Chapter 198: Chapter 195: Capture the Flag

Blood light flickered as a martial artist suddenly appeared within the Commander Hall.

"Luv Zixiong?"

"Luv Zixiong, the top disciple of the inner gate of Sword Origin Sect!"

The moment he recognized the face of the martial artist who had entered the Commander Hall, a cold and sharp joy suddenly surfaced on Ye Zhen’s lips.

Simultaneously, Ye Zhen’s fingers loosened slightly!

Whoosh!

The sound of the Green Winged Spirit Arrow piercing through the air, loud enough to tear the eardrums, filled the space as the disrupted air rolled like a wave right in front of Luv Zixiong’s forehead, the arrow reaching its target almost instantly.

Before the Green Winged Spirit Arrow could shatter his skull, a dense burst of Spirit Light suddenly surged over Luv Zixiong’s body. Ye Zhen recognized it as the Protective Spirit Light unique to a Protective Spirit Talisman, and it was not a low-grade one.

It was at least the kind that could block a full-force strike from a Peak of Spirit Summoning Realm martial artist.

However, in front of the Green Winged Spirit Arrow, even the Protective Spirit Talisman that could block a full-force strike from a martial artist at the Peak of Spirit Summoning Realm was like paper, immediately torn apart.

But, the Protective Spirit Light from the talisman delayed the Green Winged Spirit Arrow for a brief moment, giving Luv Zixiong, who had just stepped into the Commander Hall, a chance to make an instinctive reaction.

This was an instinctive response of a martial artist when facing mortal danger.

His Dantian constricted and Protective Spirit Power surged out wildly, while his head sharply tilted.

This tilt of the head saved Luv Zixiong’s life.

The Green Winged Spirit Arrow, delayed by the Spirit Light of the talisman, whooshed past Luv Zixiong’s ear.

Where the Green Winged Spirit Arrow passed, even the air seemed to rip open like waves, not to mention Luv Zixiong’s ear.

Chii!

Luv Zixiong’s right ear was cleanly sliced off by the passing Green Winged Spirit Arrow, and deep gashes opened on the right side of his skull, leaving the white of the bone clearly visible.

Only then did Luv Zixiong let out a thunderous scream, his Protective Spirit Force flaring intensely around him.

"Ye Zhen!"

Upon recognizing the person attacking him, Luv Zixiong’s eyes were about to split with fury.

At this moment, Ye Zhen, having missed with one arrow, had already stepped forward, his right hand wielding the Sky Crystal Sword emitting Wind Cloud Sword Qi, and his left hand stretched out with a seven to eight zhang long True Yuan Sword Finger, made of Ice Fiend Qi, slashing down towards Luv Zixiong’s head.

Luv Zixiong had no way to dodge and could only brace himself.

However, the sudden drop in temperature inside the Commander Hall and the terrifying chill emanating from Ye Zhen’s True Yuan Sword Finger gave Luv Zixiong an ominous feeling of unease.

But he had no choice.

Who told him to lose initiative as soon as he entered the Commander Hall, Ye Zhen seizing control step by step!

Sword light surged, and faintly, there was a sound resembling a dragon’s roar, a pure sword light-formed dragon shape fiercely charged towards Ye Zhen’s Wind Cloud Sword Qi.

Dragon Roar Sword Technique’s Dragon Rising — This was the killing move from the Dragon Roar Sword Technique of the Sword Origin Sect practiced by Luv Zixiong, the most powerful and his favorite move!

Bang!

The Wind Cloud Sword Qi and the sword light-formed dragon shape tore through the air almost simultaneously. In that moment, Luv Zixiong violently lifted the scabbard in his hand, and Spiritual Power surged out, blocking the shockingly cold True Yuan Sword Finger from Ye Zhen.

He managed to block it, but the expression on Luv Zixiong’s face changed drastically in that instant!

Ye Zhen sneered. Managing to block his Wind Cloud Sword Qi was indeed a feat for Luv Zixiong, but Ye Zhen, seeking a quick resolution, had his True Yuan Sword Finger formed from Ice Fiend Qi as his ace.

The bone-chilling cold immediately caused Luv Zixiong’s left side to lose its agility and, in the blink of an eye when his powerful Spiritual Power concentrated on his left side against the terrifying chill, a strikingly beautiful sword light suddenly slashed down!

"No..."

The horrified scream of Luv Zixiong echoed, but it was cut short the moment his head flew off, his gaze fixed and fading from brilliance.

"Roar!"

The Cloud Winged Tiger Cub, having just pounced close, roared dissatisfiedly at Ye Zhen, protesting his hogging of the opportunity and not letting it participate.

"There will be plenty of chances for you to take part!"

In the blink of an eye, Luv Zixiong, the top disciple of the Sword Origin Sect’s inner gate, was killed by Ye Zhen.

This top disciple of the Sword Origin Sect’s inner gate, Luv Zixiong, was remarkable, managing not only to escape death under the Green Wing Divine Bow but also, despite being at a severe disadvantage, to spar a few moves with Ye Zhen.

However, compared to Luo Jingtian, the Six-Fingered Eagle Demon and Human Bear Cha Hai, this top disciple of the Sword Origin Sect, Luv Zixiong, still fell short.

With Luv Zixiong’s example before him, Ye Zhen became even more cautious. The Green Wing Divine Bow was half-drawn, his concentration total, and blood light manifested, and the moment a figure appeared, a Green Winged Spirit Arrow would be fired.

Some people, having not even seen Ye Zhen’s face, were shot dead by him using the Green Wing Divine Bow.

In no time at all, two disciples from the Phantom Divine Sect, one disciple from the Sword Origin Sect, two disciples from the Gu Xuan Sect of Gu’an Kingdom, and one Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner sequentially entered the Commander Hall and were each shot dead by Ye Zhen.

At one point, within the span of two breaths, two martial artists entered. If a third person had entered, Ye Zhen would have been forced to use his Sword Vein Divine Power from the Origin Sword Vein.

In just a hundred breaths, the entire Commander Hall turned into a slaughterhouse, the stench of blood reaching to the heavens.

Ye Zhen had no choice but to take again two Nine-Transition Soul Restoration Pills to restore the excessively drained Spiritual Power.

The Green Wing Divine Bow was indeed powerful, but it consumed too much. Even with Ye Zhen’s breakthrough to the Peak of Spirit Summoning Realm, firing just ten arrows would nearly deplete the Spiritual Power in his Dantian.

Whoosh!

In the Commander Hall, blood light flashed again.

Almost simultaneously, the half-drawn Green Wing Divine Bow was fully drawn by Ye Zhen.

The imposing figure of Human Bear Cha Hai emerged from the blood light, only his left arm was missing halfway from the elbow, and fresh blood was faintly visible!

The moment he stepped into the Commander Hall, Cha Hai forcefully sniffed.

Such a strong smell of blood!

With his experience, it wouldn’t smell this strongly without dozens of people dead.

In an instant, Human Bear Cha Hai’s nerves snapped to their extreme!

Crack!

The slight vibration of the bowstring immediately tensed up all the muscles in Human Bear Cha Hai’s body, and under the activation of his special Body Cultivation technique, his entire strength was poised for action.

Whoosh!

Virtually at the same time, the sound of the Green Winged Spirit Arrow piercing through the air resounded.

The formidable aura emitted by the Green Winged Spirit Arrow made Human Bear Cha Hai spring up like a coil, instinctively making an evasive maneuver almost at the instant the bowstring sounded, he began dodging!

But the speed of the Green Winged Spirit Arrow was too fast!

Human Bear Cha Hai’s superhuman alertness only allowed him to narrowly escape a fatal headshot from the Green Winged Spirit Arrow!

Thump!

The sound of the Green Winged Spirit Arrow penetrating flesh and a chilling sound occurred simultaneously.

Ye Zhen was shocked by Human Bear Cha Hai’s robust physique.

Under one arrow, the Green Winged Spirit Arrow did not shatter Human Bear Cha Hai’s shoulder but merely pierced a thumb-sized hole through it!

However, the massive force of the Green Winged Spirit Arrow still had Human Bear Cha Hai blasted back and sent flying.

In the moment of being blasted back, Human Bear Cha Hai finally saw clearly who was attacking him.

"Ye Zhen?"

In an instant, Human Bear Cha Hai’s expression contorted as if he had seen a ghost, his pupils shrank, and before landing, he fiercely supported himself with his right arm, propelling himself angularly upwards like a crossbow arrow.

Whoosh!

In a flash, Human Bear Cha Hai rushed into the Commander Hall’s teleportation channel and vanished in an instant.

Just as Ye Zhen stepped forward, planning to take advantage of the momentum to finish off Human Bear Cha Hai, his expression abruptly froze!

Goodness, Human Bear Cha Hai had actually escaped!

This was the first Martial Artist to escape under the Green Wing Divine Bow and also the first to successfully escape from the Commander Hall.

"The physique of a Body Cultivator is indeed powerful!"

Recalling Human Bear Cha Hai, who had taken a direct hit from the Green Winged Spirit Arrow yet only had a small hole in his shoulder, that defensive power was just too terrifying.

Ye Zhen understood that it was only because he possessed the Ice Fiend Qi, which happened to counter Human Bear Cha Hai, that he might have had an advantage in the narrow space favorable for Body Cultivation; otherwise, the outcome of victory and defeat was uncertain.

"Damn it, it’s that freak...."

In the breathless escape from death, Human Bear Cha Hai gasped heavily, and a trace of fear uncontrollably surfaced on his cheeks.

The half of his left arm, which he had to personally sever an hour ago during an encounter with Ye Zhen, had been affected by the Ice Fiend Qi.

The Ice Fiend Qi was so terrifying that upon seeing Ye Zhen, Human Bear Cha Hai fled as if he had seen a ghost.

"It seems, this time, there’s no portion for us in the War Soul Blood Flag! But, as long as we prevent the Phantom Divine Empire from taking it, that would be a great fortune...."

Suddenly, a hint of a smile emerged on Human Bear Cha Hai’s face, "I wonder what would be the result should Luo Jingtian, the Six-Fingered Eagle Demon from the Phantom Divine Sect, encounter Ye Zhen...."

Human Bear Cha Hai could never have dreamt that Luo Jingtian, the Six-Fingered Eagle Demon, had already been killed by Ye Zhen!

Having the War Soul Blood Flag, Human Bear Cha Hai dared not enter the Commander Hall, but other Martial Artists from various nations rushed in one after another.

Since the War Soul Blood Flag was not yet taken, they naturally had to give it a shot.

But what awaited them was a Green Winged Spirit Arrow shot by the mid-grade treasure Green Wing Divine Bow.

In the succeeding fifteen minutes, Ye Zhen killed more than twenty Martial Artists from the Five Countries!

Among them, Southern Barbarian Tribe accounted for the majority.

The Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioners of the Southern Barbarian Tribe had the strongest ability to hunt Demon Soul Blood Crystals, so almost all the Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioners had a set of Thousand-man Demon Soul Blood Crystals necessary to activate the Teleportation Array.

All in all, within this Commander Hall, nine Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioners met their end at the hands of Ye Zhen.

Below the Southern Barbarian Tribe, the Martial Artists from the Phantom Divine Sect were the most numerous, with six consecutively entering the Commander Hall only to be shot dead by Ye Zhen one by one.

If we don’t count Human Bear Cha Hai, the number of martial artists from Gu’an Kingdom and those from the Sword Origin Sect entering the Commander Hall was about the same, only four!

As for the Black Water Kingdom, Ye Zhen actually hoped to see one, but he saw none.

At this moment, within the Commander Hall, not counting the small mountain-like demon beast corpses, there were twenty-three corpses of Martial Artists from the other four countries.

"Hundred breaths are up, it’s been over a hundred breaths since anyone entered the Commander Hall... It should be about time...."

Apart from Human Bear Cha Hai who was injured and fled, other top Martial Artists from the four countries had been mostly killed by Ye Zhen. He figured that even if someone happened to rush in next, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub could hold out for a few breaths.

Now, taking the War Soul Blood Flag, Ye Zhen’s risks could be minimized!

"It’s time...."

"Cub, protect me!"

Taking a deep breath, Ye Zhen expelled Spiritual Power from his hands and latched onto the blood-colored metal flagpole of the War Soul Blood Flag!

In an instant, the War Soul Blood Flag burst into brilliant Blood Light!

And in Ye Zhen’s sensation, the moment his hand touched the flagpole, a tide of blood surged down, rushing wildly towards his Divine Soul!

Hum!

The overwhelming impact made Ye Zhen’s forehead feel as if it had been hammered by tens of thousands of mallets, resonating loudly, yet an uncontrollable delight surfaced on Ye Zhen’s cheeks.

Amidst the surging Blood Tide, bits of information also integrated into Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul.

Almost the moment Ye Zhen’s hand touched the flagpole of the War Soul Blood Flag, a drastic change abruptly happened in the entire Great Hall of Demon Souls!(To be continued.
