Chapter 467: Nine-Winged Demonic Ape (2/2)
After Xie Ziwen spoke, he sent out a palm strike. A huge palm of flame pressed down towards Xiao Chen as it burned at a high temperature.
“Hu chi!”
Xiao Chen leaped up, and his saber flickered with purple electricity. He swung his saber upwards and instantly hacked the huge flame palm in half.
The flame palm scattered into the surroundings, turning into sparks and vanishing.
Xie Ziwen’s expression changed. He looked at the flickering light on the saber, and his pupils constricted.
This fellow’s cultivation is low, but his state of thunder is extraordinarily strong. It is about the equivalent of my Great Perfection state of fire. It looks like I have to use seventy percent of my strength to defeat him.
“Dance of a Thousand Flames!” Xie Ziwen shouted, and resplendent wisps of flames appeared above his fingertips. He quickly soared into the air.
After a moment, Xie Ziwen rose more than fifty meters. The ten finger-sized wisps of flame instantly grew six or seven hundred meters like a long strip of ribbon.
Xie Ziwen wiggled his ten fingers, and the flames danced like ribbons in the air. They looked extremely beautiful under the sunlight.
Xie Ziwen controlled the flame ribbons to quickly envelope Xiao Chen.
Flames should not look that captivating. When Xiao Chen felt their horrifying temperatures, he gave up on the notion of testing his physical body against them.
“Dang! Dang! Dang!”
Xiao Chen used his saber containing the state of thunder to hack at the flame ribbons. Unexpectedly, when his saber struck the flame ribbons, it was like striking an actual weapon. There were clanging sounds and countless sparks.
Xie Ziwen laughed maniacally, and he increased the speed of his fingers. He also moved quickly towards Xiao Chen, changing his position in the air continuously.
This cut off Xiao Chen’s escape despite his attempt. Each time, the flame ribbons flew over again and blocked his way.
“Chi!”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. His right hand, which held the saber, brushed against a flame ribbon and was immediately scorched. It was extremely painful, and he nearly dropped his saber.
“Hu chi!”
Xie Ziwen took advantage of this opportunity to spin his index finger for a round. The flame ribbon knotted itself and punched towards Xiao Chen’s face.
Not only did Xie Ziwen want to defeat Xiao Chen, but he also wanted to teach him an unforgettable lesson. He wanted Xiao Chen to know that he was not qualified to do certain things due to his status.
“Dang!”
Xiao Chen’s heart turned cold. This fellow was savage. He grasped his Lunar Shadow Saber and knocked away the flame ribbon flying at him.
Xiao Chen glanced at the burn on the back of his arm and fell deep into thought. It looks like this is not a helpless situation. I should keep observing.
Countless flame ribbons fluttered through the air. Xiao Chen danced with these ribbons, dodging them by twisting, somersaulting, or tilting his body.
月影刀时不时的挥舞，摊开一些，实在避不开的火焰带。Occasionally, Xiao Chen would brandish the Lunar Shadow Saber to push away the unavoidable ribbons.
Everyone in the crowd below had stood without realizing it. They were stunned when they saw the long flame ribbons gliding through the air.
“What Martial Technique is this? Why is it so strange? It had managed to completely envelop a person and contain them.”
“Given that Xie Ziwen can control his flames in such an exquisite manner, his state of fire has truly reached an incredulous level.”
“I wonder how Xiao Chen will deal with this? This move seems unfathomable. Unless one scatters this technique before its execution, I think a defeat is a guarantee after the ribbons envelope an opponent.”
“Perhaps this is an Ancient Era Martial Technique. Within all of the Tianwu Continent, only that place has complete inheritances from the Ancient Eras. Otherwise, it would not be so strange.”
Everyone discussed this odd technique; it had astonished them all.
Many of them there tried to imagine what they would do if they were Xiao Chen and whether they could do better than him.
However, their conclusion was a disappointment. Unless they broke the technique at the start or their Essence could overwhelm the other party and break the flame ribbons, defeat was just a matter of time.
“Let’s see how long you can last!”
Seeing that he had been unable to hurt Xiao Chen truly for a long time, Xie Ziwen started to grow frustrated. After all, in his opinion, his opponent barely qualified as a reason for him to make a move.
If Xie Ziwen could not settle this quickly, it would be embarrassing even if he won in the end.
Xie Ziwen started rhythmically moving his index finger. The outermost five flame ribbons suddenly formed a pillar which locked on Xiao Chen.
The inner five flame ribbons tangled together and flew at their target. Their speed was at least double of what it was previously. There was almost no time to dodge.
Xiao Chen remained calm. Instead, he rejoiced in his heart. The opportunity he had waited for had finally arrived. He used his right hand to return the Lunar Shadow Saber to its sheath quickly.
An azure energy rapidly poured into his palm. When the tangled flame ribbons drew near, Xiao Chen tilted his body and grabbed them with his right hand. Suddenly, an Azure Dragon claw appeared and grasped that pillar of flame ribbons.
“Pu chi! Pu chi!”
The dragon claw grasped the incredibly hot pillar, continuously giving off sizzling sounds. Sparks flew into the surroundings.
Xiao Chen had tested the temperature of the flames earlier. He knew that they were not as frightening as he had imagined. With the strength of his physical body and the full usage of his Vital Qi, he could capture the flame ribbon without injury if he could endure the heat.
Xiao Chen had waited for his opponent to compress his flames together for a long time.
“Blood Flame Shoes’ secret technique, activate! Xiao Chen shouted, and the patterns on his shoes instantly lit up. Xiao Chen’s speed reached Mach 4 in an instant.
Xiao Chen’s figure flashed towards the back. He held onto the five flame ribbons as he leaped out of the encirclement, immediately feeling relief.
