Chapter 1042 - 1041: Slapped Away with a Single Palm

Ye Qingchen's words caused the entire venue to fall into a dead silence.

Everyone was staring at him, dumbfounded. Nobody expected him to dare utter such words, to actually dare to publicly provoke the opponent! The previous Fiery Flame Fire Ape and that top-level Earth Immortal were just cautionary tales!

"Who is he? Doesn't he value his life!"

"Zou Tianchen isn't someone you can talk to easily. This kid is asking for trouble!"

"He must have a screw loose, wanting to show off!"

People around were whispering to each other.

Only Cai Kun, at first furrowing his brow in confusion, then suddenly took a deep breath and exclaimed, "It's him?"

The top-level Earth Immortals beside him all looked over and hurriedly asked, "Third Island Master, do you know him?"

Cai Kun nodded, and said in a low voice:

"The Celestial South Fierce God, Ye Qingchen! Didn't expect him to come! Indeed, he's a Demon King of Chaos who fears neither heaven nor earth, challenging Zou Tianchen right away."

However, before the crowd could express their surprise, someone from Cyan Cloud Island jumped out and unceremoniously scolded, "Kid, what are you, to dare speak to the Young Master like this?"

"What qualifications does the Young Master have that it's for you, some wild kid, to comment on?"

"If you don't want to die, hurry up and get lost! Otherwise, we'll make you wish you were dead!"

Many people from Cyan Cloud Island looked over with cold smiles, eyeing Ye Qingchen as if he were already dead. With Cyan Cloud Island's power, Zou Tianchen could practically walk around Star Gathering Scattered Island unhindered.

Even if they level some small islands, no one would dare say a word.

"Oh, is that so?"

Ye Qingchen paid them no mind, only gazing at Zou Tianchen with a faint smile.

"Is this island yours? What qualifications do you have to make others leave?"

"If you leave now, I might consider sparing your lives!"

Zou Tianchen's face darkened upon hearing this; it had been a long time since anyone dared speak to him like this.

"Kid, are you looking to die?" the previous Earth Immortal asked, eyes narrowing, "Daring to speak to the Young Master this way, first kneel before me..."

Boom!

Before the words finished, he had already made an arrow-like leap, suddenly dashing to Ye Qingchen's side, grasped with both hands, and like a Yellow Turban Warrior with a Thousand-Pound Hammer, fiercely struck down.

At that moment, everyone looked pityingly at Ye Qingchen.

The Earth Immortal making a move was named Hu Zhicheng, and although not as formidable as Elder Yun, he was quite powerful; otherwise, how would he qualify to follow beside Zou Tianchen? With this punch, even the island would tremble.

Let alone this kid?

"Noisy!"

No one could have predicted that Ye Qingchen stood there, slightly frowning, then gently waved his hand.

Bang!

A powerful force surged directly from his palm.

The void in front of him exploded on the spot, followed by the ground shattering into fragments. This surging mighty force, like an overwhelming floodwater, poured out from Ye Qingchen's front, crushing everything in its path, finally crashing into the valley's end.

Under this unstoppable giant force, Hu Zhicheng was the first to bear the brunt, being blasted to smithereens on the spot.

The entire venue fell into a dead silence.

No one thought that Ye Qingchen would act so decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

Striking a dog without regarding its master? This kid touched the people of Cyan Cloud Island, equivalent to forming a deadly enmity with Cyan Cloud Island. Only blood could repay this path!

Only Elder Yun's pupils contracted.

He could feel the power of Ye Qingchen's palm, already not inferior to a top-level Earth Immortal. When did Star Gathering Scattered Island produce such a powerful figure, and so young?

People from Cyan Cloud Island had faces darkened and were facing a formidable enemy, drawing weapons, looking at Ye Qingchen with vigilant gazes.

Ye Qingchen completely ignored them, instead looking at Zou Tianchen with indifferent eyes:

"Either leave or die!"

To others, they might fear the power behind Zou Tianchen, but Ye Qingchen didn't care at all. He had taken Yu Mountain Island by force, and these people came to the island to kill and seize his Red Flame Fruit; why should he be merciful?

"What are you, to dare speak to me like this?"

Zou Tianchen's gaze turned cold.

Since his father had started to faintly become the underground leader of Star Gathering Scattered Island, with the potential to unify the island, not many dared provoke him like this. This young man's cultivation was strong, aura extraordinary; clearly not a fish raised in the small pond that was Star Gathering Scattered Island.

But so what?

"I've seen many like you!"

"Thinking a few tricks make them wanton!"

However, before the voice fell, Ye Qingchen took one step, appearing to shrink the earth by the inch, directly flashing in front of Zou Tianchen. With a light raise of his hand, he already had Zou Tianchen lifted off the ground.

"Stop!"

"Put down the Young Master!"

"You're seeking death!"

Ye Qingchen's move was like stirring a hornet's nest. The entire valley boiled over, countless Cyan Cloud Island cultivators, erupting True Qi, transforming into rapidly streaking light, blasting forward!

"Courting death!"

Ye Qingchen snorted coldly, drawing two fingers through the air.

A sword light immediately enveloped several hundred zhang, encompassing all who charged to attack. Amidst flying blood, these cultivators were severed at the waist, limbs flying about.

In this instant, none could breach within a hundred zhang of him.

However, there was one exception.

Clang!

A streaking light suddenly broke through the vast sword Qi. The sword Qi, capable of splitting gold and jade, collided with this figure and emitted a clashing sound like metal and stone.

An elderly figure suddenly rushed within a hundred zhang of Ye Qingchen.

"Elder Yun!"

Zou Tianchen was visibly delighted.

"Release the Young Master!"

Elder Yun roared in anger, his Qi Blood skyrocketing by threefold, with a charging momentum several times stronger than when he previously eliminated the Fiery Flame Fire Ape. In an instant, he had charged to Ye Qingchen, striking fiercely with a punch.

This punch was like a dragon soaring, as if the powers of the vast mountains and rivers gathered in it. Like the Giant Spirit God lifting Wangwu Mountain and slamming it down, the momentum exceeded everyone's expectations.

Even from afar, all present could feel the terrifying force contained within the punch's strength!

"Can it be stopped?"

Everyone quickly looked over.

"Elder Yun, save me!"

Seeing the elder make a move.

Zou Tianchen's eyes showed a trace of joy.

With Elder Yun's cultivation and strength, once he acted, he could vanquish this lawless youth in an instant. But the moment this trace of joy appeared in his eyes, it froze.

Under the incredulous gazes of the crowd, Ye Qingchen was seen standing there, slap sweeping out.

This slap was like swatting a fly, full of impatience, yet like a landslide and ground crack, an overwhelming force surged forth, truly unstoppable.

"Not good!"

Elder Yun was terrified and wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

Ye Qingchen's slap descended, and he only had time to withdraw his hands to shield himself before enduring the blow.

Thud!

A dull sound echoed.

Elder Yun spat out a mouthful of blood, and with a speed faster than when he came, flew backward.

His body crashed into tree after tree, drawing a vast dust trail hundreds of zhang along the ground, until finally smashing against a high green stone of several hundred zhang, shattering it before slowing to a stop!

The venue fell silent.

A pin drop could be heard.
