"Guilty of a capital offense? I don't think so. " Before his battle strength had advanced, Ye Chen had never feared the Island Master. If he couldn't beat him, couldn't he run? Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone was shrouded in dense fog. Hiding was easy. As for now, there was no need to be afraid.
The black-robed old man was so angry that he started laughing instead, "Looks like it has been a long time since I fought, and some people of Bewilderment Fog Island have already forgotten my existence. Fine, today I will kill the chicken to warn the monkey, and let everyone know who exactly is the master of Bewilderment Fog Island."
Rumble!
The chair behind him exploded, and the black-robed old man suddenly stood up. Lightning crackled around his body, "Grand Elder Ye, I'll give you one last chance. Hand over your storage ring, kneel, and accept your punishment. Then, I'll spare your dog life. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless."
The black-robed old man was still a bit worried. Extreme Astral Reaching experts weren't easy to kill. If the latter wholeheartedly tried to escape, his chances of success wouldn't exceed seventy percent. Of course, if Ye Chen insisted on not handing over his storage ring, he wouldn't hesitate in the slightest and would immediately kill him.
"Life and death are decided by a single thought of yours. Consider it well." The black-robed old man's voice was rather gloomy. His breathing was gradually restrained, like a volcano about to erupt. He was secretly accumulating all the power in his body, striving to kill Ye Chen in an instant.
"You could have continued to be the Island Master. Bewilderment Fog Island would still be under your control for the next few decades."
Ye Chen said a baffling sentence.
"You don't agree!"
"You don't have the qualifications to make me agree."
"Since you want to die, don't blame me."
The black-robed old man's fury erupted like a volcano. The lightning outside his body suddenly gathered in his palm. His figure flickered, and his palm slapped towards Ye Chen's head.
This palm carried the fury of thunder, and its speed was as fast as lightning. Even an Astral Reaching paragon of the same rank would have to dodge.
Ye Chen stood motionless. He didn't take out his longsword, nor did he prepare to meet the attack. Instead, he raised a finger and pointed in the air.
Puff!
A deep azure sword Qi shot out. Under the amplification of sword intent, its speed was as fast as a shooting star.
Kacha!
A few arm-thick cracks appeared in the foggy palace hall, and a powerful shockwave gushed out from the entrance of the hall, creating many ravines.
Dong dong dong dong!
Muffled footsteps were heard. The black-robed old man's palm dripped with blood as he was forcibly blown back. His face was full of shock. It had only been half a month, but Ye Chen's strength had already reached such a level. Although he didn't use an upper grade offensive artifact just now, he believed that he could deal with Ye Chen with just his palms. After all, before obtaining an upper grade artifact, he was already one of the strongest Extreme Astral Reaching experts. Dozens of years of bitter cultivation had allowed his basic strength to increase without diminishing. Dealing with a young Extreme Astral Reaching expert was a piece of cake for him. But now, he finally understood that Ye Chen's strength was not what the outside world had estimated.
"No wonder you dared to defy me. It turns out that you were hiding your true strength. Don't tell me you think you can act presumptuously in front of me with just this bit of strength?"
Recollecting his shocked expression, the black-robed old man spread out his hands. A dark blue light flickered, and two huge iron hammers appeared in his hands. These two hammers were more than a meter long, and their handles were as thick as a wrist. The heads of the hammers were two cylinders, glowing with a pitch-black metallic luster. Under the black-robed old man's Zhen Yuan, the ends of the hammers burst out with sharp dark blue lightning, and an incomparably frightening might instantly spread out.
Without a doubt, the iron hammers were upper grade artifacts. A mid grade artifact's might couldn't even compare to half of its might.
"Upper grade artifact, Exploding Thunder Hammer!" Grand Elder Chen blurted out.
Holding the hammer with both hands, the black-robed old man's eyes filled with killing intent as he said sinisterly, "I found this upper grade artifact in the ancient ruins. Relying on it, I've killed at least eight Extreme Astral Reaching experts, if not ten. You'll be the next."
"Thunder attribute upper grade artifact is indeed not ordinary."
Among the different types of offensive Great Weapons, the thunder and fire Great Weapons were the most overbearing, the earth Great Weapons were the thickest, the metal Great Weapons were the sharpest, and the wind Great Weapons could not only increase one's attack power, but could also increase one's speed.
Hammer type offensive artifacts were originally full of killing power. Coupled with the tyrannical thunder attribute, it was like adding wings to a tiger, breaking through everything.
Swish!
A longsword appeared in Ye Chen's left hand as he slowly said, "I've never exchanged blows with an Astral Reaching paragon. Today, I'll use you to sharpen my sword."
"How arrogant! Take my Furious Thunder Explosion!"
The black-robed old man rose from the ground, and the muscles on his arms swelled up. An incomparably vigorous thunder attribute Zhen Yuan poured into the Exploding Thunder Hammer, which ferociously smashed toward Ye Chen, who was not far away.
Before the hammer arrived, the ferocious hammer pressure immediately blasted away half of the hall. Berserk lightning snakes swam everywhere, pervading hundreds of meters in radius.
"Eh? Thunder mentality containing explosive power?"
Facing the black-robed old man's pair of iron hammers, Ye Chen was still in the mood to study his opponent's mentality. It was common knowledge that mentalities were divided into attributes. Apart from the natural attribute mentalities, there were many other attributes. Moreover, mentalities of the same attribute would also differ from person to person. The black-robed old man's thunder mentality contained a kind of explosive power. With a swing of the hammer, the powerful hammer pressure instantly blasted away half of the hall. It was even more offensive than the ordinary thunder mentality.
"My Sky Shattering Clouds contains an intense explosive power. Let's see whose thunder mentality is a notch higher."
Clang!
Unsheathing the Thunder Sword, Ye Chen held it with one hand and swung out. The sword swinging speed was full of explosive power, causing the void to tremble.
Peng Peng Peng Peng Peng …
Thunderous explosions resounded. In a short period of time, Ye Chen and the black-robed old man exchanged dozens of blows. Each time, they adopted a head-on stance, neither giving way to the other.
Finally, the entire foggy hall could no longer endure the exchange of blows and shattered into thousands of pieces, scattering in every direction.
"Who is fighting in the foggy hall?"
The numerous grand elders and elders of Bewilderment Fog Island were startled, their faces filled with shock. Soon after, they all rushed in the direction of the exchange.
Sub Island Master's residence …
Sub Island Master Wang raised his head and slightly creased his brows. Among the auras exchanging blows, one was unexpectedly Bewilderment Fog Island's Island Master, while the other was somewhat unfamiliar. He seemed to have seen it before, yet also seemed to have never seen it before.
"In terms of basic strength, Island Master and I are more or less the same. However, Island Master has two upper grade artifacts. One is the Exploding Thunder Hammer, and the other is the defensive artifact Golden Armor. With this Golden Armor, even if Sub Island Master Cui and I joined hands, it would still be difficult to break through his defense. Therefore, Island Master is him, not me or Sub Island Master Cui. This person can fight evenly with Island Master, so his strength is not below mine. Unfortunately, Island Master is innately undefeatable.
Swish!
Sub Island Master Wang's feet moved, soaring into the sky.
In another Sub Island Master's residence, Sub Island Master Cui woke up from his cultivation. With a wave of his palm, the door opened, and his body streaked across the horizon like a blade light.
The residences of Sub Island Master, grand elders, and elders weren't far from the foggy hall. In a short period of time, apart from those who were out on business, all the higher ups of Bewilderment Fog Island had arrived.
Everyone's gaze fell on the center of the foggy hall, which had been razed to the ground. Immediately, they were dumbstruck.
The one fighting with Island Master was unexpectedly Ye Chen, who had become a grand elder some time ago.
"This kid has eaten a leopard's gall, daring to fight with Island Master." A middle-aged grand elder said.
Grand Elder Sun's gaze was filled with schadenfreude, "I told you this kid wasn't anything good. Seems like the position of grand elder can't satisfy him, and he has his eyes set on the position of Island Master."
"He doesn't know how to write the word 'death'."
Swish! Swish!
Sub Island Master Wang and Sub Island Master Cui arrived.
"Sub Island Master."
Everyone cupped their hands towards the two.
Sub Island Master Wang said, "Do you know what happened?"
"We just arrived as well!"
Nodding, Sub Island Master Wang's gaze fell on the black-robed old man, then he shifted his gaze. This time, he was shocked.
"Forcing Island Master to use the Explosive Thunder Hammer, this strength is no less than yours or mine."
Hearing this, Sub Island Master Cui said solemnly, "He still has some strength left."
"Still has strength left?"
Sub Island Master Wang was quite surprised. If these words came from someone else, he would not believe them. But Sub Island Master Cui was a saber expert, and his eyesight was the sharpest. Naturally, he would not speak carelessly.
Gradually, the many grand elders and elders also saw some clues. After fighting for such a long time, Island Master still hadn't gained the upper hand. Could it be that this kid's strength could already contend against Island Master?
"Impossible, Island Master hasn't used his killing move yet." Elder Sun immediately denied.
"Indeed, it's not that there haven't been experts who exchanged a few moves with Island Master in the past, but once Island Master used his killing move, none of them survived. This kid is no exception."
"Hehe, let's see how he dies!"
Sub Island Master Wang also shook his head, "Too reckless."
Not only had Island Master not used his killing move, he hadn't even activated his Golden Armor. Even if Ye Chen's strength was exceedingly high, he still couldn't do anything to Island Master.
After fighting for a long time, the black-robed old man's mood started to become irritable. He roared, "Good, you're the third person to be able to exchange so many moves with me in dozens of years. But the next move will take your dog life."
"Thunder Lion Transformation!"
Cracking the ground with one foot, the black-robed old man soared into the sky and raised his iron hammer high above his head. Violent thunderbolts gathered at the hammer's head, constantly compressing and mixing, quickly condensing into a lion baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. The lion roared, and a terrifying pressure covered the heaven and earth.
Bang!
The two hammers suddenly smashed down, and the Thunder Lion rushed out, diving towards Ye Chen.
"Green Lotus Sprout!"
Putting the Thunder Sword back into its scabbard, the Green-Wood Sword unsheathed. Still holding the sword with one hand, Ye Chen swung it, and the sword light surged, meeting the Thunder Lion head-on.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Like fireworks exploding, the Thunder Lion was drowned in the sword light.
However, this move was, after all, the black-robed old man's killing move, which contained an extremely condensed thunder power. As the sword light came into contact with it, it immediately dimmed. But in the next moment, the dimmed sword light exploded with an even more frightening power, going from weak to strong. Not only did it tear apart the Thunder Lion's body, a beam of sword light even pierced through the lion's forehead.
