Chapter 504 – Fighting Against a Fourth Grade Combat King (1/2)
Chapter 504 - Fighting Against a Fourth Grade Combat King
Everyone felt strange about this, wondering what the background of this young man was. At the beginning, he stood together with the Asura Palace in the fight against the Heavenhawk Island Master. But now, he had actually switched teams, and was helping that monk against the Asura Palace. Which side did he really belong to?
The crowd was left speechless, as no one knew why this young man suddenly switched sides and was helping that monk, even going as far as to offend the Asura Palace for him. No, it wasn’t just the Asura Palace, the other three major powers were also hunting that monk, it was just that they had yet to arrive at this place.
Many people were thinking similar thoughts. Although this young man possessed extraordinary talent and incredible skills, it seemed that his brain was not functioning properly. Even if he really wanted to help, he should at least be able to understand how big the gap between him and his enemy was. His enemy was clearly a Fourth Grade Combat King, so poking his head out to help the monk at this moment was no different from courting death.
“Kid, what did you just say? You want to help that monk? Are you honestly seeking death?”
Li Hao immediately scolded Jiang Chen. He was left speechless the last time when Jiang Chen humiliated him, but everything was different now. With Ling Yi present at the scene, he had no fear of Jiang Chen.
“You have no idea who you’re facing. This is the Eighth Tycoon of the Asura Palace, how dare you stand against him? I really don’t know where you’ve found your courage. Our Tycoon has forgiven you for setting the Heavenhawk Island Master free, however, not only do you not feel grateful for this, you still want to get involved. It looks like you’re tired of living in this world.”
Xiu Rui also didn’t want to miss this chance to retaliate.
“Hmph! Jiang Chen, I can pretend that I never heard your words. Now, as long as you scram from my sight, I promise I won’t kill you.”
Ling Yi coldly harrumphed and said to Jiang Chen.
“I’m sorry. I, Jiang Chen am actually reluctant to have an unpleasant relationship with Tycoon and the Asura Palace. As long as Tycoon promises me not to cause any trouble for this monk, we will still be friends. What do you think?”
Jiang Chen responded. One way or another, he had decided to help this monk today. At this moment, the monk was at the most critical moment of his absorption of the sarira, and if he was disturbed, he would definitely suffer a backlash, of even a Qi Deviation, which was devastating.
“Where did this kid come from? Why is he poking his nose into the business of others?”
“Sigh… he really is a typical example of a reckless young man. Don’t tell me he thinks that with his strength, he can really fight against the Eighth Tycoon of the Asura Palace?”
“None of the Thirteen Tycoons are kind men, and the same goes for this Ling Yi. By not giving this Ling Yi any face, I’m sure that this young man will suffer later on.”
It was a plain eye-sore for all the spectators to see this situation. In their minds, this young white-clothed man was unable to appreciate favors, and didn’t know his own limits.
“Hmph! Where did this reptile come from? How dare you get in my way? I heard you’re capable of killing Second Grade Combat Kings, but don’t think for a moment that you can look down on everything just because of that mere achievement! Today, I, the Eighth Tycoon will let you know that there is always someone stronger than you out there.”
Ling Yi coldly harrumphed once more. Without hesitating, he forcefully punched out. The punch forcefully ripped apart the space as it crushed its way toward Jiang Chen’s head.
The distance between Ling Yi and Jiang Chen was really close, and as Ling Yi was incredibly fast, together with his Four Grade Combat King cultivation, if his target was an ordinary man, no one would be able to withstand this mighty blow, let alone dodge it. With just this punch alone, their head would explode in an instant.
But of course, Jiang Chen was no ordinary man. After breaking through to the Combat King realm, he was able to fight Ling Yi.
Pa!
Within a split second, Jiang Chen punched out to counter the attack, causing his fist to collide with Ling Yi’s. Right at the center of the collision, the tremendous force caused the space to explode into a void, sending frightening shockwaves in all directions.
Tap.
This was a melee exchange, and no fancy techniques were involved. Ling Yi sensed an enormous force coming from Jiang Chen’s punch, forcing him to take a step back before stabilizing his body.
On the opposite side, Jiang Chen’s body could only be seen briefly swaying. Since he was cultivating the Dragon Transformation skill, he body grew stronger with every passing second, giving him a nearly indestructible body. When fighting a melee battle, no one would be a match for him.
”What?!”
Ling Yi who wore a lofty expression simply cried out in shock. The way he looked at Jiang Chen had completely changed. He never expected Jiang Chen to really withstand his punch, and not only that, this guy had actually forced him to take a step back. This was truly unbelievable.
Ling Yi rested his eyes on Jiang Chen’s face, and kept examining him up and down. Gradually, his underestimation toward this young man disappeared. He realized that Jiang Chen’s aura was actually that of a First Grade Combat King, and not a Combat Soul warrior like Li Hao and Xiu Rui had told him previously.
“How could this be possible? How did he suddenly become so strong?”
“He has broken through to the Combat King realm! Damn it, he was just a peak Combat Soul warrior moments ago, how come he broke through to the Combat King realm so quickly?! This is absurd!”
Li Hao and Xiu Rui’s eyes went wide, and they stared at Jiang Chen as if they were looking at a ghost. In just a few hours, this guy had broken through to the Combat King realm from the Late Combat Soul realm. This could no longer be described as groundbreaking news, it was simply frightening.
However, something even more terrifying had just happened right before their eyes. Even though Jiang Chen had become a First Grade Combat King, that didn’t mean he could defeat a Fourth Grade Combat King, as there was a huge gap of three grades between them. This was absurd!
“Oh heavens, this young man is really amazing! When he struck and killed a Second Grade Combat King earlier, I already thought he was very frightening! But now, he’s actually capable of fighting Ling Yi, a Fourth Grade Combat King!”
“If I remember correctly, he was only a peak Combat Soul warrior back on the Heavenhawk Island, but now, he has become a First Grade Combat King! Could he really have done that in just a few hours? Comprehend the Spatial Laws and step into the Combat King realm? How could this be possible?”
“Extraordinary! What a monster, no wonder he has the guts to stand in the way of Ling Yi! He actually has the strength to do so!”
