Chapter 532 - 260: Ferocious Might of Horizontal Training
Gong Zhan’s form flickered as he neutralized the rebound force, drifting away gracefully.
The blur of Yang Poman’s great axe and the shadowy afterimages of Li Zhanman’s and Zhou Shaman’s Long Spears were already bearing down on him again.
Chen Cheng wasn’t given a single moment to catch his breath!
’The combat prowess of these four is extraordinary. An ordinary Martial Artist at the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm would likely be cut down in a single blow!’
In a flash, Chen Cheng unleashed his Great Power Realm again, altering the flow of energy around him. He then executed the Wandering Dragon Step and charged toward Li Zhanman!
As if anticipating this, Li Zhanman’s Long Spear erupted with a dense web of afterimages, enveloping Chen Cheng.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The aura of the Great Power Realm clashed with the Killing Realm aura emanating from the Long Spear, erupting with a violent roar!
The impact sent Li Zhanman stumbling backward!
Chen Cheng had no time to press his advantage. He flashed to the side just as the space he’d occupied was torn to shreds by the afterimage of a great axe and another Long Spear.
After only a moment’s pause, Gong Zhan’s Longsword and Li Zhanman’s Long Spear were upon him again, one after the other.
Chen Cheng had no choice but to use the Wandering Dragon Step again, this time attacking Zhou Shaman!
It wasn’t that Chen Cheng didn’t want to focus on a single target; it was that the four were far too seasoned in real combat.
Whenever Chen Cheng managed to force one of them back, the other three would immediately move to protect their comrade.
If Chen Cheng focused his assault on one person, he would have to face the combined might of the other three’s Killing Realms.
His only option was to constantly switch targets, keeping them off-balance and struggling to react.
Of course, with the incredible reaction speed of the four, this strategy was also wearing Chen Cheng down.
For a time, both sides matched speed with speed, locked in a fierce and inseparable struggle.
Dust and smoke billowed across the main road, where afterimages of a great axe raged, dense blurs of spears flew through the air, and the flash of a Longsword was ever-changing and unpredictable.
The very air trembled as thunderous booms echoed one after another!
Chen Cheng moved like a wandering dragon, handling the assault with masterful ease. Yet Yang Poman and his three companions were just as fierce and relentless, not giving up an inch of ground.
They were locked in a surprisingly even match, a true stalemate!
The situation was so perilous that a single misstep—an error of a hair’s breadth—would mean instant death for someone on the field.
The crowd watched with wide eyes, their hearts pounding in their chests. They didn’t even dare to breathe too deeply.
They were afraid that if their rhythm was broken, if their attention wavered for even a second, they would miss the single, decisive moment that would determine victory and defeat—life and death.
Only Xiao Nianci and Xia Lingfeng remained relatively calm.
They had seen long ago that the depth of Chen Cheng’s qi and blood far surpassed that of Yang Poman’s group. Consequently, the power of the Great Power Realm he unleashed was subtly superior to the four’s combined Killing Realm.
Chen Cheng’s Body Technique was also faster than any of theirs. If the four weren’t working together, they would likely be no match for him at all.
"That brat... he really is Zheng Hun’s True Inheritor. To think he’s brought his Horizontal Cultivation Techniques to such a level!"
Xiao Nianci murmured.
Xia Lingfeng grinned and chimed in, "Heh heh, the Border Guards’ Killing Realm is formidable, to be sure, but Horizontal Cultivation Techniques are monstrously powerful on the battlefield too!"
"If I had known Chen Cheng’s Horizontal Cultivation Techniques were this advanced, what the hell was I so worried about!"
Xiao Nianci snorted. "Don’t celebrate too soon, Big-bearded Xia!"
"Don’t forget, there are four of them. They can continuously wear Chen Cheng down."
"Besides, they haven’t even used the power of their Battle Array yet!"
"It’s still uncertain whether Chen Cheng will even survive!"
The words had barely left her lips when Yang Poman and the other three suddenly converged, roaring in unison!
The powerful, domineering aura of the Killing Realm erupted from Yang Poman’s great axe, the Long Spears of Li Zhanman and Zhou Shaman, and Gong Zhan’s Longsword, converging into a single point.
Afterimages of the axe and spears intertwined with the gleam of the sword. A ferocious, overbearing, and incomparably sharp Killing Realm aura took the shape of a massive crescent moon. It blotted out the sky as it slashed toward Chen Cheng at extreme speed!
This was none other than the Mental Realm Combined Attack Skill: Profound Moon Slash!
