Chapter 765: The Storm Dragon’s Shadow

Just as the critical moment arrived, Xu Chen swiftly pivoted and planted his foot firmly on the ground. A swirling white aura coiled between his palms, manifesting as a solid handprint. A claw-shaped mark descended directly upon Su Yi’s shoulder, seeking to seize him in its grasp.

The claw mark possessed an extraordinary nature. Within the undulating white aura, it appeared as a hazy cloud of mist, as though born from the heavens themselves, evoking the sensation of a dragon’s claw. It emanated an overwhelming pressure, unlike anything ordinary, its aura sending inexplicable tremors through one’s soul.

As the claw mark reached out, Su Yi experienced a wave of astonishment. In that instant, he executed the Hundred Transformations Step with perfect precision, seizing the opportunity to step away from the dragon-like claw mark, thus slipping free from its grasp.

Though the claw mark never made contact with Su Yi’s shoulder due to his skillful evasion, a sharp gust of wind grazed his neck, leaving a prickling sensation on his skin. Several strands of his hair were severed cleanly, revealing faint traces of blood on his neck.

Upon witnessing Su Yi evade his attack, Xu Chen’s astonishment only grew.

“My Dragon Cloud Hand cannot be easily evaded!”

Xu Chen declared, his movements mysterious and unfathomable. His voice seemed to whisper in Su Yi’s ear as he closed in once more, his claw mark transforming. With a subtle flick of his wrist, the white mist trembled, resembling the writhing claws of a dragon as they reached directly for Su Yi’s throat.

“Is that so? Yet I have no intention of evading!”

Though amazed, Su Yi increasingly recognized the terrifying power of his opponent before him, even after just two exchanges. The true fighting spirit within his heart ignited. With a powerful swing of his arm, a fist wrapped in crimson vitality directly collided with the claw mark.

Their attacks met with a muffled impact. Instantly, a brilliant surge of vitality and undulating energy waves erupted. A tempestuous wind swept through like a raging storm, and both young figures retreated, separating after a single exchange.

They staggered back simultaneously, raising their eyes to meet each other’s gaze. Their locked stares revealed mutual astonishment in their expressions.

Su Yi couldn’t suppress his amazement. Xu Chen, whose handsome appearance could captivate even men, seemed delicate, yet his strength was unexpectedly devastating, almost otherworldly. It stunned Su Yi that he hadn’t gained any advantage in their exchange.

And compared to Su Yi’s surprise, the astonishment in Xu Chen’s heart far exceeded his opponent’s.

Their eyes met, and both fell silent.

In this moment, they both understood internally. Though they hadn’t underestimated each other initially, neither had truly regarded their opponent with proper gravity.

Now, both recognized deep within that they faced a genuine, formidable rival!

The two figures stood opposing each other from a distance. The atmosphere around them fluctuated, sending tremors in all directions, creating a palpable tension.

“Come forth!”

In that instant, they seemed to share an unspoken understanding. They darted forward in perfect unison, their silhouettes leaving trails of afterimages. They transformed into streaks of light, colliding with extraordinary force.

Their figures intertwined, the sound of breaking wind reverberating, carrying powerful gusts and unleashing bursts of elemental energy. A muffled explosion erupted amid the collision of elemental forces.

They continued to clash, their movements constantly shifting and unpredictable. They moved with such incredible speed that their peers could only glimpse blurred shadows.

All around them, sand and stones took flight, shattering as they exploded. Fierce winds whipped up clouds of dust, and continuous rumbling echoed through the air.

The two young warriors were enveloped in radiant energy, surrounded by ethereal auras. Energy surged from their hands as they darted and clashed repeatedly.

With a deafening collision, energy surged as both figures were forcefully pushed back in opposite directions.

Su Yi’s feet skimmed the ground as he took several steps to steady himself, finally halting. His disheveled hair enhanced his determined appearance, and his gaze intensified, brimming with fighting spirit.

Throughout the confrontation, Su Yi had refrained from employing his full power. He hadn’t even utilized the techniques of the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique. However, he had exerted nearly all his inherent strength, yet remarkably, gained no advantage. Su Yi couldn’t help but feel shocked. The young man before him appeared only a few years his junior, yet still surpassed Ouyang Jinwei, even on the Sacred Mountain.

Even Su Yi could sense that, until this point, Xu Chen, like himself, likely hadn’t revealed his full capabilities.

“I never anticipated you would exceed my expectations so thoroughly. You truly astonish me! The Central Region indeed harbors exceptional talents!”

Xu Chen stabilized himself, unable to gain any advantage. He fixed his gaze on Su Yi, completely moved by his opponent’s prowess. The sight of Yi Su from the Overlord Sect proved even more formidable than anticipated.

“Boom!”

As the words faded, Xu Chen’s handsome features tightened noticeably. Energy surged within him as his palm formed intricate seals. A tempest of white energy erupted, causing fierce winds to howl and powerful energy to swirl around them.

The scene proved truly magnificent. A terrifying storm swept across the land, and Xu Chen’s figure seemed to defy gravity as he rose into the air, appearing at the tempest’s heart.

“Exercise caution, for I shall no longer restrain myself!”

Xu Chen gazed down at Su Yi from his elevated position. The surrounding storm intensified, causing the air to emit repeated whistling sounds.

“The Dragon of the Storm!”

Xu Chen struck again. The terrifying tempest swept forward, transforming into a faintly visible phantom of a serpentine dragon within the turbulence. Distant echoes of dragon roars filled the air, carrying intense pressure that caused the atmosphere to tremble violently. It charged directly toward Su Yi with tremendous force.

“Ha ha ha…”

With such power, the earth cracked along its path, triggering earthquakes and tremendous shockwaves that shook everything nearby.

In that crucial moment, Su Yi’s eyes quietly shimmered with swirling light, gleaming with intensity. An ancient, dreadful aura filled the atmosphere, as if possessing the power to suppress all directions.

“Scarlet Ancient Seal!”

A low growl escaped from Su Yi’s heart as a fierce surge of elemental energy erupted. A blazing aura began to whirl above his palm, accompanied by sounds like crashing waves. It swiftly converged, gathering like countless flames into a concentrated sea of fire.

The handprint’s aura burned with terrifying heat, incinerating the air and carrying an ancient pressure that swept outward.

In an instant, the two forces collided, meeting with devastating impact.

“Splash…”

Brilliant bursts of energy erupted in all directions, enveloping everything. An ominous aura swept outward as the ground continuously trembled and fractured from the powerful impact.

“Crack crack…”

Fissures spread across the ground like a spider’s web, extending from the impact point. Continuous booming echoed as the collisions persisted.

“Roar…”

A dragon’s cry shook the vast expanse, causing chaos to reign.

The astonishing commotion lasted for several breaths before finally subsiding.

“Stomp, stomp!”

As the dust settled, both figures stumbled backward hurriedly, retreating several paces. With each step, the ground crumbled and sank, pulverizing scattered rocks.

Xu Chen and Su Yi’s faces had paled, their eyes fixed on each other, silently pulsating.

The surroundings gradually grew still, while the aura around them continued to surge. Unknown to them, the atmosphere had grown tense, reaching a critical point.

“I underestimated your abilities. It seems this isn’t the moment to determine a victor. I sense that defeating you would require a considerable price. Let us postpone this battle until tomorrow!”

After a moment of silence, Xu Chen suddenly glanced toward a distant point, then addressed Su Yi. As soon as the words left his lips, he departed in his white attire, leaving directly.

Watching Xu Chen’s retreating figure, Su Yi’s eyes flickered, and he too turned to look in the same direction. Shortly after, his figure swiftly vanished.

As Su Yi and Xu Chen disappeared, several figures emerged from the distance. They were observers who had been drawn by the tremendous commotion.

“Powerful warriors have clashed here, displaying extraordinary might. They must rank among the most elite.”

Someone surveyed the devastation, sensing the lingering aura with awe. They recognized that their own power could never have caused such destruction.
