It was incredibly fast and too sudden. By the time Wilde reacted, it had already reached him. He instinctively tilted his head to the side.
Blood splashed. A large cut appeared on Wilde’s head, and through it, it was possible to see his skull.
Chapter 1119 Terrifying Metal Energy
A half-a-foot-long golden awl fell to the ground. Only now did people realize the form of the weapon that had attacked Wilde.
The golden awl clattered a few times before it became still. Then it simply dissipated as if it had never existed.
Everyone was shocked. What kind of technique was this? Without making any movements, he was able to unleash such a terrifying attack.
“Your head’s quite thick, otherwise, you’d be dead.” That mysterious man seemed to be a bit surprised, but his voice was as cold as ever.
“Bastard, you broke the rules!” Wilde was infuriated as he was in immense pain. If it had been anyone else, this attack would have turned them into a corpse.
The previous battle had just ended, and the barrier had yet to be activated, meaning it was against the rules to attack now.
But this man had launched a silent attack, one that was clearly trying to take his opponent’s life. It was completely despicable.
A cold light appeared in the depths of the Xuan Master’s eyes. The Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect was growing more and more arrogant, and that was due to them being accustomed to it. At this point, the competition was no longer about exchanging pointers at all.
From this, it could be seen that Ma Xingkong had already lost any calm left in him. His continuous losses made him want to get revenge on the Xuantian Dao Sect by making them suffer losses as well.
“I’ll kill you with a single swing!” Wilde roared, just about to charge out. But he was held back by a hand.
“Wilde, go back. Leave this battle to me.” Long Chen stopped Wilde because he knew this mysterious man was an incredibly terrifying opponent. Wilde might be powerful, but his head wasn’t good enough.
Wilde always listened to Long Chen. Although he was sullen, he left without saying another word. Someone else went to gather the dead disciple’s corpse.
Long Chen was facing the mysterious man on the martial stage. It was deathly silent. Right now, Long Chen was the number one figure of the Xuantian Dao Sect’s new disciples.
As for the mysterious man, he was also the most terrifying existence on the side of the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect. Now that the two of them were facing each other, the tension in the air soared.
“No wonder you refuse to face people openly and only do such shameful things. If I were you, I’d have no face to see anyone,” said Long Chen as he looked at his opponent coldly.
At this time, the mysterious man finally took off his hat. When his face was revealed, it shocked everyone.
There was a third eye on his forehead. His head was bald, but strange lines were covering it like wriggling centipedes. Just looking at it was horrifying.
His third eye was closed, while one of his other eyes was covered by a patch. Only one eye was revealed.
This one exposed eye had no pupil. Instead, it contained a strange golden rune.
Seeing his appearance, all the disciples from the Xuantian Dao Sect jumped in horror. He looked like a monster.
“Your power’s not bad, but you’re weaker than that big fellow. If it was him, perhaps he’d have a ten percent chance of beating me. As for you, you have no chance.” This strange man’s eye roved around Long Chen as if it could see through everything about him.
“I don’t know where your confidence comes from. Originally, we had no enmity, and I wasn’t planning on killing you. But you had to be so idiotic as to try to kill my brother, using the most despicable and shameless way as well. Today, you won’t be leaving.” Long Chen looked back at him.
Long Chen was infuriated. If everyone had been fighting openly, with victory and defeat left up to the heavens, then there was nothing to be done.
But the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s disciples were too vile, like hyenas on the grasslands. They always had to do malicious things that continuously pushed his patience.
Because four of their experts had been killed after they had insulted Hua Shiyu and Tang Wan-er, his anger had gradually been suppressed. But now, this strange man had ignited it again.
Although Wilde’s head was big, his brain was like a child’s. Long Chen always treated him as a little brother who didn’t quite understand things.
But this strange man had almost killed him. If it weren’t for Wilde’s monstrous physical body, which made his skeleton comparable to King items, he’d be dead already.
Now Long Chen’s killing intent could no longer be suppressed. He had made his determination to kill this person. He would not permit anyone to take the lives of his people for no reason at all. That was an enmity that would not rest until death.
“Hahaha, good, you’re arrogant enough. I hope I’m wrong as well, or killing you will be boring. If you can’t satisfy me, don’t blame me for not being courteous,” said the strange-faced man. Killing intent exploded from his eye. “Remember my name, Han Zhenyu from the Grand Han Ancient Nation. The one who possesses this name will take your life!”
Hearing he came from the Grand Han Ancient Nation, the Xuan Master narrowed his eyes. He instantly realized something and he smiled. That smile was touched with derision.
“Elder Hall Master, activate the barrier!”
Long Chen didn’t bother arguing. The Elder Hall Master looked toward the Xuan Master. Seeing him nod, he activated the formation, covering the martial stage with the huge barrier.
All the hearts of the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples clenched. Some were so nervous that they found it hard to breathe.
“Prepare yourself. Don’t get instantly killed, or it’d be boring-”
Han Zhenyu had only gotten half his words out when a figure flashed before him. Long Chen appeared in front of him without saying a word, a kick going for Han Zhenyu’s crotch.
Long Chen hadn’t unleashed his aura, and he wasn’t using his spiritual yuan nor a magical art. This was a simple kick with no technique.
That wasn’t something that should occur in a battle between experts. He looked like an ordinary person who had charged up and sent out a kick.
Han Zhenyu had just been prepared to unleash his aura, thinking that Long Chen would do the same. As a result, this sudden charge caught him off guard.
When Long Chen arrived in front of him, he suddenly felt something was off. Long Chen’s physical body looked ordinary, but it was like a hibernating dragon was hiding within. This kick definitely wouldn’t be easy to take.
He had to stop what he was doing and press down with his foot. His butt stuck out behind him, allowing him to dodge Long Chen’s kick by less than a hair’s breadth. He was just about to fly into the air when a palm came from an undodgeable angle and viciously struck him across the face.
This slap was extremely resounding. Han Zhenyu was sent flying and smashed into the barrier like a shooting star.
The barrier quivered, shocking people. The collision from this attack was practically comparable to the result of Guo Ran’s Nine Yang Blood Mark Exploding Arrow. Just how vicious had this slap been?
In reality, this was Long Chen’s first time using his divine face-slapping art with the intent to kill. Of course, that meant it would be easier to sense and wouldn’t necessarily hit.
And so he had first used a kick in preparation for this slap. He had been secretly accumulating energy, so of course this slap was vicious.
However, Long Chen couldn’t help being startled. He felt a burst of pain from his palm. His skin had split open and his hand was bleeding.
Han Zhenyu stood up, and everyone was shocked to see that half his face had turned golden yellow with runes circulating over it. He looked like he was made of gold.
That was shocking. Han Zhenyu’s metal energy was truly terrifying to be abl
e to freely transform his body into metal.
But even his golden face had a clear handprint in it. The handprint was almost an inch deep.
That was shocking as well as funny. Looking from the bloody-handed Long Chen to the metallic-faced Han Zhenyu, they were silent.
“Good! Fuck, I don’t mind others being posers, but they can’t be bigger posers than me!” cheered Guo Ran. That slap had been too satisfying.
Regretfully, Han Zhenyu was incredibly powerful. If it had been an innate rank six Celestial, this slap might really have killed them.
“Long Chen really doesn’t walk a normal path. This brat, even I misjudged what he was going to do.” The Xuan Master looked at Long Chen a bit solemnly. But inside, he was bitterly smiling. Even with his experience, he hadn’t been able to guess Long Chen’s moves.
“No wonder you’re so shameless. I’ve never seen someone with skin as thick as this.” Long Chen swung his hand a few times with an admiring expression.
Although his attack had struck, he didn’t feel the slightest delight. Instead, he was shocked. This fellow would probably be a very difficult opponent.
“Congratulations, you’ve managed to infuriate me.”
Han Zhenyu stared coldly at Long Chen. The handprint on his face slowly disappeared. At the same time, the golden color of his face faded, and he once more had a normal face of flesh and blood.
“I’ll make you live a life worse than death.” Han Zhenyu waved his staff, runes revolving around him. As the golden rune in his eye began to shine, golden chains descended from the sky toward Long Chen. “First, I’ll give you an appetizer!”
BOOM!
Long Chen’s fist smashed onto one of the chains. It exploded, transforming into golden runes.
But several other chains continued to descend. Long Chen repeatedly punched, destroying the golden chains one by one. Golden runes filled the air.
“Hmph, idiot, you actually fell for it so easily. Gold Locks Heaven and Earth!”
The runes floating in the air instantly condensed, forming a huge net that trapped Long Chen.
Chapter 1120 Berserk Fierce Battle
“Break!” Long Chen roared, his 108,000 original runes giving him power. The huge net binding him instantly blew to bits.
Long Chen stamped on the martial stage and shot forward at Han Zhenyu, delivering a punch. As for Han Zhenyu, he also sent a punch out. But his arm instantly turned golden with countless runes revolving around it.
BOOM! A heaven-shaking explosion erupted when their fists collided.
Han Zhenyu’s expression changed. His golden arm actually deformed and he flew back. In terms of power, he was at a disadvantage. Even after summoning this golden arm, he wasn’t Long Chen’s match.
“Good, this makes it interesting.” Han Zhenyu’s body began to shine and become golden. “To be able to force me to use my Golden Battle Armor is a privilege for you. Even when you die, you can die happy.”
Han Zhenyu shot forward. He opened his hand, and the runes revolving around him condensed in his hand. When he formed a fist once more, his fist was like a blazing sun.
“Your posing makes me think of another idiot surnamed Han in the Eastern Wasteland. Your posing methods are quite similar. But right now, the grass on his burial mound is high and wild.” Long Chen snorted. His original runes made him feel like his power was overflowing as he met this punch with his own fist.
BOOM!
Their fists once more collided, unleashing terrifying qi waves that struck the martial stage’s barrier. It was constantly shaking, with countless runes activating to block their power.
Han Zhenyu’s expression changed again. He hadn’t expected that after summoning his Golden Battle Armor, he would still be unable to suppress Long Chen in terms of power.
At this moment, Long Chen appeared right above him, a kick heading to his head.
Han Zhenyu was infuriated. This was clearly a kind of contempt. He reached his hand toward Long Chen’s foot. If he caught it, Long Chen would definitely be forced into a passive position.
But unexpectedly, Long Chen’s kick was just a feint, nothing more than bait. Just as his hand was about to grab Long Chen’s foot, Long Chen’s other foot struck like a scorpion’s tail.
When it came to close-range combat, Han Zhenyu’s experience was a far cry from Long Chen’s. As a result, Long Chen’s second foot struck him right in the nose.
His face directly caved in, causing everyone else’s noses to feel a sympathetic reaction. With a muffled snort, Han Zhenyu flew backward.
Long Chen was just about to chase when his heart shook. Lightning runes circulated around him, and he forcibly changed his direction.
Golden rays shot by. Even though Long Chen had dodged at the first moment, he was still struck in the arm.
What had struck him was a golden sword. Hundreds of them had flown over, and each one of them was incredibly sharp. Even Long Chen’s body was pierced, the large cut on his arm slowly bleeding.
“Have you stopped being a poser?” This injury was nothing. Long Chen icily looked at Han Zhenyu.
At this time, Han Zhenyu’s body was not golden anymore. Moreover, he was no longer bare-handed. He was holding a magical staff.
Only now did the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples recall that the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s disciples all specialized in magical arts. In other words, those terrifying attacks before were nothing more than probing blows. He hadn’t brought out any of his true power.
They also realized why Long Chen kept saying he was being a poser. To fight against his opponent using the area he was weakest in was truly being a poser.
But it was also clear he hadn’t succeeded in being a poser. Long Chen hadn’t given him that chance. According to a normal posing pattern, he should have used this method to force Long Chen into a miserable state and then tell him that the warm-up was over.
Now instead of being a poser, he ended up posing as an idiot. Long Chen’s slap in the face and kick contributed a great deal to that.
However, no one from the Xuantian Dao Sect laughed at Han Zhenyu. They were full of shock. These terrifying attacks were capable of exterminating them several times over, but they were just the prologue. Now the real battle would start.
“You should be careful. I’m going to get serious. Don’t die too fast, or it’ll be boring.” Han Zhenyu waved his staff. The golden light in his eye grew stronger, and as he chanted, a golden light suddenly shot out of it.
Long Chen quickly retreated. Golden awls appeared stuck in the ground right where he had been.
More and more of them shot at him, forcing him to retreat over and over again. Their sharpness was able to pierce even Wilde’s body, so he didn’t dare to take them head-on.
Just as he was thinking about how to handle this, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Looking up, he saw a huge golden platform smash down on him.
“Golden Mountain Grand Seal!” Han Zhenyu had been chanting this entire time, and with a final shout, the golden platform smashed down.
Han Zhenyu’s golden awls were just a distraction. By the time Long Chen realized this trap, it was too late.
Just as many people thought Long Chen might have been crushed into a meat patty beneath the platform, it exploded.
When the golden runes dissipated, they saw Long Chen in his punching posture, four stars shining in his eyes. His hair and robes fluttered naturally in the wind. He suddenly roared, sounding like a furious god.
Long Chen had no choice but to roar. This was his first time going all-out with the Four Star Battle Armor after forming his 108,000 original runes.
As soon as he summoned the Four Star Battle Armor, his 108,000 original runes became excited, and it was like a dragon was awakening within him. It felt like if he didn’t roar, he would suffocate.
After a thunderous roar, Long Chen’s gaze turned cold, and he shot forward. A hole appeared on the incomparably sturdy bricks beneath his feet where he stamped.
“What speed!” By the time anyone could react, Long Chen had arrived in front of Han Zhenyu.
Han Zhenyu was startled. Long Chen seemed like a revived dragon, and Han Zhenyu no longer dared to stay close to him. He repeatedly waved his staff, chanting.
Golden walls appeared one after another, each dozens of meters thick. And yet, these powerful barriers were as weak as paper and were blown apart with a single punch.
Long Chen continued to advance, the golden walls unable to stop him from chasing. Han Zhenyu was currently fleeing.
“Impossible! Senior apprentice-brother Han Zhenyu is unrivaled! How can Long Chen force him to this extent?!” The Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s disciples were all filled with disbelief.
In the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect, Han Zhenyu was like a god. No one dared to receive a single blow from him, so naturally, no one had seen him truly fight.
In their hearts, he was unrivaled. And no matter how powerful the opponents, they would be annihilated with a wave of his hand. They had never seen anyone able to force Han Zhenyu to this extent.
Han Zhenyu rapidly formed new golden walls, but Long Chen broke them down even faster. When Long Chen was about to reach him, he suddenly tore off his eyepatch.
BOOM!
In front of everyone’s shocked gazes, the martial stage exploded, and a huge fist flew out of the ground at Long Chen.
“So you’re a dual metal-earth cultivator. So what? Watch me destroy it.” Long Chen snorted and directly sent out a punch.
The huge fist exploded, and the entire martial stage shook as if it was unable to bear this power. All the disciples’ expressions changed.
“Rock Gold Suppress Heaven and Earth!”
Han Zhenyu roared furiously, and the two runes in his eyes began to revolve. The ground transformed into a sturdy rock, while a huge golden seal appeared in the air.
This golden seal was ten times larger than before. The ground began to rapidly soar, while the golden seal fell like a meteor.
BOOM! The two collided. For a moment, everyone was silent.
