Chapter 833: Rising Power, Crushing Fist
Chapter 833: Rising Power, Crushing Fist
Chen Chuan gazed ahead, and standing there was a tall, slender man with pale skin, a long forehead, and a long chin, his hair tied in loose braids at the back.
This man had a delicate air about his limbs, and he wore a traditional Besa Khanate long robe that exposed his arms. He had large golden earrings on his ears, and his hair was dyed white. On his back, he carried a massive silver ring.
Judging by his appearance alone, he didn't seem like a pure Besa Khan, but rather a mixed-blood.
From the previous conversation between the two, it could be inferred that this man was likely the other Besa Khan fighter, Sai Bayar, who favored the Norland side.
If this person had succeeded earlier, the incident might have been portrayed as the Central City fighter from Great Shun killing Tamur. If this news spread internationally and was further incited, the man before him could stand on the side of righteousness and return to Barkut, potentially altering the entire situation could change.
Furthermore, from the previous conversation, this man might even gain power by killing Tamur, making the situation even more unpredictable.
At this moment, Sai Bayar turned around, his eyes filled with apprehension as he looked at Chen Chuan.
What surprised him was that he had clearly seen Chen Chuan leave earlier, but now he had returned. He guessed that Chen Chuan must have sensed his presence, and this thought made his heart race.
His expression became solemn, and he slowly backed away a few steps, seeking a position advantageous to himself. Naturally, a glow began to emanate from his body.
Earlier, Chen Chuan and Tamur had determined the victor in an instant, with the latter appearing to have no chance to fight back. Sai Bayar's strength was not too far off from Tamur's, so in a normal fight, he wouldn't be a match either.
But there was still a chance.
The previous strike of spiritual flame from Chen Chuan must have consumed a significant amount of his energy. At this moment, he might not have much energy left, so Sai Bayar needed to stabilize himself and prolong the battle, avoiding short, intense bursts of combat.
As he retreated, a large amount of smoke emerged from his body, enveloping him entirely. In just a breath, the smoke dissipated.
Standing there now was a woman at least six or seven meters tall. She had brown eagle feathers on her back, and her lower body was covered in snow-white wolf fur, while her upper body retained a human form. However, her head had two faces on each side, one scowling and the other smiling gently.
The silver ring that was originally on her back was now held in her hand, and a soft, ethereal green light emanated from her body.
This alternate form was the legendary Vira Devi of the Besa Khanate.
Chen Chuan wasn't surprised by this transformation because alternate forms didn't have strict gender distinctions. The transformation could be influenced by one's own will, and this could, in turn, affect the self. So, if one remained in the form of Vira Devi for an extended period, they might genuinely transform into a true female.
Of course, many fighters might not care about this, as they pursued higher levels of life transformation. The divine form could eventually even discard the physical body, and changing bodies was not an issue. It was even less of a concern for a simple transformation, as both the alternate and divine forms guarded the consciousness, not the original self. Only the human form truly guarded the original self.
At this moment, a unique sound emanated from the left side of Sai Bayar's face.
On the right side of his face, colorful smoke billowed out, slowly spreading through the air towards Chen Chuan, accompanied by a crisp, crackling sound.
The white aura surrounding Chen Chuan flickered under the influence of the sound, indicating that it had an attacking effect, and the smoke was clearly not ordinary.
Chen Chuan's eyes narrowed, and he reached out to slap the broken wall beside him. With a loud bang, countless fragments of stone exploded, each one carrying the spiritual flame, and they shot towards Sai Bayar.
Sai Bayar raised the silver ring to block, but to his surprise, the spiritual flame on the fragments was highly concentrated and had strong penetrating power. Each collision weakened the spiritual energy emanating from the surface, causing the silver ring to vibrate with a buzzing sound.
He couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. He hadn't expected the spiritual energy to be so concentrated, indicating that Chen Chuan hadn't consumed too much energy. It seemed that Chen Chuan might still be capable of such concentrated spiritual flame attacks. At this realization, he dared not continue to deplete his energy, and even though he knew that close combat might be disadvantageous, he had no choice but to rush forward. He had to pressure Chen Chuan and not give him the opportunity to gather his strength.
The best option would be to retreat, but based on Chen Chuan's speed and throwing ability demonstrated earlier, Sai Bayar knew he had almost no chance of escaping. So, he made a decisive decision to engage in a direct confrontation.
With a graceful spinning motion, he whirled in place, sending the silver ring flying towards Chen Chuan!
Chen Chuan didn't dodge; instead, he swung his arm outward, and with a bang, he knocked the ring back. At that moment, Sai Bayar had already rushed forward and caught the rebounding ring, using the momentum to slam it towards Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan watched as the silver ring above him grew larger, its green glow shimmering like a massive fire wheel. He still didn't retreat, instead kicking upwards!
With a boom, the spiritual energy from his foot collided with the fire wheel, and as he struck, a bright light flashed from his body.
Chen Chuan directly utilized the power of the Grand Bright Style, causing the Spiritual Flame on the Silver Ring to seem like it was being melted away at an incredibly fast pace. The subsequent force then penetrated the Silver Ring.
Sai Bayar had gathered all his strength to strike down on the Silver Ring, but the impact and point of contact differed from his initial prediction. Chen Chuan's kick not only shattered the protection of the Spiritual Flame but also landed before Sai Bayar could fully exert his strength.
As the force transmitted through the Silver Ring to his body, it momentarily hindered his movements, forcing him to instinctively adjust and resist.
Without pausing, Chen Chuan disrupted his opponent's attack rhythm with one kick, then, as he lowered his foot, he leaped forward, elbow first, and collided with Sai Bayar like a bullet.
The Spiritual Flame in Sai Bayar's abdomen rapidly dissipated under the elbow strike. Although the Spiritual Flame on his body quickly converged there, intending to block the attack, the earlier adjustment had disrupted his combat rhythm, and he couldn't keep up. The Spiritual Flame that rushed in wasn't fast enough to dissipate, and eventually, a small amount of force penetrated, causing his massive body to be lifted by the powerful strike.
Chen Chuan, taking advantage of the upward momentum, transformed his fists into afterimages and continuously struck that spot. Each punch wasn't particularly powerful, but the speed was astonishingly fast, creating a continuous series of thunderous booms. Sai Bayar's body trembled and ascended under the relentless blows.
Sai Bayar felt he could withstand the attacks, and the pulsating Spiritual Flame kept filling the gaps in his abdomen caused by the strikes. But each time it was replenished, it was swiftly shattered again, forcing him to repeatedly undergo this process without being able to stop during the assault.
As a result, his life force was continuously depleted by Chen Chuan's ordinary-looking offense. As they were about to reach the climax of their momentum, at the highest point, Chen Chuan bent his elbow, with the edge of his palm facing outward, and struck towards his throat, which was almost devoid of Spiritual Flame protection. With a loud 'Bang,' Sai Bayar's neck bulged outward, and the remaining blue light scattered.
At that moment, Chen Chuan, utilizing the last bit of upward momentum, leaped above Sai Bayar, adjusted his position, and kicked downward. Sai Bayar's massive body accelerated its descent, and a large pit exploded on the ground, with sand and dust billowing outward.
Chen Chuan allowed his body to fall freely and eventually landed steadily on the ground. He slowly walked forward.
As he approached the edge of the pit, a massive figure suddenly emerged from the dust that had not been blown away by the wind.
He looked up, his gaze calm and serene.
After a while, the giant figure emitted a series of cracking sounds from its bones, followed by strands of white-gold light bursting out from beneath its body.
Sai Bayar grunted, staggered forward a few steps, and tried to grab Chen Chuan, but he failed. After a few futile attempts, he fell forward with a loud thud, hitting the ground. Wisps of mist rose from beneath him, and his body quickly reverted to its original form.
The white-gold aura on Chen Chuan's body gradually subsided. This time, defeating Sai Bayar didn't consume as much of his energy as his previous battle with Tamur. After the initial strike using the Grand Bright Style, every subsequent attack used speed and strength comparable to his opponent's.
Initially, he was unaware of the strength of these Besa Khanate fighters, so he couldn't hold back at the beginning. However, after gaining some understanding, he could employ less exhausting techniques, as his body's energy reserves were plentiful, but there was no need to waste them.
At this moment, Sai Bayar, lying on the ground, let out a deep, despondent laugh. His internal organs were severely damaged, but he hadn't lost consciousness.
"It's a pity. This time, Great Harmony Republic wins again. It seems no matter how hard we try, it's difficult for our nation to break free from Great Harmony Republic's control."
Chen Chuan glanced at him, "I've heard of you. It's said that you lean more towards the Norlanders. If you succeed, isn't it just replacing one controlling nation with another?"
