Dominating Sword Immortal - Chapter 817

Chapter 817

Ye Chen forced down his urge to unsheathe the Sky Scorpio Sword . At this point, the black-robed old man was already too near . Even using Sword Domain would not allow him to escape the other’s reach . Thus, it would be better for him to judge the situation calmly . Otherwise, a single Sky Scorpio Sword could bring about countless changes .

Most importantly, the Sky Scorpio Sword cost several folds more Zhen Yuan than the Evil Vanquishing Sword . A single swing of the sword would most likely empty his entire Zhen Yuan, which would certainly be a path of doom .

Turning around, Ye Chen asked calmly, “Your majesty, what is your business with us?”

The black-robed strode in the void towards Ye Chen and spoke with a grim voice, “Two things…to take her and kill you?”

“You really intend for a life-and-death struggle?”

Operating the Green Lotus Sword Arts, Ye Chen accumulated his Zhen Yuan . The Destruction Sword Soul and Immortal Sword Soul in his body vibrated incessantly, as if ready to fly out at any moment . The opponent was a Demonic Human King . Ye Chen couldn’t even begin to imagine how strong he was . Thus, he had to push his battle power to its limits and even surpass it, just to have a mere sliver of chance!

“Life-and-death struggle? You’ve to be qualified first!” Stopping a dozen li away, the black-robed man old man said with disdain .

“You step back a little . ” Ye Chen knew that this battle would be hard to avoid, and would probably the most dangerous battle ever since he had stepped on the martial dao . He let Murong Qingcheng retreat a few dozens of li, so that she wouldn’t be caught in the aftermath, and maybe even escape by herself if she had a chance .

“Be careful!”

Pursing her lips, she quietly stepped back . Of course, escaping by herself would be impossible for her . However, at the moment, she couldn’t be a distraction for Ye Chen .

“Yeah!” Ye Chen faintly nodded, shifting his gaze back on black-robed old man .

“Seems like you’ll resist to the bitter end, eh?” Black-robed old man said .

Ye Chen responded, ” I’ve never given up ever since I’ve stepped on the road of martial dao . This time won’t be any different, neither any time in future . If you want my life, come!”

He took out a ten upper grade pills and stuffed them into his mouth . He would certainly require to replenish his Zhen Yuan at crucial moments .

Feeling the victory in his grasp, the black-robed old man didn’t stop him . “Prepared enough?” His voice turned stern .

“Bring it on!”

“Haha, die then!” The black-robed old man issued a palm strike at Ye Chen from dozens of li away . This strike contained no profound, only pure Zhen Yuan energy . However, this pure Zhen Yuan energy issued by a Demonic Human King was frightening to the extreme . The clouds floating in the sky sped by a hundred times, as if fast forwarded in a movie . The ocean water was cut in half, creating an enormous gorge . As for the volcanic island, half of it was instantly destroyed by the strike’s aura .

The debris of destruction didn’t fly away, but remained suspended in the air . The palm of strike of the old man had instantly turned a thousand li of sky into vacuum . At the same time, the darkened sky and surging demonic power wave made it seem as if doomsday had arrived .

However, this was not enough for Ye Chen’s face to change drastically . The space before him shattered like a mirror into hundreds of shards . This might was more than double that of Bewitching Mirror Shattering .

Waning Moon would be a mere joke before this . Ye Chen hissed as azure Qi streams rapidly spread out from his body . In the next moment, a majestic sword domain surrounded several hundred li around him . Azure swords condensed one after another, shooting forth .

“Eh? A Sword Domain!”

The thought struck the old man like lightning . There were not more than three Sword Kings with Sword Domains, and he only knew one of them . Sword Domain was an integral body capable of suppression, defense, and offense . If a Sword King had trapped him in his Sword Domain, he would have only one thought: to escape as fast as he could and as far as he could . If he failed to escape, he would be ground to death amidst absolute despair .

Unfortunately, Ye Chen’s Sword Domain was merely in its embryonic form . Moreover, his cultivation base lacked a greater realm . Even if he had formed true Sword Domain, the old man would not be afraid . The reason he was astounded was that Ye Chen had grasped Sword Domain too prematurely, which was simply beyond common sense .

Sword Domain in itself was not sufficient . Holding the Evil Vanquishing Sword, Ye Chen slashed while using his strongest move—Bewitching Mirror Destruction . A cyan-colored sword rain burst out .

Peng Peng Peng!

Kacha…Kacha!

Countless explosions echoed as a starry river seemed to have formed between Ye Chen and the black-robed old man . Inside the starry river, bright sword light spread out while emitting dazzling rays . One after another, resplendent cracks spread out as if that region had been pierced by the sharpest blade, marking an Armageddon .

In the end, all the energy streams disintegrated, and an indistinct black palm charged out from within, fiercely clashing with Ye Chen’s Protective Zhen Yuan .

Puff!

Ye Chen violently spurted out a mouthful of blood . The combination of his Protective Zhen Yuan and pseudo supreme grade armor couldn’t even take a single hit . In the next instant, an indistinct palm imprint could be seen on his armor, and a boundless power entered his body through his armor . Ye Chen felt as if all his internal organs were disintegrating, and his chest almost protruded back .

“Too powerful!”

Ye Chen didn’t die . First the Bronze Armor, second the Dragon Bone layer on his skin, and third the Undying Body…One could imagine how strong his vitality was . Even so, the black-robed old man’s casual palm strike had almost exploded his entire body into pieces .

Ye Chen had finally experienced the strength of a Demonic Human King . The difference between the two sides wasn’t merely of a single greater realm .

Gulp!

Swallowing one of the pills, Ye Chen took out an upper grade Zhen Yuan mending pill and popped it in his mouth .

“Impossible! He didn’t die?”

It was completely out of black-robed old man’s expectations . It was meaningless to say how powerful a Life and Death King was . Just knowing that they could shatter the void was enough . Even though his palm strike was a lot weakened by the Sword Domain and Bewitching Mirror Shattering, it was more than enough to kill a ‘strongest’ half-step King wearing a pseudo supreme grade armor .

“Not bad! I’ve gained some respect for you . ”

Black-robed old man stood with his hands behind his back as a slither of graveness appeared in his eyes . If Ye Chen attained Life and Death realm in the future, he would become a terrifying enemy . Since he was an enemy, he must eliminate the roots at all costs . Otherwise, if the latter was allowed to mature, he didn’t dare imagine the consequences .

Ye Chen’s body was bent, giving off an extremely exhausted aura like a sole candle flame flickering in the wind . However, his eyes were still bright as ever . As he stared at the black-robed old man, the medicinal Zhen Yuan in his body soared while his Undying Body operated, rapidly healing his body .

Seeing Ye Chen’s aura soar, seeming as if it would restore completely, the black-robed old man’s face changed . What were his eyes seeing? A mere half-step King had actually comprehended Undying Body . This was an ability of Life and Death Kings, and a trademark of them at that .

“Wrong . It hasn’t reached the Limb Regrowth step!”

As a possessor of Undying Body . the black-robed old man naturally knew the mysteries of limb regrowth . Although Ye Chen’s restoring speed was far below Limb Regrowth step, it was still not to be looked upon . Such a grave injury had been seventy-eighty percent healed in a moment .

“Let me see how many palms you can take!”

Still not using any profound, the black-robed man extended his palm and struck again . He was sure that this palm strike would be the nail in the coffin . It should be known that Ye Chen almost died even when was in his peak state . Now that he wasn’t even in his peak condition, there was hardly any doubt!

“Demonic Fist!”

Suddenly…

The bat wings behind Murong Qingcheng shone with a resplendent black light as her speed reached an unprecedented state with a flap of her wings . In less than one-hundredth of a second, she arrived above the black-robed old man and punched down . This palm was more or less a tiny resplendent sun .

It was unknown whether the black-robed old man couldn’t react or didn’t care, but her punch hit the black-robed old man .

Bang!

When her fist reached a meter from black-robed old man’s body, a black colored Qi barrier stopped it . Fierce Qi blasts erupted, soaring into the sky .

Blob!

The Qi wall disintegrated, and Murong Qingcheng was blasted off .

The black-robed old man smiled, “As expected of a perfect demonic vessel! You have many secrets . The punch just now contained a pure King grade demonic power . Otherwise, it couldn’t have broken my Zhen Yuan barrier . That’s even better! The more potential you have, the more secrets you have, the better for my demonic human clan . ”

“Even a pure demonic power essence fist couldn’t injure him?” A trace of bitterness appeared on Murong Qingcheng’s face . She had obtained this demonic essence from planar battlefield, and its purity was equivalent King grade demonic power . Following her breakthrough into half-step King realm, her diluted demonic power essence was also reaching the King grade . Combining it with the Demonic Power Fist, she felt that she should be able to threaten the black-robed old man somewhat . However, the latter’s strength was completely beyond her expectations .

“Six Seals Sky Formation!”

Retracting his smile, the black-robed old man threw out six crystal pillars which shuttled through the void and surrounded Murong Qingcheng . In the next moment, the pillars erupted in a bright light and linked with each other, forming an enclosed crystal space . Murong Qingcheng floated in the sky inside, trapped completely .

“You can have a rest here! Let me kill him first, then we can go back . ” The black-robed old man no longer spared a glance for Murong Qingcheng and focused on Ye Chen again .

Ye Chen’s aura had already been completely restored . A year ago, his Undying Body had faintly touched the second layer—Limb Regrowth . As a result, his regenerative ability was far higher than before . Although the previous strike did leave him on the verge of death, as long as his body was not destroyed, he could quickly recover to his peak . Of course, the Undying Body in early stages also had a limit . He didn’t dare to be certain how many more hits he could take . It might be even possible that his body would collapse by the very next strike .

“I can’t take a second hit . ”

Ye Chen glanced at the trapped Murong Qingcheng and a gleam of determination flickered in his eyes . His storage ring flickered and a peerless sword appeared in his hands . Before it was even unsheathed, a slaughter sword Qi filled the heaven and earth .

With the Sky Scorpio Sword in hand, Ye Chen’s aura further increased without ceasing .
