Above the Cyan Jade Battle Platform, Zhou Sen's corpse lay sprawled like a pile of mud on the ground, his eyes wide open, completely unable to rest in peace.
However, Ye Chen did not devour the bloodline power within him.
After all, there were Golden Core Realm experts watching the battle here, who might be able to notice something amiss.
So, it's better to be safe than sorry.
"Dead, Zhou Sen was actually killed by Ye Chen."
"How is this possible? Am I dreaming?" Above Celestial Hero Peak, the outer disciples of the Seven Great Peaks stood frozen in place, as if struck by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, utterly unable to believe what they were seeing.
They originally thought that after Zhou Sen unleashed the Bloodline Secret Technique, Giant's Roar, he would certainly be able to shake Ye Chen to death.
Yet, they never expected that not only was Ye Chen unscathed, but he also managed to counter-kill Zhou Sen.
This was simply like a dream.
"Damn it, how could this be, this trash has actually mastered two True Intents." In the sky, Xiahou Dian's face turned even paler than a dead person, as if he had swallowed a pile of dead flies.
One must know, he had paid a significant price to persuade the Host Elder to arrange a battle between Ye Chen and Zhou Sen.
But now, not only did Zhou Sen fail to kill Ye Chen, but he was also counter-killed by Ye Chen.
Doesn't this mean all his efforts were in vain?
This made him nearly go insane just thinking about it.
After all, that was a quarter of his assets!
"Never expected that this trash's scheming was so deep, and he even mastered a second True Intent. Fortunately, he can't awaken his bloodline, or it would be an endless trouble." Tuoba Xiong's eyes shone with terrifying ferocity, his expression extremely grim as he spoke.
"Humph! So what if his Martial Arts Talent is high, without awakening his bloodline, he's ultimately nothing. Crushing this kind of garbage is no different from crushing an ant." Beside him, Tuoba You laughed scornfully, his attitude utterly disdainful, looking at Ye Chen as if gazing at a pathetic insect.
Although his Martial Arts Talent and Body Refining Talent might not be as high as Ye Chen's, his bloodline was far stronger than Ye Chen's.
Hence, he didn't even take Ye Chen's Martial Arts Talent seriously.
"Brother Wang, Zhou Sen was really useless, he couldn't even defeat Ye Chen, this trash, utterly losing face for our Azure Sky Peak." At this moment, a fellow inner sect disciple of Azure Sky Peak frowned beside Wang Tian, speaking.
"Humph! Truly a useless glutton, squandering so many of my cultivation resources." Wang Tian's face was steel-gray, glaring at Ye Chen as if he wanted to shred him apart.
This time, in order to persuade Zhou Sen to kill Ye Chen, he gave Zhou Sen many precious cultivation resources.
But that trash Zhou Sen couldn't complete his task, making him lose both his investment and gain nothing.
So, at this moment, his heart was extremely enraged.
Is such a mere ant, who hasn't even reached the Divine Mansion Realm, so difficult to kill?
"Too strong, Ye Chen's strength is truly overwhelming. Could it be that the champion of this competition will really fall into his hands?"
"Sigh! Even Zhou Sen died at his hands, who else can stand against him?" The disciples of the Seven Great Peaks sighed one after another.
Even they didn't expect that Ye Chen, who couldn't even awaken his bloodline, turned out to be the biggest dark horse of this Seven Peaks competition.
This undoubtedly was a huge irony.
"Humph! Does this trash even dare to dream of winning the Seven Peaks competition's champion, as if speaking nonsense in a dream? Don't forget, we at Piaomiao Peak have Junior Sister Qiushui, who can definitely crush this trash effortlessly." A female disciple beside Lu Xuan from Piaomiao Peak sneered.
Indeed!
Ye Chen's Martial Arts Talent is undeniably strong, having mastered two True Intents at such a young age.
However, his cultivation was only at the Celestial Spirit Realm, far from fully unleashing the true power of these two True Intents.
Meanwhile, their Piaomiao Peak's Qin Qiushui not only mastered True Intent but also had cultivation reaching the Peak of the Celestial Spirit Realm.
As long as she wished, she could break through to the Divine Mansion Realm at any moment.
By then, crushing Ye Chen would be as easy as flicking away dust.
"Junior Sister Qiushui possesses five times the Qi Sea Foundation. Once she breaks through to the Divine Mansion Realm, her mana will be far more abundant than an average Divine Mansion Realm First Layer expert's. Plus, having awakened the Unicorn Celestial Horse Bloodline, she could indeed easily defeat that trash." Lu Xuan nodded and said.
"Sect Leader Senior Brother, this piece of trash is truly vicious. Zhou Sen was a genius of your Azure Sky Peak, yet he killed him without even thinking. Such a deranged person doesn't deserve to be part of our Azure Sky Immortal Sect. I suggest abolishing his cultivation and expelling him from the sect," Xu Jiao's face was covered in a thick layer of frost as she spoke to the Sect Leader of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect in the opulent great hall.
Originally, she also planned to use Zhou Sen's hand to eliminate Ye Chen.
After all, there was an irreconcilable feud between Ye Chen and her disciple Ye Lin'Er.
But she never expected that Ye Chen's strength had grown to such an extent that he could even kill Zhou Sen.
This was undoubtedly a severe slap to her face.
"Impertinent, Xu Jiao, I think you've lost your mind. Even a fool can see that Zhou Sen wanted to kill Ye Chen, and Ye Chen killing him in return was entirely justified. How can you punish Ye Chen?" Venerable Zi Chen burst out in anger beside her, rebuking Xu Jiao sternly.
"Enough, Zhou Sen was simply not as skilled as Ye Chen and died by his hand; he can only blame himself for his uselessness. Let's just let it go," the Sect Leader of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect said indifferently, as if Zhou Sen's death was entirely irrelevant to him.
"Hmph! Zi Chen, don't gloat too early. Do you really think Ye Chen can win the championship this time? How naive! Our Piaomiao Peak's disciple Qin Qiushui will definitely teach this waste what it means for the sky to be higher and there to be always someone better," Xu Jiao sneered coldly, looking at Ye Chen like a pitiful clown.
"I announce Ye Chen's victory, advancing to the top two," at this moment, the Host Elder's bright voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
His expression seemed as calm as an ancient well, as if he wasn't at all surprised by Zhou Sen being killed by Ye Chen.
"Wonderful, Chen'er has won," Xiao Hui, Ye Chen's foster mother, said with immense joy.
"Unwittingly, Chen'er has grown to this extent. If Big Brother Ye Qi were still alive, he would surely feel immensely gratified," Ye Ming couldn't help but express his emotions, his eyes filled with deep satisfaction.
Just over half a year ago, Ye Chen was still an ordinary person with a shattered dantian.
But in less than a year, he has reached this point.
This has to be called a miracle.
"Worthy of Lord Ye Chen, he's truly remarkable. His martial arts talent likely surpasses many of our Azure Sky Immortal Sect's Saint Sons," Jin Kun Zhenren also appeared quite excited at this time, looking at Ye Chen with growing respect.
Ye Chen, whether it's body refining talent or martial arts talent, is the most powerful person Jin Kun Zhenren has ever encountered.
This kind of monstrous existence may even be hard to find even among the Six Great Sacred Lands.
It's no wonder even Lord Profound Spirit holds such respect for Ye Chen.
His background must be incredibly terrifying.
Swish!
In the next moment, Ye Chen's figure flickered as he flew down to the Cyan Jade Battle Platform, landing on the black stone platform.
At this moment, there were only two contestants left on the black stone platform, one was Piaomiao Peak's female disciple Qin Qiushui, and the other was Celestial Sword Peak's disciple Wang Lang.
"This Ye Chen, his martial arts talent is terrifying. He can't awaken his bloodline, yet he can master two True Intents. If he awakened his bloodline, who knows what he'd be capable of?" Wang Lang stared at Ye Chen like he was looking at a monster.
To his knowledge, even their Celestial Sword Peak's Saint Son only mastered one True Intent at Ye Chen's age.
But Ye Chen has mastered two, his martial arts talent much higher than their Saint Son of Celestial Sword Peak.
Perhaps only the Six Great Sacred Lands and Divine Spirit Families have such extraordinarily talented individuals.
"Damn it, this waste can't awaken a bloodline, yet his comprehension of martial arts is faster than mine. How is he doing it?" Qin Qiushui's teeth clenched tightly, her face covered in a layer of frost, deep hatred flickering in her eyes.
She had thought her martial arts talent was high enough, mastering a Middle Grade Profound Level True Intent at only nineteen.
However, she didn't expect Ye Chen, who was two or three years younger, to master two True Intents.
This was undoubtedly a huge blow to her pride.
"Hmph! So what if his martial arts talent is higher than mine? In the end, he's just a waste who can't awaken his bloodline. I will definitely defeat him in this Seven Peaks Tournament," a cold smile flashed across Qin Qiushui's lips as she looked at Ye Chen like a lamb to slaughter.
"The second match, Qin Qiushui versus Wang Lang," the Host Elder's loud voice reverberated in the air.
"Finally, it's Senior Sister Qiushui's turn to step up."
"Hmph! Does Ye Chen really think he's remarkable? This waste has no idea the vast difference between himself and Senior Sister Qiushui. The title of the Seven Peaks Tournament's champion undoubtedly belongs to Senior Sister Qiushui," many of Piaomiao Peak's female disciples sneered.
Their Senior Sister Qiushui not only awakened the Unicorn Celestial Horse Bloodline but also could break through to the Divine Mansion Realm at any time.
They wanted to see how Ye Chen, this waste, could possibly compete with her.
