Performing the Minor Blood Demon Body Separating Great Art did not feel good at all. All of his qi and blood seemed to be burning, bringing waves of needle-like pain. This kind of pain was getting worse as time went on. Even with Ye Chen's powerful endurance, cold sweat still dripped down from his forehead.
"Kill!"
Ye Chen turned his body, and a blood colored arc flashed through the air. All of a sudden, Ye Chen appeared above the middle-aged man, throwing out a sword attack.
"You are looking for death!"
The middle-aged man recovered from his shock. A sharp killing intent shot out from his eyes as he threw out a fist attack with a burning flame halo towards Ye Chen.
Boom!
A huge part of the cloud layer had been evaporated. Looking down from the cloud layer, there seemed to be a huge hole in the sky. The edge of the hole was filled with fire and thunder.
The terrifying impact sent Ye Chen flying backward. He glided in the air for hundreds of meters before he managed to stop himself. His feet stepped on the misty cloud, and a pale look flashed across his face.
A peak-level Early Astral Reaching Realm warrior was extremely powerful. Even with the combination of Ye Chen's Minor Blood Demon Body Separating Great Art and his Sky Shattering Clouds with his seventy percent sword intent, he would still be at a disadvantage. Plus, the middle-aged man was different from the other masked man who had already died. He had basically not been wounded before. Once he started to burn his zhen yuan, his battling power would be doubled.
"Alright, you and I will take care of him together."
Thunder Freer did not plan to keep the middle-aged man alive, because he knew that he would not be able to do it with his own power. Wounding him was already his limit. But now that Ye Chen had taken out the other masked man, if the two of them worked together, they would have a great chance of winning.
"In your dreams! Taste my Three Colored Fire Fist!"
The middle-aged man roared as all of his clothes started to dance in the air without any wind. Under the burning zhen yuan mode, the edges of his clothes were covered in flames. It looked like he was wearing pieces of dancing flames, looking extremely powerful. On his right fist, a golden flame appeared, burning the air.
"Three Colored Fire Fist?" Ye Chen was a bit surprised. Before, he had felt that he did not have enough battling techniques, so he went to the trading palace of the Martial City to look for a replacement fist art. Among the two fist art manuals that he had his eyes on, one of them was indeed the Three Colored Fire Fist, while the other one was the Five Mountain Godly Fist. The Three Colored Fire Fist was sold for one hundred and seventy thousand low-rank soul stones in the trading palace. There were three movements in total: the fist power of the first movement would be red, the second would be purple, and the third would be gold. Obviously, the masked man had already trained the Three Colored Fire Fist to the highest level.
Although the Three Colored Fire Fist Art was a mid-rank Earth Realm fist art, and its rank was not that high, but in the South Rudra Region, normal Astral Reaching Realm warriors rarely had martial arts above mid-rank Earth Realm. A high-rank Earth Realm martial art was priceless, and only the Astral Reaching Realm warriors from rank 6 martial institutions and rank 7 martial institutions had the money to buy it. Plus, even if you had the money, you might not be able to buy it, since there were so many Astral Reaching Realm warriors in the South Rudra Region, and martial arts above mid-rank Earth Realm were extremely rare. In this situation, it would be impossible for every Astral Reaching Realm warrior to have a martial art above mid-rank Earth Realm.
But of course, mid-rank Earth Realm martial arts were two different concepts in the hands of Clasping Yuan Realm warriors and Astral Reaching Realm warriors. Clasping Yuan Realm warriors used zhen Qi to perform their martial arts, while Astral Reaching Realm warriors used zhen yuan. This alone was like a huge gap that could not be crossed. Plus, because of the high cultivation of Astral Reaching Realm warriors, they would be able to perform their martial arts to the extreme, and their martial poetic perspective would be a whole level higher than that of Clasping Yuan Realm warriors. In the Hidden Dragon Rank competitions, Ye Chen's sword poetic perspective was just like that of an Astral Reaching Realm warrior, which had already shocked a lot of people.
Therefore, even if a Clasping Yuan Realm warrior had a top rank Earth Realm martial art, he would still not be able to compete with an Astral Reaching Realm warrior who had used a mid-rank Earth Realm martial art. Even more extreme, an Astral Reaching Realm warrior could easily kill a Clasping Yuan Realm warrior without using any martial arts. As for martial geniuses like Ye Chen and Sikong Sheng, who could fight against people who were a whole level higher than them, they could be counted as special cases.
The Three Colored Fire Fist Art was one of the top mid-rank Earth Realm martial arts. Performed by the masked man, that rich golden flame had raised the temperature of the area rapidly. It was like a fire qi field had formed in that area, and anyone who entered the qi field would be greatly affected.
"Haha, I can't kill you, but I can kill him." The masked man could tell that Ye Chen had used a martial art that could increase his battling power. Normally, this kind of martial art would not last long, and it would also cause a lot of damage to the user. He did not believe that Ye Chen would be able to use it forever.
"In front of me, Thunder Freer, you will not be able to kill anyone. Heavenly Thunder Battle Armor!" Thunder Freer sneered. His burning protective Zhen yuan shrunk and condensed into a battle armor that was full of thunder and lightning. Two light arcs extended out from the back of the battle armor. At the place where the light arcs intersected, a bowl-sized thunder bead started to condense. The electric arcs that were spreading out from it started to make cracking noises.
The martial art that came with the Heavenly Thunder Great Art – the Heavenly Thunder Battle Armor!
Thunder Freer had a great adventure in his early years. He had found a set of martial art, the Heavenly Thunder Great Art, which contained a martial art, a defensive martial skill, and a battling martial skill. Judging only the effect of increasing battling power, it was almost as powerful as a normal high-rank Earth Realm martial art. Excluding the Early Astral Reaching Realm warriors from the super martial institutions, with the power of the Heavenly Thunder Great Art, Thunder Freer would definitely be one of the most powerful Early Astral Reaching Realm warriors.
"I will kill you first." Thunder Freer's toughness was out of the masked man's expectation. His body flashed, and he rushed towards Ye Chen with a straight fire wave.
Pap!
After the Heavenly Thunder Battle Armor had been condensed, Thunder Freer's speed had been pushed to its limit. An electric arc exploded, and his whole body appeared in front of the masked man within a second. He threw out a claw attack.
"So fast! But so what? Back out now!"
Raising up his fist that was wrapped in golden flame, the masked man clenched his teeth and threw out an attack towards Thunder Freer.
Boom! A huge sound was heard as both of them were blown back.
Right then, Ye Chen moved.
He looked like a bloody battle god. He took a step forward, ignoring the distance between him and the masked man as he threw out a sword attack.
"Kill Heart!"
The Kill Heart was a combination of the Lone Peak Kill and the One Sword Attack. It could be used for both close-range and long-range attacks. Relatively speaking, close-range attacks were more powerful. Under the cover of the Kill poetic perspective, warriors with the same cultivation would not be able to block it out at all. Even Astral Reaching Realm warriors would not be able to ignore this poetic perspective.
Pooh!
The burning protective Zhen yuan had been punctured through, and an egg-sized bloody hole appeared on the masked man's shoulder. It was perfectly round, and blood kept pouring out of it.
The masked man screamed and hurried to back out, increasing the distance between them.
"What a shame! Just a little bit more." Ye Chen's soul power had been searching for the flaws of the masked man all the time. Before, when the masked man was battling with Thunder Freer, his flawless protective Zhen yuan had been slightly unstable, which gave Ye Chen the chance to throw out a sword attack. However, Astral Reaching Realm warriors had extremely powerful mental power, and the Kill poetic perspective could not affect his mind completely. Therefore, Ye Chen managed to avoid the fatal attack.
Since his sword attack had failed, Ye Chen looked around and noticed that Thunder Freer was preparing for another Thunder Attack. He understood what he meant, so he attacked towards the masked man again.
"You are too much! Go away!"
After being hit on the shoulder by Ye Chen, the masked man's face turned red and then white. It was an expression of anger. He threw out his Three Colored Fire Fist, and a golden flame wave shot up into the sky.
Waving his sword, Ye Chen suddenly backed out for dozens of meters.
The next second!
A tens of meters long, dark blue lightning bolt shot out from Thunder Freer's direction. The lightning bolt was as thick as two fingers, and it started from the thunder pearl where the two light arcs intersected on Thunder Freer's back, and ended at the masked middle-aged man's body. With a loud boom, the masked middle-aged man was blown hundreds of meters away by the dark blue lightning bolt. Along the way, the clouds were burned into a straight line, leaving a trail behind.
After landing his first attack, Thunder Freer followed up. The Thunder Pearl on his back continued to prepare, shooting out the second dark blue lightning, which landed on the masked man's body.
The masked man had been beaten until he puked out blood. He had underestimated Thunder Freer and Ye Chen. He thought that even if he could not kill Ye Chen, he would still be able to escape unscathed. After all, his cultivation was still there, and his battling power had already been pushed to its limit.
"Sky Thunder Attack!"
The color of the armor on his body started to dim down. Thunder Freer took a deep breath and pushed his thunder element zhen Qi, gathering all of the power on the armor into the Thunder Pearl. He threw out the last attack at the cost of the Thunder Pearl exploding, which was also his most powerful attack.
Boom!
The lightning went straight through the masked man's protective zhen yuan and pierced through his chest. However, not even a single drop of blood came out.
"I don't want to die like this!"
The masked man felt a strong sense of regret. He regretted taking on such a tricky task, regretted not backing out immediately, and regretted underestimating Ye Chen once again. If it were not for Ye Chen, Thunder Freer would not have had the chance to hit him so easily in a one on one battle. One wrong move, and everything after that, he would have to pay with his life.
"Even if I die, one of you will have to die with me!" Right then, running away was impossible. The masked man did not care about his fatal wound and burned his zhen yuan to its peak. His body turned into a flame as he jumped towards Ye Chen, planning to drag one of them down with him before he died.
Ye Chen's expression did not change as he performed his Separating Shadow Flying Art. As the wind blew, he disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already on the right side of the masked man.
He threw out a sword attack, and the Kill Heart Sword Qi burst out.
Pooh!
The masked man's neck twisted, and his eyes lost the color of life. After being attacked for so many times, his battling power had decreased drastically, and he could no longer handle Ye Chen's Kill Heart Sword Attack.
Seeing the death of the masked man with his own eyes, Ye Chen let out a heavy breath of blood Qi. The side effect of the Minor Blood Demon Body Separating Great Art was extremely huge. It was all thanks to the Blood Sun Flower that he was able to last until now. However, the Blood Sun Flower could only make up for one side of the side effect, since the qi and blood of the flesh were different from zhen Qi. It was not as simple as using a little bit to make up for it. There was still an extremely complicated conversion process involved.
After releasing the Minor Blood Demon Body Separating Great Art, Ye Chen's face was extremely pale, and he looked a bit exhausted. After swallowing a soul replenishing pellet, Ye Chen looked over at Thunder Freer, who seemed to be in a slightly better condition than him. That Sky Thunder Attack had used up a lot of his zhen Qi, and he was currently swallowing pellets to replenish his zhen Qi.
The two looked at each other and forced a smile. Killing a peak-level Early Astral Reaching Realm warrior was way more difficult than they had expected. The higher the cultivation, the harder it would be to kill.
