Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 139 - 137: Invincible Body

Chapter 139: Chapter 137: Invincible Body

Seeing Xiao Ye walking straight forward, Xu Yan was greatly surprised: "Could Ye Xiao really have the strength to step into that position?"

Xu Yan hesitated for a moment but still followed.

"Hmm? That kid Ye Xiao actually came too." Meng Fei, who was squatting in the rear of the crowd, saw Xiao Ye’s figure, and a hint of mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Ye walked past Meng Fei with his hands behind his back, his blue robe fluttering, continuing forward.

"What does this kid want to do?" Meng Fei was startled, his eyes widened.

At this time, other Innate Martial Artists standing at the back noticed Xiao Ye too, and their eyes flashed with a hint of cold light.

"Another one who doesn’t know his place!"

"Teach this kid a lesson, let him know the rules around here."

Suddenly, ten Innate Martial Artists stepped forward, their powerful auras pervading the air as they glared coldly at Xiao Ye.

"This way, there’s no passage!"

"If you want to compete for treasure, get in line at the back obediently, otherwise show us what you’ve got!"

Several harsh shouts resounded, causing the color to drain from the face of Xu Yan, who had followed.

Xiao Ye slightly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over those ten Innate Martial Artists, and shook his head: "If you were to see what I’m capable of, you would not be qualified."

Having said that, Xiao Ye continued walking forward without stopping.

"This kid’s courting death!"

"Get him, beat this kid to death!"

The ten furious Innate Martial Artists charged towards Xiao Ye, unleashing various combat techniques which wove together, threatening to engulf Xiao Ye’s body.

"Innate Martial Artists of the Third Realm, however many there are, it’s useless." Xiao Ye pushed out his right hand casually and directly.

A terrifying scene ensued. The void seemed to cave in under Xiao Ye’s palm, distorting the viewers’ sight.

The palm wind driven by this move was like a massive mountain, crushing the attacks of those ten people, then slamming into their bodies.

Pfft!

Pfft!

...

At the same time, those ten people’s throats sweetened as they spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and were sent flying back by the powerful palm wind, crashing into a large group of Martial Artists in front.

Hiss!

Every Martial Artist who witnessed this scene took in a cold breath, staring in awe at the still calmly striding Xiao Ye.

One palm sending ten Innate Martial Artists of the Third Realm flying—how formidable was this!

"Ye Xiao is actually so strong!" Meng Fei, who had been watching the fight, had his expression freeze over, his heart pounding, his eyeballs nearly popping out.

"Who is causing trouble here!"

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the Martial Artists in front. When they saw Xiao Ye walking towards them, their expressions subtly changed.

It was well understood that each additional competitor meant their chances of obtaining treasure would diminish greatly.

Immediately, several Martial Artists roared and pounced towards Xiao Ye.

Bang bang bang!

Xiao Ye slightly raised his hand, his Physical Body Power bursting forth, sweeping across in all directions. Those several Martial Artists couldn’t even halt Xiao Ye’s advance and were sent flying back together.

"Get lost for me!" At that moment, a middle-aged Martial Artist with a rugged face, holding a huge cleaver, slashed at Xiao Ye with the momentum to split mountains.

"Cultivation of the Fifth Realm of Innate, and you dare tell me to get lost?" Xiao Ye sneered coldly, his hand suddenly reaching out and clamping onto the middle-aged Martial Artist’s cleaver.

The middle-aged Martial Artist’s face changed dramatically, and he frantically tried to mobilize his True Qi, but he could not shake the Weapon in the slightest, instead turning his face red from the effort.

"What’s the use of keeping such a trash Weapon." Xiao Ye’s palm exerted a little force, and a terrifying Physical Body Power immediately emerged.

Crack!

The cleaver broke into countless pieces and fell to the ground.

The middle-aged Martial Artist’s complexion turned pale with fright, and he staggered backward, ultimately sitting down on the ground with a thud.

Although his Weapon was not of the Innate Level, it had been forged at a great cost, extremely tough, yet it was easily crushed by hand, what fearsome strength this was.

The crowd fell into a silent stupor, all dumbstruck.

"God, this person must have at least the Sixth Layer of Innate Realm cultivation!"

"Damn, another freak, can we still happily compete for treasure?" Many Martial Artists cursed inwardly.

As Xiao Ye advanced forward, soon only about thirty people were left standing in front of him.

They were the strongest in terms of cultivation in the field, apart from the Black Heart Elder and Ding Hao, almost all reaching the Sixth Layer of Innate Realm, occupying the most advantageous terrain.

"We can’t let this kid get ahead!"

"Right! Even if his cultivation is stronger, if we join hands, we can also blast him back!"

Those thirty people huddled together, speaking in low voices.

With the Black Heart Elder and Ding Hao suppressing them, they were already frustrated enough. Now with Xiao Ye joining the competition, it was too much for them to bear.

To gain enough treasure, they must work together to block Xiao Ye.

Thirty Innate Martial Artists’ gazes converged and then they simultaneously stepped forward, positioning themselves in front of Xiao Ye.

"Kid, we know you’re strong, but you can’t contend with us when we join forces. You’d better just step back obediently."

"Don’t force us to take action!"

...

The combined auras of thirty people shone together, shooting up into the sky, creating an overwhelming surge of power that swept across the area like a hurricane.

"Hiss, with these thirty people joining forces, they can even contend with a martial artist of the Seventh Level of Innate Realm, right? That kid is definitely at a disadvantage."

"It’s an honor to be defeated under the joint attack of thirty powerful individuals."

Many martial artists distanced themselves from the battlefield and then started whispering among themselves.

However, Xiao Ye seemed unaware of the overwhelming surge of power and continued to walk forward.

Infuriated by Xiao Ye’s disregard, the thirty Innate Martial Artists roared in unison. Vast amounts of Innate True Qi burst forth, converging into a dazzling Energy Light Column that pierced through the void and bombarded Xiao Ye.

Boom!

The Energy Light Column whipped up a violent wind, causing Xiao Ye’s robes to flutter noisily, his black hair dancing in the air, yet he did not dodge at all, allowing the Energy Light Column to strike at him.

"Is this kid seeking death?!" Everyone watching found it hard to believe their eyes.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, the Energy Light Column engulfed Xiao Ye’s figure, a terrifying wave of power rushed in all directions, stirring up gusts of wind and dust that obscured the sun and made it hard for onlookers to keep their eyes open.

When the dust settled, an upright figure emerged in everyone’s vision, his robe lifted by the fierce winds but otherwise unchanged, not even a foot had been moved.

At that moment, everyone’s expressions froze, their hearts pounding wildly.

Just with his Physical Body Power, he had withstood the strike. Such defense was truly invincible!

Indeed, after Xiao Ye’s Physical Body Power broke through to the Three Tripods, both his strength and defense increased significantly. Martial artists below the Eighth Layer of Innate Realm couldn’t even break through his physical defenses.

Invincible Body, this was indeed an invincible body!

"One joint attack and all it did was kick up some dust, not very powerful." Xiao Ye sneered with disdain, then his gaze shifted to the twenty stunned martial artists.

"What now? Do you still want to fight?"

Xiao Ye’s words snapped the twenty martial artists out of their shock, and they hurriedly shook their heads, smiling broadly as they made way.

Of course, since they couldn’t even breach Xiao Ye’s defenses, continuing the fight would be masochistic.

"Who exactly is this person?"

Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, Xiao Ye continued to advance to the very front of the line, where a dense forest of trees came into view.

"I, Xu Yan, have made it this far forward?" Xu Yan followed, somewhat dazed and feeling as if he were in a dream.

He had inadvertently made the acquaintance of an invincible martial artist like Xiao Ye, which made him feel like he had stumbled upon a massive stroke of luck.

At the very back, Meng Fei clenched his fists tightly, shocked as he watched Xiao Ye take his place at the forefront.

"He’s become this shockingly powerful! And not only did I miss the chance to get on Ye Xiao’s good side, but I also mocked and ridiculed him!" Regret and resentment filled Meng Fei’s heart, wishing he could slap himself.

If he had managed to get along with Xiao Ye, he could have been like Xu Yan, accompanying Xiao Ye to the forefront of the group, increasing his chances of getting treasured items.

But now it was too late.

...

"Black Heart Elder, and Ding Hao!"

Xiao Ye’s gaze narrowed as he saw a black-clad youth and an old man wearing a straw hat, positioned on either side of the forest, seemingly waiting for the Old Madman to emerge.

Sensing Xiao Ye’s gaze, the black-clad youth Ding Hao opened his eyes and with an indifferent wave of his hand, a ripple of Innate True Qi turned into a whip that crackled in front of Xiao Ye.

Boom! Crack! Crack!

The ground in front of Xiao Ye instantly split open, creating a trench ten meters deep.

"Do not cross this line in pursuit of the treasure, or face death! Black Heart Elder and I will throw out the unwanted items to you," said Ding Hao, before closing his eyes once more.

He had long seen Xiao Ye’s actions but in the eyes of a Heavenly Pride like himself, Xiao Ye’s strength was insignificant.

"Hehe, young fellow, you’re quite capable. Later, I’ll throw you some more unwanted treasures," the Black Heart Elder said with a sinister chuckle.

A glint of cold light flashed in Xiao Ye’s eyes upon hearing this.

These two were far too arrogant, hoarding the precious items for themselves and tossing aside what they deemed unworthy, treating him like a beggar?

"Hmph, only at the Mid Stage of the Ninth Layer of Innate Realm, yet not qualified to show off in front of me!" Xiao Ye was about to move forward when suddenly a figure burst forth from the forest.

It was an old man with hair as wild as hay and robes as ragged as a beggar’s, his dull eyes filled with confusion, and he was carrying a massive sack on his back.

"The Old Madman has come out!" The moment they saw the old man, the scene suddenly boiled with excitement.

Black Heart Elder and Ding Hao, being closest to the Old Madman, eyes burning with greed, stared fixedly at him.

"Hehe... even the Supreme Empress has deceived the masses, a cheater’s treasure, I should throw it all away, severing the past," the Old Madman smiled with a hint of madness in his cloudy eyes.

Xiao Ye, who had keen ears and sharp eyes, caught the Old Madman’s words and his body shook.

"The Supreme Empress has been fooling the masses? What does that mean?" Xiao Ye murmured to himself.

Whoosh!

At this moment, the Old Madman had already reached into the sack.

(Another update tonight!)
