Chapter 538: Outstanding Heroes Fighting a Martial Monarch
The green-robed old man in the sky revealed astonishment in his eyes. He had used fifty percent of his strength in his kick. Even a peak Great Perfection half-step Martial Monarch would have been severely injured or dead.
However, Xiao Chen still had the strength to stand up. Not only that, he could even run so fast.
“What a strong physical body!” The green-robed old man laughed maniacally. “However, no matter how strong your physical body is, you are just a Martial King. Time to die!”
The green-robed old man’s figure flashed. He appeared before Xiao Chen like he teleported.
The Quintessence of the green-robed old man gathered at his feet and the surrounding winds formed a tornado beneath him. At this moment, the winds converged around him like they were obeying his commands.
Xiao Chen seemed like he had eyes behind his head. He did not even look back before spinning around to deliver a kick. His was not as fast as the green-robed old man’s, so he could only try and antic.i.p.ate the old man’s moves.
“Bang! Bang!”
Xiao Chen’s kick struck the old man’s foot. He vomited another mouthful of blood as he shot forward again. Somersaulting to dissipate the force from the old man’s kick, he continued flying forward.
The first time, he did not even see me kick. Now, he unexpectedly was able to antic.i.p.ate my action; he even borrowed the force of my action to increase his momentum.
The green-robed old man’s face sank. His figure flickered, leaving behind afterimages as he quickly chased after Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen looked back and a ferocious purple flame started burning in his eye. With a thought, the earth-shattering purple flame spewed out of his right eye.
The green-robed old man chasing Xiao Chen was flying too fast. The purple flames struck him and all his clothes and hair started burning.
“Pu!”
Robust Quintessence exploded from the old man. The purple flames remained lit for only one breath before they were smothered.
The old man’s clothes were burned to tatters. His hair gave off black smoke and he looked very miserable.
He was not injured, but he felt extremely angered. Someone from the junior generation was playing with a bona fide Martial Monarch like him this way. “How hateful! I will definitely kill you today!”
A powerful sonic boom roared in the air. The green-robed old man executed his Movement Technique at its limit, arriving before Xiao Chen in a few breaths.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Then, he raised his hand and fired out the Thunder Fire Sword. After that, he turned around and ran without even bothering to check what it did.
The Thunder Fire Sword burned with a purple flame. The Thunder Fire Sword that Leng Yue tempered had its speed and might increased four times. Within a hundred meters, it could reach a speed faster than Mach 5.
Just after the old man appeared before Xiao Chen, the Thunder Fire Sword arrived in front of his head, startling him.
“Chi!”
Before the old man could react, the Thunder Fire Sword was already at point-blank range. Right then, he did not have enough time to deploy his Quintessence s.h.i.+eld. At the critical moment, the old man could only tilt his head to try and dodge.
The fast Thunder Fire Sword brushed past the old man’s face. The sharp wind that followed the sword left a shallow wound on his left cheek.
This delay allowed Xiao Chen to run farther. He also injured the old man.
Being played by someone from the junior generation infuriated the old man. He trembled and said in a quavering voice, “d.a.m.n it! d.a.m.n it!”
“Bang! Bang!”
The old man stomped twice and the entire place immediately trembled. The surrounding people were thrown off balance; this showed how strong these stomps were.
“I don’t believe that I can’t catch you.”
The green-robed old man shouted furiously as he chased after Xiao Chen in a straight line. He smashed the buildings in the way directly into dust.
Xiao Chen left his Spiritual Sense locked on the green-robed old man. Without looking behind, he could sense the old man’s every move.
Xiao Chen floated to the floor and gently set Leng Yue down. Then, he turned around to face the old man. The twenty-four acupoints on his arms opened and two Azure Dragon Tattoos started moving quickly.
“A mantis trying to stop a chariot!”
[TL note: A mantis trying to stop a chariot: This means overrating oneself and attempting something impossible.]
When the green-robed old man saw Xiao Chen stop, as though Xiao Chen wanted to block him, the old man could not help but smile disdainfully. He gathered Quintessence in his right palm, which immediately glowed up with a resplendent light.
“Roar! Roar!”
Two loud dragon roars resounded and the Azure Dragons on Xiao Chen’s arm came to life. They left his arm and became two impressive flows of Dragon Qi, roaring ferociously as they rushed out bearing fangs and claws.
When the dragons roared, a Dragon’s Might spread out. It felt like the Azure Dragons were real. They glared savagely with their eyes and unexpectedly, fear appeared in the green-robed old man’s heart.
“Bang! Bang!”
The two dragons intertwined and smashed heavily into the green-robed old man’s palm. A surging force exploded out, blasting azure shock waves into the surroundings.
Caught off-guard, several cultivators were sent flying by the shock wave.
