Chapter 1689

When the guards saw Xu Hou in the sky, their eyes were filled with surprise as they heaved a huge sigh of relief.

They had heard about how Zi Chen overtook Long Fei in the previous city to become the number one on the General Leaderboard. After that, he killed the black-armored city lord, which shocked them even more.

It was said that Zi Chen only used one move to kill the city lord.

How could they deal with such a powerful combat strength?

If not for the fact that they had no choice, they really did not want to encounter Zi Chen.

The current Zi Chen could only be dealt with by those powerhouses on the leaderboard.

However, powerhouses on the leaderboard were usually elusive existences. How could it be so easy to encounter them?

Being able to see a powerhouse on the leaderboard, Xu Hou, at such a time, everyone was naturally happy.

Especially when Xu Hou came with killing intent. This killing intent was clearly targeted at Zi Chen.

Xu Hou stopped opposite Zi Chen, blocking Zi Chen's path.

The guards below cheered loudly.

Xu Hou was a powerhouse on the leaderboard of the Imperial Sky Region. He was also a hero of the Imperial Sky Region.

The foreign races had once stopped in front of him, and he led the army to take back the human cities. His prestige in the entire Imperial Sky Region was very high.

Sweeping his gaze across Zi Chen and landing on Lei Long, Xu Hou said indifferently, "I let you run away last time. I didn't expect that you would dare to come here again!"

Hearing that, everyone was in an uproar. Indeed, the rumor that Zi Chen had a conflict with Xu Hou was true.

It was said that Zi Chen could enter the General Leaderboard because he had a head-on confrontation with Xu Hou.

A commotion broke out in the crowd. Zi Chen could kill the black-armored city lord, but could he kill Lord Xu Hou, a powerhouse on the Kill Leaderboard at this level?

If Zi Chen killed Xu Hou, he would be the first existence in history to kill a powerhouse on the Kill Leaderboard.

Zi Chen glanced at Xu Hou with the same gaze and said slowly, "This time, I hope you won't run away!"

"What did you say?" Xu Hou's aura surged as his eyes flashed with killing intent.

"I hope you won't be like a stray dog in the battle later." Zi Chen's tone was still calm.

"You're courting death!" Xu Hou was completely enraged. The surrounding space trembled.

At this moment, the brilliance flickered again. Ye Ming and Wharton appeared behind Xu Hou respectively.

When they saw Wharton, the people behind Zi Chen were all stunned and puzzled.

However, killing intent surged in their eyes when they saw Ye Ming.

"That damnable thing still dares to appear here!" Man Shi gritted his teeth and said.

Ye Ming also saw the group of people. There was arrogance and pride on his face. "You guys really didn't break through!

You haven't broken through, yet you dare to come here and behave atrociously? Should I praise you for your ignorance or for your courage? "

"Realms don't represent everything.

Ye Ming, since you're here today, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death! "Wu Xie replied coldly.

Ye Ming smirked in mockery as killing intent filled his face. "That's exactly what I wanted to say."

Ye Ming was already very excited about breaking through to the 4th rank and becoming a true powerhouse in the Battlefield of Despair.

He did not expect to see Zi Chen and the others here, and they were all at the eighth level. This made Ye Ming feel even more proud and satisfied.

This was a suppression in terms of cultivation level. He had the confidence to deal with any one of them.

Of course … Zi Chen was an exception, because he was Xu Hou's.

Compared to Ye Ming's pride and arrogance, Wharton was much too quiet. He did not say a word after he appeared, remaining silent the entire time.

After seeing Wharton, Zi Chen's expression was as complicated as the others.

The first time he saw Wharton, it was outside Sevenfold City.

When he had just entered this place, Wharton was the one with the highest chance of entering the Leaderboard. It was like a newcomer meeting a famous powerhouse.

At that time, Wharton had saved him.

After that, the Dax tribe attacked. The two met outside the forest and fought side by side, becoming friends in battle.

After taking back the city, Xu Hou was full of enmity towards Zi Chen, who had contributed greatly. Under such circumstances, Wharton chose to avoid him.

On one side was a powerhouse on the Leaderboard, and on the other side was Zi Chen, who had some potential. Under such circumstances, choosing to avoid him was the best choice for Wharton. He did not hold a grudge.

After that, the two of them did not meet again. It was only when the Soul Devouring Race attacked that small world that he saw Wharton and Ye Ming again.

If that was just a coincidence, then now that the two of them had appeared again and stood behind Xu Hou, it was an ironclad fact.

Wharton chose to follow Xu Hou.

Apart from feeling complicated, Zi Chen also felt a trace of disappointment.

After following Xu Hou, he obviously knew about and even participated in Xu Hou's shady business.

Wharton had already lost his conscience by colluding with the foreign races.

Wharton seemed to have guessed Zi Chen's current feelings. He smiled faintly and replied, "Everyone should have goals in life."

Zi Chen said, "It's not wrong to have goals, but you should also have principles."

Wharton said, "Yes, you should have principles.

However, when making a choice, principles are often not the most important thing. "

Zi Chen understood what Wharton meant. In the current world, for many people, their first choice would be benefits.

For Wharton to be able to break through to the ninth level in just a few years, this had a lot to do with Xu Hou, or rather, it had a lot to do with the Wang Family.

This was the benefit that the Wang Family or Xu Hou offered. As long as Wharton agreed, he would completely join them.

Not to mention Wharton, most people would have made such a choice.

The original Wharton should have been filled with righteousness, with a heart that pursued the strong.

However, in the process of becoming strong, he chose a shortcut. This shortcut allowed him to break through quickly, but the premise was that he gave up everything.

Zi Chen was a little disappointed in Wharton, but that was his choice. Zi Chen had no right to interfere.

As for Ye Ming, Zi Chen did not even bother to look at him.

The little bit of friendship between the two had already dissipated after threatening to guard the tomb. When they met again, they could only be enemies.

Zi Chen and Wharton talked. Xu Hou's eyes were fixed on Lei Long, but his face was getting darker and darker.

This was because someone from the Wang Family had already told Xu Hou everything that had happened during this period.

Ranked first on the General Ranking, summoned the Heavenly Thunder Wings, mastered teleportation, and killed the Black Armor City Lord with one strike.

As his face became darker and darker, Xu Hou also frowned.

When he was hired by the Wang Family, he had some understanding of Zi Chen. Now that he heard that Zi Chen killed the Black Armor City Lord with one strike, he knew very well what Zi Chen was relying on.

The Star Illusion Dragon Thrust.

He did not expect this weapon used by a Starry Sky Supreme Sage to have such an extraordinary skill.

His expression became more and more serious. However, this did not mean that he did not have a way to deal with Zi Chen.

"How dare you come here and cause trouble. Die!"

After understanding the cause and effect, Xu Hou did not waste any more time. He just said this sentence and directly attacked.

He clenched his fist and punched at Zi Chen.

The fist was dazzling and bright, tearing through space.

Knowing Zi Chen's attacking methods, Xu Hou did not want to give Zi Chen any chance. He punched with all his strength.

Seeing Xu Hou attack, the crowd burst into cheers.

Gold and silver light shone around Zi Chen's body. The two types of energy appeared in a balanced state.

He swung his fist to meet the attack. Yin and Yang lightning circled around the fist.

"Boom!"

The two fists collided. There was an explosion in the sky. The void suddenly trembled, and a violent energy ripple spread out.

Man Shi and the others retreated again and again. The aftermath of the energy caused their expressions to change instantly.

Xu Hou was indeed an expert on the General Ranking. This attack was too powerful.

As they flew back, Zi Chen also kept retreating. The spreading ripples were in front of him and followed him forward.

And in the midst of the ripples, Xu Hou's body shone. He followed closely and accumulated power again.

Zi Chen, who was retreating, exploded with a dazzling silver light. Amidst the exclamations, he summoned the Heavenly Thunder Wings.

So, his speed became even faster.

In an instant, the distance between the two of them increased. A sheathed long saber appeared in Zi Chen's hand. He instantly drew it.

Eight fused saber lights appeared in a row. Like an open fan, they emitted a bright light and slashed at the violent energy ripples.

"Peng!" "Peng!" …

The sound of explosions continued. Saber lights shattered one after another, and an even stronger force surged out.

After the eight explosions in the sky, Xu Hou turned into a beam of light and rushed out. He punched at Zi Chen's face.

This punch was strong and ruthless.

Zi Chen's expression changed. He raised his hand to block the attack. Yin and Yang energy flowed out of his palm, forming layers of defense.

"Swoosh!"

This punch hit the palm print. However, there was no explosion of energy like before.

On the palm print, the Yin and Yang energy kept rotating in a balanced manner. In the process of rotation, it dissolved the powerful force of the punch.

Xu Hou had a cold expression on his face. With a loud shout, he channeled even more power into his fist light. Then, he shouted, "Explode!"

The word "explode" resounded through the sky. The fist light exploded with a loud bang. Terrifying energy swept out. Zi Chen's body was sent flying by the impact of the energy.

The Yin and Yang defense around him was also constantly dissipating.

Xu Hou knew that he could not give Zi Chen any chance in a battle like this. Once his opponent took out the Star Illusion Dragon Spike, endless trouble would await Xu Hou.

Therefore, when Zi Chen was sent flying, he charged forward again and unleashed another powerful attack.

Explosions constantly sounded in the sky. Xu Hou and Zi Chen turned into streaks of light and clashed.

However, no matter how one looked at it, Xu Hou had the upper hand.

This was because Zi Chen was constantly retreating.

Man Shi and the others watched quietly. They did not show any worry because of Zi Chen's retreat.

Xu Hou became more and more courageous as he fought. He constantly shouted and attacked with full force.

Cheers could be heard from below. They were all cheering for Xu Hou.

As expected, the first on the Ranking of Generals was too far away from the Ranking of Commanders.

Sensing Xu Hou's increasingly fierce and violent attacks, Zi Chen smiled. Blood flowed from his mouth.

The experts on the Ranking of Commanders were indeed powerful.

However, this was the end. After sensing Xu Hou's strength, he decided not to hold back.

"Swoosh!"

With a tap of his foot, his figure disappeared. In the next moment, he appeared thousands of meters away.

Xu Hou coldly glanced at him and charged toward Zi Chen. The killing intent around him did not diminish.

However, when he was halfway there, a look of astonishment appeared on his face. The thought of turning around and fleeing rose in his heart.
