Chapter 445: Not Enough Fighting

“Are you Yi Chen?”

Marquises Moses suppressed his overwhelming joy and, before Yi Chen could respond, couldn’t help but ask again.

“Yes, I am Yi Chen!”

Yi Chen smiled and nodded, straightforwardly admitting his identity.

“It’s really the strongest member of humanity!”

Marquises Moses felt as if he was dreaming.

It was like a legendary superstar suddenly appearing right in front of him.

Even though this strongest member of humanity didn’t have a strength realm as high as his, his fame surpassed that by leaps and bounds.

“What are you doing here?”

Marquises Moses asked cautiously.

“I want to capture a high-ranking leader of the Undying Race in the Celestial Spirit System to force them to be an insider. You seem like a good choice.”

Yi Chen spoke frankly.

“……”

Marquises Moses was left speechless.

He couldn’t understand where this strongest member of humanity got the confidence to speak so openly.

As soon as he guessed Yi Chen’s identity, he had thought about capturing him.

Then, he would abandon his status and position with Duke Farah and go to join either the Undying King or Duke Bolai.

No matter which one he chose, his strength might not make them overly joyful, but having the strongest member of humanity with him would definitely make them ecstatic.

Because both the Undying King and Duke Bolai could leverage this strongest member of humanity to negotiate cooperative agreements with other races or the human federation.

He could achieve an enormous merit.

In fact, it could be enough to change the entire situation and structure of the Undying Race.

As for Duke Farah, at that time, he could simply change his appearance and identity.

Even if he didn’t change his appearance, with the merit he established, Duke Farah wouldn’t have the courage to cause him any trouble.

Even in the face of such a great opportunity right in front of him, and knowing that he was a major realm above, Marquises Moses still didn’t dare to act directly; instead, he planned to test the waters first.

Unexpectedly, this strongest member of humanity clarified his intentions first.

“So, it’s either a painful surrender or a neat surrender?”

Yi Chen asked.

“Do you think with your strength realm, you could possibly deal with me?”

Marquises Moses was still probing.

But Yi Chen had already lost his patience, taking Marquises Moses’ silence as a chosen affirmation.

In his hand, the immortal sword appeared in an instant.

The next moment, he slashed towards Marquises Moses.

A wave of Sword Energy howled out, racing to strike Marquises Moses’s head.

Marquises Moses felt a shock in his heart.

This Sword Energy moved like lightning and was incredibly powerful; he could tell at a glance how great its might was.

It was far more powerful than he had anticipated from Yi Chen.

He didn’t dare to bear it head-on and saw he couldn’t evade; his right arm extended, and a black membrane appeared to block the Sword Energy.

Sizzle…

This black membrane looked soft, but its defense was extraordinarily strong.

The Sword Energy struck the membrane, leaving only a light wound.

Moreover, the wound healed back to normal in an instant.

“No wonder it’s the Undying Race; their self-healing ability is indeed extraordinary.”

Yi Chen clicked his tongue and opened his right hand.

The immortal sword shot towards Marquises Moses in an instant.

This time, Marquises Moses was prepared; he waved both arms.

The black membrane under his arms pulsated in a strange manner.

In that instant, his body retreated thousands of meters away.

However, the immortal sword, under Yi Chen’s control, pursued closely.

Its speed was not any slower than Marquises Moses.

“Damn it!”

Marquises Moses fumed with rage.

Being chased by an opponent who was one major realm lower was an experience he had never encountered before.

He roared.

Turning around, the membrane extended to his right fist, wrapping it completely.

Suddenly, he punched towards the sword tip.

Boom!

At the moment his right fist collided with the sword tip, a spray of blood flew out.

Terrifying energy burst forth from the center.

The immortal sword was sent flying over ten meters but quickly regained its trajectory, slashing toward Marquises Moses again.

Marquises Moses staggered back several dozen meters before stabilizing himself.

The black membrane wrapping his right fist had been pierced, leaving a small wound on his fist.

Blood flowed steadily from it.

However, the powerful self-healing ability allowed the wound to heal quickly.

“Do you really think you can defeat me?”

Marquises Moses roared in anger.

As the immortal sword slashed toward him again, his body suddenly transformed into a massive black membrane, enveloping Yi Chen.

This black membrane continuously expanded, resembling a giant piece of black cloth.

Clang!

When the immortal sword struck the black cloth, it emitted a collision sound like clashing weapons.

Clearly, with his entire body transformed into a black membrane, its defense strength was much greater than before.

“Even the immortal sword can’t cut through it!”

Yi Chen couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement.

According to the records, the strongest feature of the Undying Race is their self-healing ability, which is so strong that they can be reborn from a drop of blood.

Secondly, their speed is impressive.

However, their attack and defense are relatively weak compared to other races of the same major realm.

But this "weakness" is only in the context of the same realm.

In the case of being a full major realm higher, even Yi Chen’s Heaven-Slashing Technique could do nothing against him.

Of course, Yi Chen only used about fifty percent of the power of his Heaven-Slashing Technique.

“Give up!”

Marquises Moses’s roar came from within the massive black membrane.

It stretched for dozens of kilometers, like the night falling, wrapping around Yi Chen completely.

Yi Chen remained calm; he waved his hand.

A sea of fire, stretching for dozens of kilometers and more powerful than the black membrane, surged toward it in return.

Even in a vacuum, with no oxygen present, the sea of fire still carried a breath of suffocating heat.

Wherever it passed, even space began to warp.

Marquises Moses was shocked.

Without hesitation, the black membrane turned and fled, retreating quickly.

“…”

Yi Chen felt a bit speechless; he had only used about fifty percent of the power of his Method of All Laws.

Although it was a fire spell that countered the Undying Race, it was still just fifty percent power.

Why did he flee?

“Next time, if I encounter a stronger opponent, I’ll start with twenty percent power!”

A hint of disappointment appeared in Yi Chen’s eyes.

He hadn’t fought for several years.

He intended to test the characteristics of the Undying Race’s strength while also assessing how strong he had become.

Unfortunately, they didn’t give him the opportunity.

As a powerful human, if he could capture the opponent, even a direct trade with the human federation would yield whatever he desired.

With such enormous benefits at stake, and after only a few minutes of fighting, he just gave up and ran away because he was at a disadvantage.

He showed no courage or spirit at all.

It wasted his eagerness for an intense battle lasting eight hundred rounds.

Watching Marquises Moses escape farther away, already hundreds of kilometers distant in the blink of an eye, Yi Chen’s expression remained calm.

His heart was undisturbed.

In the sixth layer of Yuan Immortal, his divine consciousness could cover an astonishing range of six hundred thousand kilometers.

And with his Teleportation Technique, he could reach any location within that range in an instant.

Even with an energy shield in the way, he could pass through it.

Letting Marquises Moses escape for a few minutes was no problem; he could instantly catch up.

Yi Chen leisurely took out the Map of Mountains and Rivers and the Binding Immortal Rope, preparing to end the battle.
