Chapter 753: Transformed Flood Dragon (Part 2)

Chen Qing, however, closed in like a specter. He didn’t use his deadly Spear Technique, but instead channeled the immense Qi Blood Power of his Dragon Elephant Wisdom Vajra Body. Clenching his right fist, which swirled with a Dark Gold Luster, he sent a simple, unadorned blast of Fist Force smashing down onto the King Snake’s head!

A muffled THUD! echoed, like the beating of a giant drum.

Attacked from both inside and out, especially after the tyrannical Fist Force struck the vital spot on its head, the violent lightning in the Cyan Profound King Snake’s huge eyes quickly dimmed. It let out an unwilling hiss as its massive body crashed to the ground, unconscious.

The electric arcs flickering around its body also grew incredibly faint.

The instant Chen Qing reached out to take the three Thunder Profound Fruits—

SWOOSH!

A sharp, air-rending sound tore through the curtain of rain. The figure that had been lying in wait finally moved!

Its speed far surpassed Chen Qing’s expectations, as if it were using Shrinking Earth into Inches. It crossed a great distance in a flash, a blurry cyan shadow lunging straight for Chen Qing’s back with sharp killing intent!

“Insolent!!”

Ruan Lingxiu, already prepared, let out a sharp cry. Her figure, as graceful as a Startled Swan, instantly blocked the newcomer’s path.

With a CANG LANG, her Long Sword slid from its sheath. The blade was like water, sending out layer upon layer of ripples.

Jade Celestial Wave-Splitting Sword!

A flash of sword light appeared, like a jade wave parting. A condensed stream of Sword Qi—incomparably sharp, as if it could cleave through a vast ocean—whistled out, slicing straight for the cyan shadow’s wrist.

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, even the strands of rain in the air were silently sliced in two.

“Hmph, courting death!”

The newcomer snorted coldly.

The hand he had aimed at Chen Qing suddenly turned back. Spreading his five fingers, he didn’t dodge or evade, but grabbed straight for the Wave-Splitting Sword Qi!

From his palm, dense True Essence surged forth, condensing into an earthy yellow Palm Seal that resembled the phantom of a great mountain.

BOOM!

The Sword Qi and the Palm Seal collided violently.

Although Ruan Lingxiu’s Jade Celestial Wave-Splitting Sword was sharp, the True Essence contained within the Cyan Rock Palm Seal was far more immense and heavy. It actually crushed the Sword Qi to pieces!

The exploding shockwave of True Essence flattened all the surrounding reeds.

Its momentum only slightly diminished, the Palm Seal continued on with the Power of Ten Thousand Jins, crashing down on Ruan Lingxiu.

Ruan Lingxiu’s expression changed slightly. Circulating her Secondary Tempered True Essence with all her might, she swept her Long Sword back, creating layers of a water-like Sword Curtain before her.

BANG! BANG! BANG! The Palm Seal broke through three layers of the Sword Curtain in succession before finally slapping viciously against the flat of her blade.

CLANG!

The sound of ringing metal echoed across the small island.

Ruan Lingxiu felt an irresistible force slam into her. Blood instantly stained the hand gripping her sword, and her entire arm throbbed with a sharp, numbing pain. Her chest felt as if it had been struck by a heavy blow, and her qi and blood roiled without end.

She let out a muffled groan as her body was sent flying uncontrollably. With a SPLASH, she landed in the cold lake water in the distance, sending up a huge spray.

“Hm!?”

Chen Qing had just plucked the three Thunder Profound Fruits and tucked them away when he turned to see Ruan Lingxiu knocked into the water in a single blow. His heart went cold.

‘This person defeated Ruan Lingxiu, who is close to Secondary Tempering. His strength must be at the Secondary Tempering level, or maybe even higher!’

‘And his Body Technique is bizarre, his speed astonishing.’

After knocking Ruan Lingxiu back, the man didn’t pause. His figure flickered again, streaking through the air like cyan smoke as he came straight for Chen Qing.

The dense, rainy mist and the cyan True Essence swirling around his body made it impossible to see his face clearly; one could only feel a sinister and ruthless aura.

“Leave the Thunder Profound Fruit and the King Snake!”

The hoarse voice carried a bone-chilling coldness.

Chen Qing’s eyes grew cold. His once-tempered Primordial Five Elements True Essence erupted from his body, and he held nothing back.

The Profound Dragon Spear let out a stirring dragon’s cry. The spear shot out like a dragon, without any fancy moves—just a straight thrust, condensed with immense True Essence.

The spear tip tore through the air, letting out a piercing shriek as it spun like a drill, stabbing toward the cyan shadow’s face.

“Insignificant tricks!”

The man waved his sleeve, and a surge of cyan light met the spear tip.

PFFT!

The Profound Dragon Spear stabbed into the cyan light, but it was like sinking into a swamp. The violent Power was dissipated layer by layer by the soft yet dense light.

“I’ve been guarding this Cyan Profound King Snake for months, waiting for the very moment it would become a Transformed Flood Dragon so I could subdue it. And you two juniors thought you could just swoop in and reap the benefits?”

The middle-aged man said sinisterly. At the same time, he made a grabbing motion in the air with both hands. A powerful suction force pulled at the unconscious Cyan Profound King Snake, and its body, weighing tens of thousands of jins, was actually lifted into the air.

“Trying to leave? Have you asked my spear for permission?!”

Chen Qing sneered. With a violent tremor, his Profound Dragon Spear broke free from the cyan light’s restraint.

The next moment, a magnificent and vast True Martial Spear Intent soared to the heavens!

Chen Qing moved with his spear, his momentum merging with the Profound Dragon Spear in his hands until they were one, as if he had transformed into the Demon-Suppressing True Martial himself.

True Martial Seven Joints!

The Profound Dragon Spear conjured seven solid spear phantoms, each one containing a completely different kind of Power—fierce, soft, shattering, piercing, coiling, vibrating, and spiraling!

The seven Powers were not released sequentially, but erupted almost simultaneously, intertwining to form a chaotic yet devastating torrent of force that smashed violently toward the middle-aged man!

This strike had already surpassed the bounds of ordinary Spear Techniques, triggering a violent fluctuation in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

The middle-aged man’s expression finally changed. “Brat, you dare show off your Spear Technique in front of me? I’ll show you that there’s always someone stronger!”

He dropped the King Snake, slammed his palms together, and then pushed them forward.

Between his palms, cyan light gathered frantically, instantly condensing into a massive Palm Seal that was dozens of feet wide, like a patch of the cyan sky itself descending!

Cyan Heaven Palm Seal!

The solid and tyrannical Palm Seal collided head-on with the torrent of Chen Qing’s True Martial Seven Joints Spear Force!

RUMBLE—!!!

An explosion ten times more violent than the one from the man’s clash with Ruan Lingxiu erupted.

A violent shockwave of True Essence spread out in a ring, peeling back layers of soil from the small island’s surface, turning the reeds to dust, and even pressing a huge depression into the surface of the distant lake!
