Through the Demonic Tiger Secret Blood Art, Lin Tian's current offensive power was faintly surpassing Ye Chen's. The moment they clashed, he felt that the situation was in his favor, and a cold smile appeared on his face. However, that smile soon froze.
Ye Chen's two swords crossed, and a thumb-sized thunder ball appeared. This thunder ball was dark blue in color, and the lightning it emitted was also dark blue in color. Countless zigzagging lightning bolts shot out, turning the area within a thousand meters into a lightning zone.
Bang!
The thunder ball's expanding speed surpassed Lin Tian's reaction. The thumb-sized thunder ball instantly expanded several hundred times, then several thousand times. The resulting explosive power sent Lin Tian flying, and he felt as if all the bones in his body had been shattered. Moreover, he felt an intense numbness.
The two clashed and then separated.
Swish!
The impact Ye Chen received was far less than Lin Tian. After retreating a hundred meters, he stomped on the void and turned into a sword light.
"Not good!"
Lin Tian's muscles were numb, and he could only use thirty to forty percent of his power. Forcibly resisting would only result in failure.
"Heaven Sieve Armor, release!"
At this critical moment, Lin Tian's Protective Zhen Yuan thickened by several inches, looking like a layer of glass. Meanwhile, the outline of a mysterious armor appeared within Lin Tian's robes. As the armor's outline appeared, mysterious runes appeared on the Protective Zhen Yuan. These runes were connected by fine threads and slowly revolved around Lin Tian.
"Half-step Extreme Grade Armor!"
Ye Chen abruptly stopped his momentum.
"With the Heaven Sieve Armor protecting me, I'm already in an invincible position. If this goes on, you'll lose without a doubt." Originally, Lin Tian didn't intend to use the Heaven Sieve Armor. As far as he was concerned, apart from the five young tycoons, no one was worthy of him using it.
"Half-step Extreme Grade Armor! This time, Ye Chen is in trouble. If he can't break the Heaven Sieve Armor's defense, he won't be able to injure Lin Tian. Moreover, Lin Tian can attack without any restraint. If this goes on, Ye Chen will lose for sure. "
"I heard that Lin Tian obtained the Sky Sieve Armor from the Treasure Holy Pagoda. I wonder which level did he reach?"
No one looked at Lin Tiandong with disdain for using the Heaven Sieve Armor to protect himself. To a cultivator, artifacts were also a part of one's strength. If everything was fair, then it would be unfair. After all, some artifacts were obtained by people who risked their lives to obtain them.
Ye Chen sized up Lin Tian's barrier and said, "Forget it, I don't have much enmity with you. Let's call it a day. I only hope that you won't provoke me in the future."
Crippling Duan Lengya was more than enough. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Ye Chen did not want to offend the Lin family, one of the top four families in the world. It was not necessary.
"You want to leave?"
Lin Tian's face was filled with anger. He indeed didn't have much enmity with Ye Chen, and Lin Ku was only slightly injured. He would be able to fully recover after a month or two of recuperation. However, his injuries could recover, but his reputation couldn't. Today, he definitely couldn't allow Ye Chen to leave safely. He, Lin Tian, couldn't lose.
"What, you want to fight with me?"
Ye Chen's eyebrows twitched.
"Ye Chen, could it be that you're afraid? Artifacts are also a part of power. My brother being able to obtain the Heaven Sieve Armor is his own ability. No one will say anything." Below, Lin Ku's voice was heard, carrying a hint of pride. Lin Tian's expression also relaxed as he looked at Ye Chen with a mocking expression.
"Hehe!"
Ye Chen chuckled, "Me, afraid? Since you want to fight, I'll accompany you. "
Buzz!
The storage ring flickered with a dim light, and a dark blue, domineering sword appeared in Ye Chen's right hand. This sword had not yet been unsheathed, but the air was already filled with destructive lightning arcs.
"What! Semi extreme grade sword!"
Lin Tian cried out in shock.
Everyone's expression changed as well, especially Lin Ku. He wanted to say something, but he immediately shut his mouth, his face full of shock.
Chin!
Unsheathing the Thunder Disaster Sword, the sword's body flickered like lightning. Ye Chen looked straight at Lin Tian and said indifferently, "Lin Tian, if you want to fight, let's fight. I'm not afraid."
"Damn it! How come he also has a semi extreme grade artifact?"
Lin Tian cursed inwardly.
"What, you're giving up?"
Ye Chen saw Lin Tian's flickering gaze.
"Give up? How is that possible? Today, you and I must decide who's stronger. " At this point, Lin Tian already had no way out. He could only fight. If he didn't fight, it would be more humiliating than losing.
"I'd like to see whether your semi extreme grade sword is sharper or my Heaven Sieve Armor's defense is stronger. Demonic Tiger Blade!"
The Demonic Tiger Secret Blood Art's effect was still ongoing. Lin Tian roared and raised his blade with both hands, slashing at Ye Chen's blade.
"Breaking your defense is a piece of cake!"
Ye Chen didn't plan to clash head-on with the opponent. The latter was a body refining expert who liked to clash head-on. However, Ye Chen wasn't. His previous clash was merely to test the limits of his offense. Now, he already knew the result. It was time to thoroughly defeat the opponent.
Swish!
With a flash of sword light, Ye Chen raised his speed to the limit and suddenly appeared on Lin Tian's right side. The Thunder Disaster Sword pierced forward, using the perfected Amaranthine Nature.
The rune-covered barrier caved in a bit, and its edges had spiderweb-like cracks. It looked like a transparent glass that was about to shatter.
Seeing that Ye Chen didn't want to clash head-on, Lin Tian promptly waved his blade.
However, what was cut was only an afterimage.
"Golden Resonant Radiance!"
In the sky, Ye Chen slashed down with his sword upside down. A dazzling golden sword-shaped light wave with sharp sawteeth cut at Lin Tian's barrier. Ceng Ceng Ceng Ceng!
Ceng Ceng Ceng Ceng!
Dazzling sparks flew everywhere, and Lin Tian's barrier was almost cut open. At the crucial moment, he waved his blade upward, shattering the sawtooth light wave.
As the sawtooth light wave was shattered, a smile appeared on Ye Chen's face. Lin Tian's barrier was weaker than he had imagined. It seemed like the opponent indeed specialized in strength. Therefore, although the latter's Zhen Yuan cultivation base was the same as his, at the peak of mid Sea of Soul realm, it wasn't as solid as his, nor was it as pure as his. Moreover, artifacts required Zhen Yuan to activate. Clearly, he couldn't activate the Heaven Sieve Armor to its limit.
Shua Shua Shua Shua …
Ye Chen circled around Lin Tian. Lin Tian's reaction wasn't slow either. Out of the three times, he managed to parry two of Ye Chen's attacks.
"Here's my chance!"
A feint triggered Lin Tian's counterattack. Ye Chen once again crossed his two swords and slashed at Lin Tian's barrier.
Creak Creak!
A crisscrossed sword scar appeared on the barrier, growing larger and larger as it penetrated inside.
As the lightning ball shot out, the barrier shattered like an egg, unable to hold on any longer. The huge recoil caused Lin Tian to bleed from his seven orifices. The blood-colored patterns on his face also dimmed and disappeared, returning to his body. The Tiger Demon Secret Blood Art could not be used indefinitely. Being able to last until now meant that the side effects were not small. With so many internal and external problems, Lin Tian would be in a weakened state for a very long time.
"Lin Tian lost!"
"Duan Lengya, Lin Ku, Mu Yunhe, and Lin Tian … the four of them fought with Ye Chen one after another, and they all lost miserably. I dare to bet that in less than three months, Ye Chen's name will shake the world, and his fame will catch up to the five young tycoons."
"Do I need you to say that? To be able to defeat Mu Yunhe and Lin Tian, it would be hard for him not to become famous."
As the crowd discussed, Ye Chen flew to Murong Qingcheng's side, and then he glanced at Lin Ku in the restaurant.
Lin Ku noticed Ye Chen's gaze and was startled. He was heavily wounded, and many of his meridians were broken. He couldn't even take one attack from Ye Chen.
"Let's go!"
Ye Chen didn't plan to continue chasing after Lin Ku. After all, Duan Lengya was the main culprit, and the others were just accomplices.
As Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng left, Lin Ku let out a sigh of relief. They were finally gone.
Glancing at Mu Yunhe, Duan Lengya, and his brother, who was even more heavily wounded than him, Lin Ku let out a bitter laugh. This time, they had truly lost everything. Who would have thought that Ye Chen would become so powerful in just a few months? In the past, when they fought with Hai Wuya, they always had the upper hand. Only when Yan Fengfeng was there would they not be able to gain the upper hand. But now that Ye Chen was here, they didn't even have the qualifications to fight. What frightened him the most was that a few months ago, Ye Chen was not his opponent at all.
…
In a month, the incident in West Tomb City had spread throughout the whole Sky Martial Region. Everyone knew that there was a person called Ye Chen who had defeated Lin Ku, Duan Lengya, Mu Yunhe, and Lin Tian. His strength had shocked all the geniuses.
Dugu Family …
Inside a quiet courtyard …
"Ye Chen, I didn't expect you to improve so fast. Right now, I am indeed not your opponent. But, this is just the beginning. Once I have the qualifications to challenge Xiao Chuhe, I will challenge you as well."
Sitting under a tree, Dugu Jue's eyes shone brightly. One could see that compared to two months ago, Dugu Jue's Zhen yuan had become much richer, reaching the peak of mid Sea of Souls Realm. During the battle with Tai Shichong, he had just broken through to mid Sea of Souls Realm, and he didn't have the time to consolidate his cultivation base. Therefore, he couldn't use any treasures to increase his cultivation base to the peak of mid Sea of Souls Realm.
Today, Ye Chen's incident in West Tomb City had spread to the Dugu Family, and then to him through his cousin Dugu Ming. When he first heard the news, he was shocked as well. But, he soon calmed down, since it didn't matter much at the moment, since everyone was making progress. It was just a matter of how much progress they made. As far as Dugu Jue was concerned, only when one couldn't make any progress would the winner be decided. After all, every level had its limits. For example, one's Zhen yuan cultivation base could only reach the peak of late Sea of Souls Realm at most, and one's profound could only reach the mid rank profound at most. Normally, one's will would reach the peak of the fourth step, and those who could break through to the fifth step were few and far between.
The top five young warriors had basically reached the point where they couldn't make any progress. Therefore, they were the most powerful among the young warriors. Even Lin Tian, who was close to the top five young warriors, couldn't handle a few attacks from Xiao Chuhe. Therefore, the top five young warriors stood at the peak of this level. If they wanted to catch up, they would have to reach the point where they couldn't make any progress.
