Chapter 1682: You Have Been Brainwashed

"You haven't heard him say it, have you?" Chen Yu asked, then laughed: "But then again, why would he tell you about such shameful things? Wouldn't that ruin the lofty image he holds in your hearts?"

"Do you have any proof?" Qingtian Ye asked, unable to help himself, as Chen Yu did not seem to be spouting nonsense.

"No proof, believe it or not as you please." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "But if you want proof, I can give it to you. Don't you have his Divine Power? It's right there in the Scepter in your hand. Use all your strength to strike me; if you can hit me, then consider what I said to be nonsense."

"Heh, this Divine Staff is infused with the vast power of our Upper God." Qingtian Ye glanced at the Scepter in his hand and couldn't help but burst into loud laughter, his expression full of disdain: "Use all my strength? I only need to use one-tenth of my power to blast you into dust."

"Is that what he told you?" Chen Yu almost laughed: "Bragging without even blinking. Fine, since you aren't convinced, then come and try."

"You asked for this, don't blame me." Qingtian Ye gave a sinister laugh, grabbed the Scepter in his hand, and pointed it slightly forward.

With a hum, in an instant, a transparent wave of light surged toward Chen Yu, and Qingtian Ye's form shifted into more than ten figures in that moment, attacking Chen Yu from different directions.

Yet Chen Yu did not react at all; he stood on the spot without moving, letting the opponent's Scepter strike his body repeatedly.

In this instant, he attacked hundreds of times, and as the figures merged, the dozen or so silhouettes suddenly collapsed into one.

Qingtian Ye stared fixedly at Chen Yu, panting slightly, the expression on his face having changed.

He had indeed not used his full strength just now, but his ability could only push the power of the Divine Staff to this extent.

Yet he hadn't even damaged a single hair on Chen Yu, which made him feel it was somewhat inconceivable; one must know that in his usual duels with others, he had never once had to exert his full strength.

This time, failing to injure the opponent even after exerting his full strength, he felt somewhat shocked.

"Anything else?" Chen Yu flicked the dust off his body and smiled: "Not bad, you even managed to touch the hem of my clothes. Try a little harder, and maybe you'll be able to make me defend myself."

"You heretics, I will destroy you on behalf of the Upper God," Qingtian Ye said, gritting his teeth.

"No problem, that depends on whether you have the ability." Chen Yu raised his head and said: "You already exerted your full strength just now, didn't you? You even unleashed seventy percent of this Divine Staff's power, and in this situation, you only managed to touch the hem of my clothes."

"Even if I give you another chance, what can you do to me?"

"The God will surely help me; he will surely bestow more Divine Power upon me." Qingtian Ye arched his eyebrows, extended his right hand, and the Scepter in his hand emitted a faint green glow once more.

A star-shaped array formed at the tail of the Scepter, and with a *whoosh*, it struck toward Chen Yu.

Yet this wave of power pierced straight through Chen Yu's chest, but he just stood on the spot, completely unmoved; this unleashed Divine Power did not even damage a single hair on Chen Yu.

"Anything else?" Chen Yu stared at him.

"This is impossible..." Qingtian Ye stared at Chen Yu with wide eyes, unable to process it for a moment.

"If that's all the strength you have, then it's my turn." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

Qingtian Ye stared coldly at Chen Yu, and suddenly, he moved, thrusting his hand forward and attacking Chen Yu rapidly.

The Scepter in his hand emitted a faint glimmer, aiming straight for Chen Yu's chest.

Chen Yu pointed his right hand into the void, Primordial Qi surging at his fingertip, and then—*crack! *

Qingtian Ye's arm shook, and the Divine Staff in his hand instantly snapped into several pieces; he stared blankly at the broken staff in his hand, his mind going completely blank for a moment.

One must know that his entire strength came from the Divine Staff.

Not only did his power come from here, but his spiritual sustenance was here as well; with the Divine Staff destroyed, he was suddenly at a loss.

Immediately after, Chen Yu pointed his right hand into the void, and a strand of Primordial Qi pierced straight through Qingtian Ye's throat.

*Puff... * A bloody hole appeared in Qingtian Ye's throat; he looked terrified, stumbled back a few steps, and then looked at Chen Yu in shock, an expression of disbelief appearing on his face.

Following that, he collapsed onto the ground with a thud, struggled a few times, and then lay completely still.

"Accidentally obtaining some Demon Power and thinking oneself a messenger of God." Chen Yu sneered: "Losing that stick is equivalent to being beaten back to one's original form. In truth, such people are nothing at all."

"So the power of faith is truly quite terrifying." The Empress said to herself: "I finally understand why those pharaohs in my era always liked to play the charlatan; it turns out that charlatans can bewitch people's hearts at any time."

"What else? Theocracy is much more stable than imperial power." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "This is also why some countries like to pretend to be charlatans, because that is the only way to make everyone obey them implicitly."

"Alright Xin'er, it's fine now, let's go back. I'll handle the rest." Chen Yu glanced at Xin'er.

Although she had experienced quite a lot recently and Xin'er was already used to it, today's events still made her feel somewhat afraid; if not for Chen Yu, she really didn't know how much longer she could have held on.

Chen Yu and the others left, and in the darkness, a Daoist slowly walked out.

This Daoist was none other than Chixiao Daozhang. Watching the direction in which Chen Yu and the others had left, he muttered: "It's true, what you said was actually true. This girl is the Nine Yin Body I have been looking for."

Huang Hong also followed closely behind Chixiao Daozhang out of the shadows, the expression on his face somewhat surprised.

Originally, he had wanted to trick Chixiao Daozhang into confronting Chen Yu, but he hadn't expected Chixiao Daozhang to be so hard to fool; he had insisted on coming over to see if this girl was really as Huang Hong had described.

Huang Hong had originally been wondering how to get past this hurdle, but he hadn't expected such a huge surprise; this girl was actually the Nine Yin Body he was looking for.

"Senior Chixiao, I wasn't wrong, was I? I have been observing this girl for a long time, and I felt that she was very similar to the characteristics of the Nine Yin Body you mentioned." Huang Hong took the opportunity to claim the credit for himself: "That's why I have been keeping an eye on her during this time, and only dared to tell you after I was certain."

"Good, good, good, well done, truly very good." Chixiao appeared very happy and nodded incessantly: "It was not in vain that I searched everywhere for the Nine Yin Body. Haha, I didn't expect to actually find it this time."
