Chapter 1699: Chapter 1688: Genius? Bullshit!
Dragon God Temple!
Inside the first room on the left side.
Chen Yuanhan from the Wind Thunder Sect, Jiang Yutang from Sword Feather Villa, and Shi Tianning from Star Cloud Sect all had their hands and feet in a terrible state, but fortunately, they were the geniuses of their respective sects. This time, entering the Dragon Origin Secret Realm, they had plenty of sacred healing medicine.
After consuming the healing medicine, the wounds on Chen Yuanhan and the others’ bodies had healed considerably, and the toxins from the explosive body fluid had mostly been cleared, since they hadn’t been submerged in the fluid for a full five minutes.
Now, the three only suffered minor injuries internally, but their appearances were extremely disheveled. Their expressions had become grim, as they had painstakingly broken through the barrier outside the temple, intending to gain some fortune inside.
Who knew they would gain nothing but lose all their disciples, and even they were almost killed, leaving them increasingly frustrated.
After sitting on the ground to meditate for a moment, Chen Yuanhan stood up unwillingly and said, "Since we’re already here, let’s go check out other places!"
Upon hearing Chen Yuanhan’s words, Jiang Yutang and Shi Tianning also stood up from the ground and walked out of the first room together, entering the second room.
However, all the benefits in the second room had also been taken by Ye Chenfeng. When Chen Yuanhan and others cautiously entered, all they found was an empty space. After studying it for a while, they found nothing special about the room.
Thus, the anger in Chen Yuanhan and the others grew stronger as they headed toward the second floor of the temple. Upon arriving, they saw paintings on the walls except for one spot, which reminded them of a painting hanging on a pillar in the main hall downstairs, twisting their expressions completely.
If Chen Yuanhan and others couldn’t guess they had been set up by someone by then, their brains would indeed be similar to pigs’.
Chen Yuanhan and others realized the painting on the pillar in the main hall downstairs was to draw their attention to the passage below.
Chen Yuanhan, as the top genius of the Earth Profound Realm, had never been schemed against. His palm clenched into a fist, his teeth gritting, and a bone-chilling voice said, "There’s no need to waste time here, it’s clearly been looted already. There’s no way anyone could have gotten into this temple before us, unless it was a trap set by someone who previously entered the Dragon Origin Secret Realm."
From entering the temple till now, Shi Tianning felt like a fool, his large body shaking slightly, and a creepy sound coming from his clenched fist.
The elder-appearing Jiang Yutang gritted his teeth and said, "Previously, I was wronged by that little bastard, and now we’re being messed with again in this temple. I can’t suppress my anger anymore. I must immediately find that little bastard and make him pay for my anger."
Chen Yuanhan and Shi Tianning were so angry they could explode, thinking the same as Jiang Yutang. Previously, Ye Chenfeng had made them kneel, and now it was time to settle everything.
If Chen Yuanhan and the others knew Ye Chenfeng set all these traps, they wouldn’t just be furious; they might even cough up blood in rage.
Since they confirmed the temple had been looted, Chen Yuanhan and the others didn’t linger and headed downstairs.
As Chen Yuanhan and the others were about to leave the temple.
Outside the temple.
In a nearby river, Ye Chenfeng suddenly emerged from the water. Leaving the temple via the waterway was much more troublesome than entering because, when leaving, Ye Chenfeng found the resistance in the water had multiplied several times, requiring him to spend much more time to truly leave the temple.
Ye Chenfeng emerged from the river, with the golden mouse Xiao Jin circling his feet. Looking at the already opened temple door, a faint smile appeared on his lips. He wondered if Chen Yuanhan and the others had stepped into the two traps he set.
Just as Ye Chenfeng was deep in thought, three figures walked out of the temple. These three were Chen Yuanhan, Jiang Yutang, and Shi Tianning.
As Chen Yuanhan and the others stepped out, their eyes met Ye Chenfeng’s, and after a brief moment of surprise, their anger erupted uncontrollably.
Jiang Yutang, especially furious with Ye Chenfeng, blamed him for his current elderly appearance. Previously, to counter Ye Chenfeng’s tenth-level Unyielding Sword Intent, Jiang Yutang had used the Blood Curse to create a blood-colored shield to save his life.
This blood-colored shield could block attacks many times stronger than his own, and using the Blood Curse, he could form it three times within twenty days. So, Jiang Yutang could still form the blood-colored shield twice more!
Without assessing Ye Chenfeng’s power, they assumed he was still at the peak of the Second Heavenly Layer in the Creation Realm, since Jiang Yutang and Shi Tianning had only recently separated from him.
They wouldn’t consider Ye Chenfeng connected to the temple’s traps.
Jiang Yutang, looking incredibly old, was the first to react. His Creation Realm Fourth Heavenly Layer peak aura welled up, spiritual energy surged beneath him, and he swiftly charged towards Ye Chenfeng.
Seeing Jiang Yutang move swiftly, Chen Yuanhan hastily reminded, "Don’t kill that little beast too quickly; don’t let him die so easily."
Chen Yuanhan believed that Jiang Yutang only had to use the Blood Curse because he underestimated Ye Chenfeng earlier. But now, Jiang Yutang wouldn’t make the same mistake, especially with the blood-colored shield’s help, so Chen Yuanhan believed Jiang Yutang had the power to kill Ye Chenfeng.
Shi Tianning said displeased, "I think with Jiang Yutang’s anger towards this little brat, he might just tear him to pieces."
Chen Yuanhan and Shi Tianning quickly followed Jiang Yutang, eager to vent their anger.
Jiang Yutang wielded a white longsword, a cold sneer forming at the corner of his mouth, and he shouted, "Little bastard, you dare to covet the temple’s treasures? Let me tell you, there’s nothing in the temple for you. You’ve come in vain, and this behavior will cost you your life."
Ye Chenfeng merely smiled in response. Seeing Jiang Yutang charging ahead, he unhesitatingly drew the Qingyun Sword on his back. Now, with his power at the middle stage of the Creation Realm Fourth Heavenly Layer, he felt confident facing Jiang Yutang and the others.
Ye Chenfeng hadn’t anticipated Chen Yuanhan, Jiang Yutang, and Shi Tianning actually survived his traps. They indeed earned the title of the three major sects’ geniuses.
Ye Chenfeng channeled the Spiritual Qi River through his meridians.
The aura of the middle stage of the Creation Realm Fourth Heavenly Layer surged skyward.
In an instant, this aura was revealed.
Their footsteps slightly paused when Jiang Yutang and others finally realized Ye Chenfeng’s power had broken through again, reaching the middle stage of the Creation Realm Fourth Heavenly Layer?
Impossible, right?
Ye Chenfeng’s combat strength was formidable even at the Second Heavenly Layer peak. Now, stepping into the middle stage of the Fourth Heavenly Layer...
The foremost Shi Tianning cursed inwardly and quickly tried to form the blood-colored shield.
However.
The tenth-level Unyielding Sword Intent within Ye Chenfeng had long been activated as he swung the Qingyun Sword.
A massive brown sword qi slashed through.
Speed and power intensified.
Jiang Yutang couldn’t muster the blood-colored shield in time. The distance between him and Ye Chenfeng was too close, allowing only a desperate sidestep.
With a "shoo!" sound.
The massive brown sword qi sliced through the right side of Jiang Yutang’s body, instantly severing it, and he collapsed to the ground.
Ye Chenfeng stared playfully at Chen Yuanhan and Shi Tianning, coldly stating, "Geniuses? Bullshit! I’m here to trample on you so-called geniuses."
