Chapter 97

At the heart of the mountain lake, at this moment, only the human-faced dragon was continuously attacking the now precarious light barrier, its expression becoming increasingly sinister. As the light barrier weakened, it could vaguely see that the Yin-Yang flower on the small island had disappeared, which almost drove the human-faced dragon mad.

After Ye Zhong and his group had their exclusive meal, the other human powerhouses were all squinting their eyes, watching the human-faced dragon's actions. They did not make any other comments, clearly wanting to see what Ye Zhong would do if the spirit talisman array was broken.

"Stealing my Yin-Yang flower! Brat, I will tear you into pieces and swallow you bit by bit, I will make sure you die a miserable death!" The human-faced dragon kept emitting fierce roars, its voice filled with murderous intent and brutality.

"That human-faced dragon has completely gone mad," Xue Xin squinted his eyes, focusing on the increasingly violent human-faced dragon, and said with a peculiar expression.

"Master, we don't need to rush. Regardless of whether Ye Zhong has refined the Yin-Yang flower or not, the human-faced dragon will solve this small trouble for us... Even if it can't, we can still act when the time comes," Xue Si's eyes turned cold, and he said in a serious tone while looking at the direction of the island.

Xue Xin nodded, his gaze fell on Lian Kaiyu, Pang Jie, Xue Zhen, and the other powerhouses. These people all had deep expressions, making it impossible to guess their thoughts. However, if they were asked to assist Ye Zhong, it was basically impossible.

Xue Xin smiled and was about to close his eyes to wait quietly, but at this moment, his expression suddenly changed. His gaze fell on the light barrier, and he chuckled, "It seems they are finally about to come out."

"Being able to hold on for two hours, Ling Yue's skills are already very strong, but what can two hours do? It's sheer fantasy!" Xue Si also sneered and said coldly.

As the two spoke, the light barrier that had enveloped the island began to rapidly fade, visible to the naked eye.

"Finally coming out, huh?"

Seeing this, the human-faced dragon's movements paused. It stared at the island with a sinister expression, its killing aura unhidden. At the same time, the other powerhouses also squinted their eyes, watching the scene, all wanting to know how things would develop next.

"Crack—"

Finally, under the watchful eyes of countless people, the light barrier suddenly trembled slightly, and a crack appeared on its surface. With the appearance of the crack, the light barrier began to shake violently and finally disintegrated into specks of light, completely dissipating in the air.

With the disappearance of the light barrier, the five people on the small island reappeared in everyone's sight.

At this moment, Ye Zhong was still sitting cross-legged in meditation, ignoring everything outside.

Ling Yue's face was as pale as paper, clearly the spirit talisman array had consumed a lot of her energy, leaving her almost unable to fight.

Seeing this, Su Yu and the other three people moved simultaneously, their expressions grim as they protected Ling Yue and Ye Zhong behind them.

"Brat! You actually dared to refine my Yin-Yang flower? But never mind, after I crush and swallow you, the medicinal effects will be the same!" The human-faced dragon's expression turned pale, and it roared fiercely, its face becoming extremely sinister. In the next instant, its figure transformed into a streak of light, rushing out to attack.

Seeing this human-faced dragon, which had the strength of the seventh level of Body Tempering, make a powerful move, the eyes of many human powerhouses around them flickered, but they did not say much. They all squinted their eyes, watching the scene, clearly wanting to see how the other Star Constellation Sect members would resist after Ling Yue and Ye Zhong lost their fighting ability.

If they couldn't deal with the human-faced dragon, their fate would be their own. After all, from the moment they forcibly took the Yin-Yang flower, their fate was already sealed! No other powerhouses would act for them.

"Whoosh—"

Almost at the same moment the spirit talisman array broke, the human-faced dragon's figure flashed out like a ghost, and an extremely terrifying aura erupted from its body. Under the impact of this terrifying aura, many powerhouses' faces changed dramatically.

The human-faced dragon had been able to fight against many powerhouses alone before, and its strength was already beyond imagination. Now, with its anger, the momentum was breathtaking!

So at this moment, many people drew in cold breaths, waiting to see what would happen next.

"Let's attack together! We must protect Senior Sister Ling Yue and Junior Brother Ye Zhong no matter what!"

Seeing this, Su Yu's expression changed slightly. In the next instant, she waved her hand, and her blood and qi surged. Behind her, Lu Bing and Hao Feng also nodded slightly, and the three of them instantly darted out, pushing their Body Tempering techniques to the limit.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

Three attacks roared out simultaneously. Clearly, Su Yu and the others knew the terror of the human-faced dragon, so they did not hold back at all, but instead used all their trump cards.

"These three actually think they can stop the human-faced dragon with just the three of them? It's sheer fantasy, a dream of fools!"

"Just now, so many of our powerhouses attacked together and couldn't do anything to the human-faced dragon. The strength of the human-faced dragon is evident to all, these guys are too naive!"

"But they have no choice. If they retreat now, Ling Yue and that guy called Ye Zhong will have no way to fight back!"

Seeing Su Yu and the others attack without retreating, the scene was filled with murmurs. Clearly, no one expected that Su Yu and the others would not retreat in this situation but instead prepare to continue fighting to block the human-faced dragon!

These three were at most at the fifth level of Body Tempering. Even if they practiced the Star Constellation Sect's Body Tempering techniques, it was still a bit unrealistic to think they could fight against a human-faced dragon at the seventh level of Body Tempering!

"Die for me!"

The human-faced dragon growled, its sinister face showing a cruel expression. It would not show any mercy to these humans.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

In an instant, the human-faced dragon's attack and the attacks of Su Yu and the others collided violently.

However, this collision lasted only a moment, and the attacks of Su Yu and the others disintegrated at an unimaginable speed!

In just a few breaths, the three figures staggered, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Spit—"

The three figures fell to the edge of the island like broken kites, looking extremely miserable under the various gazes.

Defeated in one move!

Although this was expected by many, when it really happened, many powerhouses still drew in cold breaths.

Perhaps, after these Star Constellation Sect members were all dead, they would also have to deal with the human-faced dragon! Otherwise, with this guy always watching, even if they entered the Hongya Cave, everyone would be uneasy.

"A bunch of trash, daring to block me?"

The human-faced dragon sneered, completely ignoring the three who had retreated, spitting blood. It stared at Ye Zhong, who was still in meditation, and prepared to pounce.

However, at this critical moment, a dark light suddenly surged from Ye Zhong's body, and a sound like popping beans echoed. With each sound, Ye Zhong's aura grew stronger. By the time the series of sounds ended, Ye Zhong's aura had become extremely powerful!

"What!?"

At this moment, countless gazes fell on Ye Zhong, and everyone's eyes twitched.

Everyone was at the ninth level of Body Tempering, so the current scene made many realize that at this critical moment, Ye Zhong had successfully advanced to the sixth level of Body Tempering, the Bone Tempering stage!?

"This Ye Zhong... is too terrifying?"

"At such a young age, to reach the sixth level of Body Tempering, he is truly a young genius!"

"When did the Star Constellation Sect produce such a terrifying figure! It's simply beyond imagination!"

"How is this possible!?"

"..."

"Whoosh—"

In the midst of countless incredulous gazes, Ye Zhong, who had been sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes. His gaze fell on the injured Su Yu and the others, and a faint trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Senior Sister Su Yu, you three protect Senior Sister Ling Yue. The rest is up to me."

Slowly standing up, a faint killing aura spread from Ye Zhong's body, and all of it surged toward the human-faced dragon, clearly showing that Ye Zhong had no intention of holding back.

Under the gaze of Ye Zhong, who was filled with killing intent, the human-faced dragon, which was slightly surprised, sneered and slightly clenched its claws, its expression becoming even more sinister.

"Just refined the Yin-Yang flower and successfully entered the sixth level of Body Tempering, you are truly excellent flesh and medicinal treasure!"

"If I swallow you alive, my strength will probably advance further, right?"

The human-faced dragon took a step forward, its expression becoming extremely cruel at this moment...

"That depends on whether you have the ability." Facing the human-faced dragon's sneer, Ye Zhong was too lazy to say more. He just extended his right hand and slightly bent it.
