Chapter 825: Audacious Challenge

Although he did not know why she was always helping him, it was no longer important.
Now, he had the strength to repay the kindness he had received from her in the past.
Daoist Nanming knew that Ji Siqing would say this. He reached out and pointed at Ye Chen.
“Ji Siqing, I don’t care about the process, I only care about the result! The compet.i.tion has barely started, yet so many people have died. If this continues, the number of partic.i.p.ants from the Kunlun Mountains will decrease drastically!”
Daoist Nanming placed his hands behind his back and took a few steps forward.
“In any case, Ye Chen’s actions have broken the rules! The entire compet.i.tion has become a mess because of him, so we cannot let such a person live!”
“Whether you agree or not, and whether you stand on that little b*stard’s side, you have no right to object! When there is conflict between the six judges, they vote to decide! The minority obeys the majority! This was suggested by Mr. Jing Shui! Ji Siqing, do you remember?”
Upon hearing this name, Ji Siqing and the other judges’ expressions changed completely.
The true authority behind this compet.i.tion was Mr. Jing Shui!
A hundred years ago, he had personally created this compet.i.tion, and it had continued to this day.
Not only that, Mr. Jing Shui’s disciples were famous all over the world. He was the first person in the Kunlun Mountains to accept a disciple without considering the limitations of a sect!
The elders of many sects in the Kunlun Mountains were Mr. Jing Shui’s disciples, which meant that he had a wide network and a large sphere of influence.
Very few people in the Kunlun Mountains were willing to offend him, as he was both powerful and highly respected!
Ji Siqing clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
“Of course I know what Mister Jing Shui mentioned! I have no objections to voting!”
“Good!” Daoist Nanming looked at the other four people and said, “Those who think that Ye Chen should not be punished, please raise your hand!”
As soon as he finished speaking, no one raised their hands, except for Ji Siqing.
Apart from herself, all the judges stood on Daoist Nanming’s side, even Elder Zheng.
Although he thought highly of Ye Chen, Ye Chen’s killing intent was too strong. This kind of person was very likely to take the wrong path in the future!
At that time, the entire Kunlun Mountains would suffer. Therefore, he would not take the risk of getting it wrong.
Daoist Nanming was very satisfied with this result. He sneered and said, “Ji Siqing, the result is obvious. Do you still want to stop me?”
Ji Siqing bit her lip lightly. She could not let anything happen to Ye Chen. After hesitating for a few seconds, she grabbed her sword and stepped into the arena.
She then stood in front of Ye Chen and said, “That was your decision, but I, Ji Siqing, will still protect him! If you want to touch him, you will have to get past me first!”
Ji Siqing knew very well that Ye Chen’s strength had indeed increased by quite a bit. He could even crush those three geniuses. However, if he were to face these judges and the other experts managing the compet.i.tion, he would definitely die!
At this moment, if she did not step forward to protect Ye Chen, who would?
She could not watch helplessly as something happened to him!
When Granny Hua of the Cyan Phoenix Sect saw this, she looked at Ye Chen.
“Little b*stard, are you going to hide behind a woman for the rest of your life? I really look down on pretty boys like you who only know how to rely on women.”
“Without Ji Siqing, you would have died five years ago. Without her, how could you be qualified to stand here?”
Ji Siqing was about to say something when a hand patted her shoulder.
Her body froze.
Normally, if a member of the opposite s.e.x touched her shoulder, she would have killed that person immediately. However, she knew that this was Ye Chen’s hand.
“Leave it to me.”
His magnetic voice rang out.
Then, Ye Chen’s body brushed past her and stood in front of her.
For the first time, Ji Siqing realized that Ye Chen’s originally weak and small shoulders had become much broader. He was no longer that youth from back then in dire straits, but was now a man with indomitable spirit.
“However, you are unable to handle someone other strength…” Ji Siqing hesitated.
“You have to believe me.” Ye Chen smiled gently.
Suddenly, he turned around, and his gentle smile was no longer there. His face instantly darkened, and eyes were filled with bloodl.u.s.t.
Vaguely, a dragon’s roar seemed to ring out from within his body.
Ye Chen’s cold eyes shot toward Granny Hua, Daoist Nanming, and the others.
“You bunch of sanctimonious fools. I have no objections if you want to attack me, but I have a score to settle!”
He paused for a few seconds, then suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the elder of the Cyan Phoenix sect, Granny Hua.
“Old hag, do you remember the oath we made in the Land of Slaughter? Now get up here and die!”
His voice shook the heavens, and his words left everyone stunned and dumbfounded, including the disciples of the Cyan Phoenix sect and Daoist Nanming.
Qiu Luocheng’s eyes almost popped out!
Xiao Bi covered her mouth, and Ji Lin, who was eating snacks, actually dropped her food!
No one would have thought that in such a situation, Ye Chen would actually challenge an elder of the Cyan Phoenix sect!
This was no ordinary small sect, but the Cyan Phoenix Sect!
Furthermore, the elder he had challenged was Granny Hua!
Granny Hua’s reputation in the Kunlun Mountains was extremely intimidating!
Although she was not considered a top expert in the Kunlun Mountains, she was not someone a junior like Ye Chen could deal with.
Everyone thought that Ye Chen had gone crazy, and was putting up a final struggle before he died.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Granny Hua smiled sinisterly, and moments later, her hunched body took a light step as she stepped into the arena.
Soon, she was face to face with Ye Chen!
The cold air surged, and the atmosphere in Qianjue Plaza seemed to freeze over.
Unexpectedly, Granny Hua had actually accepted the challenge!
A senior expert who had been famous for a long time actually accepted the challenge of an unknown junior!
Given the huge disparity in power, why did Granny Hua accept the challenge?
Could it be that she wanted to kill Ye Chen to avenge Luo Huan?
This was the only possibility, right?
Daoist Nanming could not help but say, “Granny Hua, what are you doing?
With your status, you still want to deal with this kid personally?”
Granny Hua replied, “A few days ago, I met this kid. We made an agreement to duel. I originally thought that this kid wouldn’t dare to accept the challenge, given his situation, but now it seems that this guy wants to struggle before he dies, so I’ll let him understand what true fear feels like!”
Daoist Nanming did not say anything else. Ye Chen was going to die anyway. After the little b*stard killed so many of the sect’s young geniuses, having Granny Hua deal with him might make the whole incident easier to deal with when the sect master found out about it.
Ji Siqing shook her head.
She could not help but worry. After all, the difference in strength was too great.
Ye Chen was merely a saint realm cultivator. Even if he could unleash the power of a peak-level saint king Realm cultivator, or an early-stage origin realm cultivator, it would still not be enough to deal with Granny Hua!
