Chapter 99

"Find death, you find death!"

After the initial shock, Xue Xin and the others all wore mocking expressions. Although Ye Zhong had not shown any intention of retreating, such behavior seemed naive and ignorant to them! Attempting to stop a chariot with bare hands was simply courting death!

"Red Sky Star Formation Finger ——"

Without paying attention to the others' thoughts, the moment the prehistoric dragon elephant stepped out into the air, Ye Zhong pointed again. Instantly, a crimson star streaked out from the depths of the starry sky, merging with the prehistoric dragon elephant in a flash, transforming into a crimson light that shot out.

"Boom ——"

Under the gazes of countless people with various expressions, the crimson light shot out and collided fiercely with the demon slash of the human-faced dragon.

"Crack ——"

The two extremely terrifying attacks collided, but there was no loud noise. However, at the moment of impact, under the shocked and stunned gazes of countless people, the seemingly formidable demon slash of the human-faced dragon trembled slightly, and countless cracks appeared on the dragon's shadow. Finally, under the incredulous gaze of the human-faced dragon, it completely collapsed!

This? How is this possible!?

A mere Ye Zhong, merely at the sixth level of Body Tempering, how could the power of the spirit technique he used be so devastating?

"Pfft ——"

Before the surrounding people could finish their shock, the human-faced dragon's powerful attack was broken, and its body trembled slightly, its face turning pale. It finally couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood. Its originally terrifying aura had now weakened to the extreme, clearly suffering significant internal injuries.

"Intermediate-grade spirit technique! It must be an intermediate-grade spirit technique..."

The human-faced dragon spat out large amounts of green blood, its eyes twitching. Even the spirit technique it had comprehended from its clan's innate abilities was only a low-grade spirit technique! And the young man in front of him had used an intermediate-grade spirit technique?

Moreover, the human-faced dragon vaguely guessed that Ye Zhong's strength was not just in this intermediate-grade spirit technique. The Body Tempering spirit technique he practiced was also extremely terrifying, at least reaching the spirit grade!

"How is this possible? How could this boy have such good fortune to practice such a spirit technique?" The human-faced dragon roared in its heart, filled with resentment. Spirit-grade spirit techniques were extremely rare, but Ye Zhong seemed to have at least two, while it, the human-faced dragon, which called itself a king, only mastered one spirit-grade spirit technique. This disparity made the human-faced dragon almost go mad with jealousy.

"If I could obtain the spirit technique this boy practices ——"

The resentment in its heart now turned into venom. The human-faced dragon's gaze on Ye Zhong was filled with a strange flavor. If it had only wanted to swallow Ye Zhong whole before, now it wanted to extract his soul and wash his marrow, taking all the spirit techniques in his mind!

"Hmph ——"

However, as the human-faced dragon was filled with venomous thoughts, Ye Zhong nearby sneered, his eyes filled with killing intent. From the human-faced dragon, he could sense boundless killing intent, and with Ye Zhong's nature, once he acted, he wouldn't hold back.

In the next moment, Ye Zhong's mind moved, and another prehistoric dragon elephant stepped out from the starry sky behind him, transforming into the most formidable attack, striking the human-faced dragon like lightning.

"Boom ——"

The moment the intense pressure and killing intent approached, the human-faced dragon's face changed drastically. At this moment, it truly had no other means to resist Ye Zhong. Immediately, it retreated rapidly, its voice cold and sinister: "Boy, you're clever today, but we'll meet again in Hongya Cave! The next time we meet, I'll make sure you have no place to bury your body!"

"There won't be a next time. Today, you'll stay at the bottom of this lake!"

Ye Zhong's eyes were icy cold, his voice filled with unmasked killing intent. The human-faced dragon was definitely not an ordinary existence. If it weren't for his recent advancement to the sixth level of Body Tempering, he would have been the one to die! Moreover, such an opponent must not be left alive, or it would become a huge trouble at some point. Ye Zhong didn't like letting tigers back into the mountains.

As Ye Zhong's icy voice echoed, a crimson star streaked out from the depths of the starry sky again, merging with the prehistoric dragon elephant, transforming into a crimson light that mercilessly struck the human-faced dragon.

"Dragon Spirit Shield!"

At the moment the terrifying attack approached, the human-faced dragon's blood seemed to freeze, a strong sense of death instantly filling its heart. Its eyes narrowed, and an extremely fierce voice rang out almost simultaneously.

A green light circle instantly appeared like a turtle shell, covering Ye Zhong's body, forming the strongest protection, enveloping his entire body.

"Shh ——"

However, the moment the crimson light approached, the green light circle melted like butter on a hot iron, and in the human-faced dragon's shocked gaze, it directly broke through this protective spirit technique.

"Die ——"

Ye Zhong's eyes were icy cold, his voice like a thunderclap.

As Ye Zhong's voice fell, the crimson light struck the human-faced dragon heavily, giving it no chance to react.

"Thud ——"

A very low sound came from the human-faced dragon's body, and then its body fell like a meteor, finally landing heavily on the lake surface. A thousand waves rose, and the entire lake surface seemed to be instantly torn open. The human-faced dragon's body then fell heavily into the center of the lake, its bones cracking, and green blood continuously flowing from its body. Clearly, after taking this hit from Ye Zhong, the human-faced dragon's body was on the verge of collapse.

The entire scene was silent.

Many strong people's eyes twitched. The strength of the human-faced dragon was almost known to everyone present, but such a strong opponent was completely disabled by Ye Zhong in one move. Ye Zhong's means were truly too terrifying!

Thinking of this, many people couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and their gazes on Ye Zhong were now filled with deep wariness.

After all, so many people had joined forces and still couldn't deal with the human-faced dragon—

This Ye Zhong, who was not well-known in the Star Formation Sect, turned out to be so terrifying!

Xue Xin's face became extremely strange, his eyes filled with deep wariness as he stared at Ye Zhong. Behind him, Xue Si's pupils contracted, and his face no longer had the previous calm expression.

The four generals of the Blood Formation, not far away, all had strange expressions in their eyes. They, as people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had heard of Ye Zhong's reputation as a waste. After all, it was the greatest disgrace of the Ye family in the past thousand years!

However, the strength this so-called waste of the Ye family showed today had reached a level that made them feel shocked. They would need to reconsider the Ye family's strength and influence!

Pang Jie's pupils were as narrow as needles as he stared at Ye Zhong. He had never underestimated Ye Zhong, after all, he had suffered a significant loss at Ye Zhong's hands in the先天圣殿 (先天圣殿 translates to "先天" meaning "innate" and "圣殿" meaning "sacred hall," but it is a proper noun and should be left as is). However, today's Ye Zhong was not just several times stronger than before; it was probably more than ten times stronger!

In just a few months, this Ye Zhong had become so terrifying? At this moment, Pang Jie had already labeled Ye Zhong as someone who must not be provoked.

Ling Yue and the others also stared in shock at the scene. Although they had some confidence in Ye Zhong, they never expected that after advancing to the sixth level of Body Tempering, he could be so formidable!

With him here, they shouldn't suffer any major losses on this trip!

In the center of the scene, Ye Zhong coldly watched the human-faced dragon, which was spitting out large amounts of green blood at the bottom of the lake. In the next moment, he waved his hand, and the Void Sword reappeared. His gaze on the human-faced dragon was filled with unmasked killing intent.

"No, don't kill this king, this king..."

"Pfft ——"

The human-faced dragon's face showed shock, and it almost instantly guessed Ye Zhong's intentions. Before it could finish speaking, the Void Sword in Ye Zhong's hand flew out, and under the gazes of countless people, it pierced through the human-faced dragon's heart.

The human-faced dragon's face was filled with disbelief. It never imagined that after dominating this region for years, it would fall to a mere junior today.

The many strong people around, seeing Ye Zhong's decisive and ruthless means, all felt a chill from their feet to their heads. Such a person, if possible, should not be provoked!

Ye Zhong coldly watched the human-faced dragon as its life faded away. Then he waved his hand, and the Void Sword turned inside the human-faced dragon's body, carrying a green demon core, which returned to his hand under the strange gazes of countless people.

He lightly tossed the demon core in his hand and casually threw it to Ling Yue, saying indifferently, "Senior Ling Yue, according to this guy, our Star Formation Sect's disciples should have fallen to it. Now that we've dealt with it, our mission is considered complete, right?"

"Indeed, it is considered complete." Ling Yue held the demon core, her expression complex, but after a moment, she put it away.

"Good, because next ——" Ye Zhong's gaze shifted, landing on Xue Xin and his group, his eyes faintly revealing killing intent...
