Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Close-Quarters Combat

"Whether it is or not, you’ll know by trying."

Ji Chen stood in mid-air, the Stellar Law Phenomenon hovering behind him, like a monarch of the stars.

His silver armor shone brightly, the endless starlight bathed over him.

"Buzz!"

At a certain moment, when Ji Chen’s aura reached a peak, he finally moved.

A flash of white light, his entire body turned into a blur, charging swiftly toward Dongfang Yan.

"Seeking death!"

Dongfang Yan shouted coldly, his gaze flashing with a cold gleam.

Though he knew Ji Chen possessed the Hongmeng Body, he did not believe that this physique could really rival the strength of a Daoist Emperor’s Weapon.

Attempting to simply break his defense with physical power, in his view, was impossible!

"Boom!"

In the blink of an eye, Ji Chen took a giant step forward, appearing directly before Dongfang Yan.

A thunderous sound erupted instantly, echoing in everyone’s ears.

Their fists collided directly, and the terrifying energy ripples spread into the surrounding void.

The mighty force surged, with laws annihilating into nothingness.

"Bang!"

The clash of a single punch shook heaven and earth, as if two great mountains had collided, causing cracks to appear in this piece of void with the power of space constantly overflowing.

In the collision, both stepped back eighteen paces, neither gaining the upper hand, remaining equally matched.

Ji Chen’s Hongmeng Body was indeed extraordinary, but breaking through the defense of the Emperor Armor with one strike was simply unrealistic.

Moreover, Dongfang Yan himself had the cultivation of the Nirvana Realm Eighth Layer, and with such reinforcement, clad in Emperor Armor, naturally he could also engage in close combat with Ji Chen.

"Boom!"

Failing to gain an advantage, Ji Chen did not hesitate. He snorted coldly and charged forward once again.

His tightly clenched fist burst out with dazzling light, pounding forth with power, causing the whole world to tremble continuously.

Dongfang Yan, protected by the Emperor Armor, had an astonishing defense, enduring two punches from Ji Chen without showing any signs of weakness.

"Kill!"

Ji Chen launched a fierce attack, reaching out his large hand towards Dongfang Yan and pressing it down fiercely.

Suddenly, it was as if the entire void’s mighty force were boiling over at this moment.

A terrifying great seal appeared out of nowhere, swirling with earth-shattering aura, like an ancient Great Emperor descending upon the world.

On the great seal, the dazzling character ’Qin’ was engraved, a Emperor’s Art.

"Emperor Seal Technique!"

On the city tower, Qin Xuan clicked his tongue, his eyes filled with immense shock.

He recognized the martial technique Ji Chen was now displaying, surprisingly, the Emperor Seal Technique exclusive to the Qin Family!

Moreover, such an Emperor’s Art is one that even ordinary direct lineage disciples aren’t qualified to comprehend, only a few from the heritage line are allowed.

In previous battles, Ji Chen had repeatedly used martial techniques from the Qin Family, which had deeply puzzled Qin Xuan.

He couldn’t understand where the other had learned these cultivation techniques.

Now, Ji Chen even executed the Emperor Seal Technique, which undoubtedly left Qin Xuan deeply shocked.

Could this guy be the patriarch’s illegitimate child?

Otherwise, how could he have mastered so many of the Qin Family’s secret arts?

"Boom!"

However, facing Qin Xuan’s doubts, no one present could give an answer.

The terrifying Emperor’s Seal power pressed down like a Divine Mountain descending from the Immortal Realm upon the world, carrying a heaven-destroying might, crashing fiercely toward Dongfang Yan’s direction.

"Destroy!"

Dongfang Yan’s brows furrowed tightly. Obviously, facing Ji Chen’s menacing move, even with the Emperor Armor on him, he dared not underestimate it in the slightest.

With a soft shout, Dongfang Yan formed seals with his hands, instantly releasing a divine light.

"Buzz!"

The space trembled continuously, cracks forming one after another.

Then everyone could see a great mountain appearing out of thin air, like a Divine Peak, pressing fiercely toward Ji Chen’s Emperor Seal Technique.

What Dongfang Yan exhibited was not an ordinary Holy Technique, but an Emperor’s Art, one of his three trump cards.

"Boom!"

With great booming sounds resonating, the terrifying energy ripples engulfed the surrounding void, shaking heaven and earth, affecting nearly a thousand miles.

In the distance, several mountains were affected, collapsing on the spot from the terrifying shockwaves, countless boulders rolling, with incessant roaring sounds.

In the clash, the surging heat waves swept Ji Chen and Dongfang Yan nearly a hundred yards away from each other, yet neither sustained any injuries.

"Swish!"

Ji Chen snorted coldly, once again charging forth, turning into a flash of light, reaching the front of Dongfang Yan in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!"

With a tightly clenched fist smashing down fiercely, deafening booms resonated throughout heaven and earth.

Just like before, in this exchange, neither held the upper hand.

Dongfang Yan relied on the Emperor Armor’s powerful defensive ability, entirely fearless of close combat with Ji Chen.

"Still not giving up?"

The two pulled back shortly, Dongfang Yan squinting his eyes, gazing sharply at Ji Chen, "Your Hongmeng Body is indeed strong, but it has yet to reach the level of breaking through my Emperor Armor’s defense."

Despite his words, Dongfang Yan couldn’t help but feel deeply shocked inside.

Because in the previous exchanges, he clearly felt the terror and extraordinariness of the Hongmeng Body.

Such a physique is truly frightening; each punch’s force resembles a Daoist Emperor’s Weapon. If not for the Emperor Armor, Dongfang Yan wouldn’t doubt he’d have been blasted to ashes by Ji Chen by now, not even leaving a bone shard.

"This is just the beginning, are you so confident the Emperor Armor can protect you?"

Ji Chen smiled coldly, his eyes still reflecting calm and composure.

"Swish!"

As his words fell, he charged forward again, pressing toward Dongfang Yan.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

A dozen punches rained down rapidly, making the entire world tremble incessantly, causing the space to collapse.

"Swish!"

Having no intention of giving Dongfang Yan any breathing space, Ji Chen continued his fierce assault, the Hongmeng Body opening widely, striking punch after punch, the fierce offensive forcing Dongfang Yan to retreat consecutively.

"Whew!"

After several dozen punches, Ji Chen finally paused briefly.

He exhaled deeply, the Holy Light around him brilliant, like a Celestial God descending to the human world.

In contrast, Dongfang Yan now furrowed his brows, his complexion seemed a bit paler than before.

The Emperor Armor, though strong, couldn’t fully shield him from all external forces. The formidable power of the Hongmeng Body, while mostly negated by the Emperor Armor, still partly penetrated its defense, impacting Dongfang Yan.
