CHAPTER 484: CHAPTER 483 BATTLE_1

"Seeing Dragon in the Field!"

Ling Chen unleashed a flawless Dragon Seeking Sword Technique. The dragon-like howl of his sword echoed as its qi, taking the form of a dragon, created a spectacle of Overturning Clouds and Rain in the sky.

Seeing this, the Wild Python Sect master gave a cold smile. He raised his right fist, and his majestic true energy gathered. His entire right arm was covered with a layer of True Qi. The swiftly flowing True Qi was like a huge python, its head coalescing at his fist.

CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, CLANG!

The crisp sounds echoed in mid-air. Waves of violent True Qi fluctuations erupted at the point of contact. Visible energy ripples spread rapidly.

The Wild Python Sect master’s fist was extremely heavy. Fortified by majestic true energy, it struck with the weight of a thousand-pound boulder. Under such an attack, even a fellow Nine Heavy Realm Grand Master would be unable to withstand it more than a few times. However, Ling Chen met the blows head-on with his own strength, fighting to a standstill.

Seeing Ling Chen’s tenacity, a cold gleam flashed in the Wild Python Sect master’s eyes. He had no intention of being drawn into a prolonged battle. With Ling Chen’s limited strength, he couldn’t possibly be his opponent.

Every clash was accompanied by a blast of residual True Qi. This energy exploded like a sudden storm against Ling Chen’s body. Under such a fierce assault, even though Ling Chen’s body had been tempered by the Demon Gang Windstorm, several fine bloody lines appeared. Anyone else would have been riddled with holes on the spot.

This assault also failed to achieve the expected result, and the Wild Python Sect master’s eyes grew even colder. He stepped forward, appearing directly before Ling Chen. His majestic primordial energy surged forth, coalescing upon Ling Chen’s arm into the form of a twenty-zhang-long python.

"Wild Python Calamity!"

In an instant, the Wild Python Sect master’s arm transformed into a roaring giant python, a faint, ferocious aura spreading from it. Indeed, the Wild Python Sect master was a veteran Nine Heavy Realm Grand Master Level Powerhouse. He executed this Heavenly Peak Level Martial Art with consummate skill, bringing it to the peak of perfection.

His gaze was cold. His arm, carrying a terrifying force capable of piercing rock, blasted towards Ling Chen’s throat like lightning. The python’s head also opened its gaping, bloodthirsty mouth, snapping ferociously. Clearly, he intended to finish Ling Chen off completely with this move.

Ling Chen had a very clear understanding of the power behind the Wild Python Sect master’s punch. A crimson light flashed in his slightly bloodshot eyes. Unexpectedly, he didn’t retreat. Instead, he twisted his body slightly, avoiding a fatal blow.

CRACK!

The python’s head bit through Ling Chen’s shoulder. Instantly, his left shoulder became a bloody, mangled mess.

Seeing Ling Chen take his attack head-on, the Wild Python Sect master’s pupils constricted slightly. The toughness of Ling Chen’s body far exceeded his expectations. This blow should have torn Ling Chen’s entire arm off. Instead, it had only injured his shoulder—a result far from what he had anticipated.

"Boy, how does it feel to take that punch from me? Not pleasant, is it?"

Even though the punch hadn’t killed Ling Chen, the Wild Python Sect master knew it must have injured him. He let out a cold laugh, but then he saw a grim and ferocious look flash across Ling Chen’s face. He was startled to see a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of Ling Chen’s mouth. Clearly, Ling Chen had suffered a serious injury by taking that punch head-on.

"Old bastard, haven’t you noticed anything wrong with your own body yet?"

A chilling light filled Ling Chen’s eyes, his expression turning predatory and cruel. He then sneered.

Hearing this, the Wild Python Sect master’s pupils suddenly shrank. He quickly retreated and looked down at his left arm. Suddenly, a thin black line appeared, and blood sprayed. Then, before countless horrified gazes, the Wild Python Sect master’s arm was severed, gushing blood!

Unbeknownst to anyone, Ling Chen had actually severed one of the Wild Python Sect master’s arms.

"He was too careless! The Wild Python Sect master thought he could kill Ling Chen with one punch. After hitting Ling Chen, he let down his guard, and Ling Chen shockingly sliced off his arm without him even realizing!"

"No wonder Ling Chen didn’t dodge the Wild Python Sect master’s punch. Could he have done it on purpose? Did he let the Wild Python Sect master hit him to create an opportunity to counterattack?"

"No way! If that’s really the case, if he calculated even this, then this man is too terrifying!"

The onlookers were filled with terror, looking at Ling Chen with a mixture of fear and awe.

"Wild Python Sect Elder!"

Seeing this, Teng Beast was also greatly shocked. He quickly stepped forward and stared sternly at Ling Chen. "Wild Python Sect Elder," he said, "this kid is too cunning! We must join forces, or we won’t be his opponent."

"No need!"

Under those countless shocked gazes, the Wild Python Sect master finally snapped back to reality. Feeling the intense pain from his severed arm, his eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and an incredibly furious emotion exploded from within his heart. This outcome was something he had never, even for a moment, anticipated! To have his arm severed by Ling Chen, a mere junior, was an utter, unbearable humiliation.

"You little bastard, I’m going to tear you into a million pieces today!"

The excruciating pain and the blinding rage boiling within him almost immediately overwhelmed the Wild Python Sect master’s reason. Enduring the agony of his severed arm, he threw a punch. The fierce gust it generated was laced with a chilling killing intent, aimed ferociously at Ling Chen’s head.

Facing the Wild Python Sect master’s counterattack, Ling Chen maintained his composure. He retreated quickly. When the Wild Python Sect master closed to within ten meters, Ling Chen suddenly thrust his Thunder Shadow Sword into the ground before him. A mighty surge of sword qi instantly poured into the earth.

"Unbeatable Sword Technique, Earth-splitting King-sealing!"

CRACK! CRACK!

The earth fractured, and that prodigious sword qi directly cleaved a path forward. The sword qi surged along the path and then erupted from beneath the Wild Python Sect master.

BOOM!

The sword qi exploded, sending rocks and soil flying. The Wild Python Sect master himself was blasted into the air, his body tattered, cutting a miserable figure.

"Ah, you little beast!"

Seeing that he had not only failed to harm his opponent but had himself been blown sky-high, the Wild Python Sect master was so enraged he felt his lungs would explode. With one arm severed, his strength had plummeted, making it difficult to suppress Ling Chen as he had before. He hastily clutched his bleeding stump, his hair disheveled, his face covered in blood, looking as ferocious as an Evil Spirit.

The crowd watched the Wild Python Sect master cursing furiously in mid-air. They exchanged stunned glances, but no one dared to say anything more. This was especially true for those who had previously thought Ling Chen was doomed; they now kept their mouths tightly shut, never daring to speak ill of Ling Chen again.

"Wild Python Sect Elder, let me assist you!"

Teng Beast’s face darkened. He had expected to deal with Ling Chen this time, but unexpectedly, the Wild Python Sect master had blundered. He realized now that he should have joined forces with the Wild Python Sect master to handle Ling Chen from the start. Regrettably, the Wild Python Sect master had insisted on acting alone, refusing any help, which had led to this disastrous result.
