Chapter 866: Pure Radiant Light Dispels Impurities
Bai Gu's eyebrows furrowed, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes. Under the intense mental stimulation, strands of dazzling white light emanated from her body, and behind her, several thin, tendril-like rays of light formed, swaying in the air for a moment before suddenly lashing forward.
In Chen Chuan's gaze, the tendrils of light magnified before his eyes, but the next moment, he slapped the tendril away with his hand, and upon impact, the spiritual light splattered outward.
He stared at the tendril of light, sensing his second self slightly dissipating, undoubtedly merging with a certain power from the opposite side.
"The Fusion Sect..."
Before the tendril of light could attack again, Chen Chuan took a step forward, stepping onto the lake's surface. Just as his opponent had done earlier, he walked on the water towards the other side, and the white-golden radiance on his body reflected in the lake, seemingly connecting with the white aura cloud rising into the sky, and he approached his opponent step by step amidst the astonished gazes of the distant crowd.
At this moment, Bai Gu said, "Young man, watch your tone. Don't be too arrogant in your speech!"
She removed a long hairpin from her bun and held it in her hand, letting her hair fall loose. Then, with a flick of her sleeve, she stirred up the entire lake surface, causing the water beneath Chen Chuan's feet to surge, lifting him upward.
However, he continued moving forward without faltering, even as the waves churned beneath his feet. Each splashing droplet of water became a stepping stone for his advance.
Bai Gu did not remain in her original position. Holding the long hairpin, she tapped her foot, and her body merged into a ray of light, charging towards Chen Chuan.
At the same time, her spiritual power manifested multiple mental projections around her, forming nearly identical streams of light that rushed towards Chen Chuan. As they weaved through the air, they alternated between reflecting and spinning, making it impossible to distinguish which was real and which was fake, or perhaps they were all real.
Chen Chuan did not dodge. Stepping on the water's surface, he charged towards one of the streams. This time, he utilized the Heaven-Earth Forge Breath Method, making his speed even faster than before.
Raising his fist, the spiritual flame on his body surged. One by one, the streams of light attacked his body, but upon colliding with the intense radiance, they shattered and dispersed. As the last stream of light approached, a large wave rose beneath his feet, and in mid-air, he spun halfway and struck down with a precise punch!
Boom!
This punch, delivered from above, sent Bai Gu plunging into the water with a resounding boom. The impact created a towering column of water, and as Chen Chuan rose with the column, he looked down and spoke calmly, "Is there a difference?"
The water column settled, and the splashing water gradually calmed. But just as the lake surface was about to return to tranquility, after a while, it began to churn and roil as if the water beneath was boiling. A white glow appeared at the lake's bottom, so bright that it was hard to keep one's eyes open.
Chen Chuan's gaze remained fixed on the scene below. At the lake's bottom, a colossal figure emerged, seemingly a woman entirely formed from light, with no discernible facial features, or perhaps none at all, only a rough outline.
Bai Gu had followed the path of the Divine Appearance, which allowed her to change bodies multiple times. However, she could also gain greater power without changing bodies. By doing so, not only would her body undergo changes to adapt to the Divine Appearance, but as she deepened her training, her body would also become a vessel for ascension.
This path required a solid foundation in the body. If it was insufficient, one would inevitably fail to reach the end. However, there were ways to compensate. By merging with external forces, such as utilizing and appropriating the power of certain entities from the opposite side to strengthen herself, it was possible to succeed.
But this fusion of power was a lengthy process, and she needed to constantly suppress herself to avoid contamination. Therefore, she dared not unleash her full power, but now, enraged, she no longer held back, fully unleashing the abilities of her Divine Appearance.
At this moment, two even brighter rays of light appeared where the woman's face should be, as if she had suddenly opened her eyes.
With this, the gigantic woman surged upward from the lake's bottom, and the long hairpin in her hand now resembled a sword pointed at Chen Chuan.
Along with her, a powerful force pressed down on Chen Chuan, attempting to push back the surging spiritual flame on his body. While it couldn't completely restrain him, it could influence his actions.
This wasn't limited to just one side. At the moment the giant woman appeared, the steam rising from the water due to their battle reflected another figure identical to her. Bai Gu's spiritual power had attached itself to the steam, forming this projected body.
At the moment she launched her attack, the woman above silently descended, aiming a strike at Chen Chuan's back!
Chen Chuan didn't turn to look behind him. Facing the pincer attack from above and below, he leaped into the air, propelled by the surging water below. In mid-air, he flipped his body, and the light on his body suddenly intensified, illuminating the entire lake with a golden-white glow.
At that moment, the forces from both directions struck him almost simultaneously, but the concentrated spiritual light seemed to collide with a solid wall, causing sparks to fly. The tip of the hairpin at the forefront couldn't penetrate.
In that instant, Chen Chuan unleashed his horizontal training force!
Blocking the simultaneous attack, his counterattack followed swiftly. With a twist of his body, the powerful force transformed into a hard power, and the spiritual light on his body gathered at his elbows and feet. In the midst of the horizontal flip, he struck out with a graceful posture, attacking the two large silhouettes separately!
A cracking sound echoed, as if something had shattered. The two large silhouettes, formed from condensed light, cracked and then exploded into countless fragments, scattering in all directions. The massive surge of water beneath them was forced upwards, splashing onto the shore.
Chen Chuan flipped horizontally again in mid-air, using the recoil to land steadily on the shore. The dazzling light on his body dimmed.
After a while, the separated water flowed back towards the center, and the water droplets in the sky continued to fall. Even people in the military family area nearby could feel the drizzle on their faces.
The surge of water pushed the body of Bai Gu, who had been lying at the bottom of the lake, to the surface and then onto the shore. Her body was half-broken, missing a hand and a foot, barely recognizable. Wisps of white-gold smoke rose from various parts of her charred body.
Chen Chuan slowly approached her. The falling water droplets hadn't reached his body yet, but they were instantly evaporated by the light on him, rising upwards along with the aura glow.
In his final strike, Chen Chuan had used the Pure Radiant Light Style, directly attacking her mind. The Pure Sect's secret techniques were specifically developed to counter the existence of the other side, making them more targeted and destructive against external impurities and forces.
The other side's power, which had merged with Bai Gu's mind, was almost completely shattered by Chen Chuan's attack. Since this was a violent removal, it caused significant damage to her, leaving her barely alive. Only the fighter's robust vitality prevented her from dying on the spot.
Of course, this wasn't Chen Chuan's intention. His fellow comrade had only asked him to hold her back, not to kill her. Doing so would cause many problems.
At this moment, Chen Chuan looked at Bai Gu and said, "No wonder you said that you only care about the present. By integrating the power of certain existences, you can increase your strength. In those years, you must have stayed in the Central City, rarely engaging in combat. Without practice and battles, how can you compete with us? How can you understand what we pursue?"
Bai Gu lay there, barely able to speak, and said, "Young man, you've only defeated me. But have you defeated them?" The 'them' in her words seemed to refer to the existences on the other side, but it also hinted at certain forces and groups.
Chen Chuan calmly replied, "What makes you think they can't be defeated?"
Bai Gu fell silent.
Chen Chuan glanced at her and said, "Senior, before the results are out, you should stay here." Then, he turned and walked back to where the pavilion had been.
Upon reaching the lakeside, he found that the pavilion had collapsed due to the aftermath of the battle. He walked to one side, reached out, and pulled out the sword that had been stuck there.
If this operation went smoothly, Bai Gu would have no chance of returning to her position as a municipal advisor, and she might even be taken into custody. Taking the sword as a trophy was reasonable, and Bai Gu probably wouldn't mind.
At that moment, he heard the sound of propellers. Looking up, he saw several battle airships flying in the same direction, but it was unclear which side they belonged to.
However, he didn't need to worry. The targeted side, having lost their high-end military might, had no chance of recovery.
Moreover, this operation involved not only the Pure Sect, represented by his fellow comrade, but also other government departments. For instance, Nurse Ling was likely from the Administration Bureau. Now, Chen Chuan only needed to wait quietly for the results.
