"No time to waste! Kill!"
The masked man was afraid that something might happen in the middle of the battle. If another Astral Reaching Realm warrior showed up, then they would not be able to do anything, and they would not even be able to get the other half of the reward.
Thunder Freer was furious. He opened his palm, forming a tiger claw.
"Mad Thunder Grab!"
Pap! Pap!
There was a violent flash of lightning in the void, forming a huge tiger paw that completely enveloped the two masked men.
"Go kill that brat! I will block him!" The masked man yelled as he tightened his right fist. A flame halo appeared on top of his fist as he threw out a punch towards the Thunder Tiger Palm.
Boom!
The thunder and fire disappeared one after another. Thunder Freer and the masked man both backed out for dozens of meters.
"Brat, die!"
The other masked man seized the opportunity, and a five-foot-long dark green iron stick appeared in his right hand. The iron stick was surrounded by beams of green light. He tightened his grip and smashed the iron stick towards Ye Chen's head. Before the stick even reached Ye Chen, the air had already started to collapse. In the eyes of the Sky Cloud Martial School people, this short stick was like a thousand-foot-long tidal wave, which was extremely aggressive.
"Together …" Luo Xinglie was planning to gather everyone to fight against the masked man, but he did not expect a huge change to happen to Ye Chen's body.
Whoosh!
A blood-red zhen Qi shot up into the sky, dying Ye Chen's hair and eyebrows red. Holding his Star Scar Sword, Ye Chen did not back out at all. He threw out a sword attack with that blood-red thunder light. His whole body looked like a bloody god of war.
Dang!
The iron stick and the Star Scar Sword clashed together and exploded. It was like a real wave had pushed both of them back out.
Pooh!
The masked man could not believe what had just happened. He puked out a mouthful of smoking blood.
"How is this possible? Your battling power cannot be this powerful!"
Ye Chen looked cold, "There are a lot of things that you do not know. I am not obligated to tell you all of them. Since you are here, then don't even think about leaving!"
Taking one step forward, Ye Chen's aura grew even more powerful. He lifted up his Star Scar Sword with both of his hands and attacked down.
The masked man's injuries were not light. Coupled with the fact that he was slightly absent-minded, he lost the best opportunity to dodge the attack. The result of forcibly raising his rod to block the attack was that he was forced to retreat dozens of meters again. Blood gushed out of his mouth as if it was free of charge. He looked extremely embarrassed, which was the complete opposite of his previous arrogant demeanor.
"This is Ye Chen?" Luo Xinglie acted like he did not know Ye Chen at all. Ye Chen was an Early Astral Reaching Realm warrior, and he had been wounded after only one attack. He did not even have the power to fight back.
"Senior Brother Ye is so strong!"
Those core disciples from the Sky Cloud Martial School, who had come to watch the competition, shouted out in shock. Of course, they were not the only ones who were shocked, Lou Hanshan, Zhu Mei, and those elders of the Sky Cloud Martial School were also shocked. It was as if they had just met Ye Chen for the first time.
Although the power that Ye Chen had shown in the last battle of the Hidden Dragon Rank was equivalent to an Early Astral Reaching Realm warrior in his normal condition, he could only fight against him. It was impossible for him to beat him, not to mention making him puke blood with only one attack. It was obviously two different levels of battling power.
In other words, in that last battle, Ye Chen still had some hidden power.
Thinking up to this point, everyone from the Sky Cloud Martial School secretly felt lucky. Luckily, Ye Chen was a disciple of the Sky Cloud Martial School, and he was not their enemy. Otherwise, facing an enemy with endless hidden power and immeasurable battling power would be the most terrifying thing. Who knew whether or not he would attack at the critical moment?
Ye Chen's movements were very simple. They were just like thunder and lightning, fast and violent, powerful and heavy. Every sword attack was accompanied by blood-colored lightning and endless clouds. He was like a god of war in the clouds, like a thunder god with thunder and lightning on his body. He had suppressed the masked man until he did not even have the slightest bit of temper left.
Wah!
Another mouthful of blood spurted out. The masked man was seriously injured, and his face was pale without a trace of blood. He roared in a hoarse voice, "Damn brat, I will tear you into a thousand pieces, turn you into ashes, and burn you for me!"
The dark green zhen yuan outside the masked man's body rubbed against each other, bringing up sparks. The sparks were like sparks on a grassland, covering his whole body within a second and devouring him. The next second, a dark green flame appeared on his body, and his aura increased drastically.
"What? He has started to burn his zhen yuan already?" The masked man and Thunder Freer were fighting at the same level, so he did not have the time to pay attention to the other side of the battle. He waited until the huge aura of burning zhen yuan spread out before he glanced over. What he saw made him open his mouth wide. In his sight, the masked man had been beaten by Ye Chen to the point where he kept puking out blood. He looked extremely embarrassed. If he did not burn his zhen yuan soon, he would be killed. "I was too careless! This brat is ten times more tricky than I thought! "
"Brat Ye, well done! Kill Thunder Qianjun!"
Thunder Freer had also noticed what was happening on Ye Chen's side. He was shocked. Although Ye Chen's poetic perspective of thunder was not as good as his, his poetic perspective was obviously not just the poetic perspective of thunder, but the poetic perspective of thunder clouds. Therefore, judging from the overall poetic perspective, he was not weaker than Thunder Freer at all. The only difference was that he did not have any zhen yuan. Thinking about what he had said before, that even if Ye Chen's sword intent reached completion, he would only be able to compete with Early Astral Reaching Realm warriors, he could not help but force a smile. 'Ye Chen did not need to rely on the completion of his sword intent. He could already compete with Early Astral Reaching Realm warriors with his powerful sword movements and poetic perspectives, and even wound them. What would happen if his sword intent reached completion? How powerful would it be?'
Thunder Freer did not dare to think about it anymore, as he was afraid that he would be depressed if he continued to think about it. There was no time to lose. Taking advantage of the masked man's dazed state, Thunder Freer opened his right hand. Countless arm-thick thunder light shot out towards the masked man at a speed that was a couple of times faster than the speed of sound.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
His protective zhen yuan was shaken up, and the masked man was blown away. A trace of blood leaked out of the corner of his mouth. He made up his mind and shook his body. The flame on his body was extremely bright, making him look like a human-shaped torch.
"Only you know how to burn zhen yuan, but so do I!" Thunder Freer gave up on chasing after the masked man. Electric sparks flashed on his long hair, and in the next second, the blue flame and the lightning shot up into the sky. Both his aura and zhen yuan vibration had been doubled.
Two peak-level Early Astral Reaching Realm warriors had burned their zhen yuan one after another. The clouds started to gather, and even the protective screen of the Surprising Sky started to become unstable.
On the other side …
Ye Chen did not care about his opponent's zhen yuan burning state. He held his sword with both of his hands and put it on his waist. His body leaned forward, and he shot out at a speed that was a couple of times faster than the speed of sound. His blood-colored zhen Qi dragged out a blood-red qi flow behind him. Even the corner of his eyes had left two blood-colored traces in the air.
Amazing! Evil! Aggressive!
Right then, that was the feeling that Ye Chen had brought to the crowd. Zhu Mei and Xu Jing, who had a good impression of Ye Chen, could feel their hearts beating out of their control. A strange feeling rose in their hearts. Not only them, even a few of the core female masters blushed. They thought to themselves, 'If they were twenty years younger, they would most likely be attracted to him.'
"Piss off!"
Burning his zhen yuan had made the masked man even more wounded. Blood appeared on his face. He did not dare to waste any more time, so he held his black iron stick and threw it out with his most explosive power.
Clang!
The waves were stirred up, and the clouds and thunder roared. A huge shockwave spread out quickly, sweeping out in all directions and clearing out a huge cloud layer.
Dragging his Star Scar Sword, Ye Chen was not injured at all.
On the other hand, the masked man's face was covered in blood. It looked like countless blood red snakes slithering down his body, looking like a ghost. He yelled unwillingly, "This is unreasonable! I have already burned my zhen yuan, and my attacking power has doubled. How could I still lose to you?"
Calming down his boiling qi and blood, Ye Chen took out another two five hundred years old Blood Sun Flowers, sucking out their medicinal power and swallowing it. He thought to himself, 'Battling with Sikong Sheng, my attacking power was already equivalent to a normal Early Astral Reaching Realm warrior. Now that I have performed the Minor Blood Demon Body Separating Great Art, my attacking power has increased by at least fifty percent. Plus, I have successfully combined the sixth movement of the Sky Cloud Sword Art. It should not be a problem for me to fight against an Astral Reaching Realm warrior who has burned his zhen yuan. As for being able to beat the masked man, it was because he had been wounded by me before.
"Brother Ye is freakishly powerful!"
A few of the core disciples mumbled to themselves.
Luo Xinglie's tightened body and mind had finally relaxed. A smile appeared on his face. With Ye Chen here, they would not need to cause any more trouble.
"Immortal Sky Shattering Clouds!"
Without changing his movement, Ye Chen's aura had expanded to its peak. His body flashed once, appearing above the masked man within a second. His Star Scar Sword, which had been dyed red by the blood lightning, had been thrown down heavily.
Chin!
Sparks flew everywhere as the masked man's internal organs had been messed up. It was no longer a matter of being badly wounded. If it was not treated in time, he might be disabled for the rest of his life, and would never be able to become a warrior again. With that thought in mind, he did not care about the dignity of an Astral Reaching Realm warrior anymore. He turned around and ran away at his fastest speed. Compared to his life, the dignity of an Astral Reaching Realm warrior was not worth anything at all.
"He is running away!"
Zhu Mei opened her red little mouth.
"Kill Heart!"
Letting the tiger go back to the mountain was not Ye Chen's style. Right then, when he was performing the Minor Blood Demon Body Separating Great Art, it would disturb his mental stability. The reason why he was able to maintain this kind of stability was because of his powerful soul power. But no matter how powerful his soul power was, it would only be enough for him to maintain it. Performing the Kill Heart sword attack would definitely affect its power. But of course, as long as he could perform eighty percent of its power, it would be enough.
He threw out a sword attack, the sword qi looking like a pillar.
Swoosh!
The masked man's burning protective zhen yuan had been punctured through, and an arm-sized bloody hole appeared on his chest. After a scream, he fell down from the sky, completely dead.
The masked man was shocked, Thunder Freer was shocked, Luo Xinglie was shocked, and everyone from the Sky Cloud Martial School was shocked. It seemed like even the Wind Vulture was shocked, its eyeballs stopped moving.
Fighting against an Early Astral Reaching Realm warrior and killing an Early Astral Reaching Realm warrior were two completely different concepts. They could not be compared at all. They thought that no one in the South Rudra Region would be able to do it for a long time, but Ye Chen had done it. He had done something that no one in the South Rudra Region had managed to do in the past hundreds of years. He had killed an Early Astral Reaching Realm warrior who was burning his zhen yuan with only a Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior. Once this got out, it would create a tsunami like storm in the whole South Rudra Region. His name would also be recorded in the history of the whole region.
