Chapter 1376
Chapter 1376
The atmosphere was oppressive, and a battle could break out at any time. Everyone was tense, and Zi Chen's sudden words gave many people a fright.
A few people couldn't help but take a step back. They were too nervous, and their faces were immediately filled with awkwardness.
This included Ling Dong. Man Shi and Wu Xie had almost killed him back then, and his experience with Zi Chen had almost become a nightmare in his heart. Therefore, he reflexively retreated when Zi Chen made a move.
After all, he was the one Zi Chen hated the most among them. He was worried that Zi Chen would kill him without saying a word as soon as he arrived.
However, the awkwardness on his face disappeared in a flash. He then said coldly, "Dead. Everyone is dead. You're the only one left. They're all waiting for you."
Zi Chen's initial nervousness slowly disappeared when he heard this.
He took a deep breath, and a murderous intent appeared in his cold eyes. His companions were dead, and his enemy was right in front of him. Even if he had to die in battle, he had to avenge himself.
"Die."
Murderous intent filled his eyes, and he shouted in a low voice. He held his saber, took a step forward, and rushed toward a cultivator.
"Decapitation."
As he rushed forward, the scabbard in Zi Chen's left hand turned into a ray of black light and swept toward the neck of a cultivator.
The saber was fast and ruthless. Layers of ripples appeared in the space, and a powerful pressure appeared. The cultivator felt his body being obstructed, and his speed slowed down significantly.
"Ha."
However, there were more than 75 cultivators around him, so he wasn't afraid at all. With a loud shout, he raised the Domain Weapon in his hand with difficulty and blocked the attack.
Clang.
The Domain Weapon blocked the saber, but then a huge force came out and sent the Domain Weapon flying. After sending the Domain Weapon flying, the saber light was still dazzling, and its speed didn't slow down. It swept toward the neck of the cultivator in front of him.
However, the pause in the attack allowed the others to attack. As rays of light flashed, three Domain Weapons passed through the oppressive space and arrived in front of the saber light.
"Clang." "Clang."
Following the crisp sound of vibrations, streaks of energy shot out in all directions like snakes. In the end, Zi Chen's attack was blocked by the three of them.
Although he had already guessed that they would be able to block this attack, Ye Jing's face still turned deathly pale. He had been so close to death just a moment ago.
Swoosh.
Although he had blocked the attack, Zi Chen's attack was not over yet. His left hand gripped the scabbard tightly while his right hand was already on the hilt. The moment he gripped the hilt, Zi Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light as he pulled out the blade.
A bright and dazzling saber light appeared in front of everyone.
In addition to being extremely dazzling, this saber-light also carried a strong oppressive force. When this oppressive force landed on the bodies of the few Domain Realm cultivators in front, they felt as if they had fallen into a swamp. Their speed was reduced to zero. They could only stare at the dazzling saber-light with teary eyes in horror as it disappeared before their eyes.
The saber-light flashed and disappeared as the long saber returned to its scabbard. Zi Chen returned to the center of the battlefield and stood there indifferently.
The two attacks had taken less than a breath. The other cultivators around him had just gotten into position to attack when the battle was over.
They gripped their Domain Weapons tightly as their bodies came to a halt. Their gazes were also directed to the front, where the four Domain Stage practitioners had joined forces to block Zi Chen.
Under everyone's gaze, the vitality of the four Domain Realm cultivators was extinguished like a candle flame. Their eyes instantly lost focus and their bodies fell backward.
After the saber was pulled out, the four of them died with horrified expressions on their faces.
Wan Xiong's pupils shrank. The look in his eyes, which had already been cautious, changed once again.
Miao Zhendong's eyes flashed as he looked at Zi Chen with deep fear in the depths of his eyes.
Yan Fen's heart and mind were shaken. If that attack had been used on him, even if he had not died, he would have been seriously injured. The moment the saber was pulled out, the attack was sharp and swift. It was indeed as terrifying as the rumors said.
Compared to the other three Domain Realm cultivators, Ling Dong appeared to be very weak. This was because he was terrified and his body could not help but tremble slightly.
Zi Chen had used a lot of mental energy to kill the four Domain Realm cultivators with one slash. He did not attack again. Instead, he held the scabbard in his left hand and placed his right hand gently on the saber hilt. His body was slightly bent forward as he assumed the posture of pulling out the saber.
When the other people around saw Zi Chen's action, their expressions froze. However, they did not dare to move forward again.
There was no such thing as an airtight wall in the world. Moreover, in this world that was full of freedom, the other forces knew very well that the three forces had besieged Hu Pingcheng and the others.
They had all heard about how much trouble Zi Chen had caused them.
For a time, Zi Chen's name had spread throughout the entire level. Because of Zi Chen, no one dared to look down on No. 653 Hu Pingcheng. In other words, after seeing Zi Chen, everyone deliberately ignored his background.
This time, news of the three forces plotting against Zi Chen quickly spread after keeping it a secret in the beginning.
Many cultivators had gathered in the area when the first battle between the two sides began. In addition to the numerous cultivators, the leaders of the various forces had also arrived. This included the leader of No. 16 Xue An City, Xue Ming, whom Lin Yun had met in the outside world.
"I never imagined that the leader of Hu Pingcheng would be so terrifying this time. He's only at the mid Corporeal stage, yet he's able to kill four first layer Domain practitioners with a single slash." A Domain practitioner beside Xue Ming also spoke in shock.
They had all seen Zi Chen's slash. The glaring blade light had caused them to narrow their eyes even though they were very far away.
Another Domain practitioner sighed, "It is indeed terrifying. It's said that the three forces expended a great deal of effort when they surrounded and killed the others. However, it seems that they only managed to kill a few people. The others did not die at their hands. The people from Hu Pingcheng this time are all extraordinary."
"These three forces are truly despicable. To think that they would do such a despicable thing. Aren't they afraid of becoming the laughingstock of the entire Shuntian Prefecture if news of this spread?"
"The people from the three forces have been far too arrogant during this period of time. It's not a bad idea to have Zi Chen dampen their spirits."
Many people from Xue An City despised Zi Chen's act of taking advantage of the situation when they were in the outside world. However, after Zi Chen displayed his strength in this world, everyone undoubtedly acknowledged him. At the same time, they also greatly admired Zi Chen's brotherly love.
The others in the distance were the same. They could not stand the actions of the three forces.
Although everyone was dissatisfied with the three forces, they had no intention of taking action. Each and every one of them looked to the front, waiting for the second battle to begin.
Faintly, they were also somewhat anticipating that Zi Chen would be able to slaughter everyone, even if this expectation was very unrealistic.
"There's something strange about this place." Xue Ming, who had not spoken all this while, withdrew his gaze from the distance and spoke in an indifferent voice.
Evidently, apart from Xue Ming, from the slight frown on the faces of the leaders of the other forces, one could tell that they had also discovered something.
However, before the others could ask in detail, the people in front of them began to move again.
A stalemate … was not a solution after all. Wan Xiong, who seemed to have guessed that Zi Chen was stalling for time, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Kill!"
"Kill!"
The remaining dozen people roared one after another. Monstrous murderous roars reverberated throughout the area. Immediately after, the dozen or so Domain realm experts transformed into streaks of light and charged towards Zi Chen.
Before the encirclement, everyone had some understanding of Zi Chen. They knew that he possessed extremely fast speed, so when they charged forward, each one of them maintained an almost uniform attack pattern.
The purpose of this was to prevent Zi Chen from finding the gaps in their attacks, so that he could quickly avoid them.
"Swoosh."
However, Zi Chen had no intention of dodging. At this moment, the Beheading Technique would not be of much use, so he could only use the Sword Drawing Technique again.
The dazzling and dazzling sword light once again appeared in everyone's line of sight.
"Clang." "Clang." "Clang."
However, this time, under the shroud of the dazzling sword light, the clear sound of metal clashing rang out in the sky.
The dazzling light finally transformed into a surge of energy that spread in all directions.
The dozen or so people who had charged forward also retreated one after another. Apart from the few people who had been attacked by Zi Chen, whose battle armor had dimmed, the others were unscathed.
Because they had taken precautions, it was somewhat unrealistic for Zi Chen to use the same move to casually kill more than a dozen people.
Zi Chen's breathing was somewhat ragged. The attack from before had been completely blocked by the battle armor on his body. However, because he had yet to make a breakthrough, the armor that had fused with the dragon scales was still a solid weapon. The luster on the armor had dimmed a little.
"Zi Chen, do you think our people died for nothing? We've already seen through some of your methods over the past few days. If you don't have any other tricks up your sleeve, today will be the day you die." After blocking the attack, Ling Dong's confidence had grown a little. The expression on his face appeared somewhat crazed.
"Heh heh, you'll die just like your friends. They're still waiting for you underground." Yan Fen laughed sinisterly, his eyes like a poisonous snake.
"Mind attacks are useless against me. Come at me if you want to kill me. Besides, do you really think that you'll be able to defeat me today?"
Zi Chen's expression was still indifferent. As his words rang out, a powerful aura was released from his body.
This aura was no longer that of the mid Corporeal stage, but the late Corporeal stage. Moreover, it was an aura that was infinitely close to the first layer Domain stage.
The aura instantly soared, causing everyone's expressions to drastically change.
