lure me inside the array. Other than that, he’s probably planning to strike. If I refuse, he’ll attack me immediately!

Lin Si, this trash, is of no consequence.

Though inside, Lv Baishuang and that black snake... but they’re probably restricted too. The eerie array seems to be absorbing Zhang Cuihua and the others’ Qi Blood, which then pours into Lv Baishuang’s body, a process that seems difficult to interrupt.”

With that in mind.

Let’s cut down Lin Si and then talk!

Ye Chen looked at Lin Si, saying, ”Brother Lin, I’ll leave it to you then.”

”Brother Ye, my Martial Dao skills aren’t great. Just in case, I’d need you to protect me by my side,” Lin Si said.

He wanted Ye Chen to come closer, to facilitate acting.

Ye Chen looked at Lin Si with eyes full of trust, nodding.

Not good at Martial Dao?

Who are you kidding?

Ye Chen’s Martial Arts Celestial Eye saw everything clearly!

If we must act, let’s continue the act with him.

”Rest assured, Brother Lin, with me here, your safety is guaranteed!”

With a swish, Ye Chen drew his Celestial Mark Sword and approached Lin Si.

When the distance between them closed to less than the length of a sword, Ye Chen’s sword suddenly exploded with an incredibly sharp edge, slashing toward Lin Si.

Almost at the moment Ye Chen acted, Lin Si’s Spirit Imprint projection also shot out a terrifying beam of light, aimed at Ye Chen!

Their intentions were almost identical!

”Boom!”

Lin Si’s Spirit Imprint beam was split into two halves by Ye Chen’s sword, exploding!

A violent surge burst forth.

Lin Si’s Spirit Imprint projection turned into white armor wrapped around him, and his Martial Dao power erupted accordingly, abruptly charging at Ye Chen, swinging a punch.

The force of the punch was like an avalanche or tsunami!

But before Lin Si’s punch could reach Ye Chen, Ye Chen’s spiritual power sledgehammer already struck Lin Si heavily!

”Boom!”

The white armor formed by Lin Si’s Spirit Imprint instantly exploded!

Just a common Spirit Imprint, although a Tier Six Earth Seal Spirit Master, getting smashed by Ye Chen’s spiritual power hammer is unbearable!

”Ah!”

Lin Si’s armor, a transformation of his Spirit Imprint projection, shattered, and his spiritual sea suffered intense backlash, causing blood to flow from his seven orifices!

Ye Chen’s sword had already been brought down.

The brilliant sword light illuminated the dark mountain forest brightly!

Under the sword light, Lin Si’s face appeared extremely pale.

He couldn’t comprehend... how Ye Chen could be so strong... nor why Ye Chen would be the first to strike...
