Chapter 732: Shi Qianhan’s True Strength!
“Xiao Yuanjing, you sure hid it well!”
At this moment, Luo Tianya’s expression was extremely cold, and his heart was in turmoil!
Pseudo Emperor!
He was already a martial venerable, and was only a step away from achieving the Emperor Stage. Not to mention him, who was ranked No.1 on the Martial Venerable Leaderboard, even if everyone here were to join forces, they would still not be a match for a Pseudo Emperor!
“Are you guys shocked and surprised?”
Xiao Yuanjing seemed to enjoy everyone’s reaction. He smiled faintly and said, “This zombie is a member of my Xiao Clan. He stepped onto the ghost ship 20 years ago, and the faces on the walls were all done by him.
In order not to be assimilated by the ghost ship, he refined himself into a zombie and waited for the Xiao Clan to come!
“Hmph!”
Shi Qianhan suddenly sneered, “Xiao Yuanjing, do you think you can rest easy with the help of the Pseudo Emperor after capturing Luo Shuiyao?”
Following his words, he took a step forward, and an invisible sword intent emanated from his body. There was no sword gleam, but in that instant, the surroundings were filled with overwhelming sword qi and sword intent!
Under this sword intent, everyone, including Luo Tianya, felt an irresistible pressure. It was as if a mountain had descended.
Even Ye Chen’s eyes focused under the sword intent.
Shi Qianhan had become more powerful again!
The most shocking thing was that the sword intent that erupted from Shi Qianhan’s body was actually on par with the Xiao Clan’s corpse puppet.
The smile on Xiao Yuanjing’s face suddenly stiffened, and he seemed to have recalled something as he inhaled sharply, “Y-You’re also a Pseudo Emperor!”
Everyone looked at Shi Qianhan in shock. No one had expected him to break through to the Pseudo Emperor Stage!
Luo Tianya, Tang Yiming, and the others were especially bitter and dejected. It could be said that they had grown up listening to Shi Qianhan’s legends.
They had once thought that they would be able to look down on any genius after reaching such a level. Never had they imagined that Shi Qianhan would achieve Pseudo Emperor Stage before them!
Shi Qianhan let out a cold snicker, “It’s all thanks to your Xiao Clan. If it weren’t for your Martial Emperor, I wouldn’t have been able to feel the true intent of Emperor Stage!”
Martial Emperor was the Emperor Stage!
If he wanted to achieve the Emperor Stage, he needed to comprehend his own emperor’s intent. Only then would he be able to walk the true path of a martial emperor!
He had charged into the Xiao Clan the other day with an attempt to rescue his junior sister. In the end, he had forced the Martial Emperor of the Xiao Clan to break out of his seclusion and severely injured him with a single palm strike. However, it could be considered a blessing in disguise. It had allowed him to feel what the intent of an emperor was.
In addition, after stepping onto the ghost ship and seeing Yu’er, his enlightenment mind was completely perfected, and his cultivation base naturally broke through to the Pseudo Emperor Stage.
“It’s time to settle the grudge between your Xiao Clan and me!”
Shi Qianhan took another step forward, and his sword intent surged once again. Under the pressure, Xiao Yuanjing spat a mouthful of blood.
Right at this moment, a cold voice sounded from the side, “Shi Qianhan, don’t be too smug. Take a look at what this is first.”
Bai Shaoyu, who had not appeared until now, slowly walked out with an ice coffin. Inside the ice coffin lay an extremely beautiful woman in red.
Shi Qianhan’s body stiffened, and his face twitched, “Yu’er!”
“Hahaha!”
Xiao Yuanjing laughed loudly and said, “Shi Qianhan, do you think I don’t know why you set foot on the ghost ship this time? You’re here for the female corpse in the coffin, aren’t you? Now that she’s in my hands, if you dare to move, we’ll destroy her!”
Shi Qianhan roared, his eyes bloodshot, “No, don’t…”
It could be said that in this world, the person inside the ice coffin was his everything, even more important than his life.
When he saw Yu’er in Bai Shaoyu’s hands, Shi Qianhan felt the heartache he was feeling had peaked. The pain reached the depths of his soul.
He said with a trembling voice, “Xiao Yuanjing, return Yu’er to me. I won’t kill you!”
“Return her to you?”
Xiao Yuanjing smirked coldly, “Idiot, are you still unable to tell the situation? Do you think you’re qualified to negotiate with me?”
Shi Qianhan took a deep breath in and asked, “What are you going to do?”
Xiao Yuanjing ignored him and fixed his gaze on Ye Chen, “Ye, hand it over.”
Everyone could not help but look at Ye Chen after he said that.
Ye Chen looked at him coldly, “What do you want?”
“Stop pretending!”
Xiao Yuanjing roared, his eyes filled with ferocity, “My zombie saw you obtain a stone tablet earlier. As long as you hand it to me, I can spare your worthless life!”
The Xiao Clan had been planning for that stone tablet for decades, and he had set foot on the ghost ship to take it away. He did not expect Ye Chen to get it before him!
How could he not be furious?!
Luo Shuiyao was puzzled, “What stone tablet? Why didn’t we see it?”
“Stone tablet?”
Ye Chen squinted and subsequently shook his head, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I don’t have any stone tablet!”
He was also enlightened!
The Xiao Clan was actually here for the Forbidden Ancient Desolate Realm Tablet!
“Great, that’s just great!”
Xiao Yuanjing’s expression suddenly turned malevolent, “Since you’re unwilling to hand it over, don’t even think about leaving this place alive!”
After saying that, he turned to Luo Tianya and Shi Qianhan, “As long as you kill Ye, I’ll release Luo Shuiyao and return the female corpse to you. Otherwise, that’ll be the end for you guys!”
Luo Tianya and Shi Qianhan’s expressions changed immediately. Clearly, they did not expect his ultimate target to be Ye Chen!
Sensing their hesitation, Xiao Yuanjing said coldly, “Don’t challenge my patience. I’ll count to three. If you don’t make a move, I’ll kill Luo Shuiyao and destroy the female corpse!”
Luo Shuiyao cried, “Brother, no!”
Xiao Yuanjing grabbed her and gave her a tight slap, “Shut up, b*tch!”
Luo Tianya’s expression changed a few times. In the end, he turned around slowly and looked at Ye Chen. Guilt flashed across his face, “Brother Ye, I’m sorry!”
Ever since he was young, he had doted on his younger sister dearly, afraid that she would be bullied. For Luo Shuiyao, he had once killed his way into the Huang family and forced Huang Yu to kneel. It was also for Luo Shuiyao that he had mercilessly crushed Huang Yu to death.
Even though he was unwilling to fight Ye Chen now, he had to do it!
Shi Qianhan looked at Ye Chen with struggle and pain in his eyes. However, it was replaced by determination in the end, “Brother Ye, I owe you another life. I’ll pay you back in my next life!”
His heart was in a mess!
One was his savior, and the other was the love of his life. In the end, it was still Yu’er who held a higher position in his heart.
It was because he knew that if he lost Yu’er, he would rather die. For Yu’er, he would rather become the enemy of the world!
He laughed loudly as he thought to this point.
“I, Shi Qianhan, have been unfilial to my master, disloyal to the sect, heartless to my fellow disciples, and unjust to my friends!
What’s the difference between me, an unfilial, disloyal, and unjust person compared to an animal?!”
