Chapter 410: What Happened (Part 1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the experts from the Martial Arts Department saw this, their expressions changed drastically.
They had wanted to take down the two girls to restrain Ye Chen, but had not expected that before they could even make their move, the two cultivators that they were counting on to deal with Ye Chen had fallen!
They did not even last three seconds against Ye Chen!
Just how strong was Ye Chen?!
However, they still continued their charge toward Bai Libing and Zhu Ya, who were their only hope for survival. Before they reached their targets, a cold and arrogant figure descended from the sky, staring daggers at them.
They stopped in their tracks, and their bodies stiffened up.
If Ye Chen could even kill three cultivators from the Broken Soul Sect, then they were sitting ducks.
“Mr. Ye, please let us go!”
Plop!
The leader of the group, who was one of Zheng Renjue’s men, knelt down and begged for mercy.
However, Ye Chen had already moved!
Vaguely, these experts only saw a shadow flash past them, but everywhere that shadow passed, there was blood!
At this moment, Ye Chen was single-handedly decimating the group, harvesting their lives like the Grim Reaper!
They did not even have the chance to scream or beg for mercy.
After some time, the forest became extremely quiet.
Bai Libing was dumbfounded. She knew that Ye Chen was strong, but she had not expected him to be this strong. He almost seemed to be as strong as those experts from the top families!
How had he gotten so strong so quickly?
While Bai Libing was still in shock, Ye Chen had already returned to his original spot. He then said to Zhu Ya and Bai Libing, “Let’s go. Both of you must follow closely behind me. Don’t stray more than ten meters away from me.”
“Yes, Mr. Ye…” Bai Libing even changed the way she addressed him.
Zhu Ya did not say anything, but silently walked over to Ye Chen’s side. No matter what, being by Ye Chen’s side always gave her a sense of security.
Ye Chen then ventured deeper into the Qinling Mountains, vigilant and alert the entire time.
The scent of blood as he got deeper was getting stronger, and he could tell that at least a thousand people had died here.
Who would have thought that such a thing would happen in the depths of the Qinling Mountains?
Along the way, they saw corpses and traces of fighting everywhere. There were weapons strewn on the ground, both traditional and modern.
“Mr. Ye, do you know why Huaxia’s Martial Arts Department is acting like this? They should have come to rescue the Iron-Blooded Camp and my dad instead, right?” Bai Libing asked curiously.
Ye Chen picked up a sword from the ground and glanced at it as he replied, “Sometimes, personal interests and greed can make others betray us, and even betray the country. This is the root of human nature.”
“It’s not limited to only Zheng Renjue. From now on, don’t trust anyone except your father.”
Bai Libing nodded and said nothing more.
Zhu Ya also picked up a few scrapped weapons and looked at them carefully. When her fingers touched them, a trace of blood seeped out.
She quickly grabbed Ye Chen’s hand and said in surprise, “Mr. Ye, this is a fragment of a spiritual artifact. Its grade isn’t low, but it actually shattered. As far as I know, there are very few powerhouses in Huaxia’s martial arts world who can do this. What exactly happened here?”
The ancestors of the Zhu family were all swordsmiths. In this aspect, she knew more than others.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes as he thought about it. After a while, he said, “If you want to know what happened here, it’s very simple.”
When Zhu Ya heard this, she frowned.
“Mr. Ye, there are no cameras here, and no survivors. How can we possibly find out?”
Ye Chen held the fragment in his hand and said, “Just watch.”
After saying that, Ye Chen sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.
This made Zhu Ya and Bai Libing even more suspicious.
What was Mr. Ye trying to do? Cultivate?
Seconds later, Ye Chen’s fingers formed a seal and danced gently in the air as he drew a talisman. After studying the Dao of Spiritual Talismans, it had become easier for him to use certain seal techniques, and they had become more powerful too.
A strange rune appeared in the air in front of him.
He released his hand, and the fragment he had been holding floated up, sticking close to the rune.
Great Dao Searching technique!
Ye Chen continuously chanted. As he spoke faster and faster, the rune and fragment in front of him began to float!
The very next second, it burned with green flames!
“Now!”
Ye Chen bit his finger and shot out a drop of his blood essence! When the blood essence collided with the flames, they ignited hotter and brighter!
At this moment, an image projection actually formed in the sky.
On the screen, a square-faced middle-aged man stood at the center, and beside him were 20 experts in combat uniforms.
There were insignias engraved on the chest of the combat uniforms, on which was written, ‘Iron-Blooded Camp.’
Bai Libing looked at the scene in front of her in shock and surprise. She subconsciously covered her mouth as she exclaimed, “Dad!”
Her eyes turned red, and she even started to shed tears.
Meanwhile, Zhu Ya’s heart was trembling, and her mouth was agape as she stared at Ye Chen in shock.
She knew a lot about Huaxia’s martial arts world, but had never heard of such a technique. It was magical and far beyond her scope of understanding!
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, yet none of them could explain the phenomenon happening in front of her.
Ye Chen’s eyes were glued to the screen.
In the picture, Bai Lixiong and the twenty members of Iron-Blooded Camp were surrounded by a group of experts. They were in danger!
Zheng Renjue was also among them!
However, Bai Lixiong did not even frown as he held the large saber in his hand aloft.
His cold killing intent was released as he stared at Zheng Renjue and said angrily, “Zheng Renjue, has Huaxia ever mistreated you? Have you forgotten who gave you the blood flowing through your body?”
Zheng Renjue’s eyes were indifferent as he placed his hands behind his back and said, “Bai Lixiong, the matter of Qinling’s dragon vein is not something you can interfere with! As long as you cripple your cultivation and let my people erase your memories, I can allow you to live! Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, do you think you still have a chance of winning against so many people?”
Bai Lixiong laughed out loud, his violent voice resounding through the air, “Even if I die in battle, I will die for Huaxia! The blood I shed is worthy of my country and my children! As for you, Zheng Renjue, if you somehow survive, you will live out your days in ignominy!”
“Iron-Blooded Camp, do you dare to fight your way out?”
“We dare!”
Waves of roars resounded through the forest as a bloodthirsty battle commenced!
On the screen, Bai Lixiong was weaving through the battlefield, death and destruction following in his wake.
Blood, severed limbs, death, and coldness permeated the battlefield!
