Supreme Lord of Towers

Crackle, crackle, crackle.

Above the White Jade Battle Platform, streaks of purple lightning continuously burst out from the Thunder Fox’s body, colliding with the air and producing a sound akin to birds chirping.

Its speed was incredibly fast, covering dozens of feet in the blink of an eye and appearing right in front of Ye Chen.

”So fast!”

”Is this the Thunder Fox Bloodline? It’s unbelievably fast.” Many cultivators below the platform gasped, their expressions deeply shocked.

Although they’d heard that the Xiao Family’s Thunder Fox Bloodline was famous for its speed, they never imagined it could be this fast.

Even experts at the Half-Step Gang Qi Realm probably couldn’t keep up with this speed.

With a loud bang.

At that moment, the Thunder Fox’s massive tail suddenly lashed out like a Thunder Divine Whip towards Ye Chen, causing even the air to explode as it passed.

The power of this strike was terrifying, and even Ye Chen felt a significant threat.

Even though he cultivated the Human Emperor Body, with a physical defense comparable to a Tier One Demon Beast,

if he were carelessly hit by this tail, he would also suffer severe damage.

”Spiritual Ape Step.” In this life-or-death moment, Ye Chen’s body transformed into a Spiritual Ape, leaving a phantom behind as he narrowly dodged the Thunder Fox’s attack.

”Hmm? He actually dodged it.” Xiao Lan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, a trace of surprise flickering in her eyes.

After all, her Thunder Fox Bloodline was renowned for its speed.

Even if Ye Chen had cultivated the Yellow Level Lower Grade Martial Arts, ”Spiritual Ape Step,” to the Perfection Realm, it should have been difficult to avoid her attack.

But Ye Chen’s speed was much faster than she had anticipated.

It was truly baffling.

In fact, the reason Ye Chen was so fast was because he had cultivated the Human Emperor Body. Without it, he indeed would have struggled to avoid Xiao Lan’s attacks.

This was also his disadvantage from not having awakened a bloodline; he could only compensate in other ways.

”Spiritual Ape Step” is merely a Yellow Level Lower Grade Martial Arts; its speed isn’t fast enough. I must find a way to cultivate even stronger martial arts to improve my speed.” As Ye Chen rapidly retreated, he thought to himself.

”Ye Chen, let’s see how long you can keep dodging like this?” Xiao Lan couldn’t help but smirk coldly, looking at Ye Chen as if he were a defeated dog.

In her view, even if Ye Chen could match her speed, so what?

His attack power was not on her level at all. A single hit from her would be enough to defeat him.

And the longer he defended, the more mistakes he’d make; she didn’t believe Ye Chen could keep evading forever.

”Profound Gold Sword Technique.” Suddenly, Ye Chen formed a Sword Seal with his hands, and the True Qi around his body instantly condensed into a golden sword aura, two feet long, exuding an incredibly sharp aura as it slashed towards the Thunder Fox’s head.

”Overestimating yourself.” Xiao Lan looked extremely disdainful, casually manipulating the five claws of the Thunder Fox to grab at the golden sword aura.

With a crash.

The next moment, the golden sword aura was easily caught by the Thunder Fox’s claws, bearing huge cracks before shattering in mid-air.

This was the power of the Thunder Fox Bloodline.

Even the ”Profound Gold Sword Technique” at Perfection Realm was as fragile as tofu in its presence, completely unable to withstand a strike.

”My god! Such terrifying power.”

”The gap between Ye Chen and Xiao Lan is too wide, how can he fight like this?” Many cultivators exclaimed, eyes full of apprehension.

”If I were him, I would definitely concede immediately to avoid humiliating myself. Unfortunately, this guy lacks any self-awareness, truly overestimating himself.” The younger generation of the Xiao Family looked on with mocking eyes.

They couldn’t understand why Ye Chen would continue to humiliate himself knowing the obvious disparity between him and Xiao Lan!

Such a person is truly foolish.

”It’s useless, Ye Chen, your proud swordsmanship is nothing but a joke before my Thunder Fox Bloodline.” Xiao Lan raised her head proudly, shaking it at Ye Chen, as if she were watching a clown.

Whoosh.

In the next instant, she once again propelled the Thunder Fox, turning into a streak of purple lightning, rushing rapidly towards Ye Chen.

And Ye Chen could only use ”Spiritual Ape Step,” maximizing his speed to continuously dodge Xiao Lan’s attack.

For a while, all over the White Jade Battle Platform, there were phantoms left by Ye Chen and the Thunder Fox as they moved.

Many weaker cultivators couldn’t even discern where their true bodies were.

With a muffled sound.

After dozens of breaths, the Thunder Fox’s sharp claws suddenly grazed past Ye Chen, tearing through his Protective True Qi, almost injuring him.

However, Ye Chen’s reflexes were extremely quick, swiftly dodging to the left, narrowly avoiding that attack.

”That was close; Ye Chen was almost hit by Xiao Lan just now.”

”It seems he’s at the end of his strength; to contend with Xiao Lan for this long is something to be proud of.” In the Talent Hall, many middle-aged cultivators couldn’t help but shake their heads.

As they say, ’defense wears out.’

Ye Chen had been evading Xiao Lan’s attacks from the beginning until now but hadn’t managed to counterattack at all.

At this rate, his defeat by Xiao Lan was only a matter of time.

”Ye Chen, do you plan to keep evading like a stray dog? Is realizing reality really that difficult?” Xiao Lan stared at Ye Chen with indifference, finding him utterly ridiculous.

His strength was obviously far inferior to hers, yet he refused to accept reality.

This kind of person is truly pathetic.

But Xiao Lan certainly wouldn’t have any sympathy for Ye Chen.

Since he persisted in being delusional, she would have to crush him beneath her feet to make him fully awaken.

Whoosh.

In a flash, Xiao Lan maneuvered the Thunder Fox to appear above Ye Chen’s head, slashing down at him with its five sharp claws.

”Do you really think you’ve already won?” To everyone’s surprise, Ye Chen not only didn’t dodge this time but began forming a Sword Seal with his hands, brilliant rays of light radiating from his fingertips.

”Foolish thing, at this moment you’re still delusional, truly pathetic. Very well, be defeated now.” Xiao Lan’s lips curled into a cruel smile, as if she could already see Ye Chen crushed underfoot.

”Five Elements Sword Technique.” At this moment, the True Qi around Ye Chen suddenly condensed into five fierce sword lights.

Then, the five sword lights instantly intertwined, forming a three-foot-long Five-Colored Divine Sword, exuding an exceptionally terrifying aura, as if it could cut down all things in the world.

At this moment, Ye Chen finally unleashed his most formidable trump card: the ”Five Elements Sword Technique.”

In fact, he had been waiting for this opportunity from the start.

The reason he had intentionally dodged Xiao Lan’s attacks was to make her gradually lower her guard.

Now, Xiao Lan indeed fell for his strategy, becoming careless.

So naturally, Ye Chen wouldn’t miss this golden opportunity.

He decisively unleashed the ”Five Elements Sword Technique,” slashing fiercely at the Thunder Fox still suspended mid-air.

”What? Could this be the Ye Family’s legendary martial arts, the ’Five Elements Sword Technique’? Oh no, I was too careless.” Xiao Lan’s pupils suddenly contracted, her face turning extremely grim, her body trembling violently.

At this moment, she could sense a massive threat from the Five-Colored Sword Aura.

If she were actually hit, the consequences would be unthinkable.
