CHAPTER 36: CHAPTER 36: KILL!

In the eyes of the crowd.

The terrifying palm of Hong Qitian was like a deity raising its hand. Wherever it passed, everything was destroyed. The ground cracked inch by inch, and everything on the square turned into dust. It was like a tidal wave, surging, tumultuous, crazily sweeping, enough to engulf any existence.

But the outcome, when it came into contact with Ye Qingchen’s finger, was that it exploded on the spot. Furthermore, at that moment, it was as if water from the heavens reversed its flow, waves rising up, blasting towards Hong Qitian!

"How is this possible?"

Hong Qitian’s expression changed.

The reverse flow of energy was even more rapid than when it went, instantly arriving in front of him. At this moment, he could only forcibly wave his hands, driving a surge of Qi Force, and then take the hit head-on!

"Bang!"

A dull thud sounded.

In the incredulous gazes of the crowd, Hong Qitian spat out a mouthful of blood, his form trembling violently, losing balance on the spot, shooting backward like an arrow, crashing heavily on the ground!

"Heaven help us!"

Elder Xie and others were nearly bug-eyed.

He had imagined Ye Qingchen would be defeated by Hong Qitian, killed on the spot with a palm.

He also imagined Hong Qitian using vicious methods, toying with Ye Qingchen before tormenting him to death.

He considered all kinds of possibilities!

But.

He never imagined this possibility.

At this critical moment, Ye Qingchen not only broke through to the Spiritual Sea Realm but also struck Hong Qitian away with a finger!

"Thunder Shock Pointing! You actually learned the Thunder Shock Pointing!"

Hong Qitian slowly got up, ice-cold eyes. This brat killed his child and learned the secret technique!

For a moment, a raging fury surged to the extreme, a terrifying power spiraling with a dreadful aura that suffocated the many young geniuses on the square!

"So what if you learned the Thunder Shock Pointing? It’s a Profound Tier Upper Martial Technique. Even if you reached the Spiritual Sea Realm, forcibly using this Cultivation Technique is a huge burden on your body!"

Hong Qitian’s heart was filled with murderous intent.

This brat’s potential was truly terrifying.

He even learned this Martial Technique!

He felt that if he couldn’t kill Ye Qingchen today, he would never have a chance again!

"That’s right, so what?"

Ye Qingchen’s eyes were icy cold.

He had used Thunder Shock Pointing once when killing the Sword Patterned Snake Demon King before, and using it again was pushing his body to the limit. But that didn’t mean he had no way to deal with Hong Qitian!

"I said, today you’re doomed to die!"

As his words fell.

Ye Qingchen’s right hand pointed into the void, and in an instant, a fierce wind surged, a force of the sword swiftly spreading. At that moment, the broken sword fragments smashed by powerful energy suddenly sprang up and hovered in mid-air.

Suspended in front of him!

"Sword Intent!"

The elders on the high platform, still in shock from Ye Qingchen’s breakthrough to the Spiritual Sea Realm and his display of a Profound Grade Top Martial Technique, were once again stunned by the scene before them.

"This is actually Sword Intent!"

"He actually touched the threshold of Sword Intent!"

Seeing this scene, the elders almost jumped up in shock.

To know.

Among the countless geniuses of the eight major sects, no one had ever touched the Sword Intent realm right after breaking through to the Spiritual Sea Realm. Even a mere seed of Sword Intent, it was undeniably Sword Intent!

With the Sword Intent’s activation, it could multiply the power of existing sword moves several times, or even tens of times!

"I don’t believe it, how could you possibly comprehend Sword Intent! This is fake!"

Hong Qitian let out a wild howl, his gaze suddenly turning fierce and terrifying. His powerful True Qi surged out without any reservation. At that moment, he poured his lifetime of power and Martial Dao into this one palm.

Boom!

As he suddenly raised his palm, the force roared like thunder, and the ground cracked beneath his feet as if a mad dragon was rising.

This raised palm seemed to stir the winds and clouds, looking down upon the world.

In an instant, it blasted forward, fiercely striking the rain of swords formed by the myriad fragments.

"Boom!"

Two astonishing attacks collided fiercely, immediately erupting into a thunderous explosion. The terrifying shockwave from the collision turned into a ring of dust, spreading in all directions.

As the dust churned.

A scream rang out suddenly.

"Wow!"

Amidst it, a figure spat forth a mouthful of blood, flying heavily out of the dust.

"Who is it?"

At this moment, everyone was too shocked to care about anything else.

All eyes turned to look.

At this sight, everyone couldn’t help but gasp in unison. The figure blasted out was none other than Hong Qitian!

As the wind blew, the dust settled.

Only to see Ye Qingchen standing in the center, his tall and slender figure like a sharp sword!

In that last confrontation, Ye Qingchen, who had just broken through to the Spiritual Sea Realm, had forcibly crushed Hong Qitian, who was at the Spiritual Sea Third Layer!

"This is impossible!"

Hong Qitian’s face turned ashen, incredulous.

He had always been supremely confident, believing he controlled everything behind the scenes, playing Ye Qingchen with ease, and could crush him like an ant whenever he wished.

But now, this scene awakened him completely!

Not just him, but everyone around was dumbstruck, as if struck by lightning. Especially Elder Xie from the Celestial Essence Sword Sect, who almost lost his eyes!

"Escape immediately!"

Hong Qitian realized that at present, Ye Qingchen had completely exceeded his control, becoming the greatest enemy he had ever faced. If he didn’t leave now, he would surely perish here.

He clenched his fists, bloodshot eyes, his veins bulging like worms all over his body.

Evidently.

He was resorting to desperate measures!

However, at this moment, Hong Qitian used this to flee.

Hong Qitian thought, as long as he survived today, there might still be a chance in the future. As long as the green hills remain, there’s no fear of running out of firewood. If he really died here, it would be all over!

"Too late to escape now, isn’t it?"

Ye Qingchen’s gaze focused, his right hand suddenly clawing at the void.

In an instant.

Sword Intent swept, countless young geniuses only felt their swords lose control, flying skyward, converging together, like ten thousand swords uniting!

"This sword is for you!"

Boom!

Ye Qingchen raised his hand, slashing through the void as if it were being torn apart. Countless swords roared forth like a wild dragon. From afar, it resembled a sharp-toothed sword dragon!

In a blink, the short distance of hundreds of meters was crossed.

Before Hong Qitian could react, the sword had already arrived.

"No!"

At this final moment, Hong Qitian let out a mournful cry, his palms fiercely waved, kicking up a violent Qi wave, trying to block this attack.

But the sword was too fierce, completely beyond Hong Qitian’s reaction threshold. In the shocking gazes of countless onlookers, this sweeping sword pierced through Hong Qitian’s body like a wild dragon!

"Splurt!"

Blood splattered.

In the depths of countless people’s eyes, Hong Qitian trembled violently, as if the image frozen, transfixed on the spot, unable to take another step. Then, like a felled tree, he toppled forward, completely lifeless!
