Chapter 856: Continuous Force Air Strike
Chapter 856: Continuous Force Air Strike
Qi Hui Shi watched as Chen Chuan's fist came towards him. At this moment, he was the initiator of the offense, and he was confident that he could strike Chen Chuan first. If this strike infused enough Spiritual Flame and dealt a sufficient blow to Chen Chuan, then even if Chen Chuan's fist hit him, it might not cause much damage.
Without hesitation, he prepared to execute his plan, but just as he gathered his Spiritual Flame, he saw the Spiritual Flame on Chen Chuan's fist flicker and seemed to surge outwards. His heart skipped a beat.
It was clear that a Spirit Impact was about to be unleashed. His mind raced, knowing that if this happened, Chen Chuan's attack would be immensely powerful. If he continued to clash with Chen Chuan, it might not be advantageous, and the most likely outcome would be mutual injury. He might not have the same foundation as his opponent, and if he couldn't match Chen Chuan, he would be at a disadvantage.
This realization immediately changed his approach. He took a step back, and his body gracefully drifted to one side. As he retreated, he restrained the Spiritual Flame he had intended to unleash, creating a brief interruption in his continuous offensive rhythm, which usually provided an opportunity for his opponent.
However, it didn't matter. Chen Chuan, too, would find it challenging to halt his attack, and Qi Hui Shi still had a chance to resume his previous offensive. As long as he could suppress Chen Chuan, he would find weaknesses and opportunities.
But the situation unfolded differently than he had anticipated. The light on Chen Chuan's fist suddenly dimmed, and Qi Hui Shi's pupils constricted. Spirit Impact usually required prior preparation, and it was rare to launch it in haste. He never expected Chen Chuan, after two clashes, to unleash such an attack so swiftly.
The Spirit Impact was fast and fierce, and at such close range, it was impossible to dodge. Qi Hui Shi was forced to gather his remaining Spiritual Flame in one place, pushing his hands outward to block the incoming surge of light.
The light propelled him backward, creating a hundred-meter-wide chasm between them, and with a final blast, it shattered.
At this moment, Qi Hui Shi's body noticeably dimmed, and he was slightly breathless. However, twelve black beads floated around him, each glowing with Spiritual Flame.
These were Air Travel Beads, unique to Martial Artists, which, in conjunction with their spirit and domain, could fly in the air and possess powerful penetration abilities. Qi Hui Shi had no choice but to release them to prevent Chen Chuan from taking advantage of the situation.
Although Qi Hui Shi had responded appropriately and avoided harm, it had cost him a significant amount of Spiritual Flame. Strategically, he hadn't lost, but if the battle dragged on, Chen Chuan could exhaust him through sheer endurance. Qi Hui Shi had no choice but to use weapons.
He looked at Chen Chuan, standing calmly, and said, "Director Chen, I apologize, but I must use weapons."
Chen Chuan glanced at him and replied, "Mr. Qi, before our sparring, we didn't agree not to use weapons. You don't need to apologize."
Above the airship of Yuanan Corporation, although the crowd couldn't see the specific details of the battle between the two, the current scene was understandable.
The assistant said, "Director, it seems like... the Director is slightly stronger?"
Director Bao nodded and said, "It appears so for now."
In fact, he was still very nervous inside. He had witnessed many battles between martial artists, and until a winner was determined, no one could draw conclusions. It was said that in a fight, the winner couldn't be decided until the very last moment. Although there were differences between martial artists, this concept seemed to apply to them as well.
Qi Hui Shi made a slight adjustment, spreading his hands open. The Air Travel Beads instantly scattered outward and landed seven or eight meters away.
With twelve Air Travel Beads, he now had twelve attack points. Combined with his own techniques, he could create numerous combination variations and launch more fierce and destructive offensives.
At this moment, he mentally pulled on the beads, and six of them, glowing faintly, suddenly shot towards Chen Chuan. These weapons contained his diverged organization, and even outside the field, they could still sense and respond to his consciousness, moving according to his will.
Chen Chuan's eyes flashed slightly, and he took a step back. With a few hisses, deep pits suddenly appeared on the ground. Then, he retreated again, and the beads emerged from the tree trunk where he had been standing.
Before these beads could continue their attack, Chen Chuan's figure suddenly disappeared from his original position. When he reappeared, he was already beside a large tree. He kicked off the ground and the thick lower half of the tree trunk flew towards Qi Hui Shi. Without stopping, he continuously kicked, causing the broken tree trunks to fall one after another towards Qi Hui Shi's location.
Qi Hui Shi spread his hands and batted away the tree trunks. Although his vision was blocked by the trees, martial artists didn't solely rely on sight. They keenly sensed each other's auras and fields. However, in that instant, Qi Hui Shi suddenly realized that Chen Chuan had disappeared from his perception.
"This is..."
His heart jolted with surprise. He couldn't see Chen Chuan, but he saw another tree trunk flying towards him. His gaze sharpened, and the two Air Travel Beads that had been hovering outside suddenly shot towards the tree trunk, while two more beads circled around and struck from the sides.
This was because Qi Hui Shi, relying on his keen intuition, judged that Chen Chuan might be hiding behind the tree trunk, using it as cover to advance towards him!
Indeed, Chen Chuan was using the tree trunk as cover, and he was certain that until his opponent confirmed his true position, they wouldn't dare to use all the Air Travel Beads at once. This gave Qi Hui Shi the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
Facing the two incoming beads, Qi Hui Shi punched out, hitting one of them directly. Then, he raised his elbow to deflect the other bead. With a swift spin, he gathered a spiritual light in his hand and, as he turned to face Qi Hui Shi, he threw it towards him!
Qi Hui Shi wanted to charge forward, using the Air Travel Beads to launch an offensive against Chen Chuan. However, facing the incoming spiritual impact, he was forced to stop and block the spiritual impact once more. He forcefully guided his spirit, and the two beads that had circled to the sides were now behind him, attacking from Chen Chuan's direction. The two beads remaining by his side also flew towards Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan's eyes flashed slightly, and in an instant, he stepped to the side. Using his own movement, he forcefully altered the timing of the beads that were originally aimed at his body. Then, in quick succession, he unleashed four powerful blows, each hitting the surface of the beads. With each contact, the spiritual flame on the beads was extinguished, rendering them unable to threaten him for a short time.
Then, with a kick, he charged towards Qi Hui Shi. The latter had just dispersed the spiritual impact, and his eyes flickered. Facing the fist that was rapidly growing in his vision, Qi Hui Shi raised his arms, summoning the spiritual flame to block this strike and stop Chen Chuan's momentum.
However, as Chen Chuan's fist reached his face, it suddenly transformed into a grab, seizing Qi Hui Shi's arm. The loose hand force instantly changed into a capture force, and the spiritual flame also transformed accordingly.
This sudden change in technique was extremely abrupt. Qi Hui Shi's body hadn't adjusted to the spiritual flame, and the flame on his arm was instantly extinguished. Simultaneously, a force penetrated his arm and into his body.
Almost at the same time, the beads that had been far behind him flew back, striking Chen Chuan's body. This was Qi Hui Shi's intended killing move—to block Chen Chuan and then, at that precise moment, attack with the beads. Even if he couldn't severely cripple Chen Chuan, it would force him into a passive position.
However, as Chen Chuan was seized, the light on the beads quickly faded, leaving only a fraction of their power, which was insufficient to break through Chen Chuan's spiritual flame. The beads fell to the ground one by one.
At this moment, Chen Chuan lifted his hand and picked up the paralyzed Qi Hui Shi, slamming him onto the ground. A shockwave rippled through the ground, and a massive pillar of dust rose from where the two of them stood.
