Chapter 176: Chapter 161: Fierce Battle and Temporary Retreat
Translator: 549690339
Heavy rain was pouring from the sky.
In the midst of the rain curtain, Chen Sheng’s attributes were increased by a third.
Activating the Xuanwu transformation could make Chen Sheng’s Strength Attribute rise by another half.
In other words,
Chen Sheng’s Strength Attribute was now around four hundred points!
Such terrifying strength, even the shockwaves created by the impacts alone could kill weaker martial artists.
A glimpse of the surrounding devastation was enough to prove this point.
Whether it was martial artists from the Martial Arts Association or armed personnel from the Wu’an Bureau, all were swept up by the shockwaves produced from their fight and thrown hard onto the ground.
Even though these armed personnel were all wearing a lot of protective equipment.
This particular impact left them feeling their internal organs churning
violently.
With a retching sound,
Wang He, in the distance, coughed up fresh blood.
It was the result of his internal organs taking a strong hit.
However,
Even with his injuries, Wang He had no intention of paying attention to his physical condition.
As he watched Zhao Zhenfeng knocked away in the distance, he could only feel fear emerging in his mind.
Zhao Zhenfeng, who was basically invincible in Wang He’s heart, was instantly knocked back after an exchange with this invisible enemy.
He only felt an endless chill enveloping him, making his blood seem frozen stiff.
But even so,
He had no intention of just waiting for death.
He looked around.
He saw the surrounding armed personnel, despite their injuries, managed to stand up from the ground.
“Fire!”
“Assist Master Zhao!”
Under Wang He’s throaty shouts, the armed personnel around him didn’t hesitate at all and quickly aimed in the direction where Zhao Zhenfeng had been and started shooting.
As soon as the words were spoken,
The sounds of gunfire echoed nonstop in the rain.
However,
Ding, ding, ding.
The disappearing bullets and the sound of metal colliding made Wang He’s heart sink deeper and deeper.
The bullets probably couldn’t even break through the enemy’s defense.
Not only that,
Within a mere moment.
The sound of metallic collision disappeared completely.
The enemy… was probably chasing after Zhao Zhenfeng!
“Shoot around Master Zhao!”
“Damn it!!”
At the edge of the lake, Zhao Zhenfeng’s feet were deeply embedded in the ground.
In front of him, two ravines tens of meters long were clearly visible.
He looked at his right hand, which had just clashed with Chen Sheng’s, with an extremely gloomy expression.
The surface of his twisted arm, where the skin was split like shattered porcelain with fresh blood continuously seeping out.
This injury was not a problem for Zhao Zhenfeng.
With his physical condition, he could recover quickly.
He was just irritated that he had been too careless, not activating his Breathing Technique in time, and was thus repelled by the enemy.
And also…
Whoosh!
Zhao Zhenfeng raised his head, staring straight ahead.
A wave of furious wind suddenly rushed towards him again, blowing his hair strands backwards.
His muscular arm, filled with deep blue patterns, once again emerged in the air, striking his head with overwhelming force.
Was he planning to… beat him while he was down?!
Zhao Zhenfeng’s eyes turned red.
Endless humiliation welled up within him.
As a direct disciple of the Sect Master of the Power Sect, his martial arts talent was exceptionally high.
Since becoming a martial artist, he progressed extremely quickly.
This gave him a deeply ingrained arrogant personality.
He always condescendingly looked down on all those weaker than him.
He had never experienced what he was going through today, being wounded by a single hit and repeatedly put under pressure. What’s more,
From the patterns on the opponent’s arm,
He was likely the true culprit who had attacked Xiang Zeng only a few days ago, leaving Xiang Zeng brain -disabled and causing the complete loss of the Power Sect’s dignity.
This new grievance was added on top of the old grudge.
The desire to kill surged up in Zhao Zhenfeng’s mind at this moment.
“Inhale
As he raised his left arm to meet Chen Sheng’s attack simultaneously,
The air around him visibly fluctuated, with copious amounts of air flowing into his body through the gaps between his teeth.
Zhao Zhenfeng was about to initiate the Breathing Technique.
But how could Chen Sheng let him do as he pleased?
“You inhale your mother?!”
Smack!
Chen Sheng converted his punch into a palm, directly clamping Zhao Zhenfeng’s mouth shut.
Seeking death!
A flash of murderous intent appeared in Zhao Zhenfeng’s eyes.
Even if he hadn’t initiated the Breathing State yet,
This full-on punch wasn’t something an ordinary martial artist could take.
Hence,
He ignored Chen Sheng’s palm clutching his head,
Gathered all his strength in his left arm, and directly slammed it towards the empty space in front of him.
Boom!
A dull sound echoed.
Huh?
Zhao Zhenfeng’s eyes widened.
He was sure he had hit the enemy.
But the sensation from his fist… felt extremely wrong!
Bang!
The ground collapsed within dozens of meters around the two of them at the same time.
Zhao Zhenfeng also felt a huge force coming from Chen Sheng’s body.
It wasn’t less than the full strength of his own punch.
Crack!
The colossal force swept in, causing Zhao Zhenfeng’s arm to break instantly.
Intense pain continuously stimulated his nerves.
But before Zhao Zhenfeng could react,
He suddenly felt lighter.
At the same time, his vision rapidly rose upward.
Chen Sheng just held Zhao Zhenfeng’s head and lifted him into midair.
Then,
Gave a fierce slam towards the ground!
Boom!
The ground trembled.
The cracks that were already distributed around them expanded even more, countless shattered stones and dust lifted, intertwining with the falling raindrops from the sky.
The incessant gunfire amidst the rain abruptly ceased.
The surrounding armed personnel almost stumbled from the sudden shake. As for Zhao Zhenfeng at the center of the seismic activity,
His body was deeply embedded into the ground, blood constantly seeping from the corner of his mouth.
But even so,
Chen Sheng could clearly hear that his in-body heartbeat was not the slightest bit weak, but actually growing stronger.
Obviously.
Chen Sheng had not been successful in interrupting the opponent’s activation of his Breathing Technique just now.
But this was within his expectation.
A Martial Artist who has reached the Breathing State, activating the Breathing Technique was second nature, not something simply interrupted by stopping their breathing.
Thinking this,
Chen Sheng’s gaze was icy.
He had killed Xiang Zeng and Zhou Zheng. He and the Power Sect were already at the stage of fighting till death.
Even if he did not kill Zhao Zhenfeng, the latter would be aiming to kill him.
As such,
Now he had the chance to kill Zhao Zhenfeng.
Why not take it? Therefore.
“Die!”
His arms transformed into countless shadow punches, frenziedly pounding towards Zhao Zhenfeng beneath him.
“You’re the one who will die!”
Being continuously attacked by Chen Sheng, a strong sense of humiliation made Zhao Zhenfeng look mad.
He raised his broken arms, fearlessly meeting Chen Sheng’s descending fists with a punch.
The next second.
Boom boom boom!!!
The earth was shaking madly, far more intense than before.
Around the lake, cracks were rapidly spreading and merging.
The Martial Arts Association and the personnel of the Wu’an Bureau, just struggling to keep their balance and avoid the ground fissures, were already exhausting their whole strength. They simply had no time to care about Chen Sheng.
Such a dreadful scene,
Comparable to the power of heaven and earth.
“Could this really be… something that humans can do?!”
Off at a distance,
While Wang He was dodging the spreading cracks, his eyes kept glancing towards the center of the battlefield.
Even though that area was already obscured by the rising dust and falling rain curtain, making him unable to see the situation clearly.
But Wang He still felt his legs trembling.
Did this have anything to do with Martial Arts or Martial Artists at all?
Just fighting caused such a commotion.
They were simply monsters.
Not from the same world as him at all.
Listening to the continuous explosion sound in his ears, about to burst his eardrums.
The determination to reach the pinnacle of Martial Artists, deep in Wang He’s heart.
At this quiet moment, had turned into dust.
Gone without a trace.
On the battlefield side.
Chen Sheng’s massive fists rained down like a heavy downpour, clashing with Zhao Zhenfeng’s fist time and time again.
The ground beneath the two of them kept sinking.
In the blink of an eye,
Even the lake water started pouring in.
However,
Although he was in an advantageous position,
Chen Sheng’s face did not show the slightest bit of excitement.
Instead, his brows furrowed deeper.
With each clash between him and Zhao Zhenfeng,
The latter’s life response not only didn’t weaken, but even grew stronger.
At the start,
Zhao Zhenfeng’s arm would get more twisted with every collision with Chen Sheng.
But now,
As time passed, his arm was slowly recovering.
Moreover, the force coming from each collision was gradually increasing.
Until now,
Even though it still wasn’t a match for Chen Sheng, it was already not as easily defeated as before.
And Zhao Zhenfeng.
No longer had the appearance of the white-faced pretty boy from before.
In his eyes, countless tiny pitch-black pupils formed compound eyes, flashing an unnerving chill.
His originally fair skin had turned brownish, there was even a layer of carapace, continuously shattered under Chen Sheng’s onslaught, but it also continuously regenerated, making Chen Sheng feel his punching sensation becoming harder.
Most bizarrely,
Was the faint red light flowing on Zhao Zhenfeng’s body.
This red light seemed to ignore defenses. During his clashes with Chen Sheng, it corroded his fists non-stop.
Until now,
The surface of Chen Sheng’s skin had already been corroded off a layer, revealing bloody bones.
And the gaze of Zhao Zhenfeng became colder and colder.
As if waiting for the moment Chen Sheng’s strength was depleted, to counterkill him.
“Brother Chen, you won’t be able to kill him, better enter the Sealed Land first.”
At this time,
Shen Ziming’s voice entered his ears.
Upon hearing this,
Even if Chen Sheng was unwilling, he had to admit that killing Zhao Zhenfeng in a short amount of time was likely impossible.
As for maxing out the Xuanwu Transformation, it was too risky.
Although the maximum level of Xuanwu Transformation could elevate Chen Sheng’s Great Strength to a new height.
But if he couldn’t kill Zhao Zhenfeng in a short amount of time, the one to die would be Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng did not want to put himself in danger without reaching a desperate situation with no way out.
Thinking this.
“I understand.”
Chen Sheng’s gaze deepened.
The next second.
Swoosh!
The wild onslaught that was like a heavy downpour suddenly stopped.
When Zhao Zhenfeng’s face showed shock, before he could react.
Chen Sheng pushed off with both feet.
The huge body rose from the ground, instantly leaping out of the deep pit.
As his body hit the ground,
Chen Sheng didn’t pause at all, he rushed toward the lake.
“Trying to escape?!”
But at this moment.
Zhao Zhenfeng’s cold voice came from behind.
It was finally his turn to counterattack, how could he let Chen Sheng escape so easily?
Boom!
In the deep pit, the booming sound rose again.
Zhao Zhenfeng, whose skin was radiating a red light and body surface was continuously steaming, quickly leapt out of the pit to chase after Chen Sheng.
However,
Under the combined effects of Xuanwu Transformation and the heavy rain,
Chen Sheng’s speed was not any slower than Zhao Zhenfeng’s.
In the blink of an eye,
He was the first one to leap into the lake.
Slap_
The lake water instantly exploded into a shower of spray.
Zhao Zhenfeng followed closely, jumping in after him.
However,
Just as he dived underwater.
Zhao Zhenfeng’s eyes widened instantly.
Where’s the person?!
