Making a Move

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Wu had actually been defeated outright. He did not even know what method that strange woman had used, and he was already unable to move...

This stunned the audience below.

He had only just defeated the renowned Fist Emperor, yet a strong person of that level had been defeated so easily. Then how strong was the one who defeated him?

And that was not all...

At that moment, Cheng Wu stood there as the blood-colored patterns around him seemed to come alive, constantly crawling over his body. In the end, they actually followed his facial features and began slowly invading his body.

Everyone present felt their scalps go numb at the sight. Waves of bone-piercing chill rose from the depths of their hearts. When they looked again at the bewitching, alluring woman in blood robes opposite him, though her appearance was still beautiful, inside she was a demon wearing painted skin!

When Ye Chen saw this, he could not help frowning.

It seemed this Wind Cloud Arena was destined to be different from all the previous ones. From an opportunity to recruit strong people, it had directly turned into a place where Clear Moon City's Four Heirs slaughtered one another!

However, it did not matter.

In any case, all he wanted was to attract Lin Yutong's attention and find a pretext for his own intervention, so he did not care about the situation in the arena.

"Old Hu!" Ye Chen called softly to Hu Tian beside him.

When the latter heard this, he immediately understood Ye Chen's meaning.

Without the slightest hesitation, Hu Tian's figure suddenly vanished from where he stood.

On the arena stage, Blood Dance had originally been watching Cheng Wu, who had already lost half his life, with a strange smile on her face. As long as she was given a little more time, she would be able to completely coagulate all the blood and qi in his body, turning it into blood essence to become nourishment for herself!

A Seven Star Dou Huang...

If she could drain all the blood essence from his body, it would be enough to raise her own strength by one star. It was far better than those trash that Scoundrel Lin Yucheng had provided her!

At that moment, a bolt of Thunder Light suddenly descended from the sky and struck directly between the two of them.

By the time Blood Dance reacted, her Blood Coagulation Art had already been interrupted by the Thunder Light. A surge of reversed blood suddenly erupted from her heart, directly impacting the blood vessels throughout her body...

Her originally fair Pretty Face suddenly turned crimson, and then, as if it had burst apart, countless fine threads of blood shot out from the blood vessels beneath the skin all over her body. For a time, the scene became incomparably bloody.

"Ah!!!"

A scream like that of a malicious ghost rang out, and Blood Dance instantly transformed into a Blood Shadow and disappeared from where she stood.

"Tsk, tsk. Backlash from a secret art. Looks like this woman is going to suffer!" Ye Chen sat to the side watching the show, unable to keep the teasing thought from rising in his heart at the sight.

This was the price of cultivating a Blood Attribute Secret Art. The power of backlash was truly terrifying!

"How dare you!"

When Lin Yucheng saw this, he instantly flew into a rage. He stood up and shouted angrily, never expecting that there would actually be someone in Clear Moon City who dared interfere in the Lin Family's affairs.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and capture this madman for me! I want to see who gave him the nerve to cause trouble on the Wind Cloud Arena!"

The three subordinates behind Lin Yucheng immediately rushed forward, fists, feet, saber, and sword all coming at once as they charged toward Hu Tian on the arena stage.

Unfortunately, the strongest of these three was only a Three-Star Dou Huang. Two of them were even at the Dou Wang level, far inferior to the previous Cheng Wu, Fan Qingge, and the others.

After all, this was only an arena match. Even if they had wanted to scheme, it was impossible for them to truly bring out all the forces at their side...

However, Hu Tian's appearance had clearly exceeded the Lin brothers' expectations.

Facing the dense sword qi rushing straight at him, Hu Tian's expression remained calm. Only when the other party appeared within two feet of him did that broad palm suddenly probe forward. In the end, his five fingers clenched, and he actually caused the sword force containing that dense energy to freeze in place.

"What?!" The Three-Star Dou Huang holding the sharp sword was instantly shocked.

The other party had actually been able to receive his attack so easily. Clearly, the gap in strength between the two sides was enormous!

As for the two Dou Wang behind him, they had originally prepared to step in and assist, but after seeing this scene, both of them immediately stopped. Holding their weapons, they stood at a distance with wary expressions.

"Who is this person?" Lin Yucheng was greatly shocked inwardly.

In that instant just now, he had also been blinded by anger. How could someone capable of instantly interrupting Blood Dance's secret art possibly be an ordinary person?

He simply had not expected the other party's strength to still far surpass his expectations!

"This person's strength has definitely reached Nine Star Dou Huang!"

In an instant, not only Lin Yucheng, even Lin Yuheng and Lin Yuting thought this inwardly.

As for Lin Yutong, her heart stirred, and she remembered the handsome youth she had seen before the arena match began...

As she thought this, she could not help looking back in Ye Chen's direction again.

By coincidence, her gaze met his once more. Lin Yutong looked like a little girl caught doing something bad, and she abruptly turned her head away again, yet could not help glancing repeatedly in Ye Chen's direction from the corner of her eye.

Old Luo, who was behind Lin Yutong, furrowed his brow as he looked at the old man above, who was suppressing the entire arena inside and out by himself. At first, his expression was puzzled, but when he saw Ye Chen's burning gaze looking over, along with the sudden shy expression on his own Miss's face, he immediately felt as if he understood something...

"Heh heh. Though this boy's strength is not high, judging from his appearance, he should not be very old. And with such a strong person guarding him at his side, he must also have a profound background."

Old Luo looked at Ye Chen and secretly guessed the latter's possible identity.

"Right now, Miss is at a severe disadvantage in this struggle. If we can truly have such a strong person step in to help, that would be wonderful!"

Thinking to this point, Old Luo immediately bent down and whispered by Lin Yutong's ear, "Miss, this person's appearance is a great opportunity for us. If we can obtain his support, then the power in your hands will instantly be comparable to the three Young Masters, or even surpass them!"

He understood very clearly just how powerful a Nine Star Peak Dou Emperor was.

Although in the many Wind Cloud Arenas before this, most of the winners had been recruited away by the three Young Masters, the strongest among them had only been at the level of the previous Fan Qingge. A true Peak Dou Emperor would not deign to take part in this sort of contest at all. Wherever they went, they would be honored guests of those major factions.

There was no other reason!

It was only because only strong people like this had the possibility of advancing to Dou Zong!

In the Pill Domain, or even the entire Middle Continent, Dou Huang truly could not be counted among the ranks of strong people. Only Dou Zong experts could make others view them differently.

Unfortunately, Dou Zong was not so easy to break through to, and only those first-rate factions had methods to help people break through. That was why many people sharpened their heads just to squeeze into those first-rate factions.

The reason the Pill Domain Five Great Families could run rampant throughout the entire Pill Domain was, aside from having the Pill Tower at their back, largely because they possessed the High-tier Medicinal Pills that everyone yearned to obtain!
