Eternal Saber

Chapter 655: Chapter 75: Joining Forces (Extended Chapter) (Part 2)

He held the Little Golden Eagle in one hand, leaving only one hand free.

A moment ago, he lost the initiative again, forced to defend and unable to counterattack.

Moreover, Chen Tang’s strength was immense.

As soon as he tried to move his leg, his lower stance became unstable, and he would immediately be forced back by a punch from Chen Tang!

After enduring more than a dozen punches like this, Bashish Red Peak grew furious and could no longer hold back. He hurled the Little Golden Eagle forcefully to the ground, freeing his hands to launch a counterattack!

These dozen punches also secretly alarmed Chen Tang.

He had almost unleashed his full power, yet this grandmaster-level expert seemed unfazed, surrounded by a True Qi Armor that was impenetrable.

Seeing Bashish Red Peak freeing his hands, Chen Tang’s moves also changed, with his fist clenched like a hammer.

The fist technique became extremely heavy, seemingly slower, but each punch carried the weight of Mount Tai!

"Fist Intent?"

Bashish Red Peak squinted and sneered, "Too bad your cultivation isn’t enough to truly unleash the power of the Fist Intent."

Boom, boom, boom!

Bashish Red Peak erupted with Innate True Qi, his clothes billowing, his beard bristling like a male lion.

Even if Chen Tang unleashed his Fist Intent, he still couldn’t suppress him.

He directly exhibited the "Mad Lion Fist," clashing head-on with Chen Tang!

This fierce contest left no room for tricks, it was purely a clash of strength.

Chen Tang ultimately couldn’t withstand it; after the initial few punches, he gradually faltered, retreating repeatedly.

Even the Vast Sea Force and Vajra Indestructible Body couldn’t withstand the Grandmaster’s Power.

Initially, his arms just felt numb and sore from the shock.

After twenty punches, stinging pain emanated from his arms, gradually swelling, with a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

In fact, to be able to clash with a grandmaster-level expert until now, it’s evident how terrifying the Vajra Indestructible Body is.

If it were earlier, Chen Tang would have been seriously injured long ago, his organs potentially severely damaged, coughing up blood.

Previously at the Nanxia Lijiang Inn, he had been wearing the Flood Dragon Armor and was half-killed by a blow from Uncle Wang.

But now, the blood at the corner of Chen Tang’s mouth was not due to internal injuries; it was simply that his teeth had loosened a bit from the shock, seeping with slight blood.

This kind of injury was no big deal for Chen Tang, who possessed the Vajra Indestructible Body.

Just a rest for an hour or two, and he’d be healed.

However, Bashish Red Peak clearly wouldn’t give him this opportunity.

In reality, Bashish Red Peak grew more and more shocked as he fought.

He didn’t expect this young person in the Third Grade Meridian Passage, around twenty years old, to clash with him and withstand over twenty moves!

This person’s physical form and Qi and blood had been cultivated to such a terrifying level.

If he truly stepped into the Second Grade Innate, what would that be like?

In this moment, killing Chen Tang was not only for revenge for his kin but also to crush this future grandmaster prodigy!

In this young man’s presence, he vaguely saw the shadow of Emperor Wu.

If this child doesn’t die, he is certain to become the second Emperor Wu.

Or perhaps, even more frightening than the Emperor Wu of old!

Bang!

With another punch, Chen Tang couldn’t withstand it, being directly blasted away, falling several meters away.

He gasped for breath, his arms trembling continuously, struggling to stand up, casually wiping away the blood at the corner of his mouth. Seeing the Little Golden Roc not far away, he couldn’t help but shout, his eyes glaring, "Run away quickly, what are you standing there for?"

The Little Golden Roc tilted its head slightly, looking at Chen Tang without the hostility it had earlier.

"This is not the time to act cute, is it?"

Chen Tang urged, "Fly away quickly, as far as you can, he can’t catch you!"

He was truly anxious.

The grandmaster opponent clearly still had hidden cards yet to be revealed.

Even so, he was unable to withstand it.

Besides Entering the Divine State and the Grandmaster’s Phenomenon, a clear enhancement for a grandmaster-level expert is the quality change of the Innate True Qi.

Second Grade Innate Martial Artists can release Sword Qi, with Innate True Qi protecting them.

Once stepping into the grandmaster level, they can release Sword Aura!

Sword Qi is only about a foot long, usually not exceeding three feet, extremely sharp, capable of piercing armor and slitting throats, but it can’t easily sever weapons.

Whereas released Sword Aura can reach several meters long, almost tangible.

Peak grandmasters can even explode with Sword Aura nearly ten meters long, like a white rainbow held in hand, capable of smashing gold and breaking stones!

This is the quality change of Innate True Qi.

The True Qi Armor of grandmaster-level experts is no longer in a gaseous state, more like a solid, offering greater defense.

Though Chen Tang’s hammer-like Fist Intent could shatter Bashish Red Peak’s True Qi Armor,

the opponent could concentrate True Qi continuously, quickly regenerating and refortifying the armor, giving Chen Tang no chance to continue his attack.

As a result, his strength had no way to injure this man, with no place to apply his force.

The Little Golden Roc seemed to understand Chen Tang’s words, flapping its wings twice, but only flew a little over a meter in the air before falling back down again.

Chen Tang, watching, felt dizzy with anger, nearly laughing from exasperation.

"You’ve got some nerve!"

Chen Tang gritted his teeth, saying, "An Exotic Beast spawn that hasn’t even learned to fly!"

"Haha!"

Bashish Red Peak laughed loudly, charging toward Chen Tang, and said loudly, "Celestial Mountain will be your burial ground!"

"Since you can’t fly, why don’t you run downhill!"

Chen Tang shouted again.

Bashish Red Peak had already rushed up.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Chen Tang could only concentrate all his energy to continue clashing head-on with Bashish Red Peak.

Just as they exchanged a punch, suddenly a golden light flashed out from the side like lightning and struck Bashish Red Peak’s fist.

Zip!

Blood splattered everywhere!

Bashish Red Peak winced in pain, groaned, quickly pulled back his hand, and looked down.

To his surprise, a chunk of flesh was pecked off the back of his hand!

A moment ago, it was the Little Golden Eagle that had dashed up and pecked him.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tang’s heart was stirred.

His power could smash through Bashish Red Peak’s Grandmaster Armor, revealing a flaw.

But the flaw was fleeting, and his follow-up attacks couldn’t keep up, not posing a threat to Bashish Red Peak.

The strength of the Little Golden Eagle alone couldn’t pierce through Bashish Red Peak’s Grandmaster Armor either.

However, at the moment when Chen Tang shattered the Grandmaster Armor, the Little Golden Eagle seized the opportunity to wound Bashish Red Peak!

Witnessing this, Chen Tang’s spirits lifted.

Unexpectedly, the teamwork of one man and one eagle had such an astonishing effect!

"For someone so young, you are quite loyal."

Chen Tang praised.

This time he didn’t urge the Little Golden Roc to run away.

If the two of them could join forces to force Bashish Red Peak to retreat, it would be for the best.

"Coo!"

The Little Golden Roc called out, seemingly responding to Chen Tang.

"A feathered beast and a snot-nosed brat, let’s see how you two can contend with me by joining forces!"

Bashish Red Peak squinted slightly, a wave of power emanating from his brow.

In the next moment, behind him, Innate True Qi surged and transformed rapidly, condensing into a majestic lion that fixed its gaze on Chen Tang and the Little Golden Roc.

"Kill!"

Bashish Red Peak roared, unleashing his Grandmaster’s Phenomenon without reservation, charging at Chen Tang.

The mad lion behind him roared as well, amplifying his imposing momentum!

Chen Tang felt an immense pressure!

But he did not retreat, concentrating fully, and under the Divine Illumination State, employed the "Chasing Shadows" body technique, instantly creating a series of afterimages, leaving real and fake indistinguishable.

Bashish Red Peak lunged at nothing.

And Chen Tang had already reached his side, extending his hand to grasp his shoulder.

"Courting death!"

Bashish Red Peak swung back with a punch, the mad lion behind him also widened its gaping maw, attempting to devour Chen Tang!

In mid-air, Chen Tang’s hand suddenly changed form, performing the Dragon-Subduing Hand technique, instantly gripping Bashish Red Peak’s wrist joint.

"What a fantasy!"

Bashish Red Peak sneered, not taking it seriously at all.

With this kid’s strength, even if he caught his joint, it posed no threat to him.

Moreover, there was still the Mad Lion Phenomenon, ready to engulf Chen Tang!

Chen Tang’s expression remained unchanged, his gaze sharp as a hawk’s, murmuring under his breath, "When a thought rises, the karmic fire burns; it is not others burning you, but you burning yourself!"

Whoosh!

The moment he spoke, a flame suddenly rose from the palm of his hand.

This flame spread along Bashish Red Peak’s wrist with a remarkable speed, enveloping his entire arm, and sweeping over his whole body!

Even the mad lion phenomenon behind him was engulfed by the raging fire, emitting waves of painful wails!

"What is this?"

Bashish Red Peak was astounded, instantly exploding with power, forcefully wrenching free from Chen Tang’s grip, and rapidly retreating, Innate True Qi surging like a tidal wave.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

With a piercing sound, these flames were finally subdued.

However, the Grandmaster’s Phenomenon he had just summoned was also burnt to shreds, unable to hold out.

At this moment, a golden light flashed.

The Little Golden Roc seized the moment, leaping into the air, and launched a flurry of scratches and pecks at Bashish Red Peak’s face and body.
