Chapter 277: Chapter 276: I Can Fight You Like This for Two Hours

CLANG!

A chilling saber flash struck the solid black armor, producing the crisp sound of metal on metal.

The blade bounced off the pitch-black armor, not even leaving a scratch.

The man with the goatee stared at the colossal figure clad in overlapping, ink-black Scale Armor. He said nothing, but inwardly he was already cursing up a storm:

’If your armor was at the Perfection stage, you should have said so sooner!’

’You just had to wait until the last second...’

Cursing was one thing, but as he looked at the intricately stacked Scale Armor, where every last detail seemed flawlessly forged and perfectly whole, he felt a growing sense of dread.

The more the man with the goatee looked, the more terrified he became.

’An armor body this exquisite... if I were to form my own flesh-and-blood armor to this level, how much pure Qi and Blood would that take!’

"..."

While the man with the goatee was sizing up the giant, ink-black armored form, Wu Chen was also sizing him up.

This was the first time he had fully manifested his flesh-and-blood armor, so he wasn’t sure what he looked like.

Had it taken the form he’d envisioned in his mind?

Menacing! Terrifying!

An appearance so intimidating it could strike fear into anyone who saw it.

But seeing the man with the goatee slowly tilt his head back, and the terror flooding his eyes, Wu Chen knew his appearance must be quite terrifying indeed.

’Now it’s your turn to taste one of my attacks!’

Wu Chen muttered to himself. The nearly ten-foot-tall ink-black giant swung its arm, bringing the black spear—now fifteen feet long and as thick as a grown man’s forearm—crashing down on the goateed man’s head.

WHOOSH!—

The simple, unadorned move produced a sound like a tsunami crashing against a mountain.

The man with the goatee watched in terror as the massive spear descended, its momentum like a collapsing mountain in his eyes.

It felt as if it could easily grind him into dust!

He shrieked in terror:

"I was only jesting before!"

Despite his cry, the man with the goatee knew the young man would not spare him. In an instant, a scarlet blood mist erupted around his body.

His flesh-and-blood armor instantly covered him from head to toe.

Even so, he didn’t dare be careless. He curled into a ball, crossing his hands over his head.

BOOM!

He had just gotten into position when the pitch-black spear crashed down.

Just like before, the flesh-and-blood armor the goateed man had formed showed no signs of shattering from the impact.

But under the force of tens of thousands of pounds, his entire body sank, his lower legs plunging more than two feet into the ground.

"Pfft!"

A muffled grunt came from within the flesh armor.

He had clearly formed the armor too hastily, and in his rush to defend himself, he had suffered internal injuries.

’He’s tougher than I thought!’

Wu Chen raised an eyebrow, a hint of impatience in his eyes.

’If once isn’t enough, I’ll hit you twice. If twice isn’t enough, I’ll hit you three times...’

’I refuse to believe you can take it forever!’

He was determined to see just how many of his smashes the man’s flesh armor could withstand!

He raised the massive spear, and with a whistling wind, brought it down hard on the goateed man’s armor again.

But just then, a ten-foot-tall, massive red figure charged out of the dense fog.

It was Zhou Shi, who had been sent flying earlier. He had activated his own flesh-and-blood armor and rejoined the fight.

He saw the goateed man in his flesh armor, lower legs buried in the ground, his body bowed and knees bent.

Then he saw the majestic, colossal figure standing before him, covered in black armor that resembled dragon scales.

Knowing the situation was dire, he charged forward without hesitation.

BAM!—

With a dull thud, Wu Chen staggered but didn’t move an inch from his spot. However, the ink-black spear in his hand was knocked off course, smashing into empty air.

This gave the man with the goatee a chance to catch his breath and dodge away.

"He Chen, this kid is tough to deal with!"

Having landed a successful blow, Zhou Shi didn’t get cocky. He yelled at a figure not far away:

"The three of us need to team up to take this kid down! The other disciples can handle that girl..."

He Chen, who was originally going to deal with Sun Yuting, had long since noticed something unusual about the young man.

Now, hearing Zhou Shi’s shout, he—already covered in his armor—immediately turned and charged toward Wu Chen without hesitation.

"..."

Wu Chen’s reaction was just as fast.

As Zhou Shi crashed into his waist, before the man could even finish speaking, Wu Chen swung a bent elbow and smashed it into his massive head.

BAM!

CRACK!

Zhou Shi’s huge body fell backward. From within his flesh armor came the sharp crack of breaking bones from the elbow strike.

Seeing the crimson figure scrambling to get up from the ground, Wu Chen thrust his spear straight at the man’s heart.

He wanted to test just how sharp his spear really was.

But at that moment, He Chen had already closed in from the side.

Feeling the sharp glint of a blade heading straight for his neck, Wu Chen had no choice but to give up his pursuit of Zhou Shi. He twisted his spear and swept it horizontally at the figure rushing him from the side.

An inch longer, an inch stronger!

The massive spear swept out, easily sending He Chen’s enormous body flying as he got close.

But once again, he had no time to land a finishing blow before the sound of rushing wind came from behind him!

The man with the goatee was attacking again...

’Son of a bitch...’

Although he wasn’t exactly losing—it was more like a one-sided beatdown with him dishing it out and them taking it—this fighting style was frustrating, and Wu Chen couldn’t help but feel the urge to curse.

He had to admit, the three of them coordinated with incredible synergy, leaving him feeling like he had all this power but no way to use it effectively.

The killing intent in Wu Chen’s eyes intensified. He took a moment to glance over at Sun Yuting.

A hundred-some demonic cultivators had surrounded the girl in a circle. Supported by her Leakless Realm strength, Sun Yuting still had enough energy to face the dense horde for the time being.

But every time she killed one, another would immediately take its place.

Looking at the vast sea of figures, the endless heads to be slain, Sun Yuting, who had already slain six or seven of them, felt no joy, only a trace of bewilderment in her eyes.

Even though she was strong enough to overpower the demonic cultivators, facing such an inexhaustible tide of enemies would unconsciously give rise to panic and despair.

That’s why she couldn’t comprehend how Wu Chen had managed to wipe out five demonic cultivator encampments in a row...

Doesn’t his wrist get tired?

She hadn’t thought much of it before, but only by being in the thick of it, surrounded by layers upon layers of demonic cultivators, could one truly experience this sense of helplessness.

Sun Yuting clenched her jaw, knowing she couldn’t show any sign of fear. Otherwise, the short time she could have held on for would be instantly halved if these demonic cultivators sensed her weakness and swarmed her.

She feared that time would be cut in half!

However, at that very moment, a familiar, sharp whistling sound reappeared, enveloping her.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!—

Then, a warm mist of blood exploded around Sun Yuting.

The sudden change made the demonic cultivators around her instantly pull back a considerable distance.

’Alright, I forgot this guy is a Grandmaster. His strength is beyond what I can imagine...’

Looking at the blood mist around her, Sun Yuting naturally knew it was Wu Chen who had acted from a distance, and she could only grumble to herself in resignation.

"..."

After tossing out a Blood Evil True Gang to give the girl a breather, the black-armored giant spun around and delivered a powerful kick to the chest.

SCREEE!—

The goateed man’s massive saber left a trail of sparks on the black-armored giant’s body, but as Wu Chen’s kick connected, the man was sent flying backward.

BAM!

The flesh armor on the goateed man’s abdomen, though it still hadn’t shattered from the kick, was visibly dented. The blow wasn’t fatal, however.

Once again, before Wu Chen had a chance to move in for a finishing blow, Zhou Shi had already flipped to his feet and lunged forward.

’I could fight you three like this for two hours...’

Wu Chen watched them attack in rotation. He wasn’t flustered, but for the moment, he was stuck in a defensive struggle.

It didn’t really affect him, but that feeling of having powerful moves he couldn’t use was not pleasant.

Wu Chen didn’t have a good solution. Facing the three men who came at him one after another, he could only brandish his spear, swinging and smashing it horizontally, searching for an opening amidst the melee.

Alternatively, it was a contest of stamina, to see who would be the first to give out.

Occasionally, he would also gather a blast of Blood Evil True Gang in his left hand to clear out the demonic cultivators around the girl in the distance, easing her pressure.

But this was ultimately not a long-term solution.

The three Upper Envoys coordinated meticulously, giving Wu Chen absolutely no opportunity to land a killing blow.

They, too, planned to exhaust Wu Chen’s stamina before using a fatal move to finish him off!

’Are those guys finally wearing down?!’

After a few moments passed in the whistling melee, Wu Chen clearly noticed that the three Upper Envoys at the Perfection of the Leakless Realm had slowed down slightly, and the gaps in their coordination were growing larger.

If he could just wear them down a little longer, he would definitely have a chance to kill them.

But he also noticed that Sun Yuting, not far away, wasn’t in good shape either.

The turbulent aura within her body was clearly fading.

Her power was regressing from the Mid Stage Leakless Realm to the Early Stage.

In just another dozen breaths, she would revert to her own realm at the Perfection of the Blood Coagulation Realm.

’The situation might be even worse than that.’

Wu Chen’s brows twitched. After all, Sun Yuting had used some special method to boost her strength, and such methods were often accompanied by immense physical backlash.

He feared that when the time was up, she might not even be able to stand steadily.

’Forget it. I’ll let you all live a little longer.’

He knew he couldn’t afford to be entangled any longer, or Sun Yuting’s life would be in danger.

Wu Chen swung his great spear, forcing back the three men who were besieging him, then leaped backward gracefully, disengaging from the fight.

His figure shot through the air. With a single stride, he landed in the middle of the demonic cultivators surrounding Sun Yuting, his massive form crushing six or seven of them to death upon impact.

He looked at the swaying Sun Yuting and the thirty-odd corpses of demonic cultivators on the ground around her.

Wu Chen knew the girl had done her best.

"Trying to run?"

"Stop them!"

"..."

Seeing the fearless horde of demonic cultivators about to swarm them, Wu Chen immediately swept the girl up by her waist.

Then, like a colossal wild bull, he charged toward the foot of the mountain.

THUD! THUD! THUD!—

With this charge, a continuous series of dull thuds rang out as more than a dozen demonic cultivators were sent flying, their flesh torn and bones shattered.
