Chapter 1760 (Raw 1772): Establishing Might with One Battle
Huangpu Qi had no choice but to retreat.
With one finger, Xiao Chen had broken the perfect state and mysterious phenomenon that Huangpu Qi created, transforming it into his own mysterious phenomenon.
Then, he had forced Huangpu Qi out.
This was stupefying and flabbergasting. No one expected Xiao Chen to break this move in such a way.
Xiao Chen was on target, skillfully wresting control of the move—outrageously on target.
He resolved Huangpu Qi’s offensive move from the very foundation, instantly putting him on the defensive.
The situation flipped around, defense and offense swapping positions.
“Damn... This is so incredible.”
“How did he do it? How strong is his mental state for him to break the move like that?”
“Why does it feel that this Xiao Chen is on a completely different level from Huangpu Qi when it comes to mental state? He is much stronger.”
“He is going to be difficult to deal with.”
The spectators were all experts. Anyone could tell that Xiao Chen’s seemingly simple movement of his finger actually contained many tricks to it. One needed an extremely focused mental state and an extremely astute understanding of the Martial Dao.
On the roof, Xiao Chen smiled faintly as he looked at the retreating Huangpu Qi.
He gently tossed the snowflake he held with two fingers forward. The wind and snow filled the air, howling at Huangpu Qi.
In the time Xiao Chen thrust his two fingers forward, a crack of thunder roared out, together with the howling of the wind and snow.
“Boom!”
This earsplitting thunder struck the soul and resounded in the sea of consciousness.
The sound lingered and echoed endlessly.
Thunderclouds spread in the sky, and countless arcs of electric light flashed. The instant the power of the wind and snow went out, Xiao Chen created his strongest mysterious phenomenon.
Holding his saber up, he leaped and pressed towards Huangpu Qi, who was retreating wildly.
“Kill!”
Xiao Chen unsheathed the Tyrant Saber, and a strand of saber light cut through the wind and snow in the air. The lightning and thunder made him look like a war god.
The momentum lay with Xiao Chen in the first place. Now, he held a suppressive advantage over Huangpu Qi, who was retreating.
Damn it!
With one misstep, the entire situation turned bad. Huangpu Qi could not help feeling bitter. The situation was extremely unfavorable to him now.
With just a moment of carelessness, one might be instantly defeated.
Sword!
Huangpu Qi focused more than he ever had before. His Ice Dao was broken, so he could only rely on the sword in his hand to turn the situation around.
With a ferocious roar, all of his Veritable Essence Energy surged. The sword in his hand buzzed endlessly.
Huangpu Qi materialized an incredibly sharp aura that continuously compressed. By the time Xiao Chen charged over, Huangpu Qi was already as sharp as a needle.
The needle was thin and sharp. However, it was easily broken as well.
Huangpu Qi pushed himself into a dead end; he would either fall or win.
In any case, he was already cornered. He might as well gamble, make a risky move and take an extreme position.
No one expected the situation to turn so dangerous after just two moves.
This situation with an exceedingly high risk of death was truly shocking.
Even with Xiao Chen’s mental state, he was shocked. Huangpu Qi’s decisiveness was truly astounding.
“Resolving the Mundane!”
Despite seeing Huangpu Qi putting in so much effort, Xiao Chen still felt no fear. He went with the flow and executed his strongest killing move.
A swastika appeared on Xiao Chen’s forehead. He showed no expression as he cut off the seven emotions and six desires, forgetting about the mundane world and becoming eternal.
A strand of eternally inextinguishable saber light immediately appeared. A boundlessly firm and ferocious Buddhist light illuminated the surroundings that were under the thunderclouds.
It was like the blazing sun, shining forever and never extinguishing!
“Ice Sealing Chop!” Huangpu Qi shouted, and six huge connected icy sword Qi appeared above his head, flying toward that eternal saber light.
Huangpu Qi gently pushed off the ground, radiating light of many colors, betting all the Veritable Essence Energy he had.
The Ice Sealing Chop’s sword Qi and the eternal saber light clashed.
Ice shards shot out of the six spinning sword Qi nonstop. As they scattered, they formed a noisy ice storm.
The cold Qi became like a knife, biting as it surged out.
“Crack! Crack!”
The area within five kilometers all frosted over. The courtyards turned into ice palaces and then silently shattered, filling the ground with ice shards.
The cultivators waiting in hiding were forced out, afraid of being struck by the formidable ice shards.
Xiao Chen did not dodge. He only used his physical body to forcibly block the ice shards.
The cold Qi entered his body and immediately attacked his internal organs.
However, now that things already reached this point, how could Xiao Chen retreat? The eternal saber light in his hand did not stop descending.
The two already put in their all. Now, it was just a matter of who lasted until the end.
Would Xiao Chen chop in half the connected icy sword Qi to the core, breaking that needle-like sword move?
Or would Huangpu Qi’s needle-like sharpness and pervasive icy sword move crush Xiao Chen’s physical body first?
The saber light might be eternal and inextinguishable, but it did not mean that the physical body was eternal.
Everyone held their breath and focused, waiting for the heart-gripping results.
“Crack!”
Everyone heard something crack in that icy storm.
In the next moment, the ice and snow broke. Huangpu Qi fell like a broken kite.
“Senior Brother!”
This scene shocked the Snow Sword Palace disciples. They quickly soared into the air and caught Huangpu Qi.
“You lost.”
The ice, snow, thunder, and saber light vanished when Xiao Chen sheathed his saber. Then, he slowly descended amid drifting snowflakes.
Xiao Chen’s face paled slightly, and blood leaked out of a corner of his lips. Clearly, the earlier exchange was mentally strenuous, and he had sustained significant injuries.
Huangpu Qi was so pallid that he looked drained of blood. A scary saber wound appeared on his chest, nearly bisecting him.
“Many thanks for showing mercy,” Huangpu Qi said through gritted teeth, his sullen face expressing no gratitude whatsoever.
In the last saber strike, Xiao Chen could have killed Huangpu Qi.
In the end, he held back and did not chop Huangpu Qi in half.
Xiao Chen said indifferently, “There is no need to thank me. You saved your own life. You did not use your will of soul or activate your Great Desolate Eon bloodline. Otherwise, I would not be able to hold back.”
Huangpu Qi smiled and said, “I come from a better background, and my cultivation is higher. If I used my will of soul, where could I put my face? A defeat is a defeat. Let’s go.”
This time, without needing Xiao Chen to say anything, Huangpu Qi led the Snow Sword Palace disciples away.
He would not appear before Xiao Chen again.
Huangpu Qi was convinced of his loss and did not have the face to remain here.
Just at this moment, Senior Ma and Senior Liu exchanged looks in the courtyard and lightly nodded to each other.
While Xiao Chen and Huangpu Qi spoke, Senior Ma and Senior Liu suddenly attacked.
Many stars sparkled in Senior Liu’s and Senior Ma’s eyes. The two’s wills of soul drove a vigorous power of the world that howled as it pressed towards Xiao Chen.
The two’s wills of soul merged into one in the air.
Immediately, the sky changed color, wind blew, clouds churned. An unparalleled force pressed down on Xiao Chen.
All the people in the distance sucked in a deep breath, startled by this scene.
Although there were no rules in Dragon Flame City, the cultivators in the city had their pride. Rarely would people mount a shameless sneak attack, much less right after the other party just ended a huge battle.
Furthermore, these were two Star Venerates working together to use the will of soul to suppress a Major Primal Core Venerate.
“Xiao Chen, you traitor. This old man will show you the consequences of betrayal!”
Senior Ma showed a sinister expression as he spoke through clenched teeth. He had waited for this moment for a long time already.
In Senior Ma’s eyes, Xiao Chen was already a dead man.
Back then, Xiao Chen already found it very taxing to resist Senior Ma’s will of soul.
Now that Senior Ma had Senior Liu’s aid, he was very confident that nothing would go wrong when dealing with a significantly injured Xiao Chen, who just fought a huge battle.
“It’s over. This time, Xiao Chen is truly finished.”
Many people considered these two old men shameless. At the same time, they felt pity for Xiao Chen.
Under such circumstances, death was the most likely result. Anyone would have difficulty surviving this.
Even if one did not die, one would be crippled.
Xiao Chen’s expression changed slightly as he snorted coldly. Starlight sparkled in his eyes.
In his Soul Pool, the azure-colored dragon seal flickered with light.
A will of soul containing ancient Dragon Might surged out of Xiao Chen’s forehead, clashing with the two’s combined wills of soul.
“Buzz!”
The wills of soul clashed invisibly in the air.
The two old men’s wills of soul crumbled with one touch.
Before the two old men could show horrified expressions, Xiao Chen’s will of soul ruthlessly suppressed them, causing them to vomit a mouthful of blood each and kneel on the ground, unable to move.
Dust rose into the air, but they were fixed in place. Xiao Chen’s will of soul froze the space around already.
“Young Master Xiao, spare us!”
Senior Ma and Senior Liu knelt on the ground, frightened silly. They begged for their lives with much difficulty.
Before Huangpu Qi had gone very far, he turned his head back and saw this scene. Petrified, he felt his face turn warm.
