Chapter 1113: Slashing Through Obstinate Flesh
Chapter 1113: Slashing Through Obstinate Flesh
In the Baiyan Hall of the Baiyan Long Hall, on the field screen in front of Ryan, the originally intermittent picture suddenly turned into a white light when Chen Chuan burst out with spiritual impact.
Ryan frowned and asked, "Alura, what's going on?"
Alura said, "High-intensity energy burst was detected, exceeding the information carrying limit. The field information is stabilizing due to the conflict of two energies, and the originally planned three minutes of adjustment time has been shortened to two minutes and twenty seconds."
Lyle looked at the screen in front of him, which was almost completely blurred. So, is this a good thing?
In the bamboo forest, Luo Xiao, upon seeing the spiritual flame bursting from Chen Chuan's knife, immediately jumped to the side to dodge.
After Chen Chuan slashed his knife, he followed the spiritual impact and leaped up. This move was similar to Luo Xiao's previous move, but it was unlikely that a regular opponent would think of it.
This is because when the spiritual impact is emitted, the energy is highly concentrated, and the divergent tissue needs to undergo a concentration process, which also involves most of the divergent tissue in the body. Therefore, after the momentary burst, there is usually a temporary pause.
Even for him, when emitting spiritual impact, there is no way to avoid this process. However, his divergent tissue, whether in terms of endurance or robustness, is far superior to ordinary fighters. Therefore, even without using the second self, he doesn't need any adjustment and can directly follow up.
During the rapid advance, he also saw Luo Xiao dodge, and his eyes flashed slightly.
But the opponent didn't choose to do so, which undoubtedly reveals a possibility.
In a moment of thought, he had already rushed to Luo Xiao's vicinity. He waved his hands, and a round of knife light flashed.
After Chen Chuan saw this, he said to himself that the opponent is indeed a fighter from the old era. Relying on self-combat awareness, he made the most correct decision at this moment. If there wasn't this step, the battle might have ended directly the next moment.
But even with this choice, it only prolongs the battle a little, and there is no essential change.
As he had expected, this thing is indeed very strong in frontal attacks, but it can't withstand high-energy spiritual impact.
Chen Chuan, of course, wouldn't miss this opportunity. He reached out and grabbed the Xuejun Knife, which returned to his hand. At the same time, he stepped forward and appeared in front of Luo Xiao, slashing at him with a simple and unadorned knife.
The Xuejun Knife in Chen Chuan's hand was now razor-sharp, slicing through the blazing Soul Fire on Luo Xiao's body. With a single strike, the knife cut into his shoulder and continued its path, splitting open his chest and abdomen. Just as it seemed Chen Chuan was about to split him in two, a sudden resistance blocked the blade.
To his surprise, Luo Xiao's body contained layer upon layer of Soul Fire within! This phenomenon was common among Eternal View martial artists who had reached advanced stages, as the Divergent Tissue gradually activated, providing multiple layers of Soul Fire to protect the body, both inside and out. There was another situation where this occurred, and that was with Demon Ghosts.
Due to their high level of mutation, the Divergent Tissue of these beings could possess this multi-layered Soul Fire defense. And in Luo Xiao's case, it was evident that he fell into the latter category.
Despite his severe injuries, Luo Xiao was not going down without a fight. With the knife in his left hand, he slashed towards Chen Chuan, attempting to halt his opponent's attacks.
At this moment, Chen Chuan could have chosen to withstand the blow and then strike back with a killing blow. However, as he looked into Luo Xiao's eyes, he saw madness, malice, and a hidden power that seemed on the verge of erupting.
Instinctively, Chen Chuan judged that a direct strike might not achieve his desired outcome. Instead of attacking, he used a pushing force, sending Luo Xiao's entire body flying outward.
Chen Chuan felt that with this impact, the hidden power within Luo Xiao's body, which was about to erupt, suddenly subsided.
He didn't know the nature of this power or why it had changed, but he didn't need to understand it fully; he only needed to recognize the opportunity it presented.
With a swift leap forward, amidst the flashing light, Chen Chuan found himself in front of Luo Xiao. He grabbed the shoulder of Luo Xiao's half-severed body and began to tear it downward. Luo Xiao, realizing Chen Chuan's intention, widened his eyes in horror, "You..."
Expressionless, Chen Chuan tore through Luo Xiao's shoulder, and with a loud ripping sound, he completely ripped off the mutated half of Luo Xiao's body!
Luo Xiao's half-body, still attached to his head, wobbled and staggered backward.
Chen Chuan now noticed that near the heart of Luo Xiao's half-body, there was something like a ShardOfJade exposed through the wound, emitting a faint glow.
Holding the Xuejun Knife, Chen Chuan slowly approached Luo Xiao. After reaching his front, he turned slightly and slashed outward, sending Luo Xiao's head and a portion of his shoulder flying into the air and landing on the distant ground.
The remaining body wobbled and fell, and the ring-headed longsword in Luo Xiao's hand also dropped.
Chen Chuan stepped forward, his gaze fixed on the severed head below. Luo Xiao let out a low, hearty laugh.
"No wonder Daxun sent you. I lost this battle fair and square. I say, don't leave my body behind; don't let those Federation dogs benefit from it."
"You're thinking too much," Chen Chuan said calmly. "Nothing of yours will be left behind."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiao burst into a hearty laugh, his laughter wild and unrestrained, as if venting something, or perhaps finding some sort of liberation. There was a hint of recklessness and satisfaction in his laughter, as if he felt he had lived a fulfilling life.
After a bout of laughter, Luo Xiao said, "Young man, I have something under my Bamboo Hut. Take it with you."
Without further conversation, Chen Chuan opened his palm towards Luo Xiao. In the next instant, a flash of light rushed towards the severed head, and the fallen body was also engulfed.
When the light subsided, a large impact crater appeared on the ground, leaving behind only a ring-headed longsword and a short spear.
Chen Chuan slowly retracted his hand. This battle seemed lengthy, but if you excluded the time spent talking and facing off, the actual combat lasted only a few seconds.
After all, at this level of martial arts, if the fighters' strengths were not closely matched, the battle would not drag on for long.
During his simulated combat with Choi Hyeon Hui in the Xingchen Academy's Information Hall, Chen Chuan had deliberately avoided using his outer form. Here, he did the same, and indeed, even without using his outer form, he was able to defeat his opponent.
Chen Chuan turned back and glanced at the Bamboo Hut before heading towards it.
