Chapter 815: The Fist Hammer Scatters the Divine Form
Chapter 815: The Fist Hammer Scatters the Divine Form
As the radiant light emerged, Chen Chuan instantly sensed a resemblance between this power and the Grand Solar Day he had encountered before.
Under the radiant glow, the Spiritual Flame flickered rapidly, causing significant interference with the mental power, making it impossible to pinpoint the exact location of the Moon Cry Hermitage at this moment.
Although this person's direct confrontation was not as formidable as his own, their use of this method effectively concealed their weaknesses.
However, Chen Chuan knew that this situation couldn't be sustained indefinitely. During this period, the opponent would surely seize the opportunity to take action.
Finding a breakthrough from him was unlikely, as the opponent had already tried both long-range and close-quarters combat. Therefore, just like before, the most probable target was Hu Kan.
The Moon Cry Hermitage indeed had this idea. With Chen Chuan's horizontally trained strength, his power, and speed, he posed a significant challenge to them. In contrast, Hu Kan presented a vulnerable opening.
Previously, Chen Chuan's use of the Duplicate Blade was intended to stall him. Many of the fighter's moves required corresponding speed and strength. Even the slightest influence or delay could completely change the situation.
As soon as the light appeared, Chen Chuan acted immediately, undoubtedly taking the initiative. At that moment, he seized the cover of the light, instantly reaching Hu Kan's side and silently delivering another slash towards him.
Hu Kan seemed to be affected by the light, oblivious to the outside situation. This time, he couldn't dodge and was directly struck by the long blade imbued with the Spiritual Flame.
However, after tearing through the Spiritual Flame, the blade that should have sliced through his sturdy body failed to have any effect. Instead, it produced a clear clanging sound, as if it had struck an extremely hard object made of pure steel.
The secret technique "Golden Armor Body"!
This technique highly concentrates the Spiritual Flame within, creating a tactical deception. However, if this secret technique is not practiced to a pure level, it significantly hinders one's movements. When used for defense, it becomes impossible to attack, making it very passive in combat. Since others can strike you once, they can strike again. Therefore, he usually doesn't use it.
But now, things are different! He has teammates! If the Moon Cry Hermitage attacks him, there will surely be a commotion, and that's when Chen Chuan will seize the opportunity to strike.
Indeed, at that moment, an extremely intense air pressure struck one side of his body, causing him to gasp for breath. Then, in front of him, a deafening explosion erupted, and the concealing light instantly dissipated.
Simultaneously, his spirit sensed the presence of the Moon Cry Hermitage. Trusting his instincts, he spun around, and with a single swing, he hurled a large hammer towards a specific direction!
The Moon Cry Hermitage knew something was wrong when their first strike failed. They immediately used one of the Tranquil Dawn Pavilion's Triple Body Techniques, the "Embracing Illusion Body," causing their body to curl up into a ball in an instant.
Almost simultaneously with this action, a fist slammed heavily into their body, causing the Spiritual Flame to flicker and nearly extinguish. However, with the secret technique's power, he deflected some of the force and, using that momentum, flew backward.
At that moment, a hammer radiating light suddenly flew in from an oblique angle, slamming into his shoulder with a loud bang. The last remaining traces of the Spiritual Flame on his body instantly scattered.
Chen Chuan, as if in sync with Hu Kan, seized this momentary opening and delivered a punch!
With a boom, the head of this body was shattered by the punch. Under the impact of the Spiritual Flame, the entire shell instantly tore apart, followed by an explosion that scattered debris everywhere.
Chen Chuan's eyes moved slightly, and this time, he could clearly sense that the Moon Cry Hermitage had escaped first. Therefore, he had only struck an empty shell, and after delivering the punch, he didn't stop. With a light tap of his toes, he rushed towards a specific location.
Chen Chuan deduced that the place where the Moon Cry Hermitage had gone was where the other body, which had moved earlier and been attacked by him, was located.
The power of the Divine Form lies in its ability to sustain combat as long as the spiritual power doesn't run out, provided there's a suitable host body. This makes it extremely difficult to deal with. However, each time the spirit detaches and re-forms, it incurs a massive expenditure of energy. Therefore, he must seize the opportunity to quickly destroy this body.
In an instant, he traversed a hundred meters, and with the Spiritual Flame concentrated in his foot, he delivered a kick with a loud bang to the waist of the towering figure. A massive gap instantly appeared there, leaving only a small part still connected.
But it wasn't just him. Hu Kan also simultaneously realized this possibility, so he leaped and tightly gripped the remaining hammer. With a downward swing, he shouted, "Die, you bastard!"
A muffled sound rang out as the hammer struck, and the head instantly caved in, sinking into the chest.
With their combined assault, the body was almost instantly destroyed. At that moment, a half-illusory, half-real blade-wielding figure burst out from within, shrouded in mystery, and for the third time, they slashed towards Hu Kan, who was directly in front of them.
The Moon Cry Hermitage, after having multiple host bodies destroyed and their spiritual power significantly weakened, knew that even if they found another suitable body, they wouldn't have the opportunity to mobilize it for another battle. So, they abandoned this idea and resorted to a desperate counterattack.
The strike was called "Soul Sacrifice Slash," where one's entire spiritual power was transformed into a solid blade, slicing towards the opponent. If this strike landed and caused damage, it would then penetrate the opponent's body, merging with their spirit, allowing them to continue living in a different form.
After witnessing this, Chen Chuan's eyes flashed with determination, and he unleashed a powerful Soul-Shattering Hammer.
The White Apex Realm's Dharma Gate technique was something he had learned during his third limit, but that didn't mean he couldn't use it now. His spiritual power was as formidable as his physical body, and with this strike, it was as if a true hammer had smashed into the illusory shadow.
When Hu Kan first saw the shadow of Moon Cry Hermitage rushing towards him, he had already unleashed his twin hammers, but they were not fast enough. So, he quickly gathered his remaining spiritual flame as a defense, though he wasn't sure about the details of this move. He mentally prepared for the worst-case scenario.
In his line of sight, the transparent silhouette of a sword-wielding figure easily pierced through the outermost bio field. The tip of the blade drew closer and closer to his forehead, causing him to squint involuntarily.
Suddenly, it seemed like the figure was hit by something, and a layer of ripples resembling water waves appeared on its body, causing a significant distortion. Especially the face that had resembled Moon Cry Hermitage distorted, and strands of transparent mist scattered outwards.
At this moment, he heard a frustrated roar, and the transparent figure remained determined, moving towards him. A sword slashed across his body.
However, this slash couldn't break through the thin layer of spiritual flame. Instead, it gradually melted away as it approached, and when it finally reached him, the entire figure collided with him. But there was no impact force as he had imagined; it was like a strong wind brushing past, causing his loose hair to flutter.
A moment later, he fell to the ground with a loud thud, kicking up a cloud of dust that swirled around in the field's effect.
Only then did the shattered remains of the first body Chen Chuan had defeated fall to the ground behind them. The tall, broken figure beside them wobbled and helplessly toppled forward, crashing to the ground with a loud rumble. Dust rose, obscuring their vision.
Hu Kan took a few breaths, looking at the faint silhouette of Chen Chuan through the dust. He gave a thumbs-up to Chen Chuan, "Little brother, you're the man! I'm impressed!"
Chen Chuan nodded in response, "It's thanks to Elder Hu's excellent cooperation. If you weren't holding them off at the front, I wouldn't have had such an easy time hitting him."
In the 619th chapter of the 19th Book, 1st Look, No Mistake Version!
Chen Chuan didn't show false modesty. The Soul-Shattering Hammer technique wasn't particularly skillful, but if it weren't for his accurate prediction of what Moon Cry Hermitage was about to do, it would have been difficult to land the strike. And earlier, Hu Kan had attracted most of the opponent's attacks.
Hu Kan also felt a bit aggrieved. The one whose head was chopped off wasn't Moon Cry Hermitage, and he was the one who suffered! Why was this old guy, Moon Cry Hermitage, acting like they had a deep grudge and insisting on a death match here?
Chen Chuan discerned the surroundings; there were no more spiritual remnants, confirming that Moon Cry Hermitage had indeed vanished.
It was indeed challenging to defeat someone who had mastered the Divine Form. Even if one lost, with sufficient preparation beforehand, one could find an opportunity to escape and try again in the future.
In the old era, it was easier to say. Those who mastered the Divine Form were scarce, and the path was difficult to cultivate. Moreover, finding a suitable vessel for possession was challenging. But now, things were different. He had heard from Director Wu that suitable vessels could be created for those who walked this path, and as a result, the number of people taking this path had increased significantly.
Take the Fusion Sect, for example; there must be many fighters skilled in this path.
In that case, the Great Bright Light Style needed to be practiced diligently. Besides tempering one's spiritual power, it could also be used to attack the spirit in direct combat.
At this time, Hu Kan had already recovered. He walked to the other side, picked up the hammer, and said, "Little brother Chen, let's get out of here too. Who knows who might be waiting for our news outside."
Chen Chuan agreed and walked towards the pile of flesh, retrieving the horseman's blade from within. He shook his wrist, causing the remaining fragments to fall off, and then he carried it behind him.
Hu Kan slung the hammer over his shoulder and looked at the remaining tall figures on the earth wall. Suddenly, he felt a surge of emotion. "Speaking of which, the successor of Tranquil Dawn Pavilion, An Yao, was quite capable. If Moon Cry Hermitage had a fraction of the skills of the Great Dharmabody Master, today's fight wouldn't have been so easy."
Chen Chuan had heard many rumors about the Great Dharmabody Master at Single Flow Pavilion. He looked at the light behind the earth wall and said, "Speaking of the Great Dharmabody Master, it's said that he ventured deep into the rift."
Hu Kan said, "Who knows? Maybe the old master felt like he could teach something to the beings on the other side?"
Chen Chuan gazed at the bright sky and said, "If one has the power, it's not impossible. Elder Hu, let's head back."
