Supreme Lord of Towers

Silence!

Above the Life and Death Peak, all the students were stunned by the scene before them, unable to speak and daring not to utter a word.

Even they hadn’t expected that Duanmu Ying would step in to save Duanmu Jie at this moment.

According to the ancient rules of Celestial Flame Academy, duels on the Life and Death Battle Platform are not to be interfered with by anyone.

Yet Duanmu Ying openly violated this regulation, something that had never happened before.

If an ordinary student violated this rule, the consequences would be extremely severe, possibly even resulting in immediate execution by the Law Enforcement Hall personnel.

However, Duanmu Ying was the Master of Profound Sword Peak, and many elders of the Law Enforcement Hall were from their Profound Sword Peak. Who would dare to challenge her!

”Damn it! It’s Duanmu Ying. She violated the academy’s rules. Why isn’t anyone stopping her, why?” At this moment, Ye Chen’s eyes turned blood-red, his teeth clenched tightly, making an extremely piercing sound.

At this moment, Ye Chen was overwhelmed with fury.

The duel above the Life and Death Battle Platform clearly prohibited interference from anyone.

Yet, Duanmu Ying forcefully intervened to prevent him from killing Duanmu Jie.

What did she take the rules of Celestial Flame Academy for?

What truly chilled Ye Chen’s heart was that, besides Ouyang Zhong, none of the top brass of Celestial Flame Academy came forward to stop Duanmu Ying, including the Celestial Flame Peak Master.

One must know, the Celestial Flame Peak Master is the Palace Master of Celestial Flame Academy, holding supreme position within it.

If he was willing to come forward, even Duanmu Ying wouldn’t dare act so recklessly.

However, the Celestial Flame Peak Master chose to watch coldly, with no intention of stopping Duanmu Ying.

As if he, too, tacitly approved of Duanmu Ying saving Duanmu Jie.

How unjust this was to Ye Chen!

Was it because he had refused the Celestial Flame Peak Master’s invitation last time and did not join their Celestial Flame Peak that he was treated with such disdain?

If that’s the case, then the Celestial Flame Peak Master is truly petty.

”Palace Master, please, seek justice for Ye Chen!” At this moment, Ouyang Zhong’s gaze suddenly fell on the Celestial Flame Peak Master, speaking with a pleading tone.

Now, only the Celestial Flame Peak Master could seek justice for Ye Chen.

As for others, they simply didn’t have the qualification or courage.

”Enough, Ouyang Zhong, this duel is over. Duanmu Jie is a seed student of our Celestial Flame Academy; do you really want him to die at Ye Chen’s hands? The loss to our academy would be immense.” The Celestial Flame Peak Master said indifferently, with a hint of deep mockery flashing in his eyes.

In his view, although Ye Chen’s body refining talent and martial arts talent were strong, the latter was unwilling to join their Celestial Flame Peak.

Therefore, no matter how formidable Ye Chen became, it had nothing to do with him.

Adding to that, Ye Chen could not awaken his bloodline, destined to have extremely limited achievements in this life, not even qualifying as an Immortal Seed.

Thus, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to offend Duanmu Ying, the Master of Profound Sword Peak, for a student with no future like Ye Chen.

”Ha! Palace Master, aren’t you afraid this will chill everyone’s hearts? In the future, wouldn’t the duels on the Life and Death Battle Platform become a joke?” Ouyang Zhong’s body suddenly trembled, his fist clenched tightly, and he laughed in extreme anger.

He truly hadn’t expected that not only did the Celestial Flame Peak Master not intend to stop Duanmu Ying, he even sided with Duanmu Jie.

This action really chilled his heart.

”Insolent! Ouyang Zhong, who do you think you are to question the Palace Master’s decision? The Palace Master is right; a genius like Duanmu Jie is not someone Ye Chen has the right to kill. You better take Ye Chen and leave quickly!” Soul Palace Master Chen Fei sternly chastised Ouyang Zhong.

A mere Grand Elder of the War King Hall dared to question the Celestial Flame Peak Master’s decision, not even realizing his own insignificance!

”Haha, Ye Chen, did you see that? Even if a waste like you defeated me, so what? Dreaming of killing me is sheer fantasy!” Above the Life and Death Battle Platform, Duanmu Jie, who had been scared half to death, suddenly laughed, the corners of his mouth filled with deep mockery, exuding an air of confidence.

He knew Duanmu Ying would not watch him get killed by Ye Chen.

After all, his father was Duanmu Ying’s brother, who died saving her from enemies.

To repay her brother’s life-saving grace, Duanmu Ying always showered Duanmu Jie with much care.

How could she just watch Ye Chen kill Duanmu Jie?

”Damn it, if not for Duanmu Ying’s interference, you’d already be a dead man. What are you so proud of?” Ye Chen gritted his teeth, his chest filled with anger.

”Insolent! My name is not for the likes of you to utter! Who gave you the courage, now kneel and apologize!” At this moment, an intense killing intent shot from Duanmu Ying’s eyes, causing even one’s soul to shiver involuntarily.

Rumble.

In the next moment, the Celestial Spirits enveloping Ye Chen’s body became increasingly violent, as if a series of ancient divine mountains were pressing down on him heavily, causing his feet to sink into the battle stage.

However, Ye Chen did not kneel but struggled to endure.

If not for his Human Emperor Body having reached the Second Level of the Dragon Elephant Realm, his legs would likely have been crushed and broken.

”Duanmu Ying, you are simply going too far.” At this moment, Ouyang Zhong was utterly furious, terrible Celestial Spirits surging from his body, as if transformed into a raging beast, throwing a punch towards Duanmu Ying.

Although his strength could not match Duanmu Ying’s, he was still at the peak of the Celestial Spirit Realm.

Even Duanmu Ying did not dare to ignore his attack, hastily moving to block.

Because of this, the Celestial Spirits suppressing Ye Chen weakened significantly at once.

Otherwise, even Ye Chen might have suffered severe injuries.

”Stop it, this is not the place for your foolishness.” Just as Duanmu Ying and Ouyang Zhong were about to clash, the Celestial Flame Peak Master suddenly issued a stern shout, his tone full of authority.

Ouyang Zhong, though filled with rage, had extreme apprehension towards the strength of the Celestial Flame Peak Master, and so he could only retract his power.

”Hmph! Ouyang Zhong, you have some nerve to attack me for a mere waste. If not for the Palace Master’s sake, today I would definitely let you taste the feeling of being crushed!” Duanmu Ying said, her expression extremely grim.

As a mere Grand Elder of the War King Hall, daring to attack someone like her, the Master of Profound Sword Peak, was simply outrageous.

”Duanmu Ying, I had considered allowing your Profound Sword Peak students to join the War King Hall, but now, I will not give you any positions at all, even if the War King Hall is expelled from the Celestial Flame Academy, I will not agree to it.” Ouyang Zhong said coldly, his tone unyielding.

”Fine, very well, Ouyang Zhong, you said it yourself, do not regret it later.” Duanmu Ying’s body trembled with anger, but she laughed instead, a flicker of killing intent flashing deep in her eyes imperceptibly.

”Ye Chen, I will make you repay this humiliation a hundredfold. Last time, your foster parents were luckily saved, but next time, they won’t be so lucky. You should prepare to collect their corpses!” Above the Life and Death Battle Platform, Duanmu Jie’s lips curled into a cruel smile as he taunted Ye Chen.

As a seed student of the Celestial Flame Academy, he had almost been killed by Ye Chen just now.

To him, this was an unbearable shame.

So, he would never let Ye Chen off like this.

He not only wanted Ye Chen dead but would also not spare his foster parents.

”Duanmu Jie, do you really think you can leave here alive today?” Ye Chen asked coldly, murderous intent surging from his entire being.

”Of course, just relying on you, a mere waste, what can you use to kill me?” Duanmu Jie sneered, looking at Ye Chen as if he were a pathetic clown.

Yes, Ye Chen’s strength was indeed formidable, capable of contending with a Half-Step Celestial Spirit Realm warrior.

However, he was suppressed by Duanmu Ying’s Celestial Spirits, unable to move at all.

Thinking he could kill him under these circumstances was simply delusional.

”Then I’ll show you, Storm Sword Qi, activate for me.” At this moment, Ye Chen’s eyes turned blood red, suddenly letting out a furious roar.

Whoosh!

The next second, a dazzling cyan Sword Qi surged from the depths of Ye Chen’s dantian, shooting towards Duanmu Jie.

Though Ye Chen’s body was firmly bound by Duanmu Ying’s Celestial Spirits.

The cyan Sword Qi was exceptionally sharp, piercing through Duanmu Ying’s Celestial Spirits in an instant, unable to be stopped.

Of course, this was mainly because the group of Celestial Spirits used to bind Ye Chen was too weak, not even reaching a tenth of her internal Celestial Spirits.

After all, there was simply no need to use so much Celestial Spirits to deal with an ant like Ye Chen.

Thus, Ye Chen had this chance.

Otherwise, even the cyan Sword Qi derived from the Storm Swordsmanship could not possibly pierce through Duanmu Ying’s Celestial Spirits.

”No! Is that Sword Qi? How is this possible, how can this be!” In the next instant, Duanmu Jie’s smile froze on his face, replaced by overwhelming shock and disbelief.

After all, achieving Sword Qi usually required cultivating a Yellow Level Top Grade Martial Art to the Transformation Realm.

And Ye Chen had obtained the Storm Swordsmanship for only about a month.

How could he have cultivated this Yellow Level Top Grade Martial Art to the Transformation Realm in such a short time?

This was virtually a fantasy.
