Chapter 319: Chapter 316: Battle with Chu Jun

"Humph, waited for three days, has the Qiyun Sect finally sent someone to meet their death?" Seeing Ye Zhen ascend the platform, Ba Guo’an’s face twisted into a fierce smile.

"Just now, it was you who insulted Fairy Caiyi, wasn’t it? Apologize, and I can allow you to step down with dignity!"

"What? Kid, are you an idiot? Is there something wrong with your brain?" Ye Zhen’s shout left Ba Guo’an momentarily stunned.

"A woman, insulted is insulted; step down with dignity? She’s been hiding for three days like a turtle in its shell, not showing her face. I didn’t even finish calling her a b—..."

"Shut your mouth!"

Behind Ba Guo’an, Chu Jun’s reprimand rang out, "Ba Guo’an, you’re not unaware of Ye Zhen’s achievements. Cut the lip service and be careful!"

It must be said, Chu Jun was extremely cautious about the opponent Ye Zhen. However, it would be difficult not to be. Back when Ye Zhen’s cultivation was still in the True Essence Realm, he had almost cost Chu Jun his life, let alone now that his cultivation had broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Zhen’s gaze turned icy, and the spiritual power around his body surged, covering him in a Green Jade Spirit Armor tightly locking onto Ba Guo’an with overwhelming killing qi and spiritual power.

"Thinking of fighting? First, follow the rules! Without putting up ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals, I won’t lift a finger against you. Kid, you’re not so poor that you can’t afford ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals, right?" Ba Guo’an sneered.

"Ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals, is it? Look carefully!"

Ye Zhen raised his hand, and a massive number of Low Grade Spirit Crystals flew out from his storage ring, falling onto the small mountain formed by the already accumulated crystals.

Indeed, that mountain-like pile of Low Grade Spirit Crystals was precisely why Chu Jun and others tolerated the Qiyun Sect warriors engaging in consecutive battles. Over two hundred thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals, even to a Soul Sea Realm martial artist, was a considerable sum.

After all, if the Qiyun Sect True Disciples couldn’t defeat them, they’d just keep sending them into battle one after another. With every victory, they could accumulate another ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals. This method was quicker than robbery.

"Is it enough now?"

"Enough!"

"Then lose!"

As Ba Guo’an nodded, the spiritual power around his body also dazzled forth. Almost in the same instant, Ye Zhen’s figure flashed out like a bolt of lightning, rushing towards Ba Guo’an.

"Eh, Spirit Transformation Second Stage?"

"Junior Brother Ye’s cultivation has actually reached the Spirit Transformation Realm Second Stage?" As Ye Zhen’s spiritual power emanated outward, all the spectators were taken aback.

"Spirit Transformation Realm Second Stage?" Lik Shi and Zhongli Jing were both shocked, in one year’s time, his cultivation had broken through from the Peak of Spirit Summoning Realm to the Spirit Transformation Realm and then to the Spirit Transformation Realm Second Stage, the speed of this...

"So what if it’s the Second Stage? Against Ba Guo’an in the Fourth Stage of Spirit Transformation Realm, it’s still a loss!" Fan Chuyu, however, appeared annoyed, "Damn it, if Ye Zhen had listened to my plan... If he had followed my plan..."

Suddenly, Fan Chuyu’s eyes bulged, and he stood frozen in shock.

Not just Fan Chuyu, but Luv Xin, Mei Yuanju, Wu Mingda, Lik Shi, and Zhongli Jing’s expressions all became stupefied at that moment. Including Chu Jun, whose face suddenly bore an expression akin to having seen a ghost.

In just a single encounter, before people could even comprehend the process, Ba Guo’an, who had been brutalizing numerous Qiyun Sect True Disciples for three days, was defeated by Ye Zhen.

To be precise, he was captured alive by Ye Zhen.

At this moment, Ba Guo’an was held by Ye Zhen like a little chicken; smack!

A resounding slap echoed across Ba Guo’an’s face.

"Apologize to Fairy Caiyi right now, or I won’t mind slapping you to death! Smack!" As he spoke, Ye Zhen sent another slap flying.

At that moment, Ba Guo’an also appeared dazed. He had yet to grasp what had happened when he was captured alive by Ye Zhen. After being struck by Ye Zhen’s furious blows, Ba Guo’an then came to grips with the situation.

As Ye Zhen rushed forward, Ba Guo’an charged too, even unleashing his signature martial skill, the Great Sun Starfire Palm, aiming at Ye Zhen. In his mind, if Ye Zhen took the blow head-on, he would either die or be severely injured.

But Ye Zhen actually took it head-on!

Using his shoulder, not a defensive technique.

Then, unscathed, Ye Zhen managed to break through the protective spirit force around Ba Guo’an in an instant, and like capturing a little chicken, he seized control of Ba Guo’an’s spine.

Indeed, the approach Ye Zhen used against Ba Guo’an was the same as he had used against Wen Tianyu: relying on the Green Jade Spirit Armor to take a blow head-on, exchanging injury for injury, and instantly defeating his opponent.

Of course, being protected by the Green Jade Spirit Armor, a martial artist from the Spirit Realm would normally not be able to injure Ye Zhen.

This type of tactic was actually Ye Zhen’s favorite. Because it was the most explosive and direct, but also the most mysterious!

In the distance, Qiyun Sect Leader Guo Qijing, as well as Liao Feibai, were dumbfounded.

They had anticipated Ye Zhen might win, but they did not expect that he would win so decisively!

Smack! Smack! Smack!

The series of crisp slaps from Ye Zhen were what finally roused everyone from their stupor.

Among the Qiyun Sect True Disciples, Fan Chuyu’s face turned from red to white. He had just declared Ye Zhen couldn’t possibly win, boasting about his own brilliance.

But at that moment, Ye Zhen captured Ba Guo’an in a single move.

Those loud slaps were like blows to Fan Chuyu’s own face, making him wish he could crawl into a hole and hide.

Fairy Caiyi watched Ye Zhen quietly, her eyes seemingly fixed upon him alone.

"Still not apologizing? Believe me, I won’t hesitate to slap you to death!" Ye Zhen declared coldly.

Ba Guo’an’s face swollen with shame and rage, he seethed, "Apologize? In your dreams! If you’re so tough, just kill me!"

Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly turned frosty, "Killing someone is actually very simple!"

"Ye Zhen, there’s no need to go overboard in killing, is there? Why humiliate Ba Guo’an like this?" Chu Jun spoke up.

"I gave him a chance! And just now, I gave him another one, but since he doesn’t want it, I’ll just have to fulfill his wish." Almost instantly, spiritual power surged on the palm that Ye Zhen was striking towards Ba Guo’an.

"Ba Guo’an, apologize to Fairy Caiyi immediately!"

Almost at the same time, Lik Shi, an elder of the Lishui Sect, ordered Ba Guo’an with urgency.

"Apologize quickly!" Lik Shi nearly roared.

With Lik Shi’s repeated angry shouts and the frequent warning looks, Ba Guo’an realized the seriousness of the situation and struggled to apologize.

"I... I’m sorry, Fairy Caiyi, my mouth was foul; I shouldn’t have insulted you..."

Ye Zhen’s gaze turned to Caiyi; whether the apology was satisfactory depended on her.

"I don’t want to stay here; I want to return to Fairy Peak quickly. I have so much to tell you!"

Caiyi’s candid confession surprised everyone present and relieved Ba Guo’an of his predicament.

"Okay!"

With a flick, Ye Zhen sent Ba Guo’an flying away.

"Bastard, die!"

Almost instantly, Ba Guo’an, who had been released from the lock on his spine, regained his ability to attack and a fire dragon flew out from between his palms, heading straight for Ye Zhen.

"Hmph, seeking death!"

Witnessing Ba Guo’an’s surprise counterattack, Ye Zhen sneered coldly and let the fire dragon blast onto his chest, before lashing out a lightning-fast kick.

Bang!

Kicked by Ye Zhen, Ba Guo’an was sent flying like a cannonball, fresh blood spraying from his mouth like a fountain.

The spiritual fire dragon that bombarded Ye Zhen’s chest exploded, but his Green Jade Spirit Armor showed not even the slightest ripple of movement. There was no helping it, Jade Spirit Power had the strongest suppression over Fire Spirit Power.

With Ba Guo’an’s cultivation, if he had used any other type of spiritual power, he might have caused a few cracks to appear on Ye Zhen’s Green Jade Spirit Armor. However, with the common Fire Element Spiritual Power, it was completely restrained by Ye Zhen’s Jade Spirit Power.

The disciples of Qiyun Sect watching the battle were dumbfounded.

Was this the same Ba Guo’an from the Lishui Sect, the True Inheritor who had been bullying the True Disciples of Qiyun Sect to death? Why did he seem so weak in the hands of Ye Zhen, like a pile of mush?

After sending Ba Guo’an flying with one kick, Ye Zhen’s eyes steadily focused on Chu Jun.

"Chu Jun, will you come up yourself or send someone else to test my strength?" Ye Zhen called out coldly.

Upon hearing this, Chu Jun’s expression shook, and an involuntary look crossed his face.

And to tell the truth, Chu Jun was considering whether to let a fellow disciple go up and fight again, so he could grasp more of the situation.

Mainly because the level of strength Ye Zhen had demonstrated was terrifying; he had captured Ba Guo’an with just one move.

Chu Jun admitted to himself that defeating Ba Guo’an wouldn’t be a problem for him, but capturing Ba Guo’an alive with a single move was something he definitely couldn’t do.

What made him feel helpless was that during this exchange, he had gained nothing from Ye Zhen’s overwhelming combat power except for observing the strong defensive capability of Ye Zhen’s Green Jade Spirit Armor.

This made Chu Jun feel hesitant; the power Ye Zhen had shown in his move just now had shattered Chu Jun’s previous full confidence.

"What a joke, do you really think you’re capable?"

Despite denying it verbally, Chu Jun stepped onto the Martial Combat Platform.

"Here!"

Ye Zhen sneered at Chu Jun who understood immediately, and a piece worth ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Crystals flew towards the small mountain of Spirit Crystals on the side.

"Chu Jun, I’ve waited for this battle for a long time!" Ye Zhen took a deep breath, his voice rising abruptly.

Chu Jun’s expression changed, "So have I!"

"Not for Meng Chuan, and not even for Meng Xiaoyue, but for Meng Xiaoyue’s grandmother, Old Madam Meng! Among martial artists, it is survival of the fittest. Whatever you do to another martial artist, you have your reasons. But what you did to Old Madam Meng, an ordinary old woman, is something I will definitely make you answer for!" Ye Zhen declared resolutely.

"Actually..."

Chu Jun wanted to deny involvement in the killing of Old Madam Meng—a disgraceful act. But when he started to speak, he realized that any explanation at this moment would seem incredibly weak.

"Come on, then, let’s fight. For the injustice done to a defenseless body, I have waited for this day for a long time!"

Red Spiritual Power suddenly appeared around Chu Jun’s body, coalescing into a layer of Protective Spirit Force. Almost simultaneously, bright flames emerged from the location of his heart, left lung, stomach, liver, and kidneys.

As the five flames flickered, they immediately solidified into a wall of fire on the surface. The moment the fire wall appeared, the massive stone beneath Chu Jun instantly melted into liquid stone.

"Ye Zhen, that’s the Five Internal Spirit Fire from Chu Jun’s Five Fire Battle Body, perfected to a Great Accomplishment. Don’t take it lightly!" Seventh Elder Zhongli Jing, who was watching the battle, gave a warning. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.
