Chapter 615: Chapter 608: Salted Fish

"Ye Zhen must win!"

"Ye Zhen must lose!"

The two diametrically opposed exclamations made the higher-ups of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect exchange looks in surprise. Even Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong couldn’t help but frown slightly, showing a hint of a headache.

These exclaims naturally came from the Sun and Moon Double Beauties, Fengh Qingyue and Yua Hanjing. However, it seemed as though Yua Hanjing was deliberately opposing Fengh Qingyue; right after Fengh Qingyue claimed that Ye Zhen must win, Yua Hanjing immediately countered. The two sharp gazes collided in the void, resounding mightily.

"Vice Hall Master Yua, since you have so much confidence in Sang Boquan, dare you make a bet with me?" Suddenly, Fengh Qingyue raised her delicate wrist, and the Purple and Blue Double Rings collided with a crisp sound, "I’ll wager these Purple and Blue Double Rings. What will you wager?"

Yua Hanjing’s expression froze abruptly, fully aware of what the Purple and Blue Double Rings represented to Fengh Qingyue. Although she thought Fengh Qingyue was somewhat impulsive, the fact that she immediately wagered the Purple and Blue Double Rings was indeed unexpected.

"Qingyue, about the match..."

"Shut up, since when can you address me as Qingyue!" Fengh Qingyue’s stern rebuke caused Yua Hanjing to freeze, taking a while to snap out of it. This scene made Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong frown once again.

"Do you want to bet or not? I’m using the Purple and Blue Double Rings, betting on Ye Zhen’s victory! If you’re too scared, then just keep your mouth shut and don’t spout that ’Ye Zhen must win’ talk. If you can’t even stand by your own judgment, stop being so insincere!" Fengh Qingyue was rather aggressive.

Having repeatedly lost face to Fengh Qingyue, Yua Hanjing, unusually, did not lash out or curse, but instead showed a look of extreme aggrievement, which Ye Zhen found very strange.

This doesn’t make sense.

Before this, whenever Yua Hanjing clashed with Fengh Qingyue, hadn’t she always called her ’little whore,’ each time more unpleasant than the last?

And now she had suddenly become submissive?

Even if Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong were present, her attitude wouldn’t have changed so drastically; at least, Fengh Qingyue always treated Yua Hanjing the same as before, without a hint of politeness.

With a look of aggrievement on her pretty face, Yua Hanjing suddenly clenched her teeth and removed the Golden Hairpin from her head. Ye Zhen remembered that this Golden Hairpin of Yua Hanjing’s was also a Low Grade Spirit Artifact.

"Fine, if you, Hall Master Fengh, are so intent on betting, then I’ll bet too. But all I have is this Low Grade Spir..."

"Enough, a Spirit Artifact is a martial artist’s foundational property, how can it be gambled in a fit of pique? Since you have different opinions, just watch!" Surprisingly, the voice of Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong sounded, timely putting a stop to the wager.

Ye Zhen mentally lamented in disappointment, just a moment more and Fengh Qingyue could have won a Low Grade Spirit Artifact.

A hint of smugness flashed through Yua Hanjing’s eyes, while Fengh Qingyue’s expression turned somewhat ugly, biting her lips in annoyance.

Indeed, just as Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong had said, her judgment was somewhat influenced by pique. Plus, Fengh Qingyue’s resolute betting made her more cautious.

After all, not everyone among the Martial Artists of the Vein Forging Realms possessed a Low Grade Spirit Artifact.

"What do you all think?" Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong then turned to ask the others.

"Sect Leader, since I recommended Ye Zhen, of course I am optimistic about him!" Tian Guizhang stated.

"Vice Sect Master Tian, I really have to say to your judgments..." Yao Sen shook his head with a targeted contradiction, "Even if Ye Zhen has extraordinary talent, for someone at the Third Stage of the Soul Sea Realm to fight against Sang Boquan at the Second Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, it’s already quite difficult to win – let alone when he is severely injured and has lost an arm."

"Sect Leader, in my view Sang Boquan has a slightly better chance of winning!" announced Shen Cang, head of Sunshine Hall.

"Since Vice Sect Master Tian could bring Ye Zhen here, I think Ye Zhen’s strength can’t be that far off. However, the fact of his serious injuries is indeed undeniable. I believe the odds between Ye Zhen and Sang Boquan might be 30 to 70," Head of the Inner Affairs Hall, Zhu Ling, gave a rather slippery answer.

"Sect Leader, in my opinion, Sang Boquan has a higher chance of winning!" Hee Yangxin, the newly appointed commander of the Sun and Moon Divine Guards, felt considerable pressure.

"It seems that most tend to favor Sang Boquan. Elder Tus, what do you think?"

"Me?" Elder Tus, who had been half-closing his eyes, slightly lifted his eyelids, "I actually think that Ye Zhen might win! Extraordinary people do extraordinary things. Otherwise, why would someone at the Third Stage of the Cultivation be standing here?"

"Oh?"

Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong let out a meaningful hum and his gaze turned towards the Great Commander Jio Yuanxiu who, realizing his cue, bellowed loudly, "Let the duel begin!"

In the midst of the clash, Great Commander Jio Yuanxiu himself flew up into the midair, his body radiating Spirit Light and Divine Soul Waves, clearly ready to deal with any unexpected situations during the match.

If even the Sect Leader had to intervene, then he, as the Great Commander, wouldn’t be doing his job very well!

"Please!"

"Please!"

As soon as the word ’please’ was spoken, an incredibly sharp aura burst forth from Sang Boquan’s body, and a phantom image of a silver spear suddenly rose behind him, instantly plunging into the Silver Spear he held, merging with it, as brilliant light burst forth.

Almost as soon as they merged, the Silver Spear lightly tapped forward, and in front of Sang Boquan exploded thousands of silver sparks, aiming at Ye Zhen from all directions.

Each silver spark emitted a piercing sound as it tore through the air. Thousands of these sounds converged into a thunderclap-like roar.

What was more terrifying, the whirlwinds created by the thousands of silver sparks joined into a single spiral gleaming like a silver Flood Dragon, full of domineering aura, and surged towards Ye Zhen.

Thunderclap Dragon Spear!

Heavenly Level Mid-grade Divine Power Martial Technique, Thunderclap Dragon Spear!

Right from the start, Sang Boquan employed his strongest Divine Power Martial Skill, vowing to defeat Ye Zhen in the shortest time possible.

While Sang Boquan’s side exuded an astonishing aura, on the other hand, Ye Zhen seemed quite ordinary.

A purple seal appeared lightly in front of his chest, exuding a mysterious aura of power, and because of the Shattered Jade Scripture’s prompting, the Purple Jade Spirit Power on its surface constantly collapsed inward, hardly allowing any power fluctuations to be felt.

In terms of momentum, Ye Zhen was utterly defeated!

"Brother Nian, who do you think will win?"

At the side of the Ritual Altar, Zuo Xiong conversed with Nian Xinghe while his eyes were firmly fixed on the two competitors, not wanting to miss any detail.

"We... who can’t even predict what the Hall Masters and elders have said," suddenly, Nian Xinghe’s face changed drastically.

In the battlefield, Ye Zhen raised his hand, and the Purple Jade Seal in front of his chest traced a streak of Spirit Light as it met Sang Boquan’s Divine Power Martial Skill, the Thunderclap Dragon Spear formed from tens of thousands of silver light dots.

"Is this all the skill you’ve got?" Sang Boquan suddenly revealed a sinister smile. His Thunderclap Dragon Spear had thirteen variations, and this was only the most basic one, "Kill!" With the speed of lightning, Sang Boquan’s figure merged with the spear, becoming one with the Thunderclap Dragon Spear, and ferociously bombarded Ye Zhen.

"Suppress!"

Ye Zhen’s lips lightly touched as he uttered these two simple words, but to Sang Boquan, they were as startling as a thunderclap on a clear day!

Purple light burst forth from the Shattered Jade Seal abruptly, and wherever it passed, everything came to a stop. Around the Shattered Jade Seal’s purple light, whirlwinds appeared out of thin air.

This scene caused the complexions of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s higher-ups to change dramatically.

Air tornadoes only occur when a tremendous force completely expels the air in an area in an instant. It’s not something that a typical Vein Forging Realm warrior can achieve, yet it appeared before Ye Zhen!

Bang!

A grating collision sound suddenly erupted.

Sang Boquan’s Thunderclap Dragon Spear, forged from tens of thousands of silver light dots, clashed against the purple light emitted by the Shattered Jade Seal as it suppressed, erupting and then shattering bit by bit.

However, the Shattered Jade Seal in the void did not budge!

"Ah?" Everyone was shocked by this scene.

Desperate, Sang Boquan’s hand twisted the Silver Spear in his palm, and the Thunderclap Dragon Spear suddenly began to whirl like a cyclone, "Dragon Drill Spear!"

This was the most powerful attack in his Divine Power Martial Skill, Thunderclap Dragon Spear; even martial artists at the Third Stage of Vein Forging Realm didn’t dare to face it head-on. It should have been enough to break through Ye Zhen’s Shattered Jade Seal.

However, at the same time, Ye Zhen quietly shouted another word.

"Explode!"

This word did not have much effect on Sang Boquan when he heard it, but the consequences it triggered made Sang Boquan’s face instantly lose all color.

The inward-collapsing power upon the Shattered Jade Seal, under the guidance of Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power, lost its balance in an instant and exploded; purple radiance burst forth from inside out. In the sky, it was immediately covered with a purple glow, and even the fierce sun hanging high in the sky lost its color at that moment.

Sang Boquan’s newly formed Dragon Drill Spear under this purple light, melted away as swiftly as snow under hot soup. However, the power of the Dragon Drill Spear was quite formidable as it blocked most of the force from the exploding Shattered Jade Seal.

Even so, the leftover might was still more than Sang Boquan could handle. Ye Zhen’s Shattered Jade Seal could directly suppress and shatter the Red Flame Sky Net, a Divine Power Martial Skill cast by Jiao Xi, a Fifth Stage Vein Forging martial artist; let alone the Divine Power Martial Skill deployed by Sang Boquan, a Second Stage Vein Forging martial artist.

Even his Heavenly Level Mid-Grade Divine Power Martial Skill was no match!

Crack!

With a crisp sound, the Protective Spirit Armor on Sang Boquan collapsed cleanly under the residual power of the Shattered Jade Seal; the remaining purple radiance slammed onto his chest. In a critical moment, Sang Boquan retracted his Silver Spear, and a burst of silver light erupted to catch Ye Zhen’s move!

But before Sang Boquan could catch his breath, another shrill sound of tearing through the air came. Another purple seal tore through the void, descending like lightning towards Sang Boquan’s head!

"Suppress!"

The voice of Ye Zhen followed closely, and the overwhelming purple light instantly enveloped Sang Boquan from above.

Under the suppression of the purple light from the Shattered Jade Seal, Sang Boquan was like a piece of wood, directly plummeted by Ye Zhen from the sky. The moment his feet hit the ground hard, the purple light from the Shattered Jade Seal followed suit, and like a mountain range falling, it continued to barrage Sang Boquan’s head.

Boom!

Under the terrifying force of suppression, Sang Boquan’s knees buckled sharply, and he went to his knees uncontrollably. This kneeling, like an avalanche, brought with it a terrifying force of suppression. His waist gave in, and in the blink of an eye, Sang Boquan lay flat on the ground like a salted fish!
