Chapter 615: Kill Him
Fortunately, Ye Qingchen was protected by the Admiring Willow Protection and the Mingyuan Refining Heart Array. Otherwise, those two water waves would have been enough to severely injure him.
However, Ye Qingchen wasn’t in much better shape now. The two attacks had instantly depleted a third of the life force in his Willow Wood Martial Soul.
Seeing dozens of water waves still to come, Ye Qingchen’s brow furrowed tighter. He knew that with the Mingyuan Refining Heart Array alone, he couldn’t withstand the impact of many more waves. Moreover, the eruption of the last two waves had made the surrounding Water Attribute Energy even denser, suppressing his speed once again.
As Xiao Xiao watched the earth-shattering battle and marveled at the strength of Ye Qingchen and Wang Ziping, she couldn’t help but worry. Anxious, she activated her Ten-star Vermilion Bird Holy Soul once more. The surrounding Fire Attribute Energy instantly doubled, and her attacks became even more ferocious.
But at this moment, Zhang Guangling also unleashed his full power. Although Xiao Xiao’s attacks put considerable pressure on him, the gap in their Realms was still insurmountable. Zhang Guangling tenaciously entangled her, giving her no chance to help Ye Qingchen.
In that brief moment, Ye Qingchen was hit by three more water waves. The blood he coughed up stained his clothes red, yet he continued to dodge desperately.
I have to hold on until Senior Sister Li Nian’er gets here. Otherwise, not only will I perish, but Xiao Xiao will also be in danger. Ye Qingchen knew that she was on the third level of the Demon Clan battlefield and would need some time to arrive.
At this thought, the Double Pupil Sword in Ye Qingchen’s hand constantly changed colors. He first attacked with Wood Attribute Energy, then used Fire Attribute Energy to ignite it. This caused his attack power to surge once more, and each strike against the water waves drained most of their energy. The remaining energy still struck him, but with the protection of the Mingyuan Refining Heart Array, he was just barely able to withstand it.
In this way, Ye Qingchen managed to withstand another five or six water waves.
This greatly surprised Wang Ziping. He hadn’t expected Ye Qingchen to last so long under such circumstances. But more than surprise, Wang Ziping felt an intense jealousy toward Ye Qingchen’s Dual Attribute Energy.
It’s a principle of the Five Elements: wood feeds fire. With the boost from his Wood Attribute, his Fire Attribute has undergone a qualitative change, to the point where it’s actually suppressing my Water Attribute Energy. I’m at the Eighth Layer of the Martial Emperor Realm! And according to the principles of Five Elements Mutual Restraint, water should suppress fire, but now *I’m* the one being suppressed by him!
The envy in Wang Ziping’s heart was palpable. He even began to think that if he could master two types of Water Attribute Energy, his strength would surely ascend to the next level. But such things can’t be forced.
Now that Ye Qingchen seemed to have found a way to combat the water waves, Wang Ziping would certainly show no mercy. His hands formed another Seal Formula, and his face turned pale. Clearly, this method of attack was extremely taxing, even for someone of his strength.
But it will all be worth it. Killing a genius like Ye Qingchen will satisfy my vanity and complete the mission from the Saint Heir.
Under his control, the water barrier continued to compress, shrinking the surrounding space to less than five hundred meters. This made it difficult for Ye Qingchen to use his Fire Spirit Charm Shadow to deal with only one water wave at a time.
In an instant, two or three water waves caught up with him. Although he kept using his Wind Blade Sword Technique to slash at them, it was futile. The three water waves struck him almost simultaneously, causing him to stagger and nearly collapse.
But Wang Ziping gave him no time to rest. Seizing the moment Ye Qingchen faltered, five more water waves attacked at once.
Ye Qingchen’s stance was already unstable, making it impossible to dodge. Severely injured, he was powerless to block the attacks. He could only watch helplessly as the water waves rushed toward him.
Finally, Ye Qingchen gritted his teeth and unleashed the Mingyuan Refining Heart Array from his body. He sent it hurtling toward the five water waves and detonated it, thereby managing to avoid being struck.
Although he had stopped the attack, the Mingyuan Refining Heart Array was formed from the convergence of energy channels within his body. Detonating the formation was equivalent to severing his own meridians. The resulting agony was unimaginable, and Ye Qingchen’s internal injuries grew even more severe.
The worst part was that now, without the protection of the Admiring Willow Protection and the Mingyuan Refining Heart Array, his defensive power was reduced by seventy to eighty percent. Facing the thirty-odd water waves that remained, Ye Qingchen no longer had any way to fight back.
Wang Ziping had thought his last strike would be enough to claim Ye Qingchen’s life, but unexpectedly, Ye Qingchen had withstood it yet again.
Greatly shocked, Wang Ziping once again activated his Seal Formula and continued to shrink the water barrier. He didn’t know how many more tricks Ye Qingchen had up his sleeve. But I do know that an hour has passed since he called for reinforcements. If his backup is on the second level of the Demon Clan battlefield, they should be arriving soon. I have to kill him before they arrive. Otherwise, if anything unexpected happens, I’m not confident I can complete the Saint Heir’s mission.
Therefore, Wang Ziping didn’t hesitate to burn a strand of his Essence Blood, compressing the water barrier to a mere hundred meters. With this, he was confident he could bombard Ye Qingchen with all the remaining water waves at once.
There are still over thirty water waves in the barrier. If they all hit at once, even a peak Martial Emperor Realm expert probably couldn’t withstand it. Ye Qingchen will certainly die!
Ye Qingchen saw through Wang Ziping’s intentions, but he was powerless, able to do nothing but watch as Wang Ziping manipulated the water barrier. A moment later, the water barrier finished compressing. Under Wang Ziping’s control, the remaining thirty-odd water waves surged toward Ye Qingchen all at once.
Xiao Xiao saw this, her eyes turning red with anxiety. But with Zhang Guangling blocking her, she was powerless to help.
BOOM!
A deafening roar echoed as a world-shaking explosion of energy erupted from Ye Qingchen’s position, vaporizing everything within a thousand-meter radius in an instant.
Wang Ziping finally breathed a sigh of relief. He took out a Spirit Pill and began to recover the energy he had just expended.
At the same time, he marveled inwardly. To think that I, an Eighth-Layer Martial Emperor Realm cultivator, had to go all out and still took this long to kill him. This Ye Qingchen is truly terrifying! That’s why he had to be killed this time, no matter the cost.
