Chapter 95

"Listen, this is a human-faced dragon..."

Ye Chong raised his head, his expression solemn as he gazed at the humanoid beast that had appeared on the lake surface. Although its body was human-like and it had a human face, its exposed palms were covered with layers of translucent scales that kept wriggling. A shocking aura continuously spread from its body, unreservedly.

Its mouth slightly opened, and a forked tongue occasionally darted out, giving people a bone-chilling feeling.

"Hehe, such a treasure of heaven and earth naturally belongs to the virtuous. Since we appeared here just as the Yin-Yang flower bloomed, it means that this thing has a connection with someone in this place. You, a mere human-faced dragon, calling yourself the king, aren't you afraid of the wind blowing your tongue off?" As many of the strong were contemplating retreat, Xue Xin suddenly sneered and spoke softly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although our main goal is to enter the Hongya Cave, we can't return empty-handed from a treasure mountain, can we? Moreover, if we enter the Hongya Cave to seek treasures, but a human-faced dragon blocks the entrance, even if we obtain something inside, can you take it away?" Xue Xin scanned the crowd and then said with a half-smile.

Clearly, he was also extremely interested in the Yin-Yang flower, but he didn't want to reveal too much of his strength, so he was inciting the other strong to act.

Hearing Xue Xin's words, many of the strong around the lake exchanged glances and nodded slightly. Regardless of what Xue Xin was thinking, one thing was right: if they didn't deal with the human-faced dragon, even if they entered the Hongya Cave to seize treasures, few would be able to do so with peace of mind.

"Let's join forces. I'm not interested in the Yin-Yang flower, but the demon core of this human-faced dragon should be a good thing." Pang Jie of the Black Demon Sect, standing in another direction, played with a dagger in his hand and spoke coldly.

"Heh, since Brother Pang has spoken, we can't sit idly by, can we?" The four generals of the Blood Array from the Battle King Mansion also sneered, and the leader said with a sinister tone.

"Enough talk, let's act directly."

Lian Kaiyu of the Beast King Sect grinned, and in the next moment, he was the first to dart forward. He gripped a black longsword, and with a swift motion, a blade of light slashed directly towards the human-faced dragon.

"Boom—"

The blade of light flashed and struck the human-faced dragon. Before it could react, its robe was instantly torn apart, revealing a body covered with scales, looking extremely strange.

"You are courting death!"

Lian Kaiyu's attack broke the deadlock. The human-faced dragon didn't expect that these humans, who were like ants, would dare to attack it. In an instant, it swiped its hand, and a green light spewed from its palm.

"Boom—"

Lian Kaiyu's blade shattered the green light. Then, the green light transformed into droplets that fell backward. Some of the strong who were standing closer were instantly reduced to white bones with a shrill scream.

Clearly, the green light contained an unimaginably potent poison.

"Attack!"

However, the fall of those strong did not make the others retreat. Instead, their eyes turned blood red, and many of them became even more convinced that, regardless of whether they wanted the Yin-Yang flower, the first thing to do to enter the Hongya Cave and seize treasures was to deal with the human-faced dragon.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

In just a breath, the air was filled with the sound of breaking wind, and many strong figures darted out, rushing towards the human-faced dragon.

In an instant, ripples spread across the lake, and figures stepped on the water, charging forward.

"We will also act, but our goal is different from the others. We will do our best to seize the Yin-Yang flower." Ye Chong watched the scene, his eyes flickering for a moment before he spoke softly. No matter how you looked at it, this was the most chaotic moment, and if he wanted to seize the Yin-Yang flower, there was no better time than now.

"Wait for the opportunity, Junior Brother Ye Chong, and you will do your best to seize the Yin-Yang flower. We will try to hold the others back." Ling Yue nodded slightly.

"Let's go!"

Ye Chong nodded. The situation was extremely chaotic, and although they had a brief discussion, they could only take one step at a time. Without further ado, Ye Chong moved, being the first to dart out over the water.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

Five Asura Sword Seals overlapped at the peak of his fist, and Ye Chong instantly arrived beside the human-faced dragon, then punched out fiercely.

"Bang—"

A huge counterforce instantly came, forcing Ye Chong to retreat several steps, while the human-faced dragon let out a wild roar. Although it had the strength of the seventh level of Body Forging, it was temporarily overwhelmed by the many strong.

However, even at a disadvantage, the human-faced dragon did not retreat. As it blocked some terrifying attacks, green light circles spread from its body. If one accidentally touched these circles, even a strong at the fifth level of Body Forging would scream and fall into the lake, their flesh completely corroded.

"Plunk, plunk—"

As the intense battle continued, figures kept falling into the lake. Although the human-faced dragon was being attacked, it gradually overcame the disadvantage and was about to gain the upper hand.

"This can't go on—"

Ye Chong struck another blow, but this time he quietly retreated, landing near the Yin-Yang flower, his gaze becoming somewhat strange.

During the attack on the human-faced dragon, some strong also tried to seize the Yin-Yang flower, but it seemed to be rooted on the island. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't obtain it, so they had to leave in frustration.

Ye Chong understood that the human-faced dragon had likely placed some kind of restriction on the Yin-Yang flower, making it impossible to take it easily. In the current chaotic situation, there was no time to study the restriction.

However, the Yin-Yang flower didn't necessarily need to be taken away. If it could be refined on the spot, that would also be a good method.

With this thought, Ye Chong's eyes became somewhat strange. In the next moment, he moved and arrived beside Ling Yue, speaking solemnly, "Senior Sister Ling Yue, can you temporarily set up a spirit talisman array to cover the island, ensuring that others cannot enter?"

"You want to refine the Yin-Yang flower directly?" Ling Yue was slightly taken aback, her eyes showing a strange expression. This junior brother's actions were truly unexpected.

"If you really want to do this, I will do my best to buy you two hours, but are you sure about this?" Ling Yue asked hesitantly, clearly knowing that this would undoubtedly provoke the anger of many.

"I don't want to do this, but there's no time to waste. If we delay, the Yin-Yang flower might disappear." Ye Chong smiled bitterly.

"Alright, let's act!"

Ling Yue was a decisive person. Seeing Ye Chong's determination, she didn't try to dissuade him further. She waved her hand, and Su Yu and others quickly gathered. Then, the five of them swiftly headed towards the island.

"If the Yin-Yang flower were so easy to take, would it be your turn?" Xue Xin and others naturally noticed Ye Chong's actions but didn't stop them, clearly hoping that Ye Chong would take the Yin-Yang flower, as no one had successfully taken it so far.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

Under the watchful eyes of many, Ye Chong and his group quickly landed on the island. However, they didn't rush to attack the Yin-Yang flower but looked at Ling Yue.

"Buy me some time."

Ling Yue didn't waste words. She threw a stack of spirit talismans and sat cross-legged. The talismans began to move rapidly in the air, forming an array.

"Damn! You actually want to refine the Yin-Yang flower on the island, you are courting death!"

The human-faced dragon, which had been fighting other strong, suddenly roared, its voice filled with rage. Clearly, it saw through Ye Chong's intentions.

"What!?"

Hearing this, the human strong exchanged glances, their eyes becoming somewhat strange. They didn't expect that Ye Chong and his group didn't want to take the Yin-Yang flower but intended to refine it on the spot, and they were clearly setting up a spirit talisman array.

"Attack, we can't let those guys succeed!" Xue Xin was the first to react. Although he thought that refining the Yin-Yang flower on the spot was a joke, he had a feeling of unease, making his eyes turn cold as he shouted.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

After a brief hesitation, some of the strong dispersed and rushed towards the island. The human-faced dragon, now like a madman, tore through a large number of figures and charged forward wildly...
