Chapter 95: Fighting Tiangang
The two moved with extreme speed, sonic booms erupting from their fists as their figures blurred across the courtyard, weaving and dodging.
An ordinary person's eyes couldn't possibly keep up with their speed.
Among the spectators, only Huang Cheng, a Grandmaster, could barely make out the details of their exchange.
After another fierce collision, the two separated.
Chen Dong landed and rubbed his wrist.
Luo Tengfei landed and stumbled back three steps, each footfall gouging a small crater in the ground.
The Huang Family was in disbelief. Not only had Chen Dong not been immediately crushed by the Celestial Spirit Powerhouse, but he was actually fighting him head-on. More incredibly, it seemed Chen Dong even had a slight advantage.
Terror filled Huang Cheng's eyes. He knew Chen Dong was strong; even as a Grandmaster, he had never planned to confront Chen Dong directly. But he hadn't expected Chen Dong to be *this* strong. With his keen sight, he could clearly see that Chen Dong was the one pressing the attack on Luo Tengfei. He couldn't help but wonder, 'Could Chen Dong possibly be in the Celestial Spirit Realm at such a young age?'
Luo Tengfei was even more shocked. He and Chen Dong had exchanged eight blows, and though he claimed to be probing, he had been constrained with every move. He could clearly sense that Chen Dong had yet to reveal his true power; there was more to his strength than this.
If they had met by chance in the wild, he would have already considered retreating. But now, he was here by invitation of the Huang Family. How could he back down without using his true abilities?
In contrast to Chen Dong's relaxed expression, Luo Tengfei's grew grim. The True Qi in his body surged, forming a layer of Protective Celestial Spirits that coalesced over his skin.
The onlookers were suddenly hit by an immense pressure that made it difficult to breathe.
But Chen Dong just said lightly, "Now this is more like it. Why hold back? Show me your true power. Then this might get a little interesting."
Hearing this, a savage look flashed across Luo Tengfei's face. "Kid, watch closely. I'm about to show you the meaning of Celestial Spirit!"
The muscles on Luo Tengfei's arms bulged. BANG! With a thunderous crack, his figure vanished from sight.
Still smiling faintly, Chen Dong simply leaned aside, dodging Luo Tengfei's power-packed punch. The large iron gate, a dozen meters behind him, crashed to the ground in response!
The members of the Huang Family watched in terror, their faces a mixture of anger and fear. 'A gate that far away was blown down… it's too dangerous here!' they thought. 'If that punch landed on a person, they'd be killed instantly!' They scrambled backward in a panic.
His first strike having missed, Luo Tengfei brought his fists together. His entire being seemed to form a precise, circular whole as his aura skyrocketed. His fists became a blur of afterimages, unleashing a cannon-like barrage.
Chen Dong used a Seven Star footwork pattern to instantly break free of Luo Tengfei's spiritual lock, concentrating True Qi to a single point in his hand.
The cannon-like punch grazed the collar of Chen Dong's clothes, hitting nothing but air. The force of the blow slammed into one of the Huang Family's large ornamental trees, causing it to explode in a shower of splinters.
At that same moment, Chen Dong jabbed a finger toward Luo Tengfei.
Luo Tengfei sneered internally. 'Trying to break my Protective Celestial Spirits with a mere finger technique? That's ridiculous!'
But Chen Dong's finger jab was like a blot of black in the purest white, a flash of light in the deepest darkness—utterly startling and abrupt.
As Luo Tengfei watched with supreme confidence, his Protective Celestial Spirits were effortlessly pierced by Chen Dong's finger, and a bloody hole instantly appeared on his shoulder.
'Impossible! Absolutely impossible! This kid hasn't even completed his Qi Refining, how could he possibly pierce my Protective Celestial Spirits?'
But the pain in his shoulder and the bizarre True Qi lingering in the wound reminded Luo Tengfei that it was all too real.
The members of the Huang Family, watching from a safe distance, were stunned speechless when they saw the blood on Luo Tengfei's shoulder. 'He's a Celestial Spirit Powerhouse, yet that kid Chen Dong actually managed to wound him!' Fear began to creep into their hearts. If even Luo Tengfei couldn't defeat Chen Dong, then their Huang Family would be annihilated in Jiangzhou, just like the Sun Family.
Huang Cheng's earlier composure and confidence were long gone, replaced by a face full of sinister malice. 'I absolutely cannot let Chen Dong win,' he thought. He tightened his grip on the short sword Magical Artifact hidden in his sleeve and began to quietly approach the two men on the battlefield.
Faced with another of Chen Dong's finger attacks, Luo Tengfei no longer dared to meet it head-on. He dodged back two steps and crossed his arms, the muscles swelling again. His face was a mask of agony and ferocity. He thrust his arm toward Chen Dong, a motion like a giant ape plucking a star from the sky.
Afterimages overlapped, but Luo Tengfei's strike grasped only empty air. As an experienced warrior, Luo Tengfei showed no sign of disappointment or panic, because his true killing blow was the second claw. Infused with even greater True Qi, its fingertips were sharp enough to tear through gold and shatter stone, a massive hand that seemed capable of grasping anything!
Chen Dong didn't dodge this time. His sharp brows furrowed as he whispered, "Shocking Extreme Finger!"
Claw versus finger, separated by a hair's breadth!
A beam of light from the finger pierced straight through Luo Tengfei's entire arm!
Luo Tengfei could no longer feel his arm. That last hair's breadth would never be crossed. His entire arm hung limp at his side.
In that same split second, Huang Cheng—thirty paces away from Chen Dong and hidden behind a large tree—activated the short sword in his hand. The blade flew with extreme stealth, aimed at Chen Dong's back, right where his heart was.
Chen Dong, having just crippled Luo Tengfei's arm, raised an eyebrow. Lightning flashed in his other hand. With a BOOM, a bolt of Celestial Thunder descended instantly, striking the short sword and blasting it away.
Chen Dong shot a contemptuous glance toward the large tree where Huang Cheng was hiding, and the lightning in his hand flared again.
Huang Cheng panicked, desperate to dodge, but how could he be faster than Celestial Thunder? He was instantly struck and sent flying, landing in a crumpled heap. He was grievously injured, vomiting blood, and couldn't even crawl. It was only because he had reacted quickly enough to avoid a fatal blow that he was still alive; otherwise, the strike would have killed him instantly.
Chen Dong chuckled, about to summon another bolt to finish Huang Cheng off.
Huang Biehe and Luo Tengfei both shouted in a panic, "Wait! Don't kill him!"
