King of Creation
Chapter 1309: Chapter 1294: Just a Star Priest
"Captain Ye, well done!"
"Captain Ye, give this guy a good beating for me, let me vent my anger thoroughly!"
Princess Changle’s words took Ye Zhen by surprise.
Ye Zhen didn’t understand where the normally kind-hearted and peaceful Princess Changle got so much animosity from.
Previously, Ye Zhen hadn’t noticed, but now thinking about it, today’s affair began with Princess Changle’s active involvement, and it seemed like she was intentionally targeting the people of Ancestor God Temple.
It seemed Princess Changle was very dissatisfied with Ancestor God Temple!
Ye Zhen didn’t need to control it deliberately; anyway, the Little Demon’s vine whip was lashing down like raindrops.
And in the eyes of others, it seemed like he was doing his best to counter Lugang’s resistance.
This situation continued for a good dozen breaths, only until Lugang’s wails became weak and his gaze distracted that Ge Xuan and Yang Zhuoxiao realized something was amiss.
"This round, we lost!" Moon Priest Ge Xuan said this with a face as black as the bottom of a pot.
In such circumstances, Ye Zhen could only let the Little Demon release Lugang, and the moment Lugang was released, he fell to the ground like a piece of wood.
Actually, in this round, Ye Zhen still held back, not allowing the Little Demon to devour Lugang’s cultivation, otherwise, both Ye Zhen and the Little Demon’s cultivation could have surged forward significantly.
After all, cooperation was needed, and with the Moon Priest of Ancestor God Temple present, things couldn’t be too awkward.
"Truly gave these Ancestor God Temple folks a bargain!"
Princess Changle’s divine soul telecommunication allowed Ye Zhen to confirm that there was indeed a grudge between Princess Changle and Ancestor God Temple, probably not a small one.
"What is this?"
The next moment, everyone’s gaze focused on the elegantly poised Green-clad Little Demon.
Especially Princess Changle, whose bright eyes suddenly became incredibly radiant, looking at the ancient and spirited Green-clad Little Demon.
Ge Xuan’s sharp gaze shot like a knife toward the Green-clad Little Demon, striving to see through everything about the Little Demon.
Ye Zhen’s vast divine soul power timely protected the Little Demon, "Moon Priest Ge, this is an avatar I condensed with great power, what, is there an issue?"
"Avatar divine skill?"
The looks Ge Xuan, Fan Su, and Master Earth exchanged with Ye Zhen became extremely peculiar.
If not seen with their own eyes, who would believe a martial artist in the Dao Entrance Realm like Ye Zhen could condense and project an avatar?
Especially Master Earth, who himself practiced avatar divine skills, but currently, the avatar he cultivated was far inferior in spirit nature compared to Ye Zhen’s indicated avatar Little Demon.
"Uh... no problem! I’m just very curious, how Captain Ye, with cultivation in the Dao Entrance Realm, could have mastered such a profound avatar divine skill?" Ge Xuan questioned.
"Just because you can’t, doesn’t mean others can’t!" Ye Zhen snorted coldly, his form blurred, and the Little Demon instantly merged into Ye Zhen’s body.
Before the crowd, Ye Zhen showcased the greatest feature of the avatar divine skill — it could merge into the main body!
Ge Xuan was directly stumped by Ye Zhen’s words, chuckling coldly several times, and after checking Lugang’s injuries, he said, "Zhuoxiao, go and learn about Captain Ye’s excellent skills!"
"What do you mean, a relay battle?" Master Earth suddenly sneered, casting his gaze toward Fan Su, "Deputy Hall Master Fan, why don’t I first fight Elder Ge, and then you come up and beat him down to vent my anger?"
Fan Su heard this, clapping with laughter, "Excellent!"
Ge Xuan’s expression changed drastically, cautiously retreating a few steps, "It was previously agreed that the strong are respected, whichever of Captain Ye and our Ancestor God Temple and Heavenly Temple Green Hall’s four Marching Commander candidates lasts, that one shall be the Marching Commander!"
Master Earth’s expression shifted, yet Fan Su stepped forward with a smile, "In that case, let me, the Grand Spirit Master of Green Hall, take on the Star Pattern Priest of Ancestor God Temple.
After they determine victory or defeat with Star Pattern Priest Yang Zhuoxiao, the victor shall compete with Captain Ye, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen’s expression became somewhat strange as this action blatantly showed Green Hall stood by his side, speaking for him.
To be honest, today’s matter was really too bizarre.
Under normal circumstances, Ancestor God Temple and Changle Princess Mansion should be allied against Heavenly Temple Green Hall, but unexpectedly it turned into Heavenly Temple Green Hall and Changle Princess Mansion allied against Ancestor God Temple.
Ge Xuan’s face became extremely ugly.
If the two Grand Spirit Masters of Heavenly Temple Green Hall take on Yang Zhuoxiao in succession, even if Yang Zhuoxiao is strong, he is no match for Ye Zhen.
Green Hall was obviously aiding Ye Zhen.
In an instant, Ge Xuan’s face forcibly shifted from iron blue to a cheerful demeanor, "Hehe, on this matter, it was my oversight.
Then, how about letting Captain Ye rest in place for one hour, if not enough, then rest for two hours! Then contend with Zhuoxiao.
If Zhuoxiao loses again to Captain Ye, we at Ancestor God Temple will no longer vie for this Marching Commander position! Additionally, regardless of who assumes the Marching Commander role, our people at Ancestor God Temple will absolutely follow orders!"
Master Earth and Fan Su’s gazes suddenly became as sharp as blades.
The implication in Ge Xuan’s words was simple — if Ye Zhen did not fight this battle, regardless of who became the Marching Commander, the Ancestor God Temple would not follow orders.
Using this as a threat, forcing both parties to comply.
This was a determined effort to regain the upper hand from Ye Zhen.
Master Earth suddenly stepped forward, and a small whirlwind arose from the flat ground within the hall, "Ge Yueji, are you forcing me to request a personnel change?"
"Try it! Do you think the people of our Ancestor God Temple can be replaced at the word of someone like you, a eunuch?" Ge Xuan sneered coldly.
The veins on Master Earth’s forehead bulged, throbbing as he struggled to contain his anger.
Ye Zhen sighed inwardly once more, these guys from the Ancestor God Temple were not only annoying but also incredibly foul-mouthed.
Given Master Earth’s status, even if he didn’t mind this title, being called it to his face was extremely unpleasant.
"Ye Zhen, can you handle that one named Yang? If you can take care of him, I owe you a favor!" Master Earth’s vexed voice echoed within Ye Zhen’s Spirit Palace.
The next moment, Ye Zhen stepped forward decisively, saying, "Master Earth, let me fight. Just a mere Star Pattern Priest, even if it’s a battle of attrition, I won’t take it seriously!"
Ge Xuan’s expression turned grim, and Yang Zhuoxiao’s eyes suddenly reddened, "Ye Zhen, you can rest in place for several hours. When you return to peak state, then come to duel this Priest!"
"You?" Ye Zhen scoffed, "You think I need several hours of rest for you? If you have the guts, we can duel right now!"
Ye Zhen’s arrogance surprised even Master Earth, but undeniably, it felt exhilarating.
The proud Star Priest of the Ancestor God Temple was cornered to this extent by Ye Zhen, a Martial Artist at the First Stage of the Dao Entrance Realm; it was electrifying.
Yang Zhuoxiao was in a dilemma, unsure whether to fight or not.
Fighting would be an unfair advantage, but losing would be a disgrace.
Not fighting would risk being seen as someone who didn’t dare to face an overly fatigued Martial Artist, potentially ruining his reputation.
Yang Zhuoxiao’s hesitation gave Ye Zhen room to act.
Ye Zhen suddenly roared like a Thunderclap, shouting at Yang Zhuoxiao, "It’s you who have been scheming to fight me!
Now that I’ve agreed, you hesitate and dare not fight!
If you’re that cowardly, you should leave the Changle Princess Mansion soon!"
Yang Zhuoxiao’s eyes turned fiery red, and he roared with a mixture of grief and indignation, "Who says I’m a coward? Since you don’t want to recover, this Star Priest will oblige you!"
With a roar, a strangely shaped small seal floated from Yang Zhuoxiao’s chest. As the seal appeared, the expressions of Master Earth and Fan Su changed simultaneously.
"Deputy Hall Master Fan, let’s work together to form a Spiritual Power Barrier to prevent the fallout from their clash from leaking!" Master Earth suggested.
"Agreed!"
Just as Fan Su uttered the word ’agree,’ a dreadful aura of annihilation suddenly shot out from behind Ye Zhen’s head.
A bizarre, pitch-black yet Spirit Light-radiating four-section cylindrical object, resembling a bamboo baton with a bloated belly, emerged from Ye Zhen’s head.
As it flew out, a dark red Thunder Light, the thickness of an arm and fluttering with numerous Thunder Element Dao Patterns inside, crashed down toward Yang Zhuoxiao.
"Acquired Spirit Treasure!"
"Evil Punishing Divine Thunder!"
Both the Vice Hall Master of Qing Hall Fan Su and Master Earth exclaimed in unison, while Ge Xuan’s eyes widened in shock.
Under the stunned gazes of the three, the strange jade seal on Yang Zhuoxiao’s chest met the dark red Evil Punishing Divine Thunder at the last moment, only to be instantly repelled.
The strange jade seal, a Low Grade Suppressing Artifact, emitted a mournful wail, its brilliance extinguished, retreating into Yang Zhuoxiao’s body.
With the Suppressing Device heavily damaged, Yang Zhuoxiao suffered a backlash, spewing a blood arrow skyward, his Protective Spirit Armor shattered, and before he could activate the Protective Body Suppressing Device, the Evil Punishing Divine Thunder invaded his body.
The stench of burnt flesh lingered, and Yang Zhuoxiao convulsed helplessly like a dying fish.
Seeing the convulsing Yang Zhuoxiao, and then the unscathed Ye Zhen, both Master Earth and Fan Su, as well as Ge Xuan, and the two young Spirit Masters behind Fan Su, all stared at Ye Zhen as if witnessing a ghost.
Princess Changle’s gaze at Ye Zhen was also filled with surprise, but amidst the astonishment, there was a peculiar brilliance.
Ye Zhen was equally shocked!
He knew that his Acquired Spirit Treasure Thunder Light Pearl would become very powerful after fully devouring the Innate Spiritual Item Thunder Spirit Vine.
But he hadn’t expected it to be this monstrously strong!
Just yesterday morning, the Acquired Spirit Treasure Thunder Light Pearl had completely absorbed and refined everything of the Innate Spiritual Item Thunder Spirit Vine, and today was Ye Zhen’s first time using the enhanced Thunder Light Pearl.
Amidst everyone’s ghost-stricken stares, Ye Zhen cried out, his body softened, and he staggered, plunging headfirst toward the ground!
