Chapter 2560: Chapter 2534: Han Ke! (Four More)
However, what he found somewhat amusing and frustrating was, despite not knowing if it was due to the nature of the Sky-reaching Stone, even after adding a massive amount of high-level materials enough to forge a top-grade Ancient Artifact, the spiritual energy emitted by the Green Lotus Annihilation Sword was still extremely weak…
Shaking his head, Ye Chen stored the Green Lotus Annihilation Sword away and returned to his dormitory.
First things first, he went straight to bed and slept soundly!
These past few days, although he had gained a lot, it was anything but easy!
He was on the brink of death several times, constantly tormented by excruciating pain!
Even if his body could withstand it, his spirit was almost at its limit.
He needed to relax and recover properly.
He slept for a full three days and three nights!
On the morning of the third day, a ray of sunlight entered through the window, casting itself upon Ye Chen’s face. Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, stretched lazily, and felt completely refreshed!
He got out of bed, moved his body around, and walked outside his house.
He wasn’t going anywhere in particular, just taking a casual stroll around the sect. Cultivation should be steady and sustained, not forced and rushed. After having his strength surge, it was time to slow down.
As he walked, Ye Chen arrived at the Outer Court’s Immortal Heart Forest. The Immortal Heart Forest was open to all disciples of the sect, even servant disciples could enter.
However, when Qiu Wen was alive, hardly anyone dared to enter, aside from himself.
Inner sect disciples and true disciples naturally had higher-level places to rest, and ordinary servant disciples and outer disciples, fearful of angering Qiu Wen, dared not come here.
But after Qiu Wen’s death, the Immortal Heart Forest gradually became more lively.
As Ye Chen entered the Immortal Heart Forest, he saw a heavenly scene resembling that of a mystical place. Many disciples were enjoying the greenery, meditating, chatting, and drinking merrily, displaying an atmosphere of peace and prosperity.
As Ye Chen made his way into the forest, he too relaxed, as if momentarily leaving the cruel, bloody world of martial arts, enjoying an atmosphere free from worldly strife, and finding a brief respite.
But before the smile on Ye Chen’s face could fully form, a noise of quarreling reached his ears.
Ye Chen was slightly taken aback, shook his head with a bitter smile, and returned from his fantasies to reality.
Indeed, in a world where strength is paramount, is there truly any place free from worldly strife?
He looked towards where the sounds of the dispute were coming from, and his pupils constricted!
He saw several women surrounding another woman, and that surrounded woman was none other than Chu Ying!
Chu Ying stood there emotionless. Although her time in the Divine Extreme Sect was short, relying on her awakened and monstrously talented martial arts ability, as well as Tu Lanxin’s care and resources provided, her strength could be said to have skyrocketed!
Her martial cultivation had broken through many small divisions of realms. Combined with her unexpectedly awakened Life and Death Body, her true strength could be compared to a monstrous talent at the Mid Great Void stage.
Surrounding Chu Ying were three women, among them two were Late Great Void outer disciples. The one leading them had above-average looks, but her attire was quite enchanting. She had tailored the outer disciple’s attire herself, cropping the hem to her upper thighs, almost fully exposing her long and fair legs to the air.
The neckline was also wide open, revealing an ample and fair cleavage.
This woman, named Han Jiaojiao, possesses the level of cultivation of the Great Void Seventh Layer Heaven!
The strength of these women is considered average within the outer sanctum, however, the current Chu Ying is still somewhat strained when dealing with them.
Ye Chen’s gaze flickered, not striking immediately but instead chose to observe first.
With his current power, even though he could easily dismiss these women, since Chu Ying cultivates within the Divine Extreme Sect, encountering some conflicts and disputes is inevitable. Ye Chen can’t always appear by her side in timely fashion; allowing her to gain some experience facing conflicts is also beneficial.
All he needs to do is show up when it’s truly necessary.
Han Jiaojiao sized Chu Ying up and down and scoffed, “Look at you, acting all flirty. Great Void realm? You must be a servant disciple, right? Where’s your servant disciple outfit? Don’t you know the rules of the sect? Dressing up so flashy, who are you trying to seduce?
Firstly, this Immortal Heart Forest isn’t a place for a little vixen like you, is it? Thinking you can seduce everyone with just a pretty face? Haha.”
Ye Chen’s eyes turned frosty. Under Tu Lanxin’s care, Chu Ying naturally didn’t need to start as a servant disciple and didn’t receive the outfit. This enchantress dressed up like this yet had the gall to criticize someone else?
Coldness also flashed in Chu Ying’s beautiful eyes as she spoke emotionlessly, “Step aside.”
A vicious look crossed Han Jiaojiao’s face as she retorted, “Oh? Getting angry, are we? Didn’t realize you had such a temper when criticized. Think you’re pure and noble?”
With that, she produced a Dragonslayer Sword in her hand, placing the blade against Chu Ying’s delicate face, “If you’re angry, how about a little sparring match?
A life-or-death duel, I’ll take it too. I’m rather curious to see, once this face of yours is scarred, will it still be pretty?”
At this moment, a male voice came from not too far away.
“Han Jiaojiao, what are you doing? Pointing a sword at someone for no reason, isn’t that quite impolite?”
The speaker was a handsome and refined young man dressed neatly, also wearing the attire of an outer disciple, but his strength was a few notches above Han Jiaojiao’s!
He walked up to Han Jiaojiao and separated her from Chu Ying, “Could you give me, Lu Yuan, some face? We’re all here to have fun, don’t ruin others’ good time.”
Although Lu Yuan has only recently advanced in strength and might still fall short of Yuan Dao’s, he is formidable enough to rank within the top hundred of the outer disciples. To someone like Han Jiaojiao, he is leagues apart.
Facing Han Jiaojiao, Lu Yuan naturally exuded confidence. Speaking, he revealed a straightforward smile to Chu Ying, “Junior sister, don’t worry about it.”
At this moment, however, Han Jiaojiao, seeing Lu Yuan, displayed a playful look, completely not taking him seriously, and frivolously asked, “Heh, looks like Young Master Lu has taken a fancy to you, huh? You’re in luck, reeling in a catch so quickly?”
By now, more and more people were starting to look their way.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan’s expression slightly darkened, “Han Jiaojiao, you should speak with some respect, maintaining the basic courtesy is a must.”
However, he didn’t argue back. Chu Ying was indeed beautiful, even within a sect like Divine Extreme, she was a first-class presence. Even the number one beauty of the outer sanctum, Wen Min’er, when it comes to looks, was still a notch below Chu Ying.
With her Dragonslayer Sword at hand, Han Jiaojiao slapped her palm with it and asked, “From the sound of it, are you standing up for her?”
Lu Yuan flicked his sleeve, “Standing up for her? I simply can’t stand someone bullying others by throwing their weight around!”
“What a righteous Young Master Lu!” Han Jiaojiao suddenly spoke sharply, “However, I wonder if you are familiar with Divine Elephant Fist Han Ke?”
