Chapter 147: Strike When and Where They Least Expect It (2)

He clashed head-on with Jin Peng’s attacks, producing deafening roars.

The purple-gold dragon scales had amazing defensive power.

But facing the Spiritual Power attacks of the Great Power Realm, they were no longer unscathed; tiny cracks began to appear, and the counter-shock force also caused Chen Chuan’s blood to churn.

But in the end, with his First Level of the Half-Step Great Power Realm Cultivation, he stubbornly withstood Jin Peng’s fierce assault.

Although he seemed to be at a disadvantage, only able to passively defend and dodge, he showed no signs of collapsing.

This scene once again shocked everyone!

"He actually blocked it?"

"With the First Level of the Half-Step Great Power Realm, he’s clashing with the First Level of the Great Power Realm? How is this possible?"

"Just how strong is his Physical Body? What level of defense are those purple-gold dragon scales?"

After failing to win for a long time, the original cat-and-mouse playfulness in Jin Peng’s heart gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of irritability and unbelievable rage.

He had thought he could easily crush Chen Chuan, but he hadn’t expected the opponent to be so slippery, and his Physical Body strength was beyond imagination.

"I’ll see how long you can hide!"

Jin Peng’s eyes turned cold, his offensive became even more ferocious, and his Spiritual Power poured out without reservation; the sky full of golden afterimages almost completely submerged Chen Chuan.

He abandoned flashy moves, pursuing the most extreme speed and power to completely tear Chen Chuan apart.

However, he did not notice that in the depths of Chen Chuan’s eyes, there was a layer of calm calculation.

What Chen Chuan wanted was for him to get close, to make him irritable from the prolonged attack, and to pull the attack distance to the limit.

Now is the time!

At the moment when one of Jin Peng’s full-strength Sky-Rending Claws was almost touching Chen Chuan’s face, Chen Chuan’s left and right hands, which had been hidden, suddenly rose at the same time.

Buzz!

Sizzle—

On his left hand, a ball of dark and deep black flame that seemed capable of swallowing light ignited silently.

As the flame flickered, it emitted a cold Aura that could freeze the soul.

It was none other than the Nine Nether Soul Devouring Flame!

On his right hand, a ball of colorful and gorgeous flame that emitted a nauseatingly sweet scent rose up.

Wherever the flame passed, even the air made a sizzling sound from being corroded.

It was none other than the Myriad Poison Heart-Corroding Flame!

Two completely different yet equally eerie and terrifying Spiritual Fires appeared without warning in Chen Chuan’s hands and lunged at the nearby Jin Peng with lightning speed.

"What? Spiritual Fires? And two of them?"

The cruel grin on Jin Peng’s face instantly froze, and his pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks.

He never would have imagined that besides his Bloodline and powerful Physical Body, Chen Chuan actually hid such malicious and terrifying trump cards.

And he used two Spiritual Fires of completely different attributes as soon as he struck.

The distance was too close!

The speed was at its limit!

He simply didn’t have time to make a perfect dodge!

"Golden Peng Protective Aura!"

In his haste, Jin Peng could only frantically circulate his Spiritual Power to condense a thick golden Protective Aura on his body’s surface.

At the same time, he crossed his arms in front of him, attempting to withstand the eerie flame attack.

Boom!

The Nine Nether Soul Devouring Flame and the Myriad Poison Heart-Corroding Flame struck the golden Aura simultaneously.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, but rather a tooth-aching sound of erosion.

The dark Nine Nether Soul Devouring Flame, like an invisible ghost, actually penetrated part of the Protective Aura’s defense and drilled toward Jin Peng’s brow and Sea of Consciousness in wisps.

Meanwhile, the colorful Myriad Poison Heart-Corroding Flame erupted with terrifying corrosive power, rapidly dissolving the solid golden Aura and attaching to it, attempting to corrode his arms and Physical Body.

"Ugh, ah!"

Jin Peng let out a muffled groan of pain mixed with shock and anger.

He felt a bone-chilling force rush straight to his soul, his Sea of Consciousness feeling as if it were being pierced by thousands of ice needles, causing unbearable pain.

At the same time, a burning and numbing sensation came from his arms; the poison and corrosive power of the Myriad Poison Heart-Corroding Flame were frantically invading his Meridians and flesh.

"Get away from me!"

In his horror, the Grade Nine Golden-Winged Roc Bloodline Power within him fully erupted.

Dazzling golden light exploded like a small sun, and his robust Spiritual Power surged out like a tsunami.

He forcibly shook off and pushed back the two Spiritual Fires attached to his body.

At the same time, he stomped his foot hard, and his figure retreated dozens of yards, instantly pulling away from Chen Chuan.

After standing firm, Jin Peng’s face turned slightly pale, and his Aura showed a trace of disorder.

The clothing on his arms had been completely corroded away, leaving faint colorful marks on his skin that were being repaired by his powerful Bloodline Power and Spiritual Power.

But more troublesome was the power of the Nine Nether Soul Devouring Flame that had invaded his Sea of Consciousness.

Although temporarily suppressed by his Divine Soul power, it was like a maggot on a bone, constantly eroding his spirit and bringing waves of dizziness and stinging pain.

Although it wasn’t a fatal blow, the eeriness and power of the two Spiritual Fires undoubtedly caused him significant injury, greatly reducing his strength.

At this moment, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence once again!

Everyone, whether from the Jin Family or the Chen Family, was stunned by the two Spiritual Fires Chen Chuan had suddenly unleashed.

"Spiri... Spiritual Fire? He actually controls Spiritual Fire?"

"And two of them? One Spiritual Fire is already a massive fated opportunity; how could he possibly possess two at the same time?"

"Nine Nether Soul Devouring Flame! Myriad Poison Heart-Corroding Flame! These are both recorded as extremely eerie and difficult Spiritual Fires!"

"Just how many trump cards does he have?"

The cruel smile on Jin Wushang’s face completely vanished, his eyelids twitched wildly, and a storm rose in his heart.

He looked at the Spiritual Fires in Chen Chuan’s hands that were gradually dying out but still retained their lingering power; after a wave of fear, an even more overwhelming killing intent surged.

This boy must not be allowed to live!

Fortunately, Chen Chuan was only in the Half-Step Great Power Realm, so the power of the Spiritual Fires was limited by his Cultivation; if he were also in the Great Power Realm, Jin Peng would have likely been in dire straits from that blow just now.

Chen Xiao was equally shocked; he finally understood where Chen Chuan’s confidence came from.

It turned out that besides his Perfect Bloodline and powerful Cultivation Method, these two Spiritual Fires were his true killing moves.

However, after the shock, his worry grew even more.

Jin Peng was, after all, in the Great Power Realm; since the blow hadn’t been a fatal one, now that he was on guard, it would probably be difficult for Chen Chuan to succeed with the Spiritual Fires again.

"Cough, cough..."

Jin Peng circulated his technique and forcibly swallowed a mouthful of blood.

For the first time, the absolute calm and arrogance from before vanished from his eyes.

They were replaced by deep wariness and a hint of humiliation at being injured by an ant.

He stared fixedly at Chen Chuan, his voice slightly raspy due to the damage to his Divine Soul:

"I truly underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to possess two Spiritual Fires; no wonder you’re so arrogant."

He took a deep breath, suppressing his still-churning blood and the stinging pain in his Sea of Consciousness.

The Grade Nine Golden-Winged Roc Bloodline Power surged within him, repairing his injuries and dispelling the remaining poison and soul flame.

Although he was no longer at his peak, his pride and confidence as a Great Power Realm expert were not completely lost.

"However, do you think you can turn the tides with these dishonest tricks?"

"Your Spiritual Fires are indeed eerie. But now that I’m on guard, I will never give you another chance to release them at close range!"

Jin Peng stood tall, and the golden light around him lit up once more; though not as brilliant as before, it was more condensed and dangerous.

His eyes were cold, and his killing intent reconsolidated, locking onto Chen Chuan.
