Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

Page 86

A black beam of light, capable of devouring everything, ripped through the sky and hurtled directly toward the pursuers.

Meanwhile, the pursuer, who was being attacked, stood still and simply threw a right punch forward—

"Pong!"

A violent explosion was produced.

Cao Ying felt as if a mountain had crashed down on her with that punch, and the entire space was naturally locked and compressed.

"puff!"

Cao Ying's figure finally reappeared, and the soul sword she condensed in both hands unsurprisingly struck the opponent's fist.

However, this sword strike, which incorporated her strongest power, resulted in her own sword shattering instantly, while her opponent's fist remained completely unharmed...

Under the opponent's violent punches, Cao Ying was thrown backward uncontrollably.

If the opponent attacks now, she won't even have the ability to dodge...

However, the pursuer remained standing still, maintaining his punching posture, without making any further moves or showing any intention to pursue, which made Cao Ying breathe a sigh of relief.

&

In fact, her previous attack, which had gathered all her power, wasn't entirely without effect on her opponent...

Dizziness, splitting headache...

The negative feelings directly impacted his soul, rendering the pursuers unable to make any further moves for a short period of time.

By the time he recovered from his dizziness, Cao Ying had already created a considerable distance between them, missing the best time to pursue.

"Very well, it seems I underestimated you!"

The pursuer's voice was filled with coldness and murderous intent, and his previously lifeless eyes gradually turned red...

"This is bad!" Seeing that this guy was obviously enraged, Cao Ying immediately realized the danger.

Without saying a word, the girl turned and ran...

Watching Cao Ying's figure disappear into the distance, the pursuer's eyes glowed even brighter, and his cold, mechanical voice pierced through the layers of space to reach the pursuer's ears.

"You're wasting my time!"

The pursuer, gradually losing patience, could no longer conceal his killing intent. He clenched his fist, and terrifying soul power surged from his body, then formed a gigantic blue crystal claw made of completely materialized soul energy in front of him in a flash.

As the claw took shape, the pursuer waved his sleeve, and the crystalline claw vanished into thin air!

Cao Ying, caught off guard by the danger, was momentarily stunned when the space in front of her suddenly rippled violently...

In that split second, she lost her only chance to dodge. Then, the crystalline claw forcefully pierced through space and grabbed her hard!

With a single grab of the energy claw, Cao Ying was shocked to find that the surrounding space was completely frozen!

In this frozen space, she was completely unable to move! So she could only watch helplessly as the giant crystalline hand grabbed her hard.

At this critical moment, a violent shockwave came from behind Cao Ying, followed by an equally enormous soul handprint that slammed heavily into the giant hand...

click!

The moment the soul handprint appeared, the energy crystal claw clenched down fiercely. The former could only withstand it for a moment before huge cracks appeared on its face, and it looked like it was about to collapse.

In this brief standoff, a large hand grabbed Cao Ying's delicate hand, who was drenched in a cold sweat, and a familiar voice rang in her ear...

"go!"

The sudden aid also took Cao Ying by surprise.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, her heart pounded, and her beautiful eyes, still filled with lingering shock, locked onto the person's face...

Just as I suspected, it was indeed that guy who came!

For some reason, Cao Ying felt a little sweetness in her heart, but it was quickly replaced by the crisis at the scene. She followed Ye Chen and quickly fled the scene.

As the two rushed into the gray fog, Cao Ying, who was being pulled behind, gave Ye Chen a deep look with her beautiful eyes. Her red lips parted slightly, and a soft voice reached his ears: "Thank you."

The sudden tenderness did not elicit a response from the boy; instead, the girl noticed his discomfort from the slight tremor in his body…

This almost made Cao Ying furious!

My dear auntie was unusually gentle this time, and this is the reaction you give me?

The current critical situation prevented this vixen from acting recklessly, so she could only suppress her emotions and follow Ye Chen to escape for their lives...

Chapter 194 Dual Battles

Watching the duo disappear into the distance, the pursuer's gaze lingered on the soul handprint that had blocked his attack.

"Aura?"

He could smell the spiritual energy in the soul handprint he had just made.

Only a soul force that also contains spiritual energy could withstand my attacks for so long.

In this world composed entirely of souls, a soul possessing spiritual energy is like those in the outside world who can cultivate battle qi.

"You can't escape..."

The red light faded, but the killing intent emanating from the pursuer intensified, even pushing away the surrounding gray mist with its oppressive pressure.

……

……

Carrying Cao Ying, Ye Chen flashed past like lightning, speeding away into the distance.

However, his face was now filled with a solemn expression...

Although there was no sign of the pursuer behind them at this moment, he had a vague feeling that he had been locked onto by that guy!

Is it because of spiritual energy?

Ye Chen was thinking rapidly.

As Ye Chen absorbed more and more spiritual energy, his understanding of the spiritual realms and souls in this outer realm also deepened.

It's like a connection between us...

At first, he didn't understand why the activity ranges of these spiritual beings were so far apart. Was it just because of their habit of dividing up territory like magical beasts?

This idea suddenly became clear to him after he encountered the second soul entity and sensed the special spiritual energy fluctuations within it from dozens of miles away.

It wasn't that these soul entities had vast territories, but rather that those soul entities not far from them were devouring each other...

Those that have survived to this day are all those who have won battles, which results in every soul he encounters being extremely powerful.

"Damn it, I'm really getting entangled here. If you really push me too far, I'll risk serious injury to kill you today..."

His figure swept forward again, and the feeling not only did not weaken, but became even stronger. At that moment, Ye Chen felt a killing intent and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

However, looking at Cao Ying, whom he was holding onto, he noticed that the girl didn't exude any spiritual energy, meaning she hadn't absorbed any spiritual energy yet. It seemed that having her by his side was probably pointless...

With this in mind, Ye Chen made his decision.

"Keep moving forward. I've already cleared out the enemies in this direction. Run as far away as possible..."

Stopping in his tracks, Ye Chen solemnly gave the girl some instructions before turning to prepare for the upcoming battle.

The intelligent Cao Ying naturally understood what Ye Chen's actions meant, and a feeling of indignation welled up in her heart, making her want to speak up and refute.

However, having received the elite education of the Cao family, how could she possibly do something so thoughtless? So she held back the words that were about to spill out and said instead, "That guy is very strong. Can you handle him alone? I think it would be better if we ran away together..."

Judging from how Ye Chen defended against the opponent's attack, the opponent was clearly stronger than Ye Chen. Letting someone who had saved them fight against a powerful enemy alone is not in the Cao family's character!

Ye Chen shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "We can't escape! The opponent is also a Spirit Realm soul body. In this outer realm, Spirit Realm beings can sense each other's spiritual energy fluctuations. Unless we can escape directly to a place a hundred miles away..."

But their speed was clearly no slower than ours.

Therefore, there's no point in continuing to run away!

Upon hearing this, Cao Ying replied without hesitation, "Then I'll stay and help you!"

"Don't rush, I'm not being reckless, I'm confident. Before I met you, I fought against this opponent, and even at full strength, I could hold them off for a moment..."

This surprised Ye Chen, and he began to look at the girl with new respect.

If we only consider soul power, Cao Ying's soul power strength at this moment is at most about the same as when she first entered the Soul Domain.

You have to understand, I spent several months leveling up in the newbie village before I gained the power to kill a spirit in the Spirit Realm, and there was an element of luck involved.

The guy chasing them now is clearly stronger than any of the spirit realm souls they've encountered...

How could Cao Ying possibly withstand such a terrifying enemy?

Seeing Ye Chen's surprised expression, Cao Ying, who rarely showed any girlish side, raised her eyebrows and pouted at him triumphantly, looking cute and mischievous.

However, Ye Chen had no time to appreciate the rare beautiful scenery, because he sensed that the enemy was already approaching...

"Alright! Since you're confident, then try to stall them for a moment and buy me some time."

"Uh, how long will it take?" Hearing Ye Chen's solemn words, Cao Ying felt a little guilty.

"Ten breaths will be enough!"

Upon hearing that it would only take ten breaths, Cao Ying immediately felt relieved.

"Be careful, it's coming!"

Ye Chen's voice suddenly rang out, and then he was seen striking out a soul handprint with each of his hands, smashing it towards a patch of gray mist.

Bang!

A figure emerged from the mist and, facing the two soul handprints unleashed by Ye Chen, simply waved his hand and released a soul shock, directly shattering the soul handprints.

"The spiritual energy is mine!"

A stiff voice came from the newcomer's mouth, and then a pair of huge crystal hands appeared from both sides of Ye Chen at the same time, squeezing him over as if to smash him into a meat patty.

Faced with such an attack, Ye Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his hands moved so fast that they formed hand seals like phantoms, finally unleashing a massive soul hand seal at the same time...

"Soul Handprint, quadrupled!"

A massive surge of soul power erupted from Ye Chen's hands, and with the support of those strands of spiritual energy, the power of these two soul hand seals doubled!

"Cao Ying, make your move!"

After completely drawing the enemy's attention, Ye Chen shouted at Cao Ying, who had been preparing for a long time.

Upon hearing Ye Chen's command, Cao Ying, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately let out a delicate shout, combined the two swords in her hands into one, and directly thrust at the enemy with a fearless, life-or-death fighting style.

Faced with Cao Ying's deadly attack, the pursuer also sensed the danger, so he could only quickly abandon the stalemate with Ye Chen and raise his hand to set up a soul defense light screen in front of him.

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Chen immediately stretched out both hands, each forming a strange hand seal, which then shifted rapidly as if he were fighting with both hands simultaneously.

As his hand seals changed, immense and unparalleled soul power began to swirl between his palms, and an unusual soul pressure rapidly formed...

At a certain moment, Ye Chen's lightning-fast hand seals suddenly froze. At this moment, his hands held a strange hand seal, a smile appeared on his lips, and then his left hand seal suddenly pushed out lightly!

With a flick of his hand, a powerful palm print burst forth like a tiger descending a mountain, its deep roar resonating deep within the souls of the three people present.

Chapter 195 Confusion

The invisible, powerful palm print rapidly magnified in the eyes of the pursuers, who were temporarily unable to move due to Cao Ying's soul-piercing sword strike.

At this moment, the latter's ethereal silver hair and robes were being blown backward by the wind, and even showed signs of dissolving...

"Roar!"

As the palm print in his pupils grew larger, a deep roar suddenly came from the pursuer's throat. He turned his hands into fists and forcefully threw a punch.

Unfortunately, his fist had barely moved when the powerful palm print suddenly arrived, slamming heavily into his chest...

"Oh!"

Invisible ripples surged out like waves, and the pursuer's body shot backward, leaving a deep trench in its path.

Having succeeded in his first strike, Ye Chen pressed his advantage.

Taking a deep breath, the hand seal held by his right hand slowly changed at this moment. Then, a powerful palm print, several times stronger than before, roared like a storm, accompanied by a deafening dragon's roar, and resounded once again!

Boom boom!

Two consecutive attacks finally broke through the pursuers' defenses, and this was the opportunity Ye Chen had been waiting for...

"Soul Arrows, unleash a volley of arrows!"
