Supreme Lord of Towers

At this moment, a skinny boy with fair skin was slowly walking towards the Dragon Map Battle Platform.

As he walked, he didn’t forget to turn his head and sneer at Ye Chen, with cold eyes flickering with terrifying murderous intent, making even the soul shiver uncontrollably.

This boy was none other than Zhao Ling.

”Master, quickly destroy this fool to prevent annoyance,” the Tower Spirit sneered.

”Yes!” Ye Chen’s eyes emitted a chilling light as his figure flashed, heading for the Dragon Map Battle Platform.

A moment later, he was confronting Zhao Ling from a distance of five or six feet, their gazes meeting with sparks flying between them.

”It’s Ye Chen, he’s really unlucky to encounter this madman Zhao Ling.”

”It seems, his winning streak is about to be broken. If he doesn’t quickly admit defeat, there’s even a high chance he might die at Zhao Ling’s hands,” the freshmen below the Dragon Map Battle Platform shook their heads and spoke.

They believed that although Ye Chen’s strength was formidable, having defeated strong opponents like Zhang Yue.

However, compared to Zhao Ling, there was still a notable gap.

After all, even Qian Li, who was stronger than Zhang Yue, was instantaneously defeated by Zhao Ling.

Ye Chen in front of Zhao Ling might not stand a chance either.

”It’s a pity, Ye Chen’s martial arts talent is quite decent, but he is definitely not Zhao Ling’s match, a Divine Soul Master in the Exorcism Realm can crush most cultivators of the same level with merely telekinesis, not to mention the other powers he possesses,” the Soul Palace Master shook his head in the magnificent hall, showing little hope for Ye Chen.

”Senior Chen is absolutely correct. Unless Ye Chen awakens a strong bloodline, he will surely be defeated, and may even be killed by Zhao Ling. If he has any self-awareness, he should surrender quickly, to avoid self-destruction,” Duanmu Ying nodded in agreement beside him, sharing the Soul Palace Master’s view.

”Ye Chen has encountered Zhao Ling, this Divine Soul Master; he mustn’t die at this madman’s hands, otherwise it would be too disappointing,” Ouyang Xue’s father, Ouyang Zhong, furrowed his brows tightly, thinking to himself.

Although he had learned from Ouyang Xue that Ye Chen had the power to defeat Xiao Lan.

However, Zhao Ling’s divine soul had reached the Exorcism Realm, being unmatched among peers, making it extremely difficult for Ye Chen to conquer him.

If he merely lost to Zhao Ling, there would still be a slim hope for promotion.

What he’s feared is, Ye Chen would be killed by that madman Zhao Ling.

”Ye Chen, be careful of Zhao Ling, losing the match is not a big deal, the most important thing is to preserve your life.” At this moment, on New Talent Peak’s observation platform, gathered numerous teachers and elders from Celestial Flame Academy, with Ouyang Xue among them.

However, at this moment, Ouyang Xue frowned deeply, her expression extremely grave.

Because she was very worried about Ye Chen’s safety.

In her view, although Ye Chen had quintuple Qi Sea Foundation, and had perfected several Yellow Level Lower Grade Martial Arts.

However, his cultivation was only at the True Qi Realm Fourth Layer, and he couldn’t even awaken his bloodline, defeating Zhao Ling, this Divine Soul Master in the Exorcism Realm, would be harder than ascending to heaven.

Thus, she only hoped Ye Chen could be safe, winning six consecutive victories in the ranking match was no longer important.

”Haha! It must be providence that I encountered you, this arrogant dog, in the competition; even if you kneel down and beg me now, it’s too late; today, I will let you die in despair and fear,” Zhao Ling’s features twisted together on the Dragon Map Battle Platform, with a sinister smile like a grim demon, chilling to behold.

Swish.

In the next moment, an overwhelming surge of telekinesis emerged from the depths of Zhao Ling’s Sea of Consciousness, controlling a Purple Gold Flying Saber in his sleeve, roaring towards Ye Chen.

Boom-boom-boom.

The air was instantly filled with piercing, deafening tearing sounds, like a thunderclap.

The speed of that Purple Gold Flying Saber was incredibly fast, seemingly transforming into lightning, slicing through the air, creating white air waves.

In a flash, that Purple Gold Flying Saber appeared in front of Ye Chen, fiercely stabbing towards Ye Chen’s feet, intending to sever all of Ye Chen’s tendons.

Because Zhao Ling thought simply killing Ye Chen was too easy, he wanted Ye Chen to experience despair before killing him.

”This flying saber’s attack power is around twenty times Tiger Power, easily piercing through Qian Li’s Protective True Qi, no wonder Qian Li was instantly slain,” Ye Chen’s expression remained calm, as if everything was in his control.

He finally understood why Zhao Ling could instantly kill Qian Li.

Because his telekinesis reached twenty thousand pounds, beyond the defense capability of Qian Li’s Protective True Qi.

Moreover, the flying saber’s speed was incredibly fast, even if Qian Li exerted all his strength, he couldn’t intercept it, thus, being pierced through the abdomen immediately and dying on the spot.

However, Ye Chen was different from Qian Li.

He cultivated the Human Emperor Body, making him much stronger than ordinary cultivators in speed, defense power, and even sensory perception.

In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, the flying saber was as fast as lightning, but Ye Chen could clearly track it with his eyes.

”Profound Gold Sword Technique.” Just as that Purple Gold Flying Saber was about to stab Ye Chen’s legs, a dazzling golden sword aura suddenly shot out from Ye Chen’s palm, accurately slashing at the flying saber above, emitting a piercing metallic collision sound.

Then, the Purple Gold Flying Saber instantaneously flew backwards, falling onto the ground, sparking a series of flashes.

”What? He actually blocked my flying saber, how is this possible?” Zhao Ling’s pupils shrank suddenly, his sinister smile freezing, unable to believe his eyes.

It’s known, the Qian Li he killed before, was like Ye Chen, having perfected a Yellow Level Lower Grade Martial Arts.

However, the opponent was completely unable to block his flying saber, not even having time to react before his abdomen was pierced by the blade.

And Ye Chen!

He not only clearly captured the trajectory of the flying saber but also instantly employed a Yellow Level Lower Grade Martial Arts, knocking the flying saber away.

How on earth did this guy manage to achieve this?

They were both cultivators of the True Qi Realm, so why was his reaction speed so much faster than Qian Li and the others?

”Heavens! Ye Chen actually blocked Zhao Ling’s flying saber. Isn’t this incredible?”

”Moreover, he just used a new Yellow Level Lower Grade Martial Arts, and he has already cultivated it to Perfection, which means he has mastered three Yellow Level Lower Grade Martial Arts.”

”Such martial arts talent and responsiveness are truly terrifying.” Many of the freshmen gasped, eyes wide with disbelief.

”You twisted-minded guy, do you really think no one can deal with you? Today, let me act as heaven’s executioner to prevent more innocent people from dying by your hand.” After blocking Zhao Ling’s attack, Ye Chen’s eyes erupted with a terrifying killing intent.

Originally, he had no grievances with Zhao Ling.

But this guy wanted to put him to death.

So naturally, Ye Chen would not be courteous to him.

Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to oneself, and Ye Chen would not make such a careless mistake.

Whoosh.

The next moment, Ye Chen’s body left a shadow at the original place, charging toward Zhao Ling like a meteor.

He didn’t use the power of the Human Emperor Body, only leveraging the True Qi from twenty Sea of Qi.

Otherwise, his speed could have been twice as fast.

After all, there was no need to use the Human Emperor Body against someone like Zhao Ling.

Whoosh.

In a flash, Ye Chen appeared within a meter of Zhao Ling, swinging his fist to strike.

”You ignorant dog, do not underestimate me, Purple Spider Bloodline.” At this moment, Zhao Ling roared with fury, his eyes turning blood-red, emitting a terrifying murderous aura.

Buzz.

The next instant, a three-meter-tall purple spider appeared behind him, its body like forged Divine Gold, brandishing sharp spider legs like Celestial Sabers toward Ye Chen.

This was Zhao Ling’s awakened Yellow Level Grade Three Bloodline, the Purple Spider Bloodline, one of the battleground strengths he prided himself upon.

If coordinated with his Divine Soul, it could unleash an unimaginably terrifying power.

”Ye Chen, be careful.” At this moment, on the observation platform, Ouyang Xue’s body trembled, her face turning terribly pale.

Whoosh.

A Purple Gold flying saber, gleaming with a frightening cold light, was whistling toward Ye Chen’s back at incredible speed.

At this moment, Zhao Ling was maneuvering his Purple Spider Bloodline for a frontal attack on Ye Chen while using telekinesis to control the Purple Gold flying saber towards Ye Chen’s back.

This strategy of attacking east while appearing to attack west was really hard to defend against.

If it were any other cultivator, they definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

”Trying to ambush me, it’s truly a fool’s dream.” A slight cold smile appeared at the corner of Ye Chen’s mouth, and with a flash, he disappeared from where he stood.

In fact, he had already noticed Zhao Ling’s intention, so he was constantly on guard against him.

”What? He actually dodged it.” Zhao Ling’s face dramatically changed, showing panic for the first time.

This tactic of attacking from the east and striking from the west was always immensely effective for him.

Even strong cultivators at the Half-Step Gang Qi Realm had suffered significant losses to him, nearly being slain.

Yet it turned out this strategy was completely ineffective against Ye Chen.

”Die, Five Elements Sword Technique.” While Zhao Ling was panicking, a figure suddenly appeared above Zhao Ling, with violent True Qi surging out, condensing into five dazzling sword auras.

Then, the five sword auras merged into one, becoming a five or six meters long Five-Colored Divine Sword, fiercely striking down on Zhao Ling.

At that moment, the entire Dragon Map Battle Platform was shrouded in the Five-Colored Divine Light.

”Not good.” Zhao Ling’s face suddenly turned even paler than a dead man’s, his eyes full of intense fear, and even his body was trembling violently.

With a loud thud.

In the next instant, the three-meter-tall purple spider was split in two by the Five-Colored Sword Aura.

Zhao Ling’s body flew out like a kite with a broken string, blood continuously spurting from his mouth, his expression filled with extreme terror and despair.
