Chapter 490 - Snowing Heavens
Chapter 490 - Snowing Heavens
This was Qin Huanyu’s first time proving his strength in front of so many people. He was a little nervous, so he gritted his teeth to suppress the discomfort in his heart. Then he decided to face the battle with passion in his blood. During his previous strike against Long Chen, he had indeed not taken Long Chen seriously.
The blades were out and the battle had begun. Qin Huanyu turned into an illusion and charged at Long Chen, leaving glints of light in the air where his Snow Moon Knife passed!
Qin Huanyu let out a low growl. With a dark gaze, he swung the Snow Moon Knife like a madman!
“Blizzard Strike!” This technique was like a blizzard in deep winter barreling towards Long Chen. The magnitude of this attack was much larger than the last time he used it against Long Chen. In the face of a threat like Long Chen, he had no choice but to use all his strength to achieve a glorious victory!
He had received two years of mentorship from the Clear Shallows King, so this was only right!
The crowd was awed by Qin Huanyu’s attack. Even the elders were impressed and said, “Huanyu’s knife technique has gotten more and more precise. The Blizzard Strike is an advanced Heaven-tier knife technique, though he is using the first strike of the sequence, which is at the intermediate Heaven-tier. However, it’s impressive that he has mastered it so thoroughly. If he proceeds to use the most powerful move, even I am no match for him.”
“Of course. How can we compare to someone who has received personal mentorship from the Clear Shallows King?”
The elders were powerful individuals for sure, but as they were already over thirty years old, they lacked potential.
While Qin Huanyu’s attacks impressed the crowd, Long Chen maintained his calm composure, just like before. However, there was a cold flash in his eyes.
He slashed his sword at the last moment. He used the Supreme Demon Sword, which was as powerful as before!
Rumble!
The sword and knife techniques collided, and powerful ripples radiated. The crowd quickly stepped back, and even their clothes billowed in the wind created by the attacks.
Their eyes remained glued to the battlefield.
Just as they expected, Long Chen was out of tricks. Qin Huanyu’s attack was more powerful this time, so it blasted Long Chen backwards, even flipping several times in the air.
“As expected, a newcomer can never be a match for a direct disciple ...” This thought popped into everyone’s minds.
This included the Clear Shallows King’s disciples, who thought the same. The stronger fighter was already determined just from this first exchange.
I hope Huanyu will listen to me and not kill him ... There was worry in Liu Yiyi’s eyes.
Long Chen was about to crash into the ground, but to the crowd’s surprise, he easily resisted the momentum from Qin Huanyu’s attack and lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot when he landed. Then he shot out like a gust of wind at Qin Huanyu.
To be honest, Long Chen would not need to use much of his power to finish Qin Huanyu if he used his Dragon Soul Transformation. Long Chen had tested this already. If he did not use his Dragon Soul Transformation, he was no match for Qin Huanyu.
Using the Dragon Soul Transformation multiplied the amount of Qi in his body by ten times, plus it was an advanced Heaven-tier combat body!
While he shot forward, blood-red dragon scales quickly covered his whole body, and a blood-red dragon image appeared on every single tiny scale. He radiated an ancient and regal aura, and he was suddenly ten times faster than before!
No one could even react to the sudden change!
He was almost as strong as Qin Huanyu before, but now he was ten times stronger. To him, Qin Huanyu was slow!
Cries of surprise came from the crowd. The expressions of the Clear Shallows King’s direct disciples changed, especially Liu Yiyi’s. She saw a glint of bloodlust in his eyes, and she had a bad feeling!
Does he intend to kill Huanyu? Liu Yiyi realized this immediately. Qin Huanyu was a junior she had known for two years, and other than the fact that he was a little arrogant, he had no other issues. However, Long Chen’s gaze was dark and violent, with killing intent hiding within!
Liu Yiyi would never let Qin Huanyu die. She ignored everything else and started to run towards the two people. If the duel started to become fatal, she would protect Qin Huanyu immediately.
Before Long Chen accelerated, she was confident Qin Huanyu would win. Now, however, she was very worried.
Qin Huanyu also saw the violence in Long Chen’s eyes. This was his first time realizing that Long Chen had a method of becoming stronger in battle, and his hair stood on end as he watched Long Chen approaching at a speed he could not dodge.
No way! He’s terrifying! If I don’t use that move, I will be killed! This thought popped into his mind in the extremely small window he had to react. He clenched his jaw and waved his Snow Moon Knife towards Long Chen again. He was preparing to use the final move of the Blizzard Knife technique.
Cold air spread from the Snow Moon Knife, and a cold gust of wind wrapped around Qin Huanyu. As he waved the knife, the wind quickly strengthened into a full blizzard.
Long Chen chuckled coldly. When he paired his current strength with the Heaven Sword Array, his opponent would lose even if he used an advanced Heaven-tier technique. Techniques in the same tier differed in strength after all.
Whoosh!
There was the sound of a loud tear!
“Blizzard Knife Technique, Snowing Heavens!”
Qin Huanyu roared, then the Snow Moon Knife duplicated into millions of knives. Every knife glinted like a snowflake, making them look like a blizzard of blades.
Snowing Heavens was an advanced Heaven-tier technique that truly lived up to its reputation because it was truly powerful!
Long Chen was a little surprised by the move’s power, though it did not exceed his expectations. It was difficult for even a Seventh Passage Stage cultivator to use this attack to this magnitude, so when he launched the attack, the crowd thought that Qin Huanyu would surely win.
“Snowing Heavens can kill cultivators above the Seventh Passage Stage, let alone a Fifth Passage Stage cultivator.”
“It’s a pity the new kid has to die this way. Huanyu must have felt threatened, so he pulled out his strongest move against him. The kid will surely die unless the Clear Shallows King protects him.”
Everyone looked at the Clear Shallows King, who remained calm and did not move. It was clear that she had no intention of protecting anyone.
The crowd gasped when Snowing Heavens was used, but it did not scare Long Chen. It was admittedly powerful, but could it beat Ling Xi’s Heaven Sword Array?
The Demon Emperor Sword flashed and Long Chen accelerated. Then many sword symbols appeared in front of him and exploded into the Heaven Sword Array, which far exceeded Snowing Heavens in scale. It completely trapped Qin Huanyu inside.
This time, the Heaven Sword Array was more powerful than ever before because the more Qi Long Chen had, the more powerful the attack would become. In fact, this was the first time he could somewhat use the technique to its full potential!
The wind howled in their ears. Under the crowd’s shocked gazes, the blizzard from Snowing Heavens was completely swallowed by Long Chen’s Heaven Sword Array! Millions of sword symbols trapped Qin Huanyu’s attack, which completely disappeared!
“How is that possible!?” Cries of shock rang out like gushing water.
“A cultivator needs to be at least the Seventh Passage Stage to use such a powerful attack! Is Jiang Cheng a monster?”
“I saw him use this attack during the qualifiers, but it definitely wasn’t as scary as this!”
“Has he become that much stronger?”
Even the two Demon Generals’ faces twitched. Long Chen was insane to use a sword technique as powerful as this at just the Fifth Passage Stage!
“No! Huanyu will die!” The Clear Shallows King’s direct disciples were also shocked by Long Chen’s strength, but they were even more concerned that Qin Huanyu would die if the fight continued. Just a few moments ago, they thought Long Chen was the one who would die, but now Qin Huanyu was the one in mortal danger!
They yelled for the Clear Shallows King, begging for help, but then they realized that her gaze was still calm. However, there seemed to be an additional fire burning within it.
Liu Yiyi’s gaze also fell on the Clear Shallows King.
Mother really isn’t going to save Qin Huanyu... Liu Yiyi thought bitterly to herself. She knew that the Clear Shallows King would definitely not rescue Qin Huanyu, so it was up to her. No one else knew what Liu Yiyi was thinking.
“Stop it!” yelled Liu Yiyi. Her white dress billowed and she quickly rushed towards Long Chen.
“Stop?” Long Chen chuckled coldly. At this critical moment, not only did he not stop, he intensified his attack. Snowing Heaven had completely died down due to the powerful Heaven Sword Array by now. Then, to everyone’s shock, Long Chen’s Demon Emperor Sword pierced through Qin Huanyu’s heart, causing blood to spray!
