Chapter 547 - 543: Thunder Scale Shield
"So strong, this Lei Dong truly deserves to be ranked twentieth on the Thunder Prison Immortal Sect's true disciple list. Even among our Azure Sky Peak's true disciples, not many can match him."
"Hmph! This useless Ye Chen is doomed. This time, there's no chance for a miracle." The disciples of Azure Sky Peak sneered, looking as if they were watching a show.
Just as Lei Dong had said.
Ye Chen couldn't compare to Lei Dong in terms of mana or speed.
Moreover, he couldn't even awaken his bloodline. It's absolutely impossible for him to defeat Lei Dong.
Facing Ye Chen, this useless person, was only the path of death.
"Do you really think your speed has surpassed mine?" Ye Chen's lips suddenly curled into a cold smile.
Buzz!
In the next moment, a dazzling golden divine light burst forth from Ye Chen's body, making him appear as if a War God had descended.
On his skin, one could even vaguely see tiny Dragon Scales.
At this moment, Ye Chen unleashed all the Dragon Elephant Divine Patterns on his body without reservation, his muscles bulging larger than usual, filled with immense explosive power like a coiled dragon.
The Dragon Elephant Divine Patterns not only enhanced Ye Chen's physical power but also increased his bodily speed.
If relying solely on Wandering Dragon True Intent, Ye Chen's speed couldn't match Lei Dong's.
However, once he added the power of the Dragon Elephant Divine Patterns, it was a completely different story.
"Hmph! Useless trash, stop pretending to be mysterious in front of me. There's no way your speed could match mine." Lei Dong couldn't help but sneer, his expression full of disdain, looking at Ye Chen like he was a pathetic clown.
Whoosh.
In the next instant, he pushed the Purple Thunder Step to the extreme, his body transforming into a flash of purple lightning, rushing fiercely towards Ye Chen.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Ye Chen, and brilliant purple lightning burst forth from his fist, pounding towards Ye Chen forcefully.
With a loud bang.
This punch's speed was unbelievably fast, crushing directly onto Ye Chen's body, piercing through his chest.
"What? This useless person is so fragile." The cultivators of the Human Race around were astonished.
Even they hadn't expected Ye Chen to be punched through the chest by Lei Dong.
With such severe injuries, even with mastering the Black Flood Dragon Technique, Ye Chen was bound to die.
"Ha! With such trash, our Brother Lei Dong can naturally kill him in one move. What's so surprising?" The disciples of Thunder Prison Immortal Sect sneered confidently.
"No, that was just a shadow of Ye Chen." At this moment, one strong cultivator couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief.
Ye Chen's chest, which had been punched through by Lei Dong, had no blood pouring out but instead vanished like an illusion.
This indicated that what Lei Dong hit was merely a shadow of Ye Chen.
"What? How is this possible? How could this useless person move so fast?" Even Lei Dong's pupils suddenly contracted, his expression shocked.
He had just pushed the Purple Thunder Step to its limit, a speed enough to crush most Divine Mansion Realm cultivators.
Even if Ye Chen had cultivated Wandering Dragon True Intent to the Third Realm, he couldn't possibly have avoided his attack.
Yet now, Ye Chen had suddenly vanished.
This left him momentarily stunned.
"Your speed is just average; what makes you so arrogant?" At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded next to Lei Dong's ear, filled with mockery.
The owner of the voice was surprisingly Ye Chen.
Somehow, his body had already appeared behind Lei Dong, brandishing the Golden Autumn Sword, slashing towards Lei Dong's head.
"No, it's impossible that this useless person is faster than Brother Lei Dong."
"No, Brother Lei Dong, be careful." The disciples of Thunder Prison Immortal Sect froze with expressions of shock and disbelief, their eyes wide with astonishment.
They couldn't believe that Ye Chen, whom they thought of as useless, was faster than their Brother Lei Dong.
This was nothing short of a fairytale.
"You think you, a mere useless person, can harm me? That's just wishful thinking, Thunder Scale Shield." Lei Dong, after a brief shock, instantly regained his composure.
Buzz!
In the next moment, a Purple Gold Shield, about a yard wide, flew out from Lei Dong's body, positioning itself in front of him, covered in scales.
With a loud clang.
Ye Chen's Golden Autumn Sword struck the shield, sending sparks flying, accompanied by a thunderous roar.
Ultimately, his attack was blocked by the shield.
However, Lei Dong's body was also blasted back dozens of yards by the immense counterforce, looking extremely embarrassed.
"It's the Purple Scale Shield."
"Ye Chen, this useless person, actually forced Brother Lei Dong to use the Purple Scale Shield. Even in death, he can claim this as a prideful moment." The disciples of Thunder Prison Immortal Sect's faces turned incredibly grim.
The Purple Scale Shield was a Top Grade Magical Artifact, its value immeasurable.
Even Lei Dong had to spend considerable effort to obtain the Purple Scale Shield.
After all, unlike Ye Chen, who specialized in cultivating physical strength, Lei Dong needed a strong defensive artifact.
The Purple Scale Shield was specifically used for defense.
Without the Purple Scale Shield, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"What? This useless person actually forced Lei Dong back, how can his speed be faster than Lei Dong's?" Lin Xi's jaw dropped wide open as if she had swallowed a bunch of dead flies.
If not witnessed with her own eyes, she would not believe it.
"A Secret Treasure, it must be the power of a Secret Treasure. It seems that this useless person's Secret Treasure not only enhances his physical power but also boosts his speed. Otherwise, there's no way his speed could compare to Lei Dong's." Lu Xuan said coldly, eyes full of contempt.
In her view, Ye Chen's real strength was nothing remarkable, not even matching up to Lin Ya.
His strength came from having enough Secret Treasures.
Without those Secret Treasures, not to mention Lei Dong, even Lin Ya would easily crush him.
Thus, this useless person was not admirable at all.
