232: Fighting Hechong again

"Lin Yang! It's you!"

The curtain of the chariot was pulled back, and a somewhat familiar face appeared in Lin Yang's eyes.

It was a young man with an extraordinary countenance, exuding an inherent noble aura, a quality that only those born into prominent families and accustomed to a life of luxury could possess.

"He Chong?"

When Lin Yang saw the man inside the war chariot, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, then a peculiar expression appeared on his face.

The war chariot was extraordinary, capable of shielding external senses.

Therefore, just now, Lin Yang hadn't realized that the person sitting inside was He Chong, with whom he had clashed earlier in the Eternal Life Forbidden Zone.

Now that the other party had actively pulled back the curtain, he finally recognized him.

"It is I! I've been looking for you for a long time!"

He Chong's eyes narrowed as he stared at Lin Yang, a sinister smile on his face.

"What do you want me for?" Lin Yang replied with a faint smile.

"What do you think I want you for? We need to settle the score from the Forbidden Zone properly."

He Chong stepped down from the war chariot, flexing his wrists while sneering maliciously.

As he spoke, he glanced at Ji Kunchang, Bai Feifei, Nangong Xueli, Yin Yang Jade Rabbit, and the other companions beside Lin Yang. A wicked smile suddenly played on his lips, and he beckoned to Lin Yang with a finger, saying, "I'll give you a chance! Come here and kowtow to me in apology, and I might mercifully spare your life!"

"Haha, I think too much time has passed, and you've forgotten how you fled from me in such a sorry state inside the Forbidden Zone," Lin Yang scoffed.

"You dare to bring that up!"

He Chong's face instantly turned as black as a pot, and he roared, "Lin Yang, do you still think this is inside the Eternal Life Forbidden Zone? In this Gods and Demons Burial Ground, mere physical prowess is useless!"

Boom!

As his voice fell, He Chong leaped up, soaring into the sky like a roc spreading its wings, rising a hundred zhang high.

He formed hand seals in mid-air, like a humanoid roc, emitting a piercing cry that echoed through the sky. He flapped his wings, sharp as blades, and swooped down to attack Lin Yang.

"Bang!"

Facing He Chong's sudden and fierce offensive, Lin Yang remained unperturbed, calmly striking out with a palm.

In an instant, golden Qi and blood surged within him, like an underwater volcano erupting, causing everyone opposite him to change color.

The palm print immediately glowed with brilliant light, expanding rapidly against the wind, transforming into a luminous five-fingered mountain that pressed down upon the diving humanoid roc.

"Screech!"

The roc shrieked, unleashing a burst of green light that cut down the surrounding mountains, felling clusters of ancient trees. Dust rose everywhere, turning the area into ruins.

Lin Yang secretly extended the Hand of God to grab the opponent, but the opponent skillfully dodged it with ease.

Bang bang bang!

Immediately after, the two sides engaged in a fierce duel, fighting from the ground to the sky, and then from the sky to the distant mountain range.

Meanwhile, Ji Kunchang, Yin Yang Jade Rabbit, and others confronted the group of powerful followers He Chong had brought.

Neither side could intervene in the battle between the two.

"What's going on? How does this guy know my abilities so well..."

After hundreds of rounds, Lin Yang couldn't help but frown slightly.

Because.

He found that He Chong's true strength was only on par with the previous Descendant of the Sea God, at most slightly stronger.

But in an actual fight, He Chong proved to be much more troublesome than the Descendant of the Sea God.

The former seemed to have a thorough understanding of the Divine Abilities he possessed; every time he made a move, the opponent immediately responded with a countermeasure.

"Haha, do you think you're invincible in the Lower Realm and it's still the same in the Upper Realm? I tell you, you're too naive. I've already investigated all your information thoroughly. I know all the Divine Abilities you possess inside and out. What do you have to fight me with!"

Seeing Lin Yang's suspicious gaze, He Chong simply stopped holding back and truthfully explained how he had thoroughly investigated Lin Yang.

"This guy..."

Lin Yang furrowed his brow, sighing inwardly that the power of Immortal Clans was indeed an unimaginably colossal force.

He had only met He Chong once, yet after the latter returned, he had investigated him thoroughly.

"Perhaps... I should also establish my own force in the Upper Realm..."

During the exchange of blows, Lin Yang seemed lost in thought.

Having cultivated until now, he had successively joined the Saint Essence Sect and the Holy Emperor Sect in the Lower Realm.

And he held important positions in both.

But ultimately, in these two forces, he only had significant influence, not Supreme control.

After coming to the Upper Realm, he was even more of a Loose Cultivator, without any factional background, wandering around with friends like Ji Kunchang in search of Opportunities.

Although there was nothing wrong with traveling the world.

But if he could become the helmsman of a hegemonic force, it would open up even vaster horizons for him.

"Who is this person? How can he fight with Brother Lin Yang for so many rounds without showing any signs of decline?" Nangong Xueli asked softly.

"He Chong of the He Clan Immortal Clan. His elder brother is named He Wushuang," Ji Kunchang replied.

"He Wushuang?! The He Wushuang who is hailed as an Immortal King Reincarnation?"

Yin Yang Jade Rabbit was surprised. After coming to the Upper Realm, she had also heard of this person's name.

He was terrifying, hailed as the most talented person in the Upper Realm in the last thirty million years, suspected to be the Reincarnation of an ancient Immortal King.

His strength made all Prodigies of his generation despair; they couldn't even hope to catch up, let alone surpass him.

In the legends of the people, He Wushuang held the Supreme reputation of a Supreme Emperor.

Supreme, meaning the strongest.

Supreme Emperor, meaning the strongest in the Emperor Realm, that is, the number one person below the Immortal Dao!

With such an elder brother, He Chong's path until recently had been smooth sailing, as smooth as could be, with no one daring to oppose him.

It wasn't until not long ago, when he met Lin Yang in the Forbidden Zone, that He Chong suffered a major setback.

"Lin Yang, you Lower Realm Saint Body, you're restless after coming to the Upper Realm. Today, you are destined to die. I will take your head back as a wedding gift for my big brother!" He Chong shouted.

He unleashed a secret technique; nine Azure Dragons appeared around him, roaring as they charged down together, like nine mountain ranges crashing down, their momentum shaking heaven and earth.

"Your big brother is getting married? That's great! On his joyous day, receiving his little brother's head, he'll surely be doubly delighted!"

With a "rip" sound, Lin Yang sneered and tore apart the nine Azure Dragons with his bare hands, blood raining down on the spot, an extremely violent display.

"Haha, you can actually still smile. Oh, I almost forgot, you're probably still in the dark, aren't you? The person my big brother is marrying is your childhood sweetheart from the Lower Realm!"

He Chong laughed loudly, and a heavenly stele appeared in his palm, pressing down towards Lin Yang.

As a direct descendant of an Immortal Clan, he had too many tricks up his sleeve. It was only because the Eternal Life Forbidden Zone restricted spiritual Qi earlier, forcing him to compete in physical prowess, that he couldn't use these external forces to suppress Lin Yang.

Now, with no restrictions, his methods were endless, making it difficult for Lin Yang to deal with him for a while.

"My childhood sweetheart from the Lower Realm?"

Lin Yang frowned, and the delicate face of that innocent and lively Junior Sister, who often hid in the distance and secretly watched him during his time at the Saint Essence Sect in the Eastern Barren, inexplicably surfaced in his mind.

"Who is it?"

"The little princess of the Shen Clan Immortal Clan who recently returned, Shen Youchu!"
