Chapter 1192: Chapter 1164: Soul Reaping Scythe!
Li Chen’s survival ability exceeded their expectations, and similarly, the attack strength of He Baigang’s strike also exceeded Li Chen’s expectations.
This was not Li Chen’s first time facing a Roar-level opponent, but the power of this Roar-level expert was exceptionally strong.
Moreover, it was strangely strong.
His true qi defense seemed completely ineffective in front of him; that banner strike directly penetrated Li Chen’s true qi defense, landing on him.
It was as if he were hit by a speeding locomotive without any defense; Li Chen felt as though all the bones in his body were falling apart, an unbearable pain.
Moreover, the terrifying part of this pain wasn’t the physical injury, but rather the seemingly slowed flow of true qi within his body.
"What exactly is this ability?"
Seeing Li Chen’s confused expression, a strange smile appeared on He Baigang’s face, "Very curious, aren’t you?"
Li Chen stood up from the ground silently, clenching the Red Moon in his hand.
If it were just one person, he might still have a reasonable chance by going all out, but now he faced two Roar-level experts.
In the current situation, even if he fought with all his strength, he probably wouldn’t have much of a chance.
"Although people like to call me White Impermanence, my Earth-level attribute is surprisingly dark," He Baigang laughed lightly, "The dark attribute doesn’t have any other special features; its main ability is suppression. Do you feel like the true qi in your body isn’t flowing properly now?"
Li Chen nodded but didn’t speak further.
Yet, silently, the blood within Li Chen’s body began to boil once more.
Amidst the boiling and even burning of his blood, the sluggish feeling during the flow of true qi quickly dissipated.
The opponent has their abilities; he has his own as well.
Up to now, Li Chen had defeated countless strong enemies thanks to the Blood of Heaven within him.
He believed that these two would definitely not be the last enemies he faced.
"Still resisting?" Watching Li Chen’s unyielding expression, Chu Songlan couldn’t help but laugh, "Kid, in truth, you’ve already made us proud by making both of us take action. After all, you’re just a minor Union-level martial artist, while we’ve been cultivating for decades longer than you have."
"Speaking of which, your talent seems a bit higher than ours?" Chu Songlan laughed, "However, in the future, you won’t have the chance to cultivate to a higher realm than us because today, you’re going to die here!"
As Chu Songlan finished speaking, he instantly vanished from his original position, pouncing towards Li Chen once again.
The terrifying giant scythe in his hand hooked towards Li Chen’s neck like it was harvesting wheat.
Upon seeing the scythe slicing towards him, a sinister look appeared on Li Chen’s face.
"Do you think you can kill me with just that?"
"Clang!!"
The Red Moon firmly blocked the scythe to the side, and flames seemed to ignite in Li Chen’s eyes.
At this moment, a gust of wind came from behind.
Li Chen knew well that it was He Baigang launching another ambush, without any hesitation, he curled into a ball, bringing Red Moon back in an instant. Lowering his body slightly, he struck out with a blade at an odd angle.
"Unsheathe!!"
Horizontal unsheathing!
Facing enemies attacking from both front and back, Li Chen chose to horizontally unsheathe!
This strike wasn’t aimed in any specific direction or plane but, centered around Li Chen, the unsheathing drew a semi-circle that scattered around.
A gigantic arc of red blade light exploded out centered on Li Chen, spreading into the surroundings.
Seeing this blade light, both Chu Songlan and He Baigang’s expressions changed.
Both were seasoned Earth-level experts and were once considered genius martial artists. Upon seeing this blade light, they immediately sensed the terrifying power that could threaten them.
This was definitely a strike capable of harming a Roar-level expert!
How could he possibly have such a powerful technique?
At this moment, they had no time to think, immediately opting to retreat.
"Boom boom boom!!"
A series of explosions rang out.
Apart from where Chu Songlan and He Baigang stood, the blade light Li Chen slashed out in a semi-circle severed the surrounding trees at waist level like a giant harvesting machine.
In an instant, the enormous trees were cut, slowly breaking from their stumps and collapsing to the ground, one after another, thunderous crashing sounded endlessly.
The terror of this strike was beyond the imagination of both men.
"Damn it!!"
Chu Songlan’s face shifted, but the formidable force before him forced him to defend.
Yet being a strongman who willingly remained at Roar-level for years without breaking through, he was confident even against Roar-level opponents. But now, he was being forced to defend by a mere minor Union-level fighter?
This was humiliation!
Utter humiliation!
"Brat, you’re going to die!!" Chu Songlan roared, his body forcefully halted midair, with a trickle of blood involuntarily spilling from his mouth.
This was caused by the recoil force he endured forcefully.
But now, he couldn’t be bothered by the backlash; what he wanted was to kill this brat in front of him.
However, before he could take action, Li Chen rushed towards him proactively.
"Unsheathed!"
This time, Li Chen did not use the unsheathing technique. While powerful, it was also incredibly draining for him. Comparatively, despite not being as potent, the quicker and less costly Unsheathed was more suitable for the current situation.
With one unsheathed strike, blood sprayed three feet!
This was the essence of Li Chen’s strike; the core of unsheathing wasn’t strength, but speed!
This strike was an insight Li Chen gained in the nick of time when facing Zi Zhao; without speed, he would’ve long been a corpse.
Now, his cultivation compared to back then was worlds apart, so his speed was faster!
Chu Songlan only felt a flash before his eyes, and a bright crimson appeared directly before him.
"Sshh!!"
Blood flashed past. Although Chu Songlan retreated at high speed, he was still slashed at the chest.
A long, hideous wound appeared on his chest, clearly showing his black clothes in front of him were somewhat damp—stained with blood.
Looking at Li Chen, Chu Songlan’s gaze turned serious for the first time.
"Very well! A young warrior, having such strength, I admire it!"
"But forcing me to use this move, you’ve reached your end!"
"Competing in speed? Interesting." Chu Songlan smirked, his body turning into a streak of light almost imperceptible to the naked eye, vanishing from Li Chen’s sight.
By the time Li Chen reacted, an insidious voice abruptly sounded behind him.
"Soul Reaping Scythe!"
