Chapter 523 - One Against Two

Chen Feng laughed. This was exactly what he wanted, or he would’ve needed to expend more energy to deal with Ying Shaotian.

He nodded. “Don’t worry. Jiang Cheng will not be able to escape if I use my King-tier Body Combat technique.”

The two of them entered the arena at the same time before everyone’s eyes.

Only the three of them remained in the arena once Demon General Typhoon walked off. This was the pivotal fight that revolved around Long Chen fighting against Chen Feng and Ying Shaotian at the same time.

Liu Yiyi was uncertain of what would happen. “Mother, what if they work together to deal with Jiang Cheng?”

The Clear Shallows King frowned. She knew how strong Long Chen was, but Chen Feng and Ying Shaotian appeared to be stronger when they worked together. Both of them were already strong on their own, so she was worried that Long Chen would not be able to handle both of them at the same time.

“It’s fine. Don’t underestimate Jiang Cheng. Since he has the courage to fight, that means he has a plan. Even if he can’t win, I will make sure they don’t kill him.” The Clear Shallows King would save Long Chen at the critical moment.

What was once a relationship based on profit had turned into a friendship thanks to Liu Yiyi’s help. But Long Chen never seriously thought of himself as a disciple of the Clear Shallows King.

With the Clear Shallows King guaranteeing his safety, Liu Yiyi calmed down a little, but tears started to pool in her eyes because she knew Long Chen was fighting for them.

In reality, Long Chen was doing it for himself ...

He wouldn’t be helping them if he had nothing to gain; the Emperor Flame Pearl was very important to him.

The crowd knew what was going on since even Liu Yiyi could tell that Chen Feng and Ying Shaotian were planning to gang up on Long Chen.

“Are they kidding? Will they really fight Jiang Cheng together? Isn’t that unfair?”

“But that’s part of the rules. It’s just coincidental that Chen Feng and Ying Shaotian are on friendly terms. Jiang Cheng’s luck has been good, but this is the end for him. No matter how he got there, one needs true strength to become the champion.”

“I don’t think it’s fair. What if Jiang Cheng is slightly stronger than Chen Feng? Isn’t it a waste if he loses because of the rules?”

“Are you kidding me? Do you really think he’s stronger than Chen Feng?”

“Hmm ... That’s true. Let’s just see how it pans out. These are the rules, and there’s nothing we can do.”

Those were indeed the rules. If Long Chen could thrive using the rules, he could accidentally die because of them too.

But no matter what everyone said, Long Chen kept calm.

He needed to be calm to win.

Long Chen was much more experienced in battle, so he was far more composed than the others. Chen Feng had his fair share of battles, but Ying Shaotian appeared to be lacking. This made it easy to decide who Long Chen would target first.

He needed to beat one of them as quickly as possible in order to obtain victory. It wouldn’t be easy.

“How long do you think Jiang Cheng will last?”

“Five breaths. No more than that.”

“I think he can last ten breaths. It will be a miracle if he survives more than that.”

Everyone started placing their bets left and right.

Demon General Typhoon saw that the time was right and officially announced the start of the battle!

Everyone watched the arena closely with unblinking eyes. The final battle would be the most interesting fight of them all.

Even Jiang Wushang was very interested in the final battle. He didn’t know who would become the champion, so he found it very interesting.

Everyone’s gazes were trained on the three disciples on the arena.

Chen Feng and Ying Shaotian looked at each other and smiled. “Brother Ying, let’s see who kills him first.”

“Sure,” Ying Shaotian whispered.

Both of them instantly disappeared from the spot and pounced towards Long Chen. Even though Ying Shaotian was weaker, he was by no means a pushover.

Long Chen had long prepared himself. The Demon Emperor Sword appeared in his hand and he transformed while everyone was watching him. He had a King-tier Body Tempering technique, so his body became even more robust after transforming. His Qi was also steadily increasing as he transformed. He now had more Qi than Ying Shaotian!

Hiss!

Two wisps of steam shot out of his nostrils.

His body contained an enormous amount of power, waiting to be unleashed.

“Chen Feng, let’s attack him now! Wind Riding Sword Finger!” Ying Shaotian attacked first even though he was slower than Chen Feng. A ray of Sword Qi flew towards Long Chen while Chen Feng used his incredible speed to approach Long Chen and punch him.

“Tiger Impact Fist!” A beast’s howl came from his fist. The force behind his punch was equal to an entire charging army, making Ying Shaotian’s Wind Riding Sword Finger look weak.

While both were targeting Long Chen, both of them remained wary of each other.

Both techniques were advanced Heaven-tier techniques. Long Chen’s strongest technique was the Heaven Sword Array, but he had decided not to use it for now because there wasn't a need to do so.

He relied on his physical strength and charged forward.

He avoided Chen Feng’s Tiger Impact Fist with a slight hop forward and crashed into Ying Shaotian’s Wind Riding Sword Finger.

But Long Chen wasn’t looking to die. Even though the Wind Riding Sword Finger looked dangerous, its attack radius was actually quite small, so Long Chen wasn’t even hit by the main attack when he ducked into the whirlwind. The surrounding wind still cut him, but those were just shallow wounds.

Long Chen swung his sword and launched three separate Supreme Demon Swords to push Ying Shaotian away. The attacks weren’t strong, but they would hurt if Ying Shaotian got hit.

Ying Shaotian had no choice but to dodge. Their encirclement was broken down just like that. Chen Feng was still behind Long Chen while Ying Shaotian was being pushed back.

“He’s bold, but why is he separating them? Chen Feng could catch him easily.” Jiang Wushang frowned and was confused by what Long Chen was doing. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Several breaths had passed since the start of the battle.

Everyone had thought Long Chen would fall fairly quickly, so they were surprised by what was unfolding.

“Idiot. Are you thinking of separating me from Chen Feng? What’s next?” Ying Shaotian laughed haughtily. As far as he was aware, Long Chen only knew how to hide and run, so he assumed Long Chen was weak.

It was true. Chen Feng was not stupid and he could easily close the gap again to surround Long Chen. It would be even easier this time since Long Chen’s back was exposed to Chen Feng now.

“Is that so?” Long Chen smiled. He ignored Chen Feng and continued attacking Ying Shaotian. The Demon Emperor Sword never stopped slashing, and he pushed Ying Shaotian to the border of the arena. Ying Shaotian was confused and intrigued by what Long Chen was doing, so he didn’t stop him.

Chen Feng was now closing in on Long Chen’s back!

“Haha! Brother Ying, he turned his back to me. Don’t blame me for killing him first!” Chen Feng didn’t know what Long Chen was doing, but he started laughing happily as he ran towards Long Chen’s back. With his speed, he instantly got close and launched another attack. This time, Long Chen would die if he got hit by it.

But why had Long Chen not turned around to deal with Chen Feng? Did he really have a death wish?

Everyone was craning their necks to see what would happen next.

“Mother, I think I know what he's doing! He’s tricking everyone!” Liu Yiyi was both surprised and happy when she saw what was happening.

As soon as she said that, a black shadow came out of Long Chen’s body and shot towards Chen Feng. The shadow blocked Chen Feng and saved Long Chen!

“Demonic Illusion!” everyone shouted in unison. The crowd knew what that was. Everyone was shocked when they saw that Long Chen had the True Martial Demon Body, but he had used the Demonic Illusion now! Even the grand elders and Jiang Wushang were shocked.

He had cultivated two King-tier techniques in a month!

And he had advanced from the First Passage Stage to the Seventh Passage Stage in a month!

This was not the progression of a genius, but a monster! Only monsters could accomplish that!

Long Chen’s Demonic Illusion was more than enough to shock everyone in the crowd.

But he didn’t want to just surprise them—he wanted to defeat Ying Shaotian. He had been holding back to let Ying Shaotian drop his guard. Ying Shaotian thought Chen Feng was going to kill Long Chen, but at the last possible moment, the Demonic Illusion had stopped Chen Feng!

“That’s ... the Clear Shallows King’s Demonic Illusion!” Ying Shaotian’s eyes were wide with shock.

At the same time, Long Chen appeared right in front of him.

“Die!” Long Chen enveloped Ying Shaotian with the Blood Devouring Domain and used the Heaven Sword Array at the same time!

“What is this?!” It was the first time Ying Shaotian had seen the Blood Devouring Domain. The blood-red mist and the strong suction forced him to use almost half of his Qi to stabilize his blood. Long Chen’s attack hit him at the same time as the domain came down from above.

Everyone was shocked by the sudden turnaround!
