Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Spear and Shield

"Arrogant."

Upon hearing Ji Chen’s words, Yan Wushuang snorted coldly, standing with hands behind his back, and spoke with pride, "In the end, you’re just at the Nirvana Realm Seventh Layer. Even if you have some powerful cards up your sleeve, today, in front of me, you can’t stir up any waves."

"Is that so?"

Ji Chen replied calmly, remaining steady and composed, "Everyone who has said similar things to me before ended up dead without exception, and you will be no different."

"Buzz!"

The moment he finished speaking, an aura belonging to the Nirvana Realm Seventh Layer instantly surged to its peak around Ji Chen.

In Chifeng City, those who were fortunate enough to survive until now all turned pale, clearly feeling the immense power emanating from Ji Chen, a terrifying pressure like a massive mountain looming over this land, making it hard for them to breathe.

"Kill!"

A glint of cold light flashed in his eyes, and Ji Chen turned into a fleeting shadow, charging towards Yan Wushuang proactively.

Black light dazzled, and with the Daoist Emperor’s Weapon in hand, he thrust it forward as if piercing through the heavens, aiming the terrifying power directly at Yan Wushuang’s chest, intending to pin him dead on the spot.

"Buzz!"

However, facing Ji Chen’s sudden attack, Yan Wushuang only snorted coldly.

A boundless and overwhelming aura erupted from him instantly, draining the world of its color.

"Boom!"

The space trembled, and a Holy Light surged forth, transforming into a divine shield that stood in front of Yan Wushuang.

The collision erupted instantly, shaking the heavens and earth, causing the surrounding void to collapse and cave in.

"Bang!"

A dull, thunderous sound rang in the ears as Ji Chen was sent flying back by a tremendous force.

"Hmm?"

He furrowed his brows immediately, fixing his gaze on Yan Wushuang, with the Purple Ink Halberd in hand trembling slightly, feeling his entire arm going numb.

"An Emperor Weapon Level shield, huh..."

As he stared intently, Ji Chen finally saw that within the dazzling light in front of Yan Wushuang was a formidable huge shield.

This shield was extraordinary, exuding a dazzling brilliance and giving off an incredibly substantial feeling.

"While the Daoist Emperor’s Weapon is indeed fearsome, today, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to break through my Emperor’s Shield’s defense," Yan Wushuang sneered, looking at Ji Chen as if observing a dead man.

This shield was an Artifact Level Magical Treasure, renowned for its defensive capabilities.

Moreover, it had a special effect of reflecting all attacks.

Simply put, when Ji Chen’s Daoist Emperor’s Weapon struck the Emperor’s Shield, Yan Wushuang not only wouldn’t be threatened, but could even rebound all the power back at Ji Chen!

This almost guaranteed his invulnerability!

The power of that strike was completely reflected back at Ji Chen himself.

If he wasn’t wearing an Emperor Level Treasure Armor and didn’t possess a Hongmeng Body, the terrifying backlash would have reduced Ji Chen to ashes long ago.

"It is indeed a fine treasure."

Ji Chen snorted coldly, casting a piercing look at Yan Wushuang, and continued, "Unfortunately, once you’re dead, it will be mine."

Currently, in terms of attack power, Ji Chen wielded the Daoist Emperor’s Weapon.

In terms of defense, he wore an Emperor Level Treasure Robe.

Unless a powerhouse at the Ancient Emperor Level took action personally, the world would barely find anyone capable of killing Ji Chen.

Obtaining an Emperor Level Shield would undoubtedly be a significant boost for Ji Chen.

Clearly, the Emperor’s Shield that Yan Wushuang held had piqued Ji Chen’s great interest.

"Young in age, yet quite boastful, today I shall see how you intend to break my Emperor’s Shield defense."

Yan Wushuang snorted coldly, forming seal techniques with his hands, unleashing brilliant divine light.

He cast an Emperor’s Art, transforming into an astonishing sword light, cleaving through the heavens as if from the distant ancient years.

The moment the sword light appeared, it directly locked onto Ji Chen, slashing down with tremendous force!

"Destroy!"

Ji Chen dared not to be careless, knowing full well his opponent was a Nirvana Realm Ninth Layer expert, a being just a step away from the Emperor Realm.

The Ancient Emperor’s Secret Technique displayed by such a figure was extraordinarily powerful; any negligence on his part would bring about his eternal destruction.

With a fierce shout, he thrust the Purple Ink Halberd.

The black light shone upon the world, seemingly engulfing this realm, advancing towards Yan Wushuang’s descending sword with incredible speed.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

In the blink of an eye, their attacks collided fiercely.

Neither could gain the upper hand.

The sword aura shattered, the black light extinguished, both dissipating into the world.

"Kill!"

Ji Chen snorted coldly, a savage glint appearing in his eyes.

With his Emperor’s Halberd, he advanced aggressively towards Yan Wushuang.

"Boom!"

Another strike thrust forward, with terrifying power nearly engulfing the combat zone, distorting the void.

The raging heat waves swept across the world; even Great Saint Realm experts caught in it would probably be reduced to ashes in an instant!

"Bang!"

However, after the intense collision, a dull sound rang in the ears once again.

Then it could be seen that Ji Chen was once more sent flying back by an immense rebound force.

The defensive power of Yan Wushuang’s Emperor’s Shield exceeded expectations by far too much.

And its exceptional rebound effect bred a sense of despair in one’s heart.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Ji Chen snorted coldly, wielding the Emperor’s Halberd, charging forth yet again, attacking repeatedly, but each assault was blocked by Yan Wushuang with the Emperor’s Shield.

"Still not giving up?"

Yan Wushuang floated in mid-air, gazing down at Ji Chen with unabated confidence, "The more you persist, the more likely you’ll die by your own attack even without me having to make a move."

"In my view, there’s no such thing as an unmatched attack, nor absolute defense."

Ji Chen took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, with a calm expression, continued, "You believe this shield’s defense to be unbreakable; today, I shall shatter it before you."

"Swish!"

The moment he finished speaking, Ji Chen attacked once more, turning into a fleeting light, charging towards Yan Wushuang again.
