After leaving the Gemstone Islands, Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng headed south. Hundreds of millions of li away was a place Battle King had once visited. The reason Ye Chen had come to the Southern Deep Sea was precisely because of this. He wanted to see if that place was like the one in Battle King's memories.
In one night, Murong Qingcheng had already branded her soul imprint on the inside of the Purple Flame Demonic Glove. At this moment, she was fiddling with the purple flames, which were the inherent power of the glove and possessed extremely powerful corrosive properties.
As the purple flames receded, a faint black light pattern appeared on the surface of the glove. This was the dark halo formed by the dark energy. It had a tremendous amplification effect on warriors with dark energy. As for how much amplification it was, it could only be determined through a battle.
A thousand li behind the two, a flickering black radiance streaked across the sky and chased after them with astonishing speed. Its speed was so fast that it couldn't even be described as lightning.
"What belongs to me will belong to me."
Enveloped in the black radiance, Darklight King's eyes were ice-cold and emotionless. With a swish, his speed increased once again, and the black radiance flickered faintly.
"Coming!"
Ye Chen sensed a powerful fluctuation rapidly approaching from behind.
Turning around, he saw Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng standing side by side.
Swish!
With a flicker of black radiance, Darklight King appeared ten li away from the two.
"You two are truly daring! You actually didn't increase your speed to the maximum!" Darklight King was somewhat surprised. The speed of a half-step King wouldn't be too far off. Although he was confident in catching up to Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng, he didn't expect them to be this fast.
"Why would we hide from you? In fact, we were waiting for you. Fortunately, you didn't disappoint us."
Ye Chen said indifferently.
"Arrogant!"
Darklight King was infuriated by Ye Chen's attitude. A black radiance burst out from his body, making him look like a shining black sun. His powerful aura caused the ocean to surge violently.
"Ye Chen, let me."
Murong Qingcheng took a step forward.
"That's good. You can test out how strong the Shadow Armor and Purple Flame Magic Glove are." Ye Chen nodded.
With the Shadow Armor, even if Murong Qingcheng faced a veteran 'strongest' half-step King like the Darklight King, she would be invincible. Moreover, with the Purple Flame Demonic Glove, Murong Qingcheng's offensive power had already surpassed the majority of half-step Kings, allowing her to clash head-on with a 'strongest' half-step King. As for how powerful Murong Qingcheng would be, Ye Chen couldn't make a precise guess, because he himself had never exchanged blows with a 'strongest' half-step King.
"Hehe, you are sending your woman to her death. Don't think that just because she has the Shadow Armor and the Purple Flame Demonic Light Gloves, I can't do anything to her. The power of a 'strongest' half step King is something you will never understand." The Darkbright King was so angry that he started laughing. The black radiance on his body became even more dazzling. The piercing black radiance illuminated everything within several hundred li.
"There's going to be a war over there."
Several thousand li away, many people were rushing over.
They were Huang Mei, Yue Lingshuang, Yue Bingxin, Scarlet Fire King, steward He, as well as some well-informed half-step Kings.
Huang Mei's speed was the fastest. As she moved, she was like a flickering yellow light. With each flicker, she covered a distance of a hundred li.
Scarlet Fire King was second only to Huang Mei. With his entire body covered in flames, he was like a blazing meteor, emitting a dazzling fiery radiance.
Steward He had brought a total of four half-step Kings. Nobody knew what their intentions were, but their speed was very fast. They were clearly first-rate half-step Kings.
Yue Lingshuang probably hadn't raised her speed to the limit. Together with Yue Bingxin, two streaks of silver light streaked toward the dazzling black sun ahead.
"Aunty, faster!"
Yue Bingxin mustered her strength and continuously accelerated.
"I'll bring you along!" Yue Lingshuang smiled bitterly and grabbed Yue Bingxin's arm. The Silvermoon Whitefox phantom suddenly appeared behind her. With a swish, its speed doubled. At a glance, it seemed as if it was leaping in the void.
Swish Swish Swish Swish …
Nearly twenty people flew toward the three's location at the same time.
Ye Chen and the other two had also sensed their arrival, so they exchanged glances.
"I forgot to say goodbye to Yue Bingxin." Ye Chen had left in a hurry. Although he had coincidentally met Yue Bingxin in the Golden Island Auction House, he hadn't seen her again.
"Young master Ye, this person is extremely powerful. You should let my aunty help you!" From afar, Yue Bingxin's voice wrapped in Zhen Yuan transmitted to Ye Chen's ears.
"Many thanks for your kindness, but there's no need."
Ye Chen tactfully declined.
Yue Bingxin anxiously said, "'Strongest' half-step Kings are not as simple as you think. They are different from ordinary half-step Kings. They have already refined Zhen Yuan into their bone marrow."
Refining Zhen Yuan into blood vessels could allow one to reach half-step King realm. When all three blood vessels were filled with Zhen Yuan, one would have to refine Zhen Yuan into the bone marrow. Once one reached this step, not only would their Zhen Yuan be incomparably robust, but its purity would also be incomparable to before. At this point, as long as one's profound martial skills and martial spirit reached the standard, one could be considered a 'strongest' half-step King.
"I know." How could Ye Chen not know the strength of 'strongest' half-step Kings? Just the disparity in Zhen Yuan alone was not something ordinary methods could make up for.
"Since you know, why are you still …?" Yue Bingxin was puzzled.
"Bingxin, let me talk to him."
Yue Lingshuang stopped Yue Bingxin and said to Ye Chen, "Young master Ye, perhaps you have some understanding of 'strongest' half-step Kings, but you definitely don't know as much as I do. After all, I'm a 'strongest' half-step King himself. To become a 'strongest' half-step King, refining Zhen Yuan into the bone marrow is only the most basic. My martial spirit might not necessarily be that much more powerful than the majority of half-step Kings, only a slight increase in strength. As for profound martial skills, I've heard Bingxin say that your profound martial skills are not the least bit inferior to 'strongest' half-step Kings, and might even surpass them.
However … "Yue Lingshuang's tone changed as she continued," 'Strongest' half-step King is only a general term. In fact, at this realm, one has already entered the first layer of Life-and-Death Challenge. The so-called Life-and-Death Challenge is a bridge leading to Life and Death Realm. There are three layers in total. Once one breaks through the third layer, one will officially become a Life and Death Realm King. However, the first layer is easy, but the second layer is extremely difficult. Precisely because of this difficulty, the gap between each layer is not small. According to my guess, Darklight King had already reached the second layer a year ago, and his strength is much higher than the first layer of 'strongest' half-step Kings. "
"Then, what layer is Senior Yue at?" Ye Chen asked.
Yue Lingshuang said, "I'm currently at the peak of the first layer. However, with the bloodline power of the Silvermoon Whitefox Clan, it won't be difficult for me to fight the second layer."
"Although I'm grateful for Senior Yue's good intentions, Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng have the confidence to fight the Darklight King. Senior Yue, just wait and see." With Battle King's memories, there was nothing Ye Chen didn't know regarding cultivation. However, Murong Qingcheng possessed demonic power and Dark Force Field, as well as the Shadow Armor and Purple Flame Demonic Gloves. She might not necessarily have the strength to fight the Darklight King. As for Ye Chen himself, there was no need to even mention it.
"Sigh, forget it. I know that youngsters are arrogant. Perhaps, you two will indeed give me a big shock." Yue Lingshuang shook her head. Since she couldn't convince Ye Chen, she might as well let them suffer a bit. In any case, she would be watching from the side, ready to lend a helping hand at the crucial moment.
"Young master Ye, miss Murong, you must be careful."
Seeing that the other party was still full of confidence even after her aunt had said this much, Yue Bingxin no longer tried to persuade them. She had a faint feeling that Ye Chen might really give them a big shock.
"Ye Chen, miss Murong, I believe the two of you will make the Darklight King eat a big loss." Unlike Yue Lingshuang, Huang Mei knew Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng very well. As far as she was concerned, the two belonged to the inhuman category. Of course, Murong Qingcheng was indeed inhuman, and possessing superhuman strength was understandable. On the other hand, Ye Chen belonged to the inhuman category.
"Hehe."
Ye Chen chuckled.
After a while, those who had rushed over to watch the battle stopped and watched from afar.
"The Darklight King might not have a hundred percent chance of winning one against two, but he should have a seventy to eighty percent chance. I wonder what their real strength is."
None of the spectators were ordinary characters. Each of them had keen eyesight. Although the Darklight King was a veteran 'strongest' half-step King, he also had a pseudo supreme grade artifact, and perhaps more than one or two. The reason they had come was partly to watch the show, and partly to fish in troubled waters.
Licking his lips, the Darklight King sneered, "It's been a long time since I've slaughtered. Today, I'll let you two experience my strength." The fact that he had reached the second layer of life-and-death chamber was only known by a few people. Only 'strongest' half-step Kings could sense it.
"Murong, be careful!"
Ye Chen signaled Murong Qingcheng with his eyes.
"I know, I won't be careless."
Murong Qingcheng flew out and stopped five li away from the Darklight King.
"What? One against the Darklight King?"
"I thought that kid had some ability. Who would've thought that he's relying on a woman. But, this woman's strength alone doesn't even have a ten percent chance against the Darklight King."
"Even if they're confident, they're too arrogant. Do they think the words of 'strongest' half-step Kings are spoken casually?"
Everyone's faces were filled with puzzlement, and soon after, they revealed expressions of pity. The two of them were probably going to die.
"Die!"
The Darklight King wasn't in the mood to talk with the two. His body flickered with a black light, and as if teleporting, he flew toward Murong Qingcheng at an extreme speed. Spreading open his right hand, a flickering black light faintly appeared.
"Retreat!"
Murong Qingcheng roared, and a purple-black electric current surged out of her body. The Dark Shadow Armor was immediately activated, and a formless and powerful force field fiercely radiated out with her as the center. Due to the force field being too powerful, the magnetic field of the heaven and earth was distorted, and wind, fire, thunder, and lightning flickered simultaneously.
Pop!
A shocking scene occurred. How did the Darklight King arrive? How did he fly back? The frightening recoil caused his face to turn pale, and his eyeballs to almost pop out.
This time was different from the previous exchange with Ye Chen. Murong Qingcheng had pushed the Dark Force Field to the limit, fusing it with the Heavenly Star Force Field. Even a 'strongest' half-step King wouldn't be able to get close to her. The might of the Dark Shadow Armor was fully displayed on Murong Qingcheng's body.
