Chapter 569: You've Got Something, But Not Much

Above the desolate mountain forest, Yu Sanqiu stood upon the void. His slightly graying hair danced in the wind, and his entire being emanated an unrivaled, powerful might.

Anyone who saw him at this moment would feel immense pressure, as if gazing upon an invincible god!

The countless factions nearby, the towns and markets in the distance, and even the Cultivators in the far-off Lieyang City all felt his oppressive aura at this moment!

Countless Cultivators looked up in Yu Sanqiu’s direction, their hearts trembling.

‘Just what kind of powerful entity has descended upon the Black Triangle?’

“In my current state, I could fight even a true Divine Might Realm expert to a standstill!”

“Watch as I crush you with a flip of my hand!”

Yu Sanqiu spoke calmly. He raised his hand, and immense Spiritual Power gathered in his palm, forming a massive Palm Seal. The Palm Seal shone with a brilliant divine light, as heavy as a mountain. Like a majestic, primordial Divine Mountain, it smashed down from the void.

The expressions of everyone from the Huo family changed. They felt as if it had become difficult to breathe.

The Yu Sanqiu of this moment was simply too powerful!

Perhaps it was as he said—not even a Great Power of the Divine Might Realm could do anything to him now!

A rare, solemn look appeared on Ye Chen’s face as well.

Before, he could have afforded to disregard Yu Sanqiu.

But the Yu Sanqiu before him now posed a great threat.

As the Palm Seal was about to strike, Ye Chen crossed his arms in front of him. A phantom of a True Dragon appeared behind him, its vast, ancient aura spreading out. He was channeling the power of the True Dragon Jade Emperor Scripture almost to its absolute limit.

Of course, this “absolute limit” was only Ye Chen’s current limit.

If he were to recover to his Peak, Ye Chen could suppress a Divine Might Realm expert with his physical body alone, let alone deal with Yu Sanqiu.

“BOOM!”

Following a deafening roar that echoed between heaven and earth, Ye Chen’s figure was sent flying backward. The terrifying Power of the Forbidden Array swirled around him, continuously corroding his body.

“Young Master Ye!”

Huo Susu’s expression changed as she cried out in alarm.

Huo Wuji and the others were also shocked. They hadn’t expected that Ye Chen, who had seemed to hold a winning hand just moments ago, would be at a disadvantage in the blink of an eye.

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, barely managing to steady himself.

His arms were numb. That nearly unstoppable blow had made every muscle in his body ache.

“Fellow Daoist Ye, what did you think of my attack?”

Yu Sanqiu stood with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face and a faint trace of contempt in his eyes.

Beside him, Xiao Long and Qiu Chenfeng arrived. Seeing that Ye Chen was no match for the current Yu Sanqiu, they finally relaxed.

“It was something, but not much,” Ye Chen replied coolly.

“Oh?”

Yu Sanqiu raised an eyebrow. “It seems I haven’t been satisfactory enough for Fellow Daoist Ye.”

“You think too highly of yourself,” Ye Chen said with a small smile.

“…”

The smile on Yu Sanqiu’s face slowly vanished. His gaze turned grim, filled with a cold killing intent.

“Then let me see how many moves you can withstand!”

He was enraged by Ye Chen’s words, his pride trampled!

Yu Sanqiu took a single step, appearing before Ye Chen in an instant.

He attacked in a rage, his might exceptionally terrifying, as if he could overturn the heavens and crush the sky!

Ye Chen’s expression remained unchanged as he struck out at Yu Sanqiu.

But Yu Sanqiu’s figure didn’t move an inch, while Ye Chen was forced back into the air by the recoil.

A glint flashed in Yu Sanqiu’s eyes. He instantly pursued him like a maggot clinging to a bone, unleashing a fierce offensive that completely overwhelmed Ye Chen.

“BOOM!”

A beam of Spiritual Power shot out from the Forbidden Array above, landing heavily on Ye Chen’s back.

Ye Chen was already having a hard time dealing with Yu Sanqiu. Caught off guard by the sneak attack, he had no time to dodge and was sent flying, coughing up blood, his face pale.

Empowered by the Yu family’s Forbidden Array, Yu Sanqiu’s combat strength had undoubtedly reached a terrifying level.

Not only had his cultivation level skyrocketed, but he could also use his Divine Soul to control the Forbidden Array and launch sneak attacks on Ye Chen!

At this moment, Ye Chen was like a small boat in a raging storm, teetering on the verge of sinking.

“This is bad!”

“Fellow Daoist Ye is in danger! We can’t just stand by and watch!”

Because Ye Chen had intercepted Yu Sanqiu and his cohorts, Huo Wuji had been able to recover some of his complexion through healing.

His expression was tense as he spoke urgently.

Beside him, the experts of the Huo family were also on high alert, ready to strike at any moment!

But Xiao Long and Qiu Chenfeng’s figures had appeared before them at some unknown point.

“Thinking of making a move?”

“Why don’t you exchange a couple of moves with me first?”

Xiao Long spoke in a gruff voice, his meteor hammer emanating a monstrous Evil Qi that was utterly terrifying.

Qiu Chenfeng didn’t speak, merely hovering silently in the air.

But if they wanted to intervene and save Ye Chen, they would undoubtedly have to get past him first!

“Now this is troublesome…”

Huo Wuji’s face was grim.

Huo Susu’s delicate brows were knitted together, her fair hands tightly gripping the corners of her clothes.

Faced with two Divinity Transformation Realm experts blocking their way, even if they could gain the upper hand by combining their strength, they wouldn’t be able to save Ye Chen in time.

‘Can we only watch helplessly as Ye Chen is bullied to death by Yu Sanqiu?’

For a moment, everyone from the Huo family felt incredibly stifled and frustrated.

Xiao Long and Qiu Chenfeng watched this scene, unhurried.

There were only two of them at the moment; they didn’t need to fight the Huo family to the death, just hold them back.

Once Ye Chen was suppressed, Yu Sanqiu would naturally be able to come and support them.

That would be the perfect time for a bloodbath at the Huo family’s expense!

“It seems the Huo family is a little too tied up to help you.”

“Are you feeling very helpless right now?”

Yu Sanqiu’s majestic power surged, shaking heaven and earth.

He looked down on Ye Chen from high above, his eyes filled with a thick, playful amusement.

“The poor number one genius of Dongxuan Province, fated to perish here today. What a pity,” he sighed with feigned sympathy.

But Ye Chen just frowned impatiently. “You really talk a lot of nonsense.”

At this moment, he was covered in blood, his aura fluctuating unstably. He looked to be in terrible condition.

Yet, there wasn’t the slightest trace of fear on his face, as if he didn’t care about life or death at all.

“…”

“Since you’re in such a hurry to die, I’ll be happy to oblige.”

Yu Sanqiu snorted coldly. He was somewhat disappointed that even now, he hadn’t gotten to see Ye Chen begging pitifully for his life.

“BOOM!”

A powerful torrent of Spiritual Power surged across the sky, emitting a monstrous might.

Driven by Yu Sanqiu, the torrent of Spiritual Power was about to bury Ye Chen.

Huo Wuji and the others’ expressions changed drastically. They wanted to intervene and save him but were blocked by Xiao Long and Qiu Chenfeng.

At this critical, hair-raising moment, a brilliant golden light suddenly burst forth, blocking the torrent of Spiritual Power in front of Ye Chen.
