Free Web NovelChapter 1704: Chapter 1701: Battle Against Zhai Xingzi
"Swish!"
The long sword drew from its sheath, like a shooting star across the cloud sky.
The Sword Intent that was imposing and disdainful, like Bai Hong piercing the sun and a comet striking the moon, pressed towards Bai Wuxing.
Bai Wuxing was greatly alarmed, hurriedly swinging his sword to block.
"Clang!"
The sword blades clashed, releasing a splendid spark in midair with an explosive sound.
From just this exchange of blows, Bai Wuxing was already completely at a disadvantage, his momentum utterly suppressed by Li Chen.
Seeing this scene, Bai Wuxing was astounded, filled with terror.
He could no longer afford to hide his abilities, quickly exerting all his strength, vainly trying to resist Li Chen’s suppression.
However, the defense system he constructed was completely powerless against Li Chen’s invincible sword edge.
In just a few breaths, it was completely destroyed, turning into nothingness.
The situation was extremely critical; Bai Wuxing wanted to escape but felt as though a powerful Sword Intent locked him, making it impossible to move.
"I told you, you’re not my match, but you just wouldn’t believe me. Isn’t living a good thing, why seek death?"
This murderous statement still lingered in the air when the Seven-star Dragon Abyss in Li Chen’s hand erupted with unmatched brilliance.
In the face of this powerful radiance, Bai Wuxing seemed insignificant like an ant.
After a mournful scream towards the sky, his whole body was pierced by thousands of Sword Intents, turning into dust.
"Hiss!"
Seeing such a terrifying scene, all the onlookers were struck with an unbelievable expression of shock.
They gasped incessantly, unable to utter a word.
At this moment, a tremor suddenly came from the void.
Soon, a person clad in starlight appeared, with an imposing aura, like a god or Buddha in the sky, inducing awe.
There was no need to guess, it was clear that this person was the Hall Master of Xingyun Hall, known as Wuyu’s best master, Zhai Xingzi!
Zhai Xingzi, with countless stars above his head, looked at Li Chen with a contemptuous gaze.
"Li Chen, I never expected you’d dare come here. Truly, there’s a road to heaven, but you don’t take it; hell has no gate yet you seek to enter!"
Li Chen pointed at the killed disciple of Xingyun Hall and said, "Zhai Xingzi, just now your disciple said the same thing to me. Unfortunately, their end wasn’t good either!"
Listening to Li Chen, Zhai Xingzi was initially taken aback then burst into laughter.
"Li Chen, it seems you’re very confident in yourself?"
Li Chen smiled confidently and assuredly replied.
"Of course, if I wasn’t confident, why would I come here to court death?"
Li Chen’s calm demeanor and those bright star-like eyes made Zhai Xingzi feel uncomfortable.
His expression darkened instantly, as if suppressing a Thunderous Fury, layer upon layer surging out.
"Very well, today I shall see what your monstrous skills are like?"
Li Chen, not to be outdone, immediately responded.
"Rest assured, I won’t let you down!"
"Arrogant!"
Zhai Xingzi shouted angrily, behind him, the starlight gathered into a light sword, slashing towards Li Chen with dominance.
This Sword Shadow was at least a hundred times sharper than the sword Li Chen comprehended from the nameless Sword Stele.
With this slash, the entire void was instantly cut in two, the houses and city walls below were destroyed in an instant.
As for the cultivators inside, except for a few with strong cultivation, who could barely resist, the others couldn’t withstand such terrifying pressure and died on the spot.
In the distance, Snow Princess saw this scene, her delicate brows slightly furrowing, and her clear eyes filled with worry.
Judging by the power of Zhai Xingzi’s slash, it was clear he had no intention of holding back.
It seems he has a mind to kill Li Chen.
But it’s not surprising, no matter who it is, in Zhai Xingzi’s position, they would want to crush Li Chen’s bones and scatter his ashes.
Even for her, Snow Princess, the same would hold true.
Just when everyone thought Li Chen was bound to die, his expression remained unchanged.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze piercing through the thousands of stars in Zhai Xingzi’s slash.
Quickly, he keenly captured a flaw.
In fact, this flaw, in the eyes of top experts like Snow Princess, couldn’t even be considered a flaw.
But in Li Chen’s eyes, it was different.
After keenly capturing this flaw, he reached into the void, summoning the Seven-star Dragon Abyss.
A golden dragon shadow roared out of the void, leaping into the starry array.
Seeing this, a look of disdain immediately appeared in Zhai Xingzi’s eyes.
"Humph, overestimating yourself!"
After speaking, he snapped his fingers and shouted fiercely, "Close for me!"
With Zhai Xingzi’s command, the star formations crisscrossed, forming a deadly Luo Net, firmly trapping the Seven-star Dragon Abyss within.
To this, Li Chen showed no panic.
He immediately took countermeasures.
"Eagle Strike the Sky!"
Eagle Strike the Sky, a Sword technique Li Chen comprehended by himself.
Numerous ice swords shot out from all sides of the void, entwining with Zhai Xingzi’s starlight.
"Clang!"
"Crackling!"
When the ice swords and starlight collided, a splendid spark burst forth instantly.
Violent energy waves quickly spread out like ripples of water.
Even from thousands of miles away, one could feel the terrifying might exploding here.
As for the watching cultivators, they were stunned beyond words, filled with fear.
Snow Princess stood still like a statue.
If she were to replace Li Chen, even with all her trump cards, she might not last three rounds.
Just who is this Li Chen, so young yet possessing such terrifying strength?
With this thought, Snow Princess’s curiosity about Li Chen grew stronger, eager to unravel this mystery.
From the observers’ view, Li Chen and Zhai Xingzi both stood in place, seemingly not moving at all.
However, they had secretly exchanged hundreds of blows. Each side unleashed their killing moves, and any slight mistake could lead to their demise.
From the fight, Zhai Xingzi had completely gained the upper hand, thoroughly suppressing Li Chen.
However, capturing and killing Li Chen wasn’t an easy task.
Every time he launched a lethal move attempting to crush Li Chen, the latter always managed to defuse it with incredible methods.
Even for Zhai Xingzi, who has lived for tens of thousands of years, such Divine Skills were breathtaking.
Considering this, Zhai Xingzi actually began to admire his talent.
If he could bring Li Chen under his wing, having such an excellent henchman, he believed it wouldn’t take long for him to break the Life and Death Shackles and ascend to immortality.
