Chapter 244: Chapter 228 Reverse Slash Reach Profound (Part 2) (Subscription Requested) Chapter 244: Chapter 228 Reverse Slash Reach Profound (Part 2) (Subscription Requested) At that mont, between heaven and earth, it seed only that sword light remained.
Tens of ters long, the sword light carried with it an overwhelming sense of oppression.
The assassin from the Seven Killings Hall, who had felt confident and in control up until now, couldn’t help but feel a bit of panic, as Chen Yuan had already put a lot of pressure on him.
Especially with this strike, which was in no way inferior to the burst of energy from a Reach Profound Martial Artist at the first acupoint.
Demon Sword Chen Yuan!
The evaluation of him by the Seven Killings Hall was still sowhat biased—they thought that by sending a Reach Profound Martial Artist like themselves the task would be easy. Yet, after several eruptions of his Blood Arrows did no harm to the man but rely hindered his movents, he realized how troubleso Chen Yuan could be.
The pressure this strike brought had led him to sense danger.
Facing such a fierce strike, without much thought, the man in the black robe suddenly threw back his hood, revealing a face scarred with knife marks.
Each mark was self-inflicted, a reminder not to be distracted whenever he practiced his archery.
It was this resolve and perseverance that had allowed him to stand out among assassin seeds and step by step reach where he was today. He wasn’t talented, but what he relied on was resilience.
Now was no exception.
He bit his fingertip, forcing out his essence blood, and in an instant, inscribed a formation on his arrow to enhance the might of his Blood Arrow.
Then, just as the sword light approached him, the man in the black robe gritted his teeth, repeating his previous action of drawing the bow and placing an arrow.
Only this ti, he closed his eyes as he released the arrow, emitting a muffled grunt from the strain on the bowstring.
“Boom!”
The Blood Arrow flew from the bow, gathering the Primordial Energy of the surrounding heaven and earth around it like an ascending Primordial Energy Vortex.
The Reach Profound Realm is a process of gradually mastering the control of Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy. Although only an entry, the power released by the assassin in black attire should not be underestimated.
“Roar!”
The explosive sound bood, the disturbance caused by the full-powered strike from Chen Yuan and the desperate arrow from the man in black exceeded all past encounters, rolling waves of heat tens of ters through the air.
It was as if a mushroom cloud had exploded.
On the ground, Yan Qing’s mouth was agape, Yue Shan and others arrived just in ti to witness the scene, their eyes filled with disbelief. The astonishnt in their hearts was indescribable; such a horrific standoff was definitely not sothing the Gang Condensation Realm could unleash.
Even the forr Master Zhang Xuan couldn’t have achieved this.
Lord Chen had actually reached this stage. It was truly… unimaginable.
That man in black was definitely a Reach Profound strong practitioner, yet Chen Yuan was able to hold his ground in the fight, even gaining so initiative.
Lord Chen was terrifying indeed!
Yue Shan, Yan Qing, Yang Feng, and the others simultaneously gasped in a breath of cold air.
“Old Yue, should we help the lord out?”
Yan Qing turned his gaze towards Yue Shan.
Aside from Chen Yuan, Yue Shan’s strength was the strongest and they temporarily regarded him as their core of support.
“Don’t act recklessly,” Yue Shan waved his hand.
A confrontation at the Reach Profound Level, let alone Yan Qing, even if he joined in, he would be nothing but cannon fodder. Rashly intervening would only lead to a dead end, and most importantly, how could they intervene?
Chen Yuan and that man in black were both gliding in the air. Yue Shan couldn’t even externalize his True Yuan, so there was no way he could get involved.
Now, they felt a sense of powerlessness.
And a sense of sha for being unable to help Chen Yuan, which surged continuously in their hearts.
The man in black’s arrow was within Chen Yuan’s expectations. If a Reach Profound strong practitioner was so easily overtaken by himself, that would indeed be strange.
With crossed arms, he blocked the oncoming wave of heat. Chen Yuan, facing this force, took another step forward, his hair fluttering. Now, only a dozen ters separated him from the man in black.
This distance was already very close. Chen Yuan could even see the flicker of panic in the man’s eyes. With a shake of his right arm, Chen Yuan vigorously thrusted a fist.
His body’s Qi and blood surged, unleashing a pale-red Mystic Yang Gang Qi.
From such a close distance, the man in black only managed to hastily shoot an arrow. Then, his eyes’ panic turned to a cold grimness as he watched Chen Yuan with a cold gaze, his mouth curving slightly. The scars on his face made him look sowhat nauseating.
Even if he took this punch head-on, this arrow could still undoubtedly kill Chen Yuan.
If that was all it took to kill Chen Yuan, then it would be worth it.
Chen Yuan’s fist power reached him, and his launched arrow was also now at close quarters to Chen Yuan. However, Chen Yuan’s face showed no panic.
Instead, he calmly puffed up his chest to endure the exploding arrow.
No other reason but the protection of Dragon Scale.
Previous attacks hadn’t breached the protection of Dragon Scale; this ti was naturally no exception.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
The sounds of two grunts almost coincided, Chen Yuan’s fist power hamred on the man’s Protective Gang Qi, making his steps falter and stagger.
The arrow Chen Yuan took head-on was forcibly deflected, though of course, the proximity still caused so disturbance in his Qi and blood, affecting his internal organs.
However, Chen Yuan did not retreat to offset so of the force, instead managing to rush forward again, closing a few more ters to the man in black.
Although his punch hadn’t caused much harm to the man in black, he had nevertheless managed to close within three ters of his vicinity.
Worth it!
At this distance, the man in black’s archery was useless, forced to fight Chen Yuan up close.
“Ridiculous, you think being close to ans you can defeat ?”
The man in black sneered coldly, seemingly mocking Chen Yuan for overestimating himself. Although his main skill was archery, he was also a martial artist. He might not be extrely strong,
but he was certainly competent.
And Chen Yuan?
Perhaps his physical strength was indeed far superior to others at the sa realm, but taking those several arrows head-on must have drained a substantial amount of his Gang Qi, especially that seemingly powerful Gang Qi sword light.
Was it really that easy to unleash?
Moreover, Chen Yuan must have an exceptional piece of protective armor on him, otherwise, he wouldn’t possibly have been able to take on his Blood Arrows.
Unexpected gain.
He hadn’t expected that, apart from obtaining the Primordial Crystal, there would be another unexpected gain.
“Then try it.”
Chen Yuan didn’t waste much ti talking, and with a punch, he struck directly at the man in black’s head, his Gang Qi swirling, his punch filled with a killing intent. It was a heavy consumption indeed, but who allowed him to have cheats?
The man in black sneered in his heart and erupted with a punch, clashing with Chen Yuan.
The two Gang Qi slamd together with a ‘bang’.
Afterward, what followed was an intense barrage of hits, Chen Yuan held nothing back, exerting full power against the man in black, and at the burst of Gang Qi, even afterimages appeared.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The two did not keep their footing in one place, exchanging punches and kicks not just as a show of skill, but also using high-level techniques, continuously maneuvering in mid-air by leveraging force.
Without reaching the Core Realm, they couldn’t stay aloft for long.
The two were more like gliding, relying on each other’s force.
Long legs swept fiercely and forcefully.
Since his transportation to this world, Chen Yuan had been continuously practicing the basic movent techniques and saber techniques, coupled with countless life-and-death fights, he had already attained a certain level.
As for the man in black, he had been put through life-and-death training from a young age, making his skills no less extraordinary.
Their clash was intense; with every blow, a muffled grunt erupted, their figures slippery like loaches. Apart from the necessary confrontations, Chen Yuan simply couldn’t exert his Power on the man in black.
Similarly, the man in black was in the sa position.
“Kill!”
Chen Yuan roared, his punch carrying unprecedented force struck on the man in black’s right arm, a clear sound of bone cracking could be heard.
Yet such pain did not change the opponent’s expression at all; their lash out with a whip kick hit Chen Yuan’s chest, both grunted in unison, but still, Chen Yuan held a slight advantage.
This place had beco their exclusive battleground, while Yue Shan, Yan Qing, and others below wanted to help, they couldn’t intervene, his hidden weapons had tried before, but couldn’t penetrate the man in black’s protective Gang Qi.
Nor did they pose any threat to him.
The longer they fought, the more shocked the man in black beca because Chen Yuan was sowhat abnormal, managing to withstand such consumption; now not showing any signs of fatigue at all,
instead, he was getting stronger as the fight progressed.
“Mission failed, I must leave…”
Though he was reluctant to admit it, the man in black was very clear about this point, continuing to fight would only lead to mutual destruction.
The price Tang Qian offered was only enough for one assassination attempt, not for a fight to the death.
A strike if not successful, then retreat; that was the principle of the Seven Killings Hall.
They were assassins, not madn.
“Chen Yuan, let’s stop; I can’t kill you, and you can’t kill either,” the man in black said in a rather calm tone.
This was the best outco for both parties now.
“Fine.”
Chen Yuan’s mouth twitched, but his movents didn’t stop at all, instead his speed increased even more, striking like a fierce storm.
“Crazy.”
The man in black frowned deeply, took a deep breath, and putting forth all his strength, exchanged a punch with Chen Yuan and then, leveraging this force, sorsaulted in mid-air.
He created distance and was about to retreat.
But at that mont, Chen Yuan’s eyes narrowed, the opportunity he had deliberately created had finally arrived!
After the close combat, he had realized how tough it was to deal with a Reach Profound expert, no wonder those who could slay a Reach Profound expert could climb into the top fifty of the Hidden Dragon List,
it wasn’t sothing just anyone could achieve.
Take Chen Yuan for instance, he was able to fight on equal terms mostly by relying on his strong body and deep Essence Blood, while the man in black’s physique wasn’t comparable to his,
yet he was still able to withstand and even maintain parity.
Why?
Of course, it was because of his robust Innate True Essence, the quality of which was completely in a different league compared to Chen Yuan’s Gang Qi. Even if his physique was inferior, he could still hold his ground.
Therefore, from that mont, Chen Yuan had been thinking of other ways to weaken or injure the man in black.
Only then would he have a chance of winning!
