864: Chapter 864 Old folks, what's going on here?

Watching this scene.

Someone in the audience exclaimed.

"It's over! Ye Chen is going to suffer!"

"How can he dodge in mid-air? If that punch lands, he'll be dead or severely injured!"

"As expected of the Great Elder Gui Ziming, his experience is truly seasoned!"

...

However.

Just as the fist was about to smash into Ye Chen's chest, his body suddenly shifted sideways by half a foot, light as a falling leaf.

Great Elder Gui Ziming's fist grazed past his chest; the wind from the punch tore a hole in his lapel, but failed to harm even a bit of his flesh.

Great Elder Gui Ziming's pupils contracted.

Ye Chen had already used the momentum of his sidestep to flip in mid-air, landing ten paces away.

He looked down at his torn lapel and brushed off the ice shards.

"Tsk, you almost hit my clothes."

"Old timer, your skills are indeed decent, but it's a pity..."

He looked up, smiling innocently, "It's just missing that little something."

Great Elder Gui Ziming's face turned livid.

Humiliation!

Blatant humiliation!

This Ye Chen was truly more annoying than he had imagined!

"Brat, don't get cocky!"

"I want to see... how long you can hold out???"

Great Elder Gui Ziming let out a low shout, his figure swaying as he charged at Ye Chen once again.

Ye Chen raised the corner of his mouth, his body swaying along with him.

But instead of attacking, he...

...started wandering about.

His movements were like a ghost, making Great Elder Gui Ziming increasingly agitated as he fought.

Clearly, he had lived much longer than Ye Chen.

Whether it was experience, foundation, or the consolidation of his cultivation realm, he should have far surpassed his opponent.

Yet what was the reality?

No matter how he attacked, Ye Chen was like a loach, impossible for him to catch.

Instead, his own true energy began to collapse bit by bit under the continuous onslaught...

Just at this moment.

Ye Chen suddenly stopped, standing on a piece of floating ice, looking at him with a smile.

"Old timer, after fighting for so long, are you a bit tired?"

Great Elder Gui Ziming's breathing was indeed a bit more labored than before.

But he didn't show it on his face: "Me, tired? What a joke! You haven't even touched the corner of my clothes, whereas..."

Before he could finish speaking.

An aged voice came from behind the stands, interrupting him.

"Big brother, I have come to assist you!"

Everyone turned their heads in unison.

They saw.

In the shadows at the very top of the viewing stands, someone had appeared out of nowhere.

The person was wearing a gray robe, with a hexagram tattooed on his head as well.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the surrounding crowd's expressions changed drastically.

"That is... the Second Elder of the Guixu Clan, Second Elder Gui Tuyuan, who has been in seclusion for fifty years?!"

"He actually came out of seclusion too???"

"Second Elder Gui Tuyuan was a figure who stepped into the Nascent Soul Peak thirty years earlier than Great Elder Gui Ziming. After sitting in seclusion for so many years, his cultivation must be even higher, right?"

...

Ignoring the crowd.

Second Elder Gui Tuyuan walked over step by step; with every step, the ground would shatter.

"Young man, you are quite impressive."

"To reach the Nascent Soul Peak at the age of twenty-something is considered outstanding talent in the history of the entire cultivation world."

"But you shouldn't have provoked the Guixu Clan."

Ye Chen tilted his head: "Oh, so you plan on two fighting one?"

Second Elder Gui Tuyuan did not deny it.

"I am naturally disinclined to bully the few with the many, but the nine keys in your hands are of great importance and cannot be lost."

"If you are sensible and hand over the keys, I can ensure you leave safely."

"If you are not sensible..."

"Then don't blame Great Elder Gui Ziming and me for joining forces to bully the young."

As long as one wasn't a fool, they understood the meaning: the two intended to fight one.

After all.

With both Ye Chen and Great Elder Gui Ziming at the Nascent Soul Peak, it would likely be difficult to determine a winner in a one-on-one fight.

Moreover...

Great Elder Gui Ziming seemed to be at a disadvantage.

Therefore.

If they didn't join forces now, they probably really wouldn't be able to take down Ye Chen.

For a moment.

Everyone.

looked at Ye Chen.

With two Nascent Soul Peak experts attacking together, no matter how monstrous Ye Chen was, he was still just a twenty-something-year-old young man. How could he possibly withstand the combined force of two Nascent Soul Peak experts?

A sinister look had already appeared on Bai Canghe's face.

Two against one.

Ye Chen, you're dead!

However.

Facing two peerless experts, there was not a ripple on Ye Chen's face.

"Two against one, is it?"

"What a coincidence, I also like two against one."

He turned his head and whistled towards the edge of the arena.

"Xiaobai, Prince, time to work."

Two figures moved in response.

One white, one black, two streaks of light emerged from the gaps in the crowd and landed beside Ye Chen in the blink of an eye.

Xiaobai stood on Ye Chen's left, tilting its head and howling, while also revealing a mouthful of small milk teeth.

Prince stood on Ye Chen's right, puffing out its round belly and quacking.

The entire audience: "???"

No...

These two little guys, although they had some tricks, didn't seem reliable at all.

Suddenly.

An uproarious laughter erupted from the stands.

"Hahaha! Has Ye Chen gone crazy? He's letting a bear cub and a penguin fight two Nascent Soul Peak old monsters?"

"I'm dying of laughter! That bear isn't even as high as my knees, and that penguin looks smaller than the goose I raise at home. What can these two things do?"

"What if? What if the two of them combined are actually very good at fighting?"

...

Bai Canghe almost laughed out loud.

He had originally thought Ye Chen would bring out some hidden trump card, but this was it?

A bear cub and a penguin?

Is this guy here to be a comedian?

He admitted that the bear and penguin were not ordinary creatures.

But no matter how "un-ordinary" they were, they couldn't possibly be a match for Nascent Soul Stage old monsters.

At this moment, even Great Elder Gui Ziming couldn't hold back: "Ye Chen, are you toying with me?"

Ye Chen shrugged.

"Toying with you? Are you worthy?"

Saying this.

He bent down and patted Xiaobai's head.

"Xiaobai, get bigger."

Xiaobai tilted its head and let out a whimper.

Then.

The palm-sized furball suddenly expanded.

The speed was so fast that everyone's smiles froze on their faces.

One zhang.

Two zhang.

Three zhang.

Four zhang.

Xiaobai's size only stopped when it had suddenly expanded to nearly five zhang tall.

Where was the cute appearance now?

It was simply an ancient behemoth that had just awakened.

It opened its blood-stained maw and roared furiously at the two people opposite.

"ROAR!!!!!!"

The sound wave exploded!

The people in the stands who had been gloating were shocked until their ears bled.

Great Elder Gui Ziming's expression finally changed.

He could clearly feel...

The aura of this giant bear had actually soared to the level of the Early Nascent Soul Stage!

Although it couldn't compare to the two of them, its thick vitality and violent pressure were absolutely not to be underestimated.

Moreover...

Spiritual beasts were inherently stronger than their peers of the same level!

Second Elder Gui Tuyuan's pupils contracted even further.

"A Spatial Spiritual Beast?"

"And it has already awakened its bloodline?"

Ye Chen looked down at Prince.

"Prince, you join in too."

Prince puffed out its chest, flapped its short wings twice, and then took a deep breath.

It didn't get bigger.

It didn't transform.

It just aimed towards Great Elder Gui Ziming and Second Elder Gui Tuyuan...

"QUACK!"

And let out a call.

The next second.

The ice surface under Great Elder Gui Ziming and Second Elder Gui Tuyuan exploded without warning.

Dozens of ice spikes shot out from beneath the ground, aiming straight for their lower bodies.

Their expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly tapped their toes, raising their figures several feet to avoid the ice spikes.

After dodging, both of them looked at Prince simultaneously.

Second Elder Gui Tuyuan's brows furrowed: "This penguin... can control cold energy?"

A penguin that can control cold energy?

It didn't sound too outrageous.

But for it to control cold energy to the point of threatening a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, that was a completely different concept.

What did this mean?

A penguin could easily kill anyone present...

Ye Chen clapped his hands.

"Alright, now it's fair."

"You two old timers, now it's three against two. Do you have any last words?"

Great Elder Gui Ziming's face darkened instantly.

But Second Elder Gui Tuyuan, standing to the side, narrowed his eyes.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a spiritual beast that has just entered the Nascent Soul Stage and an exotic beast that has mastered a little bit of cold energy."

"Great Elder Gui Ziming and I joining forces are enough to suppress them."

Ye Chen smiled: "Oh? Is that so? Underestimating your enemy comes with a price."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiaobai had already moved.

It was astonishingly fast, swatting a claw at Great Elder Gui Ziming, wrapped in biting gale winds, sending the broken ice beneath its feet flying into the sky.

Great Elder Gui Ziming didn't dare to take it head-on, dodging to the side while simultaneously slapping a palm at Xiaobai's ribs.

Xiaobai didn't dodge or evade, taking the blow head-on, and instead used the force of the palm to turn around and swat its other claw at Second Elder Gui Tuyuan.

Second Elder Gui Tuyuan raised a palm to meet it.

"BANG!!!"

Palm and claw collided, waves of energy rolling out.

Second Elder Gui Tuyuan didn't budge, but Xiaobai was shaken back several steps.

But there was no fear in Xiaobai's eyes; instead, its ferocity was ignited, and it roared low before pouncing again.

Prince was not to be outdone.

It trotted on its two short legs to the side, occasionally opening its mouth to spit out cold energy, creating patches of slippery ice beneath Great Elder Gui Ziming and Second Elder Gui Tuyuan's feet.

The two Nascent Soul Peak old monsters were actually forced to divert their energy to deal with these two little things.

Great Elder Gui Ziming stomped and shattered the ice surface beneath his feet, turning his head to glare furiously at Prince.

But before he could make a move, Xiaobai had already pounced again, forcing him back with a claw.

Ye Chen stood not far away, hands in his pockets, watching the lively scene with a smile.

"Old timers, what's going on with you?"

"How can you fight two Early Nascent Soul Stage little guys for so long and still not have succeeded?"

"If you don't succeed soon, I'm going to make a move!"
