Chapter 763 - 762: Lu Yishan
Chapter 763 - 762: Lu Yishan
The entire scene was deathly silent.
Within the vast expanse of White Bone Ridge, it was as quiet as the grave. All the powerful figures who had previously charged in with overwhelming momentum were left speechless. From the moment everyone decided to join forces against him to Ye Qingchen’s counterattack.
This scene happened in the blink of an eye.
However.
What happened in that brief moment was beyond all their imaginations. The conviction they had painstakingly built just now was almost instantly obliterated by Ye Qingchen.
Furthermore, there was an evil cultivator holding a spear formed by Yin Evil Qi, who, upon realizing Ye Qingchen was looking his way, found himself unable to attack nor retract his attack.
Forcing a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Too strong!"
At this moment.
This was the only thought remaining in everyone’s minds.
Indeed, at this time.
They had already begun to doubt whether they, despite their large numbers, were a match for Ye Qingchen!
"We won!"
Upon witnessing this scene, Zhao Dejin and others outside the White Bone Ridge couldn’t hold back their cheers any longer.
To them,
this battle was like a roller coaster ride.
First, it was Han Nuta and others who came with an overwhelming momentum, appearing unstoppable like a tiger preying across vast lands. Yet they were casually exterminated by Ye Qingchen. Then, the crowd was not convinced and wanted to gang up against him.
Instead, they were forcibly suppressed in a flash!
"Mr. Ye is indeed a being with Great Divine Techniques!" Zheng Jiuling’s face revealed a slight smile, "These rabble actually dared to covet Mr. Ye’s elixirs, really courting death!"
Upon hearing this, others also beamed with pride, feeling honored to be associated.
After all,
they had also done things for Ye Qingchen, and even if Ye Qingchen couldn’t leave the Valley of Life and Death, having such a backer, they could walk horizontally within the valley!
"With Mr. Ye’s power, he could easily dominate the entire Valley of Life and Death!"
Someone said.
Just as everyone was imagining themselves stationed like titans, suddenly a voice came from not far away: "Ye Qingchen can dominate the Valley of Life and Death? Who gave him this right?"
"Who?"
Everyone looked over sharply.
They saw atop the White Bone Ridge, at some point, a dignified middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes had appeared. He stood motionless, his back straight like a steel spear.
"Who are you to say such things?"
An evil cultivator stood up, dissatisfied, and shouted. Having witnessed Ye Qingchen’s ability to slay and push everything horizontally, their mentality had swelled to the utmost, and they cared about no one.
However, before the words could finish, Zheng Jiuling, standing beside, suddenly changed his expression and quickly covered the evil cultivator’s mouth.
But the man ignored it all, already taking a step forward, heading into White Bone Ridge.
"Who is he?"
The evil cultivator from earlier also realized something was wrong, noticing that not only Zheng Jiuling and Zhao Dejin, but everyone present had faces as pale as ghosts, their upper and lower teeth clattering involuntarily.
"He is Lu Yishan!"
Zheng Jiuling suppressed his inner fear and said in a deep voice.
"It’s him..."
The evil cultivator from earlier was instantly stunned upon hearing this. Immediately afterward, his whole body couldn’t help but tremble. This was an existence that had dominated the Valley of Life and Death for over two hundred years, undeniably the first person within the valley! Until Han Buxiu appeared, only then was he supplanted!
Unexpectedly.
He had also come!
For the elixir!
...
"Dong!" "Dong!" "Dong!"
For Zheng Jiuling and others.
Lu Yishan’s appearance was unheralded. But for the crowd within the valley, it was an extremely terrifying presence. It seemed like each seemingly casual step Lu Yishan took landed right upon everyone’s hearts!
"What is that?"
The crowd, still in a standoff with Ye Qingchen, was suddenly startled, looking toward the source of the sound. They saw a figure slowly approaching with hands behind his back. When first seen, he was still outside White Bone Ridge, but in just the blink of an eye, he had already stepped into the ridge.
Upon seeing him again, everyone was bewildered, then immediately showed an incredulous look:
"Lu Yishan!"
Immediately.
The entire scene was in an uproar.
Countless people watched with incredulous eyes as this sudden figure appeared.
Lu Yishan!
The original number one in the Valley of Life and Death, he ruled there for nearly two hundred years before being replaced by Han Buxiu. Yet even so, he remained an unshakeable giant within the Valley of Life and Death.
No one expected him to come!
"Why is he here?"
"Could it be... for the elixir as well?"
The crowd looked at him, their eyes widening in shock.
However, some glanced at Ye Qingchen with amused expressions, thinking mockingly, "Ye Qingchen, do you think that just suppressing us will allow you to keep the elixir safe?"
Indeed.
As soon as this thought arose, they saw Lu Yishan ignoring everyone else and looking directly at Ye Qingchen, saying, "You are Ye Qingchen, the one practicing alchemy within White Bone Ridge?"
"That’s right!" Ye Qingchen looked up slightly.
"What remarkable strength! With just the Human Immortal Second Layer, you can face many alone and leave so many unable to raise their heads. Such talent may even surpass Han Buxiu!"
Lu Yishan shook his head in disbelief, saying, "I really don’t understand what the upper echelons of Taotian Palace are thinking, sending geniuses like you one after another into the Valley of Life and Death!"
His gaze was both playful and appraising as he looked at Ye Qingchen.
By logic.
Whether it was Han Buxiu before or Ye Qingchen now, in any sect, they would be regarded as treasures by the leadership. How could they be inexplicably thrown into the Valley of Life and Death?
"You’re here to seize the elixir too?" Ye Qingchen asked coldly.
"That’s right!" Lu Yishan did not hide it at all, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding people as he said indifferently, "But I’m not like this group of worthless fools, getting scared by a young brat like you!"
The many strong individuals present couldn’t help but show a trace of shame and anger, but they dared not speak out.
For no other reason.
Because Lu Yishan was simply too powerful!
Even though he had been defeated by Han Buxiu, his intimidating presence remained. After all, Lu Yishan’s record of ruling the Valley of Life and Death for over two hundred years is no joke!
"Oh, really?"
Ye Qingchen clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly.
"You may be physically formidable, surpassing Li Wenchuan. Your swordsmanship is superb, surpassing Ye Yulong. Your divine techniques are unparalleled, instantly killing Tang Lin’Er. You even excel in alchemy and array techniques, which is rare!"
"But that does not mean you can contend with me!"
"Ye Qingchen, hand over the elixir, or don’t blame me for bullying the weak!"
Lu Yishan’s gaze fixed on him, his imposing manner not held back at all, overwhelming Ye Qingchen.
Boom!
As this aura manifested, every strong person in the mountain trembled uncontrollably, directing their gaze towards Ye Qingchen. Some even laughed maniacally in their hearts:
"Haha, let’s see how he handles this! This arrogant brat was so insolent before, now that Lu Yishan is here, let’s see what he does!"
Lu Yishan!
Though.
He was once defeated by Han Buxiu, but his strength is beyond question.
"Is this the aura of a Human Immortal Sixth Layer?" Ye Qingchen raised an eyebrow. Of course, this was merely the strength Lu Yishan displayed at the moment. Judging by the intensity of his aura, before being cast into the Valley of Life and Death, he may have been a mighty practitioner of Human Immortal Eighth or even Ninth Layer!
Yet the shortage of Spiritual Qi in the Valley of Life and Death made it impossible for him to maintain such a high realm.
But what should Ye Qingchen fear?
"Good, good, good!" He laughed wildly, coldly retorting, "If you still maintained your peak cultivation, perhaps seeing you, I might give way. But with just your broken form, how could you make me bow?"
"Since Han Buxiu couldn’t kill you three years ago, let me finish the task today!"
The crowd listened in astonishment.
Everyone regarded Ye Qingchen with the look of assessing a madman. To actively provoke Lu Yishan? This wasn’t just arrogance; it was sheer suicide!
Indeed.
As soon as the crowd’s thoughts emerged, Lu Yishan’s face darkened, harshly stating:
"You’re courting death!"
With a grasp of his large hand, the overwhelming momentum descended like a landslide, all-encompassing toward Ye Qingchen. As he waved his hand, the five fingers crushed down, surging forth oppressively.
Before the palm even landed, the immense power had already descended fiercely, causing White Bone Ridge to creak under pressure. Countless steep peaks crumbled as if destroyed effortlessly.
Years of accumulated bones instantly turned to dust, completely disintegrating.
What defines Lu Yishan?
He possesses the might to move mountains and overturn seas!
This former top powerhouse of the Valley of Life and Death finally made his move. And with his first strike, it was an overwhelmingly powerful one, leaving no room for Ye Qingchen to retreat!
