Chapter 3472: Chapter 3472: The Reason (Nine Updates)
In the blink of an eye, the Slaughter Sword erupted with dazzling blood light, its fierce sword light resembling a world-destroying meteor, rapidly falling from the edge of the universe, brutally colliding with Gu Han’s approaching Mystic Ice Longsword!
A deafening roar, the Destruction Divine Dao seemed like a beast ravenous for tens of thousands of years, just liberated, madly devouring and tearing apart the extreme cold emitted by Gu Han’s strike. This terrifying Juehan Sword, before Ye Chen’s sword, turned into a lamb awaiting slaughter!
Without the slightest resistance, it was shattered!
"No!!!"
Gu Han screamed miserably. He possessed the Xuan Han Body, never feeling cold since birth.
But at this moment, the instant his Mystic Ice Longsword clashed with Ye Chen’s Slaughter Sword!
Gu Han, for the first time in his life, understood what cold truly felt like!
Even the blood, the marrow, the soul felt frozen cold!
A thunderous roar, from the Slaughter Sword emerged a world-shattering tremendous force, a mist of blood exploded from Gu Han’s body, and his entire being, like an arrow shot from a bow, flew backward, directly smashing a big hole in the wall of Jinxiao Pavilion, crashing heavily to the ground!
Deathly silence...
Even breathing, even the sound of heartbeats became inaudible!
This group of martial artists, before Ye Chen’s extremely terrifying sword, felt so frightened that they instinctively suppressed all their life activities!
Each of them stood pallid, eyes hollow, like stone statues.
Feigning death is a biological instinct; when facing overwhelming power and horror, their first instinct is to play dead...
The minds of everyone were filled with endless chaos, completely unable to comprehend what had just happened!
Is this real?
A Heavenly God Realm martial artist, with one sword, instantly defeated a Holy Ancestor Realm entity?
They stiffly turned their necks towards Gu Han.
At this moment, Gu Han’s entire bones were utterly shattered, bloodied, collapsed on the ground like a pile of mud...
Miserable, too miserable!
But they knew this was because Ye Chen had held back!
Ye Chen withdrew his power at the last moment; otherwise, Gu Han would be dead!
Ye Chen slowly walked before Gu Han, looking down at the man whose eyes were filled with extreme fear, his spirit nearly breaking.
He spoke softly, "Do you believe I’m Jin Shuhui’s friend now?"
With these words, everyone’s gaze at Ye Chen no longer had a hint of doubt!
And Gu Han on the ground desperately cried out, "I believe! Young Master Ye, I believe! It’s because of my ignorance that I doubted you! Please give me another chance; I truly know I was wrong!"
In his twenties, Chaos Realm, possessing power to crush Holy Ancestor Realm experts, most importantly, Ye Chen even mastered the Destruction Divine Dao!
With such martial arts talent, wanting to join the forces in the Heavenly Human Domain would be effortless, right?
Putting on airs? Climbing social ladders?
If Ye Chen claimed to be Jin Shuhui’s friend, then Jin Shuhui should be the one basking in glory!
Ye Chen coldly looked at Gu Han, finally sheathing the Slaughter Sword without delivering a killing blow.
He refrained from killing Gu Han mainly for two reasons: first, he wanted to keep a low profile before gaining enough strength in the Outer Realm and Upper Realm. Gu Han appeared to have some status, and although Ye Chen wasn’t afraid of Gu Han’s backing, causing too big a commotion might attract unwanted attention from those forces.
Second, he wanted to inquire about the engagement matters regarding Xuan Nu of Refining God Peak from Gu Han.
Given Gu Han’s status, he would surely know more than those young men who had only heard rumors.
Suddenly, a "thump" sounded from behind Ye Chen.
He slowly turned around to see Black Gold City Lord Chen Yang kneeling before him.
Chen Yang trembled all over, lowered his head with great effort, assuming the lowest posture...
The crowd was shocked, with a look as if they’d seen a ghost...
Chen Yang was a man who valued face greatly and even had once killed a city lord for a joke and paid a high price for it!
Yet now, he knelt to Ye Chen?
Voluntarily, without a word, he knelt?
In a sense, this was even more shocking than Ye Chen’s crushing defeat of Gu Han...
Chen Yang looked terrified, his body slightly trembling, but he gritted his teeth and spoke, "Young Master Ye, I have offended you in the past; please forgive me! Whatever you need from me, just say the word, and I will spare no effort to assist you!"
Hearing this, everyone was even more stunned; Chen Yang’s words were practically acknowledging Ye Chen as his master...
Chen Yang’s eyes flickered; he may value face, but only when his life was no longer at risk!
And what truly frightened Chen Yang was not Ye Chen’s strength!
But Ye Chen’s background!
What kind of force could train such an exceptional talent?
Moreover, when Ye Chen acted, the Hongmeng Energy burst forth from his body!
Ye Chen absolutely wasn’t someone Black Gold City could afford to provoke!
After pondering for a moment, Ye Chen said, "I do indeed have something I need you to do..."
Upon hearing this, joy blossomed on Chen Yang’s face!
If he could form a connection with Ye Chen, Chen Yang’s future would undoubtedly become incredibly bright!
Chen Yang immediately nodded quickly, "Young Master, just instruct me!"
Ye Chen said indifferently, "Rise."
Then, he glanced at Gu Han, pointed casually, resolving the destructive aura within him, saying, "Take him along."
Chen Yang supported Gu Han on the ground, and soon, under Chen Yang’s lead, Ye Chen entered the City Lord’s Faction.
The Holy Ancestor Realm entities naturally had immense vitality, and with Ye Chen retracting the destructive aura, Gu Han, though still extremely weak, after consuming some fine-grade healing pills and resting for a while, now could barely walk.
The three of them sat down in the lounge of the City Lord’s Faction.
Ye Chen looked towards Gu Han, who seemed ready to be toppled by a gust of wind, and said, "Tell me about Refining God Peak seeking marriage for Xuan Nu."
Gu Han began, "Here’s how it is: Refining God Peak’s Xuan Nu, Jin Shuhui, has gained some fame in the Star Swirl Domain. Not only does she possess extraordinarily heaven-defying martial arts talents, but her appearance is also supreme among the supreme, drawing countless suitors in the Star Swirl Domain..."
"Yet, by nature, Jin Shuhui is extremely indifferent, preferring to wholeheartedly pursue martial arts without being disturbed by others. She even chose to become the Xuan Nu of Refining God Peak, no longer associating with men, focusing on secluded cultivation at Refining God Peak and Upper Realm Secret Realm, fading from people’s sight."
