At this critical moment——

Clang!

A sword cry suddenly sounded.

A pale sword shadow suddenly came from nowhere and pierced Shen Jinling's eyebrows!

"!!"

Shen Jinling suddenly frowned, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he punched.

boom!!

The pale sword shadow was blown away by the terrifying fist he swung.

It was at this moment that the heavy pressure he had originally placed on Kong Zizuo disappeared instantly.

He looked down and saw that Kong Zizuo's figure had disappeared from under his feet!

Shen Jinlin suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction where the pale sword shadow was flying back.

There, I saw a young man in black robe raising his hand to catch the pale sword shadow.

His other arm was supporting Confucius Zhuo, who looked painful.

"You...why are you here..."

Enduring the pain in his body, Kong Zizhao looked at Ye Qingchen's side face and asked aloud.

"I was just passing by and saw you being bullied by them, so I took action."

Ye Qingchen replied concisely and concisely, then glanced at his right hand that was completely broken and bleeding.

"They took your ring away?"

Mentioning this, a look of shame and anger suddenly appeared on Kong Zizuo's face.

But soon, he said aloud: "Go quickly, you alone...can't even defeat any of them."

"You don't have to worry about me anymore... With your talent and potential, your survival is even more important to the Tianhe Sect!"

With that said, Kong Zizuo struggled to retract his arm that hit Ye Qingchen's shoulder.

Ye Qingchen was stunned for a moment.

He still remembered that among the geniuses of the inner sect who did not believe in him, Confucius Zhuo was one of them.

Unexpectedly, you would completely change your mind right now?

However, he did not let Confucius Zhuo take his arm back, and still pressed it on his shoulder: "We are all disciples of the Tianhe Sect. I have no reason to leave you alone."

"If the sect master knew that I would not save you until death, I'm afraid he would beat me to pieces."

"you……"

Hearing this sentence, Confucius could not help but be stunned.

Recalling his previous attitude towards Ye Qingchen, he gradually felt guilty in his heart.

Fortunately, Ye Qingchen didn't care about this at all.

His eyes fell on the ring in Shen Jinling's hand.

Shen Jinling noticed his gaze and slowly raised the ring in his hand.

"You want this?"

"That's right." Ye Qingchen nodded and smiled slightly: "Can you return it to my senior brother?"

"If you want to take it back, then rely on your own strength."

As Shen Jinling spoke, he released his spiritual sense and detected Ye Qingchen's breath.

The moment he detected Ye Qingchen's breath, his brows moved, and a deep doubt appeared between his brows.

"This guy... is actually only at the tenth level of Mortal Transformation Realm?"

"Although judging from his appearance, he is definitely not very old, or even very young."

"If you have cultivated to the tenth level of Mortal Realm at such an age, your talent must be quite impressive."

"But with such a level of cultivation, the leader of the Tianhe Sect dares to let him come to the Dark Cloud Battlefield to compete for opportunities?!"

"Is there a hidden secret in this?"

In a moment, Shen Jinling had many speculations in his heart.

Ye Qingchen didn't care what he was thinking.

He gently put Confucius down.

"No!" Kong Zizuo quickly stopped him: "Don't be impulsive!"

"With your current strength, provoking them is simply courting death!"

"Don't worry, I'm just helping you get back what belongs to you."

Ye Qingchen smiled slightly, then stood up and walked towards Shen Jinling and others.

"Hey, this guy looks very cool."

Hong Tingyi laughed twice and was about to take a few steps to meet Ye Qingchen in person.

But Shen Jinling raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't move, I'll give him a try."

Hearing this, Hong Tingyi showed a look of surprise on his face: "Isn't it right? With your strength, wouldn't it be disrespectful to test him personally?!"

"It doesn't matter, the feeling he gave me was a little weird."

Shen Jinling said calmly: "With his cultivation level, it is naturally impossible for him to pose any threat to me."

"However, I need to figure out where this weird feeling comes from."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a strange stinging pain coming from the soul space.

This made him suddenly alert, and he quickly used his soul power to build a barrier to protect his soul space.

But it was this moment of attention that shifted.

He suddenly felt that the ring in his hand was missing!

What followed was the oncoming pale sword light!

"Senior Brother Shen!!"

A cry of surprise sounded.

Shen Jinling quickly came to his senses, raised his palm and quickly clenched it into a fist, and smashed it down hard!

boom!!

The pale sword light was smashed into pieces.

But some of the scattered sword energy scratched Shen Jinling's face!

Shen Jinling suddenly froze there.

And Ye Qingchen has reappeared at the same place.

He glanced at the ring in his hand and placed it in front of Confucius Zhuo: "Here, this is your ring."

Confucius stared blankly at the ring in front of him, his eyes full of shock.

He just saw the whole process clearly.

But because of this, he was even more unclear about how Ye Qingchen did it!

He only saw Ye Qingchen's body suddenly exuding an extremely powerful soul power.

It was so powerful that even his soul trembled violently!

Then he saw Shen Jinling's body seemed to be stiff for a moment.

Then a thunder shadow mixed with colorful firelight flashed past.

The ring in his hand was snatched away instantly!

Even Ye Qingchen was so bold that he wanted to take advantage of that moment and kill Shen Jinling with one sword!

But unfortunately, Shen Jinling finally came to his senses and blocked the fatal sword.

This scene happened between lightning and flint, but it was particularly thrilling.

Even Hong Tingyi, who was laughing and joking before, turned pale after witnessing the scene just now.

He couldn't imagine that if the sword just came towards him, he would have to give full account here!

"I didn't expect...the person the entire Tianhe Sect was betting on was not Ren Tongzhao...it turned out to be you."

Shen Jinling wiped away the blood from the blood stains on his face with his fingertips, staring at Ye Qingchen with cold eyes, and no emotion could be heard in his tone.

"The power of your soul can actually have an impact on me... This is extremely rare in the entire fairy world!"
