Free Web NovelChapter 73: Chapter 73: Afraid You’d Run Away
"Zhu Kai has been defeated!"
"Heavens! The genius who comprehended the Six Paths Spear Intent was defeated so miserably!"
"If word of this gets out to the Six Kingdoms, it will surely cause a massive uproar."
"Shen Daoxing is going to be famous."
.....
Before everyone entered the True Dragon Secret Realm, Zhu Kai was already a renowned genius in the Six Kingdoms, while Shen Daoxing was just an unknown junior.
Now, he had essentially used Zhu Kai’s fame as a stepping stone to rise to prominence.
’This Shen Daoxing... I really underestimated him.’
Mo Yunlei’s heart sank.
Before entering the True Dragon Secret Realm, he had considered his rivals to be Zhu Kai, Chen Baxian, and Prince Chen Zhihe of the Wei Kingdom. He never imagined that his strongest opponent would turn out to be Shen Daoxing.
"Good! I knew I wasn’t mistaken about you."
Just as Shen Daoxing was about to speak, a booming voice rang out.
The speaker was none other than Chen Baxian.
His eyes shone brightly as he looked at Shen Daoxing, his admiration plain to see. "I take back what I said before. You are indeed unfit to be my servant."
The crowd was speechless.
Even Zhu Kai had fallen to Shen Daoxing. How did Chen Baxian dare to say such a thing?
"It’s too late for that now."
Shen Daoxing’s gaze was icy, his heart as calm as still water.
’Even if I can’t kill this Chen Baxian, I must teach him a lesson he’ll never forget.’
Chen Baxian declared loudly, "Follow me! When I dominate the East Continent in the future, you can share in the glory!"
As he finished speaking, the Overlord Bloodline within him fully erupted.
An incomparably domineering aura burst forth. This supreme might made Chen Baxian look like a War God, a conqueror whose killing intent soared to the heavens.
"As expected of the Overlord Bloodline!"
Cries of astonishment rose from the crowd like a surging tide.
The Overlord Bloodline was one of the top-tier bloodlines in the East Continent.
"Come, submit to me."
Chen Baxian roared and stomped his foot violently.
THUD!
A tremendous force traveled from his foot into the ground. The earth beneath him instantly cracked, forming a dense web of fissures.
Rampant Primordial Energy surged forth, making the very air tremble.
This level of pressure sent a chill through the hearts of many onlookers.
BOOM!
Chen Baxian transformed into a streak of red light and vanished from his spot.
Shen Daoxing’s eyes grew cold. Primordial Energy churned within him as his Sword Body automatically activated, and he threw a vicious punch.
BOOM!
The air in front of him seemed to explode from the terrifying force of his fist.
The two violent and domineering streams of Fist Force collided brazenly in the next instant, right before everyone’s eyes.
BOOM!
A searing light swept out, as dazzling as the sun in the sky. Waves of Primordial Energy rolled outward in all directions.
If the clash between Zhu Kai and Shen Daoxing was a battle of weapons, then this duel was a collision between the peak physical bodies of Profound Platform realm Martial Artists.
Many of the surrounding people stared intently at the source of the raging Primordial Energy, where a terrifying storm had formed.
WHOOSH!
The next moment, a figure shot backward out of the storm.
It was Chen Baxian!
With every step he took back, the ground beneath his feet shattered, a testament to the powerful force he was enduring.
It wasn’t until dozens of steps later that a red light erupted from the Overlord Bloodline within Chen Baxian, finally allowing him to stabilize his body.
’How is Shen Daoxing’s physical body this strong too!?’
While the crowd was still reeling in confusion, the Primordial Energy around Chen Baxian exploded once more, spreading out in all directions like a toppling mountain and a surging sea—a truly spectacular sight.
"Again!"
Chen Baxian roared, pushing his Overlord Bloodline to its absolute limit before throwing another ferocious punch.
This time, he not only unleashed his Overlord Bloodline but also used the Earth-rank, low-grade Martial Technique, Desolate Divine Fist.
The Primordial Energy surged forth like a torrent piercing through heaven and earth, threatening to annihilate anything that stood in its path.
’It looks like Chen Baxian is going all out.’
Zhu Kai swallowed a Healing Elixir and observed the situation from the side.
Although he had been defeated by Shen Daoxing, his strength remained. With Shen Daoxing now the target of public criticism, he might have a chance to fish in troubled waters.
Shen Daoxing pushed his Sword Body to its peak, showing no intention of dodging whatsoever.
BOOM!
In the span of just a few dozen breaths, the two exchanged dozens of blows in mid-air. Every single strike was a brutal, flesh-on-flesh impact. This terrifying exchange would make even a Grotto Heaven realm Martial Artist’s blood run cold.
"Today, I’m going to beat you into submission!"
Shen Daoxing roared and clenched his fist.
His internal Seven-Colored Profound Platform began to release specks of light, and the aura of his Venerable Bloodline felt like it could no longer be suppressed.
CRACK! CRACK!
The air itself seemed to shatter in his palm.
Chen Baxian felt as if Shen Daoxing was growing larger before his very eyes, his aura expanding wildly.
A vast and domineering aura, originating from the distant, ancient Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, descended upon this world. Heaven and earth themselves seemed to tremble violently.
’What is happening!?’
Chen Baxian’s heart trembled. He, a bearer of the Overlord Bloodline, couldn’t help but take two steps back.
The aura emanating from Shen Daoxing actually made him feel a trace of fear.
It was an innate, uncontrollable fear!
He had never felt such an emotion, not even when facing the patriarch of the Chen Family.
’Could Shen Daoxing be even more terrifying than my own patriarch!?’
"I’ll show you right now!"
Shen Daoxing sneered, his voice growing louder and louder until it became a world-shaking sonic wave, echoing throughout the mountain forest.
BOOM!
As his voice fell, a massive Fist Force descended from above.
CRACK!
CRACK!
A terrifying sound rang through the air—the sound of space itself shattering under immense pressure.
The Fist Force crashed down, and Chen Baxian was like a lone boat in a raging storm.
After what felt like an eternity, he abruptly came to his senses and frantically circulated all the energy in his body to defend.
Just as everyone was fixated on this astonishing battle, a figure shot over from the distance.
ROAR!
A sharp Palm Force, like ten thousand stampeding beasts, let out a heaven-shaking roar as it flew toward Shen Daoxing in a sneak attack.
"Shen, watch out!"
In the crowd, Lin Ke’Er’s heart leaped into her throat when she saw this.
Who could have imagined that at the most critical moment of the fight between Shen Daoxing and Chen Baxian, Mo Yunlei—one of the Four Heroes of Celestial City Academy—would launch a sneak attack!?
Shen Daoxing’s pupils contracted violently, the killing intent in his eyes so thick it was almost tangible.
SWISH!
He extended his hand, and the Great Ming Demon Sparrow appeared in his palm.
The light of the blade slashed forward heavily, tearing through the airflow as it charged toward the Palm Force.
SCHLICK!
When the Palm Force met the sword’s light, it was like tofu, annihilated in an instant.
"How is that possible!?"
A look of astonishment appeared in Mo Yunlei’s eyes.
’I attacked with my full strength, yet I couldn’t even injure Shen Daoxing in the slightest?’
’Shouldn’t his attention have been entirely focused on his duel with Chen Baxian?’
Shen Daoxing said expressionlessly, "I’ve been watching your every move for a while now."
Mo Yunlei asked, bewildered, "Watching me?"
Shen Daoxing’s face was cold. "That’s right. Who knows if you might try to run when I’m not looking? You must die by my hand."
"...."
After a moment of silence, Mo Yunlei felt deeply insulted, and rage burned within him. "Shen Daoxing, do you really think you’re invincible?"
BOOM!
Mo Yunlei’s Essence Blood ignited completely, and in that instant, the aura of the Grotto Heaven realm surged forth from him.
