Chapter 680: Chapter 680: Three Hundred Sixty-Seven Half-Step Human Immortals!

Boom!

As soon as Ye Qingchen spoke, the surroundings first fell silent, and then suddenly erupted in an uproar.

"What? Abolish us? And then demolish the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"Just based on you, a kid who only knows how to cheat?"

"Presumptuous!"

Looking at the young man in green in the center, the crowd instantly boiled over.

Note.

Today, present here are nearly seventy percent of the Inner Sect Disciples, including more than a hundred Half-Step Human Immortals. Ye Qingchen’s words displayed complete disregard for them!

"Why bother talking with him?" Qin Hao shouted angrily, "This kid dares to look down on us inner disciples, so let’s beat him until he submits! Ye Qingchen, I let you escape in the Martial Arts Arena before, now let me show you my prowess!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Hao stepped forward, revealing the Half-Step Human Immortal cultivation without restraint.

Boom!

A violent gust swept through, knocking numerous disciples off their feet.

Qin Hao stomped again, and a clear sword hum erupted as the crowd saw a flash of cold light with Qin Hao’s sword drawn.

With a twist of the sword in his hand, he moved with it, unleashing an dazzling sword light that transformed into a torrential downpour of swords. Instantly, within a hundred-zhang radius, sword shadows filled the air above and below.

Such a stance left no room to evade, no place to hide!

Compared to before in the Martial Arts Arena, how much more fierce was it?

"What a terrifying sword!"

The many inner sect disciples turned pale.

This sword, ordinary disciples couldn’t possibly withstand; only Half-Step Human Immortals could contend with it.

"No wonder he’s among the top ten inner disciples, this sword’s power is more than enough. Even facing a Human Immortal head-on wouldn’t matter!" Zhang Nanxuan watched with a cold smile, indifferent.

"Let this arrogant kid know our strength!"

The surrounding inner sect disciples also wore cold smiles.

Especially Qin Hao.

He seemed.

Already seeing Ye Qingchen’s embarrassed figure scrambling away under Qin Hao’s sword!

A disciple standing outside the Martial Arts Arena sneered, "Ye Qingchen is incredibly bold, not daring to enter the arena before, where does he get the courage to be so arrogant in the inner sect?"

However.

Before he finished speaking, he was completely stunned.

Under the incredulous gaze of the crowd.

Ye Qingchen stood there motionless, and as the sword light enveloped him, he simply raised his palm.

The palm appeared casual, effortlessly light, devoid of any force. Yet upon striking, the sword shadows vanished like snow under the blazing sun, dissipating in an instant.

Then.

The palm lightly landed on Qin Hao’s chest.

Thud!

A muffled sound.

Qin Hao spurted a mist of blood.

Then, at a speed faster than when he arrived, he was flung through the crowd, smashing wall after wall. Finally, with a thunderous crash and billowing dust, he was buried beneath the ruins, utterly silent.

Silence!

The previously bustling Inner Sect suddenly fell into dead silence.

Every eye widened in disbelief.

With just one palm, he sent Qin Hao flying?

"Inner Sect disciple? Half-Step Human Immortal?"

Ye Qingchen leisurely retracted his hand, his expression calm. As though what he had sent flying earlier was not a Half-Step Human Immortal, but merely a fly. He also swept his gaze around at the crowd, and said blandly:

"Only this much!"

The previously sneering disciple nearly bit his tongue.

He always believed Ye Qingchen not daring to enter the arena was because he feared Qin Hao. Yet the result was, in their eyes, the invincible Qin Hao couldn’t withstand Ye Qingchen’s palm!

Zhang Nanxuan abruptly opened his eyes wide, his gaze piercing, and couldn’t help but think secretly: "This kid is only Celestial Venerable Eighth Layer, how is his strength so formidable?"

"Courageous!" Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but shout angrily, "Dare to humiliate our inner disciples, then let me experience your great skills!"

At this moment.

He was already striding forward, wanting to avenge Qin Hao.

However, Ye Qingchen stood there, seemingly amused, looked at Zhou Yuan and said: "Qin Hao couldn’t withstand my palm, and you, a nobody, dare to make a move against me?"

"Courting death!"

Zhou Yuan’s face turned livid upon hearing this.

He solemnly challenged Ye Qingchen, yet was called a nobody, utterly disregarded!

Roar!

A howl burst forth.

Zhou Yuan suddenly stomped, even more violent than Qin Hao before. Torrential True Qi surged like a roaring river, directly sweeping from his body.

This immense True Qi even formed a hundred-zhang long Jiao Dragon, coiling around him, enveloping Zhou Yuan entirely!

Boom!

Then, as True Qi released, the violent Jiao Dragon swung its massive tail, sweeping out fiercely.

Tsss!

A horrific tearing sound resounded, Zhou Yuan along with the Jiao Dragon raced across the ground. The mighty True Qi crushed the earth, leaving a deep trench.

Countless fragments of rock and soil exploded, shooting out like Flying Locust Crossbow Arrows.

This terrifying trench extended tens of zhanges, nearly across the entire plaza, right to Ye Qingchen. The Jiao Dragon bared its fierce fangs, snarling and thrashing, its massive bloody mouth now Zhou Yuan’s spearhead!

"Zhou Yuan is furious!"

"This is his Heaven-shocking Fury Dragon! Also his most formidable move!"

"This Jiao Dragon is entirely formed of True Qi. Although it consumes massive True Qi, its power is enormously greater than ordinary moves!"

"Let’s see how Ye Qingchen will fend them off this time?"

"Ye Qingchen has made his move!"

"What’s he doing? Does he intend to block Zhou Yuan’s attack with just one finger?"

Amidst the incredulous murmurs of the crowd.

They witnessed.

Ye Qingchen slowly extending a finger, lightly tapping forward, directly landing on the tip of Zhou Yuan’s spear.

One finger breaks ten thousand techniques!

Boom!

At that moment.

It felt as if time stopped, and deep in the eyes of countless people, the advancing draconic figure trembled violently, suddenly exploding inch by inch, turning into scattered light particles disappearing into the void.

Zhou Yuan, fully exposed, was as if struck by lightning, spewing a mouthful of blood.

Like a kite with a broken string, he streaked across the sky, crashing heavily to the ground, fainting on the spot!

"No match at all!"

Ye Qingchen said calmly.

Those watching were shocked to their core, eyes wide and mouths agape.

Ye Qingchen, with one palm and one finger, defeated two Half-Step Human Immortals in an instant. Judging by his casual demeanor, he hadn’t even given his full effort!

Hiss hiss hiss hiss!

The crowd collectively gasped.

"Wasn’t it said that Ye Qingchen only won the election by cheating? How is his strength so terrifying?" Someone shouted madly, "He’s only at Celestial Venerable Eighth Layer, yet even Half-Step Human Immortals can’t withstand one of his moves?"

Several stewards from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were even more shocked, their hearts in turmoil. Zhang Nanxuan’s face was exceedingly grim, almost enough to drip water!

Under the stunned gaze of the crowd.

They saw Ye Qingchen slowly retract his right hand, looking towards Zhang Nanxuan with a half-smile:

"These weaklings are no match at all! You should come personally!"

Whoosh!

At that moment.

Everyone, collectively turned towards Zhang Nanxuan.

Only to see Zhang Nanxuan’s eyes fill with murderous intent, suddenly laughing loudly, eyes full of mockery:

"Ye Qingchen, do you really think it’s over?"

"Hmm?" Ye Qingchen frowned slightly.

"Look around!" Zhang Nanxuan replied with a half-smile.

Ye Qingchen looked around, only to see that the Inner Sect Disciples who previously had only reached Celestial Venerable Sixth or Seventh Layer had unknowingly retreated completely, being replaced by disciples stepping forward!

These disciples, without exception, exuded overwhelming presence similar to Zhou Yuan and Qin Hao, clearly all of them at Half-Step Human Immortal!

"One, two, three..."

"Twenty, thirty, forty..."

"One hundred, two hundred, three hundred..."

Initially, Sea of Zhou seemed relaxed, but with every person stepping forward, his expression turned more serious. Until the last person stepped out, his eyes were filled with deep worry and apprehension!

"Three hundred and seventy-six Half-Step Human Immortals!"

Even Lu Yanwu’s face darkened.

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Nanxuan laughed maniacally!

His eyes could not hide his pride.

This is the foundation of the Inner Sect! A collection of Half-Step Human Immortals accumulated over many years! Some had just recently reached Half-Step Human Immortal like Li Yichao. Others, like Lin Tongfeng, had been stuck at Half-Step Human Immortal for several years, even more than ten!

At this moment, Zhang Nanxuan stood with arms crossed, looking down on Ye Qingchen, his gaze like a Divine Dragon from the heavens overlooking an ant, filled with contempt and mockery:

"Ye Qingchen, you said earlier you want to abolish the Inner Sect? Here are three hundred and sixty-seven Half-Step Human Immortals, do you dare repeat what you just said?"

Boom!

With these words.

Countless eyes turned towards Ye Qingchen.

"Haha, Ye Qingchen is doomed!" Someone sneered, "Three hundred and sixty-seven Half-Step Human Immortals, although not all of the Inner Sect’s strength, represent seventy to eighty percent... Even a Human Immortal would find no grave to be buried in!"

"Indeed! This brat was incredibly arrogant before, soon he’ll have to swallow every word he’s said!" Someone clenched their fist, face full of cold smile.

Even Lu Yanwu subtly tugged Ye Qingchen’s clothes, hoping he could endure for a moment, considering he was facing the entire Inner Sect of Taotian Palace!

Lin Shifei couldn’t help but swallow hard, facing such a formation, he didn’t even have the courage to stand straight, his legs trembled uncontrollably.

And Zhang Nanxuan stood proudly, continuously sneering at Ye Qingchen:

"Abolish the Inner Sect, tear down the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Don’t you have any shame, consider your own capabilities! Just one word from me can ensure you have no place to rest in death! What can you do now?"

Under the eyes of mockery, contempt, disdain, and scorn.

Everyone assumed Ye Qingchen would choose to bow.

But then.

Ye Qingchen suddenly lifted his head, sneering:

"I dare say this in your presence! Dare say it in front of all the Inner Sect disciples! If today you don’t give me an explanation, I’ll level your Inner Sect, and tear down the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

"Brat, you’re courting death!" Zhang Nanxuan’s eyes flashed coldly, directly shouting: "Kill him for me!"

Boom!

With those words spoken.

In an instant, three hundred sixty-seven Half-Step Human Immortals surged forth, charging at Ye Qingchen! Such an imposing stance was boundless and extreme! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Three hundred sixty-seven Half-Step Human Immortals? Bring it on!"

Ye Qingchen laughed loudly, eyes blazing with light, his clothes fluttering, his presence soaring to the heavens.

Today he will face a hundred alone!

To challenge the entire Inner Sect of Taotian Palace!
