Chapter 224: Chapter 201: Outstanding Figures Compete, Ye Chen Loses? _2

The gazes of the Four Great Ancient Heroes solidified as they looked toward Ye Chen, watching him as if he were prey, filled with greed.

Ye Chen sighed lightly. When had he fallen to such a state that he was being regarded as prey? If his formidable enemies from his previous life knew about this, they’d certainly laugh at him.

Elder Yan seemed to find some joy in his misfortune, "Little Chenzi, how do you plan to deal with them? I think it will still be quite difficult for you to handle the four of them alone."

Ye Chen slightly flexed his muscles, and immediately his body rang out with thunderous crackling sounds as his muscles and bones continuously popped, responding, "What about it? Are you, this iron-feathered rooster, planning to make me hand over my Dao Blood? Since they’ve turned me into prey, then I’ll make them regret it."

Elder Yan frowned, "But with your strength, it might already be difficult to deal with one, let alone four. You might only have the option to run."

The Four Great Ancient Heroes weren’t just talk. Their real combat strength was horrifyingly amazing, and even Elder Yan wasn’t optimistic about Ye Chen’s chances.

Ye Chen’s lips curled into a cold smirk. Not necessarily so.

"There is said to be an Ancient Hero sealed within Tiandu Academy too, named Yuan Jiu, who is not much less than us, and even rumored to have received the true inheritance of the Great Prophet from ancient times. It’s a pity he didn’t come today; otherwise, this competition for first place would be many times more exciting."

Yang Wushuang sighed lightly, somewhat regretfully, then his eyes blazed, "Even though he is not here, it reduces one competitor. To whom the Dao Blood will go, depends on effort. Enough talk, let’s start the battle."

"Okay!"

Boom—

The Four Great Ancient Heroes struck with lightning speed as they spoke.

With a booming explosion, the void trembled as if it was about to tear apart, with mists of Divine Radiance blooming, and waves of destructive power spreading, shattering the already glass-melted ground into powder.

They all rushed toward Ye Chen in the first instance, naturally aiming for the Dao Blood on him.

Swoosh—

A figure burst forth faster than others; it was Long Guao. His Six Paths of Golden Dragon Energy surged fiercely, he swung down his Fangtian Halberd directly intending to kill Ye Chen. There was murderous intent all around and he had no intention of leaving Ye Chen alive.

That halberd, like a Heavenly God furiously split, could sever the sky, and a dazzling golden light appeared, making it seem as if the entire land and sky were being split by the halberd.

Naturally, Ye Chen wouldn’t sit still waiting for his doom, feeling the terror of this strike. He snorted coldly, not choosing to resist with his physical body. With a flick of his hand, the Heavenly Divine Spear appeared, immediately reviving, with lightning dazzling and affecting the nine heavens, striking horizontally back.

Clang—

Boom—

The world rocked, the surging golden light and lightning exploded, terrifyingly boundless, striking up into the clouds, turning into two giant dragons roaring and contending, sweeping across the surrounding fog and clouds.

A silhouette was sent flying backward. That was Ye Chen, who was not an equal match in a hurried defense, sent flying, and even such a powerful figure as he coughed up droplets of golden blood, quite the spectacle.

In fact, it was not only because of the hurried defense, but also because Long Guao’s strength was incredibly powerful, unexpectedly so, truly deserving of the title of the most brilliant hero in the history of the Soaring Dragon Empire, unparalleled in combat, with boundless Divine Power. Even if Ye Chen was well-prepared, he would most likely still be no match.

Because in this life, Ye Chen had awakened far too late, and his Human Origin Golden Body wasn’t truly in Great Perfection, having only refined part of the fresh red True Blood, leaving his real strength still lacking quite a bit.

And these Ancient Heroes were genuinely very strong in their Daoism, and even if their physical bodies were not as strong as his, they were not far off, far stronger than many other Martial Gods.

Ye Chen even suspected that these Ancient Heroes had reached the level of Super Martial Gods, very powerful.

"Hmm? To actually withstand my strike, quite impressive, somewhat beyond my expectations," Long Guao expressed his surprise, finding Ye Chen’s strength unexpected.

Previously in the Space Channel, after being thwarted, he had already rated Ye Chen highly, but that was when he had been unprepared. Yet now, at his peak state and unrivaled in his generation, Ye Chen was still able to withstand his strike and not die, merely coughing up a bit of blood, which quite surprised him.

Ye Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, not surprised by the situation, his expression also holding a trace of gravity. The Ancient Heroes were indeed powerful enough.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, his intuition skyrocketing at this moment, and at this time, a punch blasted backward as if a War God was throwing a punch; his fist no longer bore the glaze-like golden color but instead emblazoned with vivid blood red, shining like a Blood Diamond, sweeping across.

At this time, a pale, delicate hand suddenly struck from behind, seemingly mild and without waves, but it made Ye Chen’s brows furrow deeply, fully aware of the terrifying nature of this palm. Even the void seemed to collapse invisibly under the strike, terrifyingly boundless.

Fist met palm, the void distorted, Divine Radiance exploded, and droplets of bright blood splattered and fell.

Ye Chen’s fist was grazed, nearly drawing blood. It’s worth noting that he had now concentrated True Blood onto his fist, making it stronger than before, but still, his skin was grazed. One can imagine the strength of the opponent’s attack.

And the one who struck, Wu Yunyan, even suffered a torn skin on her delicate fingers, with droplets of fresh blood splattering and flowing, her stunning cold features showing a trace of surprise. She hadn’t expected that the opponent could actually hurt her, which quite astonished her.
