"Make your move! I'll make you feel despair. "
Wei Longtao was extremely confident in his defense. He simply didn't think that Ye Chen could break through his defense and heavily injure him. Of course, he didn't dare to be careless. His muscles swelled, and every inch of his body contained a terrifying energy, causing his skin to be covered in a layer of blood-colored light.
On the other side, Ye Chen was standing several miles away. He didn't draw his sword, nor did he take any stance. However, his gaze gradually sharpened as it locked onto Wei Longtao's aura.
As the night wind whistled, the spectators held their breaths as they stared at Ye Chen. They wanted to see Ye Chen's' true 'strength.
"Kill!"
Two beams of cold light flashed through his eyes. Ye Chen pointed out with his right hand, and the gold sword on his back automatically took out of its scabbard. It shot out at a speed that was beyond the soul power's perception. Because of its unbelievably fast speed, everyone's eyes were still focused on Ye Chen, waiting for him to perform his ace attack.
"Danger!"
Wei Longtao's scalp went numb. Then, as if he had been electrocuted, the numbness spread from his head to his feet, and then back to his head. This was no longer his consciousness warning him of danger, but his body's instinct. In fact, he didn't even have time to think in this short period of time.
Clang!
On his chest, magma-like sparks splashed, and the strong smell of iron could not be dispersed even by the wind. In the next moment, Wei Longtao spurted out a large amount of blood and was instantly sent flying dozens of li away like he was riding on a cloud. Along the way, blood flowed out of his eyes, nose, and ears, wriggling like little snakes.
"Hall Leader Wei lost?"
The spectators were a little dazed. They had been waiting for Ye Chen to make his move. Unfortunately, from start to end, they only saw Ye Chen's right hand move, and Hall Leader Wei was sent flying with sparks of magma splashing out from his chest.
Hiss!
After a moment of daze, the spectators sucked in a cold breath. A move that could be seen clearly wasn't scary. What was scary was that they couldn't see anything.
"Return to the sheath!"
Ye Chen changed his mind, and the gold sword flew back into the scabbard on Ye Chen's back, its sharpness dimmed.
"This is the sword that defeated Hall Head Wei?"
Only then did everyone understand that Ye Chen's killing move was a flying sword. As for whether or not it was thrown by hand, they were a little confused because they didn't have the time to pay attention at that time.
"Sword Sect's Ye Chen is worthy of his title."
Wu Chuan and Xu Danian were filled with admiration. When they first learned that Ye Chen was a Grandmaster of the Sword, they did not take it too seriously. But now, they understood that there was probably no one among the grandmasters of the sword who could be a match for Ye Chen. Ye Chen was the new Grandmaster of the Sword. Even in the Eastern Shallow Sea, there was not a single grandmaster of the sword who could contend against him.
"Hall Master Wei, who has shaken the Blood Battle Ocean for decades, has actually been defeated. This Vice Hall Master Ye is truly heaven-defying. I can't believe it!"
"Me too. I thought he was just bragging."
"However, we still don't know why Hall Master Wei fought with Vice Hall Master Ye."
Everyone discussed spiritedly, sighing endlessly.
After heavily injuring Wei Longtao, Ye Chen extended his hand, and a powerful suction force pulled the opponent back, causing him to spurt out another mouthful of blood.
"Wei Longtao, what else do you have to say?"
Wei Longtao no longer had the strength to fight. He didn't even have the strength to lift a finger. He looked at Ye Chen with resentment, "So what if you defeated me? Do you think the elders of Elder Association will believe an outsider like you and forcefully convict me? Ye Chen, today's humiliation will be repaid in the future. I, Wei Longtao, will not rest until you are dead."
"You should save these words for the elders of Elder Association. As for whom they choose to believe, that's their business."
Grabbing Wei Longtao, Ye Chen flew toward the Transfer Palace Hall. This matter was urgent, so he couldn't rush to Dragon God Celestial Palace.
Once Ye Chen left, Chen Yuxin and Xing Meilian looked at each other in dismay. Ye Chen's domineeringness had shaken them. The majestic Azure Dragon Hall Master still couldn't escape the fate of being carried away. Ye Chen was the first, and perhaps the last.
Dragon God Celestial Palace, Transfer Palace Hall …
Carrying Wei Longtao, Ye Chen appeared outside the Transfer Stone Gate.
"Dragon God Envoy!"
Inside the Transfer Palace Hall were four attendants.
Ye Chen said, "Inform all the elders to go to Elder Hall."
"Yes!"
Before leaving, the four attendants shot a glance at Wei Longtao. Their expressions were a bit strange, but they didn't dare to ask too much. Their figures flickered, and they each separated.
…
In Elder Hall, elders rushed over one after another. However, when they saw Wei Longtao being escorted by Ye Chen, they were somewhat dumbstruck. Not to mention how Ye Chen had captured Wei Longtao, just what crime Wei Longtao had committed was extremely puzzling.
In a short while, the third elder, second elder, and great elder all arrived.
After all, they were the three great elders, and their ability to keep their cool was quite profound. Apart from a bit of surprise, they didn't reveal too much of an expression.
Clearing his throat, the great elder asked, "Dragon God Envoy, what's going on?"
Ye Chen narrated the matter of Yao Yifeng being a spy and how Wei Longtao had killed him in great detail. Then, he spoke of the reason why he suspected Wei Longtao, without any embellishment.
Wei Longtao raised his head and coldly said, "Do you believe me or him?"
"This …!"
Quite a few elders hesitated. In truth, although Wei Longtao had killed Yao Yifeng a bit impulsively and also a bit strange, he was still the Azure Dragon Hall Lord, a person with great authority and status only below the great elder. Capturing him just like that was truly a bit … Some people even thought of themselves. Ye Chen even dared to capture Wei Longtao. If there came a day when he suspected them, would he also capture them without any regard for the rules?
Of course, since Ye Chen was the Dragon God Envoy, they couldn't say anything on the surface. Although Elder Hall was the place where decisions were made, and all matters were decided by them, their authority wasn't the greatest. Above them, there were still the Left and Right Protectors who had always been hiding in the shadows.
"Hall Lord Wei, if you're not guilty, no one will do anything to you. Don't worry." An elder who was on good terms with Wei Longtao comforted him, and quickly glanced at Ye Chen.
"That's right, Hall Lord Wei, don't be impatient. Vice Hall Lord Ye only suspects you. You were a bit impulsive in killing Yao Yifeng."
Elder Yu, who was sitting next to him, transmitted his voice to Ye Chen, "Dragon God Envoy, you were a bit impulsive this time. Wei Longtao is the Azure Dragon Hall Lord after all, and his connections aren't small. Most importantly, there isn't enough evidence. Moreover, I'm sure that many elders will be afraid of you because of this matter and gradually distance themselves from you."
A cold smile appeared on Ye Chen's face, "Impulsive? I don't think so. If he's a spy, leaving him in the Azure Dragon Hall will only bring endless disasters. As for the Elder Hall members being afraid of me and distancing themselves from me … Haha, Elder Yu, honestly speaking, I'm not that infatuated with authority. I only believe in strength. With sufficient strength, even the heavens can be pierced. Authority is nothing more than fleeting clouds. "
