"Ye Chen!"
Letting out his soul power, Xia Houzun could sense that it was indeed Ye Chen who had broken the wall. Sensing his killing intent, Xia Houzun was even angrier than before.
According to the rumors in the martial world, Ye Chen was the martial genius who had the highest chance of making it to the top. Once he made it to the top, one of the top five young warriors would have to step down. It was an unwritten rule, which was based on the ancient times. Once there was a top young warrior in the central Sky Martial Region, the other four regions would each have a top young warrior, making it exactly five. Since then, it had been passed down from generation to generation.
In his eyes, there was no chance for Ye Chen to make it to the top, at least not before the top five young warriors were over forty years old. Right now, Ye Chen dared to show killing intent toward him, which meant that he was looking down on him. It was not something that could be tolerated.
Boom!
Rocks flew everywhere, and a huge crack appeared on the hard wall. It was like the mouth of a demon, connecting to hell.
The sword qi shot out, and a human figure materialized, appearing right in front of Murong Qingcheng.
The second Ye Chen appeared, Murong Qingcheng's body went soft. Her black bat wings shrunk and went back into her body before landing on the ground.
Reaching out his hand to hold Murong Qingcheng, Ye Chen said with a light voice, "Using your demon power essence again?"
"Yeah, I was planning to use my Sky Demon Finger to wound him badly. But, his Void Shattering Finger was very fast. It blocked out my Sky Demon Finger power and canceled out half of its power."
The finger power from the Sky Demon Finger was extremely fast. Otherwise, it would not be a martial art that was inherited from the Demons' bloodline. But, Xia Houzun's Void Shattering Finger contained the space profound, which when trained to the extreme, would be able to ignore the distance between dimensions. Naturally, it would not be slower than the Sky Demon Finger, and might even be faster. If it were not for the Void Shattering Finger, that finger attack would have definitely made Xia Houzun's wound even worse.
Nodding, Ye Chen looked at Xia Houzun coldly, "Alright, although it is a bit early, I do not mind. Let's have a battle right here!"
"Let's have a showdown? You?"
Ye Chen being able to break through the wall had indeed surprised Xia Houzun a lot, but it was not enough for him to think that Ye Chen could be on the same level as him.
"What? Is it funny? I can guarantee that you won't be able to leave safely today. You'll have to see some blood. "Ye Chen's expression was indifferent.
"Don't joke around. This is the funniest joke I have ever heard." Xia Houzun was so angry that he started laughing instead. He looked very arrogant, not taking Ye Chen seriously at all.
Soon after, his tone changed, and he said in an awe-inspiring manner, "A joke is a joke, but right now, I have indeed been angered by you. I will not beat you to death, but I will break all the bones in your body, and see exactly how hard your bones are, and whether they are as hard as your mouth."
"As for how hard it is, you'll know once you try it. The prerequisite is whether you have the strength to do so."
Ye Chen held the hilt of the Thunder Disaster Sword, his sword aura ready to be unleashed.
"Cut the bullsh * t! Today, I will show you just how big the gap between you and me is." Shoo! A gold light flashed once as Xia Houzun shot out toward Ye Chen. Outside of his body, strings of gold strings appeared, spreading out and cutting into the walls of the tunnel, leaving cracks on them.
"The gap is not up to you to decide. I will wake you up."
Leaning his body forward, Ye Chen's whole body shot out close to the ground. His right hand held the Thunder Disaster Sword tightly, and a section of the sword was already exposed in the air.
"Xu King Finger!"
The distance between the two shortened rapidly. When it was less than twenty meters, Xia Houzun's gold robe danced in the air as he pointed out a finger at Ye Chen's forehead. As he did so, a king level shadow appeared behind him, which also pointed out a finger attack.
Chin!
Taking out the Thunder Disaster Sword, Ye Chen shook his right hand. The lightning-like sword body shook twice in the air, and a cross shaped sword light clashed with his opponent's finger power.
Shoo!
That powerful finger power shattered instantly under Ye Chen's precise cut. Of course, that cross shaped sword light had used up all of its power as well, so it disappeared instantly.
"Breaking the power with tricks? But, I would like to see how you are going to break it next! "
His body flew out in a slanted manner, Xia Houzun flicked out all ten of his fingers, bringing out countless afterimages. Then, beams of falling star finger power shot out. That bright starlight spread out, dying the whole tunnel with a different color. It was so beautiful and dangerous.
Bending his knees, Ye Chen jumped backward. Before his feet even touched the ground, his left hand's five fingers had also brought out countless afterimages. That light-like lotus heart sword qi attacked toward his opponent's falling star finger power. Pooh!
Pooh!
The lotus heart sword qi was shattered one after another. Xia Houzun's falling star finger power contained the powerful starlight profound after all, which was extremely powerful and fast. However, the lotus heart sword qi was not a profound martial art after all. Even with the help of the sword intent, it was still not as powerful as the falling star finger power.
But, it did not matter if one lotus heart sword qi was not as powerful as one falling star finger power. Two or three of them would be enough to compete with his opponent. Right then, Ye Chen's left hand's five fingers had already disappeared. That endless beam of sword qi shot out, trying to cancel out the falling star finger power.
"How could he shoot out so much at once?"
Xia Houzun could not help but change his expression. His falling star finger power was already fast enough, but his opponent's sword qi was even faster and more numerous. It seemed like he did not even need to store up his power at all.
Not bad!
Ye Chen's lotus heart sword qi indeed did not need to store up its power, since it was already stored in his dantian. That massive green lotus was like a sword qi factory, its efficiency was unbelievably high. Before one round of sword qi had even been shot out, there would already be new lotus heart sword qi.
"Comet Finger!"
Changing his finger art, Xia Houzun performed an even more concentrated and powerful Comet Finger. That finger power was like a massive comet, with a huge attacking range. Ye Chen and the space around him were all within the attacking range, which was extremely hot.
"Gold Pattern! Break!"
As his feet landed on the ground, Ye Chen pushed his legs and shot out. The thunder disaster sword in his hand sliced across the air, and that beautiful gold pattern spread out, cutting that finger power in half immediately. The gold pattern did not stop there as it continued to spread out toward Xia Houzun. Even time seemed to have slowed down.
"How could his power have improved so fast?"
Xia Houzun was shocked. He knew about Lan Xieqing's power, which was nothing to worry about at all. He did not think that Ye Chen would be able to beat him within ten attacks. Even if he were twice as powerful, it would not make any difference. But, he did not expect that Ye Chen's power had not only increased by one time, but by a couple of times.
"Draw the Sky!"
His finger power was pushed out as Xia Houzun's index finger drew a circle in front of him. A layer of space pattern blocked out the gold pattern.
Swoosh!
The destructive power of the gold pattern was not normal. The space pattern had just been formed when it was attacked immediately. It was cut in half from the middle, and the crack was smooth and soft as if it had been polished with great care. There was not a single bit of roughness or unevenness.
"Break!"
Casually pointing out his finger to shatter the gold pattern that had used up all of its power, Xia Houzun's expression was extremely dark.
"Alright, you do have some power. But, it is too early to be happy. This next attack will kill you within one second."
Xia Houzun took a deep breath. The Zhen yuan inside his body was like a flood that had just been opened. It started to boil, one wave higher than the other. The tip of his right index finger shone with a dim starlight. The starlight was very reserved, and a light halo spread out like a candle flame.
"Star Nuclear Finger!"
Before, when Xia Houzun and Murong Qingcheng were battling, that Star Nuclear Finger was only a casual attack that he had performed casually. After all, Murong Qingcheng was not Bai Wuxue, and would not let him use all of his power easily. But this finger attack of his contained all of his power. The horrifying Star Nuclear Gravity appeared out of nowhere, as if there were countless strings that had wrapped around Ye Chen and pulled him over.
"Don't you know that I am a sword artist?"
A sneer flashed past Ye Chen's face as he ignored the Star Nuclear Gravity that was working on his body and Zhen yuan, waving out a sword attack.
As Ye Chen waved out that sword attack, part of the Zhen yuan inside his body had been dragged out, forming a blue light ball three feet in front of his index finger. However, part of his Zhen yuan had also been forcefully poured into the Thunder Disaster Sword, condensing into sword qi and shooting out. With a swooshing sound, the blue light ball that contained the gravitational force of the star core looked like a leaking balloon, letting out beams of sword qi.
"How is this possible? My Star Nuclear Finger Attack was broken so easily!"
Ye Chen's performance before was indeed out of Xia Houzun's expectation, but it was not enough to change his expression. But, as soon as his Star Nuclear Finger Attack was broken, his expression finally changed.
What he did not know was that Ye Chen's sword intent was even more powerful than Lu Shaoyou, who was one of the top five young warriors. Lu Shaoyou should not be afraid of Xia Houzun's Star Nuclear Finger Attack, so Ye Chen would not need to worry about it at all. The reason why the sword intent could increase one's attacking power was because it could make the sword qi more condensed. If others' sword qi was like metal, then Ye Chen's would be like diamond.
Therefore, no matter how powerful the Star Nuclear Gravity was, it would not be able to do anything to such a condensed sword qi. It had been punctured instantly, turning into a leaking balloon.
Of course, it was not like the Star Nuclear Gravity did not work at all. At least, when Ye Chen pushed his Zhen yuan, a lot of it had been dragged over, forming a blue light ball. And it was still because of Ye Chen's sword intent protection. Otherwise, that sword attack would be even more powerful, and it would be hard on Xia Houzun.
All in all, Xia Houzun's Star Nuclear Finger Attack could not handle Ye Chen's sword qi at all, and it could not turn the sword qi into pure energy.
As the Star Nuclear Gravity was broken, Xia Houzun backed out quickly, removing part of the sword qi from his body. The expression on his face could not get any uglier.
In the distance, Murong Qingcheng saw that Ye Chen and Xia Houzun were fighting on par with each other, and she could not help but be moved. She had only guessed that Ye Chen's power had grown to an unfathomable level, and she was afraid that he might already have the power of one of the top young warriors. But, thinking was just thinking, and seeing it in reality was still quite shocking. She had already prepared herself. Once Ye Chen fell into a slight disadvantage, she would join hands with Ye Chen to wound Xia Houzun and force him to back out, even if it would worsen her wounds to an irreversible degree.
But it was obvious that Ye Chen's power had truly reached a level that people could only look up to.
Shoo!
Xia Houzun was one of the top five young warriors after all. Although Ye Chen was powerful, it was still not enough to make him feel helpless. A cold light flashed through his eyes as Xia Houzun stomped his foot on the ground. That rich gold light spilled out, approaching Ye Chen at an extreme speed. Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two clashed with each other all of a sudden, turning it into a close combat.
"Void Shattering Finger!"
Tilting his body, Xia Houzun suddenly pointed out his finger, which was indeed his most powerful Void Shattering Finger. Even Bai Wuxue would have to use all of his power to block it.
In such a close combat situation, even normal attacks would have to be adjusted to their highest reaction speed. Otherwise, they would not be able to handle it, not to mention the Void Shattering Finger that contained the profound of space.
Boom!
The gold finger power landed right on Ye Chen's protective Zhen yuan layer.
A cold look flashed through Xia Houzun's face. In the past half a year, his Void Shattering Finger had improved a lot, and it was already ninety percent complete. Its destructive power was way more powerful than when he was battling with Bai Wuxue. He did not believe that Ye Chen would be able to handle it.
"Spiritual Sword!"
Ye Chen did not care about his protective Zhen yuan being hit by the Void Shattering Finger at all as he waved out a sword attack. That gentle sword wind instantly reached Xia Houzun.
