Chapter 171 Long Chen’s Peak State
Gui Sha angrily howled . He shot forward like a phantom, appearing in front of Long Chen in an instant . He was so fast it was almost impossible to see his movements .
“Wind Moon Slash!”
Tang Wan-er was the first to react . She didn’t know how powerful Long Chen really was, so she first helped him to block Gui Sha’s attack .
“Fuck off!”
Gui Sha roared and with a single hand, brushed away Tang Wan-er’s wind blades . People were horrified to see that the wind blades Tang Wan-er had used her core energy to condense and had the power of a glyph to support them were easily forced to explode by his palm .
And he didn’t halt in the slightest from his wind blades, immediately sending a palm at Tang Wan-er’s body .
There was no doubt in anyone’s mind that if that withered hand reached Tang Wan-er, she would immediately die .
“Chilling Ice Smash!” Suddenly a wall of ice appeared in front of Tang Wan-er .
Gui Sha’s withered hand slammed into the ice wall . The ice wall immediately shattered, but Tang Wan-er also took that chance to retreat .
From the moment Gui Sha was released to now, less than a breath of time had passed . But Gui Sha had defeated two monster-class expert’s techniques in that moment .
One attack and one defense; neither of them had had any meaning in front of Gui Sha’s single hand . That completely horrified everyone . Just how powerful was this devil corpse? Had he really even been weakened?
The disciples under Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu were immediately filled with worry . That devil corpse was far too frightening . How was that fair at all?!
And it wasn’t just the disciples who thought so . Even the Elders’ expression changes .
“Probably this sealed soul used to be an expert of a Devil sect . With just his spiritual energy, he is able to reach such a terrifying level . ”
Tu Fang was also a bit startled . This devil corpse’s strength had already surpassed his expectations by a great deal . He didn’t know whether the three of them really could defeat it .
“All of you be prepared . As soon as I make a signal, charge into the formation and restrain that devil corpse . ”
This was a backdoor he had opened for Long Chen, so he definitely didn’t want to mess it up . If the three of them really ended up getting crippled or dying, he would never forgive himself .
If ordinary people died, then fine . The monastery didn’t lack mediocre fellows . What they lacked was peak combat strength . They couldn’t do without any of these three .
After destroying that ice wall with just a single hand, Gui Fang didn’t hesitate at all to send his claw snatching at Ye Zhiqiu .
“Get your dog claw away!” An icy snort rang out as a huge saber cut across the air with an unstoppable air .
That terrifying Saber Qi filled the air . A huge saber image dozens of meters long filled the sky . That saber image seemed as if it was a divinity’s blade’s that was capable of destroying the world .
Gui Sha raised a single palm to face off against that saber image .
BOOM!
The land shook and both Long Chen and Gui Sha were knocked back . The place they had collided was covered in cracks spreading hundreds of meters .
“How powerful…”
The spectators were filled with respect for that practically divine figure holding that saber .
Of the people here, few had even seen Long Chen begin to move . Although they had heard Long Chen was powerful, they had also all heard he had been struck by Lei Qianshang’s thunderseed . So everyone assumed there was no way he was actually on the same level as monster-class experts .
Gui Sha’s palm had been able to easily break apart the two beauties’ techniques . It had to be known that Tang Wan-er had managed to defeat a devil corpse with a cave age of over four hundred years .
But the same powerful attacks as she had used then were now easily destroyed . It could be seen how terrifyingly powerful this particular devil corpse was .
In contrast, Long Chen was able to knock the devil corpse back with his saber . At least on the outside, it seemed Long Chen might be evenly matched with it . Perhaps Long Chen really could defeat the corpse if he used his full strength .
The Elders were shocked, and one of them exclaimed, “What powerful strength and exquisite control! What a domineering saber!”
The Elders were naturally all true experts . They had all seen through that Long Chen’s saber had completely managed to condense his mind, spirit, and Qi together . His saber’s angle and positioning had all been perfect to bring out the greatest possible power .
Even a cultivator who trained in the Saber Dao for tens of years would be unable to bring out such a perfectly controlled attack like Long Cen’s . That was why all the Elders were filled with admiration .
“Old ghost, didn’t you like oppressing me inside the cave? Well now it’s my turn . ” Long Chen voice rang like thunder . Raising his saber in both hands, his FengFu Star quickly circulated, unceasingly pouring spiritual qi into his body .
People could see with their naked eye that the air around him was slowly twisting . It was as if he were enveloped with water . Then space began to boil and it was like the world was filled with surging waves .
“What a powerful aura!”
Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu were shocked . Long Chen’s aura was still continuing to rise . He had entered a completely different state than how he normally was .
Long Chen knew just how terrifying this old ghost was . And so he no longer kept anything back . It was time for him to fight all-out .
All the energy within his FengFu Star surged out, filling his every meridian .
Only this Long Chen was the Long Chen in his peak state . Qi waves continuously soared into the sky . His robes billowed, his hair danced, and he appeared just like a god .
People were all stupefied, not expecting that once Long Chen’s full strength exploded out, it would be so domineering . That kind of will that seemed to want to cut apart heaven and earth filled them with reverence .
“Is this a Divergent? Disdainfully looking down on the world, defying fate, and taking heaven and earth as enemies?” Tu Fang muttered to himself inside .
He wished to ask the world, what kind of person would possess such a manner? What person dared to possess such a will?
Once Long Chen released all the energy within the FengFu Star, spiritual qi completely filled his entire body . He relished in this kind of feeling of surging with energy .
“You actually hid your cultivation base?” Gui Sha looked at Long Chen with shock . The current Long Chen was completely different from the Long Chen he had encountered in the cave .
Long Chen lifted the saber to his shoulder, icily smiling to Gui Sha, “Don’t you think your question is a bit too stupid? If I hadn’t hidden my cultivation base, just how could I have escaped from you?”
Gui Sha immediately became infuriated . Back then he had never thought Long Chen’s body would contain thunderforce, causing him to suffer greatly .
He had also been careless . That was because Long Chen’s acting had just been too good . If Long Chen had exploded out with this powerful of an aura back then, he definitely would have been more on guard . Unfortunately it was too late for regret .
At this time, Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu both came to Long Chen’s side . Tang Wan-er’s eyes rippled . This Long Chen was extremely fascinating .
“Two beauties, I’ll take the vanguard and face this old ghost head on . You two wait for good opportunities to land attacks . This old ghost has no weak points to speak of . If we want to kill him, we need to completely exhaust all his Spiritual Strength . Be careful,” warned Long Chen .
Although he hadn’t had the experience of killing a devil corpse, he knew this corpse didn’t actually have any life energy . It was only moving with the control of the spirit within .
Furthermore, this devil corpse’s body was too hard . With the addition of the soul within it was almost impossible to damage . So if they wanted to win, they first needed to exhaust its spiritual energy first .
“You be careful too,” warned Tang Wan-er .
Long Chen nodded . Focusing on Gui Sha, he leaned slightly forward, raising his saber .
“I’m going . ”
With a press of his foot, he had already charged up to Gui Sha . Ice-cold Saber Qi slashed down at Gui Sha .
With a cold snort, strange lines appeared over Gui Sha’s black fist and he punched at Long Chen’s saber .
BANG! Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu saw Long Chen be sent flying . They were stepping forward to take advantage of this brief opening when sudden a terrifying wave of Qi surged over them . The two of them were actually forced back several meters just from that terrifying wave .
They were both shocked . Just the aftermaths of their battle made it so they were unable to approach . Just what level of strength was that?
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM…
Saberlight danced and Qi waves surged . Dust filled the air, immediately covering the entire battlefield . People were already unable to see Long Chen’s figure .
They could only see that whirling Saber Qi and hear those ear-splitting collisions that caused the ground to shake . Their faces paled .
Even Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin were filled with shock as they watched .
In their eyes, Long Chen had only been a loathsome, minor character that was never a true opponent for them .
But this terrifying power of his and that unstoppable will of his finally told them Long Chen had hidden his true strength .
Tu Fang excitedly watched, celebrating inside . What he viewed most highly of Long Chen wasn’t his powerful strength or his forceful spiritual qi, but that unstoppable confidence .
He had carefully groomed these monastery disciples to slowly form some of that confidence . That was because only someone who possessed such a confidence would be able to explode out with their full potential .
But grooming that kind of confidence was too difficult . And that was why they mostly only accepted disciples from powerful families . Those people were very confident in themselves . However, that kind of confidence was actually just a kind of conceit .
Being so arrogant was actually just being stupid . But it was on that foundation that they groomed true confidence . That would be at least a bit easier than trying to groom those self-inferior fellows .
The reason why so many of these registrants would do stupid things was precisely because they were too conceited .
The monastery would temper them, rejecting that conceit and leaving their confidence . Then through experiencing life and death trials, they would gradually begin to walk the path of an expert .
As for Long Chen, he seemed to have been born with that unstoppable Dao-heart . Furthermore it was an extremely firm Dao-heart that no one could possibly shake in the slightest . Even in the face of such a powerful devil corpse, he still didn’t feel any fear .
Tu Fang now finally understood how he had managed to escape from the hands of an expert ten times stronger than him . In this world, there were no coincidences .
People’s jaws dropped as they this horrifying fight that had surpassed their imaginations . They finally understood just what was a monster .
If Lei Qianshang and the others were monsters, then Long Chen was a monster amongst monsters . He fought for over an hour, his tempest-like rain of attacks not slowing down in the slightest . In fact, he only became stronger and stronger, his attacks coming faster and faster .
With Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu to the side helping with their wind blades and ice blades, the three of them had actually surrounded and were suppressing Gui Sha .
Just when everyone thought this battle’s ending was already set in stone, a mournful cry rang out from Gui Sha .
“Bastards, all of you will die for me! Netherworld Soul Ignition!”
