Someone immediately responded, "You're so stupid! You don't even know this! Ling Chong's mother is a daughter of the Ao clan!"
Compared with the pure people of the Ao clan, the ice dragon phantom condensed by Ling Chong has a bit of dark taste and more of a ghostly feeling.
"Boy, if I say I'll have you down within three moves, I'll definitely keep my word!"
Ling Chong sneered and pointed his finger at Ye Chen. The ice dragon shadow behind him roared and pounced towards Ye Chen with a terrifying and cold look.
That momentum was as if he wanted to eat Ye Chen alive.
Just as Ye Chen's eyes darkened and he was about to use his magic weapon to fight back, he suddenly felt a strong desire to fight surging in his body.
The fighting spirit surprisingly came from the previously dormant soul of the iron-eating and sky-devouring beast!
"You want to come out and play?"
Ye Chen smiled in his heart and raised his hand, "Then go."
"roar--"
As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, everyone heard an earth-shaking beast roar erupting from Ye Chen's body, causing pain in the eardrums of everyone around him.
Immediately afterwards, a giant bear with black and white hair suddenly emerged from Ye Chen's body.
There is also a thick blood-red energy film attached to its body surface.
The moment the giant bear appeared, the dragon spirit that was originally rushing towards it suddenly froze in mid-air, and fear appeared in its huge dragon eyes.
"roar!"
Another earth-shaking roar.
The Iron-Eating Sky-Devouring Beast pounced forward, raised its huge bear paw and slapped the dragon spirit.
That kind of power was like a mountain pressing down on one's head.
"Bang!"
Long Ling was knocked down from mid-air by the enormous force.
But before it could completely relieve the force, the Iron-Eating Sky-Devouring Beast in mid-air opened its mouth wide, and with a terrifying suction force, it absorbed the dragon spirit into its mouth. After chewing it twice, it swallowed it into its stomach with a "gulp".
Then he burped with satisfaction and returned to Ye Chen's body again.
At the same time, Ling Chong suddenly felt as if he had suffered a heavy blow from the soul!
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole body fell straight backwards.
"Ling Chong!"
“Chong’er!!”
The people of the Ling clan ran towards the unconscious Ling Chong.
Ling Yu took out a pill from the storage ring, pried open Ling Chong's teeth and tongue, and put it into his stomach.
Not long after, Ling Chong slowly woke up, but his face was still as pale as paper, as if he had suffered a serious injury.
"My...my dragon spirit..."
After saying this, his neck tilted and he fainted again.
Ling Shuang was furious. He looked at Ye Chen and shouted, "We are all fellow countrymen from the Divine Kingdom. How dare you use such a heavy hand?"
Ye Chen said indifferently: "Why didn't you say this when he was about to kill me with all his strength just now?"
"Good boy, you hurt someone so hard and yet you still dare to talk back. I will punish you on behalf of the Empress!"
As he spoke, Ling Shuang's aura surged, and the power of the great cultivator in the Divine Venerable Realm suddenly spread out, scaring the surrounding geniuses so much that they retreated dozens of feet away.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Shuang blasted out with a palm, and the powerful force of ice, wrapped in the power of the underworld, suppressed Ye Chen.
"Ling Shuang, you just said this was a fight between juniors, why are you interfering?"
At the same time, Leng Hanjiang took a step forward and stood in front of Ye Chen. Countless ice crystals condensed around his body, forming an ice wall.
The next moment, Ling Shuang's palm power hit the ice wall heavily.
Ling Shuang wanted to fight again, but at this moment, a woman's voice was heard from a distance:
“Stop it, everyone!!”
Everyone looked and saw that the person coming was Xue Yuxia, the empress's personal female official.
Upon seeing this man, the two dukes stopped immediately.
Xue Yuxia is here, representing the will of the empress. How dare they continue fighting?
"Master Xue, Ling Chong originally wanted to spar with Ye Chen, but he didn't expect that this guy would use such a heavy hand, severely injuring Ling Chong. I'm afraid that the subsequent Hundred Marquis Battles will be affected!"
"Lord Pingyang, at this point, you still dare to quibble?"
Xue Yuxia's pretty face turned slightly cold as she looked at the one in front of her coldly, "Your Majesty and the four Heavenly Kings saw the scene just now clearly in the Xuanbing Palace. It was Ling Chong who provoked Ye Chen first, and he deserved the serious injury!"
"……yes."
Ling Chong also didn't expect that the Empress and the King of Heaven had already paid attention to this place. Since even the King of Frost Soul didn't say anything, how could he dare to say anything more now.
Leng Hanjiang took a step forward, bowed towards the Xuanbing Palace and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Immediately, Xue Yuxia glanced at Ye Chen with admiration in her eyes.
He originally thought that Ye Chen would suffer at the hands of Ling Chong, but he didn't expect that he could actually defeat Ling Chong, and win so easily.
"Are you okay?" Xue Yuxia asked.
"Of course nothing happened." Ye Chen smiled faintly and shrugged.
Xue Yuxia nodded slightly, then shouted to everyone, "What are you all still dawdling about? Follow me into the palace to see the Emperor. The Hundred Marquises' Battle is about to begin!"
After he finished speaking, he led the way towards the shrine.
Along the way, the surrounding geniuses looked at Ye Chen from time to time, with surprise in their eyes, and then whispered to others.
After the previous battle, they had a new understanding of Ye Chen's combat power.
"Ye Chen, just wait and see. Once we enter the Baihou battlefield, I will definitely make you pay!"
Looking at the young figure walking in front, Ling Yu's eyes were cold and he muttered to himself in a low voice.
At this moment, Ling Chong, who was being carried on someone's back, slowly woke up. His voice was filled with immense anger and grievance. He said, "Brother Ling Yu, you must avenge me. I don't know what level of beast soul he has in his body. He actually sucked away my dragon spirit."
Among the contestants in this year's Battle of the Hundred Marquises against the Xuanbing Divine Kingdom, Ling Yu was the first to be conferred the title of marquis, and naturally he was also the strongest.
Although everyone has reached the Great Perfection of the Spirit Gathering Divine Realm, the longer they stay in this realm, the deeper their understanding of various aspects of martial arts will naturally be. The strength they demonstrate in actual combat is obviously not comparable to that of ordinary people who have reached the Great Perfection of the Spirit Gathering Divine Realm.
It is no exaggeration to call someone like Ling Yu a half-step divine warrior.
His true combat power is probably close to that of an average Divine Realm minor Perfection warrior.
"Don't worry about that. In this Hundred Marquis Battle, if he dares to enter, I won't let him walk out alive!"
Ling Yu sneered and said, "The battle of a hundred marquises is not about the strength of a single fighter. In the melee of a hundred geniuses, no matter how strong one's individual combat power is, it is useless. Only by uniting with more powerful people can one make it to the end.
As long as we isolate Ye Chen, even if we don't take action, he will definitely be crushed by other forces and groups!"
