199: Chapter 199 Ye Chen's Sophistry

"Lin Ruiyang, if I don't avenge this, I swear I'm not a man!"

On the other side, Ye Chen looked at this scene with a fierce expression, especially when he heard the discussions of the surrounding people, which made him so angry he almost spat out blood.

Ling Yun's words were equivalent to directly shattering the reputation he had painstakingly built up in the Middle Domain.

After today, he would likely become a liar and scoundrel in everyone's eyes, even reaching the point where everyone wanted to beat him.

"Ye Chen Gege, were you lying to me all along before?"

Ancient Phoenix, who was beside him, looked at Ye Chen with a complex expression, feeling a sharp pang of pain in her heart. She looked lost and asked cautiously.

Before, at the entrance of the Ancient City, the actions of Ye Qingcheng and Jiang Yueyao had already made her suspicious, but she ultimately chose to believe Ye Chen.

Now, her suspicion was once again confirmed by Ling Yun's words, which forced her to reconsider whether the person by her side was truly trustworthy.

"Phoenix, you have to believe me, everything I said is the truth!"

Seeing Ancient Phoenix's disappointed expression, Ye Chen started to panic. He immediately grabbed Ancient Phoenix's hands and explained with an innocent look.

Now, besides the Ye Family, the only one he could rely on was Ancient Phoenix.

The Ye Family's attitude had always been ambiguous, and he wasn't sure if the main family would accept him, a branch disciple. Regardless, he couldn't lose Ancient Phoenix's support now.

Ye Chen frowned and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, his eyes darted around, and he pretended to have a sudden realization: "I see, it must be that slut Ling Yun who fell in love with someone else, that's why she couldn't wait to make the relationship public!"

"I know her very well. Once she falls in love with someone else, she can't wait to cut ties with the past!"

Looking at Ye Chen's resolute demeanor, Ancient Phoenix thought about it and felt that what he said seemed to make some sense, so her heart began to waver again.

"Did I misunderstand him?"

Ancient Phoenix's delicate brows furrowed slightly. She thought carefully, feeling that her mind was a bit confused and didn't know whose words were the truth.

"Ye Chen Gege, if I find out one day that you lied to me, I will leave you forever!"

Ancient Phoenix bit her tender lip, her eyes fixed on Ye Chen, as if she had made a major decision. She said very seriously.

She could accept Ye Chen's humble background, and she could accept that Ye Chen was not as strong as Lin Ruiyang, but she absolutely could not accept a person who was both incompetent and deceived her.

Hearing Ancient Phoenix's words, Ye Chen's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and a few drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. His expression became somewhat flustered.

After a full three breaths, Ye Chen returned to normal and said with certainty: "Phoenix, don't worry, everything I said is the truth, I have never deceived you!"

"Now it's those sluts who fell in love with someone else first, so don't blame me for turning hostile! If they discover Lin Ruiyang's shameless actions in the future and come back to me, I won't even look at them again!"

"From now on, I only belong to you alone, there is nothing else to miss!"

As Ye Chen spoke, he even put on a pained expression midway, making it seem like he was the victim.

Towards the end of his words, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he began to curse inwardly. If Lin Ruiyang hadn't made him lose his ability as a man, Ancient Phoenix would have been his woman long ago, so why would he need to explain here in every possible way.

"Ye Chen Gege, I believe you......."

Seeing this scene, the string in Ancient Phoenix's heart was touched, and she immediately dismissed her doubts, directly ignoring Ling Yun's words.

........

"You lowly human, how dare you disrespect my great Ghost Clan! No matter what force stands behind you, today is your death day!"

On the other side, the Old Woman of the Nine Netherworld Palace was furious when she heard Ling Yun actually calling her brainless. She immediately let out a roar, and a pair of black winged phantoms suddenly appeared behind her.

The next moment, black mist containing evil energy instantly permeated the entire Dongyue Lake. Except for Lin Ruiyang and Ling Yun, almost everyone present was affected by this mist and struggled to mobilize their True Qi to resist the invasion of this evil gas.

Lin Ruiyang's expression was calm. He slightly raised his right hand, and then gently waved it, instantly absorbing all the evil energy within a radius of tens of miles into his body, and then converting it into essence to begin repairing his own injuries.

These evil energies were something others would avoid at all costs, but for Lin Ruiyang, they were treasures even more precious than spiritual liquid.

In just a few breaths, Lin Ruiyang's injuries had completely healed, and his strength returned to its Peak state.

"Hmm?"

Just then, the Old Woman of the Nine Netherworld Palace also noticed something was wrong. Her red-glowing eyes stared intently at Lin Ruiyang, the shock in her eyes completely undisguised.

She had fought for many years. When facing humans and spirit races, as long as they released this evil energy, they could weaken the opponent's combat power by thirty percent.

However, at this moment, Lin Ruiyang was not only unaffected, but could also absorb this energy to repair himself.

If she hadn't felt the vigorous human characteristic of blood energy erupting within Lin Ruiyang's body, she would have even suspected that this person was from the Ghost Clan or the Nether Clan.

"A mere Nine Nether Palace, daring to refine the body of a Winged Demon, truly not knowing death!"

Lin Ruiyang stepped into the void, shoulder to shoulder with Ling Yun, his eyes calmly looking at the winged phantom behind the Old Woman of the Nine Netherworld Palace. There was no fear on his face, and he said lightly.

Familiar with the original work, he knew that Winged Demons were a species in the Demon Clan with a status second only to the royal family. From birth, their physical strength was equivalent to the Saint Realm, let alone adult Winged Demons.

The pair of wings behind the Old Woman were clearly a Bloodline Divine Ability obtained by refining the body of a Winged Demon, but her comprehension was not in place, only condensing a pair of phantoms.

However, even just a pair of winged phantoms could increase her speed by dozens of times.

At such a speed, Ling Yun was likely to suffer a great loss, which was why Lin Ruiyang resolutely stood by Ling Yun's side even when he himself was not her match.

"You little beast, what nonsense are you talking about!"

As soon as Lin Ruiyang's words fell, the Old Woman of the Nine Netherworld Palace's expression suddenly changed drastically. With a thunderous roar, her entire figure instantly disappeared from her original spot, rushing towards Lin Ruiyang as if Crazy (gone mad).

"Hehe, you're guilty, trying to kill to silence witnesses! A coward who dares to do but not admit!"

"Wife, strike to the left!"

Seeing the Old Woman's action, Lin Ruiyang didn't feel the slightest fear, instead letting out a cold laugh.

"Swish......"

Hearing Lin Ruiyang's words, Ling Yun didn't dare to hesitate at all. She immediately swung the Taiyue Sword and fiercely slashed to the left.

Because at this moment, she could no longer capture the trajectory of the Old Woman of the Nine Netherworld Palace, and could only place her hope in Lin Ruiyang.

Lin Ruiyang's strength might not be as good as hers, but based on her two years of observation, she found that this guy actually possessed special eyes. Although she didn't know what type they were, capturing the enemy's trajectory should not be a problem.

"Boom......"

The terrifying sword light, as if connecting heaven and earth, shot straight into the sky, piercing through the sky and the ground. The Old Woman of the Nine Netherworld Palace's bone staff had just revealed a small section when it directly collided with this terrifying sword light. The Old Woman's entire body, along with the bone staff, was instantly sent flying, spewing blood.
