Chapter 1609: Chapter 1599: Bai Xiaorou Makes Her Entrance!
The Water Spirit Pearl quietly hovered above Ye Chenfeng’s head, as if nothing had just happened.
The sect masters and disciples from various sects around the square were all gasping in shock. Time and time again, they thought Ye Chenfeng was doomed, yet he repeatedly escaped danger.
This time, even Chen Hejiang, a powerful opponent at the middle stage of the fourth heaven of the Nirvana Realm, personally took action, yet he still couldn’t kill Ye Chenfeng, who was only at the middle stage of the first heaven of the Creation Realm.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the Water Spirit Pearl hovering above Ye Chenfeng’s head. The Refining Sect’s Sect Master, Wang Zhenshan, had just revealed the grade of this Water Spirit Pearl, and it was a middle-grade treasure.
Now, most of the people present truly didn’t believe Ye Chenfeng was from the Lower Plane. It was simply absurd; someone possessing a middle-grade treasure couldn’t possibly come from the Lower Plane. It was an insult to their intelligence.
There were many who lacked self-control among those present, and they were already swallowing their saliva as they gazed at the Water Spirit Pearl.
A middle-grade treasure is enough to drive any sect in the Earth Profound Realm crazy, and even a high-grade sect would undoubtedly show great interest in a middle-grade treasure.
In the Earth Profound Realm, the highest grade is only a sixth-grade artifact refiner, who can at most refine high-grade spiritual artifacts.
From the Water Spirit Pearl swallowing the Giant Serpent Tail Whip, to releasing it again, and finally to Chen Hejiang being swept away by it, all these events happened in mere seconds.
Chen Hejiang brought this upon himself. He originally intended to kill Ye Chenfeng with the Giant Serpent Tail Whip, but ended up being struck by his own attack, effectively slapping himself hard, both painfully and humiliatingly.
Lin Xinyi, whose acupuncture points were sealed, finally relaxed slightly when she saw Ye Chenfeng escape danger once again.
Those lying on the ground, especially Zuo Feibai and Wu Lifen, were instantly filled with excitement seeing Chen Hejiang swept away.
The red flaming real person guarding Zeng Guangyuan and others furrowed his brows tightly. The red flaming real person snorted coldly, saying, “This brat certainly has quite a few tricks up his sleeve.”
The red flaming real person then looked at Zeng Guangyuan and the others on the ground and shouted, “But you shouldn’t be too happy. Although the bead above the brat’s head is a middle-grade treasure, its effect is only triggered by water, and Chen Hejiang happens to be using water art and water combat techniques.”
“If Chen Hejiang hadn’t used water combat techniques just now and had directly struck with his palm, he probably could have killed the brat. The bead merely gave the brat a breath before dying.”
Upon hearing this, Zeng Guangyuan, Qian Rong’an, and the others’ expressions changed again, knowing the red flaming real person wasn’t wrong.
Because when Ye Chenfeng fought Li Bei’ao earlier, the Water Spirit Pearl didn’t emerge from Ye Chenfeng’s body. Li Bei’ao, with the middle stage strength of the third heaven of the Reincarnation Realm, could still beat Ye Chenfeng nearly to death, proving that the Water Spirit Pearl only reacts to water or elements related to water.
Chen Hejiang, trapped in the Stele, his old face twisted with anger, his body’s aura suddenly erupted.
“Boom!”
The thick Stele instantly shattered into countless pieces, and Chen Hejiang, with a thin trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, stood steadily on the ground. He slowly exhaled, his bloody hands trembling slightly as he tried to suppress his inner rage.
At this moment, Chen Hejiang’s cloudy eyes were filled with passion, looking at the Water Spirit Pearl above Ye Chenfeng’s head. Having cultivated water art and water combat techniques, obtaining this Water Spirit Pearl would be like adding wings to a tiger. Even facing masters at the fifth heaven of Nirvana Realm, he’d have some confidence.
Though blinded by rage over his grandson Chen Nan’s death, Chen Hejiang calmed down, realizing Ye Chenfeng carried many secrets. If Ye Chenfeng were to die so easily, it would be letting him off too lightly.
At the main seat, Spiritual Medicine Valley’s Sect Master Nan Haosheng became somewhat panicked upon recognizing Ye Chenfeng’s identity. The scene outside Medicine King City when Ye Chenfeng released the devastating green thunder still haunted Nan Haosheng.
The founder of Spiritual Medicine Valley, Du Beinian, seeing Nan Haosheng’s pale face, showed displeasure and shouted, “Haosheng, are you scared by this brat too? Though middle-grade treasures are formidable, the brat’s treasure has too many limitations, only effective when encountering water. With your Reincarnation Realm power, you could easily deal with the brat.”
Nan Haosheng’s unusual behavior attracted attention from others.
Upon hearing Du Beinian’s words, Nan Haosheng quickly swallowed and explained, “Ancestor, I recognized the brat’s identity. He’s the one who destroyed our Medicine King City and killed many elders and disciples from our Spiritual Medicine Valley.”
Du Beinian was instantly furious upon hearing this and demanded, “You’re not mistaken, are you?”
Nan Haosheng confidently nodded and said, “Ancestor, I definitely wouldn’t mistake him. Although the brat wore a mask back then, he has a way to rapidly heal injuries, like when Sect Master Li wounded him earlier. He worked the same magic outside Medicine King City to heal his injuries.”
