Crack, crack.
Above the Zodiac Battle Platform, Ye Chen's fists clenched tightly, producing a piercing sound as even his nails dug into his flesh.
It's worth noting that his body's defense power was now comparable to that of a Tier Two Demon Beast, yet his nails still pierced his flesh.
This alone showed how furious he was, as if the anger were about to burst from his chest.
However, faced with Ye Chen's rage, Duanmu Xiong remained indifferent, the playful smile at the corner of his mouth growing even more pronounced. He gazed at Ye Chen with mockery, saying in a contemptuous tone, "Do you really think a waste like you, incapable of awakening your bloodline, can make any waves? Believe it or not, I could cripple you right here, ensuring you never rise again."
Although he had promised the Celestial Flame Peak Master not to kill Ye Chen during the competition,
he could still destroy Ye Chen's dantian, reducing him to a cripple for life.
