Chapter 76 The Terrifying Ying Hou

Ying Hou coldly smiled both mockingly and disdainfully. His hand which was now covered with bulging veins brandished his sword, causing it to slice through s.p.a.ce.

BOOM! Terrifying waves of Qi surged out violently, causing the entire mountain valley to tremble.

Long Chen suddenly felt as if he had been smashed by a huge mountain. He was sent tumbling through the air, vomiting out blood.

He rolled dozens of meters and spit out another mouthful of blood. His insides felt as if they were on fire. Long Chen’s face was covered with shock and terror.

Ying Hou’s words from before had not just been to frighten him. They had been the truth. When Qi and physical power superimposed, the strength that could be unleashed was truly enough to cause a person to despair.

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”

Aman let out an angry roar. His ax smashed down right after Long Chen was sent flying. But Ying Hou’s sword was as quick as lightning, quickly striking against Aman’s battle-ax.

Aman was sent flying back like a skipping stone, tumbling through the air several times before heavily landing on the ground.

But while Aman was sent back flying further than Long Chen, he didn’t spit out any blood. This truly surprised Ying Hou.

“Now you two should be convinced. In front of true strength, all your struggles are futile. Give up.” Ying Hou didn’t chase after them to attack. He stood in his original position like an emperor, coldly looking down on them.

Relying on the broadsword to struggle back up, Long Chen shook his head, blood staining his mouth. “Giving up midway isn’t my style. I still haven’t chopped off your head yet either.”

Ying Hou coldly looked back at Long Chen. His anger suddenly turned into laugher. “Haha, you truly are worthy of being Long Tianxiao’s son. You really are tough as bones. I hope once I crush every single bone in your body you can still stay as tough. Kid, go repent in the underworld.”

After speaking, his body suddenly moved. Long Chen was shocked to realize that he was looking at an afterimage. Ying Hou’s speed was inconceivable and he arrived in front of Long Chen in an instant, slas.h.i.+ng with his sword.

Seeing Ying Hou’s attack, Long Chen once again didn’t bother with defending, instead also sending a slash out at Ying Hou.

This method of giving up defense to take one’s enemy down as well wasn’t really a method. It was a technique that could only be used when all else was useless.

In terms of speed, Long Chen was unable to compare to Ying Hou. And in terms of power, he was also not his match.

All he could rely on was the length of his broadsword. He could only use his courage and boldness to fight against him. Although such a technique was extremely dangerous, it would at least allow him to delay for a bit.

As expected, Ying Hou was fundamentally incapable of accepting such an exchange where he would also be heavily injured. He recalled his sword to defend, looking for another opportunity to attack.

At this time, Aman also charged over, hacking down with his ax. It seemed that the previous blow hadn’t harmed him at all. His physical body truly was so formidable that it was frightening.

Long Chen was gratified to see that Aman seemed to suddenly become smart. He had learned from Long Chen to ignore Ying Hou’s sword and attack with his life on the line.

Consecutive blows echoed throughout the valley. The very land trembled with each exchange.

With Long Chen and Aman working together and gambling their lives, Ying Hou was actually unable to display his abilities and was forcibly blocked by the two of them.

In terms of both power and speed he had a definite superiority over them. But Long Chen and Aman’s attacks were absolutely insane. They didn’t care about any blows striking them, only using their bodies to receive his attacks. However, they risked their life to strike fatal blows on him.

Ying Hou’s face turned green from anger. There were several times when he felt an urge to continue his attack while disregarding their blows in order to kill them, but he still continued to patiently endure.

For one thing, Long Chen and Aman’s strength was too great. They definitely possessed a fatal danger to him if he were to take their attacks head-on. A slight miscalculation or accident and it wouldn’t be just exchanging blows, but exchanging lives.

And secondly, he possessed the absolute advantage. Handling Long Chen and Aman was just a matter of time. There was no need for him to take any reckless risks.

It was precisely because Long Chen had seen through Ying Hou’s thinking that he dared to do as he did. After all, this was an absolute last resort. Without risking his life, he would instead just die immediately.

Weapons clashed and flew. An hour pa.s.sed in just the blink of an eye. Long Chen was alarmed to realize that his physical strength was starting to fade. The broadsword in his hands began to feel heavier and heavier.

And as for Aman’s side, he wasn’t much better off. His ax was no longer as quick and violent as before. He had obviously also reached his limit.

Seeing a cold smile appear on Ying Hou’s face, Long Chen’s heart turned cold. Ying Hou was doing this to capture them alive. He would continue to completely exhaust them so that he could torture them as much as he liked after.

Long Chen narrowed his eyes. If you want my life, then we’ll have to see if you have the qualifications or not!

Ying Hou smiled inside when he saw that Long Chen and Aman’s power was weakening and their attacks were becoming slower.

Suddenly Long Chen swung his sword too hard. Due to a lack of energy, he stumbled forward a step along with the sword. That one step immediately revealed a huge opening.

Almost by reflex, Ying Hou didn’t even think. Dodging Aman’s ax, his sword directly slashed towards Long Chen’s waist. Obviously Long Chen’s guess was right; Ying Hou was planning on keeping them barely alive. Otherwise that sword would be going straight for his heart.

A cold glimmer s.h.i.+ned in Long Chen’s eyes. Suddenly his FengFu Star was activated to its full power. All his power flowed straight into his Dantian.

The twelve cyclones that were already three hundred meters wide immediately grew to ten times the size. They quickly revolved, and the spiritual qi within fifty kilometers was immediately sucked dry.

“Whether or not I can succeed, I have to try!”

Long Chen prayed inside. His twelve cyclones all revolved, causing all that spiritual qi to condense into a cord that flowed through the LiYao point, rushed into the HuiMing Point, and finally pa.s.sed through the QuChi point to enter the LaoGong point.

When his spiritual qi flowed into the first point, that acupuncture point seemed just like a flood gate that was forced open. After his spiritual qi went through that gate, it somehow began to flow faster, rus.h.i.+ng into the next point with an even greater force.

Once the spiritual qi had finished through all the layers of superposition and entered the final LaoGong point in his hand, Long Chen suddenly felt intense pain coming from his LaoGong point.

“c.r.a.p, my meridians can’t handle this.”
