The Demonic World I designed-Chapter 724 - 715: Bai Su...
Chapter 724: Chapter 715: Bai Su...
"Bai Su?"
The divided space was vast, with even one of the spaces feeling as large as a small city. This expansive space provided the two magicians with ample room to maneuver.
Chen Ye had activated his bloodline at the very first instant, his dragon scales spreading across his body, his aura overwhelmingly powerful, like a flame bursting through the darkness, incredibly conspicuous within his own space.
This scene dazzled many Elders from the notable families of Yundu, who, even through the screen, could feel that exaggerated spirit!
The Dragon Transformed Sorcerer was indeed exceptionally strong. If the Southern Sea continued to control this asset, these old families feared they would soon be obsolete.
However, the opponent’s tactics were excessively crude, revealing his cards too early and being so visible amounted to making himself a large target, giving an opportunity to hidden adversaries waiting for their moment to strike. One couldn’t tell if this was overconfidence or something else.
Chen Qing, observing from the sidelines, nodded slightly, "Lord Chen’s son is indeed cautious..."
Chen Baifeng smiled faintly; his child was extraordinarily gifted and naturally somewhat arrogant. Fortunately, he had been suppressed at the first challenge, which made him become more prudent and reluctant to underestimate his opponents.
In fact, facing the woman from the north concerned him a bit, because she was a demon, and there was a longstanding feud between the Dragon Palace and the Celestial Serpent Palace. It wasn’t impossible that she would seize this chance to attack with lethal intent. Facing such an adversary, any negligence could be fatal.
The Su Family had lost two pillars of their lineage in the first challenge, which sounded an alarm for many of the young members.
Activating his bloodline immediately was to compensate for his lack of combat experience, because if he were careless, he could be killed before even utilizing his bloodline, which would surely turn his death into an object of ridicule.
At this moment, these were exactly Chen Ye’s thoughts.
The fate of the Su Family and Chen Ying’s performance that day made him all the more unwilling to underestimate his current opponent, especially this woman from the north.
He was quite clear on how he had succeeded in the challenge. Without Chen Ying, he and Nie Youyun would probably have met the same fate as the Su Family’s descendants. And that Murong Ziyi from Black Tortoise Gate was reputed to be on par with Zhang Zhiyun. How could someone who had passed her challenge be an easy opponent?
After invoking his bloodline powers, Chen Ye tensed his breathing. Crimson flames rose more than ten meters high, heating the surrounding hundreds of meters of space like a furnace. The intense heat scorched the moisture away, leaving the ground cracked from the intense heat.
This action seemed to waste spiritual energy, but it allowed him to ensure that he could sense his enemy’s approach at the very first moment.
All living beings contain water, and now, any moisture that approached his range of perception could be clearly located by him, regardless of the enemy’s speed. Approaching him would always afford a buffer zone.
As for the consumption?
He didn’t care. Even if the opponent lay hidden, trying to wear him down, he planned to keep the flames burning. After all, the first level was timed; he had to find the key within two hours, and opening the next layer required fifteen minutes. As long as the enemy dared to start the process, he would be able to sense it. If the opponent continuously avoided doing so, then they could both be eliminated.
With such vigilant thoughts, Chen Ye kept a wary eye on his surroundings, fearful of missing even the slightest movement.
The opponent was a demon, perhaps one who had lived tens of thousands of years, with combat experience far exceeding his own. He had to be extremely cautious! freēnovelkiss.com
While contemplating this, a light suddenly flared up in the distance, and obvious spatial fluctuations began to move.
This made Chen Ye startle. How long had it been? Had that person already found the key?
And instead of engaging him, they were about to proceed to the next level?
Chen Ye moved anxiously but then realized that the opponent surely intended to use this as bait to lure him into a trap that she had likely already prepared.
He had been careless. Why hadn’t he thought of this? What should he do now?
Chen Ye bit his lip, to go or not to go?
If he went, he could fall into a trap, but if he didn’t go... would he just watch as the quota was handed to the opponent? How was that any different from surrendering?
His father and many Elders were watching from outside. He couldn’t bring himself to do something so humiliating.
And the spectators outside were also curiously turning their gazes towards Chen Ye’s side, among all the groups, theirs was the first likely to erupt into conflict. The other groups were still cautiously avoiding each other, searching for keys in the shadows.
This Bai Su is quite interesting, as if she knows exactly where the key is. Now it’s getting interesting. I wonder what the Chen Family’s kid will do?
Chen Baifeng also watched with furrowed brows. His own child was in a difficult position now, but this demon named Bai Su was also very strange. From their godlike perspective, they could clearly see that Bai Su hadn’t done anything. She hadn’t set up any traps at all but instead had completely ignored Chen Ye, choosing to directly take the key and open the door.
Was this because she didn’t see him as a threat, or what?
Amidst everyone’s confusion, Chen Ye finally couldn’t bear to lose the competition so meekly. He quickly approached the location where the spatial door was being activated, being extremely cautious along the way and secretly calculating the traps the opponent might have set.
The opponent was a demon, and it was recorded that the great snakes of the Celestial Serpent Palace were not skilled in the art of magical formations. This technique had always been a forte of the Dragon Palace.
However, it didn’t rule out exceptions. Of course, the most likely possibility was poison...
Chen Ye held his breath, seemingly approaching quickly, but was incredibly cautious.
Poison needed a carrier, most likely to be hidden in a liquid, relying on evaporation to enter one’s mouth and nose as water vapor.
If he sensed the peak of liquid evaporation, he would immediately use flames to completely eradicate the vapor.
But along the way, there was nothing, making him increasingly uneasy. Could it be that the opponent’s poison didn’t require a carrier?
But how could that be possible?
With such doubts, he carefully arrived at the fluctuating location after half a quarter of an hour, and he saw the main character.
Honestly, the opponent did not look like a demon who had lived for tens of thousands of years. He had seen many demons in human form, and although they were cloaked in human skin, the innate thirst for blood was easily detectable, including himself, ever since he underwent the Dragon Transformation, even when looking in the mirror he could see the bloodthirsty temperament in himself.
But the opponent seemed not to have it, with an incredibly ethereal temperament, much like the fairies who abstain from the world’s food described by storytellers.
Especially those eyes, clear and bright, without a trace of malice, it’s hard to believe that those are the eyes of a demon!
The woman sensed Chen Ye and looked back, letting out a slight sigh.
"What does your sigh mean?" Chen Ye asked in a low voice.
"Seeing you activate your bloodline with such caution, I thought you would only protect yourself and avoid confrontation. I didn’t expect you to come after all." The regret on her face made Chen Ye startle. Her words seemed to be mocking, but her expression made him not feel mocked at all. He could sense that this woman really didn’t want to fight.
Perhaps...she wasn’t that strong?
A person without a hint of malevolence may not be an experienced killer demon. Perhaps...
With this thought, Chen Ye hesitated no more. Seeing the spatial door about to open, he unreservedly unleashed his Technique, and a massive firestorm instantly spread out, demolishing everything in its path. The destructive power of his domineering innate Technique made all the Elders watching the competition shrink their pupils in shock.
Everyone knew the Dragon Vein Technique should be strong, but they hadn’t expected it to be this powerful!
The buildings in that space, made of high-precision steel stone, disintegrated like powder under the high temperature, and the Technique’s area of effect almost stretched a mile. Such a Sorcerer, during the era of the Feudal Lords, could probably annihilate an army singlehandedly, almost comparable to Zhang Zhiyun’s actions back then.
Is this the power of a Transcendent Dragon Vein Sorcerer?
But among the many spectators, Chen Baifeng and Chen Qing frowned.
Especially Chen Baifeng, whose eyes revealed a look of extreme worry.
That woman...was definitely not a benevolent being!!
The reason was simple, she had immediately judged that Chen Ye was acting in self-defense rather than arrogance. This meant that not only did the opponent have extremely strong combat experience, but she could also see into a person’s heart with great insight.
Such a person could be more dangerous than those seemingly ferocious demons!
