Chapter 926

Zi Chen gave up all his techniques and attacks. His attacks became direct and simple. He held the spear, circulated the two types of essence energy, and stabbed straight.

This was an attack without any pattern. Anyone could do it.

The sword beam came again, but Zi Chen didn't dodge. He even faced it head-on. It was as though he was committing suicide. Unfortunately, the Dragon Soul Spear that followed Zi Chen forward was also stabbing straight at him.

Kenshin's eyes flashed. He, who should have left two bloody holes in Zi Chen's body, could only stab one before withdrawing his sword to block.

Amidst the clanging sound, he blocked Zi Chen's attack. Sparks erupted when the spear collided with the sword beam, but due to his slow retreat, another wound appeared on his body. Although this wound was more than ten times lighter than Zi Chen's and was extremely insignificant, for some reason, Kenshin's heart suddenly palpitated.

Intense energy fluctuations came from afar. This was the collision of the Overlord Body and the Perfect Body. It was likely that the battle between the two of them was extremely intense.

On Zi Chen's side, the battle situation was slowly changing. Zi Chen had gone from being passive to taking the initiative at some point in time. The bloody holes that Kenshin struck Zi Chen's body were decreasing, but the wounds on his body were increasing.

Zi Chen flashed and charged straight at Kenshin, thrusting the spear in his hand again.

Kenshin began to dodge, but his speed wasn't as fast as Zi Chen's. He could only choose to be hit or block. He used his sword to block Zi Chen's attack, but soon, Zi Chen's attack came again.

Seeing that Zi Chen didn't defend and only attacked blindly, exchanging life for life, Kenshin suddenly lost his confidence. His original arrogant expression had long disappeared, replaced by solemnity and seriousness.

Kenshin was forced to retreat as he cursed Zi Chen inwardly for being a lunatic.

He wanted to seize the opportunity to kill the defenseless Zi Chen in one strike, but he was always short of an opportunity. Every time there was a chance to kill Zi Chen, the spear in Zi Chen's hand would take his life.

Kenshin didn't dare risk his life and kept retreating. The wounds on his body increased, and by the time he realized that something was amiss, his injuries were already extremely serious.

"Run!"

The powerful Jianxin's will was completely destroyed by Zi Chen's fighting style. He no longer had the will to fight and decided to run away.

However, he didn't even have the will to destroy the enemy. Jianxin had clearly lost this battle. Zi Chen's injuries were much more serious than Jianxin's, but the killing intent surging around him was ten times stronger than Jianxin's.

"You won't be able to leave." As his cold words fell, Zi Chen's body flashed with brilliance, and he split into three.

The two doppelgangers formed seals at the same time, displaying extreme Yin and extreme Yang. A golden sun and a crescent moon appeared and went straight for Jianxin. When Jianxin blocked these two attacks, his speed inevitably decreased greatly. At this moment, Zi Chen stepped forward with his spear and stabbed at him.

"Pu." Kenshin's body now had a bloody hole.

Although the Yin-Yang energy didn't explode, if Zi Chen could open a bloody hole, he could open a few more.

The doppelgangers disappeared, reappeared, and disappeared again. In this cycle, more and more bloody holes appeared on Jianxin's body. In the end, the number of bloody holes on Jianxin's body finally exceeded Zi Chen's. However, he could only compare to a Spirit Body, not a Perfect Body. Therefore, his injuries were much more serious than Zi Chen's.

There was no longer any suspense in killing Jianxin. In his heavily injured state, he chose to fight Zi Chen with his life on the line. He was purely courting death.

The sharp strike nearly sliced apart half of Zi Chen's body. At the same time, a huge hole appeared in Zi Chen's chest. This injury was very serious, so serious that even a Perfect Body couldn't recover. However, in exchange, Jianxin died.

This was the result of Jianxin risking his life.

The spear in Zi Chen's hand finally stabbed into Jianxin's glabella, destroying Jianxin's heavily injured soul.

Zi Chen had finally relied on his own strength to kill an existence comparable to a Spirit Body one-on-one.

With Jianxin dead, Zi Chen was almost at the end of his rope.

He descended from the sky, and the light around him had already become extremely dim. At that moment, the world trembled as powerful auras appeared from the horizon.

Sensing the auras, Zi Chen looked towards the horizon and saw figures approaching from afar. These figures were abnormally tall, comparable to a bear. They were the body cultivators who should have left earlier.

They were heading straight for him, their intentions unknown.

Now, Zi Chen's condition was extremely bad. Even a treasure pill couldn't quickly recover from his injuries. The sudden appearance of these body cultivators made Zi Chen's expression turn extremely ugly.

At that moment, a powerful aura emerged from another direction. This was an aura that Zi Chen was familiar with. It came from the Demon Ape.

The Demon Ape held the black rod and arrived in time. It stood in front of Zi Chen and blocked the body cultivators in front of him. There were a total of six people, and their combat strength was comparable to a Human Origin Connate realm warrior.

The other party didn't charge straight over. Instead, they stopped a thousand meters away and looked at the Demon Ape from afar.

During this period of time, there were constant tremors coming from afar. The outcome of the battle between the Perfect Body and the Overlord Body had yet to be decided, but these body cultivators had no intention of helping.

"It's all settled." Zi Chen's weak voice sounded.

"It's all settled. Your injuries are very serious. Hurry up and recover," the Demon Ape said without turning its head.

The body cultivators didn't attack, nor did the Demon Ape.

In the distance, the tremors lasted for a moment before coming to an end. The outcome of the battle between the Overlord Body and the Perfect Body had already been decided. The body cultivators in front remained indifferent, as though they didn't care about the outcome. However, their attitude also indicated that the victor was definitely the Perfect Body.

Moments later, a figure appeared on the horizon. It was none other than the body cultivator with the Perfect Body.

The other party flew over and when he saw Zi Chen, a strange glint flashed in his eyes. Then, he strode towards Zi Chen.

The Demon Ape stood in front of Zi Chen and held the black rod as it said to the Perfect Body in front of it, "If you take another step forward, don't blame me for being impolite."

The Perfect Body answered the Demon Ape with his actions. He didn't stop as he walked towards Zi Chen step by step.

"You must have a death wish!" The Demon Ape roared as he brandished his rod and was about to strike.

"Wait." Zi Chen's weak voice stopped the Demon Ape.

The Demon Ape looked at Zi Chen as Zi Chen looked at the Perfect Body.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of the Perfect Body's mouth as he looked down at Zi Chen and said, "Can you still fight?"

Zi Chen's voice was weak, but it was extremely firm as he replied, "It's enough to kill you."

"Haha."

The Perfect Body laughed out loud for a long time before stopping. He said, "Alright, only the two of us are left. Let's see who has the last laugh."

Zi Chen stood up with an extremely determined look in his eyes. "Come on."

The dim light around Zi Chen suddenly became blinding. He didn't use the Dragon Soul Spear. Instead, he clenched his fist and charged at the Perfect Body.

The corners of the Perfect Body's mouth curled into a smile as he similarly clenched his fist and punched Zi Chen.

Pfft. Pfft.

Zi Chen punched the Perfect Body's chest as the latter similarly punched Zi Chen's chest. The two of them didn't dodge and continued attacking before vomiting blood.

However, the blood Zi Chen spat out was golden, while the blood of the Perfect Body was blood-red.

A powerful force surged out from their fists. This force almost shattered each other's bodies. As the force surged, the two of them retreated.

However, just as they retreated, they stepped forward again.

It was still an attack without any defense, a pure physical collision. After the two of them clashed, they were sent flying again.

However, this time, Zi Chen flew dozens of meters back, while the Perfect Body only took a few steps back.

"Your injuries are too serious. I'm afraid you won't be able to make it," the Perfect Body said coldly.

Zi Chen looked coldly at the Perfect Body and said, "You will definitely be the one to die."

With that said, Zi Chen charged at the Perfect Body again.

Blood splattered as Zi Chen was sent flying again. His injuries became more and more serious, to the point where his life was in danger.

However, at that moment, the Perfect Body transformed into a beam of light and charged at Zi Chen. The other party quickly approached Zi Chen and launched a series of attacks at Zi Chen's body.

Amidst the loud bangs, Zi Chen's body was like a sandbag. His body was bleeding from many places, and his entire body was in tatters as though it could explode at any moment.

Monstrous killing intent surged around the demonic ape as it charged at the Perfect Body with the black rod in hand. However, before the demonic ape could reach the Perfect Body, a few body cultivators stood in front of it.

"Those who stop me will die!" The demonic ape roared as it instantly used World Devouring Demon in a bid to kill the body cultivators.

At that moment, the Perfect Body finished its combo. Zi Chen's body landed on the ground as the Perfect Body looked down at Zi Chen and said, "This should do, right?"

After landing, Zi Chen's body didn't explode. Instead, it emitted rays of light. One had to know that the light on Zi Chen's body had been completely dispersed when he faced the Perfect Body's combo.

However, at that moment, Zi Chen's body glowed again.

This light was emitted from his blood, bones, bone marrow, meridians, and organs. It spread from the inside out to the surface of his body. After the light faded, Zi Chen's body burned with flames again.

In the beginning, the flame was only a small flame, but it quickly rose into a huge fire. Then, the fire engulfed Zi Chen. And amidst the flames, there was a palpitating aura. This was the aura of the Fire of Life.

After Zi Chen's Perfect Body was nearly blown up by the Spirit Body, this was the second time he was heavily injured and reborn.

In the sky, the Perfect Body stared at Zi Chen below as a strange glint flashed in its eyes. "Indeed, it's the purest Perfect Body. This self-healing ability is truly enviable. Every time you are reborn from the flames, it's a metamorphosis and enhancement of the Perfect Body."

Upon seeing Zi Chen's situation, the tyrannical demonic ape's face instantly lit up with ecstasy. It no longer smashed down with the black rod in its hand. The demonic aura that filled the sky dissipated as it quickly rushed to the Fire of Life and shouted at the Perfect Body above, "If you know what's good for you, leave now and you can still preserve your life. If you don't, only death awaits you."

The Perfect Body looked at the demonic ape and asked with a smile, "Leave? Why should I leave?"

"If you don't leave, you'll die," said the demonic ape coldly.

The Perfect Body smiled and said, "I haven't obtained what I want. I won't leave."

The demonic ape glared. "How dare you snatch something?"

The Perfect Body shook its head. "It's not snatching. It's taking. Or rather, giving. This is because I need to take something from Zi Chen, or Zi Chen will give me something."

"Dream on."

Just as the demonic ape finished speaking, Zi Chen's voice sounded from the flames. "What do you want me to give you?"

"The Perfect Body's technique," said the Perfect Body.

"You want the Heavenly Book? Dream on," repeated the demonic ape.
