Chapter 289: Chapter 286 Something Better than Green Spirit Jade

"Sir, don’t you think your hand has reached out a bit too far?" Guardian Wu’s eyes, chilly and dark, fixed on Ye Zhen who descended from the sky, while a glance at the sword scars on the ground revealed a flicker of surprise in his gaze.

Leaving everything else aside, the fact that he shattered his Fire Flame Fist Seal with a single strike indicated that he was no ordinary foe.

With a light flick of his finger, a Spiritual Gang meteor shot out, forcing the aggressive swordsman to clear a path for Uncle Liu, who had been injured all over. Uncle Liu immediately hurried over like a whirlwind, helping up Young Master Yu Ning, who had fallen to the ground from shock, not even minding the blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Young Master, how are you?"

"Uncle Liu, I... I’m okay, but Uncle Zhou, he..."

"Ah..."

Letting out a pained exclamation, Uncle Liu helped Yu Ning to his feet, and together, they bowed to Ye Zhen, saying, "We thank this hero for coming to our aid."

But Ye Zhen’s gaze was on Guardian Wu, "Will you leave on your own, or shall I make you?"

"Presumptuous!"

"Damn, a mere Spirit Transformation Realm First Stage brat dares to be so arrogant. I’ll be the one to..."

"Shut up!"

As the aggressive swordsman began to rage, Guardian Wu shouted sharply, his fierce demeanor shocking the swordsman into a momentary, stuttering silence, "Guardian Wu, this guy is just at the First Stage of Spirit Transformation Realm, why should we..."

"You don’t know shit!"

"Sir, this is a family matter of the Yu Family. Please don’t interfere. We will make sure to send a token of gratitude afterwards," Guardian Wu said, his eyes full of wariness when looking at Ye Zhen.

There was a reason for his caution: Ye Zhen was simply too young.

By the looks of it, he definitely wouldn’t be over twenty years old.

A martial artist in the Spirit Transformation Realm under the age of twenty was a concept of a genius, someone utterly beyond the reach of martial artists like them in the same realm.

Among martial artists, in most cases, the younger the age with the same level of cultivation, the stronger the individual. It’s a peculiar yet normal phenomenon.

Reaching the Spirit Transformation Realm at a young age could be due to several factors: possessing an astounding innate bloodline was one of them. However, even an astounding bloodline wouldn’t be enough on its own; one would also need high-grade martial arts cultivation techniques, a skilled mentor, and an abundance of cultivation resources—none of these elements could be lacking.

Typically, in such cases, younger martial artists would learn the top martial skills among their peers and have the most privileged access to resources.

However, for martial artists like Guardian Wu, who had to struggle and fight their way up, it was a different story.

When they were young, the Spirit Transformation Realm seemed unreachable, and after losing support from their sects or families, they wandered the world. After decades, when their long accumulation paid off and with a dash of luck, they barely managed to step into the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Yet in comparison to young martial artists with sect backing, whether in terms of cultivation techniques, martial skills, or equipment, they were left far behind. Just like Protector Liu himself, who toiled until the age of forty before entering the Spirit Transformation Realm.

After more than a decade of further hardship and a stroke of great fortune, he obtained a mid-grade Earth Level martial skill, which became his means of making a living.

Yet compared to the disciples of a sect, the difference was vast.

Over a year ago, he had crossed hands with a disciple of the Phantom Divine Sect who was at the Third Stage of Spirit Transformation Realm. The opponent had casually revealed several mid-grade Earth Level martial skills and easily defeated him.

Ever since then, Guardian Wu had become extra cautious, preferring not to provoke young and powerful martial artists whenever possible.

"It seems you still haven’t understood my words!"

Ye Zhen sighed lightly, "I’m giving you three breaths’ time. Leave or die!"

"Sir, one should always leave room for maneuver. Don’t be too arrogant, and don’t think we are afraid of you..."

"You little bastard, you’re courting death!"

Already feeling indignant, the aggressive swordsman bellowed in anger, drawing his sword and slashing with it, sending a Sword Gang dozens of meters long whistling through the air!

"Kill!"

Almost simultaneously, Guardian Wu, realizing the futility of further negotiation, roared in anger. His Fire Flame Fist Seal, like floating ghost fire, headed towards Ye Zhen, while his two associates also pounced at the same moment.

"Young Master, run! I’ll hold these guys off with this hero. Quick, flee..."

Protector Liu, while urging Yu Ning to escape, suddenly looked stunned.

He saw a whirlwind-like Sword Light pass by, whirling like a wheel, not only instantly quenching the aggressive swordsman’s Sword Gang but also shattering the sword in his hand into pieces. The man himself was pierced with countless holes by the Sword Light in a blink.

"Take care, hero!"

Suddenly, when he saw Guardian Wu’s Fire Flame Fist Seal imprint on its target, Protector Liu cried out in warning.

As if deaf to the voice, Ye Zhen let Guardian Wu’s Fire Flame Fist Seal strike his own back, or more precisely, the Green Jade Spirit Armor on his back. Without hesitation, Ye Zhen struck back with his sword, instantly killing another martial artist at the First Stage of Spirit Transformation Realm.

Shh, shh!

The Fire Flame Fist Seal, carrying intense heat, imprinted fiercely onto Ye Zhen’s back, or to be accurate, onto the Green Jade Spirit Armor on his back.

"Die!"

A cruel smile appeared on Guardian Wu’s lips.

But in the next instant, that smile froze, his eyes filled with horror as if he had seen a ghost.

It wasn’t just Guardian Wu who looked as if they’d seen a ghost, but even Protector Liu’s eyes were filled with incredible surprise.

Guardian Wu’s Fire Flame Fist Seal had previously incinerated the Protective Spirit Force of Zhou Xiong, who was a Second Stage of Spirit Transformation Realm and specialized in defense, killing Zhou Xiong outright.

But now, when the Fire Flame Fist Seal hit the Green Jade Spirit Armor, the flames simply extinguished, and not a crack or ripple appeared on Ye Zhen’s Green Jade Spirit Armor.

"""

This situation was also beyond Ye Zhen’s expectation.

However, in a flash, Ye Zhen understood the mystery behind it. The Shattered Jade Scripture stated that Green Jade Spiritual Power is also an attribute spiritual power; it is not only immune to the restraint of the Five Elements Spiritual Power, but it also has a certain restraining power over Fire Spiritual Power, Water Spiritual Power, and Wood Spiritual Power.

The Fire Flame Fist Seal extinguished immediately upon touching the Green Jade Spirit Armor, which must be due to the restraining effect of Green Jade Spiritual Power on Fire Spiritual Power. But Ye Zhen had not anticipated that this restraint would be so strong.

"Damn it, what the hell! Take this!"

After exclaiming, Guardian Wu feinted a move and turned to flee.

He had no choice but to run; his proud Fire Spirit Power was utterly restrained by someone else’s power, even more so than Water Spiritual Power, and moreover, Ye Zhen had killed two Martial Artists in the Spirit Transformation Realm with just two strikes of his sword.

Others might not know, but the combat power of that fierce swordsman was something he was very clear about; Guardian Wu understood he had encountered a freakishly tough opponent.

"Thinking of escaping?"

As Ye Zhen’s hand opened, the moment the Profound Yang Sword hovered in front of his chest, his ten fingers flickered like butterflies through flowers, forming a strange hand seal. Green Jade Spiritual Power surged wildly, immediately condensing into a small seal.

"Go!"

"Suppress!"

With a flash of light, the Green Jade Seal flew above Guardian Wu’s head. As it lightly descended, the brilliance intensified.

Pfft!

Taken completely by surprise, Guardian Wu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and fell directly to the ground as if crushed by a small mountain.

"Explode!"

"Bang!"

The Green Jade Seal burst open like fireworks, the exploding Green Jade Spiritual Power sent ripples through the air as though it was boiling.

Guardian Wu’s Protective Spirit Force melted away like snow on hot soup, but his Acquired Spiritual Body, cultivated to Small Success, saved his life. After the exploding power of the Green Jade Seal blew open the flesh on Guardian Wu’s back, its strength dissipated.

However, even though he wasn’t dead, Guardian Wu was as good as dead; without Ye Zhen having to take action, Uncle Liu stepped forward and crushed Guardian Wu’s skull.

Meanwhile, the other Martial Artist in the Third Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm had seized the opportunity to escape promptly after witnessing the fierce swordsman being killed by a strike of Ye Zhen’s sword. By now, he had already vanished from Ye Zhen’s sight.

"This Green Jade Seal is powerful enough indeed! But it also consumes a lot, a single Green Jade Seal has drawn away thirty percent of my Green Jade Spiritual Power. Mainly though, it’s because my cultivation is too weak; currently, my cultivation technique is only at the late stage of the Green Spirit Realm, and my Cultivation is at the late first stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm,

If I cultivate it to the peak of the Green Spirit Realm, not only will my Cultivation be able to break through to the Second Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, but also using this Green Jade Seal will become much easier...."

This was the first time Ye Zhen had used the Green Jade Seal in real combat with a Martial Artist, and he was quite satisfied with its power.

Looking at Guardian Wu, who died by his hand, Uncle Liu appeared somewhat dazed. Then, pulling over Young Master Yu Ning, he once again thanked Ye Zhen, "Thank you, sir, for your rescue. Our Yu Family of Jade Water Lake is deeply grateful." While speaking, he kept gesturing with his eyes towards Yu Ning.

Taken aback for a moment, Yu Ning finally realized what was going on. With a flash of light from his storage ring, a large pile of Green Spirit Jade, twinkling with Spirit Light, appeared in front of Ye Zhen.

"Esteemed sir, I see that the spiritual power you practice seems to be from the Jade Spirit Power lineage. You must need Green Spirit Jade, right? Here are ten thousand pieces of Green Spirit Jade, a small token of our appreciation. Please accept it, sir."

Hearing this, Uncle Liu breathed a sigh of relief. The young master may not understand the dangers of the world, but was still very perceptive.

"You noticed too?"

Ye Zhen glanced at Yu Ning and unceremoniously accepted the ten thousand pieces of Green Spirit Jade—equivalent to ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals, which was enough for Ye Zhen to cultivate for almost ten days.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Do you think I love to meddle in other’s business? That I would actively help you kill your enemies? If it wasn’t that I found out you also cultivated Jade Spirit Power, huh!"

In truth, even if Yu Ning did not cultivate Jade Spirit Power, Ye Zhen would have intervened. But normally, as long as people like Guardian Wu didn’t provoke Ye Zhen, he would definitely not kill them.

When Ye Zhen was approaching earlier, he saw Yu Ning channeling his Jade Spirit Power, which unexpectedly gave Ye Zhen a sense of affinity. That’s what led to Ye Zhen’s statement just now.

"I... I also noticed that you practice the rare Jade Spirit Power..." Yu Ning stammered in nervousness in front of Ye Zhen, which made Ye Zhen feel a bit amused.

"Your Yu Family of Jade Water Lake? What relation do you have with Jade Water City? By the way, how do I get to Jade Water City?" Ye Zhen suddenly remembered this.

"There’s no special relationship, it’s just that we have our Yu Family’s main business in Jade Water City...."

While Yu Ning was still puzzled, Uncle Liu, being astute, quickly made a connection based on the Jade Spirit Power that Ye Zhen cultivated.

"Are you heading to Jade Water City to purchase Green Spirit Jade?" Uncle Liu asked.

"Exactly!"

Making such a deduction from his practice of Jade Spirit Power and his inquiries about the way to Jade Water City was normal.

"Do you know, sir, that more than sixty percent of the Green Spirit Jade and other jade goods sold in the whole Jade Water City are provided by our Yu Family of Jade Water Lake."

"Oh?"

"Sir, I have a rather presumptuous request!"

"Speak!"

"I would like to ask the sir to escort our Young Master back to the Yu Family of Jade Water Lake. Upon arrival, the Family Head will surely offer a generous gift. Moreover, the Yu Family of Jade Water Lake has better things than Green Spirit Jade!"

Uncle Liu, with his vast experience, went straight for Ye Zhen’s weak spot with his request.

"Better things than Green Spirit Jade?"

Ye Zhen’s lips curled at the comment; just based on that statement, he was in on the job! (To be continued.
