The crowd looked at the two people on the battle stage, their eyes filled with anticipation. Ye Chen and Duanmu Yu were finally going to fight.
The battle between the two empires hadn't started yet, but everyone had already heard about the grudges between Ye Chen and Duanmu Yu. Duanmu Yu had killed Ye Chen's brother, stolen Duanmu Yu's wife, and the grudges between the two empires. Now, they were finally going to settle everything on the battle stage.
Although Ye Chen was strong, Duanmu Yu wasn't weak either.
No one could tell who would win and who would lose.
"You should feel lucky that I can't kill you on the battle stage. Otherwise, you would be a dead man now."
Duanmu Yu spat out. He took a step forward, and the terrifying pressure of a Saint enveloped Ye Chen's body.
"But I still won't let you off. I will cripple your cultivation, break your limbs, and make you lose all your face."
Duanmu Yu raised his head high, his eyes filled with disdain. He knew what this battle meant. If he won, he wouldn't let Ye Chen off. Ye Chen was seriously injured and couldn't participate in the following battles. Naturally, he didn't have the right to interfere with the marriage.
Moreover, Murong Xue was standing in the attic now. If she saw Ye Chen being carried out of the arena like a stray dog, she would definitely give up. Promises, love, they were all just fleeting clouds. In front of absolute strength, they seemed so insignificant.
Therefore, even if Duanmu Yu used all his strength, he would still win this battle.
As for losing, Duanmu Yu didn't even consider it. He wouldn't lose. Absolutely not.
"What you said, I will return it to you word for word."
Ye Chen didn't say anything more. He suddenly raised his head and took a step forward. A terrifying Zhen Yuan roared out. It was pitch-black like ink and crazily rushed towards Duanmu Yu, filling the entire space.
With Ye Chen as the center, the roars of dragons and tigers could be heard. Zhen Yuan wreaked havoc. The space started to tremble as if it was about to be torn apart.
"Kill!"
Ye Chen coldly spat out a single word. His fist punched out as a beam of moonlight cascaded down. It was incomparably sharp, like a silver sword, directly aiming for Duanmu Yu's neck.
"Scram!"
Duanmu Yu roared furiously. He suddenly punched out with his arm and a surge of lightning and fire energy shot towards the fist. Rumbling sounds filled the air. The lightning and fire were torn apart and the moonlight dissipated. The two of them were evenly matched.
"Moonless!"
Ye Chen's entire body was filled with killing intent. The tip of his fist seemed to be covered in a layer of white frost. When he attacked, even the blazing sun in the sky seemed to dim a little.
The moon was like a blade.
It was so sharp that it could cut through anything. In an instant, it tore through the rolling thunder and fire and arrived before Duanmu Yu. The moonlight was still there, like a thin veil, but the murderous intent was so terrifying.
"Sea of Thunder Fire!"
Duanmu Yu hastily retreated. The moonlight was too sharp and aggressive. It didn't give him any chance to breathe.
Endless thunder and fire gushed out from Duanmu Yu's body, turning into a vast sea of fire. The sharp moonlight bombarded the sea of fire and was instantly submerged, turning into nothingness. However, Ye Chen didn't move at all. His body was floating in the air. His eyes were cold and his fists were tightly clenched again.
Buzzing sounds could be heard as the sea of thunder and fire surged even more violently, almost filling up the entire space. Lightning arcs and flames could be seen everywhere, causing the crowd to suck in a cold breath. This was the power of a Saint. How terrifying!
At this moment, Duanmu Yu's entire body was covered in thunder and fire. His armor was flickering with flames. In the rolling thunder and fire, it was so dazzling. It was like the eyes of a poisonous snake, coldly staring at its prey. It was waiting for the best opportunity to take its prey's life.
"Destruction of Thunder and Fire!"
The flames bloomed with a strange divine light. The thunder and fire on Duanmu Yu's body rushed towards Ye Chen crazily. The momentum was astonishing. If there was a mountain in front of Duanmu Yu, it would be completely incinerated. Not even powder would be left behind.
"This move is not simple."
Chang Qingshan's eyes suddenly lit up. He was a little surprised and looked at Duanmu Yu who was covered in thunder and fire. His eyes were filled with admiration.
The crowd also felt the terrifying power. They couldn't help but hold their breaths. Their eyes were fixed in front of Duanmu Yu. They didn't dare to blink for fear that they would miss a scene.
In the attic.
Murong Xue's hands were clasped in front of her chest. It seemed like she was praying. She was nervous and flustered. She didn't want Ye Chen to lose, but she also didn't want to see Ye Chen get injured. Her heart was full of conflict.
However, at this moment, Ye Chen closed his eyes. He ignored the thunder and fire in the sky, ignored the cries of the crowd and ignored Duanmu Yu's ferocious face.
In his mind, there was nothing but endless darkness.
Buzz!
A pitch-black Zhen Yuan suddenly bloomed. The crowd stood up one after another. Ye Chen, it was a bit too late to resist.
At this moment, the thunder and fire had already covered the sky. Thunder and fire were rolling and raging. It was as if two peerless beasts were going to slaughter the world. The pitch-black Zhen Yuan looked so small, it seemed like it would be annihilated at any moment.
Swoosh!
A bright ray of moonlight flashed by. It was very conspicuous in the pitch-black Zhen Yuan, but very quickly, that ray of moonlight disappeared. It came quickly and left even faster. It was as if it had appeared for a fleeting moment. Soon after, it completely disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
"Moonless!"
A voice came from the sky. Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes. Behind him, pitch-black Zhen Yuan filled the air. Sometimes it was as white as frost, sometimes it was as black as ink. One black and one white, it poured down like a flood. The terrifying thunder and fire hadn't even touched Ye Chen before it was completely submerged.
"What kind of fist technique is that?"
The crowd was astonished. Duanmu Yu let out a crazy roar and released all of his power. At the same time, a vigorous soul power was released from Ye Chen's body. He did not hold back at all and attacked Ye Chen directly. Duanmu Yu's eyes were filled with anger and anger.
"Let's see how you can resist my Soul Technique!"
Duanmu Yu seemed somewhat crazy. A strange sneer blossomed on his face. Under the cover of the thunder fire, his soul power turned into an incomparably sharp needle. It came and went like the wind. Its speed was astonishing, as if it had been practiced countless times. It pierced through the space and directly approached Ye Chen's forehead.
Pop!
The soul needle disappeared without a trace. It entered Ye Chen's mind and pierced his soul.
At that moment, endless punches fell from the sky. The black and white light turned into a vortex and sucked Duanmu Yu into it. Some were sharp, some were soft. Two different kinds of power bombarded his body. The veins all over his body were exposed. It was as if his body was going to explode. His face showed an incomparably painful expression.
However, waves of arrogant laughter were emitted from his mouth. It was so arrogant and overbearing.
"Even if your punches are unparalleled and can break my thunder and fire, so what? Ye Chen, you have not entered the Saint Plane. Once you are hit by my Soul Destroying Needle, your soul will be greatly damaged. The final winner of this battle will still be me."
Duanmu Yu's smile was getting wider and wider. In the end, it was close to madness.
The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, wanting to see Ye Chen's miserable appearance as he clutched his head in pain. However, the moment he turned his head, his entire body stiffened.
