Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Chapter 925 - 924: Brought It Upon Themselves

Clang!

A clear, ringing sword cry resounded through the void in that instant.

Originally.

That vast tidal wave of blazing flames, like the waters of the Nine Heavens Milky Way, came pouring down with unstoppable ferocity, surging and sweeping, blotting out the sky and covering the earth. It seemed it would drown everything, burning all existence into ash!

In the depths of countless people's eyes.

At this moment, time seemed to stop.

They saw.

Ye Qingchen's sword sweep horizontally at the waist, as if a casual stroke, his posture light and indifferent, like the final struggle of a decaying old man.

Yet the result was that the terrifying raging tide, which carried the might of heaven and earth and an astonishing momentum, was suddenly reversed beneath this sword. Like a great wave turning its tide, it actually surged back with even greater speed than before, sweeping straight toward the Red Flame Flood Dragon!

"Roar!"

Seeing this scene.

The Red Flame Flood Dragon let out an angry roar, no longer carrying the earlier look of a cat toying with a mouse. Its massive body spun sharply with sudden speed, its huge tail lashing out in a sweeping arc, only then shattering the surging tide that had reversed upon it.

However, before the Red Flame Flood Dragon could even breathe a sigh of relief, they saw from the exploding wave of flame a cold sword light already cleaving forth, scattering countless sparks as it swept toward it!

"Not good!"

The Red Flame Flood Dragon's pupils shrank. Its body twisted as it tried to flee.

But unfortunately.

It was already too late!

This sword had already surpassed its imagination!

"Ssshhh!"

They saw that sword light first strike the protective demon energy enveloping its body. That Demon Energy Shield, condensed from the purest wrathful flame, was shredded in an instant like white paper!

The next moment.

Under countless shocked gazes.

The Red Flame Flood Dragon, which had been preparing to flee, shuddered violently. Its serpent eyes, filled with terror and shock, suddenly lost all color. They saw a massive line of blood appear on its body, then slowly spread…

In the end.

The Red Flame Flood Dragon was like a great tree being felled; its body split apart and crashed heavily to the ground.

Silence!

Everyone stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Ye Qingchen!

This Red Flame Flood Dragon, whose cultivation had reached the Earth Immortal Fourth Layer, and which had swept over everyone with overwhelming force, actually died this simply, and was slain with a single sword strike by Ye Qingchen!

"How…how is this possible?"

Han Yue Ran gaped, so stunned his jaw was almost hanging open.

Wasn't he just some brat from the Lower Realm?

How could he possess such terrifying strength?

"This…this…"

The other several young women were also dumbfounded. They had never imagined that this young man they looked down on would so effortlessly sever the Red Flame Flood Dragon with one sword!

Only Ye Qing's eyes were full of wild joy, full of vindication! She felt that in this moment, all the frustration of the past two years since coming to the Kunlun Realm had vanished into smoke!

Worthy of being her elder brother!

In everyone else's eyes.

This Red Flame Flood Dragon was practically an invincible existence.

But to Ye Qingchen—who feared not even veteran Earth Immortals—it was nothing more than a simple four-legged snake, something he could kill with a casual, effortless strike.

"Clang!"

With the ringing clash of metal and stone.

The long sword was already back in its scabbard.

"Big brother, you're incredible!"

Ye Qing's heart surged with excitement.

She had thought Ye Qingchen would have a fierce, titanic battle with the Red Flame Flood Dragon, yet who could have guessed Ye Qingchen would behead it with a single sword.

At this time.

Only now did everyone present come back to their senses. They exchanged looks with one another; they had thought their lives were already forfeit to the Yellow Springs, yet in the end they were saved by Ye Qingchen. After a brief hesitation, they still steeled themselves, came before Ye Qingchen, and stiffly cupped their fists in salute:

"Many thanks, Senior, for saving our lives!"

Ye Qingchen waved his hand.

He was now at the Earth Immortal Second Layer, his strength no less than that of a veteran Earth Immortal, fully qualified to accept their bow.

Only Han Yue Ran's face grew darker and darker.

One must know.

She had never taken Ye Qing seriously, and the same went for Ye Qingchen. Yet she had never imagined that Ye Qingchen would possess such terrifying strength.

And she herself had been kept in the dark all along.

"Why didn't you make a move earlier? Were you trying to watch me make a fool of myself?" Han Yue Ran stepped forward two paces, staring straight at Ye Qingchen, her eyes brimming with rage. "Are you satisfied now?"

"What did you say?"

Ye Qing's willow brows arched sharply.

She was being far too self-absorbed! Did she think the whole world had to revolve around her?

"Senior Sister Han…"

The others also looked embarrassed and hastily tugged at Han Yue Ran.

Ye Qingchen's expression was cold as he quietly regarded Han Yue Ran:

"And you think you're worthy?"

At his words, Han Yue Ran's face froze; she had never imagined Ye Qingchen would respond like this.

She had wanted to keep pressing the issue, but seeing the fear written all over the others' faces, she took several deep breaths, finally suppressing the anger in her heart. She stepped forward and said:

"In that case, I won't quibble with you! Step aside, I'm going up the mountain!"

The Red Flame Flood Dragon was already dead.

With no more obstacles on this trip, Han Yue Ran naturally thought of the treasure within Flame Ridge Mountain.

"And why should I move?" She never expected that Ye Qingchen would stand there motionless and calmly say, "I killed the Red Flame Flood Dragon. The things in the mountain are naturally mine."

"You dare!"

Han Yue Ran's face flushed red. She felt a surge of fury rush to her head, and she wished she could tear Ye Qingchen to pieces.

One must know.

She had always held herself in high regard and never put others in her eyes. Yet she had first been overshadowed by Ye Qing, and now she was rejected by Ye Qingchen. Today her face had been utterly trampled.

"I am going up that mountain today no matter what!"

"As a disciple of the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, I don't believe you dare stop me!"

With that.

She was already striding in great steps toward Flame Ridge Mountain!

However.

In the face of the overbearing and spoiled Han Yue Ran, Ye Qingchen merely gave her a quiet glance, his gaze suddenly turning razor sharp:

"If you dare take one more step, I will utterly annihilate you—body and soul!"

Han Yue Ran's expression changed.

She jerked her head up and met Ye Qingchen's indifferent gaze. Those eyes were enough to make one tremble—they were like the eyes of a god in the heavens looking down upon ants on the ground.

What was more.

This aura of oppression drained the color from her face; she could not catch her breath, and cold sweat soaked her entire body.

She could feel.

That this pressure from Ye Qingchen had been tempered by an unknown number of corpses and rivers of blood. He was like an Asura walking out from the depths of the Blood Prison, his entire being suffused with a murderous, blood-reeking aura!

"Scram!"

That deep voice rang out again, exploding in Han Yue Ran's ears like thunder.

In that instant.

Han Yue Ran could no longer hold up; her spirit nearly collapsed. Her body lurched, she lost her footing, and fell sitting heavily to the ground.

"Senior, we'll be leaving at once!"

The other Ice and Snow Divine Palace disciples could no longer endure this pressure either. They hurriedly helped Han Yue Ran up, and almost literally tumbled and crawled as they fled down Flame Ridge Mountain.

Ye Qing clasped her hands behind her back. Seeing their disheveled retreat, she could not help but let out a long sigh.

They had come with their noses in the air.

Yet now, as they left, they were utterly disgraced!

And all of this.

Was nothing more than them reaping what they themselves had sown!
