Chapter 262 - 239: Battle of Life and Death

Chapter 262: Chapter 239: Battle of Life and Death

On the arena stage, the battle between Yu Changsheng and Tang Chen had reached a fever pitch.

The stage was sealed by a sound insulation array, so he couldn’t hear the noise from the outside. However, his keen Divine Sense gave him a grasp of the situation, and he could only feel a sense of resignation.

At the same time, his mind was racing, and he completely let loose with every attack.

It was obvious this match had strayed from its original purpose and devolved into a life-or-death struggle. Neither Mo Pengchen nor Mu Yongxian had any grounds to intervene.

’In other words, I can kill Tang Chen right here, right now, in front of everyone! It would be a huge slap in the face to the Spirit Dragon Sect!’

Having thought this through, Yu Changsheng no longer hesitated. With a jolt, his techniques became even wider and more powerful. Seizing an opportunity, he slammed violently into Tang Chen!

"BOOM!"

In the next instant, the two separated. A trickle of blood seeped from the corner of Yu Changsheng’s mouth. He frowned, feeling a slight numbness in his shoulder, a little surprised.

After consuming the Blood Burst Pill, Tang Chen’s strength had reached the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer. Coupled with his already impressive physique, this was the first time Yu Changsheng had ever felt himself at a disadvantage in a head-on collision.

"Yu Changsheng, today, either you die or I live! I will send you to the Underworld to kneel and repent to them yourself!"

Tang Chen roared. Under the effects of the Blood Burst Pill, his aura was actually still rising. However, it seemed to be limited by the number of his Spirit Platforms, finally stalling at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, unable to climb further.

But this came at a cost. Visible to the naked eye, his skin had begun to show fine cracks from this method of overdrafting his potential.

"You talk too much," Yu Changsheng said flatly. "I can’t be bothered to reason with you. You’re not worthy."

After licking the blood from the corner of his mouth, the cold glint in his eyes intensified. He shook out his arm, and the Thousand Mountain Armor covered his entire body, forming a layer of reinforcement.

Meanwhile, the battle between the three pairs of Spirit Beasts was just as inseparable.

Although Tang Chen himself had reached the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer, his three Spirit Beasts were only at the Foundation Establishment Second Layer. Therefore, while Yu Changsheng’s three beasts were under pressure, they were not completely outmatched.

In fact, this was the main reason why many Foundation Establishment Cultivators only formed contracts with two Spirit Beasts. The more Spirit Beasts one had, the more resources were needed to raise them, making it difficult to ensure that each beast’s Realm could keep pace with one’s own.

"HISSSSS..."

As its tongue flickered, layers of flame ignited upon the Red Refining Snake’s massive body. The coldness in its scarlet eyes deepened as it slithered forward, leaving a trail of sparks, and moved to entangle the Cyan Flower Poison Scorpion.

The Cyan Flower Poison Scorpion’s appearance wasn’t actually that different from an ordinary scorpion. Its defining features were that it was more than ten times larger, its body was a mix of red and cyan, and its shell was covered in cyan flower patterns. Its enormous tail was hooked upwards, glinting with a menacing cold light, while its black venom dripped, releasing wisps of black vapor.

Facing the Red Refining Snake’s advance, it planted its limbs firmly on the stage. It aimed its tail at the snake’s vital spot and stabbed forward violently.

The Red Refining Snake’s body recoiled. Its tail lashed out, instantly bending into a hook as black as ink. The Poisonous Tail Divine Hook formed in an instant, just as venomous, and met the Cyan Flower Poison Scorpion’s stinger head-on.

"SZZZZZ..."

As the two collided, they actually produced a series of metallic clangs. The Cyan Flower Poison Scorpion continuously tried to break through the Red Refining Snake’s defenses from cunning angles, attempting to pierce its body.

But the Red Refining Snake’s movements were incredibly nimble. Their venomous tails clashed repeatedly, and for a moment, they were locked in an inextricable stalemate.

"SCREEECH!!"

The Golden-Winged Eagle circled in mid-air. Seeing the Red Refining Snake and the Cyan Flower Poison Scorpion locked in a stalemate, it suddenly beat its wings fiercely. A violent Wind Dragon Tornado howled as it condensed into blades, sweeping toward the Cyan Flower Poison Scorpion’s back.

"AWOOOO!!"

The Gale-headed Wolf pushed off with its powerful front legs, its figure as fast as lightning and wind, leaving a trail of afterimages. Its two heads roared, and as the sound of wind and thunder boomed, they spat out two beams of cyan light that tore through the air, colliding with the tornado from the Golden-Winged Eagle and causing it to instantly collapse and vanish.

Layers of trees and vines formed a cage, sprouting from the surface of the stage and rising up to trap the Gale-headed Wolf inside, shimmering with a cyan light.

"AWOOO!"

The Gale-headed Wolf roared, a look of contempt appearing in its cyan-glowing eyes. Cyan light flared from its front claws, coalescing into a three-foot-long blade that it swiped viciously at the Tree Sea Cage!

Splinters flew everywhere. The cage of trees and vines, which had looked indestructible, collapsed after a single blow.

The Colorful Star Deer let out a clear cry and stamped its front hoof. A seven-colored light emanated from its spiraling antlers, and an endless sea of trees instantly appeared once more, twisting together to reinforce the trap.

But how could the Dark Spirit Fear Claw Bear on the sidelines let it have its way? Its dark claws, tinged with a hint of gold, flashed with a cold light. It leaped into the air and slashed viciously toward the Colorful Star Deer!

"Dark Spirit Fear Claw!"

Three blades of dark gold light instantly tore through the air, flying straight at the Colorful Star Deer with an unparalleled sense of pressure.

The Colorful Star Deer’s eyes narrowed. This fierce attack was too dangerous to meet head-on, so it had no choice but to abandon its restraint on the Gale-headed Wolf and hurriedly dodge the three blades of light.

"SCREEEEEE..."

In the next instant, the three blades of light struck the ground. Three long gouges were carved into the stage, extending for dozens of meters and sending sparks flying. The power of the attack was clear to see.
