Chapter 163: Blow for a Year

Genres:Martial Arts and Xianxia Last update:25/03/24 18:05:34
    Four powerful demons raged towards the protagonist.

    Chen Yun became extremely calm, and in an instant, he began to contemplate how to break through this wave of attack.

    It is not realistic to use force to counter force.

    His own qi energy was only a sixth-grade mage at most, even if fully unleashed, it would not be enough to withstand.

    As for the divine consciousness, it is even weaker.

    It seems that in front of hard power, there are no methods to counter it.

    What is the most powerful thing about oneself at the moment?

    The answer is the physical body!

    What is the purpose of this confrontation?

    It is precisely to stimulate Dao Qi?

    These thoughts flashed through Chen Yun's mind briefly.

    At once, he made a decision and decided to choose to withstand the injury with his physical body!

    Only Chen Yun curled up into a ball at the same time, and then used the dragon killing technique to drive the qi essence, forming wave after wave of qi like scales around him to cushion it.

    Four streaks of demon Qi surged forward instantly, fiercely attacking his body!

    Boom, boom, boom.

    The intense explosion produced a brilliant light, flashing suddenly in the sky, almost illuminating the entire dawn!

    The terrifying energy turmoil roared.

    The scorching heat nearly melts everything.

    Whether it is the standing water on the ground, or some broken stones, soil, almost all of them were evaporated by this terrifying explosion!

    The steam spread out instantaneously, enveloping the entire protective barrier within a radius of a few miles.

    The sky is filled with lightning and thunder, and the earth is shaking violently!

    It can be imagined that the power of the four demons' joint all-out attack is terrifying!

    Even Gong Juji, standing outside the protective shield, felt a powerful heat wave crashing towards him.

    He watched with a sense of tension, afraid that the four demons might accidentally kill Chen Yun.

    Although Xie Ziran showed a calm face, the thick concern in her eyes betrayed her true feelings. She was also afraid that Chen Yun couldn't hold on.

    The brilliance did not last long.

    The steam began to subside gradually.

    Although it was still hazy and pervasive, making it impossible for ordinary people to see the situation clearly, but Gong Juji and Xie Ziran are what kind of cultivation, naturally seen the situation inside.

    At this moment, the land within a radius of one or two miles had been utterly destroyed and collapsed, leaving behind only a deep, bottomless pit.

    Countless underground water gushed out, like millions of fountains opening simultaneously, saturating the world.

    This is because Xie Ziran had set up a "protection shield"; otherwise, the terrifying destructive power of the four demons' fully unleashed demon Qi would have been even more horrifying!

    Of course, it is also because of this reason that the four demons' demonic energy is completely concentrated in a certain area, and the power is compressed and condensed.

    From a certain perspective, the explosive energy within the protective shield may be more powerful than the energy without limitations.

    However, even with such a powerful energy outbreak, Chen Yun was still curled up in mid-air, his body shining faintly with an indistinct electric light, seemingly uninjured!

    What... What?

    To harden against our four demons' all-out attack and not sustain any injuries at all?

    The monkey demon, leopard demon, rhinoceros demon, and brown bear demon were all surprised.

    Especially the brown bear demon, which had previously fought against Chen Yun and knew that the other's body was incredibly tough. However, it hadn't expected that even with four demons fully unleashing their demonic Qi and attacking together, they couldn't cause any harm!

    This is not something that a common cultivator at the level of an intermediate mage can achieve!

    Not only did the four demons who fought against Chen Yun become stunned.

    Even Gong Juji, who was akin to a high-level cultivator, was taken aback upon seeing the scene.

    The bat demon has been transformed into a spirit and undergone a millennium of cultivation. It has seen many storms and waves, making it an apt description to say that it is well-versed.

    But even this bat demon, which has seen its fair share of things, has truly never witnessed such a scenario where Chen Yun, a mere intermediate mage, withstands the full-fledged attack of four demons at the same level without suffering any injuries!

    This kid is pretty fierce!

    Gong Juji secretly praised Chen Yun.

    As for Xie Ziran, who usually had a charming but emotionless face, this was the first time she had shown a moved expression.

    It was not because Chen Yun managed to withstand the full-force explosion of the four demons that she showed a moved expression.

    After all, Chen Yun's physical body has reached the realm where it is impervious to weapons and fire, so it's not surprising that he can withstand this burst of power.

    Although it's impossible to avoid injury, at most, he would sustain some minor injuries.

    The reason Xie Ziran was moved was entirely because she saw the Dao Qi on Chen Yun's body beginning to subtly manifest.

    Those faint and subtle electric light vortexes around Chen Yun's body are the signs that Dao Qi is about to manifest!

    Even Xie Ziran had sensed it, so Chen Yun himself naturally felt it.

    During the burst of the four terrifying demon powers just now, they almost broke through his tough body, about to penetrate into his interior.

    But at this critical moment, the Dao Qi hidden within him suddenly activated, spreading to his limbs and meridians, covering his muscles, skin, bones, internal organs, and constantly fusing with them.

    Once the Dao Qi permeated throughout his body, a small portion burst out of his body and turned into beams of electric light, warding off all four demons' explosive power.

    The vast majority of the Dao Qi remained within his body, converging and rising.

    These Dao Qi, continuously replenished, seem to be insufficient even when filling the body. They are constantly compressed, becoming more solid and heavy bit by bit.

    Chen Yun had a premonition that if his body reached its limit, the Dao Qi would burst out, thus manifesting a powerful Dao body.

    At this moment, he finally realized something; Xie Ziran's previous guess was correct!

    The stronger the body, the more Dao Qi it can carry; the manifested Dao body might be even more powerful!

    Soon!

    It seems that it's almost at its limit!

    Chen Yun felt a powerful force coursing through his body like the surging waters of a river or an ocean.

    He couldn't wait to trigger it, roaring loudly, and in an instant, he launched a palm strike towards the rhinoceros demon closest to him.

    Crack!

    A thunderous sound erupted from his palm!

    Although Chen Yun did not use the law of thunder, he felt that when he released the power of "jin mu shui huo tu" five-word mantra in his hand using Dragon Slayer Art, he naturally carried the electrical power of Dao Qi!

    The five-color giant handprint with faint lightning flashes roared and screamed as it stirred the air, causing spontaneous combustion in the void!

    For a moment, the heavens and earth seemed to be filled with nothing but a powerful burst of color, as if all things had lost their color.

    This palm strike, seemingly ordinary, was apparent to anyone that it contained an terrifying power that could destroy all.

    The rhinoceros demon, as the target of the attack, felt it even more deeply.

    It felt a massive pressure falling from the sky as if it was locked down, making it difficult to control its body. Its massive physique was continuously hit by the terrifying force, causing it to crash into the deep pit in an instant.

    A huge five-color hand broke through tens of thousands of sky-high water columns, rolling like tens of thousands of tanks starting simultaneously, emitting a deafening roar, and crashing down with an unstoppable force!

    Light and shadow, plummeting straight down!

    Clouds moved over the jade shore, colorful thunder!

    The huge hand, as fierce as a galloping horse, fiercely struck at the deep pit, grinding countless streams into tiny droplets and then evaporating them all.

    Such incredible power terrified the rhinoceros demon inside the deep pit almost to its soul.

    Of course, it knew that Chen Yun's palm strike was of such immense power.

    If it were struck directly by it, there was no doubt that it would be dead.

    The bear demon, monkey demon, and leopard demon were all shocked to the core by such a powerful display.

    They had only battled with Chen Yun for a moment, believing they had figured out his strength.

    They estimated that Chen Yun was only slightly stronger than them.

    But when Chen Yun unleashed a palm strike that combined the five character mantra "jin mu shui huo tu" of the Dragon Slayer Art, they realized that their previous guesses were completely wrong!

    The power of this palm strike was almost on par with the combined power of the four demons.

    Such a terrifying outbreak would certainly be fatal for the rhinoceros demon!

    The three demons were in a knot of worry over the safety of the rhinoceros demon!

    At this critical moment, Gong Juji, who had been standing below the cliff wall, opened his eyes slightly. Without any other action, Chen Yun's palm strike suddenly disintegrated into points of starlight and vanished completely from view.

    "Brother!"

    "Brother!"

    The monkey demon, the leopard demon, and the brown bear demon hurriedly looked towards Gong Juji with joyful expressions on their faces. They knew that it was he who had saved the rhinoceros demon just now.

    The rhinoceros demon, even more so, flew out of the deep pit in a flash and rushed to Gong Juji in front of him, gasping with relief: "Oh my goodness, I almost died just now. Thank goodness you saved me in time, big brother."

    Chen Yun couldn't help but look over as well.

    He hadn't meant to cause any serious harm just now. It was only that, under the empowerment of Dao Qi, the power was far beyond his imagination, and that had almost led to an accidental injury to the rhinoceros demon.

    He apologized to the rhinoceros demon immediately: "Brother Rhinoceros, just now, I didn't control my strength, and I almost accidentally injured you. I'm here to offer my apologies."

    The rhinoceros demon chuckled bitterly and said: "Cultivator Chen, you... you... are truly... extraordinarily fierce!"

    Although the monkey demon, the leopard demon, and the brown bear demon didn't say anything, their gaze towards Chen Yun also carried a hint of fear, clearly showing that they were scared.

    Chen Yun was just about to apologize a few more words.

    Suddenly, Gong Juji took a step forward and looked up slightly towards Chen Yun, "Cultivator Chen, the power you just demonstrated has far surpassed my previous estimation. I... I can accompany you in training."

    Its words directly indicate that Chen Yun has obtained the qualifications to challenge.

    Chen Yun, whose Dao Qi was surging up, certainly did not want to interrupt this process now. However, if we consider the power burst from the Dao Qi explosion just now, it seems that if he were to continue fighting against the four demons, he might not be able to activate the Dao Qi as intended and could accidentally injure the four demons instead.

    Now that he saw Gong Juji willing to fight, Chen Yun, filled with fighting spirit, said, "Please, Mountain King, bestow your teachings upon me!"

    Xie Ziran had been standing in mid-air, suspended by the clouds and Dao Qi, without opening his mouth. He merely watched with admiration, seemingly also recognizing Chen Yun's recent display of strength.

    Gong Juji walked slowly forward, leaving trails of rain behind him that seemed to recoil, and the ground beneath his feet trembled lightly. The dark clouds in the sky also seemed to be drawn by some invisible force as they swiftly scattered in all directions.

    The rain suddenly stopped.

    It did not rush to launch an attack, but instead spoke in a gentle voice: "I will not use any demonic powers against you. I will merely use physical strength to fight, and because my body is too powerful, I will only use ten percent of my strength against you."

    "Great Heavens!"

    "Big brother is only going to use ten percent of his strength?"

    "Ahhh, it's clear that Big Brother highly acknowledges Chen Xianzang's strength. Otherwise, he wouldn't be using only ten percent of his strength to fight against you."

    The four demons, the brown bear demon, the monkey demon, and the leopard demon, all wore expressions of shock.

    No one knows how formidable Gong Juji is.

    Even if they've been with him day and night, they should still know his strength.

    Even with just its physical strength, Gong Juji possesses the ability to move mountains and drain seas!

    The ten percent of Gong Juji's physical strength may be even more terrifying than the full-blown power of a common high-level cultivator!

    To put it simply, Chen Yun has already done enough by getting Gong Juji to use only ten percent of his physical strength. He can be proud of this achievement and can brag about it for a year.
