Chapter 2277: Chapter 2275: [Northern State’s Fifth Elder Admits It]

[Wishing all my dear readers, brothers, and the ones who love me, a happy Dragon Boat Festival!]

The Fifth Elder of the Northern State was so ruthless that he was actually using the First, Second, Third, and even the Fourth Elders of the Northern State as cannon fodder. No one saw through this except Ye Tianchen!

When Ye Tianchen presented his analysis with clear evidence, the Fourth Elder of the Northern State began to doubt, and the Fifth Elder of the Northern State looked at Ye Tianchen with a murderous glare, feeling an unrefutable sensation!

"That’s right, these four people are all my pawns, and also my cannon fodder. Now that I already know how you can manipulate Chaos Qi, the extent of your strongest power, I can kill you at any time!" The Fifth Elder of the Northern State said calmly as he looked at Ye Tianchen.

"You’re saying that for you, these Northern State Elders are of no use anymore?" Ye Tianchen glanced at the Fourth Elder of the Northern State and asked.

The Fifth Elder of the Northern State glanced at the Fourth Elder, didn’t say a word, but looked at Ye Tianchen with violent murder in his eyes. At this moment, even if the Fourth Elder was foolish, he probably had noticed some clues and immediately rushed to the front of the Fifth Elder of the Northern State, coldly questioning, "You are using us, aren’t you?"

"We are all aiming to destroy the heritage of the Flying Flower Zen Temple and get that long-dreamed-for Immortal Origin Liquid. In this battle, someone always has to sacrifice. What do you say?" The Fifth Elder of the Northern State was somewhat unwilling to answer the Fourth Elder’s question but still said impatiently.

"But from the beginning, we were equals, yet you have been using us!" The Fourth Elder of the Northern State said with indignation.

"Equals? Can we truly be equals? Over these years, my power has long surpassed yours. It wouldn’t be too difficult to kill you, yet I haven’t done so, which is already quite merciful of me!" The Fifth Elder of the Northern State said shamelessly.

"So in your eyes, we have always been people you could kill or enslave at any time!" The Fourth Elder of the Northern State clenched his jaw tight, looking at the Fifth Elder and stated.

"Did I say anything wrong? This kid is doomed, I’ve already figured out how to break through this Chaos Qi and kill him, and the Immortal Origin Liquid will be ours. At least you’re still alive, aren’t you?" The Fifth Elder glanced at the Fourth Elder with displeasure.

"I..." Suddenly, the Fourth Elder was stunned, finding that what the Fifth Elder of the Northern State said wasn’t entirely wrong.

The so-called Five Elders of the Northern State were nothing but some old fellows from different lineages within the Northern State Territory, and the amount of camaraderie they shared was virtually nonexistent. When it came down to making life-or-death decisions, stabbing each other in the back and mutual slaughtering wasn’t surprising at all. What annoyed the Fourth Elder was that the four of them were so stupid, never thinking that even in an alliance, the Fifth Elder would be so ruthless, cunning, and manipulative. How terrifying must such a person be? How infuriating?

"Do you think this old guy, being so ruthless, will genuinely share the Immortal Origin Liquid with you? He just wants to keep you around to explore those deadly places hiding the Immortal Origin Liquid. Once he actually gets it, you’ll lose all your value and be dead!" Ye Tianchen said calmly and smiled at the Fourth Elder of the Northern State.

"Stop sowing discord! Do you think you can survive like this?" The Fifth Elder suddenly felt a sense of anger, as if Ye Tianchen had unveiled his deepest thoughts!

"Whether I can survive or not, it doesn’t need such discord. It’s because you are such a ruthless person!" Ye Tianchen shook his head and said with a smile.

The Fifth Elder glanced at Ye Tianchen, then at the Fourth Elder. At this point, the Fourth Elder’s usefulness was also diminishing. He became quite calm, not caring about being seen through by Ye Tianchen. He could kill the heavily injured Fourth Elder at will, having already assessed Ye Tianchen’s ability to manipulate Chaos Qi through the Fourth Elder, which emboldened the Fifth Elder, making him feel everything was still within his grasp!

"The Martial Arts World is inherently cruel and bloody. It’s no surprise that people use each other. There’s nothing to explain about senseless slaughter, is there?" The Fifth Elder said dismissively.

"You’re right; the Martial Arts World is indeed cruel beyond measure. All cultivating beings are using all means to enhance their power. But today, all the Five Elders of the Northern State came to annihilate the Flying Flower Zen Temple and hunt me, Ye Tianchen. In such circumstances, with the enemy not eliminated, you are thinking about making others the cannon fodder and eliminating even your own people. A person as ruthless and deeply cunning as you, I truly admire too!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile, looking at the Fifth Elder of the Northern State.

Bangdong!

A loud crash, and the entire body of the Fifth Elder of the Northern State radiated a murderous aura. He unleashed the full pressure of his body, startling Ye Tianchen and stunning the nearby Fourth Elder, as none had anticipated the immense strength of the Fifth Elder exposed until now, a truly premeditated move!

"You... you actually possess the peak combat power of the cultivation realm at the late stage of the Martial Saint!" The four elders of the Northern State couldn’t help but look at the fifth elder of the Northern State with shock.

"Is there anything strange about that? I’m inherently stronger than you, so it’s only right that I use you. Now, killing this kid is as easy as turning my hand. Don’t do anything you might regret!" The fifth elder of the Northern State coldly looked at the four elders of the Northern State and said.

"Will you really share the Immortal Origin Liquid with me?" The fourth elder of the Northern State was still somewhat hesitant. After all, he wasn’t stupid, and Ye Tianchen’s words did affect him. How deep is the fifth elder of the Northern State’s scheming, and how terrifying is this person? The fourth elder of the Northern State couldn’t see through him!

"If I wasn’t planning to share the Immortal Origin Liquid with you, why didn’t I let you be cannon fodder from the start?" The fifth elder of the Northern State retorted to the fourth elder.

"But... will you really not kill me?" The fourth elder of the Northern State still hesitated to ask.

"If I wanted to kill you, do you have any power to resist? Don’t forget, this kid is like a demon. If he doesn’t die, he’ll be a perpetual trouble. He is our common enemy!" The fifth elder of the Northern State said fiercely.

"But I’ve already been severely injured, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to go and fight!" The fourth elder of the Northern State thought for a moment and said.

"No need, with the Saint Bow and Murder Arrow in my hand, it’s enough!" The fifth elder of the Northern State said lightly.

Buzz!

At that moment, the fifth elder of the Northern State gathered arrow light in his hand, which was infused with the Arrow Energy tempered from his Lifeblood, extremely powerful. When Ye Tianchen saw this arrow light, he couldn’t help but frown, and at once waved his right hand, enveloping himself with Chaos Qi, clasping his hands together. The symbols from the Buddhist Scriptures flowed in Ye Tianchen’s mind and slowly descended, a ray of Buddha Light covering his whole body. At this moment, Ye Tianchen didn’t know how to use his powerful energy to withstand the power of slaughter from this Saint Treasure; perhaps the only thing that could dissipate such killing intent was the mysterious, boundless Buddhist Scriptures!

Swoosh!

The fifth elder of the Northern State was even more filled with hatred towards Ye Tianchen because Ye Tianchen was right; he almost hit the fifth elder’s intentions spot on. At once, he pulled the bow and shot an arrow, blasting it towards Ye Tianchen.

Boom!

The battle power of the peak of late stage Martial Saint realm, along with the power of the Saint Treasure, truly had a world-destroying feeling. The speed and power of this arrow reached the extreme, directly blasting onto the Chaos Qi, with a force that seemed to pierce through the Chaos Qi!

Rustle!

Ye Tianchen muttered some Buddhist Scriptures from his mouth, and these scriptures gradually flowed from his lips, all manifesting on the outside of the Chaos Qi, and gradually entwined around the arrow light.

Seeing this, the fifth elder of the Northern State was startled, with a feeling of disbelief. Although his arrow light clashed with the Chaos Qi earlier and didn’t blast through it, there was a feeling of gaining the upper hand, which delighted the fifth elder of the Northern State. After all, the strength of Chaos Qi was universally known, and being able to suppress it to this degree with an arrow was truly remarkable!

However, just when he thought he could confront the Chaos Qi head-on and definitely kill Ye Tianchen, he didn’t expect that the Buddhist Runes that permeated from the Chaos Qi were slowly wearing down the Arrow Energy, which shocked the fifth elder of the Northern State greatly. This was an arrow infused with his Lifeblood, the arrow of a Saint Treasure, yet there seemed to be something that could wear down this Arrow Energy?

"How could this be? This kid is really too monstrous!" Even the fourth elder of the Northern State couldn’t help but speak.

"Hmph, even if he’s monstrous, he can’t be my match. This Arrow Energy, which consumed my Lifeblood, is absolutely formidable!" The fifth elder of the Northern State coldly snorted, gritting his teeth.

Ye Tianchen watched as the Arrow Energy was blocked by the Chaos Qi, while the Buddhist Runes continually manifested on it, slowly eroding the power of the Arrow Energy, feeling shock in his heart. He hadn’t expected the Buddhist Scriptures to be so profound and unfathomable, giving a sense of omnipotence. Could it be that he really had an unbreakable connection with the Buddhist Sect?
