Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 611: Killing the Three Brothers

This was Hou Long’s ultimate technique, and its grade had even reached the high level of the Earth Rank. Combined with his Earth Attribute Energy, an untold number of experts had already fallen to this move.

Thus, in Hou Long’s mind, Ye Qingchen was currently mounting a full-on assault. Faced with his Earth River Carriage, he would have absolutely no way to resist and was destined to perish in the maws of its flood dragons.

However, to Hou Long’s astonishment, while Ye Qingchen was in the middle of his assault, a pale green Light Membrane suddenly materialized around him. This membrane not only blocked all the flying sand and stones stirred up by the rampaging flood dragons but also protected his body, allowing him to move continuously through the turbulent space.

Normally, no matter how powerful one’s movement technique was, their speed would be greatly diminished once the surrounding space became unstable.

Yet now, Ye Qingchen was moving as smoothly as a fish in water under the siege of several flood dragons, and he even had enough spare energy to continue his assault on the three brothers.

The three of them were already struggling to fend off Ye Qingchen’s Leaf Blade Storm and Wind Blade Sword Technique. Since Hou Long had been gathering power for his own attack, the full pressure fell upon Hou Hu and Hou Shui.

Hou Shui had long been eroded by Ye Qingchen’s Wood Attribute Energy. Now, with the pressure doubled, he continuously spat out mouthfuls of blood, clearly having sustained severe injuries.

Seeing his brother injured, Hou Long no longer dared to keep manipulating the flood dragons of his Earth River Carriage and began helping his brothers block Ye Qingchen’s attacks.

This resulted in a very strange scene. Several earth-yellow flood dragons chased after Ye Qingchen while his body weaved through the air. His Double Pupil Sword swung again and again, sending volley after volley of the Wind Blade Sword Technique slashing toward the three Hou brothers.

And the Hou brothers, whose Realms were far higher than Ye Qingchen’s, could only passively take the hits. Their faces grew increasingly pale; it was evident they were on the verge of being overwhelmed by his relentless attacks.

What shocked Hou Long the most was that even when Ye Qingchen was occasionally struck by a flood dragon’s attack, the pale green Light Membrane on his body would simply flicker and withstand the tearing bite.

This defensive power was even stronger than that of the three Hou brothers, who were masters of Earth Attribute Energy!

With such astonishing defensive power, such powerful offensive methods, and what seems to be an inexhaustible supply of Spiritual Energy to draw upon... is he really only at the First Layer of the Martial Emperor Realm, like the Saint Heir’s message said?

After all, the three of them, working together, had once killed an expert at the Eighth Layer of the Martial Emperor Realm. Yet now, facing a Ye Qingchen who was supposedly only at the First Layer, they were being completely suppressed.

Although the three found it hard to believe, as more and more Wood Attribute Energy accumulated within them, their life force was being consumed at an astonishing rate.

Hou Shui wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said to Hou Long, "Big Brother, call for help!"

Hou Long glanced at Hou Shui in surprise before Hou Hu also spoke up. "Big Brother, send a message to Zhang Guangling! Tell him to hurry over! At this rate, the three of us won’t last much longer."

Hou Long could hardly believe these words were coming from his two normally proud brothers. For them to ask for help means they have admitted, deep down, that the three of them are no match for Ye Qingchen. It also reflects just how dire their physical condition has become; otherwise, they would never have said such a thing.

Hou Long sighed helplessly. He pulled a Jade Talisman from his robes and crushed it.

Ye Qingchen naturally saw Hou Long’s action. This was exactly the result he had been waiting for.

The truth is, even though I’ve appeared incomparably brave, I haven’t been using my full strength at all. The entire point was to force the Hou brothers to call for reinforcements so I could wipe them all out in one fell swoop. Now that they’ve started calling for help, I need to end this fight before their backup arrives.

At this thought, Ye Qingchen no longer hesitated. The Wood Attribute Energy within his body instantly transformed into Fire Attribute Energy, and intimidating flames began to dance on his Double Pupil Sword.

Wind Blade Sword Technique!

This was the first time Ye Qingchen had used this technique since mastering Fire Attribute Energy. Coupled with the Wind Attribute Energy inherent to the Wind Blade Sword Technique, the wind fanned the flames. In an instant, a sword mirage composed entirely of pure Fire Attribute Energy appeared before the three Hou brothers.

Ordinarily, the three Hou brothers, all being users of Earth Attribute Energy, would not have feared Ye Qingchen’s Fire Attribute Energy.

But they had forgotten that by now, a vast amount of Wood Attribute Energy had accumulated not just around them, but even inside their very bodies.

When the Wind Blade Sword Technique reached them, it instantly ignited all that Wood Attribute Energy.

Their earth-yellow armor, which was already in tatters, was instantly reduced to ashes by the flames.

Without the protection of their earth-yellow armor, how could the three brothers possibly withstand Ye Qingchen’s attack?

The Leaf Blade Storm, which had not yet been fully exhausted, was also ignited by the fiery Wind Blade Sword Technique, transforming into Fire Blades that burrowed into the brothers’ bodies.

The Wood Attribute Energy inside their bodies was also ignited by these Fire Blades.

At this moment, the three brothers felt true despair. In this situation, not even a Daluo Golden Immortal could save their lives. What’s even more shocking is that Ye Qingchen hasn’t just comprehended Wood Attribute Energy, he’s also mastered Fire Attribute Energy! The Saint Heir never mentioned a single word about such critical intelligence when he issued the order... The Saint Heir has doomed us!

In truth, the Saint Heir was not to blame. Who could have possibly anticipated that Ye Qingchen would master two different Attribute Energies while only at the First Layer of the Martial Emperor Realm?

Ye Qingchen took a deep breath. He paid no more attention to the Hou brothers, who were now burning from the inside out. Instead, he brandished his Double Pupil Sword and slashed at the flood dragons still chasing him.

These flood dragons no longer had anyone controlling them, and after chasing Ye Qingchen for so long, more than half of their inherent energy had already been consumed.

Therefore, facing Ye Qingchen’s attacks, they couldn’t even last for a few moments before he sliced them all apart, and they crumbled into dust that scattered on the ground.

Ye Qingchen landed on the ground as well. Turning to look, he saw that the arrogant and overbearing Hou brothers had been burned to ashes. Only a few storage rings and three point tokens remained scattered on the ground.

He casually collected the items and picked up the three point tokens. I wonder if I can transfer these points to my own token, he thought.
