Chapter 605 - Bitter Battle Against Martial Emperor

The Typhoon Style was stronger than the Whirlwind Style.

The innumerable kicks from before were like a whirlwind, but now they were like a typhoon.

Long Chen couldn’t see Yang Ningfeng after the latter’s speed exploded. He was the fastest person Long Chen had ever encountered. Both Yang Ningfeng’s speed and attacks were the strongest he had ever faced.

Typhoon ..

.

Long Chen’s heart was ready for battle. No matter how strong the attack was, he did not fear it, so he chose to fight head-on rather than avoiding it.

His sharp claws were like knives as the blood-red flames enveloped them. Several small dragon illusions swam inside the flames.

“Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw, Five Piercing Dragons!”

The five dragons roared and launched themselves toward Yang Ningfeng.

Yang Ningfeng’s Typhoon Style crashed into the technique.

The two powerful techniques exploded on impact. The ground trembled as both Long Chen and Yang Ningfeng controlled their essence to a frightening degree. They created numerous explosions as they attacked each other.

Long Chen’s claws and the Golden Crow Flames attacked Yang Ningfeng’s Wind God Kick directly. Long Chen’s advantage was that his claws and flames could damage Yang Ningfeng despite the gap in cultivation level. He managed to injure Yang Ningfeng’s legs several times as the burning flames coated his body.

But Yang Ningfeng’s attacks were strong and fast. They were extremely deadly to Long Chen, so he soon had to retreat. The Typhoon Style had won against the Five Piercing Dragons.

Yang Ningfeng kicked Long Chen with his full strength. Sensing that he was outmatched, Long Chen blocked the kick with his arms and was forced back by the impact.

This time, he spun numerous times in the air before crashing onto the ground. The impact caused him to bleed. It had been a long time since Long Chen suffered such injuries.

His organs were continuously ravaged by Yang Ningfeng’s essence, causing Long Chen to spit out another mouthful of blood.

“Seventh Brother, that’s enough!” Lei Zhen pleaded when he saw how terrible Long Chen looked. They understood what kind of person Long Chen was, and they were right—Long Chen would never give up before he achieved his goals.

Just like how he was chasing after Ling Xi.

Just like how he was standing at the front for the sake of the Battle clan’s survival.

Everyone started to cry when they saw the youth stagger back up. The image of the youth’s strong back was carved into their minds.

“You are still alive. Not bad,” Yang Ningfeng said in a taunting tone, but he was secretly afraid. There were multiple lacerations on his legs, and he felt like he was kicking a furnace when he attacked Long Chen. He still felt the discomfort even now.

If it wasn’t for his essence protecting him, his legs would’ve been burned by now.

And his opponent was only at the First Earthly Martial Realm. There were two levels separating them. Usually, Yang Ningfeng’s Typhoon Style could easily kill someone at the Second Earthly Martial Realm, yet he was struggling to kill Long Chen.

It was clear how strong Long Chen was.

The people from the Martial Alliance whispered to each other.

“Long Chen is a monster. To think he could survive Martial Emperor’s Yang Wind God Kick, Typhoon Style.”

“Long Yue and her brother Long Chen are both at the Third Earthly Martial Stage. This Long Chen is only at the First Earthly Martial Stage, but his combat abilities are already close to theirs.”

“I’ve heard that in the past, the Long family was the strongest faction in the Divine Martial Empire. It seems that it’s true ...”

They assumed Long Chen was Long Yue’s cousin since his battle style was similar.

Yang Ningfeng hadn’t finished Long Chen off yet because he wanted to torture him.

Long Chen stood up and chuckled as if he was unharmed. “Do you think an old man like you has enough strength to kill me? Even if I stood still and let you kick me, I wouldn’t have any issues surviving.”

But in reality, he would not last long.

I still don’t have enough essence. I need to reach the Second Earthly Martial Realm.

Long Chen needed strength, or he would die.

What is the key to advancing into the Second Earthly Martial Realm?

Even though he was in the middle of his fight against Yang Ningfeng, Long Chen was trying to come up with a way to reach the Second Earthly Martial Stage. In fact, he felt like was right on the brink of breaking through.

The chance to break through came from the understanding he had gained in combat.

Long Chen quickly recalled how Yang Ningfeng had attacked. Not only did Yang Ningfeng have more essence, but his attacks and speed were on a different level. Every time Long Chen thought he could block his opponent’s attacks, there were two more impacts that would always send him flying away.

Is this how someone at the Third Earthly Martial Stage uses the power of the earth?

He recalled the second stage of the Earthly Martial Fist as well as what was recorded in the manual. He then superimposed the image of him cultivating with Yang Ningfeng’s body.

It was taboo to enter a daze during battle. Yang Ningfeng felt like he was being looked down upon.

“Yang Ningfeng, end it quickly. Don’t waste any more time,” Zhao Danchen said coldly from the back. Yang Ningfeng nodded quickly, recovering from the shock.

Zhao Danchen had been observing their fight carefully. He already knew how strong Long Chen was after he used the Five Piercing Dragons and Xiaolang’s Nine Devils Ancestral Fire to force him away.

He’s only at the First Earthly Martial Stage, but he’s much stronger than anyone else on his level. He’s very talented.

Zhao Danchen was unhappy, but he was also wary of Long Chen.

In fact, the other Long Chen never gave him this much pressure.

That was why he wanted Yang Ningfeng to end the battle as soon as possible. Yang Ningfeng snarled and remembered how Long Chen had insulted him just now. He raised his head and scoffed. “You are worthy of dying by my hand. I will show you my strongest technique.”

Yang Ningfeng did not hold back.

A simple kick instantly appeared in front of Long Chen. It was a direct attack without any superfluous movements, but it was visibly stronger than the Typhoon Style.

It could only be described as profound.

Even space itself was distorted by Yang Ningfeng’s kick. Long Chen had a feeling that he was not facing a single kick, but the other half of the world crashing towards him.

“Wind God Kick, Wind God Style.”

This is it ...

Long Chen’s bottleneck was shattered thanks to that single kick. He suddenly understood the key to advancing into the Second Earthly Martial Stage.

Even during the final moments, Long Chen was in a trance.

He didn’t block the attack—it landed squarely on his body. An attack from a Third Earthly Martial Stage foe could kill him instantly.

And it almost did. Long Chen’s body almost snapped in half and blood sprayed out from his orifices. He was covered in blood from head to toe.

Yang Ningfeng relaxed because he knew Long Chen was dead.

The people from the Martial Alliance relaxed too.

“A dead genius is nothing.”

Everyone from the Battle clan and the Dragon clan shouted when they saw Long Chen’s corpse flying through the air.

They barely finished their cries when they saw Long Chen’s body changing.

“Rewind.”

The Primordial Dragon Talisman floated out of Long Chen’s chest, and he used the strongest technique that he had access to.

Time rewinded. Long Chen’s blood flowed back into his body and his wounds recovered. Even his crushed organs and the cavity in his chest returned back to normal. Long Chen was back to the state he was in before he was hit by the Wind God Kick.

It was as if Yang Ningfeng’s attack had missed.

“What?!” Long Chen was flying through the air at an extremely fast speed. Everyone thought they had seen blood, but to their surprise, Long Chen landed without any injury. Those from the Martial Alliance choked on their words when they saw what happened.
