Invincible Soul Emperor-Chapter 356 Qin Yue and Liang Fei Fall into Desperation
"How noisy!"
Ye Qingchen sneered, wielding the Clear Wind Sword. He simultaneously channeled his Soul Power, unleashing the innate binding skill of his Willow Wood Martial Soul. His hands did not slow in the slightest as the Leaf Blade Storm was unleashed at the same time.
In an instant, a sky-blotting torrent of willow branches appeared, blocking the path of the attackers. Although it did not completely immobilize them, their speed was significantly reduced.
By this time, the Leaf Blade Storm had reached them. The terrifying blades were like a world-ending tornado, rampaging back and forth before them. The men wanted to dodge, but the willow branches seemed to seep through every opening, sealing off their escape routes. They could only watch helplessly as the Leaf Blades engulfed them.
From the start of the attack to the end of the battle, less than a minute had passed. Several High-Stage Martial Spirit Realm experts were all slain by the Leaf Blade Storm. Ye Qingchen walked over to their corpses and began to gather the spoils of war. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Liu Qinghan’s mouth hung agape, too astonished to utter a word. He knew Ye Qingchen was strong; frightening off the giant python with his mere presence was proof enough. But he had never expected him to be this powerful!
To kill five High-Stage Martial Spirit Realm experts in a single move... that’s a feat not even an expert at the peak of the Martial Spirit Realm could accomplish, right? Moreover, the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy during that attack proved Ye Qingchen is only at the Sixth Layer of the Martial Spirit Realm. How could he possibly unleash such astonishing combat power?
The girl in red was even more astounded. The very people who had driven her into a corner seemed so feeble before this young man. And I sense a familiar aura from him... The thought only deepened her confusion.
After Ye Qingchen finished cleaning up the battlefield, he walked over to the girl in red and asked, "You mentioned Liang Fei was in trouble? What exactly is going on?"
At that moment, the girl in red finally remembered. This young man was the one who had traveled with the Thunder Valley group. However, on their way here, everyone had been busy rushing and hadn’t really interacted. On top of that, she had been panicked by the chase, which is why she hadn’t recognized Ye Qingchen at first.
Now that she remembered, the girl in red bowed hastily and said, "Ah, it’s Mister Chen. I am an Inner Sect Disciple of Thunder Valley. The ones pursuing me are from a sect allied with the Huanyue Sect. Our Young Sect Master and Miss Qin Yue are besieged by members of the Huanyue Sect at the Black Swamp Marsh. I fear they’re in grave danger."
Upon hearing that Qin Yue and Liang Fei were together and under siege by the Huanyue Sect, Ye Qingchen demanded anxiously, "Where is the Black Swamp Marsh? Quickly, lead the way."
The girl in red, knowing the urgency of the matter, nodded at Ye Qingchen and ran towards the Black Swamp Marsh. Ye Qingchen followed closely behind. Liu Qinghan hesitated for a moment and then followed suit.
「...」
"Thunder Valley claims to be a three-star sect, yet its Young Sect Master is so weak he can’t even defeat my subordinates," Huan Xinghe said coldly, disdainfully watching Liang Fei struggle against his men.
Liang Fei naturally recognized Huan Xinghe. After all, their mothers had been sworn sisters, and the two had grown up playing together. However, ever since it was discovered that Huan Xinghe possessed an eight-star Star Moon Martial Soul, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, leaving Liang Fei far behind. After that, Huan Xinghe had always looked down on Liang Fei. With his nonchalant nature, Liang Fei hadn’t really cared, at least not until he discovered his own mother had been cursed with a Gu poison by Lin Lanxin. From that moment on, he lost all fondness for Huan Xinghe’s family, his feelings replaced with outright hostility.
After entering the Chaotic Secret Realm, Liang Fei and Qin Yue were unexpectedly teleported to the same location. During their treasure hunt, they encountered the girl in red, and the three of them teamed up to search for treasures while also looking for Ye Qingchen. But unexpectedly, they ran into Huan Xinghe and his group. Huan Xinghe had long known that Chen Qingye had entered the Chaotic Secret Realm with Thunder Valley, so naturally, he would not let Liang Fei’s group off the hook.
Liang Fei and Qin Yue knew they were no match for Huan Xinghe. They fought to hold back his men, allowing the girl in red to escape and seek help from the other Thunder Valley disciples.
Huan Xinghe knew the girl was going for reinforcements, but he didn’t try too hard to stop her. He was confident in his own strength, certain that no matter how many people she brought back, they would be no match for him. Besides, if it brought Chen Qingye to him, he could simply wait for his prey to walk into the trap, saving him the trouble of searching.
Liang Fei was only at the Eighth Layer of the Martial Spirit Realm. Although Qin Yue’s strength had reached the Fourth Layer of the Martial Spirit Realm through arduous training, she was still no match for Huan Xinghe’s subordinates. Huan Xinghe couldn’t be bothered to fight personally, so he ordered a few of his men to capture Liang Fei and Qin Yue alive. All four of Huan Xinghe’s subordinates were at the Eighth Layer of the Martial Spirit Realm.
Thus, even though Liang Fei was the Young Sect Master of Thunder Valley with numerous Spiritual Artifacts and superior Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques, he could only hold off two Eighth Layer experts. He knew Qin Yue would be in mortal danger against two opponents of that level, so he took on three himself to ease her burden.
Even so, facing an Eighth Layer expert, Qin Yue could only barely hold her ground by relying on her Martial Soul’s unique properties.
Hearing Huan Xinghe’s mockery, Liang Fei retorted with a sneer, "Huan Xinghe, your Huanyue Sect is as despicable as ever, ganging up on us when you have the numbers. What kind of hero are you? If you have the guts, fight me one-on-one!"
Liang Fei knew he was no match for Huan Xinghe, but he wouldn’t lose a verbal spar.
Faced with Liang Fei’s taunt, Huan Xinghe laughed coldly and waved a hand at a martial artist behind him. "It seems they still have some fight left. You go. End this quickly."
The martial artist nodded and, in a flash, joined the fray. This man was at the Ninth Layer of the Martial Spirit Realm. Liang Fei was already struggling against three Eighth Layer experts, leaving him hard-pressed from all sides. The Ninth Layer expert seized the opportunity, slamming a palm into Liang Fei’s back. Liang Fei’s two hundred-pound body was sent flying like a kite with a snapped string.
After dealing with Liang Fei, the Ninth Layer expert didn’t stop, turning his attack toward Qin Yue. The power of a Ninth Layer Martial Spirit Realm expert was immense; even without using a Martial Technique, he could unleash an unimaginably terrifying might. Qin Yue was already at a disadvantage. With the Ninth Layer expert joining the battle, she didn’t even have time to use a Secret Technique to boost her power before she was severely beaten, causing her to cough up blood and lose her combat ability.
Huan Xinghe walked up to the two of them triumphantly. "Liang Fei," he said, "with such pathetic strength, you still dare to challenge me?"
Liang Fei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and struggled to get up, but his injuries were too severe. It was impossible.
"Kill me or torture me, do as you please. Your Grandpa Liang isn’t afraid!"
