Chapter 145: Chapter 145: So What If He’s an Ancient King?
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Amidst the discussions of all present, the battle continued in the void above.
The terrifying Holy Power enveloped the entire sky, like a hundred thousand mountains pressing downward, causing everyone in the city to breathe heavily.
Ji Chen swung his fist, using the Emperor Scripture for protection, fiercely resisting the Crown Prince’s attacks.
He had retreated and charged forward repeatedly, and now, his white clothes were already stained red with blood.
Ji Chen’s injuries were severe, but the Hongmeng Body possessed immense self-healing abilities, allowing him to quickly recover from his wounds.
This self-healing ability could truly be called unrivaled under heaven.
Previously, when Ji Chen had died in the Forbidden Mountain for nearly a year, he managed to survive and regenerate his body, showing the incredible recovery power of the Hongmeng Body.
"Bang!"
By now, their battle had reached an intense stage.
The Crown Prince, initially dominant, had gradually come to a stalemate with Ji Chen, with both sides evenly matched.
As Ji Chen had said, continuously using the Ancestral King’s Weapon was undoubtedly a significant drain on the Crown Prince.
After prolonged combat, unable to quickly defeat Ji Chen, it became a disadvantage for the Crown Prince.
By now, he was almost out of strength to wield the Holy Halberd in his hand, and facing Ji Chen’s relentless assault, the Crown Prince could only defend himself.
"Bang!"
Finally, Ji Chen’s punch exploded with power, sending the Crown Prince flying hundreds of feet away, the terrifying Fist Seal striking like a mountain.
He felt his arm go numb, the Holy Weapon in his hand trembling slightly.
"Kill!"
Ji Chen clearly recognized this opportunity, pursuing relentlessly, charging at the Crown Prince.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Punch after punch, the entire void was set ablaze.
Unable to withstand Ji Chen’s aggressive onslaught, the Crown Prince finally coughed up blood.
"Did I see that wrong?"
"Is the Crown Prince really at a disadvantage?!"
"That’s an Ancestral King’s Weapon! And he’s losing despite such an enormous cultivation gap!"
None could restrain their shock, for the battle’s outcome was now becoming clear.
If nothing unexpected occurred, this duel would surely end with the Crown Prince’s defeat.
No one anticipated such a conclusion beforehand.
"Bang!"
Ji Chen’s incessant punches, backed by the formidable Hongmeng Body, posed a threat to even Void Realm experts, let alone Celestial Essence Realm Cultivators.
Under Ji Chen’s relentless attacks, the Crown Prince was repeatedly sent flying, spitting blood unceasingly.
"Zing!"
Finally, he lost grip of the Holy Halberd, unable to hold it any longer, as Ji Chen’s punch knocked it away, sending it crashing towards the mountains outside the city.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion erupted, as if the entire earth trembled at that moment.
The Crown Prince’s Holy Halberd fell, crushing an entire mountain outside the city, also leaving a massive crack across the ground, stretching for several miles.
"Kill!"
Seeing the Crown Prince’s Holy Weapon slip away, Ji Chen seized the opportunity, a vicious glint in his eyes, charging swiftly at his opponent.
Behind him, the endless Power of the Stars descended, the Nine Spirit Veins continuously pouring out Spiritual Power, all converging into his punch, striking furiously at the Crown Prince.
"Not good!"
This scene immediately caused the Ancient Race cultivators in the city to frown.
Given the Crown Prince’s current state, being approached urgently by the Hongmeng Body, this punch was enough to threaten his life!
"You came to Beiyou to slay me, did you consider that this would be the eventual result?"
Ji Chen sneered coldly, murder in his eyes, evidently unwilling to allow the Crown Prince to live, preventing future threats.
Resentment had been forged, such a formidable enemy, if not eradicated today, would be a massive hidden danger in the future.
"Boom boom boom..."
Terrifying Fist Seals descended, mixed with the power of two Emperor Scriptures, causing the entire void to tremble.
This was Ji Chen’s all-out strike, not intending to leave the Crown Prince any chance of survival.
"Stop!"
At this critical juncture, a furious shout suddenly echoed from the city.
"Boom!"
The next instant, Ji Chen’s fist light collapsed instantly, unable to fully strike the Crown Prince.
"Huh?"
This scene made Ji Chen frown, his gaze turning to a location in the sky.
Then, the void suddenly fluctuated violently, and a middle-aged man materialized, an overwhelming aura enveloping the entire realm.
The middle-aged man stood with hands behind his back, surrounded by a purple mist, his true visage obscured.
"Ancient King!"
The faces of many in Yao City changed drastically, sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the middle-aged man, undoubtedly an expert of Ancient King level!
"Arrogant youngster of the Human Race, dare you lay a hand on a Crown Prince of the Ancient Race?"
This Ancient King-level expert did not reveal his true appearance, and was likely not of the Demon Race, but from some Ancient Race.
He had been lurking in Yao City for a long time, witnessing the battle, and seeing the Crown Prince in mortal danger, he finally intervened.
Clearly, any Crown Prince was of immeasurable value to the Ancient Race, not tolerating any mishap.
During the Ancient Times, the Demon Race had an Immortal Demon Emperor who dominated the world, ruling over myriad races. Consequently, many Ancient Races pledged allegiance to the Demon Race; their ancestors followed that Demon Emperor. Even now, these races still regard the Demon Race with esteem.
Now appearing, this Ancient King belonged to one of those races that supported the Demon Emperor in the past, hence even less likely to stand by as the Crown Prince was slain here.
"He tried to kill me; he couldn’t. Why can’t I kill him?"
Ji Chen stood in mid-air, meeting the gaze of the Ancient King in the sky, his face unmarked by fear.
"Buzz!"
As his words fell, the Ancient King let out a cold snort, a remarkable aura pressing down on Ji Chen, "Attempting to kill a Crown Prince, unspeakably evil, today you shall not leave, stay here."
The terrifying aura pressed down, causing Ji Chen’s face to change drastically; he circulated the two Emperor Scriptures to shield his body, feeling slightly more relieved.
"What of the Ancient King?"
He snorted coldly, "Today, if I choose to leave, no one can stop me."
