CHAPTER 121
If there's a battle, let's fight!
Facing Lei Jiang, Long Chen did not relax at all.
Compared to Xiong Li, Lei Jiang's strength was actually more than one level higher. Although Lei Li's Harmonious Spirit Body Refining Technique gave him an extremely strong combat power, in fact, he was neglecting the essentials for the sake of trifles, especially when facing an abnormal person like Long Chen.
Long Chen had opened up twenty-three acupoints. If they were to use their Sea of Spiritual Qi, it might be worth watching if they were to fight. However, if they were to fight in close combat, even a cultivator at the third level of the Semi-God Realm might not be able to defeat him.
"Lightning Spirit Whip!"
Lei Jiang's hands danced like the wind. In an instant, a spirit whip with countless lightning veins lashed out. Wherever it passed, the air exploded, and wind and thunder rolled.
Everyone nodded and sighed inwardly. There were no weaklings on the Heaven Roll. Lei Jiang was only at the second level of the Soul Formation Realm, but he was able to use his spiritual power to such a high level. As a result, the power of this Martial Skill was unparalleled.
Long Chen's eyes narrowed, but he didn't face the attack head-on. This Spirit Whip was forcefully activated by the Spirit Qi in this person's Sea of Qi. Just as everyone thought, this attack was probably beyond the combat power of a cultivator at the second level of the Divine Transformation Realm.
When Long Chen used his martial arts technique, his casual strike had a force of nearly thirty thousand kilograms. Although he was comparable to a cultivator at the third layer of the Demigod Realm, he still hadn't condensed his Sea of Qi. If he were to face such a long-range spiritual power technique head-on, he would inevitably lose more than he gained.
Although Long Chen was arrogant, he was not a reckless man.
Thunder Rush Seven Steps!
Long Chen held his sword and retreated rapidly. Not only did he not attack, he even put away his sword.
Crackle!
In an instant, the lightning whips crazily tilted, and the surrounding people subconsciously retreated dozens of meters away. The area around Long Chen was covered in black smoke, and the bluestone under his feet was scorched black. When the spirit whips landed, they left a pit several meters deep!
"What a fast body movement …" Lei Jiang frowned, thinking that Long Chen was not an idiot.
He was at the second level of the Divine Transformation Realm, and the Sea of Qi in his Dantian was a thousand feet wide. However, after using his Spiritual Power like this, his Spiritual Power would dry up in no time.
In fact, Lei Jiang hadn't been on the Heaven Leaderboard for a long time, and he rarely accepted challenges from others. However, once he accepted a challenge, he would usually kill his opponent with lightning speed. Therefore, his reputation on the Heaven Leaderboard was illustrious, and there were very few people who wanted to challenge him.
The reason for this was that although the special martial arts technique he used allowed him to mobilize a large amount of the power in his Sea of Qi, which was enough to kill someone at the third level of the Divine Transformation Realm, it did not last for long.
The main reason was that his Sea of Qi was too small, and his level was too low.
If he had reached the third or fourth level of the Divine Transformation Realm, then perhaps he would have truly mastered this martial art.
"Do you think I can't do anything to you just because you're fast?!" Lei Jiang naturally saw through Long Chen's plan.
Following his cold bellow, the lightning whips in the sky suddenly increased in size once again. At the same time, the lightning whips that were originally as thick as a thumb turned into the size of a needle and thread, covering the sky and earth.
"So strong! Lei Jiang is worthy of being an elite on the Heaven Leaderboard. With this kind of attack, I'm afraid he can even fight against an ordinary person at the third level of the Divine Transformation Realm. "
"This Long Chen's movement technique is also not weak, and I'm afraid it has already reached the Transformation Realm. However, it's obviously not enough to deal with Lei Jiang …"
Looking at the attack that covered the sky like a net, everyone couldn't help but feel shocked.
Only Long Chen wasn't shocked. Instead, he was happy. His movement technique suddenly changed, and he actually leaped into the air.
"Heaven Trampling Seven Steps!"
As Long Chen leaped into the air, he actually moved continuously in the air, and forcibly landed on Lei Jiang.
At the same time, Lei Jiang's attack came crashing down. Unfortunately, Long Chen's figure had already disappeared from the place where he attacked …
"Lose!"
Long Chen swung his sword from top to bottom, and nine sword forces rotated as they shot out.
Lei Jiang's expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly waved two thunder whips to meet the attack. Unfortunately, just as the thread-like thunder whips appeared, his head was sent flying.
Long Chen looked at the dense charred cracks behind him, and thought to himself that this Lei Jiang was worthy of being on the Heaven Leaderboard. If they were on the battle stage, no one at the third level of the Divine Transformation Realm would be able to dodge such an attack.
The Heaven Trampling Seven Steps was a fourth grade martial art of the King Step. Even with Long Chen's current cultivation, he was still able to reach the Transformation Realm. He took advantage of the fact that Lei Jiang had used almost eighty percent of his spiritual energy to launch a sure-kill attack.
After killing Lei Jiang with one strike, Xie Jiushan looked at the head at his feet, and his face turned purple.
The princes behind him all sucked in a breath of cold air, and they stared deeply at the Third Prince. This Long Chen was the Third Prince's guest, and regardless of whether or not he cultivated any unorthodox martial arts.
Just the fact that he was able to kill Lei Jiang at the age of twenty and replace his seventy-third place on the Heaven Leaderboard was enough to shock everyone.
At this moment, the Third Prince looked at Long Chen with a different expression. Ever since Long Chen entered the imperial capital, the Third Prince had taken good care of him, but he had only given him the title of guest. This was so that the First Prince and the General Zhenyuan Mansion would not brazenly attack him.
Now, the talent and strength that Long Chen had displayed truly shocked the Third Prince. The words of the State Preceptor that day appeared in his mind once again … Demons dance wildly, and the Demon Star descends!
Could there really be such a fate in this world?
After Lei Jiang was defeated, Xie Jiushan's face turned ashen. He said in a deep voice, "Whoever fights again and defeats this person will be rewarded with ten King Step elixirs!"
The people behind Xie Jiushan, who had been weighing the pros and cons, became restless at this moment. The value of ten King Step elixirs was still immeasurable. If they had only killed Long Chen and provoked the Third Prince, the price was not unbearable.
On the other hand, although Lei Jiang had been defeated, everyone was very clear about his weaknesses. Long Chen had only taken advantage of these weaknesses. He wasn't ridiculously strong.
"General, I, Cai Huan, am willing to fight. However, I don't know if Long Chen is willing to accept the challenge …" A cold-looking youth with a long face and a long spear in his hand stepped forward. His eyes were filled with playfulness as he stared at Long Chen.
After this person stepped forward, the people behind Xie Jiushan, who had originally intended to step forward, all withdrew their footsteps.
Some people even looked at Long Chen with pity in their eyes.
Cai Huan stared at Long Chen and said indifferently, "I'm ranked 43 on the Heaven Ranking. Since you've defeated Lei Jiang, as long as you break the Empire's record, you'll be ranked 81 on the Heaven Ranking. According to the Black Dragon Empire's rules, Heaven Ranking rankers from the same Empire cannot challenge someone of a lower rank …"
Everyone nodded. There were only so many Heaven Ranking rankers in the entire Empire. Most of them were the elites of the Empire's younger generation. This rule was to protect those who were ranked lower on the Heaven Ranking.
Ranked 43 on the Heaven Ranking!
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. This ranking was probably second to none in the Black Dragon Empire, excluding the less than ten monstrous Imperial Academy students.
He was probably Xie Jiushan's highest ranked ranker on the Heaven Ranking …
Long Chen stared at Xie Jiushan and felt a dangerous aura. This person was definitely not someone Lei Jiang could compare to.
However, ever since he stepped into the Imperial Capital, he had been restricted by the General Zhenyuan Mansion. Today, it was time for him to pay back, even if he had to pay a price.
"If there's a battle, then let's fight!"
