Chapter 808: Chapter 798: The Demon of the Demon Blade

“Ye Zhen, do you dare to have a one-on-one duel with me again?” In front of the two armies, Young Master Demon Sound, Shang Lingqi, suddenly issued a solo battle invitation to Ye Zhen.

This action left many martial artists present a bit puzzled. However, what puzzled them even more was Ye Zhen’s attitude!

Because Ye Zhen actually agreed!

Given the current situation, the Red Fire Subdivision had the advantage due to the successful ambush with the grand formation. As the commander, Ye Zhen naturally had no need to take the risk of going out himself. Winning was fine, but if he lost, the advantageous situation might be ruined.

“A fight it is then. A defeated general, I’m not afraid of you!” With a cold laugh, Ye Zhen immediately flew forward a hundred zhang, leaving the protection of the martial artist army behind him.

Unexpectedly, the high-ranking members of the Red Fire Subdivision, like Yua Qianlou, Zuo Xiong, and the two Martial Guard commanders, did not try to dissuade Ye Zhen.

In fact, this had to do with the prestige Ye Zhen had quickly established within the Red Fire Subdivision over these days. Accumulating through several incidents, everyone believed that Ye Zhen’s decision was correct.

“That’s not necessarily true. I fell for your trick last time at the Spirit Returning Assembly; this time, I won’t!”

With a crisp ringing, Shang Lingqi shook the Demon Sound Golden Ring Blade in his hand but remained inside his own ranks with no intent to step out to fight, his eyes fixed on the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten above Ye Zhen’s head.

He knew clearly that if this Spirit Tier Beast guarded above Ye Zhen’s head, then the battle would be meaningless!

Ye Zhen naturally understood what Shang Lingqi meant, gently waved his hand to order the kitten to move far away, guarding from a distance against the four strong figures above, “Mr. Shang, now, do you dare to fight?”

Shang Lingqi’s old face blushed slightly but did not speak, nodding heavily, taking one step forward, and striding towards Ye Zhen through the air. As he approached Ye Zhen, the spirit light around him surged, and with each step, his momentum would soar significantly!

With each step forward, the imposing aura seemed tangible, almost causing the ground to stir!

Almost every Vein Forging Realm martial artist present could tell that Shang Lingqi was using a peculiar footwork technique to build up his power, and the moment his footwork stopped would be when his momentum reached its peak, and also the moment he launched a fatal strike.

The best choice against such a footwork technique that could continuously increase momentum was to launch a proactive attack to disrupt the opponent’s footwork and interrupt the opponent’s momentum-building rhythm.

However, this time, the martial artists at the scene misjudged again!

Faced with this peculiar momentum-building footwork technique that culminated in a thunderous strike once completed, Ye Zhen, as the target, remained indifferent, as if he had not seen Shang Lingqi’s attack at all. Standing there in the air, he kept turning his head and looking around, seemingly still searching for something at this moment!

This scene even puzzled the four strong figures in the high sky. Was this guy being too arrogant?

Indeed, the watching martial artists were not mistaken; Ye Zhen was indeed looking for something, to be precise, looking for people!

Ye Zhen had been continuously searching for the whereabouts of Yun Ce’s parents, Yun Pochuan and Zhou Muqing, who had not yet appeared.

Ye Zhen knew very well that among the enemies gathered in Red Fire Martial City, the positions of others might change with the situation, but Yun Pochuan and Zhou Muqing’s stance to eliminate Ye Zhen would absolutely never change, even if the allied forces of the Longevity Sect and Heavenly Net Sect were completely wiped out!

In fact, since arriving on the battlefield, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense had been dispersed, persistently searching for traces of Yun Pochuan and Zhou Muqing, mainly because their so-called means to ensure the kill of an Establishment King were too shocking, and they were definitely not bluffing.

Although according to the plan he overheard from the opponent, Yun Pochuan and Zhou Muqing were mainly targeting Ye Zhen’s master, True Person Black Water, the problem was that in the current situation, True Person Black Water was unlikely to appear!

Without True Person Black Water’s appearance, Yun Pochuan and Zhou Muqing might take action against Ye Zhen in advance!

Not being able to find Yun Pochuan and Zhou Muqing left a lingering unease in Ye Zhen’s heart. Ye Zhen knew very well that Shang Lingqi’s solo challenge at this time was to delay and buy time to break the formation.

But why wouldn’t Ye Zhen also be stalling for time, trying his best to spread his Divine Sense, attached to the Earth Spiritual Power, far and wide, searching for the possible ambush of Yun Pochuan and Zhou Muqing in the distance!

But strangely, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense had already spread to more than twenty li around, and while it had discovered hidden scouts of the Flying Tiger Hall nearby, it had not found Yun Pochuan and Zhou Muqing!

At this very moment, Shang Lingqi, who had taken nearly a hundred steps, finally reached the peak of his momentum, as if a dam filled to the brim, just waiting for the flood to be released!

“Ye Zhen, you’re too arrogant! But, I won’t hold back at all!”

With a loud shout, Shang Lingqi swung the Demon Sound Golden Ring Blade in his hand, drawing a mysterious trajectory, just like the waves in the dam, instantly smashing through the dam, raging with the flood!

In an instant, a golden blade light nearly two hundred zhang long traversed the entire sky, even overshadowing the sunlight, as the golden blade light poured down towards Ye Zhen like a rolling celestial river!

Wherever the blade light passed, even several li away, those ordinary Vein Forging Realm martial artists retreated in succession, driven back by the blade’s momentum!

In the high sky, the Fifth Stage Establishment King, Demon Blade Gongsun Li, from the Longevity Sect, watched this stroke of golden blade light and a hint of admiration appeared on his face, “Not bad. Shang Lingqi has finally stepped onto the true path of the blade; with this stroke, he’s glimpsed the doorway, making even this old man want to take him as a disciple!”

“Old Dao, stop dreaming! That kid Shang is the beloved disciple of our Sect Leader, and the future foundation of the Heavenly Net Sect awaits him to continue…uh…” The voice of Lady Suo’s Feng Ting suddenly stopped, “This is….”

In the sky below, Ye Zhen casually slapped out with a palm, a square meter-sized earth-yellow palm print greeted the celestial river-like golden blade light!

Strangely, the moment this earth-yellow palm print was struck out, it began to rapidly grow larger at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye!

Almost the instant it was struck out, the palm print quickly doubled in size!

“This is….”

Demon Blade Gongsun Li’s eyes suddenly narrowed, a strange light flashed, and his eyes were covered with a layer of light gray. As his eyes swept across, the sky immediately became multicolored!

Among them, the earth-yellow radiance was densely scattered all around, and at this moment, it was quickly gathering towards that earth-yellow palm print at a terrifying speed.

“Controlling Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, how is this possible?”

Almost simultaneously, Demon Blade Gongsun Li exclaimed, and beside him, Lady Suo Feng Ting along with two others were staring at the rapidly expanding earth-yellow palm print, faces full of surprise!

Meanwhile, Shang Lingqi was completely stunned!

Ye Zhen casually sent out a palm print, which instantly expanded to ten meters across.

The size wasn’t the important part; it was the aura it emitted. And this aura made Shang Lingqi extremely fearful!

Because in his perception, the aura of this palm print was already more than twice that of his full-strength sword light strike!

And it was still rapidly expanding!

“It seems, over this year, you really haven’t improved much!”

Boom!

With Ye Zhen’s low roar, the Earth Primordial Divine Palm, whose aura had expanded nearly fivefold since being shot out, fiercely slapped towards the golden sword light cutting through like a heavenly river!

This was also the first time Ye Zhen fully activated the Innate Soul Light to control Earth Spiritual Power to confront an enemy!

The next moment, the heavenly river-like golden sword light that had just boasted impressive momentum shattered immediately, much like a wheat stalk meeting a sickle, lightly touched and instantly shattered, harvested without a trace of suspense!

In the instant the two collided, the golden sword light that had received praise from the Establishment King shattered immediately. Following that, the earth-yellow palm print with a potent suffocating aura loomed down on Shang Lingqi!

“Oh no!”

In the sky, the Establishment King Lady Suo Feng Ting of the Heavenly Net Sect exclaimed. A blood-colored long rope suddenly flew out from her sleeve, shooting down quickly like lightning towards the Earth Primordial Divine Palm overshadowing Shang Lingqi, intending to rescue him!

Shang Lingqi is the most cherished disciple of the Heavenly Net Sect Master Wug Mengshan, and he must not be lost!

“Roar!”

A soul-stirring tiger roar suddenly echoed, and the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, lying in wait in the sky, suddenly leapt out, swiping its claw at the mid-grade Spirit Artifact, Life-taking Whip!

“Old Dao!”

Seeing this, Lady Suo Feng Ting exclaimed in shock. With the kitten obstructing, she absolutely couldn’t save Shang Lingqi, and thus immediately sought help from Demon Blade Gongsun Li!

Before Lady Suo Feng Ting’s exclamation echoed, just as the kitten moved, Demon Blade Gongsun Li’s wrist suddenly made a gentle motion, and a pitch-black blade light flashed instantly!

At this moment, Shang Lingqi’s face was utterly white with terror, staring at the earth-yellow palm print looming overhead, frantically unleashing swathes of sword gang, yet unable to halt the palm print in the slightest!

Just when Shang Lingqi considered himself doomed, a pitch-black blade light suddenly appeared beside him out of nowhere!

Hiss!

A light sound, and the sword light flashed, and Ye Zhen’s Earth Primordial Divine Palm was directly shattered by this blade!

“Hmm?” Ye Zhen raised an eyebrow, suddenly looking up at the sky.

Pow!

At the same time, a white light swiftly interacted with the blood-colored radiance in the sky, then high above, Lady Suo Feng Ting let out a sharp scream!

With one swipe from the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, her mid-grade Spirit Artifact, Life-taking Shoes, was directly sent flying, even the Divine Soul Imprint she left on the Life-taking Whip was shaken!

“Spirit Tier Mid-grade! It’s actually a Spirit Tier Mid-grade Spirit Beast!” Lady Suo Feng Ting stared at the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, her complexion greatly changed!

“Demon Blade Gongsun Li, truly worthy of reputation. Just this one blade, so demonic!” Ye Zhen’s voice rang out, that blade by Gongsun Li saving Shang Lingqi earlier was truly demonic!

Not only did it flash arrival instantly, but though it seemed like one blade, it had the effect of splitting the Earth Primordial Divine Palm into countless fragments!

“Hmph, Ye, you’re quite the monster yourself, aren’t you? This method of controlling Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, you can actually do it?

But you’re not a match for this old man! Quickly, call out your teacher, True Person Black Water! This old man is very curious, the one who taught you, such a monstrous brat, what sort of divine being they are!” Demon Blade Gongsun Li said!

Almost simultaneously, a Divine Soul Telecommunication sounded in the minds of both Pan Feng and Shang Lingqi, “Attack now, no more delay, directly use the Demon-Annihilating General!” (To be continued.
