Chapter 352: Chen Luo’s True Strength
Chen Luo silently recited the incantation, pushing both hands forward, immediately forming a protective energy shield in front of him.
Fang Yu struck the shield with a punch.
“Bang!”
The shield shattered with a loud crash! Yet Fang Yu’s punch did not lose any of its power!
Chen Luo’s eyes glimmered with a strange light, and he moved his feet.
“Whoosh!”
A sound of breaking air echoed as Chen Luo vanished from his original spot before Fang Yu’s fist could make contact.
In the next second, Chen Luo appeared in mid-air, bringing his hands together.
“Break Thunder!”
A bolt of lightning surged from Chen Luo’s hands, crashing toward Fang Yu.
A blue light streaked through the air.
“Boom!”
The spot where Fang Yu stood was instantly blown apart!
……
“You, who are you?” Guo Cuiyun asked the masked figure in front of her, her face pale.
The masked figure did not respond to Guo Cuiyun.
His emotionless gray-white eyes fixed directly on Ling’er, who was hiding behind Guo Cuiyun.
Under such a strange gaze, Ling’er trembled all over, her big eyes filled only with fear.
The masked figure stepped forward, reaching out toward Ling’er.
Guo Cuiyun’s expression changed, pulling Ling’er back a large step, panic evident in her voice, “What do you want!?”
She could clearly sense the powerful aura emanating from the masked figure.
If a fight broke out, even in her peak physical condition, she would not be a match for the masked figure.
Moreover, she was currently exhausted from climbing the volcano.
Jiang Ruolan, standing behind the masked figure, also sensed the danger and shouted, “There are people from the Martial Arts Association behind us! If you make a move, we…”
The masked figure completely ignored Jiang Ruolan, continuing to reach for Ling’er.
Guo Cuiyun gritted her teeth and stepped forward, blocking Ling’er.
The masked figure frowned slightly, his outstretched finger moving slightly.
“Poof!”
Guo Cuiyun felt as if a mountain had crashed onto her, spitting out a mouthful of blood and flying backward.
“Master!”
Seeing this scene, both Ling’er and Jiang Ruolan screamed.
Especially Ling’er, whose eyes immediately turned red.
Tears sparkled in Ling’er’s eyes.
“You’re daring to hurt my master…”
Anger overcame the fear in Ling’er’s heart.
A pure aura of a master radiated from Ling’er.
“A mere child, yet possessing the cultivation of a master… This is the All-Spirit Body.” The masked figure’s mouth twisted beneath the black cloth.
If anyone could see his smile now, they would be terrified.
Ling’er’s small face tightened as she gathered all her true energy into her right palm and struck toward the masked figure.
Ling’er’s strength had already surpassed that of Guo Cuiyun, who was also a master.
Her full-powered strike was much stronger than that of most masters.
“Boom!”
Since the masked figure was standing very close, he had no space to dodge and was hit directly by Ling’er’s palm.
The volcanic rocks on the ground were sent flying, but the masked figure remained as steady as a mountain, firmly standing in place.
He maintained the same posture.
Ling’er’s strike seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever.
“Great! Truly great! I never expected that coming out here would lead me to the best material for refining a human avatar!” The masked figure laughed loudly, his voice sharp and eerie.
His right hand reached directly toward Ling’er.
Ling’er’s face changed dramatically; she wanted to move but found she couldn’t muster any strength.
An invisible force completely suppressed her.
The masked figure’s hand pressed directly onto Ling’er’s head.
“Ling’er!”
Seeing this scene, Jiang Ruolan turned pale and screamed.
But her cultivation was even weaker, only half a step into the master realm, and she had no chance to move!
The masked figure’s right hand, as dry as a skeleton, glowed with a strange light.
Then, Ling’er, standing still, suddenly lost the spark in her big eyes, becoming hollow.
“Now we can begin the refining, first eliminating the original soul within her…”
The masked figure’s gray-white eyes sparkled with light as he silently recited the incantation.
“Boom!”
At that moment, a loud noise came from the top of the volcano, causing a tremor.
The masked figure paused his actions and looked up at the mountain peak.
“Someone has reached the summit, and there must be more than one group; they are engaging in battle…”
The masked figure had originally come to the Flame Mountain Range to obtain a legacy. Discovering Ling’er, the All-Spirit Body, was merely an unexpected gain.
Now that both sides at the summit were fighting, if the masked figure reached the top, he could seize the opportunity!
The All-Spirit Body had already been captured; refining could be done later.
Thinking this, the masked figure turned to the hollow-eyed Ling’er and waved his right hand forward.
“Whoosh!”
A flash of white light appeared, and Ling’er’s figure vanished from the spot.
“Ling’er!”
Jiang Ruolan cried out in tears.
At that moment, the masked figure had already turned and continued climbing toward the summit.
With the pressure gone, Jiang Ruolan’s body went limp, collapsing to the ground.
She looked at Guo Cuiyun, who lay bleeding in the distance, her expression changing as she hurried over.
At this moment, Guo Cuiyun was spitting blood but had not fainted.
“Ling’er…” Guo Cuiyun gasped, struggling to speak.
“Master, Ling’er… she was taken by that person…” Jiang Ruolan cried.
Guo Cuiyun’s face showed despair.
……
At the summit, Fang Yu and Chen Luo were still engaged in battle.
During the fight, Fang Yu had basically figured out Chen Luo’s strength.
In terms of the Martial Venerable realm, Chen Luo was the strongest he had ever encountered.
Chen Luo’s strength was already close to that of Zheng Yan in the Martial Saint realm.
For the current martial arts world, such a person could be considered a prodigy.
During the battle with Fang Yu, Chen Luo clearly still had some strength in reserve.
However, at this level, it was not enough to make Fang Yu take him seriously.
“Enough wasting time.”
Fang Yu dodged Chen Luo’s strike, his figure flashing as he appeared at Chen Luo’s side, kicking toward him.
Chen Luo’s expression changed slightly, and he immediately activated his movement technique, retreating to create distance between himself and Fang Yu.
Chen Luo had gradually adapted to the rhythm of the battle, but Fang Yu suddenly accelerated, catching him off guard and shaking his heart!
He had thought that Fang Yu had reached his limit in their previous exchanges.
But unexpectedly, Fang Yu could still speed up!
This indicated that Fang Yu had not been using his full strength before!
Of course, Chen Luo himself had only used about seventy percent of his strength.
In Chen Luo’s eyes, having lived two lives, he had no opponents.
The Martial Venerables and even Martial Saints, who were highly respected in the martial arts world, seemed as weak as ants to him.
Just a mere Core Formation or Nascent Soul stage.
In his previous life, at the peak of the God Transformation stage, he could crush dozens of such characters with a single slap.
But now, facing Fang Yu, Chen Luo actually felt a hint of pressure.
This person seemed different from other martial artists!
He was far stronger than Chen Luo had imagined!
“Alright, then let me show you my true strength!”
Chen Luo’s eyes turned cold, and his aura erupted once more.
At the same time, a massive shadow appeared behind him, revealing a distorted ghostly face!
An extremely cold and deathly aura radiated from Chen Luo.
Necromantic power!
Fang Yu frowned slightly as he landed on the ground.
Chen Luo’s trump card turned out to be necromantic power.
This kind of power came from beneath the earth, the coldest and most yin energy in the world.
Generally, only evil cultivators would practice necromantic power.
The ghostly visage behind Chen Luo was quite terrifying.
“Dao Tian, are you ready to go to hell?”
Chen Luo smiled coldly, pushing both hands forward.
Black mist immediately rose from the ground around Fang Yu, chilling to the bone!
These black mists transformed in the air into one twisted ghostly face after another, each mouth wide open, emitting eerie howls toward Fang Yu.
The wails of ten thousand ghosts!
These ghostly faces multiplied and then lunged at Fang Yu!
Fang Yu stood still, suddenly unleashing a burst of power.
“Ah…”
The ghostly faces let out a wail, completely shattered by the shockwave!
Chen Luo squinted, twisting his hands.
The shattered ghostly faces reformed in the air into a larger mass of gas, then transformed into a massive ghostly head with dark eye sockets and a mouth.
This enormous ghost head exuded waves of deathly aura like a demon!
Anyone who saw this scene would be terrified to the point of collapsing to the ground!
Then, the ghost head opened its mouth and let out a roar at Fang Yu!
“Buzz…”
The void trembled, and the demonic sound invaded his body!
