Supreme Devouring God

Chapter 1816: Taoist Thousand Bamboo

"Get lost!"

Qin Chen saw Qin Qi charging toward him and immediately roared, his voice like thunder.

Qin Qi’s gaze was resolute. "Big Brother, you go. I’ll hold him off. Hurry!"

Qin Chen was anxious, but at the same time deeply moved.

If there was still some small chance that he could block Ye Yanwu—

Then for Qin Qi, there was absolutely none.

Qin Chen was sure Qin Qi understood this.

Yet even so.

He still rushed forward without hesitation.

From the moment he charged out, it meant he was already prepared to die.

How many people in this world would be willing to pay with their most precious life for someone else?

"Boom!"

Ye Yanwu was brutal and merciless, a Great Dao aura erupting from his whole body. The fluctuation of his Taoist Body shook space itself, making the entire void tremble.

He lifted his hand, forming an incomparably massive Hand Seal, like a Giant Mountain, that slammed down toward Qin Chen and Qin Qi.

In that instant—

Qin Chen and Qin Qi felt the sky above their heads darken.

"No!"

Lin Songyun cried out in shock, tears streaming down her face.

Wang Shishi clenched her teeth so hard they almost broke, desperately trying to restrain her emotions. She kept telling herself to stay calm as she forcibly dragged Lin Songyun outward.

Aunt Qing’s whole body was trembling, a line of clear tears also sliding down from the corner of her eyes.

She slowly shut her eyes, not daring to look at what was about to happen.

Gu Xinhu’s gaze turned to Wang Shishi and Lin Songyun. "Make a move. Kill the two of them!"

The deed was done; it had to be done cleanly.

Wang Shishi and Lin Songyun were going to die anyway.

If they died by his hand, it would still count as merit.

"Bang!"

However—

At this critical moment—

A figure suddenly shattered Ye Yanwu’s attack. That seemingly skinny body stepped in front of Qin Chen and Qin Qi, yet somehow appeared incomparably towering.

All the gazes on the scene instantly froze.

Who was this person?

His face and identity were extremely unfamiliar to them.

Only a small number of people recognized him.

Qin Chen was also dumbfounded.

He didn’t know this person at all, and had never seen him before.

Ye Yanwu’s eyes fell on the newcomer. "Who are you?"

The skinny figure spoke in a calm tone. "Thousand Bamboo Sect, Taoist Thousand Bamboo."

Taoist Thousand Bamboo?!

Qin Chen’s heart shook violently.

He immediately thought of his time at Thousand Bamboo Peak of Hundred Peaks Sect on the Blood Continent Islands.

Back then, the Peak Master of Thousand Bamboo Peak was called Taoist Thousand Bamboo.

Qin Chen had obtained the Little Hundred Illusion Technique from the Thousand Bamboo Heart that Taoist Thousand Bamboo left behind.

Though it had been a very long time.

Qin Chen still remembered clearly.

This man was that mysterious Peak Master of Thousand Bamboo Peak?

"Thousand Bamboo Sect? I’ve heard of that sect. Isn’t it just some insignificant little sect? How could its Sect Leader be this strong?"

For many people, this was their first time hearing the name Taoist Thousand Bamboo.

And in fact—

Taoist Thousand Bamboo usually acted extremely low-key.

Although he had founded a sect, he spent the vast majority of his time focused on cultivation, making him an extremely irresponsible sect leader.

That was exactly why the Thousand Bamboo Sect was just a small, unranked sect.

But.

Today, Taoist Thousand Bamboo had effortlessly taken a blow from Ye Yanwu, a General of the Great Star Imperial Family. That alone was enough to make the entire Great Star Dynasty remember his name and know who he was.

Not just anyone could casually take a strike from Ye Yanwu.

And moreover—

Taoist Thousand Bamboo had received Ye Yanwu’s attack far too easily.

"Today, my Great Star Imperial Family is acting. Idlers withdraw. Get lost!"

Ye Yanwu frowned.

He knew Taoist Thousand Bamboo was not weak.

But did he not see where this was?

The Great Star Imperial Family!

No matter how strong Taoist Thousand Bamboo was, he still had to weigh just where he was standing.

Taoist Thousand Bamboo spoke calmly. "I originally had no intention of interfering, but the ones you want to kill are my people. How could I sit back and watch?"

Countless gazes tightened.

There was actually this layer of connection?

"Senior, you’re the Peak Master of Thousand Bamboo Peak of Hundred Peaks Sect on the Blood Continent Islands?" Qin Chen immediately asked.

Taoist Thousand Bamboo smiled. "Looks like you still remember. That’s right, I’m the Peak Master of Thousand Bamboo Peak."

"Back then I left the Thousand Bamboo Heart at Thousand Bamboo Peak. I can sense the aura of the Thousand Bamboo Heart on you."

"Later I learned that you helped Thousand Bamboo Peak become the strongest peak in Hundred Peaks Sect. That counted as helping me. So today, I’ll help you."

Qin Chen stared deeply at Taoist Thousand Bamboo.

Taoist Thousand Bamboo might put it that way, but he had every reason to sit this out.

After all.

The one standing on the opposite side was the Great Star Imperial Family!

Yet Taoist Thousand Bamboo did not.

He stepped out without hesitation at the most critical moment.

"This junior will remember Senior’s kindness."

Qin Chen spoke at once.

"Go. With me here, Ye Yanwu won’t be able to touch a single hair on your heads."

Taoist Thousand Bamboo clasped his hands behind his back. His tone was indifferent, but it was precisely this indifference that revealed his terrifying strength.

"I told you to get lost and you won’t? Then it seems I’ll have to leave you here as well today!"

Ye Yanwu spoke darkly.

"Boom!"

This time, he no longer attacked as casually as he had against Qin Chen earlier. His body shot forward, and a massive Hand Seal condensed in the sky, stretching a hundred zhang long, piercing heaven and earth.

"So strong..."

Many hearts trembled. Even standing outside the imperial palace, they could feel this aura, making their scalps go numb.

"Kill!"

Ye Yanwu bellowed, and the Hand Seal slammed down toward Taoist Thousand Bamboo.

Yet in the face of such a fierce, violent strike, Taoist Thousand Bamboo merely lifted his head to glance at Ye Yanwu, serene as clouds and wind. He casually reached out a hand and pointed a finger.

A gigantic finger condensed into form, like the finger of a colossal god, and directly thrust toward Ye Yanwu’s enormous Hand Seal.

"Boom!"

Ye Yanwu’s vast Hand Seal shattered on the spot, turning into countless points of light in the void.

"This..."

Everyone was speechless. Ye Yanwu actually wasn’t a match?

No one had expected that this suddenly appearing man would be so overwhelmingly strong.

Taoist Thousand Bamboo’s giant finger remained, like a cudgel from the heavens, falling straight down to envelop Ye Yanwu.

Ye Yanwu’s expression changed.

In a rush, he thrust out his hand and struck with a palm to block this finger from Taoist Thousand Bamboo.

"Bang!"

However, the power of that one finger was far too terrifying. Although Ye Yanwu blocked it, his body was driven backward, ’step step step’, retreating dozens of steps in a row.

Just one clash, and the difference was already clear.

The mighty Ye Yanwu was simply no match for Taoist Thousand Bamboo.

Even Qin Chen couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath. "So strong."

"That’s why you must work even harder. No matter how strong someone else is, that strength is theirs. Only your own strength is truly yours."

"Just like today—if your strength were great enough, even the Star Emperor would kneel and apologize to you," the Little Fairy said.

Qin Chen nodded to himself.

Taoist Thousand Bamboo lifted his eyes, still looking at Ye Yanwu with a cold gaze. "I don’t want to kill anyone, unless you insist on courting death."
