At this moment, Xu Tianlong's heart was burning with fury.
In the entire Cangzhou, he was considered a renowned figure, personally taught by the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, with outstanding talent and a genius on the Azure Cloud List of Cangzhou. No matter where he went, he was someone who shone brightly!
Even some older experts, upon seeing him, would show him some respect.
But today, he wanted Ye Chen to show him some face, yet Ye Chen, after he spoke, still killed Lin Mo, and then asked him what he was?!
"Ye Chen, you indeed have quite the courage. You are the first person to dare speak to me this way in my presence!" Xu Tianlong's voice was cold and severe, and a chilling aura from his body suddenly rushed towards Ye Chen with fury.
The invincible aura of killing and sword intent maintained around Ye Chen was unaffected by Xu Tianlong's imposing presence.
"Don't think just because you're a personal disciple of the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect that the whole world has to cater to your feelings. Here, whoever wants to kill me will die, without exception."
Xu Tianlong's expression darkened, and he shouted, "Today, I want to kill you. I want to see how your measly abilities can kill me!"
"I don't mind showing you through actions."
The Celestial Mark Sword in Ye Chen's hand suddenly lifted, its tip flashing with a sharp brilliance.
Xu Tianlong snorted coldly and pointed suddenly. On his finger, there was an emerald dragon tattoo that seemed to come alive. In the next moment, a green dragon, several tens of meters long, appeared in the air.
The dragon coiled, letting out a series of angry roars.
Exclamations of surprise rang out from the crowd!
"As expected of Xu Tianlong... he has actually reached the level of merging beasts with oneself!"
"The cultivation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has two methods: pet beasts and beast souls. Those guys who fought Ye Chen earlier still need a Beast Control Ring to rear their demon beasts, whereas Xu Tianlong has reared the demon beast within his body. This is something even many senior experts from the Beast Taming Sect cannot achieve!"
"I've long heard that Xu Tianlong reared a green dragon. Today I finally saw it. This green dragon is formidable enough to crush opponents at the Peak of Transcendent Realm, right..."
Standing on the fourth deck of the cloud ship, Xu Tianlong's face once again regained its former arrogance, and he said, "I am at the Realm of Unity. To me, you are like an ant. Personally, dirtying my hands to kill you is beneath me!"
Ye Chen felt a slight frustration in his heart.
He finally encountered a top genius of Cangzhou... but the gap seemed quite large!
However, this feeling of frustration vanished in an instant.
Just go for it!
"Zizi!"
Little Phoenix, having consumed several demon cores, looked plumper, flapped its wings, and flew onto Ye Chen's shoulder.
"Ye Chen, I want to eat the dragon's demon core!"
"Then you need to put some effort into it." Ye Chen said with a nonchalant smile.
"Alright!"
Zizi agreed readily. It was full already and had strength, and now with a dragon's demon core in front of it, it was full of motivation.
"An ant trying to shake a tree, what a joke!"
Xu Tianlong coldly shouted, and with a thought, he commanded his green dragon to rush at Ye Chen.
The dragon's scales glimmered with green light, causing the surrounding space to ripple layer by layer.
In an instant, the dragon was above Ye Chen, opening its mouth to unleash a torrent of thunder lightning as thick as a barrel towards him.
The warrior-ready Ye Chen thrusted his sword violently, and within the Celestial Mark Sword, the yin-yang sword intent erupted fiercely.
Simultaneously, the small Phoenix on Ye Chen's shoulder suddenly had its swollen belly expand again, and flames spewed from its mouth, merging into Ye Chen's Celestial Mark Sword.
With the eruption of the Phoenix's flames, the enormous eyes of the green dragon bulged instantly; the aura of Little Phoenix had an essential life suppression over the green dragon!
"Boom!"
And Ye Chen, with a sword infused with Phoenix flames, directly split apart the thunder lightning spewed by the green dragon. As the green dragon was momentarily stunned, Ye Chen's silhouette flickered again, leaping directly onto the dragon's head, clenching the sword with both hands, and viciously stabbing down into the dragon's head.
"Roar!"
Half of the Celestial Mark Sword embedded into the green dragon's head.
The green dragon's body writhed frantically in the air, emitting roars of utter rage.
Xu Tianlong's eyes were bloodshot; he thought his pet beast could crush Ye Chen outright, but he never expected this... The cultivation method of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is highly unique, and if the pet beast is killed... Xu Tianlong would face extremely severe backlash!
"Ye Chen, dare to harm my dragon, I will tear you to pieces!"
Xu Tianlong's neck bulged with veins as he lunged forward in fury.
But right at this moment, a thunderous explosion erupted from the topmost area of the cloud ship, and a terrifying beam of light struck Xu Tianlong.
Xu Tianlong's body fell straight down, crashing onto the deck.
Just as Ye Chen was considering giving up the dragon to deal with Xu Tianlong, this change occurred... Overjoyed, he immediately drew his sword and repeatedly stabbed the dragon's head!
The onlookers were dumbfounded.
Ye Chen... his ferocity was unbelievable, actually puncturing the head of Xu Tianlong's reared green dragon into a beehive... Moments later, the green dragon's body crashed down onto the deck with a thud and twitched once more, unable to move again.
"Zizi!"
Little Phoenix immediately hopped off Ye Chen's shoulder, landing on the green dragon's body, with Phoenix flames emanating from its mouth. It pierced through the dragon's scales and extracted the dragon demon core, which was the same size as its body, revealing its gluttonous potential, swallowing it whole.
Just crawling up from the ground, a disheveled Xu Tianlong spat out a mouthful of blood...
The dragon was not dead moments ago, in a near-death state, but with the demon core taken by Little Phoenix, it was utterly dead, causing Xu Tianlong to suffer tremendous backlash!
Ye Chen, eyeing the swaying Xu Tianlong, wanted to rush over and hack him a few times, but a group of individuals in cloud ship guard uniforms had already arrived, forcing Ye Chen to abandon that idea.
"Xu Tianlong, it seems your dragon is as useless as you are, not even as mighty as my little bird." Ye Chen laughed heartily as he spoke.
Nearby, the Little Phoenix, having just swallowed the dragon monster core, used a tone full of disdain, "Ye Chen, this dragon's bloodline is so muddled, it must be a hybrid."
Ye Chen responded, "I'll get you a purebred dragon to eat next time."
At that moment, the guards of the Yun Ship surrounded Ye Chen and Xu Tianlong, each with a complex expression.
Earlier, it was because of Xu Tianlong that they hadn't stopped the event... but now, look, Xu Tianlong has ended up like this.
The guards were also in a difficult position.
What to do?
If they helped Ye Chen, they'd offend Xu Tianlong and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect!
But if they supported Xu Tianlong... it would also be troublesome, the one who took action and defeated Xu Tianlong just now was someone from the top-level of the Yun Ship. They weren't qualified to know who it was above, but anyone who could access the ship's highest level must have an extraordinary background, someone they clearly couldn't afford to offend!
"Cough!"
A light cough was heard from the top level of the Yun Ship, a figure pierced through the array prohibition, it was Elder Qi of the Celestial Soldier Pavilion.
"This matter was originally instigated by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, now they've been punished enough. Let's leave it at that, anyone who continues to make trouble should leave the Yun Ship!"
"Elder Qi, I..." Xu Tianlong glanced at the top level of the Yun Ship, looking resentful!
Elder Qi said coldly, "The guest above likes peace and quiet, you disturbed the guest with your noisy commotion, so that strike was a warning to you!"
Ye Chen glanced at the top of the Yun Ship, smilingly said, "Thank you! I'll treat you to a drink sometime in the future!"
Though he didn't know who it was, they had indeed helped him.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, another force descended from above, and Ye Chen quickly dodged aside.
It seemed like the guy up there had a hot temper, Ye Chen reached out and grabbed Zizi with his hand, heading back to his room!
On the top level of the Yun Ship, the Black Widow suddenly burst into a charming laughter.
...
On the Yun Ship, the storm between Ye Chen and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was abruptly cut off.
Having quite the reputation in Cangzhou, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect suffered a huge loss!
Lin Mo and all his men were killed.
Xu Tianlong's pet beast dragon was also slaughtered... many are speculating that after his pet beast was killed, Xu Tianlong might fall off the Qingyun List of Cangzhou!
Meanwhile, the topic of Ye Chen skyrocketed in popularity.
Everyone was speculating about Ye Chen's background, thinking that Ye Chen must have come from the Beast Taming Lineage, since his little bird was clearly extraordinary!
Yet, no one could guess anything, as never before today had anyone heard of this name.
At this time.
Already back in the room, Ye Chen looked at Zizi, whose belly was about to burst, feeling amused and helpless.
The little creature ate so frantically, now suffering from indigestion, as if someone would snatch food away, eat less and save some... now it's stuck like a little hen with an egg jammed inside it unable to be laid!
The Little Phoenix couldn't be bothered with Ye Chen, crouching in the corner, silently digesting.
Ye Chen withdrew his gaze from the Little Phoenix, thoughts swirling in his mind.
If he couldn't settle Xu Tianlong, he would have produced Tian Bugui's letter of introduction, forcing the Celestial Soldier Pavilion personnel on the Yun Ship to take action.
Unexpectedly, someone from the top level of the Yun Ship helped him!
Was that person really provoked by the noise to take action?
Ye Chen didn't think so!
Upon boarding the Yun Ship, he had felt a gaze from the top of the ship!
It's a pity Elder Qingyi went to the Sword Tomb's tenth level and couldn't sense for him, Master Legs was at the Sword Tomb's fourth level, but Master Legs was useless... even if Ye Chen could now open Master Legs' perception to the external world, Master Legs was incapable, destined to merely run errands.
Go out and have another look!
Ye Chen made up his mind, left the room, and appeared again on the deck.
Everyone around had their mouths twitching.
Ye Chen came out again...
Though many were curious about Ye Chen and thought he had great potential, currently, he wasn't worth approaching, after all, Ye Chen was now carrying the hatred of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, interacting with him would likely invite trouble.
Ye Chen was indifferent, this time, he directly looked up at the top level of the Yun Ship, silently operating his Martial Arts True Eye to the extreme!
Standing outside on the top-level deck, the Black Widow noticed this and snorted.
What can you make out?
How can the Celestial Soldier Pavilion's array prohibition be seen through by you!
Just as the Black Widow thought this, she suddenly noticed an astonished expression on Ye Chen's face, she had a feeling that Ye Chen... saw her!
A panicked look appeared on the Black Widow's face instantly.
Ye Chen's thoughts at this moment were boiling like water.
It was... her!
Scenes of Lingyun Mountain rapidly flickered through his mind... each one was so thrilling, captivating!
This was... the feeling of being moved!
