Chapter 575: Chapter 564: Water Monarch (2)

Mu Chen chuckled, his eyes flaring with intense fighting spirit. He shouted, "I’ll throw those words right back at you!"

As he spoke, the crystal signaling the start of the match once again fell from the sky, striking the arena floor. With a sharp CRACK, countless tiny arcs of Purple Gold Lightning erupted from beneath Mu Chen’s feet. These arcs were so minuscule that they were nearly impossible to discern without looking closely.

But in the instant the lightning arcs vanished, so did Mu Chen’s figure. When he reappeared, he was already right in front of Fang Bin.

With a massive BANG, the moment he neared Fang Bin, Mu Chen instantly unleashed all of his Primordial Power. Using the Taotie Secret Technique, he transferred all of his body’s strength into his right fist and threw a punch aimed straight at Fang Bin’s chest!

This ghostly speed, akin to Instant Teleportation, truly astonished Fang Bin. Although he had seen it once before in the competition hall, it was a completely different experience to face it himself.

The corner of Fang Bin’s mouth lifted. He didn’t freeze in place like Mo Wen had. Instead, he raised the arm covered by the Azure Arm Armor and held it horizontally before his chest. Not only that, but the instant Mu Chen appeared, a Water Attribute Elemental Power filled with a Gentle Power formed a small vortex in front of his arm. At a glance, it looked like a Vortex Shield, capable of neutralizing immense force!

BOOM!

Mu Chen’s fist slammed viciously into the Vortex Shield. There was no thunderous roar, no terrifying cyclone of Primordial Power. There was only an explosive splash of azure water! Before the eyes of the crowd, the Vortex Shield that Fang Bin had condensed shattered with a loud CRACK. Mu Chen’s fist crashed hard against Fang Bin’s Arm Armor, sending him stumbling backward. It was clear that Fang Bin had gotten the worst of the exchange!

’But only I know what really happened,’ Mu Chen thought. ’I truly used my full strength in that last attack and completely shattered his Vortex Shield. However, by the time my fist broke through the shield and hit his arm, only thirty percent of its power remained.’

Seeing himself being forced back, Fang Bin jolted his right arm. As he raised it, Primordial Power erupted, and extending his arm backward, he shot a massive column of water from his palm. The immense reverse thrust brought his backward momentum to a halt.

Shaking his arm, Fang Bin frowned. "Such incredible force. Even after my Vortex Shield absorbed nearly seventy percent of it, you could still knock me back. I guess it’s no wonder Mo Wen was taken out in two moves! However, if you’re a Martial Artist who specializes in physical strength, then running into me is truly your misfortune!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Bin extended both arms behind him. With a surge of Primordial Power, two huge columns of water shot from his palms. The jets weren’t continuous; they were fired and retracted in an instant, vanishing without a trace. But in that brief moment they appeared, they generated a propulsive force that was nearly the speed of light, causing Fang Bin’s figure to vanish. When he reappeared, he was already beside Mu Chen.

He lifted his right leg and aimed a vicious Whip Kick at Mu Chen’s waist. The instant he kicked, Fang Bin’s right arm once again shot out a jet of water. Just like before, it was fired and retracted instantly. This light-speed propulsion amplified the force of his kick, making his attack not the slightest bit inferior to Mu Chen’s earlier one!

Mu Chen’s expression changed drastically. He hastily tried to dodge, but the Whip Kick was unbelievably fast; it was already too late! Giving up on evasion, he had to defend. ’My body can’t keep up, so I’ll have to use my Primordial Power!’ At his thought, the Water Attribute Elemental Power in the air erupted violently. A cold current swept out, and Fang Bin felt his leg movement suddenly stutter and slow down slightly. He then saw a small Profound Ice Shield Surface form at Mu Chen’s waist. At the same time, Mu Chen’s consciousness instantly locked onto a wisp of the Purple Gold Lightning he had released earlier. The moment Fang Bin’s Whip Kick struck the Profound Ice Shield Surface, he activated Instantaneous Step!

As the Profound Ice Shield Surface shattered with a CRACK, Mu Chen’s figure vanished with a WHOOSH. Fang Bin’s Whip Kick hit nothing but air. But this time, he wasn’t surprised. This wasn’t the first time Mu Chen had used this Instant Teleportation-like Body Technique for both offense and defense. Already mentally prepared, Fang Bin closed his eyes and grunted, "There!"

As he spoke, Fang Bin abruptly raised his right hand and pointed fiercely toward a spot to the southeast. A Water Arrow, accompanied by terrifying fluctuations of Primordial Power, shot out directly, transforming into a streak of azure light as it flew.

Mu Chen had just reappeared at the location of the Purple Gold Lightning marker and hadn’t even had time to make his next move when he sensed a terrifying wave of Primordial Power sweeping toward him. Alarmed, he slipped and explosively retreated, narrowly dodging the sharp Water Arrow!

This was the first time Mu Chen had seen someone wield the Attack Power of Water Attribute Elemental Power to a level that even he found threatening. But before he had a chance to react, another Water Arrow shot out, aimed straight at him.

This time, Mu Chen was truly enraged. His expression hardened as he also raised his right arm. Primordial Power swirled and condensed on his index finger as he growled, "One-Finger Ice Seal, Profound Nether Finger!"

WHOOSH! A blue Elemental Light Beam burst from Mu Chen’s fingertip, colliding with Fang Bin’s Water Arrow with a BOOM! The Ultimate Ice was incredibly tyrannical. The moment Fang Bin’s Water Arrow touched the icy blue beam, it was completely frozen solid. Not only that, but just before it froze, the Water Arrow was actually blasted apart by Mu Chen’s Profound Nether Finger. Unexpectedly, the small arrow contained a vast amount of water. When it burst, it formed a water blossom over eight meters wide. The splash made contact with the frigid air of the Profound Nether Finger and was instantly flash-frozen, creating a brilliant Ice Flower.

When Fang Bin saw this, his mouth opened and closed slightly before he chuckled. "So you’re an Ice Attribute Martial Artist. And the purity of this Ice Attribute seems quite high. A bit troublesome, but not a major threat."

After speaking, Fang Bin shook his right arm, and countless Water Arrows instantly materialized at his fingertips, locking onto Mu Chen as they shot forward. As the assault continued, Mu Chen naturally refused to be outdone. He effortlessly summoned the Profound Nether Finger, a Combat Skill long since seared into his mind, and pointed, freezing everything. On the screens, the space between the two fighters bloomed with one crystalline Ice Crystal flower after another, a beautiful sight to behold!

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

A rapid-fire succession of sounds echoed through the air. Fang Bin’s brow furrowed slightly. It seemed that this approach wasn’t enough to force Mu Chen to reveal his Martial Artist Realm. Thinking this, Fang Bin raised both arms, splayed his fingers, and instantly fired hundreds of Water Arrows. At the same time, he retracted his left arm, extended his right, and brought the index and middle fingers of both hands together to form a Sword Point. Two sharp columns of water, each two fingers wide, shot out from his fingertips, stopping only when they reached a length of about five meters. A sudden glance revealed them to be swords condensed from profound water.

Condensing water into a sword wasn’t difficult, but judging by the crystalline clarity of the Water Swords in Fang Bin’s hands, their quality had probably long surpassed that of Spiritual Treasure Soldiers!

With a thought, the Elemental Wings on his back suddenly unfurled. Two hurricanes instantly erupted, pushing Fang Bin’s body forward. His left hand wasn’t idle either; as he shot forward, it continuously blasted out jets of water to further accelerate his speed. The direction he was charging was, of course, straight toward Mu Chen.

At first, Mu Chen was focused on intercepting Fang Bin’s Water Arrows. But as he continued, he suddenly found hundreds of them appearing before him in an instant. Coincidentally or not, the final convergence point for all the arrows, regardless of their direction, was him. This infuriated him. His Ice Extreme Demon Pupils began to spin rapidly, and a rhombus-shaped, ice-blue crystal emerged from between his brows. Blue light flowed within his pale blue eyes as a soft cry, like a Brahma Sound descending, etched itself into everyone’s ears!

"Ultimate Ice Seal, Absolute Zero!"
