King of Creation Chapter 2166 - 2151: The Immortal Bear King’s Bounty

The Blood River traverses the entire Blood River Fortress, over a hundred miles wide at its broadest and less than ten miles at its narrowest, yet its waters are turbulent and deep, with the force of a rushing river.

Ye Zhen’s army was retreating, while the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun’s army was in pursuit, with the distance between the two forces decreasing.

Finally, as they approached the skies above the Blood River, the distance between the two armies shrank to less than a thousand miles.

At this rate, in no more than fifteen minutes, the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun’s army would catch up to Ye Zhen’s forces and launch an attack.

"Ye Zhen, stop running!"

"If you’re still a man, then face me head-on and fight to the end!"

"Rest assured, I won’t take advantage of you. You have sixty thousand troops, and I will use sixty thousand as well!" Seeing that he was catching up to Ye Zhen, the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun was in high spirits.

Standing atop the winged beast, he shouted towards Ye Zhen from afar, his voice infused with spiritual power, echoing a thousand miles away.

Riding the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, Ye Zhen broke away from the main force, standing afar, "Your Highness Seventh Prince, I still remember your appearance like a stray dog in the Demon Soul Realm, could it be you didn’t get enough that day and want to be a stray dog again today?"

Ye Zhen’s voice resonated like thunder across the world, immediately wiping off the smile from the face of the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun.

"Things are different now. Back then in the Demon Soul Realm, it was your territory. Now, we’re in the Primordial Continent, perfect for a fair fight."

The fact of the defeat in the Demon Soul Realm was laid bare by Ye Zhen, and the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun’s face was burning, that defeat was a fact, and he had no face to argue.

But as a prince and commander, such things must be explained a little in front of the army to avoid damaging his reputation too much.

So he claimed the previous loss was due to being on Ye Zhen’s home ground, which was a somewhat acceptable excuse for his past failure.

"A fair fight? Is there truly fairness in this world?" As he spoke, Ye Zhen pointed to the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun’s army, "The individual strength of your troops is twice or even more than that of my lads, let alone the numbers, so where is the fairness?"

Hearing this, the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun burst into laughter, his voice like clanging metal, tearing through the sky, "But the problem is, do you have a choice?"

Hearing such an helpless statement from Ye Zhen, the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun felt immensely satisfied.

"Indeed, do I have a choice?"

"Since there’s no choice, then we can only fight with all we have, relying solely on our skills!"

After saying this, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten immediately turned its head, preparing for the military formation.

However, just as Ye Zhen turned back, the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun’s eye flashed, and with a ripple in the void, he appeared in front of Ye Zhen and launched a punch at him.

"Ye Zhen, since you’re here, let’s have a good match, the fighting below can be left to the generals below," said the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun.

A thrilling dragon roar echoed from Ye Zhen’s Black Water Mystic Palace, and the Dragon Soul Armor instantly covered Ye Zhen’s body, and simultaneously, Ye Zhen puffed out his chest, meeting the punch of the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun head-on without dodging.

In that instant, the sword light of the Purple Spirit Immortal Sword clashed fiercely with the fist entwined with numerous Bone-attached Poison Flames, blasting towards the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun.

The Seventh Crown Prince Congyun’s eyes emitted a black glow.

"Head-to-head? This prince likes it!"

At once, the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun also puffed out his chest, facing Ye Zhen’s attack, and a dazzling earthy yellow radiance burst from Ye Zhen’s body.

In an instant, the two exchanged hundreds of sword and fist attacks, with thunderous blows that sent ripples through the void like blossoming lotus flowers.

Veiling the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun’s body was a High Grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasure with a more condensed aura than last time, boasting unparalleled defense.

The earthy yellow spirit light radiating from Ye Zhen’s body astonished the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun.

"A Bear Skin Heavy Armor radiating the aura of the Bear Clan Great Saint? Did you strip it from the Bear Clan Giant Spirit Saint?"

"Did the Primordial Spirit of the Giant Spirit Saint return alive?"

The Seventh Crown Prince Congyun’s exclamations naturally led Ye Zhen to some possibilities, enough to make some judgments.

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun nodded, sighing, "It seems the Immortal Bear King’s wish to use your head as a spittoon is impossible to achieve."

"In the Taimeng Demon Realm, the Immortal Bear King has already issued a bounty for your head - whoever delivers your head will be rewarded with a hundred cities and granted the title of Great Saint."

"Is it just the Immortal Bear King? Hasn’t the Ten-thousand-year Bear Emperor issued a bounty?"

Ye Zhen sneered with disdain, "It seems the Eastern Azure Dragon Emperor has also placed a bounty on me."

On hearing this, the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun smirked, indeed that was the case.

With many debts, there’s no worry; adding another bounty from the Immortal Bear King seemed to be nothing to Ye Zhen.

"It looks like many are eager to kill you!" As far as he knew, there were also the Great Clan Leader of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, the Wind-Thunder Ancient Monkey King of the Monkey Clan, and even some strong individuals within the Human Clan, including himself, that aimed to put an end to Ye Zhen.

For him, the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, he had seen countless mediocre people and many incredibly talented geniuses, but someone like Ye Zhen, who could make the top figures of the Human, Demon, and Monster clans want him dead was indeed rare.

If possible, he wanted to sit down with Ye Zhen and talk about how he managed to do this.

Of course, if such a situation arose, it would be with Ye Zhen’s severed head in one hand, drinking, while conversing with Ye Zhen’s Primordial Spirit as it burned under the Demon Fire.

The thought of that scenario was simply exhilarating.

"But I’ve always lived comfortably!" Ye Zhen shrugged with great self-satisfaction.

"Yes, that was before!"

The Seventh Crown Prince Congyun nodded affirmatively, "Your good fortune ends today! This time I am well-prepared, unlike the last time."

"Is that so? Then let’s try!"

Almost at the same time, a terrifying Spirit Explosion erupted between them once more.

In just a few dozen breaths, the two had exchanged countless moves, and it seemed neither had gained any advantage.

Not only had neither gained an advantage, but both sides were also withholding their true strength.

Ye Zhen hadn’t used the All Living Beings’ Will Power or the Little Demon, his great weapon, while the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun hadn’t used his Innate Divine Ability from the Demon Emperor Lineage, including the two Dao Realm Demon Lords with elusive auras covering the battlefield behind him.

One of the Dao Realm Demon Lords already had an aura as high as Late Dao Realm, and even standing still, the terrifying spirit pressure rolled out like raging waves, spreading in all directions.

These were the demon experts sent by the Demon Emperor to protect the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun.

The Demon Clan’s princes, with their precious Demon Emperor Bloodline, could fight and even kill each other among their own.

However, as a precious Demon Emperor Bloodline, they could never die at the hands of outsiders, especially not humans.

Otherwise, it would be a disgrace to the entire Demon Clan.

To prevent any unforeseen events, the Demon Emperor specially assigned two experts to protect and observe the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun.

They serve as protectors, inspectors, and recorders as well.

They will objectively and unemotionally report all of the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun’s performance in this battle to the Demon Emperor for viewing.

Acting as inspectors sent by the Demon Emperor, they will intervene only if the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun’s life is in danger.

As for the reason for Ye Zhen’s reservation, it was even simpler.

With the Seventh Crown Prince present, the elite Core Guards behind him wouldn’t move.

In other words, as long as Ye Zhen and the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun continued their standoff here, Ye Zhen could tie down the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun and the two formidable Dao Realm individuals behind him, as well as the elite Core Guards among the Crown Prince’s standby.

"The two armies have begun their clash!"

Suddenly, Ye Zhen and the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun, as if telepathically synchronized, simultaneously halted and looked down.

On the banks of the Blood River, the Heavenly Wave Army of North Sea and the reinforcements brought by the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun began their engagement!
