Chapter 2199: Chapter 2197: Ye Tianchen, the Immortal Cockroach

[Please tip the author, the more tips the better, more fun for everyone!]

Up in the sky where Ye Tianchen and Bai Wuji had been, only Bai Wuji remained!

The young Martial Artists watching were all dumbstruck, holding their breath as they stared up at midair. Forget talking— even their breathing was extremely quiet, afraid that a single careless gasp might shatter this stillness, because the calm at this moment carried an indescribably shocking weight!

Bai Wuji was no longer sitting cross-legged. He slowly stood up, his face somewhat pale, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. Maybe the others didn’t understand very well, but Bai Wuji knew perfectly clearly himself: just now, he had unleashed the Divine Skills of the ”Demon Blood Control Skill” that he was most capable of triggering, pushing himself right to his absolute limit, forcibly destroying this small patch of heaven and earth— all just to kill Ye Tianchen!

”To be able to force me this far, you can die with your eyes closed. But I, Bai Wuji, am the young number one in the Northern State Territory— I am the strongest!” Bai Wuji muttered to himself, madness filling his gaze.

At this moment, the younger generation of Martial Artists watching were all staring at the sky in shock, while Princess Zi Xuan clenched her fists tightly. Her tears suddenly fell; she didn’t even know why. From the time she met Ye Tianchen until now, it hadn’t been that long, yet with this guy dead, she actually started crying. For Princess Zi Xuan, this was something even she hadn’t expected. But right now, her most straightforward feeling was heartache!

”Ye Tianchen...” Princess Zi Xuan shouted up at the sky, tears spilling from her beautiful eyes.

”Zi Xuan, what are you trying to do?” Senior Sister Jin Hua grabbed hold of Princess Zi Xuan and said.

”I want to go over and take a look!” Princess Zi Xuan said, her gaze resolute.

”You can’t. If you go, Bai Wuji will definitely kill you!” Jin Hua shook her head and said.

”Even if he kills me, I still have to go and see...” Princess Zi Xuan’s tears kept streaming down as she spoke.

”Zi Xuan...” Senior Sister Jin Hua instantly blocked herself in front of Princess Zi Xuan and said.

”Senior Sister, let me go. I want to see...” Princess Zi Xuan said, her eyes firm.

”Zi Xuan, do you understand the responsibility on your shoulders? Master has entrusted our Flying Flower Zen Temple to you. You are the Sect Leader. Your life and death matter more than anyone else in the Sect, do you understand?” Senior Sister Jin Hua wanted to dissuade Princess Zi Xuan, and couldn’t help speaking out.

”Senior Sister, it’s precisely because of that, that I must go even more. Maybe this is the best chance to kill Bai Wuji. His battle power has already been largely depleted. If I fight him now, I actually have a chance to kill him!” Princess Zi Xuan looked at Senior Sister Jin Hua and spoke seriously.

”That may be, but Bai Wuji is a Demon among the young generation of experts. Just judging from his battle with Ye Tianchen, aside from Ye Tianchen here, I’m afraid no one present could even fight him. And right now, his combat power might still be at Peak level, even more dangerous...” Senior Sister Jin Hua shook her head and said.

Princess Zi Xuan now wanted to step forward for two reasons. The first was that Ye Tianchen really seemed to be dead, vanishing along with that small shattered heaven and earth. Her heart hurt; she didn’t even know why. It seemed not merely the pain of a friend’s passing... The second was exactly what Princess Zi Xuan herself had said: in Bai Wuji’s battle with Ye Tianchen, even though Bai Wuji had won, Ye Tianchen was no pushover and must have burned away ninety-nine percent of Bai Wuji’s fighting strength. At this very moment, Bai Wuji had also reached the point of battle-power exhaustion, and now was the best time to kill him!

However, Senior Sister Jin Hua’s words made even more sense. Though Bai Wuji looked utterly weakened, to the point he could no longer maintain the power for Qi Manipulation Flight, seeming as if he might drop from the clouds at any moment, yet it is often at the brink of life and death that a person’s full potential erupts. It’s like when a man is about to die, the strength that appears in that final instant is often astonishing. Much less that Bai Wuji had not truly reached a life-and-death crisis. He looked weak, but in reality his combat power might have greatly increased. Who would dare approach him? To try to withstand even a single move from Bai Wuji now would likely be extremely difficult!

Princess Zi Xuan cast a glance at Senior Sister Jin Hua, smiled faintly, and said nothing, instead walking forward step by step. At that moment, Bai Wuji also sensed it and turned a cold gaze toward Princess Zi Xuan’s side, curling his lips in disdain as he said:

”Hmm? At a time like this, to still have the courage to come forward and deliver yourself to death is commendable!”

”As Sect Leader of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, a battle between you and me is something that cannot be avoided. Sooner or later, life and death must be decided between us!” Princess Zi Xuan said very calmly.

”Hmph, do you think you could be my opponent? Right now I’m at a Peak of explosive potential. I’m afraid you couldn’t even take a single move from me!” Bai Wuji snorted coldly, utterly disdainful as he spoke to Princess Zi Xuan.

”So what? At worst, I die. Could fear of death make me too scared to fight you? You don’t have that kind of authority. Who do you think you are!” Princess Zi Xuan also shouted loudly in disdain.

Bai Wuji frowned slightly. He hadn’t expected that at a time like this, Princess Zi Xuan would still dare to challenge him. It really made him seethe with anger. He wanted to establish his own authority, to become the young number one in the Northern State Territory, and even become the number one in the entire Barbaric Forbidden Land. He would not allow anyone to challenge his authority. Whoever dared challenge him, he would kill!

”I just said, if you dare step forward to seek death at a time like this, I’ll reward you—and my reward to you is to wipe out your Flying Flower Zen Temple and slaughter everyone!” Bai Wuji said with a ferocious grin.

”Come, then. Even if it means death, so what? Facing you, Bai Wuji, we will never submit, because you’re nothing worth fearing!” Princess Zi Xuan replied, her whole body radiating stubborn pride.

Boom!

Bai Wuji was incredibly powerful. Even though his face was pale now, that Battle Intent of his was slowly being drawn out by Ye Tianchen. Even his most powerful move, able to push the Demon Blood Control Skill to its absolute limit, had been forced out, leaving his own Divine badly damaged. But to be able to eliminate such a great enemy as Ye Tianchen—this, for Bai Wuji, for his future Martial Arts path, was a massive clearing away of obstacles, so his whole being was excited!

He stepped forward, and Bai Wuji truly was strong enough. That aura of his—this aura right now—made people’s hearts pound wildly, giving them the feeling that it was simply impossible to block him!

”Is that bastard Bai Wuji really about to make his move?”

”Looks like it. I’m afraid the Flying Flower Zen Temple’s inheritance is doomed!”

”I thought that Ye Tianchen could at least fight Bai Wuji. Even if he couldn’t beat him, he could at least tie. Who would have thought Bai Wuji was this strong, shattering this entire little world? He’s a terrifying monster!”

”Bai Wuji, the number one expert of the Demon Blood Sect’s younger generation—his strength really is enough to battle the elders!”

”The Flying Flower Zen Temple’s Sect Leader Sang Qing has already left; I fear he’s truly passed on. I thought Ye Tianchen, who appeared, would be the sect’s savior. Looks like he’s useless too!”

”Let’s go. Bai Wuji might suddenly go full Demon and start slaughtering us. If that happens, we’re really screwed!”

Boom!

Bai Wuji walked toward Princess Zi Xuan step by step, while Princess Zi Xuan stood below in the Flying Flower Zen Temple mountain range, coldly watching Bai Wuji approach. At this moment, Princess Zi Xuan ignited all the power in her body. She intended to rely on a single strike—she only had this one strike. If she could kill Bai Wuji by catching him off guard, that would be best. If she couldn’t, then there was nothing she could do. The gap between her strength and Bai Wuji’s was indeed enormous!

”Flying Flower Zen Temple, vanish forever!” Bai Wuji said with disdain.

Rumble!

Suddenly, right behind Bai Wuji, an unusual sound rang out. Bai Wuji was startled and couldn’t help turning his head. As he turned to look behind him, he saw a figure appear right in front of him.

”Ye Tianchen...” Bai Wuji exclaimed in shock, wanting to speak, but he didn’t have time. A beam of fist-light smashed down on the top of his head, and Bai Wuji felt his entire body being torn to pieces!

Puff!

A cloud of Blood Mist exploded in midair. Everyone was once again dumbstruck, feeling as if they were about to collapse. What kind of drama was this supposed to be? Scene after scene that no one could have imagined kept appearing. Was this all just absurdly theatrical, or were Ye Tianchen and Bai Wuji simply far too strong, beyond anything people could imagine?

”This... heavens, I feel like my brain can’t keep up anymore, I’m about to break down!”

”Ye Tianchen, Bai Wuji—these two freaks are too monstrous, too full of surprises!”

”Damn it, which one of them is the strongest? Who’s truly the strongest?”

Many Martial Artists of the younger generation couldn’t help roaring out. They were on the verge of collapse. Again and again they thought this awe-inspiring duel had ended, that the winner and loser had been decided, yet again and again things defied their expectations. It made them feel the vast gulf between themselves and Ye Tianchen and Bai Wuji—this gap was simply too great, making them want to collapse, and at the same time feel utterly inferior!

In the Void, a prison like a Magic Cube appeared—that was the Holy Heaven Prison. And at this moment, within that cage, a person walked out. This person was covered in blood, his body riddled with wounds, not a single patch of flesh intact, his face pale to the extreme. This person was Ye Tianchen!
