Chapter 850: Zhao Yuqing Takes Action!
"Based on you, you don't have the qualification to stop me. Let Jian Wuheng come!"
Li Chen stood with his hands behind his back, speaking very casually. It seemed he didn't even regard the second Heavenly Pride of Heavenly Sword Mountain as worthy of attention.
As Heaven's Chosen Son, Ye Xing had never been humiliated like this before. He instantly became furious, his eyes nearly spewing fire.
"Li Chen, you're courting death!"
The word "death" had not fully been spoken when Ye Xing's True Yuan surged like the raging Yellow River, suddenly intensifying several times.
Li Chen's eyebrows raised slightly, and he laughed indifferently, "Not bad, interesting!"
"Draw your sword!"
Suppressing his anger, Ye Xing, like a Killing God overlooking the world, shouted angrily.
However, Li Chen shook his head and said, "To deal with you, I don't need a sword; just one hand is enough!"
"Damn!"
Ye Xing was completely infuriated, drawing his sword in reverse, with silver arcs dancing around the blade, slicing through the sky like an unparalleled electric silver serpent.
"Crack!"
The silver serpent formed by Sword Intent instantly tore through the void, opening its bloody maw to attack Li Chen fiercely.
Li Chen stood with his hands behind his back, unmoving as a mountain, his eyes slightly narrowed, observing the opponent with great interest.
Among his peers, the opponent might be considered a top elite. But in Li Chen's eyes, he was still merely an ant.
At most, this ant was just a bit stronger.
However, no matter how strong an ant is, it remains an ant, unable to compete with the Jiao Long in the sky.
"Alright then, since you dare to block my path, better prepare to roll down and repent!"
As he spoke, Li Chen's left hand slowly raised, forming a Thunder Light Ball, crackling with electric sounds.
"Moonlight Slash!"
Just as Li Chen was about to strike, a familiar tender voice came from the side.
Instantly, a Sword Rainbow appeared, like Bai Hong piercing the day, like a comet attacking the moon, slashing through the void, positioned between Li Chen and Ye Xing.
"Clang!"
The two swords collided in mid-air, the violent True Yuan surged out like stones thrown into water.
The Sword Rainbow performed a three-hundred-sixty-degree spin in mid-air and landed into a fair, jade-like hand.
For a moment, countless gazes were drawn in unison.
A beautiful figure appeared, stepping on lotuses, suspended in the air.
Her face was stunning, eyes bright as water, wearing an ice-blue waist-length gown, wielding a shimmering Immortal Sword. From afar, she looked like a fairy untouched by the Human World.
"Zhao Yuqing from the Moon God Palace?"
Ye Xing's pupils contracted suddenly; he recognized the visitor's identity and exclaimed in astonishment.
Though Zhao Yuqing came from the Mortal World, she was an Innate Spiritual Body. Upon entering the Moon God Palace, she flourished swiftly, ascending to the ranks of top Heavenly Pride in just two to three years.
Therefore, her name had already spread among the upper elite circles.
Recently, Ye Xing had met Zhao Yuqing and was astounded by her presence.
Moreover, Jian Wuheng was ambitious, and Ye Xing was no less ambitious. But due to the current situation, he had to humble himself.
Ye Xing originally planned to secure a place in the top ten after the Immortal Sect Martial Arts Competition and then have his master personally visit Moon God Palace to propose marriage, aligning the two families.
By then, with the Moon God Palace's support, he would have the capital to compete against Jian Wuheng, even potentially contesting for the Sect Leader position.
In fact, his intent to aid Jian Wuheng in dealing with Li Chen was to let Jian Wuheng battle the Heavenly Girl Dancer, Dugu Ming, Monk Wuhua, and other top Heavenly Prides, so when both sides were severely injured, he could seize the opportunity for gain.
Initially, everything progressed smoothly and was within his expectations.
But unexpectedly, Zhao Yuqing suddenly intervened, instantly disrupting all his plans.
Ye Xing's pupils contracted sharply, and he inquired with a focused voice, "Fairy Qing, you and I have no personal grievances. Our Heavenly Sword Mountain and your Moon God Palace have always coexisted harmoniously. Your sudden intervention, is it your intention or the Moon God Palace's?"
This question was meant to test deeper intentions, elevating the contest between individuals to a dispute between two Great Sects.
Though the Moon God Palace is one of the Ten Great Heavenly Sects, compared to the rising Heavenly Sword Mountain, which seems poised to replace Penglai Pavilion as the new overlord of the Cultivation Realm, it's slightly lacking.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, even the Palace Master of Moon God Palace would not easily offend people from Heavenly Sword Mountain.
Zhao Yuqing shook her head and gently said, "This matter is unrelated to Moon God Palace. It's purely my personal vendetta!"
Upon hearing "personal vendetta," everyone on site was momentarily taken aback.
Ye Xing followed Zhao Yuqing's gaze, landing on Li Chen, instantly shocked by a deep sense of ominous foreboding looming over his head.
As expected, Zhao Yuqing raised her fair hand, pointed to Li Chen, and said, "He is my husband!"
"He is my husband," those five words struck everyone like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.
Ye Xing's body trembled, nearly falling.
"Damn, impressive!" A group of Loose Cultivators were so shocked their eyes nearly popped out.
With a breathtaking beauty Lian Hongshang at his side, and pleasant interactions with the treasure of the Cloud Sea Sect, Ling Shuanghua, now the newly acclaimed Fairy Qing from Moon God Palace openly claiming Li Chen as her husband, it's simply enviable.
The disparity between individuals, even among men and Loose Cultivators, couldn't be more extreme.
In the midst of fighting, Lian Hongshang and Ling Shuanghua saw Zhao Yuqing suddenly intervene to claim the man, and they gritted their teeth in frustration.
They both exchanged glances, immediately made peace, and switched from adversaries to united sisters in condemning the rogue Li Chen.
Even Li Chen didn't expect Zhao Yuqing to intervene unexpectedly. Her appearance surprised him.
"Yuqing, this is a matter between men. You shouldn't intervene!"
Yet Zhao Yuqing, who usually obeyed Li Chen's requests, showed surprising defiance this time.
She stubbornly shook her head, her dimples swirling, and said, "Brother Li Chen, you've always protected Yuqing, shielding me from storms. Today, Yuqing will do something for you, alright?"
As she spoke, though she used a questioning tone, the stubbornness in her words was something even Li Chen couldn't change.
"Alright, this guy is tough to deal with, be careful yourself!"
Seeing Li Chen agree, Zhao Yuqing smiled like a child, nodding repeatedly like a chick pecking corn.
Immediately, her ice-blue figure spun in mid-air, emitting cold air that froze humidity in the surrounding void, falling like frost.
She gazed at Ye Xing ahead, saluted him with her sword, "Zhao Yuqing of the Moon God Palace requests your guidance!"
"Fine, fine, fine, since that's the case, don't blame me Ye for being merciless!"
Ye Xing was so angry his lungs were about to burst. At this moment, he finally understood Jian Wuheng's feeling, as if being cut by a knife.
"Moonlight Slash!"
Facing the aggressive Ye Xing, Zhao Yuqing calmly and steadily displayed the "Moonlight Slash" divine skill again.
Moonlight Slash has three levels. Before joining the Moon God Palace, she had only trained the first level to small success.
Now, after three years of constant enlightenment and training, she had perfected Moonlight Slash to the pinnacle, transforming it endlessly as she wished.
