Chapter 592
by fanqienovelChapter 592: Breaking Through the Tower (End)
Five weapons, five choices.
Wang Chen instantly understood that he could choose one of these weapons and then engage in battle with his opponent.
Based on the principle of fairness.
At this moment, the force binding him had vanished.
Wang Chen paused briefly, then reached out to grasp the long staff among the five weapons.
He had once used the long staff extensively as his primary weapon, accumulating considerable experience with it, and since the long staff was one of the Buddha’s seven weapons, it resonated well with the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method.
The staff was a simple, ordinary stick, cool and smooth to the touch, heavy and substantial.
However, when Wang Chen tried to channel his magical energy into it, it felt like a muddy cow sinking into the sea, with no feedback whatsoever.
This indicated that it couldn’t be refined and would not unleash any special destructive power.
It was just a plain weapon!
With the staff in hand, Wang Chen’s expression became serious, and he seemed like a sword drawn from its sheath, emanating a sharp and fierce aura.
The burly cultivator sensed his battle intent and grinned, "Die!"
The word "die" sounded like spring thunder, instantly crossing dozens of steps and striking Wang Chen’s eardrums heavily.
In the next instant, the burly cultivator darted in front of Wang Chen, and the battle axe in his hand transformed into a streak of light, slashing down at his forehead like a lightning bolt.
This axe truly had the force of thunder, accompanied by the immense impact strength of the burly cultivator.
Even if Wang Chen were a mountain, he would be split in half!
However, when the battle axe came down, it only split a fleeting shadow.
At the critical moment, Wang Chen suddenly sprang back, narrowly avoiding the opponent’s surprise attack.
The timing and distance were perfect!
"Huh?"
The burly cultivator was taken aback, but he did not pause for a moment.
He raised his powerful arm, and the battle axe suddenly surged with countless axe shadows, overwhelmingly pursuing Wang Chen and sealing off all space around him.
Without a doubt, this cultivator had been an experienced and formidable battle cultivator in his past life, attacking with full force, launching wave after wave of assaults, giving Wang Chen no chance to catch his breath.
If it had been any other Purple Palace cultivator, they might have already been hit by his relentless killing strikes.
However, the long staff in Wang Chen’s hands was not just for show.
He keenly detected the true killing move from the opponent, identifying the essence of the Large Axe, and immediately swung the staff to block, executing a precise parry.
Clang!
The blade of the axe and the shaft of the staff clashed heavily, and due to the applied force being too great, the shaft bent slightly, sending sparks flying at the point of impact.
Yet, the long staff endured the test and was not severed by the axe.
Not only that, but Wang Chen, holding the long staff, stood firm like a mountain, his feet firmly embedded in the ground.
The seemingly decisive strike was blocked by Wang Chen, causing a flicker of emotion to appear in the burly cultivator’s previously cold and indifferent eyes.
He suddenly lifted his right leg and delivered a fierce kick toward Wang Chen’s lower abdomen!
Such a battle resembled a contest between ordinary martial artists, and the burly cultivator’s fighting moves had clearly reached the pinnacle of perfection, with every part of his body serving as a weapon to attack the enemy.
Bang!
The burly cultivator possessed formidable close combat abilities, but Wang Chen was equally unyielding. His right foot struck first, colliding directly with his opponent’s foot.
Heavenly Dragon’s strength erupted suddenly!
The burly cultivator instantly lost his balance and staggered backward, leaving deep footprints on the ground with each step.
In terms of physical strength, Wang Chen would not lose to any Purple Palace Level cultivator, even if the opponent had reached perfect mastery.
Let alone the burly cultivator was just a spirit of the tower; even at his peak, he could not rely solely on brute force to overwhelm Wang Chen, who had mastered the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method to the seventh level!
Gaining the upper hand, Wang Chen swept the long staff at the burly cultivator’s waist.
The burly cultivator reacted with lightning speed, and at the moment the staff approached, he gripped it tightly with his large left hand.
His fingers resembled iron pincers, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged due to the sudden surge of magical energy.
"Ha!"
The burly cultivator exhaled a thunderous sound, erupting before Wang Chen in a dazzling display of lightning!
This was one of his signature killing moves from his life before.
Once struck by this lightning, the opponent would at least be temporarily blinded for three breaths.
In the struggles between cultivators, often a single breath could determine life or death.
Let alone three breaths!
But Wang Chen remained undaunted, even choosing not to evade or block.
Suddenly, he released the long staff from his hands, dropped his right shoulder, and plunged forward into the burly cultivator’s embrace.
Iron Mountain Crash!
Boom!
The burly cultivator never expected Wang Chen to act so recklessly and directly shattered the lightning he unleashed, getting caught off guard and sent flying.
He almost dropped his Large Axe!
But this was just the beginning of his nightmare, for in the next instant, Wang Chen moved like a ghost, chasing after him and grasping for his weapon.
Then, he brought the staff down heavily on his opponent.
Bang!
The burly cultivator crashed to the ground, creating a large pit upon impact.
Whew!
Though dazed from the blow, the burly cultivator remained fierce, lying in the pit and desperately throwing his Large Axe at the approaching Wang Chen.
Wang Chen swept the axe aside as he landed on the ground.
He gripped the long staff tightly and lunged toward the burly cultivator in the pit with lightning speed.
Using the staff like a spear, even without a sharp spearhead, the impact was still devastating.
A weapon without a sharp point could still kill!
The burly cultivator was just attempting to leap up when the long staff punctured his chest. His chest glowed brilliantly as he forced himself to withstand Wang Chen’s strike.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning, as thick as a water bucket, suddenly fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the burly cultivator.
Wang Chen ruthlessly unleashed the Sky Thunder!
The magical shields the burly cultivator had just activated collapsed instantly, and he convulsed violently under the assault of the thunder, wisps of gray smoke escaping his body.
He fell back into the pit once more.
Wang Chen brought his index and middle fingers together, pointing like a sword at the opponent who had become a drowned dog.
A brilliant golden beam suddenly shot from his fingertips.
Metal Finger Technique!
The Metal Finger Technique was an advanced spell of the Metal Finger Technique, and although Wang Chen rarely used it in battle, he had already cultivated this Purple Palace spell to perfect mastery.
The burly cultivator at the bottom of the pit had no strength to evade and was instantly pierced through the head!
He trembled, his eyes revealing disbelief and a hint of relief.
With a resounding “bang,” the spirit guarding the sixth level of the Tower of Heaven exploded, turning to ash without leaving a trace!
“Challenge completed at the sixth level of the Tower of Heaven!”
