Chapter 1205: Battle between Peaks
A pair of black gloves made of divine material appeared on Wang Yang’s hands. Then, he clenched his hands into fists. He shouted as he stood up and threw a punch.
This punch was Wang Yang’s best killing move. As he punched, eighteen pillars of fire soared into the sky as if they would shatter it.
However, the punch that Wang Fang placed his hopes on still failed to achieve a suppressive advantage.
Xiao Chen executed Thunder Dragon Chop, taking twelve steps. With each step, a thousand purple electric dragons shot out from under his feet. They bared their fangs and roared endlessly.
By the time he finished taking twelve steps, he had already gathered over ten thousand electric dragons. The grand scene of more than ten thousand dragons soaring suppressed Wang Yang firmly.
As for Wang Yang, he had put on airs since the very beginning, not willing to stand up. When he stood up, he discovered that Xiao Chen had erupted out with great momentum. By then, he already lost the initiative.
Wang Yang had to pay the price for putting on airs.
“Bang!”
The saber light and fist light clashed. Countless cracks immediately bloomed beneath the two’s feet, spreading throughout the plaza and causing it to crumble.
Dust flew everywhere as all the buildings around the plaza instantly collapsed.
Blood leaked out of a corner of Wang Yang’s lips. Xiao Chen’s tyrannical saber strike planted him deep into the ground.
A look of horror flashed in Wang Yang’s eyes when he discovered that his greatest advantage over Xiao Chen was useless.
Wang Yang did not know what was going on. Xiao Chen, who was only a Great Perfection quasi-Emperor, possessed a peak Consummation will of thunder, even stronger than his own will.
Furthermore, Xiao Chen’s saber soul reached seventy-percent comprehension—which was extremely incredible, utterly unimaginable.
Without giving Wang Yang much time to consider, Xiao Chen took advantage of his initiative and sent out another Thousand Year Hegemony Establishment, gaining the upper hand.
A large number of cities appeared as Xiao Chen stood above the imperial capital. When he swung his saber, he used his domineering air of kingship to materialize a powerful dynasty that had lasted for ten thousand years without falling.
The dynasty in the saber light carried the Luck of a thousand years.
When Xiao Chen’s will of thunder reached its peak, he had gained new comprehensions about this Thousand Year Hegemony Establishment. Every time he executed it, he improved compared to the previous time.
Within the endless mysterious phenomenon, figure after figure appeared at the imperial capital. They knelt down where they were and cried out loudly, “Our emperor, the Azure Dragon King. Long live! Long live! Long live!”
[TL Note: “Long live” is the English equivalent. The literal translation would be “ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand ten thousand years.” Basically, it’s a greeting to the emperor, wishing that he would live for ten thousand years. Other people of royalty would get a similar greeting but just one thousand years instead of ten thousand.]
Lasting for all ages, the dynasty never falls. The heart of the king always has a domineering air extant.
What this saber brought out was a lofty mind, a pride surpassing that of various talents, the domineering air of a king. This produced a shocking and suppressive aura.
Even if you are a half-step Martial Emperor, you have to kneel on the ground!
This outstanding domineering saber strike shocked everyone around. No one expected that Xiao Chen could erupt with such a stunning Medial Grade Profound Martial Technique.
It was extremely difficult for a Great Perfection quasi-Emperor to execute a Medial Grade Profound Martial Technique as a killing move.
However, not only could Xiao Chen familiarly execute a Medial Grade Profound Martial Technique, but he even infused his comprehensions, clearly demonstrating that he already reached Small Perfection.
This feat was simply unbelievable. The talent of this white-robed bladesman was so strong; it was beyond that of a demonic genius.
With this saber strike, Wang Yang, who was already at a disadvantage, no longer had any thoughts of clashing. Now, he completely focused on defense.
He moved his vast Law Energy resulting from his powerful Heavenly Laws. Wind blew in every direction. Because there was too much power of the world being driven, the world started spinning before everyone’s eyes.
Of course, the world was not truly spinning. It was just that the power of the world being driven was too vast, giving rise to the illusion of the world spinning.
A strong person with a determined mind would be able to penetrate this illusion and see the true scene. A thick wall of flames condensed behind Wang Yang.
The dense flames turned into realistic divine fire bricks piled up into a very thick and dense wall.
Bright light gleamed in between the tight cracks between each piece of divine fire brick. Wang Yang brought out the strength of a half-step Martial Emperor without restraint. With his defense at full power, this fire wall nearly cut off space.
However, it was in vain. Wang Yang already lost the initiative and did not have any momentum. With Xiao Chen executing the Thousand Year Hegemony Establishment and materializing the Luck of a dynasty, Wang Yang’s defensive move could not block this horrifyingly powerful saber strike.
The cries of “long live” resounded everywhere. When the saber landed, it instantly cut the divine fire brick wall.
“Ka ca!” The saber light sliced through the divine fire bricks, slowly descending towards Wang Yang.
Wang Yang showed horror on his face. He had not expected that after Xiao Chen seized the initiative, Xiao Chen’s Medial Grade Profound Martial Technique would become so horrifying.
“Bang!”
When the saber chopped the divine fire brick wall in half, it knocked Wang Yang into the air.
The armor around Wang Yang’s chest broke as he vomited large mouthfuls of blood. When he landed, his hair scattered everywhere, reducing him to a sorry state.
In merely three short moves, Xiao Chen, who had the initiative, put Wang Yang at a complete disadvantage.
These three moves also gave Xiao Chen a great boost in confidence. It now appeared that the seemingly undefeatable half-step Martial Emperors were not as horrifying as they were said to be.
At the very least, this Wang Yang before Xiao Chen was just so-so.
He did not use any Medial Grade Profound Martial Techniques—or even a Profound Martial Technique for that matter. He only relied on his strong cultivation; there was nothing to be afraid about with him.
Of course, Xiao Chen was not overly arrogant. For such a half-step Martial Emperor, as long as he did not suffer fatal damage, truly severely injuring him would be extremely difficult.
The other party was not only a quasi-Emperor who had fused his soul with his Heavenly Seal but had also managed to survive the Great Tribulation of wind and fire.
Such a person had a resilient, frighteningly strong lifeforce.
Xiao Chen wanted to test out his own combat prowess, to see where his own limits lay.
After Xiao Chen sent Wang Yang flying with his attack, he did not give chase. He stopped and looked coldly to the front. “Half-step Martial Emperor, you are merely just so-so. Today, I will beat you up until you are convinced of your own loss. I will give you the opportunity to catch your breath.”
These words immediately stunned everyone. This white-robed bladesman was really arrogant!
“Such arrogance! Your strength is indeed unexpectedly strong. However, that is still far from enough to defeat me the way you want to. Even the Great Tribulation of wind and fire could not finish me off. You will definitely not be able to kill me.”
Wang Yang, whose hair was now scattered everywhere and flying in the wind like a burning flame, looked very sinister.
Xiao Chen held up his saber and stood upright. He retorted indifferently, “Is that so? Let’s see how long can you last.
“Kill!”
After giving the other party a chance to catch a breather, Xiao Chen did not hesitate to execute the Thunder Dragon Steps and quickly started fighting with Wang Yang again.
Now, Wang Yang no longer held anything back. He released his vast Law Energy as his hands moved, materializing boundless flames.
Every punch and every palm strike sent out a huge wave of fire, burning even the sky.
Xiao Chen materialized his Flawless saber Dao and his Azure Dragon Battle Armor. He became one with his saber and started an intense clash amid thousands of lightning bolts.
With the strong Azure Dragon Battle Armor, Xiao Chen’s physical body far surpassed his opponent’s.
In every clash, Xiao Chen relied on his own Saber Techniques and his strong physical body and slowly regained the upper hand in the drawn-out battle.
Two flickering figures flashed in the air, exchanging moves without pause. They clashed until the sky turned dark.
The world spun around as they fought. Horrifying mysterious phenomena accompanied the lightning and fire, obscuring the situation inside.
The originally confident Wang Clan members all felt very conflicted as they stared at the battle in the sky.
However, no one could see anything amid the chaos, which made the Wang Clan members even more worried.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a fiery light shot out of the chaotic mysterious phenomena, flying into the distance at a fantastic speed like a sharp arrow.
This fiery light disappeared from the boundaries of Scorching Flame Island in a flash, moving at an incredible speed.
“This is Wang Yang’s Flowing Light Flying Flame Evasion!”
“Damn! Wang Yang actually ran!”
Wang Yang’s escape skill appeared to be very famous. When the spectators saw that lightning-quick flame, they recognized it and were somewhat flabbergasted.
The white-robed bladesman of unknown origins scared off the overlord of Scorching Flame Island, the half-step Martial Emperor Wang Yang.
The lightning and flames slowly disappeared. As Xiao Chen watched the half-step Martial Emperor Wang Yang leave, he could not do anything. The other party was a half-step Martial Emperor. If the other party wanted to leave, given Xiao Chen’s current strength, it would be hard to force the other party to stay. However, such a result was already sufficient to shock people everywhere.
A Great Perfection quasi-Emperor frightened away a half-step Martial Emperor. Such news would probably spread around the entire northern Human-Demon Sea very quickly.
The Wang Clan members below all paled. They had not expected Wang Yang to flee, leaving them behind.
When they reacted to this, they all cried out and scattered in all directions.
Xiao Chen looked around and found Wang Feng. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Chen had already said it very clearly, that if there were any problems to come straight for him. In the end, Wang Feng still involved the entire Su Clan. Such a person should be killed!
Xiao Chen’s figure flashed. He did not care about anyone else. First, he blocked this person from running.
Seeing Xiao Chen in front startled Wang Feng, so he turned and ran.
However, no matter how fast Wang Feng ran, how could he be faster than Xiao Chen, whose Thunder Dragon Steps already reached Great Perfection? An electric dragon shot out from under Xiao Chen’s feet, and Xiao Chen blocked him again.
This repeated a few times. Wang Feng crumbled under this harassment, going crazy. “I’ll fight it out with you!”
Xiao Chen remained expressionless, cold without saying anything. Like an emotionless machine, he drew his saber precisely. Wielding the Flawless saber Dao, he started his slaughter of the other party.
After ten moves, Xiao Chen chopped off the head of Wang Feng, who had no way to block.
Xiao Chen turned back to look. The entire plaza had devolved into chaos. The Wang Clan cultivators had all fled quickly, leaving almost no trace behind.
However, after this battle, the Wang Clan’s foundation and prestige were completely ruined. If they wanted to rebuild, they had to defeat Xiao Chen first; there was no other way. However, Wang Yang, who already fled, would probably find it hard to muster the courage to return.
Arriving before the Su Clan’s Clan Head, Su Tianyun, Xiao Chen handed over some of the Medicinal Pills for treating injuries that he obtained in the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance. He said, “Sorry, I still ended up implicating you all in the end. Here are some peak-quality King Grade Medicinal Pills. They should be able to help you all recover quickly from your wounds.”
The Su Clan’s descendants and their elders were all severely injured. Otherwise, others could not have tied them up with ropes.
With Xiao Chen’s Medicinal Pills, their recovery would be easy.
Su Tianyun asked, “You obtained the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance?”
