Chapter 821: Saint King Protective Body Qi!
This strike was immensely powerful, just like the previous one, completely crippling Lin Fan and leaving him unable to fight back.
“It seems to be the claw of a snake dragon, but I seem to be better at it than you. Let’s settle this with one move!”
Xu Chen spoke, his clear eyes suddenly flashing with lightning. His body surged with powerful blood qi, and electric arcs crackled around him. Dark clouds silently gathered in the sky, swallowing the surrounding light, accompanied by flashes of lightning and rolling thunder. His hair danced wildly, making him look like a fierce and resurgent deity.
“Swoosh…”
Xu Chen condensed his palm and made a move. The void churned as dark clouds rolled, lightning flickered, and thunder roared. His fingers curled slightly, leaving behind a claw imprint.
Before the claw imprint, the void trembled violently, radiating an intense glow. Lightning ravaged the space, causing it to explode, while the energy of thunder surged like a monstrous wave, creating a breathtaking scene!
Then, the claw imprint expanded into a massive claw and directly collided with the void.
At this moment, Xu Chen radiated an extremely fierce aura.
The claw swung open and shut, shaking the entire golden boulder and causing even the empty space to ripple.
Under countless gazes, the two claw marks clashed head-on.
“Boom! Boom!”
The impact was so powerful that it made the nearby spectators’ ears ring and buzz.
The golden boulder was completely enveloped in lightning, with terrifying energy surging like a thunderstorm, causing great alarm.
This duel left even the most powerful figures in attendance astonished and amazed.
Everything happened in an instant and ended just as quickly, with lightning scattering and energy dissipating. As the dust settled, two figures—one large and one small—reappeared on the golden boulder.
The two stood less than a few feet apart, yet the battle had already come to a halt.
“Thump! Thump!”
Suddenly, Xu Chen staggered a few steps backward, his face visibly paler.
It was clear that he had expended a great deal of energy. His right hand trembled slightly, appearing somewhat swollen.
“Puff!”
At the same time, Flame Scale’s large body returned to normal. Blood spurted from his mouth, and a faint red liquid seeped from his hand as he took several unsteady steps back.
“I lost. I knew I couldn’t beat you.”
Flame Scale wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and unhesitatingly swallowed the medicine Xu Chen had given him. Then, he grinned foolishly and looked at Xu Chen.
“Go on, I’ll be waiting for you down there.”
With that, Flame Scale leaped off the golden boulder.
Even after giving it his all, he had already realized he couldn’t win. Reaching this round alone was already an achievement that made him happy.
Xu Chen smiled faintly, clasping his tingling right hand. He secretly sighed, knowing that perhaps only he truly understood how strong Flame Scale really was.
“Almost finished!”
A cold voice echoed.
Nanan Ruyu spoke as his entire body radiated a divine glow. Suspended in midair, he emanated a sacred aura, his wings shining brilliantly.
Meanwhile, Han Liuyun’s eyes narrowed. He was surrounded by the fierce shadows of wild beasts, exuding an overwhelming presence. In his hand, a white whip quietly materialized.
The whip was covered in a dense white mist, shimmering like lightning and moving with the agility of a snake dragon. It emanated a terrifying aura, its pressure making the very souls of those watching tremble.
The moment the white whip appeared, coiling like a serpent in the air, it immediately stirred the wind and clouds.
Suddenly, a powerful voice from the Five Sects and Three Schools exclaimed:
“Jade Dragon Soul Whip!”
“It’s actually the Jade Dragon Soul Whip!”
Many powerful cultivators trembled at the sight of the legendary weapon. This was no ordinary object—it was said to have been crafted by a powerful blacksmith from Yutian Palace. Its core material was an ancient dragon bone, nearly reaching the level of a legendary artifact. When it was forged, it almost triggered a supernatural phenomenon, naturally suppressing the soul.
“Han Liuyun’s position in Yutian Palace must be high if he possesses the Jade Dragon Soul Whip!”
Someone spoke, acknowledging that the palace’s decision to entrust the whip to Han Liuyun was proof of his status.
Yet, given Han Liuyun’s talent and formidable strength, no one found this surprising.
“Ahh!”
The long whip, like a dragon, roared as it surged forward, tearing through the wind and clouds. It carried the power of heaven and earth, a force so tremendous that it seemed capable of moving mountains and overturning seas.
In an instant, it reached Nanan Ruyu.
However, just as the terrifying attack neared—only ten feet away from him—it suddenly dissolved into empty ripples.
A dazzling aura enveloped Nanan Ruyu, radiating sacred energy from his very being.
The long whip, infused with terrifying energy meant to strike at his soul, was blocked by an unseen force—it could not move forward.
This scene left countless onlookers in utter disbelief!
Han Liuyun’s expression changed as his hand seals solidified. The power in the whip intensified, and it truly transformed into the shadow of a snake dragon. The beastly form, composed of remnants of a soul, roared and burst forth.
“Boom!”
The frightening power seemed capable of destroying everything in its path. Yet, it was all halted by the holy light surrounding Nanan Ruyu. The aura trembled slightly, but it remained unbroken.
“He actually condensed Saint King Protective Body Qi!”
Among the Five Sects and Three Schools, even the strongest figures were visibly shaken.
Even the powerful cultivators from Yutian Palace displayed drastic changes in their expressions.
“Such a formidable Saint King Protective Body Qi, capable of withstanding Han Liuyun’s attack!”
Some elder experts in the crowd took note and were astonished by Nanan Ruyu’s strength.
Han Liuyun was unleashing his full power, an attack strong enough to defeat a typical Yuan True Realm fourth-level cultivator. And yet, he couldn’t even break through Nanan Ruyu’s defenses.
Han Liuyun was undoubtedly terrifying among his peers, but it was now clear—Nanan Ruyu was even more fearsome!
“I’m giving it my all—this should be over now!”
Nanan Ruyu’s gaze turned icy. Wrapped in the divine glow of his Saint King Protective Body Qi, he shone like a miniature sun. With his wings flapping behind him, he swiftly formed hand seals.
Two hand imprints appeared in front of him, and with a sudden strike, they surged forward.
“Boom!”
The empty space rumbled as divine energy erupted. Terrifying hand imprints materialized from the void, crackling with immense energy.
One hand crushed the long whip.
The other shattered the giant beast phantom.
The collision unleashed a deafening explosion.
“Oh my goodness!”
Many in the audience gasped in shock, their hearts pounding. The sheer power on display was overwhelming—even visible to the naked eye. Han Liuyun’s attack had been completely shattered.
“Break!”
The Saint King’s protective energy enveloped Nanan Ruyu, making him appear even more divine—like a god descending to dominate everything.
Han Liuyun’s face changed dramatically. His attack had been completely nullified, and he could still feel an immense, overwhelming pressure.
“Puff!”
Finally, Han Liuyun coughed up blood as he was sent flying, crashing heavily against a golden boulder. The Jade Dragon Soul Whip in his hand dimmed significantly.
