Being underground, Ye Chen's dodging speed would definitely be affected. Seeing the black flame coming at him like an evil demon dragon, Ye Chen stomped on the ground with his back facing the black flower, holding his Star Scar Sword with both of his hands.
"Green Lotus Light!"
This attack focused more on defense than offense. A bathtub-sized green lotus appeared and gathered on the blade of the Star Scar Sword, covering Ye Chen's whole body.
Boom!
The black flame could burn anything, but the thickness and defense of the green lotus could not be underestimated either. All of a sudden, there was a subtle balance between the two. No matter how aggressive the flame was, it could not break through Ye Chen's sword attack defense right away, and could only slowly erode it.
Seeing that its ace attack could not do anything to Ye Chen, a murderous light flashed through the Sky Demon Snake's eyes. A black flame appeared on its tail as well, looking like a burning fire column. As it swept across, the air in the whole cave had been burned into nothingness, and the resistance had been reduced to an extreme.
Boom! The green lotus exploded, and Ye Chen was blown away. However, this result was obviously within his expectation. As he was flying backward, he made a grabbing gesture in the air. That basin-sized black flower was pulled out by the roots, falling into his storage ring.
Once the black flower disappeared, the black qi had become the source of everything. The first one to sense it was naturally the Sky Demon Snake. It opened its mouth and let out an ear-piercing scream, which was filled with anger that it had never felt before. Ye Chen had stopped it from killing and trapped it in the Silent Hills, but it had not lost its mind yet. However, the black flower was its life, the key to its growth. Once it was taken away, it would be impossible for it to grow fast, which would be the same as cutting off its potential.
Therefore, at that moment, the Sky Demon Snake had completely lost its mind. The remaining black flame inside its body continued to pour out, covering Ye Chen and the cave.
"Break!"
Throwing out a sword attack, a tiny crack appeared in the black flame. Ye Chen pushed his Separating Shadow Flying Art to its limit. After flashing once, he jumped out of the crack and landed on the ground.
The Sky Demon Snake jumped right after him, carrying the burning flame towards Ye Chen. It looked like it would not stop until it was dead. No one could stop it.
"Let's see how long you can last without this flower." Since his Green Lotus Zhen yuan had been used up, Ye Chen could not hurt the Sky Demon Snake with one attack. However, the black flame was not endless, so Ye Chen was not afraid of anything happening to himself.
Stepping lightly on the ground, Ye Chen soared into the sky and turned into a wisp of black smoke.
A man and a beast chased each other. Wherever they went, mountains would collapse, forests would be destroyed, and the ground would be plowed open with a ten meter wide and infinitely long mark.
Getting out of the Silent Hills, the Sky Demon Snake suddenly gave up on chasing Ye Chen. Instead, it flew towards the nearby cities, its eyes filled with cruelty.
Ye Chen was a little dazed, but he soon realized what the Sky Demon Snake was thinking. It was planning to slaughter humans and force him to give up the black flower. If he could not do anything to it, then he would indeed be in a dilemma. If he did not give up the flower, then one or two cities would definitely be destroyed. If he gave up the flower, then he would be helping a tyrant. The brutality of the Sky Demon Snake had been proven in history. Every time a Sky Demon Snake grew up, countless creatures would be killed. This kind of beast was closer to a demon, and had a horrifying evil nature inside of it.
This time, they had Ye Chen. Without him, no one knew what would have happened to the Sky Cloud Martial School. With just Cloud Dreamer and Thunder Freer, they could only delay it for a while.
"A rank 7 beast is coming! Run!"
There would be big and small battles happening outside the city every day. There were quite a lot of disciples from all of the big parties. Seeing the Sky Demon Snake approaching them aggressively, everyone was shocked. It was impossible for them not to know how horrifying a rank 7 beast was. In fact, even an Astral Reaching Realm warrior would not be able to compete with a rank 7 beast at the same level. Plus, this rank 7 beast seemed to be even more horrifying than the rumors. It was covered in black flames, looking like a demon that had just crawled out of hell.
"I was planning to spend more time with you. But since it is like this, then I will have to kill you now." Ye Chen looked cold. It was not that he could not beat the Sky Demon Snake. Even without his Green Lotus zhen yuan, the Sky Demon Snake would still not be able to compete with him. At most, it would be a bit more troublesome. But before this, he had planned to use the Sky Demon Snake as a long-term training target. Once he reached the Astral Reaching Realm, he would be able to take it out easily. However, the Sky Demon Snake's brutality and cunningness were still out of his expectation.
It knew how to kill humans to force him to submit. Looking at the countless human warriors outside the city, the Sky Demon Snake's pupils turned red. It had been a long time since it had seen blood. As a Sky Demon Snake, killing was its instinct. Especially after reaching rank 7, its killing instinct had become harder and harder to control. It had been hiding in the Silent Hills, hoping that one day, it could grow up in blood.
Boom!
The ground had been shattered. The Sky Demon Snake moved over quickly as it opened its mouth and shot out a beam of dark light.
"Blood Explosion Spell! Cut!"
Performing the ace movement of the Minor Blood Demon Body Separating Great Art, Ye Chen's speed had been pushed to its limit. He appeared in front of the dark light and shattered it with one sword attack.
The Sky Demon Snake stared at Ye Chen brutally. As a beast, it had made up its mind to take back the Sky Demon Flower. Even if it did not care about the fact that eating the Sky Demon Flower would bring a huge backlash to its body, it still wanted to kill Ye Chen and his martial school. This was the consequence of pissing it off.
"Huh! You are looking for death."
Ye Chen floated in the air as his eighty percent sword intent spread out. Combined with the half-step zhen yuan that had been activated by the Blood Explosion Spell, his aura had been pushed to its limit. It was as if his whole body had turned into a blood sword, and the surrounding air had also turned into a blood sword, locking onto the Sky Demon Snake's every move.
"It is him!"
Outside of the city, there were five people who had noticed Ye Chen.
These five people were none other than the five disciples from the Golden Light Martial School that Ye Chen had met when he first entered the Silent Hills as an outer disciple. The leading two people were Liu Tao and Wang Haichuan, followed by the girl in red, Yao Qing, and the twin brothers, Yang Wen and Yang Wu.
Right now, Liu Tao and Wang Haichuan were both core disciples of the Golden Light Martial School, and they were both at the peak of the Mid Condensing Reality Realm. The girl in red, Yao Qing, and the twins were all inner disciples at the peak of the Early Condensing Reality Realm. In the Golden Light Martial School, they had made quite good progress. Unfortunately, in the Sky Cloud Martial School, they would only be above average. They were not geniuses at all. This was the difference between a ranked martial school and a non-ranked martial school. Plus, the Sky Cloud Martial School was not something a rank 9 martial school could compare with anymore. It had the potential to become a rank 7 martial school.
Liu Tao was shocked, "Back then, his cultivation was not even as high as mine, but now he could already fight against rank 7 beasts. Could it be that he is the legendary genius in the Windy Nation?"
There were a lot of people with the same name in the Windy Nation, but none of them had ever associated Ye Chen with the legendary genius. Plus, after such a long time, they had almost forgotten about what had happened in the Silent Hills. They would never think that Ye Chen was the most talented genius in the Windy Nation, or even the South Rudra Region.
"It has only been four years, and the gap has become so huge." Compared to before, the impulsive Wang Haichuan was much calmer now. His face was full of determination, and his battling power had surpassed Liu Tao. He was the backbone of the five. Taking a deep breath, he calmed himself down first.
Yao Qing made a face, "It has been four years, and he has not even come to us once. What a heartless man."
The twin brother Yang Wu forced a smile, "If he had nothing to do, he would not have made it this far."
"Xiao Wu is right. The power of a genius comes with a price. We are not geniuses, but we are not as hardworking as him." The twin brother Yang Wen nodded.
Yao Qing said, "Do you think he will just ignore us if we go to him?"
Hearing her, the four of them forced a smile. They had only met Ye Chen by chance, and it was their honor to have fought alongside him. So, they would not dare to disturb him.
"Green Lotus Mountain!"
The Blood Explosion Spell had increased Ye Chen's battling power by more than eighty percent. With one sword attack, he had wounded the Sky Demon Snake. That blood-red sword qi left a horrifying sword mark on its body.
Roar!
The Sky Demon Snake hid in the black flame and threw out a tail attack.
"Shadow Explosion!"
Human shadows flashed as Ye Chen's real body appeared above the Sky Demon Snake within a second. The ace movement of his Green Lotus Sword Art was thrown down.
Crack!
A bloody hole appeared on the Sky Demon Snake's forehead, and blood kept pouring out.
"Piss off!"
His body flashed again, and Ye Chen appeared right in front of the Sky Demon Snake's chin. He threw out a sword attack, and that blood-red, fire-like sword light appeared. It had blown the Sky Demon Snake hundreds of meters away, creating a huge pit on the ground. It was dozens of meters deep and dozens of meters wide.
"He is completely dominating a rank 7 beast! So powerful!"
"Of course! Ye Chen is the Great Master of our Sky Cloud Martial School."
Hearing him, all the disciples of the Sky Cloud Martial School looked proud. They felt lucky to be a disciple of the Sky Cloud Martial School. Right now, in the Windy Nation, which young generation did not want to join the Sky Cloud Martial School?
The black flame inside the Sky Demon Snake's body was not endless. Without the Sky Demon Flower, it would be extremely hard for it to gather the black flame again. After all, it had just reached the level not long ago, and did not know much about the power of a rank 7 beast yet. There was just too little information about the black flame.
Without the black flame, the Sky Demon Snake had completely become a powerful rank 7 beast. Its defense was only equivalent to a rank 7 tyrant beast, and its overall power had dropped by one level.
It tried to run away, but was stabbed into the ground by Ye Chen's sword attack. As it lost more and more blood, its physical strength started to run out. Eventually, it roared into the sky and exploded.
Rumble!
That horrifying qi wave blew away Ye Chen, who had backed out far away.
After backing out not far away from the city wall, Ye Chen forced a smile. A rank 7 tyrant beast was only equivalent to a powerful Mid Astral Reaching Realm warrior, but it had not reached the peak level yet. On the other hand, without the black flame, the Sky Demon Snake's overall power was actually not as powerful as a rank 7 tyrant beast. However, Ye Chen still could not kill it within a short period of time. It was not hard to tell how powerful the Sky Demon Snake was. Once it grew up, it would definitely become a tyrant among the rank 7 tyrant beasts. It would be powerful enough to fight against a peak-level Mid Astral Reaching Realm warrior, and even a Late Astral Reaching Realm warrior would not be able to kill it easily.
"Ye Chen!" Right then, a clear voice was heard from afar.
Ye Chen turned his head to look, and a smile appeared on his face, "It's you guys! Long time no see. "
Yao Qing was surprised, "You still remember us?"
"Of course!"
