Chapter 737: Array Domain Hidden Realm

Jun Chuanxiong's exclamation caused Zhou Yanyan's expression to change.

With her simple mind and single-minded focus on the sword, she would never have imagined that such underhanded tactics existed in the world.

But her reaction was swift; as the personal disciple of a Peak Master, she naturally lacked no means to deal with alchemists.

Zhou Yanyan immediately took out a smooth, round Detoxification Pill and placed it under her pink, fragrant tongue.

"You despicable fellow!"

Provoked, Zhou Yanyan's sword strike came even more fiercely, slashing straight down.

Ye Lin brought out the Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron to block, but he was still shaken by the strike until blood sprayed from his mouth; under the ravaging sword Qi, several sword marks deep enough to see bone appeared on his body.

"Jun Chuanxiong, I curse your ancestors!"

Man Yin's muscles bulged all over his body, and without another word, he prepared to challenge Jun Chuanxiong to a duel, but the other Peak Masters hurriedly acted as peacemakers to hold him back.

After all, so many disciples were watching; as teachers, if they were going to fight, they should do it in private.

"Jun Chuanxiong, what you did was indeed a bit ungentlemanly." Situ Qi also couldn't help but frown.

With their keen eyes, they could naturally see that if Jun Chuanxiong hadn't suddenly spoken up to warn her, the simple-minded Zhou Yanyan would likely have been taken down by Ye Lin's drugs.

"My fault, my mouth was too fast just now; I guarantee I won't say another word from now on."

Jun Chuanxiong's old face flushed red, and he felt incredibly ashamed at this moment.

Having lived a life of no regrets, this was the first time he felt a tinge of guilt toward Ye Lin.

There was no help for it; the Life-Severing Sword was too important to him—it was a Primordial Treasure forged from the materials of a Saint's weapon.

If he lost this thing, Jun Chuanxiong would wake up in the middle of the night just to slap himself and call himself a damn fool.

At the same time, he realized how rash he had been to agree to that bet earlier.

It was true that Ye Lin's realm and combat power were lower than Zhou Yanyan's, but that didn't stop this kid from being devious enough!

If Zhou Yanyan faced him, there was a real possibility she might capsize in the gutter.

But since things had reached this point, Jun Chuanxiong could only pin all his hopes on Zhou Yanyan.

If he opened his mouth one more time, let alone the other Peak Masters looking down on him, he would look down on himself.

Ye Lin's blood splattered across the arena.

Zhou Yanyan's previous strike had been heavy; if he only had one life, he should have lost the ability to fight by now.

"Still not admitting defeat?"

Zhou Yanyan also saw that Ye Lin was severely injured and did not want to continue the fight.

The Nine Peaks Grand Competition was not a life-or-death struggle; if fellow disciples fought to the death at every turn, the sect's disciples would likely be wiped out before long.

"Originally, I thought that if I lost, I lost; I still have one chance to challenge, so I can still enter the top ten."

Ye Lin wiped the blood from his mouth, a smirk curling at the corners of his lips.

"But looking at it now, Old Man Jun seems to really want you to win, even going so far as to speak up to warn you—because of that, I suddenly don't want to lose anymore."

Hearing this, Zhou Yanyan frowned and couldn't help but speak.

"You are already severely injured and have long since lost the power to fight; why struggle?"

Ye Lin stood straight, his face showing no sign of being moved.

"Does being severely injured mean I have no power to fight? Then you underestimate me too much. To tell you the truth, I am actually an immortal being!"

"An immortal being?" Zhou Yanyan's pupils shrank sharply.

"That's right! Since I was born, I have never died; if I'm not an immortal being, what am I?" Wisdom flickered in Ye Lin's eyes.

Ye Lin's words silenced everyone in the Immortal Cloud Sect.

He hasn't died since he was born, so he is an immortal being?

It makes so much sense, but why does it feel like something is wrong?

"Following that logic, does that mean we are all immortal beings?" one Immortal Cloud Sect disciple scratched his head.

Zhou Yanyan was also somewhat silent.

She vaguely realized that the person in front of her might not be quite right in the head.

"Junior Brother Ye, you have strayed from the path; turn back before it's too late, do not continue to make mistakes," Zhou Yanyan advised.

Hearing this, Ye Lin silently took out a low-grade Immortal Source Stone and tossed it in front of Zhou Yanyan.

"What is the meaning of this?" Zhou Yanyan asked with a frown.

"Those who criticize me in the marketplace and whose words reach my ears shall receive a low-tier reward."

Zhou Yanyan: "..."

Everyone in the Immortal Cloud Sect: "..."

"Hopeless."

Seeing this, Zhou Yanyan did not want to waste any more breath on Ye Lin.

"Since you won't admit defeat, don't blame me for continuing to strike!"

"Boundless Flowing Clouds Form a Sword Array, Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers Suppress Evil Souls!"

The clouds filling the sky turned into thin threads, condensing upon the *Chen Cangmang* in Zhou Yanyan's hand.

All the patterns and veins on the sword body shone like a galaxy, and even sword light erupted from Zhou Yanyan's eyes.

The majestic sword intent seemed as if it would tear the entire arena to shreds!

This strike was clearly even more terrifying than the last one.

Zhou Yanyan flew up, and a magnificent landscape manifested behind her.

She thrust her sword out; before the blade even arrived, the sharp sword Qi caused the skin on Ye Lin's body to begin cracking inch by inch.

This strike seemed capable of suppressing and killing all evil spirits and wicked souls under heaven!

Ye Lin looked as if he had been scared silly, standing blankly in place, letting the sword strike toward him.

Zhou Yanyan frowned slightly, preparing to retract her sword.

Although she did not like Ye Lin, she would not go so far as to kill him because of it.

But just as the tip of *Chen Cangmang* was about to pierce Ye Lin's throat, Zhou Yanyan suddenly felt the surrounding air become viscous, as if she had fallen into a swamp, and even her movements became sluggish.

Ye Lin revealed a kind smile and asked.

"Senior Sister Zhou, you didn't really think I was just chatting with you because I had nothing better to do, did you?"

"Vast Misty Waves Array, activate!"

"Formless Thunder Fiend Array, activate!"

Two great arrays suddenly rose; without realizing it, Zhou Yanyan had already stepped into the coverage area of both arrays!

Ye Lin had been chatting with Zhou Yanyan just to buy time to set up the arrays.

Zhou Yanyan's strength was too great; in a head-on battle, unless he brought out the Heart Demon Ten Thousand Soul Banner or the Human Emperor Flag in front of everyone, Ye Lin was no match for her.

Therefore, using arrays became the only way Ye Lin could defeat Zhou Yanyan.

The moment the two arrays appeared and trapped Zhou Yanyan.

In an instant, all the Immortal Cloud Sect disciples were in an uproar.

Especially the disciples of the Force Peak, who were completely broken.

Because they, the array cultivators, hadn't even noticed when Ye Lin had set up the arrays, and there were two of them!

Isn't this guy from the Artifact Peak? An artifact refiner setting up arrays this well?

Then what are they, the array disciples, supposed to do? Go learn artifact refining?

Jun Chuanxiong slapped his chair and stood up, glaring fiercely at the Force Peak Master.

"No, buddy, you even taught him a forbidden technique like the Array Domain Hidden Realm? Zheng Tongfei, are you even human?"
