Chapter 468: Played in the Palm of One’s Hand
Xie Ziwen gaped in horror at the flame ribbons that had already stretched beyond a thousand meters. He had not expected Xiao Chen to withstand the temperature of the flames.
After a moment of shock, Xie Ziwen reacted. He moved his five fingers to control the other five outermost ribbons, increasing their length again.
Xie Ziwen intended to trap Xiao Chen within the ribbons again. This time, as long as he managed to trap Xiao Chen, he did not mind spending more time and avoiding any risks.
Xiao Chen smiled when he saw the extended flame ribbons. How could he make the same error twice?
“Go down!” Xiao Chen shouted. He merged his Vital Qi and Essence. His strength reached 400,000 kilograms of force as he pulled on the five ribbons in his right hand.
Then, the crowd saw an astonis.h.i.+ng scene. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen had yanked the ribbons hard enough to send their master flying through the air, and he fell heavily towards the ground.
[TL note: It seems like the flames ribbons were attached to Xie Ziwen’s fingers, and he was not telepathically controlling them.]
“Bang!”
Xie Ziwen fell heavily into the river a thousand meters outside of the courtyard. A huge splash flew into the air, and the water rippled.
“Chi! Chi!”
When the flame ribbons fell into the water, they continued to burn. As water and fire did not mix well, the fire increased the temperature of the water until it boiled.
Steam rose ceaselessly from the surface of the river. Soon, the steam spread through the entire place.
Xiao Chen felt the flame ribbons in his hand start to weaken. He did not hesitate to yank the flame ribbons up. A huge force immediately tore Xie Ziwen from the water.
It seems that he cannot scatter this Dance of a Thousand Flames in an instant, Xiao Chen realized. Otherwise, the moment I had caught hold of the ribbons, Xie Ziwen would have scattered them immediately.
This is good. Xiao Chen gripped the flame ribbon with the dragon claw powered by his Vital Qi and Essence, flinging his opponent to the ground without pause.
Instantly, Xie Ziwen seemed bound by rope, and Xiao Chen tossed him across the ground.
Xie Ziwen’s body crashed into everything within a thousand meters radius of Xiao Chen. Every time he crashed into the ground, the impact created a ma.s.sive pit.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Deep pits immediately filled the surrounding courtyard. The commotion from the fight drew the pa.s.sing cultivators.
Xiao Chen, who was in the sky, looked like he was playing with a toy. He flung around a peak Superior Grade Martial King. Everyone’s jaws dropped; they felt that this scene was incredulous.
“d.a.m.n it! His strength is ridiculous!”
All of the outstanding talents from the various nations occupying the courtyard could not help but exclaim.
Surprisingly, Xiao Chen toyed with an expert from the Great Jin Nation’s Evil Moon Pavilion.
About seven minutes ago, perils had still surrounded Xiao Chen. In only seven minutes, the situation had changed completely. It happened so fast that no one had time to react to it.
“Xiu!”
Xiao Chen’s hand relaxed, and he discovered that the flame ribbons had already vanished. He examined Xie Ziwen on the ground and did not hesitate to rush over. His figure flashed, and as he flew closer, he executed the Roaming Dragon’s Nine Transformations, creating nine figures that looked identical.
Xie Ziwen lay miserably within a deep pit. His hair was messy, and his complexion was pale. Blood trickled from his lips, and his clothes were tattered.
When he saw Xiao Chen land, a look of hatred flashed in his eyes. He held his palms together, and rings of flames appeared, spreading out from his body relentlessly.
This was his one of his best techniques—the Flaming Ring Wind Palm.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The blazing flames carried a ferocious energy. They shattered all of Xiao Chen’s clones, making them vanish.
When Xie Ziwen saw the final figure in the air, he shouted coldly, “Die!”
Xie Ziwen pulled back all of his flame rings and gathered all of the fire-attributed energy into his right palm.
A flame as resplendent as the sun appeared on Xie Ziwen’s palm. The surrounding air seemed to be burned by this flame.
Countless stars appeared in the air. They glowed like fluorescent lamps.
“Boom!”
The palm wind struck the final Xiao Chen and blasted him to bits; he died without an intact corpse.
Oh no! It broke in one move! Xie Ziwen’s expression changed greatly.
Xie Ziwen quickly spun around and sent out a palm strike. An intense flaming palm wind instantly blasted outward.
“Ka ca!” Xiao Chen’s true body appeared. His right hand grasped his saber hilt firmly as he instantly executed Drawing the Saber with the fastest speed he could muster.
A purple bolt of lightning tore through the surging flames, hacking at Xie Ziwen.
“Pu ci!”
In the time for a spark to fly, Xiao Chen’s sudden attack broke through Xie Ziwen’s defenses, leaving a long wound across the other party’s shoulder.
“Bang!”
The surging energy from the saber knocked Xie Ziwen’s body back a hundred meters.
Flickering electricity lingered on Xie Ziwen’s wound. He was horrified, What Martial Technique is this? He managed to hide his killing Qi completely!
