Chapter 2565: Chapter 2539: Ancient Demon Scale! (Part 1)
Zhao Kun, who had been silent all along, suddenly downed a cup of liquor and said, “Brothers, I witnessed the fight between this youngster called Ye Chen and Han Ke.”
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Zhao Kun.
Zhao Kun spoke with a somewhat somber tone: “Although Han Ke doesn’t count for much in our eyes, he’s still a piece of trash with a bit of strength to him, especially his power, which can be considered strong. Among us all, only Brother Hong would likely be able to kill him in one move!”
Yu Feiye’s eyes flashed as he said: “Are you suggesting that this kid, with one move, executed Han Ke?”
Zhao Kun nodded vehemently: “Exactly! And what’s more, he did it with sheer strength, completely overwhelming Han Ke!”
“In terms of strength, this kid is quite unrivaled.”
“I really can’t fathom how this youngster cultivated such terrifying power.”
“Looking at that kid, his Root Bone is barely thirty years old…”
Upon hearing this, everyone fell into a moment of silence…
Even they lacked the confidence to eliminate Han Ke in one move, let alone with just strength. Could it be that this servant-disciple from the Great Void Realm was stronger than them?
Impossible, right?
Qi Xin frowned and said, “Although this kid doesn’t deserve to be called a ‘demonic nature’, his aptitude and potential are indeed somewhat terrifying.”
Among the four, it was only Hong Yan who remained calm, leisurely sipping his drink. Hearing Qi Xin’s words, he simply smiled faintly: “If he didn’t have such aptitude, then how could he have been personally brought into our sect by Tu Lanxin?”
Even, I’ve heard that the higher-ups of the sect are paying close attention to him in secret.”
Tu Lanxin!
At the mention of this name, the rest of the three showed a sudden change in expression!
The warriors of the Human Demon Clan were always extremely proud and looked down upon human cultivators, not putting human powerhouses in their sight. However, if there was one name among the humans that could make the people of the Human Demon Clan tremble, it was Tu Lanxin!
It was said that many years ago, their Supreme Strong Expert from the Human Demon Clan, Demon Venerate Yun Wuxing, had a chance encounter with Tu Lanxin during a battle with the Outer Heaven Demon.
Yun Wuxing possessed supreme talent even among the Human Demon Clan. After a thousand years of martial arts cultivation, he rose to the top and became one of the top hundred powerful beings of the Divine Kingdom!
Stunning all through the ages, let alone human women, he didn’t even spare a glance for the women of his own clan, deeming no one worthy of him!
Even a princess of the previous generation’s Demon Venerate, a monstrous talent, had been rejected by him when she was offered in marriage.
But ever since he met Tu Lanxin, Yun Wuxing had uncontrollably fallen in love with her!
He began to pursue her madly!
Yet, Tu Lanxin had never even looked him straight in the eye, rejecting him multiple times and even, feeling annoyed, clashed with Yun Wuxing!
The specifics are unclear to anyone, but ever since then, the Demon Venerate has secluded himself for cultivation, ceasing to wage war, and continues to do so to this very day…
This shows just how formidable Tu Lanxin’s strength is!
And how discerning her vision must be!
Yet such a woman had taken a liking to Ye Chen.
This sufficiently shows how heaven-defying Ye Chen’s existence is.
Yu Feiye’s eyes gleamed as he said: “Are we really just supposed to swallow our pride and bear with this?”
Qi Xin suddenly stood up, ready to walk out of the pavilion.
Hong Yan said indifferently: “Qi Xin, where are you going?”
Qi Xin halted his steps, and turning his head slightly, said in a frosty tone: “Brother Hong, if you intend to tell us to endure and avoid clashing with this kid, I’ve heard enough. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now.”
“Sit down.”
With that, Hong Yan brought out another wine cup, poured a cup of wine, placed it on the table, and with a smile, gestured to Qi Xin: “You know what I dislike the most—it’s putting up with things.”
Upon hearing this, a flicker of emotion crossed Qi Xin’s face, and he sat back down. He drank the wine poured by Hong Yan and asked, “Brother Hong, what do you mean? Are you confident you can defeat this kid?”
Hong Yan shook his head and said, “No.”
He was a rational person, with accurate judgment of strength, never blindly arrogant. He knew that excessive arrogance can lead to a swift death.
The other three slightly furrowed their brows.
However, Hong Yan did not seem bothered as he smiled and said, “Do you guys know why I originally sought you out to join the Divine Extreme Sect with me?”
The three exchanged glances and shook their heads.
With their talents, they could have joined any First-class force, but Hong Yan, back then, led them to join the weakest Divine Extreme Sect.
A glint flashed in Hong Yan’s purple eyes as he said, “It’s because there is an Ancient Book within the Divine Extreme Sect! An Ancient Book that records the secret techniques of the Ancient Demon Clan!”
Zhao Kun’s eyes widened as he exclaimed, “Are you saying that Four Demons Sealing Heaven Technique has been found?”
“Exactly!”
Qi Xin and the others displayed great joy at this revelation. To the Human Demon Clan, this Four Demons Sealing Heaven Technique was a Supreme Treasure!
They had been secretly searching for it for many years.
The Four Demons Sealing Heaven Technique, as suggested by the name, was originally meant to be practised in concert by four Ancient Demons. Legend had it that this martial arts could merge the power of four demons into one, even unleashing a force several times greater than the sum of their individual powers!
However, the Human Demon Clan was, after all, not the Ancient Demon Clan, and only the most outstanding human cultivators of the clan could possibly master it.
What’s more, the requirements for the core practitioner were extremely stringent!
Only those of the clan dubbed as Ancient Returners qualified for the role.
The so-called Ancient Returner refers to those of the Demon Clan with a bloodline so powerful it rivaled the Ancient Demons, an existence one in ten million among the Human Demon Clan!
And Hong Yan was such an Ancient Returner!
If they could master the Four Demons Sealing Heaven Technique, could their combined strength, even at the entry-level, stand a chance against a fourth-level Supreme Emperor realm expert?
But soon, the group calmed down, and Zhao Kun sighed, “This is indeed good news, but Brother Hong, the Four Demons Sealing Heaven Technique requires four people to execute together. Are you suggesting all four of us challenge Ye Chen?”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but laugh at the idea.
But Hong Yan calmly replied, “What if I say, ‘that’s correct’?”
The three were shocked upon hearing this. Four people challenging an entry-level servant disciple of the Great Void realm?
Even more, it would be the top elite fighters of the inner sanctums of the Human Demon Clan joining forces?
If this got out, wouldn’t they lose all face? Not just within the Divine Extreme Sect, but they would also be a laughingstock within the Human Demon Clan!
With the pride of the Human Demon Clan, they were unwilling to do so.
Moreover, Ye Chen, unless he was a fool, how could he accept such a battle?
Hong Yan saw the group’s hesitation and suddenly made a move. Three pitch-black scales appeared in front of Qi Xin and the others.
“Ancient Demon Scales!” The three cried out in unison with shock!
