"I also want to promise you …" Hao Zong said with a helpless and bitter smile. But he paused for a moment before continuing. "Alright, I'll agree to it too …" Hao Zong's smile turned into a helpless and bitter one.
"However, I'm afraid I can't do it this time. Our great sovereign has given a death order. Moreover, junior brother Mo Xie is also putting his life on the line. If I continue to sit here and chat with you, I'm afraid I'll be severely punished when I return."
Chen Yu shook his head with a bitter smile. "As expected, it's the same for us."
Both of them did not like to fight. However, the current situation did not allow them to slack off. Hao Zong glanced at Fu Jin and Chen Yu also glanced at Emperor Qing and the other four as he said, "Let's go.
"You guys go. I'll deal with him."
With Hao Zong's strength, Emperor Qing and the other three would not be able to deal with him. Emperor Qing did not say anything after hearing Chen Yu's words. He had known Chen Yu for quite some time. However, Emperor Qing had never truly seen through Chen Yu's strength. Chen Yu was like a bottomless pit. Just when you thought you had reached the bottom, you realized that it was still unfathomable.
The four emperors nodded and took the initiative to leave. Fu Jin did the same.
Chen Yu took the initiative to face Hao Zong. As a result, the situation between the Night Ghost Pavilion and the Sacred Palace Chosens became like this.
Xiao Chen faced Mo Xie, Chen Yu faced Hao Zong, Chen Ling and Long Qing faced Yan Xiang and Xing Gang respectively. As for the Azure Emperor, Bai Yi and Quan Lan, they teamed up against Gu Changle, while Hu Fei, Yun Chuan and Jiang Yue teamed up against Fu Jin.
In other words, only four of the ten Sacred Palace Chosens had the ability to take on the six Night Ghost Pavilion Chosens alone. They were Xiao Chen, Chen Ling, Long Qing and Chen Yu. The others didn't have the ability to do so. This was the gap between their foundations.
After exchanging opponents, everyone began fighting again. Chen Yu and Hao Zong stood facing each other. Neither side made a move. Hao Zong sighed.
"I originally thought that this would be an easy battle, but it seems that I underestimated the Sacred Palace. You must be the second Chosen of the Sacred Palace, right?"
It was normal that Hao Zong had never heard of Chen Yu's name before. After all, the Sacred Palace had been established for many years, and if one were to ask who was the most low-key and mysterious Chosen among the ten great Chosen, it would definitely be Chen Yu. That was because he had basically never participated in any battles, and naturally had no reputation.
However, Hao Zong was certain from Chen Yu's aura that he was a formidable opponent. A very, very formidable opponent. Therefore, Hao Zong naturally treated Chen Yu as the second Chosen of the Sacred Palace.
However, Chen Yu smiled and shook his head when he heard Hao Zong's words. "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I'm ranked among the ten great Chosen of the Sacred Palace. He's the second Chosen, junior brother Chen Ling, and that's the third Holy Maiden, junior sister Long Qing. As for the first Chosen, I don't think I need to introduce him, right?"
Chen Yu was not the second Chosen of the Sacred Palace. He was only ranked fourth among the ten great Chosen of the Sacred Palace. As he spoke, Chen Yu pointed in the direction of Chen Ling and Long Qing, which could be considered as an introduction to Hao Zong.
Looking in the direction that Chen Yu was pointing at, Hao Zong saw Chen Ling and Long Qing, who were engaged in a fierce battle with Yan Xiang and Xing Gang. However, just as Hao Zong's attention was diverted, Chen Yu, who was still acting lazily, suddenly chose to launch a sneak attack.
Chen Yu did not seem to have made any movements, but his figure seemed to have disappeared from the spot. Soon after, he appeared in front of Hao Zong and pointed a finger at him. A beam of platinum light shot out.
In a battle between two people, Chen Yu was a Chosen of the Sacred Palace. Launching a sneak attack was indeed not something to be proud of. However, Hao Zong displayed his superior combat prowess in response to Chen Yu's sneak attack. What should have been a sure-hit attack was easily dodged by Chen Yu.
Hao Zong easily avoided Chen Yu's sneak attack and pulled away from Chen Yu at the same time. Chen Yu did not attack again when he saw this. Hao Zong also withdrew his gaze and looked at Chen Yu again. There was no anger on his face as he calmly said.
"I really did not expect that a Chosen of the Sacred Palace would launch a sneak attack."
"Hehe, I only wanted to injure you so that the battle will be a little easier. After all, I'm not confident I can defeat you." Chen Yu did not feel embarrassed at all when he heard Hao Zong's words.
Chen Yu was definitely a person who did things his own way. He did not care about his reputation, nor did he care about power. He did things completely based on his own interests. Thus, perhaps other Saints would not hesitate to launch sneak attacks because of their own reputation, but to Chen Yu, this was no pressure at all.
Hao Zong smiled when he saw that Chen Yu did not avoid his gaze at all.
"Actually, with your strength, being the fourth Chosen is too much for you. The second and third Chosen of your Sacred Palace are not your match."
Chen Ling and Long Qing were not Chen Yu's match. This was Hao Zong's answer. Chen Yu did not refute it, but did not admit it either. Hao Zong continued.
"Can I ask you a question before we fight?"
"Sure, ask whatever you want. It would be best if you could ask until the end of the battle." Chen Yu smiled.
"Haha, you're thinking too much. I only have one question. Between the first Chosen, Xiao Chen, and you, who is stronger?" Hao Zong smiled when he heard Chen Yu's answer.
Between you and Xiao Chen, this was Hao Zong's question. After all, Xiao Chen was able to fight Mo Xie to a standstill, which was already sufficient proof of his strength.
In response to Hao Zong's question, Chen Yu smiled and said, "Junior brother Xiao Chen is the most talented person I've ever seen. Even the mysterious junior brother Chen Ling and junior sister Long Qing are not Xiao Chen's match. If junior brother Xiao Chen is given a few more decades, he may be able to surpass me. However, I believe that defeating him now is not difficult."
Chen Ling and Long Qing were the reincarnation of a great expert, while the other was a pure-blooded Dragon Clan member. They were already considered top geniuses, but in Chen Yu's opinion, they were still inferior to Xiao Chen in terms of talent. However, even the powerful Xiao Chen was still not enough in Chen Yu's eyes.
This was the first time Chen Yu had said something like this. It was not intentional at all. On the contrary, it was as if he was stating a fact.
Hearing Chen Yu's words, Hao Zong smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Looks like I've really picked the worst one. Alright, enough chit-chat. We can start now."
"Wait a minute." The current Chen Yu was stronger than Xiao Chen. Hao Zong was helpless. He did not expect that he would pick the strongest opponent. However, just as he finished speaking, Chen Yu suddenly spoke.
"I've answered your question. Shouldn't you also answer mine? Between you and Mo Xie, who is stronger?"
