King of Creation-Chapter 626 - 619: Verbal Abuse

Ye Zhen felt a flash of white light, and a gust of wind blew as the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, its body stretching to a hundred meters, carried a porcelain bowl, the size of an adult’s palm, with its front paws. The bowl’s surface was perfectly level, not a drop of water spilled, and the wooden table a hundred meters away was completely undamaged, only the porcelain bowl had vanished.

The faces of the martial artists watching from afar suddenly showed a look of shock.

Today, they had seen many demon beasts, not a thousand, then at least eight hundred, but none could perform as neatly and cleanly as this Cloud Winged Tiger King.

"This..."

The Beast Taming Sect’s eldest disciple rubbed his eyes in disbelief, staring at the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, his face filled with astonishment.

After being stunned for a few moments, he finally turned to Ye Zhen with a wry smile, "The spirit wisdom of your Cloud Winged Tiger King is too high, isn’t it? I think even the spirit wisdom of Heavenly Level Middle Grade demon beasts is far inferior to it."

Ye Zhen beamed, revealing a set of bright white teeth, "Have I passed the preliminary selection? Or should we proceed with the second test?"

"No need, no need, you’ve already passed! If such a spiritual beast cannot pass, then who can?" the eldest disciple of the Beast Taming Sect said as he watched Ye Zhen entering, while admiring the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, his eyes full of envy.

To be honest, they at the Beast Taming Sect had spent decades painstakingly cultivating demon beasts, yet none reached the level of spirit wisdom as this Cloud Winged Tiger King right before them.

The only pity was that its grade was too low. The Cloud Winged Tiger King’s innate bloodline was only a Mid-grade Earth Level, and it was already quite difficult for this particular Cloud Winged Tiger King to break through to an Upper-grade Earth Level.

Suddenly, the eldest disciple of the Beast Taming Sect understood the reason why Ye Zhen came here this time to compete for the opportunity to have dinner with his Master.

"Damn it, that bastard caused me to be expelled, wasting this rare opportunity, yet he actually passed the preliminary selection?"

The long-faced martial artist, who had just been thrown out by the Beast Taming Sect disciple, had to exhaust a great deal of effort to calm the Triangular Dominator Bull down and struggled to get to the front to watch.

He hadn’t expected, to see Ye Zhen passing the preliminary round right as he arrived, and instantly, a surge of rage filled his chest, wishing nothing more than to kill Ye Zhen to relieve his anger.

Moreover, this hatred was not just in thought, as to him, Ye Zhen was just a martial artist at the Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm.

As a martial artist at the Second Stage of Vein Forging Realm, killing a martial artist at the Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm seemed just a flick of his fingers to him; the key was, he needed to know some details about Ye Zhen, such as his name, which sect or power he belonged to, and where he lived, to make his move.

"Who is this guy? Only the Fifth Stage of Soul Sea cultivation, and he managed to pass the preliminary selection?" the long-faced martial artist asked, trying his luck to see if any nearby martial artists knew.

Unexpectedly, he actually ran into some luck, and it wasn’t just one or two people. Quite a few actually knew it.

"You don’t know this person? It’s Ye Zhen, the Thunderclap Killing God of Jianghu."

"Thunderclap Killing God Ye Zhen?" Hearing this nickname, the long-faced martial artist’s heart skipped a beat. In the True Spirit Domain, nicknames like Thunderclap Killing God aren’t given lightly. Such a nickname wouldn’t exist without significant battle achievements.

What was worse, he had also heard of a Thunderclap Killing God Ye Zhen, just not sure if it was the same person in front of him.

"The Thunderclap Killing God? Could it be that legendary one who single-handedly killed seven Peak Fifth Stage Soul Sea Realm warriors in one fight, and later killed Yang Zhengxi, Helm Master of the Longevity Sect’s Xining Branch?" the long-faced martial artist asked.

"That’s him! One of the most prominent young martial artists in Jianghu today..."

Cold sweat instantly began to flow down the face of the long-faced martial artist. He had stayed in Xining Martial City for a period recently and was well aware of this information, which everyone there knew.

He was shocked that Half a year ago when Ye Zhen did this, he was only at the Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and now his cultivation had reached the Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm.

Being that fierce at the Spirit Transformation Realm Fifth Stage Peak, now as a Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm martial artist, his combat power... he could only guess how many times it had multiplied....

Unexpectedly, the heart of the long-faced martial artist throbbed suddenly, and with a swish, he slipped out of the crowd.

All he could think of now was hoping that Ye Zhen would not bear grudges against him, and even more so that he would never have to encounter Ye Zhen again...

"Crack!"

At the same time, the middle-aged martial artist behind Ye Zhen urged his demon servant to undertake the first test. The Ice Departure Eagle’s movements were quite neat, and the wooden table remained intact, but the porcelain bowl, upon contact with the Ice Departure Eagle’s iron claws, shattered instantly....

And that happened twice in a row....

The middle-aged martial artist was immediately dumbfounded; he had just watched Ye Zhen’s demon beast perform it so simply. So why was it so difficult now?

His demon servant was even a Heavenly Level Lower Grade demon beast!

Meanwhile, Ye Zhen, who had just entered Moon-viewing Tower’s first-floor lobby after passing the preliminary selection, was suddenly taken aback as two icy blade-like glances shot straight toward him, as if wanting to pierce him right there.

Ye Zhen had encountered an old acquaintance.

Duan Yingnian, the current Guardian Sect Commander of the Longevity Sect, was also here and had passed the preliminary selection.

Ye Zhen curved his mouth upward in a sunny smile, completely ignoring Duan Yingnian’s icy blade-like glance, and instead found an empty seat in the lobby to sit down.

Counting Ye Zhen, there were now thirteen martial artists sitting in this lobby of Moon-viewing Tower. Besides Duan Yingnian, Ye Zhen recognized almost everyone else. He was not very familiar with many martial artists in Qinglan Martial City.

Oddly, a martial artist in a blue outfit with sharp eyes was unabashedly sizing up Ye Zhen, even when Ye Zhen looked back at him, still scrutinizing him, occasionally sending pulses of Divine Soul Power.

Ye Zhen had a feeling that this blue-outfitted martial artist was not just sizing up an opponent but observing prey.

Also, under the perception of Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense, this person’s aura was rather obscure and unclear. Generally, martial artists whose Soul Power Ye Zhen could not clearly sense were definitely from the Vein Forging Realm and highly cultivated.

A long sword hung at his waist, his right hand constantly rested upon it, probably a master swordsman.

With a thought, Ye Zhen’s gaze met the other without hesitation.

Seeing this, the martial artist in blue suddenly smiled, cupped his hands from a distance, and said, "I am Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu. I have long admired Brother Ye’s reputation and have longed to battle with you, Brother Ye, but I’ve had no chance. To think I would have the fortune to meet you here today..."

Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu?

Ye Zhen’s expression slightly changed. He hadn’t known this name before today, yet now it was already well known to him because just this morning, Feng Qingyue had mentioned this name to him no less than ten times.

Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu would be one of the most threatening young powerhouses to Ye Zhen at this Spirit Returning Assembly. Not only is his combat power extremely formidable, but his cultivation had also reached the peak of the Third Stage of the Vein Forging Realm. Most importantly, Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu is one of the eighteen Star Suppressing warriors of the Stars Tower in the True Spirit Domain.

He is also the youngest Star Suppressing member of the Stars Tower who had once killed a Fourth Stage Vein Forging Realm powerhouse and defeated a Fifth Stage Vein Forging Realm powerhouse, a freakish record.

Feng Qingyue even said that if Ye Zhen encountered Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu in the trial lands of the Spirit Returning Assembly, if possible, it was best to avoid him at all costs.

If Ye Zhen were to confront Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu, winning would likely demand a fight to the death.

And with these words, Qin Hu expressed his hostility towards Ye Zhen unabashedly. As the most valued Star Suppressing member by the Stars Tower Master Yan Cong of the True Spirit Domain, one could imagine he was certainly instructed about something.

Seeing Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu and Ye Zhen locked in confrontation, Guardian Sect Commander Duan Yingnian suddenly smiled and said, "Since Nephew Qin eagerly looks forward to a battle with Ye Zhen, why not let me host a wager here, betting on the outcome between you two today?"

At this point, Duan Yingnian looked at Ye Zhen. "Ye Zhen, you wouldn’t dare refuse this challenge, would you?" His gaze suddenly switched to the other dozen or so martial artists in the hall. "I’ll act as the broker, and everyone here can place bets freely. However, I favor Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu more.

Therefore, the odds for Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu are only ten to one, while for Ye Zhen, they are one to... ten!"

The moment these hugely disparate odds were announced, the martial artists present were all moved, yet since the game hadn’t started, they could only watch Duan Yingnian with some anticipation.

"What an honor!" Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu suddenly stood up, his battle intent fierce as he stared sharply at Ye Zhen and then turned to Duan Yingnian with a smile, "Commander Duan, may I bet on myself?"

His words revealed his strong confidence.

Everyone’s eyes then turned to Ye Zhen, on whom the continuation of this gambling battle now depended.

"Ye Zhen, don’t tell me you are scared? Or are you afraid of Qin Hu?" Duan Yingnian again resorted to provocation,

Hearing this, Ye Zhen sneered, directing his scorn at Duan Yingnian.

"Surname Duan, what are you? Can you decide my affairs? Whether I fight or not, how is it any of your business?

Oh, that’s right, there’s a bit of a connection since you, surname Duan, wish everyday that I would die, so you resort to these foolish tricks. Trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife, can’t you be a little more clever?

With such mediocre skills, you dare to be the Guardian Sect Commander of the Longevity Sect?"

At one point, Ye Zhen was somewhat tempted by the ten to one odds offered by Duan Yingnian, but after a moment’s thought, he unequivocally refused.

Ye Zhen was not intimidated by Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu, but if he really had to fight him, Ye Zhen feared he might have to use all his secret techniques, even resorting to desperate measures.

For one thing, this was not the place to employ them, and secondly, Ye Zhen did not want to recklessly expose or waste his life-saving secret techniques.

Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu’s expression suddenly turned awkward. He had not expected Ye Zhen to be so bold as to show no mercy in such a public setting.

Duan Yingnian’s face suddenly looked somewhat ugly, but only for a brief moment.

"Concern yourself with Ye Zhen, a greenhorn? Are you worthy?"

"I only intend to support Nephew Qin’s eager heart for battle. Perhaps you aren’t aware, but Nephew Qin is to participate in the Spirit Returning Assembly tomorrow. After today, even if you wish to have a fierce battle with him, it won’t be possible for a short while."

"That might not be the case! It won’t take many days before a battle between him and me becomes inevitable! Perhaps, even several battles might be possible!"

"Hmph, boasting so grand isn’t good for your tongue! Want to fight with Nephew Qin for the upcoming period, unless you are also qualified to participate in the Spirit Returning Assembly!

Is that possible?

The young elite of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect would have to be dead before sending you, a Soul Sea Realm martial artist, to participate in the Spirit Returning Assembly? Ridiculous!" Duan Yingnian scoffed.

"Heh, surname Duan, this time, I will have to slap your face again. Watch what this is?" Ye Zhen’s palm suddenly revealed a milky white Jade Talisman.

The moment he saw the milky white Jade Talisman, Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu instantly stood up. "Spirit Returning Immortal Talisman? The Sun and Moon Divine Sect really sent you to participate in the Spirit Returning Assembly?" Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu was incredulous.

Opposite, Duan Yingnian’s expression instantly stiffened, growing somewhat uneasy, but Ye Zhen did not intend to let him off.

"Heh, Hall Master Duan, seen this Spirit Returning Immortal Talisman? Hmph, to say Duan Yingnian is short-sighted is an insult to mice!"

Ye Zhen mercilessly mocked Duan Yingnian, and indeed, the phrase was so venomous that it made Duan Yingnian instantly flare up, jumping to his feet, "Looking for death!"

With a fierce shout, evil Qi surged around him, directly locking onto Ye Zhen with deadly intent.

Just as a big battle was about to break out, at that moment, a green figure swiftly floated into the first floor hall.

The moment the green figure floated into the first floor hall, all eyes involuntarily focused on this green-clad figure, even the enraged Duan Yingnian was no exception.

Only Ye Zhen, seeing the green-clad young girl float into the hall, was suddenly taken aback.

This girl, why does she look so familiar? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com).
