Chapter 75 Fighting Against Ying Hou
Although Long Chen had long since been on guard against him, he had still never thought that Ying Houâs speed was so terrifying . As soon as he just barely moved, he had already arrived in front of him .
But he had already prepared himself for this . If Ying Hou wasnât strong, how could he be listed with his father as one of the empireâs top three experts?
Long Chenâs heart was completely calm as he watched the sword slash towards his neck . Any fear was put away . He entered a kind of special state .
Not paying the slightest attention to Ying Houâs sword, his power exploded as he slashed the broadsword in his hands at Ying Houâs waist .
The broadsword was exceptionally heavy, but now that he had twelve cyclones, his physical strength had reached an inconceivable level . It was no longer any problem to Long Chen .
Wind whistled . The current Long Chen no longer dared to hold anything back . As he slashed with that broadsword with his full strength, even space seemed to be cut apart .
Ying Hou clearly had not expected that Long Chen would be so unafraid of death . This was clearly an attack that would cause both sides to suffer .
But despite it being such a basic method, it caused his attack to completely collapse . The sword in his hand was only three feet long, a standard sword length .
But Long Chenâs broadsword was seven feet long . If their attacks continued like this, then the result would be that while his sword would manage to slash through Long Chenâs throat, Long Chenâs broadsword would also cut apart his body .
No matter how conceited he was, he would never dare use his body to block Long Chenâs broadsword . Even a Muscle Rebirth expert like him was unable to do that . He had no choice but to give up his attack . Turning his body, he floated back, dodging the sword by just a fraction of an inch .
Although Long Chen seemed as if he was planning on bringing Ying Hou down even at the cost of his own life, the truth was that he was sure that if he had dodged instead, Ying Hou who had taken the initiative would continue to press his advantage . If he let Ying Hou attack him consecutively, he would just be quickening his defeat .
Seeing Ying Hou retreat, Long Chen roared, his voice like spring thunder . His broadswordâs slash suddenly stopped and became a stab straight for Ying Houâs stomach .
Ying Hou had only just dodged when he saw Long Chen suddenly change attacks . His expression couldnât help changing slightly .
After all, that broadsword was heavy to an astonishing level . Ying Hou had already seen that, so he didnât dare take it head on .
But the important thing was that such a shockingly heavy broadsword was able to be controlled so easily by Long Chen . He was even able of switching attack patterns in the middle of an attack . That meant Long Chenâs strength had already reached a terrifying level .
âHmph, itâs just brute force . â Ying Hou coldly snorted . His sword streaked through the air and heavily stabbed against Long Chenâs broadsword .
Sparks shot everywhere . Long Chen was shocked that his full strength attack was pushed to the side by Ying Houâs sword, causing his sword to only hit air as it went past Ying Houâs body .
More importantly, he had used so much force that with the addition of Ying Houâs sword stab, Long Chenâs body was also forced forward along with his broadsword .
Long Chen had only just realized what a terrible situation he was in when Ying Houâs sword shot out as fast as thunder, aiming right for a vital point on his stomach .
Relying on his spiritâs battle experience, he instinctively twisted .
Ying Houâs speed was too quick for him to dodge . His sword stabbed a bloody hole in his stomach .
Luckily Long Chenâs twisting had caused him to miss a vital point . But before Long Chen could even take a breath, Ying Houâs second slash was already coming, this time for his throat .
Long Chenâs heart was wildly thumping . This was a what a Muscle Rebirth expert was? There was no way to fight on par with him . In front of Ying Hou, Long Chen was like a child without the slightest ability to retaliate!
The speed of Ying Houâs sword was inconceivable . It was already too late for him to dodge . He could only watch with his eyes wide opened as it approached his throat .
Other than the icy-cold sword that was approaching, the only other thing in his eyes was Ying Hou whose expression was filled with ridicule and resentment . This was the first time Long Chen felt death be so close .
âFuck off!â
A golden light flew by . Due to the wind revolving around it, a sharp whistling sound rang out as it cut the air apart .
Just as Ying Houâs sword had been about to pierce Long Chenâs throat, a huge golden ax viciously chopped down at Ying Hou .
Amanâs reactions had been a bit slow . Seeing the two of them talking and then suddenly start fighting, he hadnât even reacted until he saw that Long Chenâs life was about to be lost . In a great hurry, he had charged forward, swinging down his ax with his full strength .
Ying Hou was just about to kill Long Chen . Suddenly feeling his back turn cold and an intense mortal danger, although he was a bit unwilling, he had no choice but to give up his killing attack on Long Chen and swing his sword up to meet Amanâs battle-ax .
Aman was forced back dozens of meters and looked in shock at Ying Hou .
Ying Hou also didnât have an easy time as he was shaken back several meters . His sword blow just now had used a technique to shift the power away . However, he was still forced back . Even his arm was somewhat numb . He was actually greatly shaken by this . Aman was practically a Magical Beast in human form .
Having his life saved, Long Chen quickly whispered a few things to Aman, ending with, âAman, heâs very difficult to deal with . Weâll have to stake our lives . â
âStake your lives?â Ying Hou rubbed his somewhat numb arm and sneered, âWith just your superficial tricks and that brute force? You two might be very powerful compared to others, but in front of a Muscle Rebirth expert like me, neither of you have the slightest chance . â
Long Chen pointed his sword at Ying Hou . âWhether or not we have a chance is something weâll only know after trying . â
Ying Hou didnât seem to be a in a rush to kill them . He stabbed his sword into the ground like a crutch . He began to indifferently speak:
âAlthough I canât see through your cultivation bases, thereâs not the slightest trace of Blood Qi coming from your bodies . That means you are both in Qi Condensation .
âAs a present Iâll be sending to your father, Iâll do you a favor and tell you just how great the difference is between us .
âAt Qi Condensation you absorb heaven and earthâs spiritual qi into your own body, allowing you to use heaven and earthâs power for your own . What you cultivate is Qi .
âAt Blood Condensation you use heaven and earthâs spiritual qi to purify your blood . It allows you to strengthen your body . What you cultivate is physical power .
âQi and physical strength add together to release a great strength . However, it is only additive .
âOnce you reach Muscle Rebirth, your musclesâ physical strength explodes and Qi nourishes your spirit . Your Qi and physical body merge together perfectly .
âBut at Muscle Rebirth, the might produced by Qi and body is no longer additive, but multiplicative . If Blood Condensationâs combat level is ten plus ten, then Muscle Rebirthâs combat level is ten times time . â
Long Chenâs core was shaken greatly . He knew Ying Hou wasnât telling them this to be nice .
He was telling them just how great the difference between them was in order to make them give up and despair .
Although he knew that, Long Chenâs heart was still horrified . If what he said was really true, then they really wouldnât stand a chance .
And even ignoring his power, just Ying Houâs strange movements and his speed which was fast as lightning were enough to shock him .
This was an absolutely hopeless situation . No wonder the fourth prince dared to make this scheme . Long Chen was to kill Xia Changfeng, and then Ying Hou would then kill him . Everything would return to normal after that . It was truly a deep scheme .
Aman obviously wasnât thinking as much as Long Chen . He only glared straight at Ying Hou . âBrother Long, what is he saying? Additive and multiplicative? Whatâs Qi Condensation and Blood Condensation?â
âDonât bother with what he says . Remember what I told you just now,â quietly replied Long Chen .
Ying Hou indifferently looked at Long Chen . âWhat? You really still want to struggle at this point? Do you doubt what I just said?â
Long Chen raised his sword at him and sneered, âYouâre wearing a photographic jade on your chest . You want to take a picture of my despair before death for my father, right?â
He had been too nervous before . But now he noticed there was a strange jade on his chest .
That jade had many curving lines on it . Although Long Chen had never studied Inscription Arts, he had heard of photographic jades .
The inscriptions on them could record images for a short time . Long Chen had obviously correctly guessed Ying Houâs intentions .
âHaha, I really never expected to be seen through be you . How boring . â Ying Hou lightly stroked the jade . âI really did want to send the full image as the gift . First Iâll send your head to him . Then Iâll show him the image of your deathbed struggle . Only then can I relieve the hatred Iâve repressed for so many years . â
Long Chen laughed, âWhat a shady move . You really are a contemptible little man . A half man half woman sissy . You only use these disdainful moves . My father could sever your finger; today Iâll sever your head . â
He suddenly stamped his foot . Even the land trembled with him as his shot forward like a wild gale, slashing his sword at Ying Hou .
âHmph, ignorant kid, today Iâll let you see just how terrifying it is when Qi merges with your body . â
Ying Hou coldly snorted and his robes began to float without any wind . Green veins began to bulge on his skin like many swimming snakes .
That was a specific attribute of the Muscle Rebirth realm . When his entire body was covered in green veins, his aura suddenly exploded and a terrifying energy shot out everywhere . The space around was even twisted and warped .
Seeing this, Long Chen ground his teeth . No matter how powerful Ying Hou was, he had to do his utmost to fight . Otherwise he definitely wouldnât have a good burial .
He was afraid of death . If he really did die, what would happen to his mother? What would happen to Chu Yao? What about his arrangement with Meng Qi?
He couldnât die . But only by going all out and risking his life would there even be the slightest chance of him surviving . His entire energy gathered into the broadsword .
Long Chen placed aside his fear and bravely charged into the face of death . Even without his urging, his FengFu Star slowly began to circulate on its own .
After it had only half circulated it seemed as if some sort of energy was lacking and it slowly returned to calm .
âDie!â
He courageously charged forward; his sword shook the sky as he used his full force to bring it slashing down .
