Chapter 965, Cornered Beast’s Struggle

Translator: Silavin

 

Under the scrutiny of numerous gazes, the storm slowly dissipated, and the scene within gradually became clear.

 

When they saw a figure standing upright in mid-air, everyone’s pupils contracted, unable to help drawing a sharp breath.

 

In mid-air, Qin Yichen still maintained his punching posture. Outside his fist wrapped in black energy, a blood-coloured blade several times smaller hovered there, as if frozen in mid-air.

 

“That blade… it’s about to crack!” Mu Enxiong’s eyelids jumped sharply as he muttered in disbelief.

 

*Crack!* The next instant, blood-coloured ripples spread across that blade in the sky. After a moment, at the blade edge where it contacted Qin Yichen’s fist, fissures actually began to appear.

 

As cracks appeared on the blade body, Qin Yichen’s body also began to tremble. Clearly, under this stalemate, the consumption was considerable.

 

*Boom!* The fissures on the blade body multiplied. Finally, with a boom, it exploded into pieces. Tiny blade fragments swept past Qin Yichen’s sides, drawing traces of blood and severing several strands of hair.

 

As the blood-coloured blade dissipated, the oppressive pressure enveloping Heaven and Earth finally vanished. Those gazes were all filled with shock. Clearly, they had not expected that Qin Yichen could actually withstand Chen Feng’s blade of such might!

 

In mid-air, Qin Yichen slowly withdrew his fist. At this moment, wounds densely covered his body, deep enough to reveal bone. Streams of blood continuously dripped from his form.

 

Fortunately, his Supreme Tyrant Body was at Partially Accomplished Stage. Otherwise, those shattered blade fragments just now would have been enough to slice his flesh into pieces.

 

Within his Knowledge Sea, the small figure of his Spiritual Energy body had also dimmed somewhat. If the concentration of his Spiritual Energy had not far exceeded that of ordinary Heaven Grade Alchemists, the malevolent vengeful spirits within that blade would have consumed his consciousness!

 

His survival under this strike, beyond his own strength, also involved some luck!

 

Fortunately, those blade fragments had not pierced his vital points. Fortunately, his Spiritual Energy was incomparably solid, allowing him to resist the Soul-capturing vengeful spirits within this blade.

 

Otherwise, even with several more lives, he could not have survived that blade. After all, the gap between him and Chen Feng was still too great!

 

“*Hehehe!* Qin Yichen, you’re somewhat beyond my expectations. However, can you block my second blade?” Silence enveloped Heaven and Earth. Watching the battered Qin Yichen, Chen Feng’s eyes fixed on him like a venomous snake, his bloodthirsty laughter slowly emerging.

 

“If you cannot, then I’ll collect your corpse!” Chen Feng slowly raised his palm. Within it, terrifying Yuan Energy rapidly condensed once more.

 

Qin Yichen’s expression darkened as he watched Chen Feng. He had not expected that the offensive he had barely fended using every means at his disposal could be casually conjured again by his opponent without apparent consumption.

 

That previous attack, though only nine stacks, was already his most powerful counterattack short of invoking his True Dragon Martial Soul.

 

This made him clearly recognise the reality that the strength gap between him and Chen Feng was simply too enormous.

 

“Don’t look so desperate, Qin Yichen. Rest assured, before you’ve entertained me enough, I won’t let you die too easily.” Chen Feng licked his lips, his face savage beyond measure.

 

Originally thinking he could easily slaughter Qin Yichen, he had not expected the latter to actually receive his strike. Moreover, he had only suffered minor injuries, not even considered severely wounded.

 

Being resisted by someone he considered easily crushable stirred a perverse feeling within him. He wanted to thoroughly torment Qin Yichen to release the suppressed murderous energy in his heart!

 

*Whoosh!* A blade fragment several times smaller than before was casually released by Chen Feng. It directly tore through space, shooting violently towards Qin Yichen.

 

*Boom!* Under this attack, Qin Yichen only managed to cross his arms before his chest to block.

 

With a crisp sound, that blade fragment exploded against his arm guards. A terrifying Yuan Energy storm’s impact shifted his internal organs, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed directly from his mouth. His form was blasted back dozens of metres before stabilising.

 

*Whoosh!* However, before Qin Yichen could catch his breath, his pupils contracted. He saw Chen Feng’s form shooting towards him, blood-red blade fragments continuously condensing between his palms, ceaselessly bombarding him.

 

Seeing this, Qin Yichen’s scalp tingled. His body had already suffered considerable injury. If he continued receiving attacks like this, before long, Chen Feng would toy with him to death!

 

“Damn it!” Facing the aggressive Chen Feng, Qin Yichen suddenly turned towards the direction of Prison Dragon Slope, where black energy surged skyward like a black flame volcano. After a brief struggle, ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He swallowed two Pills and his form retreated violently.

 

“Hehe, trying to escape? Move faster then! This speed won’t get you out of my palm!”

 

Seeing Qin Yichen’s action, Chen Feng laughed playfully. His form leisurely followed, blood blades constantly exhaling from his palms, shooting towards Qin Yichen.

 

*Boom! Boom!* Qin Yichen evaded those shooting blade fragments when possible. When unavoidable, he protected his vital points and mobilised his arm guards to resist.

 

Each collision worsened his internal condition. Even with extremely potent medicinal Pills, he couldn’t recover from such injuries.

 

Chen Feng seemed to be deliberately toying with him like a cat with a mouse. Whenever Qin Yichen felt his body reaching its limit, Chen Feng would deliberately shoot Yuan Energy around him, giving him a moment to breathe.

 

This chase and flight appeared to outsiders like Chen Feng mockingly blasting Qin Yichen repeatedly. Moreover, the direction Qin Yichen was being blasted towards was exactly where countless experts had perished… the location of Prison Dragon Slope!

 

Currently, the swamp outside Prison Dragon Slope has contracted to just over a hundred kilometres. However, within this hundred kilometre range, black energy surged skyward like consuming black flames. Just watching made one’s scalp tingle.

 

Under Qin Yichen’s full-speed flight, in just half an hour, he arrived at the position closest to this black flame’s centre.

 

Reaching here, even under Chen Feng’s Yuan Qi protection, black energy continuously attempted to corrode into his body. This caused his brow to furrow involuntarily.

 

That playful mentality seemed to grow tiresome. On his face, impatience gradually emerged.
