This was the first time Long Chen had heard of the Innate Battle Body. From what Lan Ling 'er said, it seemed like the Astral Battle Body, the Thunderflame Battle Body, and the True Martial Demonic Body that Long Chen cultivated were all acquired battle skills. However, Zhao Danchen's Golden Battle Body was something he was born with.
Seeing the doubt in Long Chen's eyes, Lan Ling 'er continued, "There are very few people who are born with an Innate Battle Body. According to what I know, in the entire Wushu Sage Empire, Zhao Danchen is probably the only person with such a heaven-defying talent. If it were not for the Golden Battle Body, he would not have such terrifying strength today. That Martial Emperor Zhao Wuji might not have accepted him as his only direct disciple."
After hearing Lan Ling 'er's words, Long Chen had a rough understanding of the Innate Battle Body. Indeed, he had never seen it before. In other words, this Zhao Danchen was very strong. Long Chen knew that even if he met Zhao Danchen, he would not have any chance of victory and would definitely die.
Yet, even under Zhao Danchen's frightening pressure, Lei Zhen and the others still dared to fight to the death. From this, it could be seen exactly how courageous the War Clan was. This time, they had come with the attitude of facing death with equanimity.
As Long Chen and Lan Ling 'er spoke, the first person from the Wushu Alliance to participate in the wagered battle had already entered the arena. It was a man in yellow robes. He was extremely skinny and tall. His eyes shone with a cold light. He seemed like a sword, a sword that showed off its ability.
Of course, he was currently hugging a sword.
"Junior Brother …" On the other side of Long Chen, Jian Chen frowned. He had seen this man long ago. He had not expected that the first person to represent the Wushu Alliance would be him.
Hearing the words' Junior Brother ', Long Chen roughly knew the identity of this yellow-clothed martial artist.
"This is Sword Saint Sikong's disciple. His strength is no weaker than mine, and others call him the Sword Of Hades. The sword in his hand is of the same series as my Cloudmist Sword, the Underworld Sword. He practices the Underworld Sword Law."
The Sword Of Hades.
Jian Chen's strength was quite powerful among those in the first level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm. After all, he was a genuine Sword Warrior. Since he said that the Sword Of Hades's strength was equal to his, if Lei Zhen went out, the final result would be hard to predict and he would not be able to win for sure.
Of course, things would be different if Mo Xiaolang were to take action.
As soon as the Sword Of Hades arrived in the field, his sharp eyes fell on Jian Chen. He said coldly, "You betrayed your sect and killed your ancestors. I know you're the one who will fight today. Get your ass out here. I finally got this opportunity to kill you, Jian Chen."
His voice was hoarse and cold, like a sword stabbing at the crowd. Just from his voice, one could tell that he was not a weakling.
However, did he think that Jian Chen would fight today?
Then he was gravely mistaken. Jian Chen was indeed strong, but he might not be able to win. Therefore, Jian Chen said directly, "You're thinking too much. The War people and the Dragons are full of experts. There are countless experts. It's not my turn to embarrass myself. Naturally, there will be experts who will take care of you. Also, don't accuse me of betraying my sect and killing my ancestors. Not only do I not owe you anything, but I have a grudge against you. Why can't I kill you?"
Of course, Jian Chen did not feel any pressure about the death of Sword Saint Sikong.
"You."
Jian Chen's words made the Sword Of Hades pause. They all thought that Jian Chen would fight. Could it be that there was someone else besides Jian Chen? Could it be Lei Zhen? Indeed, Lei Zhen seemed to have this kind of strength. However, the problem was that Lei Zhen was the current leader of the War people. Would they let Lei Zhen go out and risk his life? What if he died?
In this wagered battle, there was no rule stating that life and death couldn't be determined.
The Wushu Alliance people all looked at Lei Zhen. Unexpectedly, Lei Zhen did not make a move. The one who came out was a handsome young man next to Long Chen.
Long Chen patted Mo Xiaolang's shoulder and said, "Win quickly."
Mo Xiaolang nodded and smiled at Long Chen. He said, "Big brother, don't worry. A fighter like this is not a problem for me."
When Mo Xiaolang was twenty meters away from the Sword Of Hades, the Wushu Alliance people finally confirmed that the opponent of the Sword Of Hades was this unknown youngster.
King Wu and the Wushu Sage roared with laughter. Even Yang Ningfeng had a mocking smile on his face. He said, "Do the War people and Dragons have no one else? You actually sent out such a young boy. It seems that you are ready to admit defeat. I think it's better to let Jian Chen go, lest you lose and be unconvinced."
The only person who did not laugh was Zhao Danchen.
"There is no need to change the person. If Yang Wuhuang is not satisfied, you can change the person." Lei Zhen said.
Yang Ningfeng was stunned. He had no idea what Lei Zhen was trying to do.
At this moment, Zhao Danchen secretly cursed Yang Ningfeng for being an idiot. Afterwards, he said, "Why did the War people send out a daemonic beast? Did you say that you could send out a daemonic beast in the bet?"
In reality, he was not familiar with the bet that the idiot Yang Ningfeng had made. However, he did know that the flames that Xiao Lang spat out were relatively powerful when he transformed into a Sun-Devouring Daemon Wolf.
Back then, he had become covered in cold sweat from fright.
"So it's a daemonic beast."
Everyone was rather surprised. Only upon closer inspection did they discover that the handsome young man really did give off a faint daemonic aura.
After transforming into a human, most daemonic beasts would retain a small portion of their beast form. It was very rare to see one like Xiao Lang. In terms of handsomeness, Xiao Lang was undoubtedly the most handsome. To the people of the Wushu Alliance, they felt like they were not even as handsome as a daemonic beast. It was rather unbelievable.
"A daemonic beast."
The Sword Of Hades also studied Mo Xiaolang. No matter how he looked at him, he felt that Mo Xiaolang seemed harmless.
He did not care whether he was a daemonic beast or not. Since Jian Chen was not coming up, he would directly win. That was enough.
On Long Chen's side, Lei Zhen responded to Zhao Danchen's question with a question, "When we made the bet, we never said that daemonic beasts couldn't participate. Among the War people, daemonic beasts are of great assistance. The daemonic beasts we raise can obviously participate. Are you afraid that I'll say that I've won, Zhao Danchen?"
Lei Zhen's provocative question directly made Zhao Danchen swallow his words. He glanced at Xiao Lang again and could not be bothered to reply, "Daemonic beasts are daemonic beasts. You can win the first round, but do you think you can win the second?"
The other people of the Wushu Alliance did not understand why Zhao Danchen would ruin their prestige before the battle even began. The Sword Of Hades saw that Zhao Danchen seemed to be looking down on him. He was a little displeased. He pulled out the Underworld Sword that was glowing with an earthen yellow light. The Sword Of Hades said coldly, "It doesn't matter if it's a human or a beast, it makes no difference in my eyes. I, the Sword Of Hades, am merciless. Since you've come to participate in the battle, you should be prepared to be killed by me."
Mo Xiaolang's lips curled into a faint smile. He did not move and just looked at the Sword Of Hades. His calm appearance made the Sword Of Hades feel that he was being looked down upon. The Sword Of Hades felt that it was a little shameful to be looked down upon by a daemonic beast.
"You're courting death."
With a light shout, the Sword Of Hades turned into a yellow sword shadow and pounced towards Mo Xiaolang. As soon as he made his move, Long Chen could see that the Sword Of Hades was almost on par with him in terms of speed and attack power.
As the Sword Of Hades's light surged, the surrounding dust swept towards Mo Xiaolang. The light and the dust instantly filled Mo Xiaolang's vision.
Mo Xiaolang still remembered what Long Chen had said before: speed. He wanted Xiao Lang to use his killing move as soon as possible so that he could achieve victory as soon as possible, just in case something unexpected happened. As a result, when the Sword Of Hades moved, Mo Xiaolang growled. A black flame swept over and a huge Sun-Devouring Wolf stood before the Sword Of Hades. Compared to the Sun-Devouring Wolf, the Sword Of Hades was pitifully small.
"So what if you're big? You're still going to die."
The Sword Of Hades sneered. Sword Qi whistled and the air buzzed. He suddenly swung his sword and the Sword Of Hades arrived above Mo Xiaolang's head in a single moment.
"Netherworld Sword Scripture, Nine Revolutions Spring Water."
The Netherworld Sword in his hand suddenly turned into a sharp whirlpool as he spun it. He stabbed towards Xiao Lang's head as blurs and sword Qi whistled.
The Sun-Devouring Wolf's eyes were already filled with pitch-black flames. He suddenly took a few steps back and the huge, black shadow on his body suddenly transformed into a huge wolf. It brandished its claws and fangs at the Sword Of Hades's attack. Boom!
Boom! Boom!
That crazy sword shadow was rapidly exchanging blows with the Little Wolf's Phantom Doppelganger. Every time they exchanged blows, sparks would fly.
"What the hell is this?"
The Sword Of Hades didn't recognize the Phantom Clone. If he did, he would have been even more shocked. Xiao Lang's Phantom Clone wasn't much weaker than Xiao Lang's, so it was able to resist the Sword Of Hades for a while.
At that moment, the Sun-Devouring Wolf didn't say anything. After the Phantom Clone entangled the opponent, its body quickly appeared above the Sword Of Hades's head. From above, it spat out a mouthful of Nine Underworld Demon Ancestral Fire like a tidal wave.
Stepping on the black flames, the wolf cub stood in the air. This also meant that once a beast reached the King Level, it would basically have the ability to fly.
"What kind of fire is this?"
While fighting against the Specter Doppelganger, the Sun Devouring Fiend Wolf suddenly spat out so many flames at him. Yellow Springs Sword Monarch felt a cold chill.
In his opinion, the flames should be hot. Although these cold flames weren't normal, the Sword Of Hades didn't think too highly of them. He just treated them as an attack from Xiao Lang, so he quickly executed his sword moves to force Xiao Lang's Phantom Clone to retreat temporarily.
