89: Making a move in the chaos exposed his true colors.
At this moment in the central resource area, except for Jiang Yan who had not arrived, the other Blood Sons had already gathered.
"Have you seen Su Chen?" Ye Qingfeng asked Zhou Ling and the others.
"No, after I met Ruan Yuanlong, I rushed here," Zhou Ling said.
"Sister Yan and I didn't encounter Su Chen either," Chen Feng said, turning his gaze toward Yu Kejiao.
"I didn't encounter him either," Yu Kejiao shook her head, her tone filled with doubt. "Could it be that he just vanished into thin air?"
"Impossible, I suspect he's hiding," Lü Dong said.
Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Lu Xing and Ye Qingfeng; after all, these two were the main characters of this Blood Son Battle.
"What do you say?" Ye Qingfeng asked Lu Xing.
"Since I can't take first place, don't even think about taking it yourself. It would be better to give first place to Su Qingyan's group," Lu Xing said.
"Lu Xing, although there's nothing wrong with that choice, you're alone now. I think I should be able to take first place," Ye Qingfeng smiled.
"Who do you expect Gu Mingfeng to help you hold back?" Lu Xing asked disdainfully.
Ye Qingfeng smiled faintly, his tone indifferent. "He only needs to focus on collecting resources. After all, I have come fully prepared."
As Ye Qingfeng's voice fell, four golden chess pieces appeared in his hand.
Seeing these four chess pieces, Lu Xing's expression became slightly tense. He never expected that Ye Qingfeng would bring out the Phantom Body Chess Pieces just to win this time.
"Don't you want to win future Blood Son Battles anymore?" Lu Xing questioned.
"Lu Xing, don't think I don't know what you're planning," Ye Qingfeng revealed a sinister smile and said coldly, "Both you and I are about to step into the Core Formation Realm. As long as I win this match, will I still care about these trump cards in the future?"
Hearing Ye Qingfeng's words, Lu Xing's heart skipped a beat. He never expected that Ye Qingfeng had actually seen through his thoughts.
Indeed, no matter who it was, as long as they won this match, they would Breakthrough to the Core Formation Realm ahead of time. After all, the reward for this year's Blood Son Battle was the Golden Essence Bell.
That kind of Spirit Treasure could withstand three Lightning Tribulations. If he obtained the Golden Essence Bell, then whether it was next year or in the future, he would always be number one.
"Ye Qingfeng, are you sure you want to do this?" Lu Xing questioned with a grim face.
Ye Qingfeng snorted, his tone arrogant. "Lu Xing, I know what you're up to. Never mind those few; even if you all attack together, the final winner will still be me."
Lu Xing ignored Ye Qingfeng and instead looked at Lü Dong and the others. "Do you want to be suppressed by him for the rest of your lives? If you are willing to help me, I guarantee that each of you will win a Blood Son Battle once."
Lu Xing's condition was very persuasive, but facing Ye Qingfeng made them feel somewhat panicked in their hearts.
"If you agree, I will directly destroy two of his chess pieces." Lu Xing took out a longbow and two arrows.
Seeing that Lu Xing had also revealed his trump card, Jiang Qiong understood it was time to make a choice.
"Fine, I hope you keep your word!" Jiang Qiong stepped forward.
"Since Jiang Qiong has agreed, then I certainly have no objection," Lü Dong said with a smile.
Seeing these two jump out directly, a flash of killing intent crossed Ye Qingfeng's eyes.
"Ye Qingfeng, your chances of winning shouldn't be very high this time, right?" Lu Xing looked at Ye Qingfeng with a smile.
"Hmph," Ye Qingfeng snorted, transforming the jade flute into a longsword. "In that case, let's fight!"
As Ye Qingfeng's voice fell, the four chess pieces in his left hand instantly transformed into his own appearance. Immediately after, five Ye Qingfengs drew their swords simultaneously.
"Do it!" Lu Xing pulled the longbow and shot two arrows directly at the Ye Qingfeng Clones on the left and right.
Jiang Qiong, Lü Dong, Su Linglong, and the others immediately drew their weapons and charged at Ye Qingfeng.
Through the images sent by Yu Kejiao, a smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Yan's mouth.
'Fight, fight, it's best if both sides suffer!'
"Boom!"
Five sword lights bloomed simultaneously as Ye Qingfeng's Clones traversed the battlefield like phantoms. Lu Xing's arrows pierced through the air, but the moment they touched the Clones, two of them instantly turned into stones.
Jiang Qiong's gilded mace swept across, Lü Dong's Blood Banner stirred up a bloody wind, and Su Linglong's Flying Sword turned into a stream of light. Killing moves from three sides arrived simultaneously, but Ye Qingfeng's true body shifted his sword edge, and a cold glint suddenly appeared!
"Zheng!"
A sword crossed the air, actually blocking the attacks of the three people at the same time!
Air waves exploded, the ground cracked, and Ye Qingfeng's robes fluttered, his eyes as cold as frost.
"Is this all you've got?"
His sword stance changed again, and the Clones and true body instantly swapped positions. Three figures rotated like stars, and the sword light wove into a celestial net!
Jiang Qiong groaned as his shoulder was pierced by Sword Qi; a corner of Lü Dong's Blood Banner was sliced off, and resentful souls wailed as they scattered; Su Linglong's Flying Sword was even knocked back!
Just as Ye Qingfeng was feeling triumphant, Lu Xing seized the opportunity, his figure flashing, and killed a Clone with one sword strike.
"You really are a rat in the dark!"
Lu Xing sneered. "Leave the last Clone to them; I'll hold him back!"
And just as Lu Xing's voice fell... "Puchi!"
Lü Dong suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, looking down in disbelief at the half-section of a flute blade protruding from his chest.
"Kejiao... you?!"
Yu Kejiao, standing behind him, smiled sweetly. Deep in her pupils, a golden light flashed for a moment, and she stabbed the jade flute forward again.
"Clang!"
But this time, it was forcibly blocked by Lü Dong's inner armor.
"Kejiao... why?" Lü Dong asked in disbelief.
He couldn't understand what was going on.
Yu Kejiao didn't speak; she tapped her feet lightly, and her figure instantly disappeared.
Everyone was stunned, completely unable to understand what was happening.
But before they could react, Yu Kejiao's figure appeared again, and this time the target was Su Linglong!
"Linglong!" Lu Xing shouted, his body like lightning, instantly appearing on Su Linglong's right side.
"Clang!"
The jade flute was blocked by the sword light, allowing Su Linglong to escape with her life.
"Wait, she isn't Yu Kejiao!" Chen Jian shouted hurriedly.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
How was this possible?
It was clearly Yu Kejiao; whether it was her speech or her demeanor, it was undoubtedly Yu Kejiao.
"Chen Jian, if you don't want to die, shut your mouth. Otherwise, I'll make you, this Stinking Fox, disappear forever!" Yu Kejiao said with enchanting charm.
Seeing Yu Kejiao in such a state, everyone was dumbfounded because Yu Kejiao had never displayed such a demeanor before.
"Alright, now it's fair. You guys continue!" Yu Kejiao giggled, and in an instant, she disappeared again.
Seeing Yu Kejiao disappear once more, the crowd didn't dare to move easily. After all, no one knew where she would appear from.
"Chen Jian, what exactly do you know?" Lü Dong swallowed a Medicinal Pill and questioned.
"I only know that she isn't the real Yu Kejiao. Or rather, she is Yu Kejiao, but not the Yu Kejiao we know," Chen Jian said hurriedly.
In fact, Chen Jian had vaguely guessed something, but that warning just now made him choose to hide it. After all, those methods were too eerie, and only the Dao Yun Sect had that kind of secret technique.
Therefore, Chen Jian dared to assert that the reason Su Chen hadn't appeared was very likely because Su Chen was controlling everything from behind the scenes.
If all of this were true, then the outcome of this Blood Son Battle would truly be an unknown.
Hearing Chen Jian's words, Su Linglong seemed to remember a mission. She had once failed that mission, and the target figure knew such eerie methods.
"Could it be... Su Chen!" Su Linglong said in horror.
At this moment, Su Linglong's back was already soaked with sweat. She couldn't believe that Su Chen would actually use such an eerie Spell.
Hearing Su Chen's name, Ye Qingfeng and Lu Xing immediately exchanged a look. They knew very well that if Su Chen was indeed behind this, then if they continued fighting, they would only end up with both sides suffering.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
The sound of crisp clapping gradually rose from behind an ancient tree, and then Yu Kejiao's figure appeared before everyone.
"Chen Jian, although you didn't say anything, your reminder was still quite crucial," Yu Kejiao looked at Chen Jian charmingly.
Chen Jian was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly. "Blood Disciple Su, please don't joke. I've hidden a lot of words; I'm sure you understand."
Yu Kejiao smiled and nodded. "Indeed. However, I didn't expect that Su Linglong would also know about this Spell."
Su Linglong ignored Su Chen's words and instead directly asked her suspicion. "Su Chen, was it you who completed that mission from the Dao Yun Sect?"
"That's right. But... I should also thank you. If you hadn't failed, perhaps I wouldn't have encountered such a mission," Yu Kejiao said coquettishly.
Hearing this, Su Linglong was shocked to her core. She had originally harbored thoughts of revenge, but looking at it now, as long as she didn't die today, it would already be a stroke of luck.
