Dominating Sword Immortal - Chapter 744

Chapter 744

“The Sky Fiend Fire Spirit Fruit has ripened indeed . Wonder who will be the second to go down . ” Ye Chen paid attention to the fruit underneath the lava changing its color from violet to orange . Its entire body was giving off an orange radiance, looking extremely conscientious .

If Ye Chen were a half step King, he would have been the second one to go down for sure . However, his cultivation base was only at late Sea of Soul realm, and his Protective Zhen Yuan was not strong enough . He couldn’t reveal the Bronze Armor either . Thus, if he went down, his life would be in danger . Before he could ascertain the situation underneath the lava lake, he would not make a move .

‘Since everybody is so hesitant, I’ll do it! Hope you people won’t regret in later!” Void Sect’s Supreme Elder, Armored King, laughed heartily . His figure flickered, transforming into a yellow light beam and streaking toward the lake .

Splash!

Splashing lava everywhere, he dove in .

“It’s the Armored King!”

Everybody’s faces changed .

Armored King was quite strong, at most a bit lacking compared to the Punishment King . Moreover, his defense was extremely sturdy, and even the strongest of Half step Kings like the Thunder Spirit King couldn’t compare to him in this aspect . Although that golden Qi stream had instantly turned a Half step King into ashes, it might not be able to do anything to him .

Everybody was waiting . If Armored King successfully resisted the golden Qi stream, everybody would dive in and vie for the fruit .

The density of the lava was high . Adding the numerous undercurrents therein, the Armored King’s speed was quite slow . Moreover, the Armored King himself didn’t dare to move too fast . He wasn’t sure that he would be able to resist that golden Qi current . If he had to dodge, he should be in a position to do so .

When he reached within fifty meters of the fruit, the golden Qi current again appeared, reaching before him with but a flicker .

“How fast!”

The Armored King was startled . The earthen-yellow radiance outside his body moved, condensing into a ten meters high black summit . As soon as it made contact with the golden Qi current, an intense but dull explosion occurred . With that, the black summit shrunk at a speed visible to naked eyes like melting cheese .

Taking the opportunity, the Armored King turned his body, dodging the golden Qi current as he continued downward .

“He resisted!”

Everybody’s eyes shined, but were soon alarmed, as he could resist the golden Qi current for a few moments . The fruit couldn’t be allowed to fall into his hands .

“Go . ” Qin Liu lightly shouted, her tone sounding decisive .

Shua! Shua!

Ye Chen and her moved almost at the same time, arriving at the sky above the lake in an instant and diving down .

Shua! Shua! Shua!

It was not just Ye Chen and Qin Liu, all the others had moved as well . Including the Punishment King, Forest King, Moqi Tiger, and Ice Spear King more than ten half step Kings raised their speed to peak .

In the blink of an eye, the dozen individuals entered the lake almost at the same time, rushing downward .

The more one approached the fruit, the greater was the number of the golden Qi currents . At this moment, the speed of Armored King was not even ten-thousandth of his normal speed . He absolutely didn’t dare confront multiple golden Qi currents simultaneously . He could only resist one golden Qi current for a moment, then dodge it and slowly continue downward .

Soon, he was only twenty meters away from the fruit . But right at that moment, the Punishment King, who was the strongest amongst everybody, struck decisively . It was precisely the “Punishment Strike” which almost got Ye Chen’s entire group previously . Numerous chains extended, coiling toward Armored King from every direction .

Armored King’s strength was only a bit inferior to Punishment King; a black summit once again condensed outside his body . Metal clanking sounds resounded as the chains collided with the summit . However, in the next moment, a blade light made the Armored King fly askew and collide with a golden Qi current .

Creak!

The black summit rapidly shrunk as the Armored King hurriedly escaped from the range of the Golden Qi current .

“Punishment King, you dare act against me?” Armored King roared indignantly .

“Why would I not dare?” The Punishment King snorted .

With the Punishment King as lead, others also gained courage and immediately unleashed a wave of attacks on the Armored King as he neared the fruit, causing him to be extremely furious but helpless .

Soon, everybody was near the fruit .

Everybody was dodging the golden Qi current while guarding against the others at the same time . Although the golden Qi current’s temperature was quite high, as long as they didn’t get too near the fruit, its frequency of appearance was not too high . Moreover, all of those who entered the lake were powerful existences amongst Half step Kings . Even if they were scorched by the current, they could evade at the crucial moment .

“Hehe, there is only one fruit, but we have a dozen people here . I’m afraid everyone’s share won’t be good . ” The Punishment King swept his gaze and darkly chucked .

Ice Spear King spoke firmly, “There are indeed too many . Let’s reduce a bit . ”

“Be careful now, as there might be a close fight . ” Qin Lie sent a Zhen Yuan transmission to Ye Chen .

“Rest assured, I know what to do!”

Ye Chen could feel that the entire lava lake was bound by a restrictive layer . It was causing the energies to not concentrate, and thus, greatly lowering everyone’s offensive power . Adding on the high density of lava on top, everybody’s offensive power had halved here, and was not enough to pierce defenses . Hereby, it could be concluded that the primary threat was to collide with the golden Qi currents .

“Die!”

The first one to be out of luck was a slightly frail Half step King . He first suffered Forest King’s attack, which almost made him run into a golden Qi current . At the crucial moment, he forcefully evaded, but was then again struck by Moqi Tiger .

“No!”

With a frightened expression, this person was drowned in the current, turning into ashes .

“Leave!”

Soon, two Half step Kings, who believed that their strength was not enough rushed upwards . They wouldn’t give up their lives here . They didn’t fear death, but there were too many experts, making it impossible for them to vie for the fruit .

With one dead and two left, only ten people were left behind inside the lake .

“Kid, this is not the place you can stay . ” Ice Spear King struck his spear at Ye Chen out of the blue .

“This guy!

Out of everybody, Ye Chen’s defense was the weakest . If he attacked others, he wouldn’t be able to pierce their defenses, but that might not be the case for Ye Chen . Moreover, even if he failed, he could easily make Ye Chen lose his balance and be pushed toward a golden Qi current .

“Get lost!”

Ye Chen waved the Thunder Disaster Sword, facing him with a dark golden ripple .

Bang!

Even with the restrictive layer, an explosion occurred and lava surged .

“What?”

Ice Spear King only used fifty-sixty percent of his strength . He naturally believed that it would be enough to send Ye Chen flying back . However, he had miscalculated, as the one sent flying back was him . Caught completely off guard, he couldn’t react at all .

Even moreare unfortunately, there were two golden Qi currents before his body .

Peng!

Ice Spear King’s body shone . First his seven apertures let out an intense light, then his flesh started to crumble, fusing with the lava . The long spear in his hand and defensive armor slowly sank to the depths of the lake .

“Huh…”

Ye Chen had a dumbfounded expression . He had merely counterattacked, with absolutely no intention of killing Ice Spear King . He believed that the latter should be able to resist his strike . What he didn’t expect was that the Ice Spear King had only used fifty-sixty percent of his strength, and was caught completely unprepared, resulting in his death .

“Sigh! I have now offended the Ice Pavilion as well . ” Ye Chen smiled bitterly .

“Kid, you’re courting death!”

Everybody was astonished at Ye Chen’s strength . Even if Ice Spear King had been careless, he was not some ordinary Half step King . It was actually he who was killed in one strike . As soon as Ice Spear King died, Forest King and Moqi Tiger’s eyes shone with ominous glints and immediately unleashed their attacks at Ye Chen .

“You dare!”

Qin Liu faced the two while holding the Sky Hammer .

At that moment, an astonishing scene occurred . Forest King and Moqi Tiger absolutely didn’t expect Qin Liu to have a pseudo extreme grade artifact, and immediately followed after Ice Spear King’s footsteps; they were knocked back and collided with golden Qi currents before turning into ashes .

“What a fellow…to have a pseudo extreme grade artifact!” Punishment King’s mouth twitched .

Among the former ten, three had died, leaving behind only seven .

“F*ck, we can’t stay here . Escape, quick!”

The consequent deaths made others’ hearts chilled . They immediately charged upwards, not willing to battle here . The slightest carelessness would lead them tumbling into the golden Qi current and turning them into ashes . Amongst everybody, Armored King was the only one who could resist the golden Qi current for a few moments .

In the end, only four people were left behind inside the lake—Qin Liu, Ye Chen, the Armored King, and the Punishment King . The others all had died or escaped .

“Mysterious King, I didn’t expect you to have a pseudo extreme grade artifact . But, now that you’ve killed Forest King and Forest Tiger, Lin family and Sky Tiger Clan won’t let you off . ”

The Punishment King didn’t fear Qin Liu at all . He was a peak Half step King . Even though Qin Liu had a pseudo extreme grade artifiact, it wouldn’t be enough to suppress him . At most, they would be tied .

Qin Liu said, “Life and death is decided by fate, and riches by heavens . If they didn’t wish to die, they should have stayed holed inside their homes . ”

Although offending Lin family and Sky Tiger Clan was troublesome, it didn’t matter at this moment . She could only blame it on the others for not being careful .

The Punishment King said, “You’re Mysterious Queen’s Master . Lin family and Sky Tiger Clan might not look for trouble with you . But, this kid is heading to a certain disaster . Ice Pavilion will back their people regardless of being in the right or wrong . ”

He didn’t know that Ye Chen had not only offended Ice Pavilion, but even Void Emperor, Shadow Sect, and Gu Clan . Therefore, as far as Ye Chen was concerned, one Ice Pavilion didn’t make much of a difference .

“Humph, it was their fate to die here . If other Kings behind them make a move later, my disciple Qing Xuan and Dragon King won’t watch with their hands crossed . ”

As Mysterious Queen’s Master, how could Qin Liu not know the intentions of the former? She and Dragon King would both protect Ye Chen . Whoever acted against Ye Chen would be acting against them .

“Dragon King? Who knows if he is even alive!” On the other side, the Armored King sneered .
