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 moment, between heaven and earth, it seemed only that sword light remained.
Tens of meters 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, couldnât 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 somewhat biasedâthey 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 merely hindered his movements, he realized how troublesome 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 wasnât 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 time, he closed his eyes as he released the arrow, emitting a muffled grunt from the strain on the bowstring.
âBoom!â
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.
âRoar!â
The explosive sound boomed, 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 meters through the air.
It was as if a mushroom cloud had exploded.
On the ground, Yan Qingâs mouth was agape, Yue Shan and others arrived just in time to witness the scene, their eyes filled with disbelief. The astonishment in their hearts was indescribable; such a horrific standoff was definitely not something the Gang Condensation Realm could unleash.
Even the former Master Zhang Xuan couldnât 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 some initiative.
Lord Chen was terrifying indeed!
Yue Shan, Yan Qing, Yang Feng, and the others simultaneously gasped in a breath of cold air.
âOld Yue, should we help the lord out?â
Yan Qing turned his gaze towards Yue Shan.
Aside from Chen Yuan, Yue Shanâs strength was the strongest and they temporarily regarded him as their core of support.
âDonât act recklessly,â 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 couldnât 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 shame for being unable to help Chen Yuan, which surged continuously in their hearts.
The man in blackâs arrow was within Chen Yuanâs 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 meters separated him from the man in black.
This distance was already very close. Chen Yuan could even see the flicker of panic in the manâs eyes. With a shake of his right arm, Chen Yuan vigorously thrusted a fist.
His bodyâs 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 eyesâ 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 somewhat 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 Yuanâs fist power reached him, and his launched arrow was also now at close quarters to Chen Yuan. However, Chen Yuanâs 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 hadnât breached the protection of Dragon Scale; this time was naturally no exception.
âBang!â
âBang!â
The sounds of two grunts almost coincided, Chen Yuanâs fist power hammered on the manâs 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 some disturbance in his Qi and blood, affecting his internal organs.
However, Chen Yuan did not retreat to offset some of the force, instead managing to rush forward again, closing a few more meters to the man in black.
Although his punch hadnât caused much harm to the man in black, he had nevertheless managed to close within three meters of his vicinity.
Worth it!
At this distance, the man in blackâs archery was useless, forced to fight Chen Yuan up close.
âRidiculous, you think being close to me means you can defeat me?â
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 extremely strong,
but he was certainly competent.
And Chen Yuan?
Perhaps his physical strength was indeed far superior to others at the same 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 wouldnât possibly have been able to take on his Blood Arrows.
Unexpected gain.
He hadnât expected that, apart from obtaining the Primordial Crystal, there would be another unexpected gain.
âThen try it.â
Chen Yuan didnât waste much time talking, and with a punch, he struck directly at the man in blackâs 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 slammed together with a âbangâ.
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.
âBang! Bang! Bang!â
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 couldnât stay aloft for long.
The two were more like gliding, relying on each otherâs force.
Long legs swept fiercely and forcefully.
Since his transportation to this world, Chen Yuan had been continuously practicing the basic movement 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 couldnât exert his Power on the man in black.
Similarly, the man in black was in the same position.
âKill!â
Chen Yuan roared, his punch carrying unprecedented force struck on the man in blackâs right arm, a clear sound of bone cracking could be heard.
Yet such pain did not change the opponentâs expression at all; their lash out with a whip kick hit Chen Yuanâs chest, both grunted in unison, but still, Chen Yuan held a slight advantage.
This place had become their exclusive battleground, while Yue Shan, Yan Qing, and others below wanted to help, they couldnât intervene, his hidden weapons had tried before, but couldnât penetrate the man in blackâs protective Gang Qi.
Nor did they pose any threat to him.
The longer they fought, the more shocked the man in black became because Chen Yuan was somewhat abnormal, managing to withstand such consumption; now not showing any signs of fatigue at all,
instead, he was getting stronger as the fight progressed.
âMission failed, I must leaveâŠâ
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 madmen.
âChen Yuan, letâs stop; I canât kill you, and you canât kill me either,â the man in black said in a rather calm tone.
This was the best outcome for both parties now.
âFine.â
Chen Yuanâs mouth twitched, but his movements didnât stop at all, instead his speed increased even more, striking like a fierce storm.
âCrazy.â
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, somersaulted in mid-air.
He created distance and was about to retreat.
But at that moment, Chen Yuanâs 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 wasnât something 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 blackâs physique wasnât 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 Yuanâs Gang Qi. Even if his physique was inferior, he could still hold his ground.
Therefore, from that moment, 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!
