Chapter 295: Breaking the Predicament (2/2)
“Flickering Light Pa.s.sing Shadows!”
In the time for a spark to fly, Murong Chong revealed himself. A bright light exploded in Xiao Chen’s vision. This light was so dazzling that the eyes felt a mild pain.
“This is not good! This is the Flickering Light Pa.s.sing Shadows; quickly close your eyes.”
When this resplendent light radiated, some of the engrossed cultivators in the spectator stands felt a sharp pain in their eyes; they had gone temporarily blind.
Instantly, there were miserable cries. Some of the more alert cultivators had closed their eyes in advance and avoided this.
“Pu ci!”
The resplendent saber Qi formed by the Qi Breaks Wukui crashed into that light with a ‘boom.’ The light immediately scattered.
Murong Chong split into nine figures. Each of the figures flickered with a white light. When the white light formed, it was dazzling; it was difficult to differentiate the real from the fake.
“Roaming Dragon’s Nine Transformations! Clear Wind Chop!”
Xiao Chen squinted, and his body shook once where he was. Then, he turned into nine cool breezes. Each of the cool breezes carried a figure, rus.h.i.+ng at Murong Chong’s light figures.
“Dang! Dang! Dang!”
A chaotic battle occurred on the scene. Eighteen figures fought their own skirmish in the arena.
The sounds of the metal clanging, combined with the various figures, made it impossible for the crowd to differentiate the real from the fake. Some of them even started to feel dizzy.
Logically speaking, when Xiao Chen merged the Roaming Dragon’s Nine Transformations and the Clear Wind Chop, it was slightly stronger than Murong Chong’s Flickering Light Pa.s.sing Shadows.
Unfortunately, Murong Chong was very familiar with the Clear Wind Chop. The hidden killing intent was ineffective against him. Furthermore, this was the first time Xiao Chen had come in contact with the Flickering Light Pa.s.sing Shadows. In the situation where his vision was obstructed, he suffered a slight disadvantage.
I can’t carry on like this. I have to execute the killing moves, Xiao Chen thought to himself.
“Wukui Blossoms!”
Xiao Chen shouted, and suddenly, purple light erupted out from under the feet of the nine figures. Nine flower buds appeared on the ground and completely enveloped all of Xiao Chen’s figures.
When Murong Chong’s saber struck a flower bud, there was no fluctuation at all; he was not able to stop the flower buds from growing.
“Flickering Light Pa.s.sing Shadows, Nine Figures Combined Chop!”
Murong Chong shouted, and the nine figures Murong Chong formed flickered with layers of white light and combined. They then transformed into a beam of light and rushed forward.
The instant Murong Chong’s nine figures of light merged, the nine flower buds on the ground merged as well.
“Boom!”
When the flower buds merged, they blossomed. The purple flower petals filled the sky. Xiao Chen’s feet pushed off the ground, and he moved past the flower petals, rus.h.i.+ng at Murong Chong.
Purple light from the flower petals fell on Xiao Chen, instantly raising his speed to two times the speed of sound.
The purple light and the white light both tore through the air. They left behind long trails of shockwaves. They both exchanged blows amidst the flower petals filling the air.
“Pu Ci!”
The instant they met, they quickly struck out with their sabers. They continued to move in the direction they aimed.
After Murong Chong stood firmly, he looked at the blood leaking from his wound on the chest. A look of disbelief overtook his handsome face. How could his speed be faster than mine?
In the time for a spark to fly, Xiao Chen’s saber had pierced his chest. Furthermore, Murong Chong’s saber had only pierced an after-image Xiao Chen left behind.
The flower petals that filled the sky all floated towards the wound on Murong Chong’s chest, pouring in quickly.
“Dang! Dang! Dang!”
Murong Chong exhibited his state of wind to the limits. He used a flickering saber light to smash all the incoming flower petals into oblivion. Only about ten flower petals entered the wound.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Only ten flower petals flew in. The might of Wukui Supporting the Heavens would significantly weaken. There was no way the roots could grow.
However, there was no point in not firing a nocked arrow. If Xiao Chen hesitated, and Murong Chong forced out the flower petals, all would be for naught.
Xiao Chen shouted, “Wukui Supporting the Heavens! Explode!”
The restlessly churning thunderclouds above immediately gave off a crackle of thunder. The instant thunder crackled, an exploding sound came from Murong Chong’s chest.
The wound on his chest suddenly exploded, and the shockwaves flung Murong Chong to the ground.
“How could this be? Murong Chong was actually blasted back.” Up until now, since the fight had begun, Xiao Chen, who was not originally favored by the crowd, had not yet collapsed.
Xiao Chen had lasted for such a long time and not suffered from too great a disadvantage yet. Now, he even blasted Murong Chong away, sending him flying. This exceeded everybody’s expectation.
“Wukui Shakes the Heavens!”
Xiao Chen’s aura blazed. While Murong Chong’s aura diminished, Xiao Chen took advantage of that moment to leap into the air and execute the Wukui Shakes the Heavens, the other killing move of the Wukui Saber Technique.
A divine Wukui Tree descended down like a mountain and pressed Murong Chong to the ground violently.
However, just at this moment, layers of white clouds flew in from the horizon. In a short while, it occupied half the sky. They pushed away about half of the thunderclouds made of Xiao Chen’s state of thunder.
