Ye Qingchen has won!
This news spread like a hurricane, swiftly shaking the entire Valley of Life and Death. Everyone deeply remembered the name of this young man:
Ye Qingchen!
He, personally suppressed by the master of Taotian Palace, exhibited strength beyond everyoneâs imagination. Even Lu Yishan, once ranked first, couldnât withstand three moves against him.
What kind of terrifying and formidable strength is this?
Those strongmen from the Valley of Life and Death, who initially intended to kill Ye Qingchen and seize the elixir, fled from White Bone Ridge hastily upon seeing even Lu Yishan dead. Not a single person dared provoke someone capable of obliterating Lu Yishan head-on.
"Itâs over!"
Inside White Bone Ridge.
Sensing the scared fleeing aura, Ye Qingchen, standing with his hands behind his back, slowly withdrew his divine thoughts and exhaled a deep breath.
Although.
It seemed effortless when he annihilated Lu Yishan in three moves, the consumption was quite significant. Only after reaching the Peak of Human Immortal Second Layer could he exhibit such prowess.
"If it werenât for the purpose of intimidating those outside, so they wouldnât dare step into White Bone Ridge, why take such risks?"
Ye Qingchen shook his head secretly.
One must understand.
The ones eyeing his batch of elixir this time werenât just those visible individuals. Plenty lurked in the shadows, yet to reveal themselves. How long would it take to kill them one by one, hence the use of such a consuming method?
Thinking this, he raised his hand to grab, and an elixir fell into his palm.
...
Corner of the Valley of Life and Death.
By the lakeside.
Han Buxiu sat cross-legged here. In the eyes of others, ever since he occupied this spot, he hasnât moved, like an ancient statue.
"It seems all of you have failed!"
Suddenly.
At a certain moment, Han Buxiu opened his eyes.
Crackle!
In the void, it was as if a lightning bolt flashed through, seemingly tearing through the air. Yet, no response sounded. But Han Buxiu paid no attention, murmuring:
"However, who gave you the courage to invade my territory?"
"Ye Qingchen is too strong!"
Finally.
Someone answered.
Around the lake, figures appeared one by one. If Ye Qingchen were here, he would surely recognize them as the evil cultivators who initially attacked him in White Bone Ridge.
However.
Now, they appeared here!
"Oh, how strong?"
Han Buxiu continued sitting, asking casually.
"Effortlessly killed Li Wenchuan, Tang LinâEr, Ye Yulong!" a man with red hair said solemnly.
He was known as Ancestor Liehuo.
In the Valley of Life and Death, he was considered a notable figure.
With Li Wenchuan, Tang LinâEr, and Ye Yulong fallen, he was the strongest among the group attacking Ye Qingchen back then. Now, he naturally represented everyone.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Han Buxiu raised an eyebrow, a hint of disdain appearing on his face, "Those three, I can also kill effortlessly, did they come here afraid after witnessing this?"
Three years ago.
When he first arrived in the Valley of Life and Death, the number of suppressed strongmen was nearly ten times todayâs. Now he had killed most, as for the likes of Li Wenchuan, he had killed countless three years ago!
"He also killed Lu Yishan!"
Ancestor Liehuo continued.
"Lu Yishan!" Han Buxiuâs pupils contracted.
As someone who dominated the Valley of Life and Death for over two hundred years, everyone knew Lu Yishanâs terrifying strength. Three years ago, Han Buxiu used all his divine techniques to defeat but not kill Lu Yishan!
But now, Ye Qingchen had killed him, and one could imagine how terrifying that power was!
"Indeed, and it only took three moves!" Ancestor Liehuo shuddered, "From start to finish, Lu Yishan didnât even have any chance to retaliate and was finally slain with a single sword strike!"
"How is it possible?"
Han Buxiu was shaken.
Crash!
Instantly, the calm giant lake before him erupted into waves of torrential fury, like a sea of rage.
Seeing this, Ancestor Liehuoâs pupils contracted.
Know this.
Since Han Buxiu sat here, he had been using this lake to temper his mind. This vast lake, tens of miles wide, had been as flat as a mirror, without the slightest ripple for three years.
Now it turned into a sea of fury, showing how tumultuous his heart was!
"Truly remarkable!" Han Buxiu nodded slightly, then asked indifferently, "But what does this have to do with you invading my territory?"
Ancestor Liehuo stared at Han Buxiuâs back, speaking solemnly:
"We once went to White Bone Ridge to besiege Ye Qingchen. Although he spared our lives, it doesnât mean he wonât settle accounts later. So, we want to borrow something from Mr. Han!"
"Borrow what?"
Han Buxiuâs voice suddenly turned icy.
"Borrow your head!" Ancestor Liehuo said solemnly, "If we take your head, Mr. Ye might forgive us."
It turns out.
These people came to hunt Han Buxiu.
They participated in the siege against Ye Qingchen, and though they survived by luck, after witnessing Ye Qingchenâs decisive killing of Lu Yishan, they wanted to hunt Han Buxiu to appease Ye Qingchen!
Swish!
As Ancestor Liehuo spoke, those hiding in the shadows, corners, and void revealed themselves, with countless breath-locking streams targeting Han Buxiu.
"Haha, you fear Ye Qingchen settling later, but arenât you afraid of me killing you?"
Han Buxiu shook his head slowly.
Ancestor Liehuo said gravely, "Three years ago, you used all your might to defeat Lu Yishan. But now, Mr. Ye killed him with only three moves. Naturally, weâre more afraid of Mr. Ye!"
No one expected, upon hearing this, Han Buxiuâs eyes showed even greater disdain:
"A bunch of fools!"
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Liehuoâs face changed drastically. Without hesitation, he shouted, "Han Buxiu, three years ago you massacred heads in the Valley of Life and Death!"
"Today is your death day!"
Suddenly.
The revealing strongmen did not hesitate, instantly erupting their vast cultivation, becoming fierce shadows charging at Han Buxiu!
Facing the onslaught, Han Buxiu remained seated.
He merely said faintly:
"Three years ago, I killed Lu Yishan, indeed exhausting my strength. But that was three years ago! Killing him now, I wouldnât even need to lift a finger!"
"Do you think, after sitting here for three years, I gained nothing?"
"Die!"
Boom!
In an instant.
Like Water God Gonggong issuing a decree.
The turbulent lake suddenly exploded, countless water droplets surged forth like a torrential downpour, piercing through bodies and transforming into blood-red pearls, striking a rocky cliff.
And then.
These water droplets lost their True Qi support, flowing out of the cliff, becoming streams of blood pouring into the lake. From a high viewpoint, it seemed a blood-red flower blossomed over the vast lake.
"Tell Ye Qingchen, as long as I guard this place, he shouldnât dream of leaving the Valley of Life and Death alive!"
After speaking.
He slowly closed his eyes.
In an instant.
The entire Valley of Life and Death trembled in horror!
