At this moment, Xiahou Lei raised his head high, his gaze filled with mockery as he stared at Ye Chen, like a supreme being looking down on a lowly ant.

Like Xiahou Shi, he also came from the Xiahou Clan of the Red Flame Dynasty, and his father, Xiahou Ying, is the Patriarch of the Xiahou Family.

Forty years ago, the previous Battle King Hall Master met his end at the hands of Xiahou Ying.

From then on, the Battle King Hall gradually declined.

It can be said that Xiahou Lei's father is the primary culprit responsible for the decline of the Battle King Hall.

"Watch your mouth! How dare you insult Elder Ouyang like that," Ye Chen's eyes shot out a sharp glint as he coldly addressed Xiahou Lei.

"A mongrel?"

"He's gone mad. This guy is truly insane, daring to utter such disrespectful words to Xiahou Lei. Does he have a death wish?" The observing young experts gasped in disbelief, unable to believe their ears.

After all, Xiahou Lei is ranked in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List!

Across hundreds of Mortal Dynasties overseen by the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, any cultivator with a bit of knowledge would have heard of his name.

Yet Ye Chen dared to call Xiahou Lei a mongrel.

This is a huge act of disrespect toward Xiahou Lei.

"Outrageous!"

"Ignorant mutt, who gave you the courage to speak such words to our brother Xiahou? Kneel down immediately." The Red Flame Academy students' expressions turned incredibly dark as they sternly rebuked Ye Chen.

Even they hadn't expected Ye Chen to have such audacity as to speak so disrespectfully to their brother Xiahou.

This is simply courting death.

"Hmph! Ignorance truly breeds fearless fools. You, a worthless being whose bloodline cannot even awaken, have no idea how powerful I am. Otherwise, even giving you a hundred times more courage, you wouldn't dare utter such foolish words." Unexpectedly, Xiahou Lei was not angered; instead, he sneered at Ye Chen.

It's as if, in his eyes, Ye Chen, this pathetic ant, is not even worthy of his ire.

"Stop pretending in front of me. No matter who you are, I'm someone you can't afford to provoke. If you dare provoke me again, I'll make sure you regret it." Ye Chen's lips curled into a cold smile.

Although he didn't know exactly who Xiahou Lei was.

Even if the opponent is ranked top ten on the Hidden Dragon List, Ye Chen remained unafraid.

After all, now he is considered a disciple of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, equal in status to Ye Lin'Er.

Even those ranked in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List must step aside before him.

"Hmph! This waste really thinks that just because he received an invitation from Overlord Body Peak, he's allowed to run amok. Some people are not for him to provoke." Wang Lian couldn't help but sneer in the dark.

"Now, it seems that sister Lin'Er doesn't even need to intervene personally; this waste will soon have nowhere to be buried. For someone like Xiahou Lei, crushing this waste is just as easy as swatting a fly." Chu Feng looked at Ye Chen with mockery, as if staring at a dead man.

Buzz!

Just then, dazzling light blossomed above the teleportation array beneath everyone's feet, enveloping them.

"The array is about to activate."

"Quick, get into the array first." The Red Flame Academy students' faces all changed quickly, and they hurriedly flew toward the teleportation array ahead.

"Mutt, you dare disrespect our brother Xiahou, I'll kill you now." The black-armored youth, Wu Gang, had a ferociously cruel expression, resembling an Ancient Fierce Beast, swiftly charging at Ye Chen.

Although within this teleportation array, he couldn't casually use Celestial Spirits, as doing so would pose a life-threatening risk.

However, aside from his cultivation reaching the Third Layer of the Celestial Spirit Realm, his physical body was exceptionally strong.

Crushing Ye Chen, this waste who hasn't even reached the Celestial Spirit Realm, is exceptionally easy.

Therefore, he planned to crush Ye Chen to death directly.

This is the price for disrespecting their brother Xiahou.

Whoosh.

In an instant, the tall frame of the black-armored youth, Wu Gang, appeared before Ye Chen, his muscles all swelling, emitting a faint Bronze Divine Light, as if forged from Divine Gold.

This was the result of his cultivation technique, "Bronze Martial Body," renowned in the Red Flame Academy. At its peak, one's physical body can be enhanced with the Power of Five Thousand Tigers, almost on par with the "Minor Glazed War Body."

Although Wu Gang hadn't cultivated the "Bronze Martial Body" to its highest level, his physical body already possessed the Power of Three Thousand Tigers, making it a simple task to crush a Half-Step Celestial Spirit Realm waste.

"Wu Gang, finish off this waste for me."

"Our brother Xiahou is not someone that trash like him can insult; he must die." The Red Flame Academy students had already entered the teleportation array, speaking with ice-cold gazes.

As for Xiahou Lei, he didn't even bother to glance again at Ye Chen, as if Ye Chen was already a dead man.

"Trash, die for me." The young man in black armor, Wu Gang, wore a sinister smile as he swung his fist fiercely toward Ye Chen's chest.

In his view, Ye Chen, that piece of trash, absolutely wouldn't dare to use his Gang Qi within the teleportation array, or else he would be obliterated by its power.

Therefore, in front of him, there was absolutely no chance for Ye Chen to retaliate.

This is also one of the benefits of cultivating the body.

In places where Gang Qi and Celestial Spirits cannot be used, the physical body is enough to crush everything.

"It's over, that guy is doomed."

"Hmph! He has only himself to blame for being too foolish and offending those he shouldn't have. Hopefully, in his next life, he will be smarter." The onlooking young powerhouses sneered with no sympathy for Ye Chen.

Buzz!

Just as Wu Gang's fist was about to hit Ye Chen's chest, a radiant rainbow light suddenly burst forth from Ye Chen's body, resembling a Glazed Divine Jade.

At this moment, he activated the Third Layer of the "Little Glazed Martial Body" without hesitation and used the strength of three Dragon Elephant Divine Patterns, fully unleashing the Power of Six Thousand Tigers.

With a loud bang.

The next moment, Ye Chen's fist violently collided with Wu Gang's fist, emitting a thunderous explosion.

"No good!" Wu Gang's pupils contracted suddenly, and his expression froze, filled with extreme shock.

He never expected Ye Chen's physical body to be so powerful, reaching an incredibly astonishing Power of Six Thousand Tigers.

If it were under normal circumstances, Wu Gang wouldn't care about such power at all.

After all, the power he could casually exert with Celestial Spirits was already at the Power of Nine Thousand Tigers.

However, within this array, Celestial Spirits couldn't be used recklessly.

The power of six thousand tigers was already a deadly threat against him.

Ah!

A chilling scream erupted from Wu Gang's mouth, sounding bone-chilling.

With just one hit, Wu Gang's fist and right arm exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

Even his body was blown away like a meteor, with his internal organs severely injured, finally crashing hard under the teleportation array.

"No! This is impossible, how can this trash's physical body be so strong?"

"Wu Gang was too careless." The students from Red Flame Academy turned paler than corpses.

"So powerful, his body can actually unleash the Power of Six Thousand Tigers, what is going on here?"

"Since when did Celestial Flame Academy have such a monster?" The young powerhouses watching were all frozen on the spot, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

In fact, although Ye Chen's physical body is strong, apart from the students from Celestial Flame Academy and Black Sand Academy, almost no one knew.

That's why they were so shocked.

"With just this level of strength, you dare to provoke me, truly overestimating yourself." Ye Chen glanced coldly at Wu Gang, his expression full of disdain.

"Ah! You trash, I will kill you." Wu Gang's facial features twisted, struggling to get up from the ground, once again jumping onto the teleportation array.

He, a proud genius of the Red Flame Academy, was actually severely wounded by Ye Chen, a trash who couldn't even awaken his bloodline.

To him, this was a great humiliation.

If he didn't tear Ye Chen into pieces, he couldn't vent his anger.

"Trash, what are you so proud of? If it weren't for the fact that Celestial Spirits couldn't be used here, you would already be dead! But don't worry, once we enter the Immortal Secret Realm, I'll make sure someone sends you to Hell to reunite with that old dog Ouyang Zhong." At this moment, Xiahou Lei suddenly spoke with extreme contempt, with a terrifying killing intent surging from him.

"Who are you? Why do you know Elder Ouyang?" Ye Chen glared at Xiahou Lei, speaking coldly to him.

"That old dog Ouyang Zhong was eliminated by the experts of our Xiahou Clan. Not only him, but the entire Ouyang Family will soon disappear from this world, and of course, you, this overconfident trash." Xiahou Lei sneered, a cruel expression crossing his face.

"So, the ones colluding with that slut Duanmu Ying to kill Elder Ouyang were sent by your family, hmm, very good. One day, I will make your family pay with blood." Ye Chen's body trembled violently, his eyes turning blood-red, his chest filled with rage.

He had already known that the Xiahou Clan was the enemy of the Ouyang Family, always wanting to exterminate them.

What he hadn't expected was that the Xiahou Lei in front of him was also from the Xiahou Clan.

No wonder he wanted so badly to eliminate him.

Unfortunately, Ye Chen would never let him have his way.
