Chapter 41 Despicable and shameless? No, I'm just more pragmatic!
Attracted by the violent shouts of the sword-browed man, the surrounding warriors who came to take the assessment looked at the two men.
"What's going on?"
"Someone dares to provoke Ye Chen!!!"
"Don't he know that Ye Chen just defeated Bai Huan, who is at the ninth level of the Vajra Realm, outside the city gate yesterday?"
"Challenge a would-be kendo master in public?"
"He looks tall, straight, and mighty, but it's a pity that he's a fool."
Listening to the tide of mocking words around him, the sword-browed man's expression became darker and darker.
The expressions of those powerful people from Yuanzhou who knew the true identity of the sword-browed man all changed.
Who is this person in front of me?
Qu Wuyou!
It is said that this son was born with spiritual bones and extraordinary talents.
He was admitted into the martial arts pavilion by the Bai family at the age of ten. He was already at the peak of his career before he was twenty years old.
Among the young masters of the Bai Family Martial Arts Pavilion, he is ranked among the top three.
He even gained recognition from Bai Hanming, the head of the Bai family, and was given the "Bai surname".
Precisely because of this, Qu Wuyou regarded the word "Bai Family" as more important than his own life.
"Although I had long expected that Bai Huan would be defeated at Ye Chen's hands, those rumors would definitely have a certain impact on Qu Wuyou, but I didn't expect that the impact would be so great."
"Anyway, it's not a wise move for Qu Wuyou to provoke Ye Chen in such a big way!!!"
"If this exposes our identity and affects our plan to enter the ancient ruins to hunt for treasure, wouldn't it be..."
Thinking of the key point, the powerful families in Yuanzhou present sent messages to warn him.
"Brother Qu, don't be reckless, always put the big plan first."
"Anyway, Ye Chen will enter the ancient ruins sooner or later. How will Brother Qu want to deal with him then? Isn't it a matter of catching him?"
"Presumably the head of the Bai family doesn't want to hear that Brother Qu caused some flaws in the plan to hunt for treasure in the ruins because of a mere Ye Chen!"
Listening to the sound transmission that kept ringing in his ears, Qu Wuyou gritted his teeth, but reason forced him to calm down.
"Ye Chen, don't let me meet you in the ruins, otherwise..."
"What else? You can still bite me!" Ye Chen threw a contemptuous look and turned around, leading Shi Zhongtian and others to the ninth princess Tuoba Yunyan silently.
Ye Chen's operation completely stunned Tuoba Yunyan.
In her impression, Ye Chen had a temper that would get angry whenever he disagreed.
If anyone provokes him, he will go up and fight to the end without saying a word.
The previous fight with Bai Huan at the entrance of the State Guesthouse is a good example!!!
According to Ye Chen's usual style, at this time, shouldn't he rush forward, draw his sword, and then shout: "I'll kill you?"
But this girl actually stood beside Tuoba Yunyan calmly?
"What does this mean? With the help of me, Commander Lan, and the might of the Tiance Army?"
Feeling Tuoba Yunyan's gaze, Ye Chen spread his hands.
"Please, I have a strong temper, but I'm not stupid! You can tell at a glance that that guy's strength is several levels higher than mine. Do you think I'm an idiot if I go up to fight him at this time?"
Hearing this, Tuoba Yunyan couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
On the other hand, Commander Lan Yu on the side had a light in his eyes that said, "Thanks to you, you are indeed shameless."
However, Ye Chen didn't care about this at all: "After all, we are all in the same camp now. It's not too much to help each other a little, right?"
At this moment, Tuoba Yunyan truly understood why her father said that Ye Chen was a man with a sharp mind and could always make the right choice at the right time.
Although this choice sometimes seems very shameless!!!
"Look, the ancient formation has opened." With just a flash of God's skill, a gap suddenly opened between the originally towering mountain peaks.
"Hurry up and put on the jade pendant and enter the ruins with us." Tuoba Yunyan said as he led the Jade Blue Guards behind him and the Tiance Army towards the crack in the mountain peak.
Ye Chen's movements were not slow at all.
Once a warrior enters the Sea of Qi realm, he can force the true energy in his body to temporarily float into the air.
However, if you want to truly achieve flying in the air, you still have to achieve the perfect fusion of the Vajra-level physical body and Gang Qi, and condense the golden body.
"Sure enough!!!" Ye Chen just rushed into the crack with a jade pendant in hand, and then appeared in an empty hall.
According to the information Ye Chen learned from the Ninth Princess Tuoba Yunyan, this ancient formation connected a total of three entrances to the ruins.
Once inside, which entrance you are teleported to is completely random.
As he watched, more and more warriors appeared around Ye Chen, but Ye Chen never saw Shi Zhongtian and the others.
"It seems that they should have been teleported to the other two entrances." Ye Chen was about to walk towards the passage opposite the main hall.
Suddenly, a figure appeared not far in front of Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen, it's you???" The figure who suddenly appeared not far from Ye Chen was none other than Qu Wuyou, who was furious with Ye Chen outside the formation before.
At this moment, Qu Wuyou's eyes were fixed on Ye Chen, and the excitement in his eyes had reached its peak.
"It's true that if you don't take the road to heaven, there is no way to break in to hell. Boy, I'm going to let you know today..."
"Boom!!!" Before Qu Wuyou could finish his words, Ye Chen had already taken out the Black Meteor Sword and slashed at Qu Wuyou's body with the "Instant Sword" move.
"If you want to fight, fight, there is so much nonsense! The villain dies because he talks too much, don't you know???"
Even though Qu Wuyou activated his body-protecting treasure in time, the clothes on his body were still washed into rags by the strong sword energy emitted by the "Instant Sword".
At first glance, he looks like a beggar begging on the street.
Extremely embarrassed!!!
Where is the trace of the heroic and extraordinary temperament from before?
"Ye Chen, how dare you sneak attack me?" Qu Wuyou's face was twisted and extremely angry.
However, before he could explode again, Ye Chen had already put away the Black Meteor Sword and rushed into the hall passage on the side.
The scene in front of him made Qu Wuyou confused.
What is this?
Run away after a sneak attack???
The surrounding warriors who thought there would be a big battle between the two sides looked at each other in confusion.
Obviously, no one expected that Ye Chen would perform such an operation.
"ah!!!"
"Ye Chen, I will never let you go." Finally, Qu Wuyou came to his senses, let out a heart-rending roar, and chased after Ye Chen in the direction where he disappeared.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Qu Wuyou rushed into the tunnel, the surrounding scenery suddenly started to spin.
"Is this...an illusion?" Qu Wuyou's face turned pale with shock, and his whole body suddenly appeared in the center of a piece of red-hot magma.
Obviously, someone has arranged a very powerful illusion array in the tunnel.
Even a warrior at the peak of Dao Realm like him fell into the illusion without even realizing it.
"Damn it, I almost forgot, this is the cave where a first-grade warrior practiced during his lifetime!"
The scene in front of him was like a bucket of cold water being poured over his head, causing Qu Wuyou's mind, which was overwhelmed by anger, to calm down instantly.
A first-grade warrior is almost a legendary existence in the Tiancang world.
Even though Qu Wuyou has reached his peak at a young age!
But in front of a first-grade warrior, he is still as small as an ant.
What's more, he is still in a state of sealing most of his strength.
However, while Qu Wuyou was thinking hard about how to break the formation, Ye Chen, who rushed into the passage first, was also trapped in an illusion.
However, the illusion that appeared in front of Ye Chen was different from Qu Wuyou's. It was an endless desert with wild winds.
"Is it an illusion?" Ye Chen frowned slightly and waved his long sleeves, and the flame-weaver insect with fire patterns on its back flew out of the black wooden box.
"Fortunately, I practiced some Gu skills before, and now they are of great use!!!"
Different from ordinary attack and defense arrays, the main function of the illusion array is to blind people's six senses and the warrior's perception, making people fall into illusion and unable to extricate themselves.
Gu insects are born with no six senses and rely entirely on instinct and the driving of the person who casts the vood.
As a result, Gu insects have become the nemesis of most illusion formations in the world.
In this way, Ye Chen, led by the Weaver Insect, headed southwest. After walking for about a cup of tea, Ye Chen suddenly felt that the scenery in front of him changed.
The surrounding yellow sand and strong wind suddenly disappeared!
When Ye Chen opened his eyes again, he had already appeared in the ruins passage.
He turned his head and glanced behind him, and saw hundreds of warriors in the passage, slowly moving forward in the phantom formation, with expressions on their faces constantly changing.
Among them, the one closest to Ye Chen was Qu Wuyou, who had chased him into the passage before.
"As expected of a high-level warrior, he can even break free from the illusion so much faster than ordinary warriors?"
The corner of Ye Chen's mouth curled up slightly, and large areas of magic patterns continued to appear on Ye Chen's body.
Facing a high-level warrior like Qu Wuyou who had sealed his cultivation, Ye Chen didn't dare to have the slightest contempt.
Although he didn't use the magic pattern with that sword just now, it was powerful enough to cut through the golden body of an ordinary Vajra realm warrior.
But Qu Wuyou, apart from looking more miserable, was actually unscathed?
It can be seen that ordinary attack methods cannot break through the opponent's defense!
"You're chasing me so hard, why don't I give you a gift?"
As soon as the magic pattern appeared, monstrous murderous intent suddenly burst out from Ye Chen's body. While the Black Meteor Sword in his hand buzzed, Ye Chen slashed out with the sword again.
A black sword light that shocked the heavens and the gods soared into the sky and went straight to kill Qu Wuyou.
But just when the sword light was about to hit Qu Wuyou, the surface of Qu Wuyou's body suddenly burst into bursts of dazzling blue light.
Immediately afterwards, a blue light and shadow like an umbrella appeared in front of Qu Wuyou without any warning, blocking the menacing black sword light in front of him.
When they were in the main hall before, Ye Chen's sword attack on Qu Wuyou was blocked by this strange blue light.
It's just that the blue light disappeared too quickly and there was no time to see clearly.
But now Ye Chen saw the blue umbrella shadow in front of him very clearly.
Different from Ye Chen, Qu Wuyou is a genuine peak powerhouse in the Dao Realm. Even if his cultivation level is sealed, the power of the true level magic weapon can still be fully exerted in his hands.
"It's a pity that you are in an illusion now. It would be great if the defense launched by the true-level treasure can exert two points of power."
The corners of Ye Chen's mouth curled up slightly, and at the same time, his arms covered with magic patterns clenched the Black Meteor Sword and struck out with the "Instant Sword" move.
After experiencing the previous automatic defense, the small true-level umbrella on Qu Wuyou's body was obviously exhausted. Facing Ye Chen's attack again, the blue umbrella shadow shattered inch by inch in just a few breaths.
Following a "puff~" Qu Wuyou's right arm flew out.
"Ah!!!" The pain in his heart made Qu Wuyou instantly get rid of the shackles of the illusion.
Seeing this, Ye Chen, who originally wanted to strike with a sword, turned around and ran away without hesitation.
Ye Chen is still very self-aware about his own strength.
Two full-force magic pattern attacks only broke through the small umbrella defense of the automatic protector. Even though Qu Wuyou had broken his arm, his strength still kept Ye Chen steady.
"A peak-level warrior with seal cultivation level is still so difficult to deal with. If we encounter a warrior at the Principle Source Realm, how can we deal with it?"
"Ye Chen, I, Qu Wuyou, swear that I will cut you into pieces in this lifetime!!!"
However, Ye Chen, who had already fled at this moment, did not know that because of his departure, the furious Qu Wuyou, who had broken his arm, exploded wildly in the passage, affecting countless warriors who entered the ruins.
Not only that, Qu Wuyou also made a blood oath in public that he would kill Ye Chen in this life.
Come to think of it, a dignified peak warrior was attacked by Ye Chen twice and even had an arm broken?
In the end, he didn’t even touch a single hair of Ye Chen!
If word of this gets out, how will Qu Wuyou have the nerve to hang out in the Tiancang world in the future?
…………
But at this moment, Ye Chen, who had already left, didn't bother to pay attention to this.
The two trials have given Ye Chen a clear understanding of the gap between him and Dao Realm warriors.
Even if the opponent has sealed most of his cultivation, his strength still cannot be underestimated.
"Strength, we must improve our strength as soon as possible!!!"
Qu Wuyou was only a master among the younger generation of the Bai family, and he had sealed most of his strength, so it was so difficult for Ye Chen to deal with him.
Ye Chen wants to snatch the child back from the Bai family?
You must become stronger!!!
While Ye Chen was thinking, he had already passed through the passage and came to a dense stone forest.
These stone forests are connected end to end, just like a huge natural maze.
Ye Chen wandered around the maze for a long time, but couldn't find the exit.
Just when Ye Chen was thinking about whether he should follow the same pattern and let the fireweavers disperse to find the exit of the stone forest.
Suddenly, a series of strange spatial fluctuations flashed behind a huge boulder ahead.
Before Ye Chen could even figure out what this weird spatial fluctuation was, two figures had already walked out of it.
"What a coincidence, we meet again!"
The moment he saw the two figures clearly, Ye Chen's expression suddenly turned solemn.
Even when facing Qu Wuyou, Ye Chen's mood had never been so heavy.
Because the two figures that suddenly appeared were none other than the mysterious young man in black robe and the old servant with white hair whom he met in the gambling house before.
Ever since last night, the white-haired old servant had a fight with three Principle Source Realm warriors from the Tianyuan Dynasty, and the two of them disappeared without a trace.
Even the Jade Blue Guards of the Tianyuan Dynasty could not trace their whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, the two of them entered the ancient ruins quietly.
"What? Are you here to hunt for treasures like the group of people outside?" Seeing that Ye Chen didn't speak, the black-robed young man smiled evilly: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, there is a very scary existence in this ruins for you.
!”
"A terrifying existence?" Ye Chen narrowed his eyes.
In just a blink of an eye, the young man in black robe was already standing side by side with Ye Chen.
He grinned and whispered into Ye Chen's ear: "If you really run into me, don't forget the gift I left for you. That thing might be able to save your life!"
The moment the words fell, the figure of the young man in black robe flashed again, and he disappeared from the place with the white-haired old servant.
"Young Ancestor, would you do this..." After following the black-robed boy out of the ancient ruins, the white-haired old servant couldn't help but ask.
"What are you afraid of? I didn't violate the agreement I made with those old guys, I just borrowed the little kid's hand." At this point, the smile on the corners of the black-robed young man's mouth grew bigger and bigger.
"After all, we are in a competitive relationship with them. If we can get rid of one or two before this catastrophe comes, it will be a happy thing, isn't it?"
