Chapter 851: Battling Bi Jian

Bi Jian no longer wanted to talk with Jian Chen. He directly threw a wind-like punch at Jian Chen that whistled through the air with an ear-piercing sound. The powerful driving force seemed to compress the space it passed.

Jian Chen had made his preparations to battle against Bi Jian long ago. Facing Bi Jian’s sudden attack, he did not panic at all, remaining calm and unperturbed. His eyes were cold; he had no intention of dodging, immediately filling up every corner of his body with Chaotic Force. He pushed the second layer of his Chaotic Body to the limit, he planned to use Bi Jian’s punch to measure the strength of his Chaotic Force.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, Bi Jian’s steel-hard fist struck Jian Chen’s chest mercilessly. A powerful force exploded, forming visible ripples that radiated outward.

Jian Chen’s body shook violently. He lost control and was sent flying backward for hundreds of meters by the power of the fist. However, Jian Chen’s expression remained the same. He was clearly uninjured.

Bi Jian was also knocked backward by a hundred meters by the reactive force. When his fist hit Jian Chen’s body, he felt like he had hit an extremely tough steel board that had even made his arm go numb.

“What a powerful body.” Bi Jian was secretly shocked and he looked toward Jian Chen. He saw that Jian Chen had not even flinch and was completely unharmed. Bi Jian was astounded and disbelief flooded his face.

“How is that possible? He used his body to withstand a blow from me and he’s not injured at all! Even the powerful bodies of beasts of antiquities cannot do this. How did he do it?” Bi Jian finally became rather stern, no longer looking down on Jian Chen.

Several hundred meters away, Jian Chen stared into Bi Jian’s eyes as he floated above the sea. He rubbed his chest that had become slightly painful from the attack and asked, “What heavenly layer are you on?” Although Jian Chen’s powerful presence could detect Bi Jian’s strength, he was unable to determine Bi Jian’s exact cultivation.

“The Seventh Heavenly Layer. I wonder what method you cultivate to have such a powerful body? Is there perhaps some protective treasure?” Bi Jian asked with a deep voice. From Jian Chen’s presence, he could tell that he was a human from a single glance and not a magical beast. He struggled to believe that a human could have a body as tough as a beast of antiquity.

“The Seventh Heavenly Layer is only so much?” Jian Chen chuckled to himself. He was extremely satisfied with the defense of the second layer. It was actually able to receive a blow from a Seventh Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler and come out unscathed. Even though it was just a casual strike, it was enough to indicate just how powerful and terrifying the Chaotic Body was.

With what Jian Chen had said, Bi Jian’s dignity seemed to be greatly offended. He immediately fell into a rage and roared out, “Your powerful body doesn’t mean that you have the same strength. Since you dare to talk big, I’ll let you see my true strength.”

Surging ripples of energy began to pour turbulently from Bi Jian. It quickly coalesced into a light blue great sword of a palm’s width; he had materialized his Saint Weapon. Shortly afterward, Bi Jian moved, shooting toward Jian Chen like a lightning bolt and stabbing the sword in his hand at Jian Chen with the ripples of energy. Wherever the sword passed by, space would be cut open and form a pitch-black crack.

This time, Bi Jian had used all his strength. He did not hold back at all.

Jian Chen’s expression became stern; strands of Chaotic Force began to spew out from his chaotic neidan and gathered in his right fist. He threw his fist toward Bi Jian’s sword, using his body to fend off an attack from a Seventh Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler.

“You dare to use your fist to match my Saint Weapon? Such arrogance.” Bi Jian sneered. He knew that Jian Chen’s body was extremely powerful but he did not believe that Jian Chen was able to block his attack with the Saint Weapon with just his body. This was because the fist from before was only a test. Now that he used his full strength, the power produced was definitely something beyond the fist from before.

Bang!

Jian Chen’s punch collided intensely with Bi Jian’s Saint Weapon. With a boom, vast ripples of energy burst forth, causing the surroundings space to distort and constantly shake. Hundred-meter waves formed on the now turbulent ocean beneath them.

Bi Jian’s Saint Weapon broke through Jian Chen’s Chaotic Body. The sharp end of the sword pierced through his flesh but it only entered by an inch before coming to a halt, unable to advance any further.

Fresh blood flowed from Jian Chen’s fist. A drop of it fell into the ocean below and immediately dyed the blue seawater red. It expanded into a radius of five kilometers and caused the seawater to be filled with a sliver of pure and powerful energy.

Although he had injured Jian Chen, Bi Jian could not become happy at all. He stared at Jian Chen with his eyes bulging, while waves of shock brewed in his heart. “How is that possible? My full-powered strike with my Saint Weapon only caused him some skin-deep wounds. Just what body does he have? It’s unbelievably tough.”

While Bi Jian was stunned, Jian Chen had already pulled back his fist. Ignoring the blood on it, he threw it at Bi Jian again with the sharp whistling of wind.
