Chapter 304

Under the cover of night, a figure rushed over rapidly, their silhouette constantly elongated and distorted by the firelight.

They raised a hand in a grasping motion, and the space around Ye Lin seemed to freeze in that instant. Strands of pitch-black energy transformed into long whips, lunging directly toward Ye Lin to tear him apart. Faintly, one could even hear the wailing of evil winds.

An expert reveals their skill with a single move; judging by the fluctuations of this figure's attack, this was clearly a high-level job-changer, at least level 80 or above!

Just as that black energy was about to strangle Ye Lin, a majestic dragon roar erupted, shattering the black energy into nothingness.

Only then did Ye Lin clearly see the appearance of the attacker: a short, stout middle-aged man, barely over 1.6 meters tall, with rolls of fat so thick they nearly burst his suit. His standard upturned nose even revealed a tuft of black nose hair.

Seeing his enraged strike blocked by Chen Long, the short, stout man narrowed his eyes, a hidden fury glinting in the slits squeezed shut by his fat.

"Lord Chen Long, what is the meaning of this? My Heaven Capital Arena has contributed quite a lot of benefits to your Xie family every year!"

"Today's events are not the will of the Xie family. It is this guy acting on his own accord. He has no relationship with my Xie family... However, you cannot touch him right now," Chen Long explained.

The short, stout man was stunned for a moment, then sneered repeatedly.

"Lord Chen Long! Do you even hear what you're saying? I respect you, but you seem to be taking me, Jiao Jiao Bai Bai, for a fool! This guy burned down my Heaven Capital Arena, and you won't let me touch him, yet you claim this has nothing to do with the Xie family?"

Chen Long: "......"

"That is the truth. Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Chen Long couldn't be bothered to waste more words. He had never had any good feelings toward this Jiao Jiao Bai Bai. Come to think of it, the torture he suffered as a 'Demon Child' was all thanks to this Jiao Jiao Bai Bai before him!

"Chen Long, why are you wasting your breath on him? He's just bullying you because you're a man of culture!"

"Great Wilderness... no, wait, Imperial Gold Spear!"

Ye Lin didn't hesitate; he thrust his spear straight toward Jiao Jiao Bai Bai.

Seeing Ye Lin attack without warning, a flicker of envy flashed deep in Chen Long's eyes. Wasn't this exactly what he had always wanted to do but never dared?

"You little beast, seeking death!"

Jiao Jiao Bai Bai cursed. He feared Chen Long, but he certainly didn't fear Ye Lin!

"Darkness Imperial Heaven Shield!"

A thick surge of dark energy poured out from his body, rapidly condensing into a black energy shield before him.

The surface of the shield swirled with gloomy light, swallowing all surrounding illumination, as if it could withstand any attack.

Yet, the moment the Imperial Gold Spear landed on the shield, that seemingly impenetrable barrier was like butter meeting a red-hot blade, easily pierced through by the spear!

"How is this possible?"

Jiao Jiao Bai Bai's expression changed wildly. He hadn't expected such a young-looking guy to have the strength to break his defense!

He tried to dodge the spearhead, but Ye Lin pulled back with immense force, slamming the shaft of the Imperial Gold Spear into Jiao Jiao Bai Bai's chest and sending him flying.

Jiao Jiao Bai Bai's round body flew like a giant football, crashing into the sea of fire within the Heaven Capital Arena, only to be scorched and come charging back out, his suit burned to tatters.

He tried to extinguish the flames on his body, but the purple-red fire was bizarrely persistent; no matter what Jiao Jiao Bai Bai tried, he couldn't put it out.

Helpless, he had to discard all his clothing, leaving only a pair of boxer shorts, looking like a refugee beggar.

"I will definitely make you die without a burial place today!"

Jiao Jiao Bai Bai's rage was fully ignited. As the mastermind behind the Heaven Capital Arena, when had he ever been this wretched?

Not only was his arena burned down tonight, but he himself had been reduced to such a state; if he didn't kill Ye Lin, he would never be able to show his face in Kyoto again!

"Kill me? Let's make a bet. Let's bet on whether you can even scratch me. If I win, you take my surname, Ye. If you win, I'll take your surname, Jiao!" Ye Lin sneered.

Jiao Jiao Bai Bai shook his head repeatedly: "No! I don't do that stuff with men!"

Ye Lin: "???"

"Enough nonsense, I want your life today!"

Jiao Jiao Bai Bai roared, his rolls of fat trembling. As his short, thick fingers moved in a rapid seal, dark energy gathered around him, roaring like evil spirits.

"Darkness Annihilation God!"

A massive black skull charged toward Ye Lin. This skull seemed to have crawled out from the depths of the abyss; the moment it appeared, it distorted everything around it, emitting an extremely oppressive aura.

Yet Ye Lin was not afraid at all, instead smiling brilliantly.

"Brother Chen Long, I'm going to go die now."

"You ****! I'll * your **! You BYD!"

Chen Long felt his vision go dark. He couldn't remember the last time he had experienced such intense emotional fluctuations.

Ever since becoming one of the Twelve Zodiac Guards, Chen Long had thought his state of mind had reached the level of remaining calm even if Mount Tai collapsed before him. Only after meeting Ye Lin did he realize his emotional stability was still lacking.

"Nine Revolutions Dragon Soaring Transformation!"

Chen Long flashed forward, blocking directly in front of Ye Lin, and pushed his palms out. A golden dragon phantom surged out, roaring to the heavens and smashing the black skull to pieces.

In an instant, gold and dark energy intertwined, erupting with dazzling light in the night sky of Kyoto, making the Heaven Capital Arena as bright as day.

Chen Long's strike was measured perfectly, just enough to neutralize Jiao Jiao Bai Bai's attack without harming him.

But Chen Long forgot that he had an 'old fox' beside him.

A figure appeared like a ghost before Jiao Jiao Bai Bai.

"Forbidden Spell — Burning Reincarnation!"

Blood-red flames ignited on Ye Lin's body, and he activated his Dragon Bloodline. With the dual amplification, Ye Lin's strength attribute soared to a terrifying value!

"Ye Lin, stop!" Chen Long's heart jumped into his throat, and he rushed over to intercept Ye Lin.

He hated Jiao Jiao Bai Bai and wanted to kill him, but that was just a thought! The consequences of killing Jiao Jiao Bai Bai were something even he, Chen Long, couldn't bear.

It was like how people often think, 'It would be great if I could rob a bank,' but if someone actually called you to go rob one, would you really go?

Unfortunately, it was already too late. The Imperial Gold Spear was like an arrow released from a bow, striking directly at Jiao Jiao Bai Bai's head.

Jiao Jiao Bai Bai widened his squinted eyes in terror, attempting to gather strength to struggle, but Ye Lin gave him no chance. The Imperial Gold Spear tore through the very space along its path, and the moment it pierced Jiao Jiao Bai Bai's head, his fat skull exploded! Red and white matter splattered everywhere.

Chen Long's footsteps faltered, his face turning ashen. He hadn't expected Ye Lin to be so decisive—killing the moment he said he would!

At this moment, only one thought remained in his mind: It's over!

One had to know that the Heaven Capital Arena was a massive money-printing machine, generating extremely substantial daily profits, and Jiao Jiao Bai Bai would take the lion's share of the earnings to grease palms and build connections.

If it weren't for that, how could a place like the Heaven Capital Arena have stood tall in Kyoto for so long?

Jiao Jiao Bai Bai's death would bring extremely troublesome consequences; it was equivalent to cutting off many people's financial paths.

Ye Lin noticed Chen Long's emotional instability and hurriedly offered comfort.

"Brother Chen Long, it's okay now. The bad guy has been beaten to death by me. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Thanks to Brother Chen Long's strike, otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance for a one-hit kill."

"You helped me so much; if that old dog Xie Hong finds out, won't he be angry? Unlike me, I only know how to feel sorry for you, Brother~"
