Chapter 989: The Vigorous Qi Pierces the Sky
"Quickly, there's a signal from the northeast at a twenty-degree angle!"
After Chen Chuan sent the message, the ship carrying the Field Domain creature hurriedly sailed out as fast as possible. Guided by the telegraph signals, they were relieved to find the expanding Field Domain just over two li away.
This was because after the relay station was destroyed, they feared that a single ship's Field Domain power might be insufficient. Therefore, other ships carrying Field Domain creatures were also heading their way.
The moment the Field Domain signals connected, they immediately relayed this information.
On the Jinbei Province side, several flickers appeared on the Field Domain screen, followed by the sight of two figures confronting each other on the sea surface. The scene was slightly blurry and paused at that instant, remaining unchanged for a while.
However, everyone present could recognize the two figures: Chen Chuan and Zhao Zhenye, who had appeared in the previous records.
The atmosphere among the onlookers turned solemn, as the available intelligence indicated that Zhao Zhenye was extremely powerful, having already defeated Mr. Zuan.
Justice Qi glanced at Qiao Yang, who promptly responded, "We've notified the East Sea Province. The Wind Crane Pavilion Master is on his way there."
"That's useless," said Yao Zhiyi, shaking his head.
The crowd at the Field Domain screen was taken aback and looked up to see that it was Yao Zhiyi who had spoken.
"Let me be blunt," Yao Zhiyi continued, "the Wind Crane Guardian won't be able to intervene in this battle between these two. If he goes there, he'll only cause more trouble."
Although he could only see the two figures frozen in that moment, he could intuitively sense from the image that Zhao Zhenye was completely different from before. There was an oppressive feeling in his breathing, indicating a significant change in his body. Combined with his previous defeat of Mr. Zuan, it was clear that his strength had greatly improved.
Chen Chuan stood there, and although he didn't give off a particularly powerful aura, Yao Zhiyi was somewhat familiar with his current strength. These two individuals were far beyond any fighter currently in the two paths.
Justice Qi pondered for a moment and asked, "What about Mr. Zuan, who sent us the message earlier? Have we found him?"
Qiao Yang replied, "Chancellor, the rescue airship team has located him."
"Inform the East Sea Province immediately," said Justice Qi, "and ask them to prepare the necessary medications to treat his injuries as much as possible."
The crowd nodded in agreement, thinking that this might be of some use. Since Mr. Zuan could pursue Zhao Zhenye, it indicated that his strength was not far behind. If he could join the battle later, it would be more reassuring.
However, Yao Zhiyi shook his head, unconvinced of its effectiveness. He had a feeling that this battle between the two wouldn't last long, and the next signal they received might bring news of the outcome.
Out on the vast sea, Chen Chuan hovered in the air, his long sword pointing forward. The surrounding atmosphere was pushed outwards in ripples, with the rising steam enveloping the Spirit Form behind him like a misty cloud.
At the other end, Zhao Zhenye's expression had become extraordinarily solemn.
The aura and Field Domain strength emanating from Chen Chuan were akin to those of a fighter who had reached the Longevity Perception Realm of Longevity Temple.
But how could that be possible?
The Spirit Form behind Zhao Zhenye, which had been like drifting smoke, gradually solidified under this stimulation, enveloping his entire body in silver-white flowing light.
In the sky above, it was as if a bright sun and a full moon had appeared simultaneously.
After releasing all his power, Chen Chuan saw that Zhao Zhenye hadn't moved, so he took the initiative to launch an attack. The Spirit Form above him rumbled, dispelling layer upon layer of mist, and he surged forward, bathed in dazzling light. With his sword and mace, he struck towards Zhao Zhenye's position.
At this moment, Zhao Zhenye's Spirit Form also moved forward, arms outstretched with streams of flowing light, as he rose to meet the attack.
Chen Chuan, however, tapped his foot and instantly closed the distance between them. He held the long sword behind him with one hand and clenched his other fist, slamming it towards Zhao Zhenye's face. As he advanced, the intense white-golden light seemed to concentrate on the front of his fist.
He fixed his gaze on the figure before him, knowing that this punch was crucial. It would depend on how Zhao Zhenye responded. If the opponent chose to engage in a head-on clash, it would be the ideal situation.
Based on the spiritual experience provided by Mr. Tang, Chen Chuan discovered that after the fusion of his Secondary Self, he surpassed his opponent in absolute power and had a slight edge in speed. If the opponent opted for a direct confrontation, Chen Chuan could gain the upper hand from the start.
This time, Chen Chuan didn't rush in recklessly fueled by passion. Instead, he had carefully discussed and analyzed tactics with Vermilion Whirl beforehand.
During their analysis, they concluded that Zhao Zhenye was most likely to choose a head-on clash. From his battles with Mr. Zuan, it was evident that Zhao Zhenye appeared humble but harbored a sense of pride. His decision to match Mr. Zuan's speed and power wasn't merely a self-imposed constraint but also a belief that he could defeat them both with his skills under equal conditions. Such individuals, who held themselves in high esteem, rarely retreated in direct confrontations.
However, in any battle, anything could happen. If Zhao Zhenye made the less likely choice, Chen Chuan would have to adopt a different strategy.
Azure True Industry faced Chen Chuan's offensive without evading, and for good reason. Firstly, Chen Chuan's speed was astonishing, and if he dodged now without stopping this attack, he would have to keep dodging, a very passive situation.
There was another crucial reason. Chen Chuan's punch utilized the Great Azure Sky Technique, a clear challenge from a junior to a senior. His self-pride and arrogance wouldn't allow him to show any retreat, so he stared at the approaching fist, and with the same Great Azure Sky Technique, he met the punch head-on!
Boom!
The two fists collided, and flashing rays of light and white-golden brilliance exploded in the air, creating a massive burst of brightness.
This was a collision of the same origin, and Azure True Industry had already mastered the Great Azure Sky Technique to a profound level, allowing him to harness more power. However, Chen Chuan's attack wasn't just the Great Azure Sky fist power; it also had the corresponding empowerment of the Bright Light Technique and an extremely pure force!
As these pure forces clashed, neither side had any room for compromise. The strength disparity was immediately apparent, and Azure True Industry's body trembled, despite his Spirit Flame blocking the frontal impact. He couldn't avoid some shock.
After this punch, Chen Chuan seemed unaffected. He released the Snow Lady Long Sword, letting it float behind him, and with his other hand, he formed a fist and swiftly struck again.
This was one of his purposes in forcing Azure True Industry into a direct confrontation. When the latter was inevitably restricted and influenced by the force collision, Chen Chuan's Secondary Self would take on all the impact, and with his superior strength, he aimed to quickly advance and suppress his opponent.
Azure True Industry saw that Chen Chuan's second punch was faster and more ferocious than the first. He focused his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and met the incoming fist with his other hand. The sky shook, and the fists clashed in another head-on collision.
Please...collect...6...9...books...!
Spirit Flames surged upwards, colliding and compressing at the point of fist contact before dissipating and scattering.
Chen Chuan's Secondary Self flickered with fading signs, and as his second punch landed, he spun and unleashed the third punch without any hindrance!
Azure True Industry's breath hitched as he faced the powerful incoming flames. This time, instead of countering, he raised his arm to block and executed a clever technique to dissipate the force.
As they made contact again, a loud explosion reverberated from above almost simultaneously.
Only now did their Spirit Forms collide, and their massive sizes indicated greater strength. However, both in terms of technique and movement, they were slightly inferior, so it wasn't until after several clashes that they made contact with each other.
Countless Spirit Flames fell like scattered fireworks. The Spirit Form of Longevity Temple could generate Spirit Flames independently, and this power alone was beyond the reach of fighters of their level.
However, after Chen Chuan's Secondary Self merged, the Spirit Flame he possessed was not inferior to Azure True Industry's in terms of thickness, resulting in a stalemate. This side was also restrained, leaving no room to spare for the situation below.
Azure True Industry was now forced into a rhythm of power confrontation. With each punch from Chen Chuan, a portion of the Spirit Flame on his body would disperse, showing an overall decreasing trend.
This was because every time he endured an impact, he didn't have enough time to adjust, preventing him from drawing more power from his body. This inevitably led to the gradual erosion of the Spirit Flame he could use for defense, and no matter how solid his foundation was, if he couldn't manifest it, it was as good as non-existent.
This was precisely Chen Chuan's intention: to exploit a small advantage, widen the gap, and expand it until it became an unstoppable force.
Azure True Industry sensed the crisis. Chen Chuan seemed to possess some secret technique that made him immune to impacts. Once this momentum built up uncontrollably, if the Spirit Flame on his body were exhausted, even with his level of cultivation, he wouldn't be able to withstand Chen Chuan's attacks.
At this critical moment, the glint in his eyes beneath his bangs flashed. With his rich combat experience and acute battle analysis, he seized upon a turning point.
At this stage, not only were their physical strengths clashing, but their energy fields were also colliding. The opponent not only possessed the power of the Great Azure Sky Technique but also the astonishingly complementary Bright Light Technique.
However, Azure True Industry suspected that the opponent had only recently mastered the Great Azure Sky Technique, leaving a slight imperfection in his use of power.
As the opponent's fist struck again, Azure True Industry employed his force dissipation technique, but this time, his palm merely deflected, and the Great Azure Sky energy field surrounding him suddenly accelerated, forming a unified force that collided with the most solid surface of the opponent's energy field.
Boom! A powerful counterforce formed between the two energy fields, pushing both individuals away from each other in that instant!
