Chapter 1545: Chapter 1540: A Strong Battle Appearance_1 Chapter 1545: Chapter 1540: A Strong Battle Appearance_1 Without showing strength or achieving victory, refuting would be meaningless, like lifting a rock only to drop it on one’s own foot. They could only watch as the momentum shifted towards the Fierce Ghost Sect. Their consolation was that Li Lianfeng arrived safely, giving them a fighting chance against the Fierce Ghost Sect.

However, the Fierce Ghost Sect clearly wouldn’t let the Royal Family off easily. Seeing the tide turning in their favor, Li Huang waved his hand and instructed his subordinates to do something.

In an instant, his subordinates passed on the instructions, and soon after, a few troublemakers appeared among the people below.

It was evident that most of these instigators were arranged by the Fierce Ghost Sect.

However, it was undeniable that the effect was excellent.

“The Royal Family is about to fall. In the future, we shall pledge allegiance to the Fierce Ghost Sect and help them take over the world.”

“The Royal Family is incompetent and oppressive. The Fierce Ghost Sect has stepped up in the name of justice. Following them in the future, we’ll have meat to eat and wine to drink.”

“Follow the Fierce Ghost Sect, overthrow the Royal Family!”

“This is no longer the Royal Family’s world!”

In the blink of an eye, public opinion was almost entirely one-sided. The Royal Family had brought this upon themselves. After all, before the war with the Demon Race, the Royal Family was indeed ambitious, intent on ruling the world and causing trouble for the various forces. Almost all the major forces had been hit by the Royal Family in the past.

If they had been better to the major forces back then, perhaps the situation wouldn’t have turned so quickly. However, the seeds they sowed in the past have now come to fruition.

Li Huang took advantage of the timing to interject, “Elder Xie Yun, Elder Changsheng, it seems that the Royal Family’s capabilities are limited. This one-on-one was initiated by you in a desperate attempt. Now, what’s the result? You’ve lost five of ten rounds already. What will you do for the sixth round? Hahaha, don’t worry and don’t blame me for bullying you. I will only send one person in the Spirit Plate Stage, Jinzun Stage, and Integration Period. With just one person, I can already defeat all the contestants from your Royal Family!”

“You!” Faced with such humiliation, Elder Xie Yun and the Ever-victorious Emperor had veins bulging, wanting to explode.

Li Huang seemed to be unaffected by their angry demeanor and even laughed mockingly, “Hahaha, can’t you help but get angry? Are you two really out of options? It seems that the Royal Family is only capable of so much!”

The more he said that, the more the people below believed that the Royal Family had no options left.

Yang Chen naturally saw this, and although he didn’t want the Royal Family to fall from power, he thought the eccentric and out-of-the-mainstream Fierce Ghost Sect’s reign would be worse.

Now, Yang Chen calmly stepped forward and said directly, “Senior Xie Yun, Senior Changsheng, let me do it!”

“Yang Chen, my friend, if you personally take action, of course it’s good. I hope you will do your best and help us win.” Elder Xie Yun and the Ever-victorious Emperor spoke one after another.

Yang Chen nodded and stepped forward, “For the sixth round, let me, Yang Chen, do it. I might not be very talented, but I’m curious if a Spirit Plate Stage contestant can really defeat me, Yang Chen. I hope the senior from the Fierce Ghost Sect doesn’t make a promise he can’t keep.”

When the conversation ended, Yang Chen immediately stepped forward and stood up.

When Yang Chen stepped forward, many people were taken aback. As a human hero, Yang Chen was already well known.

When Yang Chen stood up, his presence shifted the one-sided momentum.

“Yang Chen, it’s Yang Chen!”

“Has Yang Chen reached the Emperor-Level?”

Many people didn’t understand the Spirit Plate Stage, Jinzun Stage, and beyond. Seeing Yang Chen able to participate in the battle, they thought that he had reached the Emperor Level and began shouting.

“Has Yang Chen become an Emperor-Level and sided with the Royal Family?”

“If Yang Chen stands with the Royal Family, our sect will too! Yang Chen was once our hero!”

“I’ll follow Yang Chen’s decision!”

“Me too!”

In an instant, many forces that had previously thought the Royal Family was outdated and wanted to pledge allegiance to a new master were swayed. This scene took even Elder Xie Yun and the Ever-victorious Emperor by surprise. Who could have imagined that Yang Chen’s influence would be so great? He had only just taken a stand, and he had not yet won for the Royal Family, but many forces had already switched sides again.

Of course, this made Elder Xie Yun and the Ever-victorious Emperor happy, while the expressions of Luo Xu and Li Huang turned even colder.

They were furious with the intent of extinguishing Yang Chen’s enthusiasm. However, thinking about how Wu Changkong had been defeated and escaped from Yang Chen, they couldn’t help but hesitate.

“Why haven’t the two seniors chosen someone to fight yet?” Yang Chen asked unhurriedly.

He knew very well that the Fierce Ghost Sect was struggling.

Li Huang and Luo Xu knew his strength very well.

Li Huang spoke sternly, “Kid surnamed Yang, don’t be too arrogant. I’m curious about what skills and abilities you have. Ma Hui, go and test this kid to see what he can do!”

Upon hearing Li Huang’s words, Ma Hui leaped out. He had already secured two Spirit Plate Stage wins for the Fierce Ghost Sect, and this would be his third battle, full of morale. Naturally, he was excited to face Yang Chen.

“Kid, running into me at the Spirit Plate Stage is just bad luck for you,” Ma Hui sneered, dressed in the Fierce Ghost Sect’s Taoist robe and similarly skinny as a skeleton.

Seeing Ma Hui provoking him, Yang Chen didn’t get angry. Instead, he said, “Is that so? I’m curious to see how unlucky I am.”

Ma Hui licked his lips, with consecutive victories, he didn’t feel Yang Chen could beat him at all.

After laughing loudly, ghostly qi surged around him, and a trail of black mist emerged, similar to Chen Jingkui’s. However, being of the Spirit Plate Stage, his yin souls and Ghost Qi were obviously lacking in power compared to Jingkui’s.

Yang Chen had already dealt with Chen Jingkui’s yin souls and Ghost Qi, so he didn’t take much notice of Ma Hui’s power.

He swung his palm, and with crackling sounds, he summoned layers of thunder and lightning. The lightning took the form of Lightning Swords, and in a swift motion, they targeted the yin souls and Ghost Qi.

One layer after another, with more than a dozen Lightning Swords, the yin souls and Ghost Qi began to wane.

“What?!” Ma Hui never expected that his yin souls and Ghost Qi, which had been invincible in the previous battles, would be utterly useless against Yang Chen.

How on earth did this Thunder and Lightning Power render his yin souls and Ghost Qi utterly powerless?

“Kid, you forced my hand!” Furious and frustrated, Ma Hui suddenly pulled out a small flag, just like Wei Bin’s.

When the small flag appeared, he shook it vigorously. In an instant, tens of thousands of ghost creatures emerged.
