Ying Tianhua was dead, leaving everyone in stunned silence. Amidst the shock, Ye Linfeng emerged, calmly watching the battlefield.
In truth, he had been observing from the shadows for some time, holding back to assess Long Chen’s strength. He was an extremely conceited person. If his opponent were too weak, he wouldn’t even bother killing them himself.
However, when Long Chen killed Ying Tianhua, his attack was so marvelous that it changed Ye Linfeng’s mind. As a result, he appeared before everyone.
As Ying Tianhua’s remains transformed into a giant dragon, Long Chen quickly tossed him into the primal chaos space. After that, Long Chen turned back to face Ye Linfeng, not surprised by the latter’s appearance at all. He had sensed Ye Linfeng’s presence the moment he arrived.
Long Chen had refrained from going all-out against Ying Tianhua for two reasons. First, as a traitor to the dragon race, Ying Tianhua deserved to be defeated by dragon blood power—a fitting end to cleanse the dragon race of its disgrace.
Second, with Ye Linfeng watching in the shadows, Long Chen had to stay cautious to protect his people. After all, Long Chen felt like he had yet to figure out Ye Linfeng’s true power.
“Why didn’t you save him?” Long Chen asked. “Aren’t you concerned about losing a fighter and ultimately dying by my hands?”
Ye Linfeng sneered. “Why would I? Other than wielding a decent weapon, he was worthless. Moreover, I don’t need help to deal with you, Long Chen. You’re simply not in my league. My power is beyond your comprehension.”
Seeing Ye Linfeng, the experts attacking the Hidden Dragon Legion halted and stepped back. On the surface, they appeared to do so out of respect for Ye Linfeng. But in truth, they were simply terrified of the Hidden Dragon Legion and the slaughter they had just done.
No matter how these experts attacked, they couldn’t break the Hidden Dragon Legion’s formation. They could only watch as their comrades died one by one. Now, the battlefield was littered with corpses.
Since Ye Linfeng had appeared, these weaklings had the opportunity to back down without losing face. They all retreated to Ye Linfeng’s side, looking like they would follow him blindly. But in reality, they simply wanted to let him finish Long Chen and the others.
The Hidden Dragon Legion quickly regrouped around Long Chen. Both sides looked calm, though everyone sensed the brewing storm. The air was thick with the scent of blood, which signaled the impending clash.
Long Chen looked over the Hidden Dragon Legion. Only two Hidden Dragon warriors had sustained significant injuries, but they had already taken medicinal pills and were recovering rapidly. They wouldn’t affect the group’s overall power.
With a confident look, Long Chen turned back to Ye Linfeng and said, “You seem confident of your strength. But today, one of us will fall, and I’m certain it’ll be you.”
In response, Ye Linfeng laughed heartily, “Hahaha, I like confident opponents, especially the look of despair in their eyes as they are dying. Do you know how much I hope for someone in the same realm to truly challenge? I wish I could taste the flavor of defeat.”
Long Chen grinned. “Well, congratulations. Today, your wish will be granted.”
“Is that so? I’m looking forward to it!” Ye Linfeng replied, slowly walking forward. With a wave of his hand, he ordered his followers, “Stand back. You don’t need to lift a finger. Just close your eyes and pray—pray that Long Chen is strong enough, for only then will you get to witness my true power.”
Long Chen was impressed by his bragging, but he didn’t want to be outdone. Turning to Tang Wan-er and the others, he warned, “Watch the show and witness your big brother Long Chen’s unrivaled power. Today, I’ll use my power to tell them who the king of this world is.”
Tang Wan-er had been a bit worried, but seeing Long Chen like this, she almost burst into laughter. After that, she led everyone back, giving Long Chen space to fight. Seeing his wanton and unrestrained figure, she felt a wave of emotion. Even when he was on the top of the nine heavens and ten lands, he was still as dazzling as ever.
Tang Wan-er was convinced that her man was the world’s main character; no other heavenly genius could steal his light. As an undefeatable battle god, no one could tear down his undefeated streak.
Ye Linfeng smirked at Long Chen’s bravado. “Your confidence is baseless. Do you think you can beat me with your borrowed dragon blood power? You should bring out your strongest moves now, or you’ll die with regret.”
Ye Linfeng continued to walk toward Long Chen. With every step, his aura grew, causing the ten thousand Daos to rumble. His aura reached heights that matched Ying Tianhua’s peak, leaving everyone stunned. After all, Ying Tianhua could only gain such strength by burning his essence blood, but Ye Linfeng hadn’t even tapped into his full power yet.
The space twisted around Ye Linfeng because of his energy fluctuations.
“Faith energy?” Long Chen murmured, surprised by its incredible density.
“That’s right, this is faith energy—my faith energy. I am a god, Long Chen. A god can’t be defeated. Now, do you understand?” said Ye Linfeng.
Tang Wan-er and the others were taken aback. As disciples of the Wind God Sea Pavilion, they knew the significance of what Ye Linfeng claimed. That was why they were so shocked.
Ye Linfeng was actually a sanctified god—a cultivator with their own inheritance, followers, faith divine pool, and faith symbol.
Long Chen was also baffled when he heard that. He asked, “Does the Brahma line allow their followers to become sanctified gods?”
Ye Linfeng chuckled, “Other factions don’t, but my Martial God Hall can grant such status. Enough talk. I will give you three chances. If you can’t block three of my moves, I won’t kill you outright, but I’ll kill all the women behind you. I’ll tear them apart right in front of you, piece by piece, and make you suffer a fate worse than death.”
As if afraid that Long Chen wouldn’t go all-out, Ye Linfeng intentionally threatened Tang Wan-er and the others. And despite knowing it was a blatant provocation, Long Chen still seethed with fury.
Tang Wan-er was his reverse scale—threatening her was a surefire way to unleash his wrath. Long Chen’s smile slowly faded from his face, his eyes became as sharp as a blade.
Suddenly, starlight ignited around his body, casting a brilliant glow that illuminated the battlefield. A roar, resounding like a god’s, shook the land.
“Eight Star Battle Armor!”
