Dominating Sword Immortal - Chapter 804

Chapter 804: 804

Buzz!

The Darklight King firmly clenched his hands and a scorching dark heatwave spread out as he unwaveringly stared at Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng and said inwardly, ‘Gemstone Island is not suitable to make a move . The moment they step outside the islands, they won’t find any place to escape . ’

‘Strongest’ half-step Kings were existences that were revered wherever they went . They were even rarer than Life and Death Kings . The Darklight King caused apprehension even among other half-step Kings; he was a veteran half-step King .

Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng snatched the Shadow Armor right under his nose, which was definitely past his bottom line . Heavens knew how important this armor was for him . A high quality pseudo supreme grade defensive artifact on a ‘strongest’ half-step King was almost a combination of unrivaled defense . It was simply too important .

After waiting for the Darklight King to leave, the crowd erupted into discussions .

“To completely offend a ‘strongest’ half-step King is too rash! I’m afraid that they’ll end up losing not only the armor, but also their lives sooner or later . ”

“However, the Shadow Armor is no small matter . Perhaps they will be able to escape from Darklight King after equipping it . ” A young man who felt that losing her life at the hands of Darklight King would be too much of a pity for a beauty like Murong Qingcheng .

A robust man beside him glanced at him and said, “You must have not been here for long . If you were, you would know that what you said is simply not possible . As a veteran ‘strongest’ half-step King, the Darklight King’s strength is unfathomable . His Dark Light Palm Arts contains two profounds—fire and earth—and the degree of integration is quite high . Even if their defense is formidable…although they wouldn’t die in one or two palm strikes, what about a dozen? They would certainly die unless they have the Zhen Yuan to keep the armor active for a long time . ”

Using a pseudo supreme grade artifact cost a lot of Zhen Yuan . Ordinary half-step Kings could only activate the armor a few times . Although defensive artifacts didn’t cost as much as offensive ones, they lasted only slightly longer, which was merely prolonging one’s death . After all, attacks of ‘strongest’ half-step Kings were extremely powerful, not to mention Darklight King, who specialized in breaking defense .

“This…there might be an accident . ”

“Where do you find such accidents?”

…

Leaving the Glorious Exchanges, the two spotted Wang Lan in a corner, who walked up to them and asked, “What can I do next?”

Buying the Shadow Armor, Murong Qingcheng was in quite a good mood . She directly handed a hundred upper grade stones to her and said, “You should know which islands are relatively quiet and suitable to stay in for a while . Take us to one . ”

“All of the blue islands are relatively peaceful, but the Deep Blue Island is the best . It has all kinds of constructions: luxurious courtyards, ancient buildings, and even underground constructs . However, only half-step Kings are allowed entry on the island . ” Wang Lan was quite familiar with the Gemstone Islands, so she chattered actively .

“That’s fine, take us there . ” Ye Chen nodded faintly .

Wang Lan stared blankly for a moment, then hurriedly said, “Oh, over there!” Ye Chen’s words were confirmation of them being half-step Kings .

Deep Blue Island didn’t allow martial artists under half-step King realm to enter . However, if someone was coming along with a half-step King, they were allowed . After all, there were many half-step Kings who liked to be attended, and not everyone could be refused! Therefore, it wouldn’t be an issue for Wang Lan to enter the island as a guide for half-step Kings .

On the island, there were almost no commercial buildings; they were all residential complexes . Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng chose a huge garden and checked in .

The fee was not high at all, merely a thousand upper grade spirit stones for a month . It seemed as if they didn’t want to profit off half-step Kings, and only wanted them to stay at Gemstone Islands .

With the Shadow Armor in hand, Murong Qingcheng went to her room, preparing to brand it with her divine sense . Ye Chen went to the pavilion on the lake to watch the scenery . As for Wang Lan, Ye Chen gave her a small independent courtyard next to theirs . One could faintly hear air-cleaving sounds from the other side; she was most likely practicing some martial skill .

The dark-green lake was brimming with lilies and lotuses of various colors . They gently swayed with the wind, looking elegant and beautiful . Apart from a chain of pavilions was a gray-colored stone bridge on the lake . From Ye Chen’s view, the stone bridge under the afternoon sun painted a picturesque scene .

Ye Chen was one to go with his heart . He simply laid down in the pavilion and took a little nap . After an unknown time, a yellow light flickered in the sky like a meteor streaking across the horizon . With a faint whiz, the yellow light arced and arrived at Ye Chen’s pavilion .

Ye Chen opened his eyes and smiled, “You’re also here at Gemstone Islands . ”

His guest was none other than the yellow-robed woman from the Mysterious Yin Pagoda .

“Huang Mei…I still don’t know your name” The yellow-robed woman sat on the chair with a vibrant smile and poured herself a cup of tea .

Ye Chen sat across her and said, “Ye Chen . ”

“Good name . I heard a man and a woman offended Darklight King at Glorious Exchanges . It isn’t you two, is it?” Huang Mei said pensively .

Ye Chen smiled in acknowledgment .

“Darklight King is strong . You best not be careless . I will even say you better not directly clash with him . His Dark Light Palm Art is quite troublesome . Even my innate ability is somewhat unable to keep up . After so many years, his palm arts should be even more formidable . ”

Ye Chen said, “So much talk…Seems like you’ve exchanged blows with him . ”

For how powerful ‘strongest’ half-step Kings were, Ye Chen still didn’t have a clear idea . However, he was sure of one thing: the ‘strongest’ half-step Kings wouldn’t be able to do anything to him .

“Yeah…Eh, you’ve entered the half-step King realm!” Huang Mei faintly nodded and let out an exclamation . When she arrived, she hadn’t paid attention to Ye Chen’s cultivation base, and just now measured Ye Chen a bit to discover that he had entered the half-step King realm . Ye Chen was so formidable even when he was at late Sea of Soul realm . Now that he had entered half-step King realm, how powerful would he be?

“Hehe…seems like I was worried for nothing . ”

In reality, although she felt that Ye Chen was powerful, if she went all out, she had the confidence to prevail over him . After all, the ‘strongest’ half-step Kings were not just for show . Not to mention, she also had a pseudo supreme grade artifact suitable for her . If she went all out, her battle power would be unimaginable .

It should be known that pseudo supreme grade artifacts were too high-end for half-step Kings . Ordinary half-step Kings could only use them a few times . However, ‘strongest’ half-step Kings could use them at a different level .

However, Ye Chen was now a half-step King, so his strength must have increased by many folds . Darklight King was bound to suffer a big loss .

Of course, she was not aware that Ye Chen’s entering half-step King was not the same as others . In addition to the Zhen Yuan purity, he had actually improved his Green Lotus Sword Arts to heaven grade, and had also partially completed a sword domain . He was a frightening existence regardless of whether he fought one on one or went against a crowd .

Finishing her tea, Huang Mei left .

A few days later, Murong Qingcheng not only wiped off the previous soul imprint from the armor, but also branded her own soul imprint . As a pseudo supreme grade artifact, the Shadow Armor could make minute adjustments . For example, since Murong Qingcheng was a woman, the armor had turned a lot slender and protruded out in the chest area . It didn’t feel out of sync on her body at any place .

In the yard, Ye Chen said, “Let’s try out the Star Force Field first?”

“Alright . ”

Murong Qingcheng didn’t use the Dark Force Field as she poured her demonic power into the armor, activating the innate Force Field of the Shadow Armor—Star Force Field .

Whizz!

A transparent ripple spread out . Standing before Murong Qingcheng, Ye Chen felt the void squeezing in, making any movement a lot harder . Under her control, a repulsive force acted on his body, seeming like a great force of the heaven and earth .

Deng Deng Deng!

As a result, Ye Chen retreated several steps .

“Quite good!”

As soon as Ye Chen spoke, the repulsion suddenly turned into attraction, and he was forced to greatly increase his Zhen Yuan circulation to counteract it .

“Now, let’s see the result of combining the two force fields!”

The strength of Star Force Field was considerable . Ye Chen estimated that even if he operated his Zhen Yuan at full force, he would still be somewhat influenced by it . The closer he was to Murong Qingcheng, the bigger the influence became . It was no wonder the Black Flame King valued the armor so highly . After all, in a battle of experts, even a hair’s breadth was considered a distance .

Murong Qingcheng body crackled with dark purple lightning and the space suddenly flashed while the entire courtyard turned indistinct .

Rip!

Caught off guard, Ye Chen was blasted off by a powerful repulsive force . Even circulating his Zhen Yuan at full force didn’t help one bit . He was too close to Murong Qingcheng; moreover, the purity and intensity of his Zhen Yuan was more or less the same as hers, but her demonic power was much stronger than his Zhen Yuan .

“Too powerful!”

Ye Chen directly slammed into the courtyard wall . If not for Murong Qingcheng withdrawing the force field, he would have traveled much farther, and would have also received some light injuries .

Retracting the repulsive force, Murong Qingcheng suddenly changed the force field, transforming it into an attractive one . Under the amplification of the Star Force Field, a black hole like attractive force pulled Ye Chen in with a speed as if he was piercing through the void .

“Sword Domain!”

At the crucial moment, Ye Chen unleashed his sword domain, which interwove with Murong QIngcheng’s Dark Force Field .

Although the Sword Domain was not a force field, it had powerful defensive and offensive capabilities . Passing through layers upon layers, Dark Force Field’s influence was no longer much when it finally reached Ye Chen .

Crackle!

The dark purple lightning outside Murong Qingcheng’s body dispersed, and her force field dissipated . Retracting his sword domain as well, Ye Chen praised, “It’s freakishly strong! Even the ‘strongest’ half-step Kings would be incapable of approaching you, and can only fight from range . ”

A force field could have a great overall impact, but its offense was a lot weaker . This was because the energy of the force field would be concentrated only temporarily .

Murong Qingcheng said, “This armor has one more use . ”

“What use?”

Huff!

A dim shadow flickered, and Murong Qingcheng arrived before Ye Chen .

“Speed amplification . ” Ye Chen’s eyes shone . Murong Qingcheng was already quite fast . Adding the Shadow Armor, her speed was most likely at the crown of half-step King realm .
