Zhi Zhi!
Behind him was the ferocious Blood Dragon Snake, and in front of him was the thick qi wall. If he went left or right, he would be blocked by the Blood Dragon Snake. Ye Chen had nowhere to go.
"I can't fight with the Blood Dragon Snake. Ancient beasts have the strongest defense. Without one to four hours, it would be hard to kill it. If both of us get injured, it would only benefit that old guy."
Thinking quickly, Ye Chen withdrew his protective Zhen Yuan. Layers of sword light floated around his body. Shoo! The sword light carried his body and shot toward the qi wall. Peng! The mud behind him splashed out. The Blood Dragon Snake's tail was as red as jade and as hard as diamond, leaving a deep hole in the ground.
Swoosh!
The sword light was condensed with the supreme Slaughter Sword Will. The moment it touched the wall of Qi, it only paused for a moment before it broke through the wall of Qi and smoothly passed through.
Through the qi wall, Ye Chen locked onto the figure of the elder in the distance and chased after him at an extreme speed.
Behind him, although the Blood Dragon Snake's speed was not slow, it could not compete with Ye Chen's sword light flying art. Within two to three breaths' time, it had been thrown a couple of miles away, its creepy eyes filled with anger.
"Old guy, hand over the Dragon Blood Plant, and I will pretend this never happened." Soon, Ye Chen was only one mile behind the elder. The scenery on both sides was moving backward rapidly like a bubble.
The elder was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat. Without even turning his head, he chuckled and said, "Little brother, you can instantly break through the qi wall and escape from the Blood Dragon Snake's pursuit. Your strength is not bad, but it is still not enough in front of this old man. If you know what's good for you, you should leave immediately before I get angry."
"Oh? Seems like you have made up your mind not to return it."
Ye Chen's tone was calm, giving people an unfathomable feeling.
"Treasures belong to the fated. The Dragon Blood Plant should belong to me."
"Then die!"
After chasing for three hundred meters, Ye Chen pointed out his left index finger in the air. A waist-thick cyan Zhen Yuan finger shot out, creating a water-like pattern in the air.
"Eh? This is space mentality? "The elder looked back and his pupils shrank. Without enough time to dodge, he swung his left hand backward.
Dang!
The old man's hand shone with a golden light, and a golden shield appeared. The Zhen Yuan finger smashed on the golden shield, making a teeth-aching metal explosion sound. Sparks flew everywhere like fireworks.
Staggering back a few steps, the old man stood on top of a boulder and looked at Ye Chen. "Since you really want to die, this old man will fulfill your wish."
There were a lot of treasures on the island, and the elder did not want to get involved with Ye Chen. However, that was under the condition that Ye Chen would not bother him.
"It's not up to you to decide who lives and who dies."
Stopping his steps, Ye Chen's eyes shone with a murderous vibe, and his expression turned a little more serious. His Void Shattering Finger Art had already reached forty percent completion, and its power was only slightly weaker than his Gold Resonant Radiance Art, which had reached eighty percent completion. It was expected that his opponent would not die, but it was surprising that he had only taken a couple of steps back.
"This old man's fishing rod has killed countless people. Today, I will add another life to my tally." The old man shook the fishing rod in his hand and looked at Ye Chen expressionlessly. It was as if he was looking at a fish, a fish that had delivered itself to him.
"I am afraid that the result will disappoint you."
Ye Chen did not take the initiative to attack. The elder was very powerful, and his fishing rod was even more mysterious and unpredictable. Before figuring out what was going on, attacking recklessly would only bring him more opportunities.
Whoo!
A wave of strong wind blew across, and the air was filled with the unique color of the island.
The old man made his move. The fishing rod in his hand shook once, and a silver light disappeared into the surreal space, shooting towards Ye Chen's neck without a sound. The fishing line was stretched perfectly straight, merging with the color in the air. It was hard to tell where the line was with naked eyes.
Ye Chen indeed did not expect his opponent to attack this fast. He leaned his body back and flicked his left finger. The sword qi and the silver light clashed together.
Ding! The silver light was bounced away. It was a sharp silver blade, and there seemed to be a transparent fishing line tied to it. Occasionally, it would shine with a crystal light.
The old man sneered. The skinny hand that was holding the fishing rod sank down, and his Zhen yuan flowed rapidly along the fishing line. All of a sudden, the tip of the silver blade shone with a cold light. It shook once in the air, attacking towards Ye Chen again. Ding!
Ding! Ding!
The silver blade was like a maggot on a bone, never leaving Ye Chen's body. His protective Zhen yuan was like a thin piece of paper in front of the silver blade.
"Shadow!"
His body turned into a shadow, Ye Chen suddenly lowered his body and shot out while sticking close to the ground.
"Earthquake Sand!"
A skinny palm pressed on the ground, and a muddy yellow halo spread out. Along with a rumbling sound, the hard ground shook for hundreds of times before turning into pure sand. The sand wave shot up into the sky. Ye Chen had to wake up from his shadow state and back out in the air.
"This guy is powerful."
It was the first time that Ye Chen had met a warrior who was at the same level as him. His opponent had a lot of battle experience, and was very cunning. Every time he attacked, it would be at the perfect time and angle. While not showing any flaws, he kept pressing forward.
"Withdraw!"
The old man shook his head slightly and pulled back his fishing rod. In front of him, the silver blade circled around with Ye Chen as the center, and the transparent fishing line wrapped around Ye Chen. As long as the circle shrank, even if Ye Chen's defense was twice as strong, he would still be cut in half.
"Shadow Splitting!"
At that critical moment, Ye Chen left behind a shadow while his real body shot up into the sky, reaching a height of ten meters.
"Old man, it's my turn."
Once in the air, Ye Chen flicked both of his hands. The instant the space rippled, the lotus heart sword Qi shot out towards the old man like a torrential rain.
"Danger!"
The old man took a deep breath and threw out a palm attack on the ground.
Rumble!
A sand wall with a yellow halo appeared, blocking in front of the sword Qi.
There were so many sword Qi that the sand wall could only block for a blink of an eye. After that, it was punctured into a sieve and landed on the old man's protective Zhen yuan.
"Earth Walking Art!"
The old man was hit by a couple of sword Qi attacks. In his shock, his feet sank into the sand, disappearing without a trace.
In midair, Ye Chen sneered. The lotus heart sword Qi's attacking range expanded like a summer storm, turning the area where the old man had disappeared into into thousands of holes.
"Earth Shattering Palm!"
A figure covered in blood rushed out from the sand under Ye Chen's feet, throwing out a palm attack. The palm power was extremely powerful, and it seemed to be able to shatter anything that touched it.
"Gold Resonant Radiance Sword!"
Ye Chen was already prepared for the old man to jump out of the sand and attack him. His body slid back a step and he held his longsword in his right hand before throwing it down.
Boom!
The golden-green sword beam and the earthy yellow palm energy collided. One contained a vibrating force, while the other contained a crushing and explosive force. The resulting energy exploded, forming a golden, green, and yellow light ball that swallowed both of them and expanded rapidly.
Pooh!
The old man puked out a mouthful of blood and fell down into the sand. Ye Chen's body bent and shot up into the sky, enduring the extreme pressure.
"Take another sword attack of mine!" Ye Chen was the first one to recover from his paralysis. He followed the pressure and threw out another sword attack. The bright sword light was like a solar storm. Before the sword Qi even arrived, a sword hole had already appeared on the surface of the sand. Countless grains of sand had been shattered into tiny particles by the vibrating sword pressure.
"This brat is tricky."
The old man had to dig deeper. He was only a few hundred meters deep when the huge power started to spread out on the sand layer by layer.
Sensing that the old man was still alive, Ye Chen threw out one sword attack after another, showing the power of the Gold Resonant Radiance Sword without a doubt.
"Damn!"
Right then, the old man's expression finally changed as he took out a small tower from his storage ring. It was only one foot tall, but the aura it gave off was as heavy as a mountain. No, it was ten times heavier than a mountain. As he poured his Zhen yuan into it, the small tower shone brightly and expanded. It broke through the surface of the sand, revealing its tip and body.
"What is this thing?"
Ye Chen hurried to increase the distance between him and the old man.
Boom!
Waves of sand rose up as the whole tower appeared in the air. On the first floor of the tower, the old man was covered in blood, stuffing pellets into his mouth.
"It has the aura of an extreme rank weapon! It is a semi extreme rank weapon!" Ye Chen realized that the tower was a great item, and an extremely rare defensive great item at that. Defensive great items were not limited to great armors, and could be in other shapes. The ones that could change their sizes were only extreme rank great items and replicas of extreme rank great items.
Ye Chen wondered where this old man had found a semi extreme rank weapon. Although they were only replicas of extreme rank weapons, they still had thirty to forty percent of the power of the real thing. Some of the top semi extreme rank weapons might even have fifty to sixty percent of the power. Even Life and Death Realm warriors would not be able to ignore it.
"Little brother, I am willing to return the Dragon Blood Plant to you. How about we call it even?" The old man poured his Zhen yuan into the tower while talking to Ye Chen through the tower.
Ye Chen's eyebrows flicked, "You are willing to return the Dragon Blood Plant?"
With the appearance of the semi extreme rank weapon, Ye Chen thought that it would be a long battle, since it would be impossible for him to break the tower open. So, the old man would definitely be able to recover for a while before coming out.
"Indeed, I am willing to return it." The old man was very straightforward as he took out the blood-colored Dragon Blood Plant and shot it out of the tower.
Letting the plant fall onto the ground, Ye Chen cautiously approached it. After confirming that nothing was wrong, he sucked it into his hand.
"It is indeed the Dragon Blood Plant! What is this old man thinking?"
Ye Chen's eyes flickered.
The old man was a bit worried, but he still said with a calm face, "You can see that my tower's defense is very powerful. You will not be able to break in, and I will not be able to attack you either. So, the best solution is to stop the battle."
"No need to say more. I am not interested." Ye Chen did not expect the old man to tell him the truth. If the tower had not appeared, he would have spent some time to kill the old man. But now that the situation had changed, he had to consider the consequences of attacking forcefully. Who knew what other tricks the old man had up his sleeves? If he really had to fight to the death, it would not be something he wanted to see. So, getting his Dragon Blood Plant and injuring the old man was already the best outcome.
Shoo!
His body flashed once as Ye Chen turned into a beam of light and disappeared.
Letting out a breath, the old man looked at the direction where Ye Chen had left with a dark look in his eyes.
"Yuan Splitting Tower is an extreme rank item, but it is the worst among all the replicas. Each time I use it, it will be damaged a little. After using it this time, I wonder how long it will last."
The reason why the old man wanted to return the Dragon Blood Plant was not because of anything else, but because he cherished the Yuan Splitting Tower. Even if the tower was damaged, it was still a life-saving treasure. Unless it was a life or death situation, he would not use it. So, naturally, he would not waste time with Ye Chen.
Putting away the Yuan Splitting Tower, the old man left the place quickly, disappearing into the horizon.
