Xia Chen's fist collided fiercely with He Changtian's spear, and a huge arc of light erupted from the tip of the spear and fist, as if two semicircular barriers had collided.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion shook the heavens, endless fierce winds surging as the two locked in a stalemate in midair, neither yielding an inch.
"Rumble... Their
armors gleamed and unleashed their full power, both trying to suppress the other. But punch and spear kept shaking through the void, producing thunderous sounds, yet neither could defeat the other.
"Wow, I didn't expect this young Xia Chen to be so strong!"
Yin Ting watched Xia Chen's overwhelming might, actually catching the spear barehanded, her master's bearing fully displayed, her eyes full of surprise.
The powerful figures of the Vermilion Bird Empire were also extremely excited, clenching their fists, as if by doing this, they could help Xia Chen with all their strength.
"Boss, I didn't expect it. Is Xia Chen really this strong?"
Guo Ran was dumbfounded. This was terrifying. He only dared to catch a divine weapon barehanded with his supreme arm, but Xia Chen had nothing, yet he dared to do this?
"Xia Chen was already very strong, but last time on Jiuyou Island, he was countered by Liao Bencang's faith domain. His moves simply couldn't be used."
And this guy is so clever. If you look closely, every dragon scale on his body is covered with a tiny talisman.
One hundred eight thousand scales means one hundred eight thousand talismans. Using so many talismans at once, don't you think he's strong? Long Chen said.
After Long Chen explained this, Guo Ran finally noticed that Xia Chen's dragon scales were covered with a small talisman, but the talisman was so small that it wouldn't be visible unless you paid close attention.
"Come on, this guy's Dragon Blood Battle Body is almost as powerful as yours, boss. So he has so many talismans to support him." Only then did Guo Ran suddenly understand. Now, he wasn't so surprised anymore; instead, it felt perfectly natural.
Xia Chen's talismans were truly terrifying; the power of a single talisman was astonishing, and with so many talismans placed together, the power was quite reasonable.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the arc of light in front of them shattered, and both of them retreated simultaneously. In terms of strength, they were evenly matched.
"It's just relying on talismans. Do you really think relying on these external forces can keep you alive?" He Changtian sneered, stepped on the void, and charged at Xia Chen once again.
"Just talismans and seals?" You're truly stupid beyond belief. If you weren't wearing the Tianxi battle armor, if it weren't for the talismans on it, you would have been a corpse long ago. Yet you still dare to speak so outrageously? Xia
Chen sneered. He Changtian kept mocking him for using external power, forgetting that most of his combat power had been boosted by this armor.
He Changtian was furious, but couldn't find words to refute him. His sarcasm was like slapping himself in the face.
"Boom boom boom... He
Changtian was furious, his spear trembling as countless spear shadows appeared. He wanted to vent all his fury.
Xia Chen clad in dragon blood armor, with every movement and movement, faintly heard the sound of a dragon's roar. He swung his fists without retreating, engaging He Changtian head-on.
For a moment, sand and stones flew and rolled, flames swallowed the sky, moving the spectators. Such a fierce battle was truly rare.
"What on earth is going on? A talisman cultivator is actually fighting someone up close? Bro, I'm a talisman cultivator too. Why has Master never told me? "Someone in the crowd shouted.
"Most importantly, it's still a close combat with a powerhouse with Supreme blood. Is this challenging our understanding?" Someone chimed in.
Cultivators of types like talisman cultivators, spiritual cultivators, soul cultivators, and spell cultivators are generally weak in physical form. Yet Xia Chen actually overturned all that common sense. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they simply wouldn't have believed it.
"Boom boom boom...
Xia Chen and He Changtian fought fiercely, swinging fists and kicks, spears flying. Both were fierce and invincible, fighting head-on in an extremely intense battle.
Long Chen watched Xia Chen's attack and couldn't help but show a smile, because many of Xia Chen's attack styles and movements were very similar to his own—clearly imitating his close-combat style.
However, Xia Chen's power actually came from the talismans on his scales, while the dragon blood power was merely the carrier for him to channel the talisman power. After all, he wasn't a true close-combat expert, and during the power transformation, his movements would make some noises, which was inevitable.
Even so, dealing with He Changtian was more than enough. After all, Long Chen had never lost to anyone in close combat in his life, and Xia Chen had learned a bit, which was enough.
However, the runes on Xia Chen's body began to flicker violently, and Guo Ran noticed the problem:
"Boss, it seems like Xia Chen won't last much longer at this rate."
Long Chen nodded and said, "Xia Chen's talismans are still somewhat influenced within He Changtian's domain."
His talisman, under normal circumstances, should be able to continuously absorb the power of heaven and earth, supplying him with a steady stream of energy.
So many talismans together, almost equivalent to a sect's protective grand formation. But after only the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the runes began to flash, indicating that the talismans were starting to show warnings. The power they absorbed was no longer sufficient to support such rapid consumption.
But don't worry, Xia Chen is currently just using He Changtian's power to test the explosive power and endurance of his talismans. His real ultimate move hasn't even unleashed yet. Let's keep watching—hehe, the mouse drags the tree and flips it, the big head is behind him. "
Boom boom boom...
The roaring sounds in the sky continued. Sure enough, the always strong Xia Chen began to show signs of collapse, forced by He Changtian to slowly retreat. Although he showed no signs of defeat, signs of suppression were already evident.
"I told you, relying on external forces is just a shortcut. If you lack your own strength, it's ultimately useless. What awaits you is only death!" Seeing Xia Chen's strength begin to wane, He Changtian roared, his blood and energy surging rapidly, and his aura surged dramatically once again.
"Oh my god, He Changtian hasn't used his full strength all this time. He's been waiting for this opportunity." Someone exclaimed.
"He's trying to decide life and death in just a few moves, leaving Long Chen no chance to rescue him."
People could also see that He Changtian was determined to kill Xia Chen, waiting for the right opportunity. Now, with all his might, he was determined to strike hard.
For a moment, people all looked at Long Chen, wanting to see how he would react, but to their surprise, he showed no reaction at all and remained calm as ever.
"Heavenly Seal revived, myriad beasts unleashed, the wild lion awakened, swallowing and spitting the nine heavens!"
He Changtian swept his spear horizontally, formed hand seals with one hand, and his entire body erupted with blood and energy. His entire body began to burn wildly. Countless divine lights shot out from his armor, each enveloping a fiery beast.
As soon as tens of thousands of fierce beasts appeared, the entire world was sealed off in an instant. These beasts sealed in the Tianxi battle armor suddenly revived, their fierce gazes and chilling killing intent locked onto Xia Chen.
And within the strange phenomenon behind He Changtian, the Heavenly Seal Mad Lion actually poked half its head out from within the vision.
"Roar!"
With that,The Heavenly Seal Mad Lion roared in fury, tens of thousands of fierce beasts opened their mouths at once, countless divine flames shooting like furious arrows toward Xia Chen.
"Die, ten thousand fires will burn the heavens!"
With He Changtian's roar, a thousand arrows flew at once, the void pierced through, and Xia Chen instantly fell into a realm of death, with no escape between heaven and earth.
