Chapter 195 - Advance to Mid-Earthly Venerable Rank! (1/2)

“What’s happening? It has suddenly become so much stronger!” Dongmen Yinyang threw out a punch and dodged the gold-armored soldier’s sword. He leaped to the side and kicked, sending Pure Yang Chi Construct scattering in all directions.

Boom!

The gold-armored soldier took the attack head-on and was forced a few steps back, but he swung his sword again.

Dongmen Yingyang always had some doubts regarding this gold-armored soldier. Just what the hell was it? It seemed similar to a ghost but it was corporeal when it attacked, not like a ghost at all.

If it was a ghost, it would swiftly avoid encountering combatants with powerful Yang energy or being hit with sunlight. They would not act so ferociously like the gold-armored soldier!

Dongmen Yingyang looked toward Ye Chen and saw that there was purple smoke rising from his body like a burning flame. On his shoulder, Little Tanuki was emitting white smoke slightly weaker than Ye Chen’s purple smoke.

The white flame lingering on the gold-armored soldier should be released by Little Tanuki. It was not surprising that he could feel that the gold-armor soldier’s strength had increased!

This thing could even merge!

Dongmen Yingyang tried to break away from the gold-armored soldier several times to attack Ye Chen and Little Tanuki, but the gold-armor soldier was like a maggot attached to bones. He could not approach Ye Chen or Little Tanuki at all.

If the gold-armored soldier was just a mid-Heavenly Venerable One, it would not be able to stop Dongmen Yingyang at all. What frightened Dongmen Yingyang was that the gold-armored soldier’s sword would sometimes burst into purple flames. This purple fire was extremely strong and even if only a little spark sputtered out, it could instantly melt off a part of his Pure Yang Chi Construct. It was truly tyrannical.

Boom boom boom!

Rumble!

The gold-armored soldier and Dongmen Yingyang fought hand-to-hand in the air, their blows colliding like muffled thunder. All the nearby trees shook. If they were hit with just a fraction of the blows, even thick trees would be blown to dust. The ground was full of large pits. Rock flew and the earth cracked.

Even when Ye Chen and Little Tanuki’s Astral Body merged and the gold-armored soldier had reached peak Heavenly Venerable Rank, it was still not enough. Dongmen Yingyang’s fists rained on the gold-armored soldier’s body. If not for the Astral Body battle-tempered with the Purple-fire Astra Lion in the Heavenly Astra Seal, Ye Chen would not have been able to withstand such violent attacks.

It was a shame that Little Tanuki’s Astral Body could not completely merge with Ye Chen’s Astral Body yet!

Ye Chen’s face was as pale as a sheet. The Nine Astra in his dantian ran at breakneck speed and the Celestial Chi in his Astral Body continuously rose to the air, fusing into the body of the gold-armored soldier, but still could not stop the consumption used in battle. The gold-armored soldier became slightly thinner under Dongmen Yingyang’s fierce attacks.

A peak Heavenly Venerable One was still too strong.

“Oh no, I can’t hold on for much longer!” Ye Chen gritted his teeth as his consciousness grew hazy. He urged the gold-armored soldier in battle with Dongmen Yingyang while plotting on how to get away.

Dongmen Yingyang was like a wild beast. The clothes on his upper body were completely ripped, revealing thick, ferocious muscles and gray-black skin that gave off a faint luster like metal under the sunlight. Every punch and every kick contained explosive power that would cause astonishing trembles.

“You cursed thing, die!” Dongmen Yingyang suddenly leaped into the air with a roar, his right leg raised high. Metal-type Celestial Chi quickly condensed into his right leg and he swung it down like a huge executioner’s sword.

Overlord’s Heel of Ruin!

Dongmen Yingyang’s killing blow was a Tier Six martial arts technique. Metal-type attacks had always been famous for its strong and unparalleled offensive power. Overlord Splits the Mountains was a Tier Six martial arts technique. It contained boundless strength which could break a mountain into two with one foot.

The gold-armored soldier immediately felt a powerful force descending upon him but it was too late to avoid it. He instantly raised his longsword to block it.

With a “bang”, the hilt of the longsword broke into two pieces.

Dongmen Yingyang’s Overlord Splits the Mountains was too powerful. He watched as his foot fell onto the gold-armored soldier’s chest. This blow would kill the gold-armored soldier.

Dongmen Yingyang suddenly felt air below his foot. His leg whistled down and collided with the ground, and a loud rumble instantly rang out.

What happened? How did he miss it?

Dongmen Yingyang looked at the gold-armored soldier still floating in the air. Its figure gradually faded away and turned wavy before dissipating into the air.

Right before Dongmen Yingyang was about to hit the gold-armored soldier, Ye Chen suddenly recalled the gold-armored soldier and avoided Dongmen Yingyang’s attack.

“Little Tanuki, let’s go!” Ye Chen said lowly. He swallowed a Soul-consolidating Pill he took from his Heaven-Earth Pouch and leaped toward the depths of the jungle, running away. So far, his Astral Body had not suffered any serious damage but after the fierce battle with the Nine Astra in his dantian working at full throttle, he faintly felt that his Celestial Chi had already reached a critical point. Could it be that his Celestial Chi cultivation was about to enter mid-Earthly Venerable Rank?

Ye Chen was still injured and could not go up against Dongmen Yingyang, so he had to run first! He arched his body and ran through the jungle like a cheetah.

“As if I’ll let you escape.” Dongmen Yingyang snorted furiously and flew in the air. He chased after Ye Chen closely, like an eagle tracking its prey from the skies.

Dongmen Yingyang’s speed was much faster than Ye Chen, and soon, caught up with Ye Chen. He suddenly swooped down, hands shaped like claws, and grabbed.
