Chapter 372: Thwarted
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Chen swung his palm toward Bai Yao. The Azure Dragon Phantom Body technique was activated as he charged at full speed toward her.
In the blink of an eye, he was about to touch Bai Yao, but something unexpected happened!
An old figure actually rushed out from the entrance!
“Ant, how dare you touch my daughter? Die!”
A hand grabbed Bai Yao’s hand and pulled her into the entrance of the Ghost Prison, while the other hand attacked Ye Chen!
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed as he swung the Dragonslayer Sword to meet the attack.
The lake water on both sides of Yunhe Lake also became restless, constantly rushing toward the shore, draining this artificial lake dry!
Puchi!
The old man’s eyes were filled with shock as he spat out a mouthful of blood. Thanks to Ye Chen’s fierce sword strike, his arm was severed and suffered many wounds!
Ye Chen did not fare well either. The moment his sword collided with Elder Bai’s hand, he realized that the latter was a unity realm expert or stronger! An entire cultivation realm higher than his own!
His body was sent flying back more than ten meters before he crashed into a huge tree by the shore. However, by the time he got back on his feet, the entrance to the Ghost Prison had already closed, and all that was left was dry land!
At that moment, Ye Chen’s heart was filled with rage. He took a step forward and arrived at the spot where the entrance had been…
Bang!
He punched the ground!
Bang!
Ye Chen threw another punch, creating a deep pit in the ground.
Ye Chen continued to punch, causing the surroundings to tremble, and his rage-filled roars shook the heavens!
However, Ye Chen had no intention of stopping even though his fist was already covered in blood.
At this moment, he was like a bloodthirsty demon!
Xiang Chengdong walked over and said softly,”Mr. Ye, the one who attacked you just now is Elder Bai of the Ghost Prison. This person is extremely powerful and can be considered a top expert in Hauxia’s martial arts world.”
“Although Ghost Prison is closed, it doesn’t mean that we no longer have a chance. It has to be opened eventually.”
Ye Chen did not care at all. He continued throwing one punch after another.
His eyes were bloodthirsty and cold.
At this moment, a voice rang out from the Samsara Graveyard.
“Disciple, it’s pointless for you to continue like this. I have an idea. This Ghost Prison is actually a damaged ancient spiritual artifact. Since it’s a spiritual artifact, you won’t be able to break it with this kind of power.”
Ye Chen stopped punching. There was a huge pit below him, and traces of blood at the center of the pit.
“Then what can 1 do?”
Ping Canghai transformed into a shadowy figure and appeared in front of Ye Chen. As he had used some sort of technique, Xiang Chengdong could not see him at all.
Ping Canghai closed his eyes to sense the surroundings. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and said, “This is the entrance to the spiritual artifact, and the Ghost Prison has a great connection with this place. Do you still remember the girl next door?”
Ye Chen frowned.
Ping Canghai nodded.
“The blood essence of someone with her physique is extremely precious and powerful. If the girl uses her blood essence as a guide and then releases the power of her physique, coupled with the blood dragon in your body, you might be able to break the seal at the entrance and tear it apart.”
Ye Chen’s gaze was extremely calm as he asked, “Will it cause damage to her body?”
Ping Canghai only said, “If some prerequisites are fulfilled, then no. Take off the Earth Soul Mystical Stone around that girl’s neck. She’s not a cultivator, but 1 will use the power of a talisman to protect her, so there shouldn’t be any problems. Even if something goes wrong, I will direct the overflow to you and let you bear it.”
Hearing this, Ye Chen made up his mind and said, “Alright, 1’11 go look for her.”
“There’s no need to look for her. She’s already here,” Ping Canghai said calmly.
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed as he looked in a certain direction and noticed Wei Ying by the shore.
Fortunately, Wei Ying came from another direction and had not seen the corpses, but even so, Wei Ying was still shocked when she saw the lake dry up.
More importantly, someone had appeared from the bottom of the lake to fight Ye Chen!
She had been a realist since she was young, and thus only believed in science. Otherwise, she would not have become a teacher.
However, how could science explain everything she just saw?
“Ye Chen, you…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Ye Chen’s body leap forward more than ten meters and appear in front of her.
This was even scarier than jumping up from the tenth floor.
“What exactly is…”
Ye Chen hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “Wei Ying, I might need your help now.”
Wei Ying panicked. Given the fact that she now knew that Ye Chen was very powerful, she wondered…
Just how could she help?
“Ye Chen, tell me. If I can help, I’ll definitely help…”
“Come with me.”
Ye Chen pulled Wei Ying over to the deep pit.
“You should have seen something just now. 1 can’t explain it to you in detail now because your physique is a little special. However, 1 need your blood to help me open a door.”
“Then, 1 might have to take off the necklace around your neck. You might feel uncomfortable during this process, but I swear that there won’t be any danger,” Ye Chen said seriously.
Because Wei Ying had only come into contact with the ordinary world, it would be hard to explain the matters of the martials arts world to her.
Ye Chen wanted to say something else but Wei Ying shook her head and said with certainty, “Ye Chen, you don’t have to say anything else. You saved my mother’s and my life. Although 1 don’t understand what’s going on, I’m willing to help you no matter the price.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Ying took off her necklace.
Almost instantly, a powerful baleful aura swept out from her body, even to the point where the blood dragon in Ye Chen’s body seemed to be suppressed!
Five seconds later, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and an extremely cold aura erupted from Wei Ying’s body!
Xiang Chengdong was dumbfounded.
As the chairman of the Medicine Alliance, he was considered an experienced and knowledgeable expert, yet he had never seen such a phenomenon before!
He even felt that his blood was about to freeze, and he hurriedly retreated further away..
