Chapter 958 - Demon Slaughtering Array
Long Chen smirked and continued, “But I think we should forget it. You’re just some girl; you surely do not have the guts to fight me and give your title away just like that. I think I should just go, so that I don’t rain on your parade. I can offend anyone, but not a beautiful girl. Everyone, don’t you agree?”
Long Chen’s mocking words triggered laughter in the crowd.
For a while, laughter covered the whole arena.
Many people thought that Long Chen’s insults were endearing.
There was a huge cheer.
This made Su Xue endlessly furious. She clenched her fists tight, gritted her teeth, and glared at Long Chen with bloodshot eyes. Finally, she took a few steps forward. When the judge was about to chase Long Chen away, she attacked Long Chen with her Ghost Hand!
“Die!” The large Ghost Hand slammed at Long Chen’s hand.
“Too slow.” Long Chen laughed and turned into golden lightning, dodging her attack. The Ghost Hand slammed into the stage, causing the ground to tremble.
“Does this mean that you’re agreeing to what I said?” Long Chen asked calmly, standing three meters behind her.
Just as Long Chen wished, Su Xue announced to everyone furiously, “You came here looking for death, so of course I am happy to oblige. If I lose, first place is yours!”
This was her response. “Ghost Hand!”
Ink-green mist poured out of both her arms, forming two gigantic arms with countless ghosts weaving around them. The ghosts wailed shrilly, and when Long Chen looked behind him, he saw Su Xue charging with the two Ghost Hands!
This time, Su Xue had learned her lesson and moved even quicker than before. The Ghost Hands arrived in front of Long Chen!
“I will make you understand what the Divine Martial Realm truly means!”
There was an impossibly mighty source of power originating from her body. It was as if he was not looking at a small human, but a gigantic beast crouching in front of him. This gigantic beast had 9,999 meridian points and a hundred thousand meridians. Every meridian point was like a star in the night sky, while the veins were tunnels connecting the stars. An abundance of power flowed between the meridians—it was Divine Essence!
When one reached the Divine Martial Realm, their body was many times tougher than that of someone at the Earthly and Heavenly Martial Realms.
Long Chen realized that he understood the Divine Martial Realm better now. Such a small body should not have been able to hold this much power, but it was different when it came to the Divine Martial Realm. There was a saying that went, “The mustard seed can hold Mount Meru.” [1]
The storage ring had the same concept, and a Divine Martial Realm cultivator was like a natural storage ring. In his world, his body was infinitely huge, but to others, the size of his body did not change.
Her Ghost Hand attack was supported by copious amounts of essence! It was not an attack Long Chen could withstand, even if he used all the essence in his body!
However, he could move faster than her!
Golden lightning appeared on every inch of his skin, densely covering his body. The Hell Soul Lightning’s conditioning of his body had given him ultimate speed. With a soft cry, his body turned into lightning and his speed skyrocketed. Long Chen escaped the Ghost Hands by borrowing the power of lightning!
“Emperor’s Manual, Emperor’s Arrival!
“Emperor’s Manual, Shifting Galaxies!”
He unleashed the golden fist seal through his left hand. It contained an aura that made everyone feel like submitting to him. At the same time, black fist seal came from his left hand, which was filled with an unstoppable, violent force!
Duels like this one filled Long Chen with passion and excitement. He let out a dragon-like roar, which contained endless excitement. He realized that he had gone somewhat mad, and he was filled with a dragon’s pride. The violence of the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon made him feel like he was going to explode.
The slumbering ancestral blood had awakened in his body and merged with his attack. It felt like millions of dragons were roaring in his body!
Long Chen had a feeling that he was about to receive even more of the Inherited Blood Essence. Compared to the last time he received it, he was much stronger now. It was about time too.
“The fight has only just begun.”
Golden lightning and essence gathered in his body. Then he punched again. It was a simple punch, but it contained power that only Divine Martial Realm cultivators had!
“Crushing Void!”
Boom!
The surrounding space trembled as the attack flew at Su Xue. She was not bothered initially, but after the attack equivalent to a Rank Two Divine-tier technique was released, Su Xue felt a suffocating pressure.
Long Chen seemed to be the King of Massacre, standing above all beings. At the same time, he was like a super beast. The pride and regalness of a ruler was mixed with his aura, creating a huge impact on her Divine Martial Soul!
What a madman! Su Xue found that she was starting to respect Long Chen. This brat could unleash power far beyond his cultivation level.
Su Xue did not possess such violent madness.
In the stands above, the Fluttering Blood sword in the City Lord’s hands seemed to sense Long Chen’s intentions. It started to cry excitedly, vibrating vigorously in her hand.
“It has found an owner most suitable for it,” said the City Lord in shock, trying to soothe it.
Her brother grinned. “Of course. I’m very confident in Long Chen.”
Although Long Chen was currently on the losing side, he still firmly believed that his friend would win!
The power of Crushing Void made Su Xue panic.
She calmed her mind.
“Whatever. I’ll kill you for peace of mind.” After this calm statement, she placed her palms together and quickly made a seal. Ink-green runes appeared on her palms, which quickly expanded into a large, circular array that spun quickly.
“Killing God Sutra, Demon Slaughtering Array!”
The whole world fell silent when her ice-cold voice rang out.
Boom!
There was a loud boom, and the ink-green array quickly transformed. An ink-green mist burst from the array, which formed countless Underworld Ghosts. They radiated a violent and icy energy, arranging themselves in formation to surround Long Chen.
“Die.” Su Xue activated the Demon Slaughtering Array with a smile.
1. I found the backstory of this saying online, and I’m paraphrasing here. It is from Buddhism, and the full saying is: “Mount Meru can hold a mustard seed, and a mustard seed can hold Mount Meru.”
Origin story:
Once, a monk in the Tang dynasty mentioned this saying to a scholar, but the scholar replied, “Are you lying to me? While the former is possible, the latter is nonsense.”
The monk replied, “Don’t you pride yourself on reading ten thousand scrolls?”
The scholar replied, “I’ve read more scrolls than that!”
The monk replied, “So how did you fit all those scrolls in your head?”
The scholar then understood. ☜
