Duan Xing shuddered and begged, “No, don’t kill me. Mad Southern Ye, spare my insignificant life. I’m willing to be your dog…”
At that moment, he finally realized the gap between him and Ye Chen. Even a pseudo emperor might not be his match, let alone a high-level martial venerable.
“Sorry, you’re worse than a dog!”
Ye Chen flicked his finger. A fingerprint condensed in the air and pierced through his head.
Eventually, Duan Xing’s pupils shrunk at the last bit of fear, and his body collapsed.
From the moment Ye Chen entered until Duan Xing died, the entire process was completed in the blink of an eye.
When Han Qinhu and the rest came to their senses, they looked at Ye Chen with extreme passion.
“Supreme Ye!”
“Supreme Ye!”
“Supreme Ye!”
Everyone, including Han Qinhu, was shouting Ye Chen’s name maniacally. Everyone’s faces were red as they felt their blood boiling.
To them, Ye Chen was a legend in the Chinese cultivation world and a legend in their hearts. He was their idol and their faith!
Now that the legend had returned, it meant that the hope of the Chinese cultivation world was still there. How could they not be excited?!
Ye Chen turned around slowly. He looked at every face in the prison in shame. He felt suffocated.
He took a deep breath in and bowed to all of them before speaking in a powerful voice, “All of you have been implicated by me. I apologize to all of you!”
With that, he waved his sleeve, and several dozen formation flags immediately landed around the prison. With a flash of light, the formation flags integrated, forming an extremely grand formation.
Dozens of medicinal pills and mystic stones shot into the prison and landed in everyone’s hands one after another. The vitality was powerful like dragons and the fragrance of medicinal pills overflowed!
Han Qinhu and the rest were surprised, “What’s this?”
They did not understand anything about a cultivation item like a mystic stone that belonged to a martial artist from the Ancient Desolate Realm. The only thing they could feel was that the mystic stone was filled with endless heaven and earth energy vitality.
Ye Chen said slowly when he met everyone’s gaze, “Everyone has suffered serious injuries. I’ve set up this formation to help you guys heal. Please take the medicinal pill and absorb the heaven and earth energy vitality in the mystic stone. You can even use the power of the formation to break through your cultivation base!”
“What?”
Everyone was shocked. Without any hesitation, they sat down cross-legged and swallowed all the pills.
“Heaven and earth energy vitality, listen to my command!”
Ye Chen grabbed at the sky. All the heaven and earth energy vitality within a hundred kilometers boiled and turned into light spots that gathered in his hand.
“Go!”
With a wave of his hand, the heaven and earth energy vitality that had been condensed to the point of almost solidifying surged into the formation. Finally, it was absorbed by Han Qinhu and the rest.
At that moment, Han Qinhu and the rest could only feel their dried up dantian filling up again. In fact, it was even better than before. Coupled with Ye Chen’s medicinal pills, they all chose to break through their Martial Dao barrier.
Boom…
As a thunderous vitality fluctuation spread out, everyone’s bodies trembled violently as the sound of beans being fried came from their bodies.
It was the sound of the barrier breaking!
Han Qinhu was the first to break through. He went from a peak-stage Martial Dao master to beginner-stage martial venerable. In the end, he even broke through to an intermediate-stage martial venerable.
He was ecstatic, “I’ve become a martial venerable!”
“Hahaha!”
Following a loud laugh, Li Yunxiao opened his eyes and said excitedly, “I’ve reached the venerable stage too!”
“I’ve become a peak-stage Martial Dao master…”
At that moment, the some 20 people in the prison broke through. Among them, Han Qinhu, Li Yunxiao, Pang Yuanqing, and the other top ten Martial Dao masters on the Heaven Leaderboard stepped into the venerable stage.
As for the rest who were ranked lower on the Heaven Leaderboard, those who were less powerful had also become peak-stage Martial Dao masters.
“Thank you, Supreme Ye!”
“Thank you, Supreme Ye!”
At this moment, everyone bowed. Other than a fanatical look, their eyes were filled with gratitude.
Although they did not know what the black stone that Ye Chen gave them was, they knew that not only was Ye Chen not dead, he had brought them great fortune.
Not only did Ye Chen save them, he had even helped them!
When Xu Jianzhang saw this, his eyes were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. If he had not submitted to Duan Xing, he would have benefited greatly today.
“Everyone!”
Ye Chen raised his hand to stop them. He swept his gaze across everyone and said in an extremely cold voice, “Are you willing to follow me to stop Shang Santian from returning to their scabbard and defend the dignity of the Chinese cultivation world?!”
Plop!
Han Qinhu was the first to kneel on one knee. He clasped his fists with both hands and looked at Ye Chen while flushing, “I’m willing to follow you, Supreme Ye. I’ll stop Shang Santian from returning to their scabbard and defend the dignity of the Chinese cultivation world!”
Plop!
Plop!
At this moment, the some 20 people present simultaneously knelt on one knee. Warm tears rolled down their rough faces!
“We’re willing to follow Supreme Ye. We stop Shang Santian from returning to their scabbard and defend the dignity of the Chinese cultivation world!”
The voices were orderly and powerful, and the voices were hoarse. The faces were filled with resentment.
Before Shang Santian came into the world, some of them did not even know of the existence of Shang Santian. Therefore, they were arrogant and narrow-minded.
However, after Shang Santian came into the world, they had seen what a gap was and what fear was. In the eyes of Shang Santian, the strength that they were proud of was no different from an ant.
They hated Shang Santian for causing chaos in China and ruining their lives. They hated the fact that countless people had died at the hands of Shang Santian.
They hated themselves even more for their incompetence!
Now that Ye Chen had returned, it was equivalent to giving them hope. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, they were willing to support the future of China’s cultivation world even if it meant death!
Under this imposing manner, Xu Jianzhang also knelt on one knee on the ground, “Supreme Ye, I will also follow you. I will stop Shang Santian from returning to their scabbard and defend the dignity of the Chinese cultivation world!
“F*cking Shang Santian is too much!”
As soon as he said that, Han Qinhu and the rest glared at him and started cursing, “Shameless!”
After understanding Xu Jianzhang’s behavior, Ye Chen squinted, “Do you think a traitor like you is worthy of following me?”
Meeting his gaze, Xu Jianzhang’s heart almost broke. He hurriedly said, “Supreme Ye, listen to my explanation. I pretended to surrender, but in reality, I wanted to help the Chinese cultivation world…”
“Die!”
Before he could finish, Ye Chen stretched his hand out and crushed him into a bloody mist, “Betraying your country for glory. You deserve to die!”
