Chapter 323: Fight Off (2/2)
Seeing that the Corpse Man was about to strike with the Ghost Scream Art again, Ye Chen looked extra serious. He held his star scar sword with both of his hands while he put his mind into the sword. Combining with his eighty percent sword intent, he threw out an attack.
The sword Qi was like a column, fast like lightning.
Crack!
The Corpse Man was forced to exit his Ghost Scream Art mode, as his gold scull was placed in front of the incoming sword Qi.
Shoo!
Flames were shot out in a fan shape, but the Corpse Man was, after all, a step too slow. His gold scull had just touched the sword Qi but failed to hit it. The next second, a deep sword mark appeared on his shoulder. He had almost lot a great arm, which already put him at a significant disadvantage.
”How is this possible? Although my Ghost Scream Art is not perfect yet, even Late Astral Reaching Realm warriors would have lost control over their Qi and blood, and would not be able to attack immediately.” The Corpse Man knew that Ye Chen was wounded. However, the Ghost Scream Art was meant to weaken his opponent and help him get the upper hand.
Ye Chen was frowning a bit, the Corpse Man’s sound wave was indeed out of his expectations. However, he fortunately had trained the Green Lotus Sword Spell. Furthermore, it had already reached its thirteenth realm. Although his zhen yuan did not seem as powerful as the Corpse Man’s, its quality was indeed more powerful. Besides, the Corpse Man’s Ghost Scream Art was not flawless yet; it still contained a lot of flaws. Otherwise, it would not be a good situation for Ye Chen, since if the two were having a similar level of power, then a weakened condition would equal a definite disadvantage.
These two were still on the edge – no one wanted to throw out the first attack while the battle between the Xiao Heng couple and their opponents was still going on. Now that Pang Nie was not able to fight again, Xiao Heng couple and Lin Shuihan started to be in the disadvantaged position. They were continually beaten by two gold shell corpses and the man in a long robe.
”Yue’er, let’s work together!”
Xiao Heng nodded at Long Yun.
”Yeah!” Long Yue nodded, as water-element zhen yuan shot out of her body. It looked very heavy; a pinky-sized zhen yuan dropped on the group and left a tiny but deep hole, while it was still sizzling.
Then, that rank 8 zombie warrior Gold Shell Corpse took one step and shattered the ground below him, jumping towards the two.
”Huge Wave Dragon Break Art!”
Two loud yells were heard, as Xiao Heng and Long Yue combined their water-element zhen Qi together and released an extremely horrifying secret martial skill. Amongst the huge waves, a huge dragon made purely with water-element zhen yuan shot out from within. It waved his head and tail as the ancient aura spread out in the area.
”Not good! It is the secret skill from the Dragon God Palace!” The Lake Man’s expression suddenly changed.
Boooom!
The rank 8 zombie warrior was slightly more powerful than peak-level Mid Astral Reaching Realm warriors. However, the huge dragon made with water-element zhen yuan was way more powerful. It had instantly blown it away like a defenseless boy.
Awoooo!
The huge dragon roared as it jumped towards the Lake Man and the rest.
”Lake Art! Cloud Breaking Attack!”
The Lake Man drew a circle with his left hand and then put his right hand through. A huge new wave appeared, but what was different was that there was a long arrow also made with zhen yuan, shooting towards that huge dragon.
As the waves touched, the Lake Man had lost completely. The huge dragon clashed with that arrow, resulting in losing only its right claw while the long arrow had been completely shattered. The horrifying secret skill combined with both Xiao Heng and his wife’s power was something even the Ghost Man might not even be able to compete with, not to mention the Lake Man, who was only at Mid Astral Reaching Realm.
The huge dragon waved his tail, and the Lake Man was hit. His blood spilled everywhere since he was not able to block out the attack. On the other side, the other gold shell corpse had also been blown away. As for that man in the long robe, he had the foresight that he was not able to compete. So, instead of fighting against the huge dragon, he seized the opportunity while the Lake Man was fighting and flew to the right side, avoiding the blasting zone completely, which was extremely fast.
The couple knew this was the only chance they had, since it was very hard to release that secret art. Once their zhen yuan ran out, the huge dragon would disappear. Therefore, while they still had a lot of zhen yuan, they knew they should kill the Lake Man and the rest now, leaving them no chance to fight back.
”Corpse Drill!”
The Corpse Man caught up and threw out an attack with his left hand, as his right hand was holding the gold scull and attacking towards that huge dragon. He yelled, ”Back out!”
The huge dragon was shattered, and the Corpse Man backed out dozens of steps.
The Lake Man was pale and badly wounded. However, even in this condition, he still had the thought to check out Long Yue with his eyes full of evil thoughts. He then glanced at Ye Chen, who had a powerful aura surrounding him right now. Right then, their old plan had completely gone out of control. If the Corpse Man were not able to kill that brat, then his life would be on the line!
”Let’s go!”
The Lake Man and the man in the long robe escaped. As for those two gold shell corpses who were under the control of the Corpse Man, they would be the least of their worries.
”Ghost Smoke!”
Glancing at Ye Chen who had also caught up, the Corpse Man threw out three black balls. As they exploded, endless black smoke spread out around him.
”Leave something back before escaping!” The black smoke was not able to block out Ye Chen’s soul power. He scanned the area, as a fist-sized green lotus shot through the black mist from his Star Scar Sword and hit the Corpse Man on his left arm.
The whole left arm of his was torn down as he yelled, his evil voice dragging through the air, ”You brat, wait until I come back for you. It will be the day you die! At that time, no one would be able to save you!”
Ye Chen did not plan to chase after him. He had noticed that the wound of Corpse Man had already been healed. Right now, although he had lost one of his arms, both of them did not plan to fight until death right now. After all, neither one was sure if the other was still hiding some powerful attacks. Ye Chen sneered, ”If he does not decide to come back, then he still would have a chance to live. If he comes back, he would only die sooner.” Right now, he had only reached the Astral Reaching Realm, and he was still not quite familiar with it yet. Once his cultivation was stabilized and he had learned the Battle King’s sword intent, not to mention the Corpse Man, even Jin Huang would have to die.
