Chapter 216: The Hundred-Level Powerhouses at Beast Suppression Pass
"Today, we will represent all the humans of the continent and erase you!"
"Sea Demon Whale King Ye Wen! Do you dare to step forward and fight!" Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong shouted from the high walls, attempting to provoke Ye Wen into a confrontation.
Since ancient times, before a battle between two armies, it was common for the leaders of both sides to engage in a one-on-one duel. This practice is commonly known as a "general's duel."
The outcome of such a duel directly affects the morale of both armies. If one general is defeated, killed, or forced to flee, the impact on the army's momentum and spirit is immense. The winning side's morale skyrockets, while the losing side's fighting strength weakens.
Ye Wen didn't know where Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong suddenly found the courage to challenge him. Had they forgotten the brutal lesson from their last encounter in the Pope's Hall? He knew there must be something more to this, but he wanted to see what they were up to. Ye Wen smiled and stepped forward, "Heh, Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, have you forgotten the lesson from the last time?"
"Fine! I'm curious, where does your confidence come from?"
Ye Wen immediately took to the air, flying towards the high walls. When he got within two to three hundred meters, he stopped.
He was no longer the same person who had fought fiercely in the Pope's Hall with his soul beasts.
Now, he possessed combat strength that was almost on par with a third-level God. No matter what tricks they had up their sleeves, all would be meaningless in the face of absolute power.
"Go ahead," Xuanlong's voice reached Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong through soul power.
In the next second, an invisible force emanated from Xuanlong, entering both Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong's bodies.
Soon, their aura began to rise, reaching a level close to that of a divine official.
Although the energy was subtle, Ye Wen sensed Xuanlong's presence within the Beast Suppression Pass.
"Hmm?"
Ye Wen was shocked. He could feel the presence of a terrifying human!
A hundred-level, god-level powerhouse!!
There was a hundred-level powerhouse in the Beast Suppression Pass!
Without divine power, this was just an ordinary divine official-level powerhouse who had reached a hundred-level.
"How is this possible? How can there be a hundred-level human powerhouse in the Beast Suppression Pass?" Ye Wen's expression changed, his heart filled with astonishment.
It wasn't that he feared the other party—at his current strength, a hundred-level powerhouse was insignificant. What he was concerned about was why such an existence appeared in the mortal realm!
This made no sense.
On the Douluo Continent, whether soul beasts or humans, it was almost impossible to break through to a hundred-level without divine power. Both Ye Wen and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm were absolute exceptions.
Humans either became gods through faith or created their own divine positions to break through to a hundred-level, but such god-level powerhouses who had reached a hundred-level purely through effort, without divine power, were almost nonexistent.
Moreover, if such a powerhouse existed, why had it never appeared until now?
"What exactly is going on? Where did this hundred-level powerhouse come from?" Ye Wen thought to himself.
But he realized one thing—Spirit Hall must have suddenly agreed to join forces with the two empires to start the war between humans and soul beasts because of this hidden god-level powerhouse in the Beast Suppression Pass!
Ye Wen had to find out the origin of this person!
"Ye Wen! Prepare to die!!"
At this moment, under the influence of Xuanlong's divine power, Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu jumped off the high walls and charged at Ye Wen.
"Bibi Dong! Qian Daoliu! Are you seeking death?! Do you think that, with this power that doesn't belong to you, you can match me?!" Ye Wen released his semi-divine artifact, the Eight-Pointed Plum Blossom Hammer. In that moment, a terrifying force rose around him!
It was already close to the combat strength of a third-level God!
Therefore, even in his half-human form, his power was still terrifying. However, he didn't use all his strength; he intentionally held back, only using enough power to counter Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu.
"Die!!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ye Wen smashed toward Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu. Two powerful forces collided, shaking the entire continent.
Pshhh!
"Ahhh~!!"
"How... How is this possible!!!"
Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu both spat out blood simultaneously, gravely injured by the strike. They crashed into the walls of the Beast Suppression Pass.
The terrifying force caused their bodies to break through the thick walls, creating two massive holes.
"Pope Your Highness!!"
"High Elder!!"
Everyone from Spirit Hall was stunned, extremely worried, and shouted in panic.
"Hmm? This guy's strength seems to be stronger than I imagined!" Xuanlong, with a slight frown, still smiled confidently. "But it seems that's all he's capable of."
"Damn!!"
"Has the Sea Demon Whale King's strength increased again?"
Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu struggled to stand. Under the influence of the divine power from Xuanlong, they had been heavily wounded by Ye Wen's single strike? This left them shocked and fearful.
"Heh, do you think my strength has stagnated?" Ye Wen sneered, then locked his gaze onto Xuanlong, hiding behind the wall. "Hey! The one hiding inside, stop hiding and come out. A hundred-level human!"
"Hehehe!"
"Hehehehahaha!"
Laughter echoed from within the Beast Suppression Pass as Xuanlong revealed himself, having realized that Ye Wen had already sensed him, so there was no need to remain hidden and attempt a sneak attack.
Being able to heavily wound Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu with a single blow confirmed that the soul beast in front of them was likely truly a divine official-level powerhouse.
Trying to sneak attack was pointless. If he didn't personally strike and kill him directly, he probably wouldn't be able to do it.
But even though Ye Wen's strength had reached the divine official level, Xuanlong was still full of confidence. Even at the divine official level, there were differences in strength.
The weaker divine officials could easily be killed by a third-level God, while the stronger ones were barely able to match a third-level God.
Xuanlong, being an early divine official, wasn't the strongest, but he was definitely in the mid-to-upper range of power and had absolute confidence in himself.
"Not bad, not bad! You're quite impressive."
The next second, Xuanlong stopped hiding and appeared in front of Ye Wen.
