Chapter 483: Spatial Turbulence

Fairy Luoxia's answer made Ye Chen's brows furrow.

"I'm already on the verge of death, yet I'm still not allowed to know the truth?"

'He couldn't understand. Could the destruction of the Qin family involve some extremely hidden matter?'

But in the end, the Qin family had just been an ordinary family. Besides Qin Ruotong, every single member of the Qin family had died, without exception.

'What could possibly be worth hiding?'

As if seeing through Ye Chen's thoughts, Fairy Luoxia said faintly, "It was Qin Ruotong. She asked me not to tell you the truth."

"I thought she had a point, so I agreed."

"What did you say?"

Ye Chen's eyes widened. 'Qin Ruotong already knows the reason for the Qin family's destruction?'

'But why wouldn't she let him, her older brother, know?'

Moreover, from Fairy Luoxia's words, it seemed Qin Ruotong had known long ago that Fairy Luoxia was coming to see him, which was why she had made such a request.

'Then did Qin Ruotong also know that Fairy Luoxia had developed the intent to kill him, to eliminate him here?'

For a moment, Ye Chen's mind was in turmoil. Countless thoughts flashed through his head, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

If he weren't so weak right now, he really would have stood up and demanded a clear answer from Fairy Luoxia.

"Do it."

Ye Chen let out a long breath.

Since Fairy Luoxia wouldn't tell him anything, there was nothing more for him to say.

"You're planning to give up?"

Fairy Luoxia's elegant brows furrowed slightly.

Behind her hazy veil, a trace of disappointment seemed to surface on her beautiful face.

"I no longer have the strength to resist. Though I'm unwilling to give up, what else can I do?"

Ye Chen said with a calm expression.

His composure in the face of death earned him a brief, appreciative glance from Fairy Luoxia.

Of course, Ye Chen wasn't telling the truth.

He hadn't actually given up, and he still had trump cards he hadn't played.

After accumulating power over this period, the Soul-Catching Lamp could once again release its Light of Dichotomy Annihilation.

Besides that, he also had pre-prepared Arrays that he could take out and use at a moment's notice.

Some of those Arrays had trapping effects that could help him escape. Others were filled with killing intent and overwhelming power. Used in coordination, they would be enough to hinder a Void Realm Cultivator for a moment or two.

The reason Ye Chen was pretending to give up was, naturally, because his enemy this time was far too powerful.

His only choice was to feign weakness and see if he could catch her off guard and turn the tables, even just a little.

As Ye Chen's voice fell, an utterly terrifying spatial power began to permeate the surroundings. As far as the eye could see, the space around them started to ripple like water, sending out concentric waves.

The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth began to boil. Ye Chen couldn't help but marvel at the sight. 'So this is the power of a Void Realm expert!'

But to Ye Chen's surprise, the overwhelming killing intent from before had vanished completely, as if it were never there.

He stared, stunned, at the graceful and captivating silhouette beside him.

"Actually, Qin Ruotong asked me for one more thing."

Fairy Luoxia looked at Ye Chen with a profound gaze. "She asked me to save you from the assassin sent by my sect."

"What did you say?" Ye Chen froze. He had been just about to use the Soul-Catching Lamp, but he never expected Fairy Luoxia to say something like this.

"In fact, I've already learned a bit about the Chaos Five Elements Body, and I have a rough idea of how to stimulate its potential."

"It's up to you whether you can seize the opportunity."

Fairy Luoxia spoke softly, her words like a gentle fragrance. "Also, I don't have time to chat. The assassin will be here any moment. I can already feel his presence."

"Why don't we just end this now?"

After this period of recovery, Ye Chen had regained a little of his strength.

He propped himself up, his eyes locked on Fairy Luoxia. "What are you planning to do?"

"What else but..."

"'Kill you!'"

BOOM!

The gentle words had barely fallen, but an utterly terrifying spatial power erupted in that instant, stirring the winds and clouds of the world!

A deep spatial rift appeared before Fairy Luoxia, and a massive suction force gushed out, threatening to swallow everything in the vicinity!

"You..." Ye Chen wanted to say more, but at that exact moment, he felt an extremely terrifying consciousness sweep over him.

That consciousness was filled with a rampant killing intent. Just by sensing it, Ye Chen's spirit was severely shaken. His already depleted Divine Soul suffered yet another slight injury.

"Ugh..." Ye Chen grunted, his head spinning.

He could no longer support his body and allowed the surging suction force to pull him into the spatial rift.

As Ye Chen's figure vanished, the spatial rift slowly sealed itself, returning everything to normal.

"Are you sure he's dead?"

Just then, a cold, sinister voice suddenly came from a distance.

A rampant killing intent filled the world, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees in an instant.

No one else present noticed the sinister voice; only Fairy Luoxia heard it loud and clear.

"The spatial turbulence is enough to easily obliterate any Cultivator below the Void Realm."

"He's only at the Divinity Transformation Realm. Even if the spatial turbulence doesn't kill him immediately, he has no way of tearing through space to return to this world."

"Do you think he could have survived?"

Fairy Luoxia said faintly.

"Heh heh..."

The sinister voice suddenly chuckled. "I was just worried there might be an accident."

"Though with the Saintess making a move, it would be hard for a kid with his abilities to survive even if he wanted to."

"But I'm still a bit puzzled. Why did you, Saintess, insist on snatching this sect-assigned mission from me?"

"It's nothing. I was just a little curious about him," Fairy Luoxia said faintly.

"Curious?" The sinister voice took on a playful tone.

"That's right."

"I thought that as Saintess Qin's older brother, he would have outstanding cultivation talent just like her, and that there might be many unusual things about him."

"Unfortunately, the result was a bit disappointing."

"He was just a run-of-the-mill person."

Fairy Luoxia replied, her expression blank.

"Is that so..."

The sinister voice fell silent for a moment before continuing, "Fine. Since the mission is complete, I'll be on my way."

Within spatial turbulence, even a Divine Might Realm expert would face certain death, let alone Ye Chen, who was severely wounded, on the verge of death, and only at the Divinity Transformation Realm!

Fairy Luoxia knew that her previous actions were enough to dispel anyone's doubts.
