720 The Immortal (1/2)
”Brother Ye, do not underestimate him. Just do the best you can.” Yan Fengfeng was worried that Ye Chen would be wounded, so she reminded him.
That sword wings opened slightly on his back slightly as he said, ”If I cannot hold on, I will call you. Right now, let me test his limits.”
Ye Chen did not plan to beat the Ghost Wood King. He just wanted to test exactly how powerful this half step beast king was, so that he could have a benchmark to compare with in the future when he ran into another one. Secondly, he also wanted to let Murong and Yan Fengfeng know his tricks, so that when he ran out of energy, the four of them could link up together and enhance their general battling power. He was confident that even if he could not take down the Ghost Wood King, he would be able to leave without a scratch.
”Do not bother to try. You will die in my hands for sure.” The Ghost Wood King, of course, knew what Ye Chen was thinking, but he did not care for it at all, since there would not be anything more hilarious than an ant saying that it wanted to test the elephant's power.
”I doubt it though.”
Ye Chen slowly took out his Thunder Disaster sword as the sword light continued to flash.
”Wait until you die, then you will know that I am always telling the truth. The first attack!” The beast king did not have the patience to chat with Ye Chen as that black qi around his body expanded suddenly.
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! An air slicing sound was heard as countless black veins appeared amongst the black qi out of nowhere, attacking toward Ye Chen.
”Thunder Devour!”
He stepped in midair while using the power to back out. Meanwhile, he held his sword with both of his hands and threw out an attack. Next, that black thunder ball attacked toward the middle of the veins.
Boom!
The sky was filled with tempestuous thunder and lightning. After the thunder ball exploded, the shockwave spread out and shattered the veins. Meanwhile, that aggressive thunder power followed the veins and attacked toward the real body of the beast king.
The latter looked exactly the same, as he did nothing except watch the power approach him. However, something strange happened. That aggressive thunder power suddenly became slower the closer it got to the body of the beast king, seeming to have lost all of its power.
”The vitality has been sucked out?”
Ye Chen was surprised. Although thunder power was only one of the elemental powers, it still had its own vitality, which was slightly different from the normal one. For example, a dried out massive tree would not have new leaves coming out for years, as there would be no vitality at all. But one day, a thunder would fall down and the dried out tree would suddenly be infused with new power, causing new leaves to grow out. It meant that the thunder and lightning could not only reactivate the vitality of the dried out tree, it also brought nourishment for the tree as well.
The ghost wood king had abstracted the vitality of the thunder power, so the power lost its core itself, and could not have as much destructive ability anymore.
'Huh!'
Ye Chen was surprised, but the Ghost Wood King was even more surprised. He had abstracted the vitality of the thunder attack for sure, but there was even a hint of destruction element power which could destroy anything in this world. No matter it was vitality or deadliness, it could all be destroyed by it. As he had absorbed the vitality of the thunder power, it made him a target of that destruction power, so a hint of his core was surprisingly wounded for the first time.
The cold yellow-green pupils started to shine with an evil light again. The ghost wood king shook his body and more black veins appeared out of nowhere. They did not try to attack Ye Chen; instead, they blocked out the space around them, creating a massive net and leaving Ye Chen nowhere to hide.
”Gold Pattern!”
Seeing this, Ye Chen did not dare to be careless. He threw out one sword attack which released a dark gold pattern, destroying the veins around.
Crack! Crack!
Chin! Chin! Chin! Chin! Chin!
However, the toughness of the veins was out of Ye Chen's expectations, as he only managed to destroy dozens of the veins. The sword qi accumulated densely before forming into a gold pattern. But, its power ran out after hitting the target as well.
”Break!”
After that attack failed, Ye Chen changed his sword waving style and performed more dark gold patterns, turning hundreds of meters around him into a dark gold realm. The veins with beast power started to shatter after being attacked wave after wave.
'So many attacks in a row?' The Ghost Wood King's expression changed slightly.
”Expanded Ghost Punch!”
The massive fists of his tightened as he threw out another punch toward Ye Chen. Once this punch was thrown out, a sharp wind blowing sound would be heard, causing negative feelings to be generated in his opponent's head. People with weaker minds would lose it by now already.
”Gold Fury!”
After accumulating the Zhen yuan to an extreme, Ye Chen waved his sword, performing his most powerful sword attack. Ghost Wood King was not Liu Wujian, so even the normal killing attacks had to be thrown out with the greatest effort.
Boom!
A huge amount of qi power exploded, locking down all of the veins around. Even the forest outside the vein blockade was damaged drastically; all of the trees had been pulled out as whole.
However, this was the forbidden place, so the space was very stable. The energy here was drastically influenced, and all of the trees here were not normal ones either. Therefore, the damage did not spread out too far, covering only one to two miles.
”Huh?”
Ye Chen made a low noise. It turned out that Ghost Wood King's punch contained a hint of vitality eliminating power, which was not stoppable by Zhen yuan. He was only able to block out a tiny bit while the rest landed on his real body.
”Destroy!”
