You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 540 - 251: The Mortal World, Further Defiled

Chapter 540: Chapter 251: The Mortal World, Further Defiled

Even capable of things some divine weapons cannot achieve, like opening the Celestial Gate!

"These lunatics!"

Xuanwu cursed, feeling even more indignant inside, "Wait, since you’ve seen through their plan, aren’t you planning to intervene to stop it?"

"..."

"Why aren’t you saying anything?"

"This is a necessary sacrifice."

Cyan Dragon said impassively.

Among the Four Great Divine Generals of the Divine Strategy Army, Cyan Dragon held the highest status, not because his combat power was the strongest, but because he took on a brain-like role, bearing the heavy burden of analysis and decision-making.

Thus, any decision he made had to prioritize the continuation of the Dongji Kingdom and even the entire human civilization.

For this ultimate goal, everything could be sacrificed, including himself.

Xuanwu felt deeply uneasy; after all, the Imperial Capital was his hometown, and he naturally did not wish for a large-scale divine war to erupt here.

Because that would mean that all over 21 million people in the Imperial Capital would face unimaginable suffering.

"Cyan Dragon, what exactly are you planning?"

"Don’t ask. Your task now is to protect the seeds of our future resistance in the Dongji Kingdom. The martial prodigies emerging from this year’s ’National Martial Competition’ have already exhausted Blue Star’s last spiritual mechanism. We can no longer afford to lose."

...

As soon as he returned to the hotel, Ye Qingzhou received a call from Yingyue: "My lord, make sure to sleep early tonight."

"I know."

Clearly, this was a code word.

Ye Qingzhou took out the Celestial Punishment, Flame Emperor, and Flying Frost, asking these divine weapons to guard him. He then performed the art of Divine Traveling in the Void, letting his yin spirit emerge and traverse a thousand miles back home.

Moments later, Ye Qingzhou "woke up" at the Linjiang Water Pavilion.

At this moment, he was possessing the armored puppet crafted from the body of the martial arts grandmaster Wu Tianxi, which he had named Absolute Sword No. 3.

"As expected of a grandmaster-level physique, capable of completely withstanding the power of the Profound Gold Qilin Arm’s evil qi."

Ye Qingzhou quickly became familiar with the new combat puppet, and by enhancing it with the Armor Folding Technique, its combat power even exceeded that of its original form by a significant margin.

"My lord."

Yingyue handed over the reforged Black Shark Sword and the Emperor’s Sword Longyuan, which had been deliberately left at home earlier, to Ye Qingzhou: "Would you like me to accompany you on this journey?"

"There’s no need."

Ye Qingzhou shook his head: "The risks of this mission are unpredictable, and even though you are a Martial Saint, you should not personally take such risks. As for me, it’s just a puppet body, a loss I can afford."

Then, Ye Qingzhou bade farewell to Yingyue: "Take care at home. I’ll be back soon."

"Okay."

Under the cover of night, Absolute Sword No. 3, clad in a black cloak and carrying twin swords, swept through the moonlit sky, quickly reaching the outskirts of the Jiuli Grotto Heaven, where he met at a predetermined location.

By the time Ye Qingzhou arrived, someone was already there.

The person was highly vigilant, and upon sensing someone descending from above, immediately placed a hand on their sword hilt, "Who!?"

"It’s me."

After landing, Ye Qingzhou’s indifferent gaze swept across the five people present, finally resting on the Rain Master: "As agreed, I’m here."

"Where’s Longyuan?"

"Right here."

Ye Qingzhou raised the Emperor’s Sword Longyuan in his hand. The sword spirit in its complete form radiated dazzling sword light, and its sword body was designed as extravagantly as a divine dragon soaring in the heavens.

At this moment, the Emperor’s Sword Longyuan had altered its form, entirely unlike its usual appearance, so even Yun Yan, who had seen Ye Qingzhou wield it before, did not recognize it as his sword.

A significant number of experts were sent by the Heart Evil Stream this time, including the Rain Master, Duann Ming, Yun Yan, and a female martial arts master named Jiang Lin.

With his Celestial Eye, Ye Qingzhou easily saw through Yun Yan’s disguise as Yun Suiliu, but what surprised him even more was that the fifth team member was the long-missing Hee Wenjie!

"The last remnant of the Hee Family?"

Ye Qingzhou perceived that Hee Wenjie’s strength had reached the Half-Step Master Realm, a progression speed far surpassing the martial arts prodigies of the ’National Martial Competition’ across various provinces.

However, faster isn’t always better, especially in martial arts cultivation; to truly build a towering edifice, the foundation must be solid and robust.

Otherwise, an unstable foundation makes a tall building prone to collapse.

Upon close inspection, Ye Qingzhou saw that Hee Wenjie’s primordial qi was indeed unstable and his body had already exhausted its potential. In this lifetime, he was likely to be stuck at this level, with no hope of reaching the Master Realm.

"Now that everyone is here, we should set off."

After Rain Master spoke, he took out a token as red as blood, inscribed with the word "戦" in Oracle Bone Script, exuding an indomitable aura.

The Heaven-Fighting Emperor’s Order! 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

With this token, Rain Master could bypass the officially controlled Teleportation Array to enter Jiuli Grotto Heaven directly.

The Hundred Battles Emperor’s Cave, standing here once more, Ye Qingzhou couldn’t help but feel emotional.

As Rain Master triggered several hidden mechanisms, a seemingly bottomless pit appeared before them.

"Let’s go."

Rain Master took the lead and jumped into the dark tunnel below, and Ye Qingzhou followed silently, leaping down.

In the group, Hee Wenjie gritted his teeth, and under the watchful eyes of Duann Ming and Jiang Lin, courageously followed suit.

However, in his heart, he was secretly praying: ’Damn it, Bai Yuanhu, you better not screw me over! Otherwise, I’ll haunt you even from the grave!’

Hee Wenjie’s heart was bitter. Ever since his family was in trouble, Bai Yuanhu had erased all of his identity information and sent him undercover into the Heart Evil Stream, successfully infiltrating Rain Master’s side.
