Chapter 227: Blood Sun Flower
Translator: Sheryl Editor: Hitesh
“Who are you, sir?” The elder looked at the sword mark on the ground. His eyes
caught Ye Chen who was floating towards them. He did not seem to fully trust
this stranger.
Midair, Ye Chen’s right hand reached out then pulled back, attracting that
teenager in black out of that circle created by those five people, and making
him land behind him.
Uncle Zhou was still looking at Ye Chen. He looked confused, wiping the blood
from the corner of his mouth, “Are you ok, Master Snake?”
The teenager in black shook his head.
Seeing the teenager in black had been snatched out of their control, the elder
suddenly looked furious. Ye Chen’s movement was too fast and unexpected, so
he did not have a chance to react. Right now, he yelled, “I do not care who you
are. Turn over that brat! Otherwise, next year today will be the ceremony of
your death.”
Ye Chen said, “I will give you three breaths time… piss off!”
“Little brat! You are looking for death! I will take care of you now!”
The skinny looking middle-aged man, who was the closest to Ye Chen, yelled.
His zhen Qi suddenly exploded, as his body turned into lightning. He took out
his blade, and the blade light brightened a huge area.
Without even taking out his sword, Ye Chen formed his right hand into a fist,
throwing out an attack casually.
The blade light was shattered instantly. The long blade in that middle-aged
man’s hand suddenly exploded, as thousands of small chips shot out in every
direction. Then, his brutal fist power appeared with an unstoppable aura. All of
a sudden, the middle-aged man felt that it was not a fist anymore, and was a
huge mountain instead; a huge mountain traveling at a horrifying speed.
BOOM!
After being hit by that fist power, the middle-aged man could not handle the
force. His right arm along with the right side of his body had been ruined,
blood pouring out of his body ceaselessly. It seemed like he would not survive
this.
“It was not a normal mid-rank Earth Realm Fist art after all. I have only
mastered the entry level of the first movement, but it already has such power.”
When he was training his Five Mountain Godly Fist Art, Ye Chen had not
fought against someone with it yet. He had only used the training column to
determine the growth of his power. Right then, he could already kill a peak-
level Mid Clasping Yuan Realm warrior with only one casual fist power. It
made him realize that two hundred and ten thousand low-rank soul stones
were worth it after all. Judging from its power, it would not be much weaker
than a top rank Earth Realm martial art.
Seeing what had happened, the elder looked more and more serious and evil,
“You three, go! Be careful!”
“Yes, sir!”
Master Liu and that two buff-looking men attacked Ye Chen at the same time.
The first one who threw the attack was Master Liu. As a Late Clasping Yuan
Realm warrior, his power was indeed at least two times more powerful than
the skinny middle-aged man. He seemed to have more battle experience than
the other ones as well. He stepped on the ground with all his power, as some
secret power exploded, forming a huge pile of mud attacking towards Ye Chen.
Meanwhile, he opened his mouth, reached out his right hand while his zhen Qi
formed a huge snake head. Its huge mouth was opened as well, its tongue
poking out, preparing for an attack.
“What a weird martial art.”
Ye Chen squeezed his eyes. His body flashed, avoiding that huge pile of mud, he
threw a punch to face Master Liu’s attacks.
The snakehead was shattered while Master Liu puked out a huge chunk of
blood. However, he was not blown away easily. His body tilted, as a sharp zhen
qi snake tail appeared on his back, covered in scales and its tip bent into a
hook. Shoo! It attacked towards Ye Chen’s chest in a flash.
Ye Chen was still extremely calm as if nothing had happened. He lifted up his
left index finger and pointed into the sky.
Boom!
The zhen qi snake tail exploded.
“Snake Scale Arm!”
While the two were fighting against each other, one of the huge men ran
towards them at full speed. The clothes on his right arm were torn apart, as
small scales appeared on his skin. Those scales were not formed by zhen qi.
They were really actual scales, each one of them human nail sized, angled on
the edges and having a cold shine. Seeing these scales, the first thing that
popped into Ye Chen’s head was ‘snake.' It seemed like all of the Wang family
martial arts were related to snakes. However, this huge man in front of Ye
Chen was even more exaggerated, growing actual snake scale on his human
body. Even for Ye Chen, it was something he had never heard of or seen before.
It was even different from the beast transformation martial arts that Ghost
was using.
After kicking away Master Liu, Ye Chen lifted up his hand and grabbed the
huge man’s fist that was full of scales.
“Snake Wrapping Kill!”
Suddenly, that huge man’s fist acted just like the snakehead, his arm turned
into the snake’s body. After slightly twisting it, his fist escaped from Ye Chen’s
palm, then wrapped all the way up Ye Chen’s arm. It straightened itself, as one
punch had been thrown out.
“So creepy and bizarre! It’s like he does not have bones anymore.” Taking one
step back, Ye Chen’s right fist was thrown out with bright yellow halo while his
opponent had just thrown out an attack and his power had still not recharged
yet.
Crack!
That huge man’s right arm which seemed to be boneless started to make
bone-cracking noises as he screamed and flew away.
Among the three, the remaining huge man had increased the distance between
him and Ye Chen. He bent his body, pressed both hands on the ground, and
yelled with all his power, “Mad Snake Dance!”
Boom!
There seemed to be countless huge poisonous snakes ready to burst out from
the ground. Once they burst out, Ye Chen would have been drowned in that
snake wave and eventually burn out of energy.
A smile climbed up the corner of Ye Chen. The fist power of the Five Mountain
Godly Fist Art contained natural earth element power. Under the ground, even
if it were zhen qi from high-rank earth realm martial arts, it would not be as
powerful as that fist power.
“Condensing Five Mountain Power, break!”
Bending his body, Ye Chen threw out a punch, making his fist sink into the
ground.
This attack had created a much larger impact than that huge looking man. A
few hundred meters’ radius of land seemed to have had an earthquake. It
shook drastically while the air seemed to have gotten less pure, creating an
illusion that the sky was no longer sky and the ground was no longer ground.
A halo-like yellow light wave started to spread out and attack towards the
huge man visibly, which blew the latter into the sky as he puked out a huge
chunk of blood.
“Young warrior, be careful!”
All of a sudden, Zhou’s voice alerted Ye Chen, his voice extra hurried.
“Haha, too late. Being wrapped by my snake king, no matter what kind of tricks
you have got up your sleeves, you would be shredded into mincemeat with no
bones left.” The elder who had kept quiet had both of his hands crossed in
front of him. An extra cold zhen Qi accumulated around Ye Chen, then
eventually turned into a huge snake with black scales. It was a bucket thick,
with two heads. Its top part had been raised up high into the sky, while the
lower part still hidden in the ground. Its body had been twisting circles after
circles, wrapping Ye Chen within. Right then, the huge snake’s body twisted,
tightening up space in between, trying to squeeze Ye Chen to death.
Zhou’s face could not get paler. No matter if it was a normal snake or demonic
beast, it was the trickiest attack because no matter how powerful one was, once
wrapped within the snake tails even being able to use thirty percent of one’s
power would be already impressive.
The teenager in black was also worried about Ye Chen.
“Sorry, I was only playing before.”
Taking out his Star Scar Sword, with the enhancement of his sword intent, Ye
Chen threw out a sword attack.
Swoosh!
The huge zhen qi snake with black scales had been cut apart. Ye Chen walked
out from it casually and effortlessly, as he looked at the elder with a slight
smile.
“What? Go!”
The elder was shocked, both of his hands thrown into the sky again as he
started to do some kind of weird gestures. That black scaled snake that was in
halves suddenly grew heads and tails, turning into two huge snakes. They
attacked towards Ye Chen, trying to wrap around him again.
“Cut!”
Ye Chen did not even look at those snakes. He threw a sword attack at the
elder.
The elder’s body suddenly froze. The next second, it was separated into two
halves, blood spilling everywhere.
“Run!”
Master Liu and the other two huge men could not care about anything else but
their escape. After all, the most powerful warrior among them all had been
killed, what else could they do? As long as they made it back to the main family
in the Star Region Lake, there would be people to take care of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen shook his head. Since he had already killed two, another three would
not make much of a difference. Moreover, they all looked quite evil, who would
only do something bad if they escaped.
Three sword qi attack disappeared, leaving only three dead bodies behind.
Zhou froze for a while. When he realized what had happened, he hurried to
grab the teenager in black and walked over to Ye Chen, as he said respectfully,
“Thank you for saving our lives, young warrior. Master Snake and I could not
say that with greater sincerity.”
Putting away the Star Scar Sword, Ye Chen said, “Don’t worry about it. I was
only feeling like doing it.”
“Young warrior’s spontaneous decision still saved our lives. I did not have
much to offer, but please take this.” Zhou took a palm-sized flower out of his
storage ring. It was in the shape of a fan, with its bottom being red, and its all
three petals being yellow.
“Blood Sun Flower!” Ye Chen was planning to decline his offer, but once he saw
the flower, he could not help but yell out. The Blood Sun Flower was a spirit
plant that was not that common, normally growing in places full of pure yang
qi. It had a lot of effects but mainly helped in repairing blood and flesh. This
Blood Sun Power was palm sized, one-thirds of it being red, which meant it
had grown for at least three hundred years. One thousand years Blood Sun
Flower would be all red, like a piece of red jade.
Although the three hundred-year-old Blood Sun Flower was not as good as the
thousand-year-old Ganoderma Lucidum, it was still better than nothing. Later
on, when he mastered the Minor Blood Demon Art, it would allow him to
release one full arm.
“In that case, I will take it.” Ye Chen did not refuse. He did save their lives after
all, so sit was reasonable for him to take it.
Taking the Blood Sun Flower, Ye Chen asked, “Are you going to the Star Region
Lake?”
Zhou nodded, “We are going to the Wang family in the Star Region Late, which
is located on the Snake Island. It will still be a half a month journey I assume.”
‘The Wang Family?’
Ye Chen had never heard about it. But it was not weird since the Star Region
Lake did not belong to any of the nations. It was millions of miles squared in
area, and there must be a lot of martial institutions and families.
“Young warrior, are you heading to the Star Region Lake as well?” Uncle Zhou
looked at Ye Chen with high hopes. After what had happened, he was sure that
there were people from the main family who did not want his master to inherit
the family power. With his own power, he knew that he would not be able to
protect his master for sure. If Ye Chen were there to help him, that would be
great.
Ye Chen nodded, “It is not impossible for me to guard you two to the Star
Region Lake. I just want to know where the Blood Sun Flowers grow?”
Zhou was really happy when he heard Ye Chen, he said, “Our Black Valley Wang
Family is famous for our Blood Sun Flower. However, because of the
environmental problems, the growth of the Blood Sun Flower could never go
beyond three hundred years. But the main family in the Star Region Lake
should also have plenty of Blood Sun Flowers since we are the same family. If
you don’t mind, young warrior, once we get to the Star Region Late, the master
and I will try to get you some more of those Blood Sun Flowers.”
“Then it would be perfect. If it is really expensive, I could buy it myself with
soul stones.” Ye Chen was not in lack of soul stones at all. A couple of thousand
year blood sunflowers were still affordable. But he wondered if there were
actually thousand-year-old blood sunflowers.
“This bro, my name is Wang Snake. Are you a Late Clasping Yuan Realm
warrior?” The teenager in black said with admiration.
Ye Chen laughed, “No, not yet. Mid Clasping Yuan Realm.”
“So powerful already?! You must be one of the top geniuses from the South
Rudra Region.” Wang Snake was even more impressed. He was only fifteen
years old, and he had just reached the Late Condensing Reality Realm a while
ago. He did not have the power to fight back when facing Clasping Yuan Realm
warriors. Therefore, when the main family asked him to inherit some great
power, he did not hesitate to decide to go, even though his dad had tried his
best to stop him.
Ye Chen did not answer. He was exactly like Wang Snake when he was at his
age, and in fact was not even as powerful as him. Plus, what was different with
Wang Snake was that there were a lot of secrets about him. That five headed
tattoo gave people a terrifying vibe. Normal people would not be able to sense
it at all. Only he with his soul power would sense it clearly.
It had made him think of the martial arts those evil men from the main family
had used, which seemed to be related to the five headed snake tattoo. Ye Chen
knew that this Wang Family in the Star Region Lake would not be easy.

The skinny looking middle-aged man, who was the closest to Ye Chen, yelled.
