Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 865 - 864: Thousand Layer Palm

Hearing Chu Ming's words, Hong Yanlie smiled indifferently, then said coldly, "Even though you don't know me, and I don't wish to kill you, blame it on yourself for provoking someone you shouldn't have!"

At this moment, the commotion in the inn attracted the attention of countless martial artists, and many martial artists began to gather around, surrounding the entire inn in multiple layers.

"Look, that's Young Master Hong Yanlie! Judging from his aura, he should be close to the Third Layer of the Emperor Dao!"

"Who is that young man across from him? Though his presence isn't weak, his face is unfamiliar. I've never seen him before!"

"I heard from people in the inn that the young man in the red robe is called Chu Ming, but I'm not sure why he provoked Young Master Hong Yanlie. Now, Young Master Hong Yanlie intends to kill him right here!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, daring to provoke Young Master Hong Yanlie on Pegasus Star, it's like an old man hanging himself—courting death!"

"However, that Chu Ming is also a Sealed King Level prodigy. It's unrealistic for Young Master Hong Yanlie to want to kill him!"

"Just by looking at you, I can tell you're not a local of Pegasus Star. Half a year ago, a Blade Master named Zhao Huan, also a Sealed King Level prodigy, provoked Young Master Hong Yanlie and was publicly killed in the cultivation area, shocking the entire Pegasus Star."

"Although Chu Ming is also a Sealed King Level prodigy, among the Sealed King Level prodigies, there are distinctions of strength, and Young Master Hong Yanlie is undoubtedly among the top, putting Chu Ming in danger today!"

A crowd of martial artists looked up and pointed around, it was quite lively, but almost more than ninety percent didn't think highly of Chu Ming.

"Has Hong Yanlie really killed a Sealed King Level prodigy before?"

Chu Ming frowned. After refining the Cold Light Sword, his combat power had increased by more than tenfold, reaching the limit of a Sealed King Level prodigy. Even if Hong Yanlie had killed such prodigies before, Chu Ming wasn't afraid, but what troubled him was that Hong Yanlie was the son of the Great Island Master of Black Rock Island.

"I'll leave Pegasus Star immediately afterwards!"

Chu Ming thought to himself. As for the person Hong Yanlie mentioned not to provoke, Chu Ming figured it was related to saving the Guo Family, since his only interaction since leaving the Celestial Martial Continent was with the Guo Family.

"Heh heh heh, next, feel what true despair is like!"

Hong Yanlie smiled coldly, spreading his arms, bending his fingers in a dragon-capturing stance, terrifying gusts of wind swept around, roaring.

Rumble!

A massive hand of spiritual power pressed down directly from mid-air, the space trembling with faint signs of breaking apart.

"Scram!"

A dazzling cold light swept out from Chu Ming's hand, like a star streaking across the sky, and in an instant, it clashed with the massive hand of spiritual power.

Boom!

Crack!

The dazzling and cold Sword Light collided with the massive hand of spiritual power, terrifying madness engulfing the starry sky. The closer it was to the center of the cosmos, the more stable the space became, unlike the Celestial Martial Continent where Life and Death Realm kings could tear the void.

On Pegasus Star, only experts of the Fifth and Sixth Layers of the Emperor Dao could barely tear the void, while on Celestial Net Star, perhaps only Saint Dao experts had a slight chance of doing so.

Swish!

The gusts bombarded both sides, and Hong Yanlie in his yellow robe leisurely retreated, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"I didn't expect, I underestimated you, you are much stronger than Zhao Huan back then!"

"Unfortunately, I'm not the same as I was back then. Now if I meet someone like Zhao Huan, I can take on ten of them at once!"

Hong Yanlie's face was filled with excitement as he arrogantly spoke to Chu Ming.

Boom!

"You talk too much!"

A flash of light from Chu Ming's right hand brought forth the Cold Light Sword, instantly lowering the surrounding temperature by several degrees, layers of thin ice forming on the ground.

Swish!

An extremely fast Sword Light flowed from the void, arriving in front of Hong Yanlie in an instant.

"You're not the only one with an Imperial Artifact!"

Boom!

Hong Yanlie's hands burst out with blazing light, resembling two massive suns, dazzling beyond measure.

This is the Lower Grade Imperial Artifact gloves—Yang Flame Gloves!

Boom!

Hong Yanlie lightly pressed down with his arms, and suddenly it was as if a terrifying wave of Palm Power crashed down from his hands, like an Ancient Divine Mountain crashing down.

Crack!

Chu Ming's Sword Light shattered directly, turning into countless sword fragments.

Boom, boom, boom!

Chu Ming stepped forward with his right foot, his body lunging forward, the four Flowers of Slaughter Law blooming on his right arm, his Golden Level martial will bursting forth, the splendid light from the Cold Light Sword in his hand almost immediately smashing towards Hong Yanlie.

"Four Flowers of Law?"

Hong Yanlie extended his right hand, looking slightly dazed at Chu Ming's right arm, but his reaction was not slow, his right palm lightly smashing, seemingly soft but causing countless ripples in the space.

"Thousand Layer Palm!"

Rumble!

Palm Forces overlapped and surged, like roaring waves of the sea, violently agitating the space, forcing the crowd around the inn to retreat.

Boom, boom, boom!

Crack!

The Sword Aura ripped, and Palm Forces mixed with immense power surged towards Chu Ming, giving him a headache. If he had learned the Infinite Sword Body, suppressing Hong Yanlie would be easy, but for now, his strongest martial arts was only the Floating Blood.

Swish!

"Floating Blood!"

Boom!

A radiant red light burst forth from the Cold Light Sword like a meteor across the sky, marking the first time Chu Ming used Floating Blood after breaking through to the Emperor Realm, the addition of four Flowers of Slaughter Law making its destructive power terrifying.

Boom, boom, boom!

Rumble!

Sonic booms echoed in the sky, as the crowd around retreated, raising dust that obscured their vision.

The red Sword Aura was unstoppable, slicing the layers of Palm Force, and on Hong Yanlie's right arm, three blossoming Flame Law Flowers now appeared, with a fourth beginning to form, yet still inferior to Chu Ming's fourth Flower of Slaughter Law.

Boom!

As Floating Blood arrived, Hong Yanlie hurled a palm skyward, deflecting the Floating Blood Sword Aura, and his figure gracefully retreated hundreds of meters.

Thud, thud, thud...

The Floating Blood Sword Aura skimmed past Hong Yanlie's side, crashing into a pharmacy behind him, reducing it to ruins, rubble and dust scattering.

"Impossible, you can't be this strong!!!"

Forced back by Chu Ming's strike, Hong Yanlie's demeanor was extremely unstable, unable to resist angrily roaring at Chu Ming.

His figure was swift, both palms transforming into two terrifying suns, pressing towards Chu Ming, immense and powerful, even a Fifth Layer of the Emperor Dao expert would be heavily injured under this blow.

Boom!

Chu Ming raised his Cold Light Sword, and instantly a terrifying Sword Aura burst forth, meeting Hong Yanlie's strike.
