Chapter 1622 - 1623: Phoenix Bloodline
"Possession by Ten Thousand Ghosts is a Cultivation Technique that was once classified as a Forbidden Technique. The reason is that this Cultivation Technique uses the souls of the dead as a guide to continuously enhance physical strength, allowing the user's combat power to reach its peak. It is said that those who use this Secret Technique lose their sense of pain, akin to walking corpses." Xu Guang took a deep breath and said.
Upon hearing Xu Guang's words, Xu Wei's brows furrowed tightly.
"It seems Lin Chen will inevitably face a fierce battle to defeat Sun Bai."
At this moment, all the members of the Xu family felt their hearts leap.
Because now Lin Chen is their only hope, and the opponent he faces is indeed overwhelmingly strong.
"I didn't expect Lin Chen to push Sun Bai to use this move," a Sun family elder said, furrowing his brow.
"I said before, this Lin Chen is a very troublesome guy to deal with. Even if Sun Bai uses his ultimate move, it will still be a tough battle to defeat Lin Chen," the squat Tiger next to him looked at the stage and said gravely.
On the Wang family's stage, Wang Hui's gaze slightly narrowed as he looked at Sun Bai, whose body was constantly swelling on the platform.
"I didn't expect that brat Sun Bai to have mastered such an peculiar Cultivation Technique. Luckily, it's the unlucky guy who encountered him, otherwise, I might have had a tough fight myself!"
"Brother, you must avenge me," Wang Ming said, glaring venomously at Lin Chen.
Wang Hui sneered, "I'm afraid you won't need to worry, as it seems like he will have a hard time just getting past Sun Bai."
Crack, crack.
Under everyone's shock-filled gaze, the red and black light on Sun Bai suddenly radiated out, and then a huge figure appeared in front of everyone.
Sun Bai stood over three meters tall, and his physique was much stronger than before.
What was even more shocking was that there wasn't a hint of vitality in this figure, as if it were a corpse.
Streams of black Qi spread around the body, giving off an extremely eerie feeling.
At this moment, Sun Bai's face was utterly devoid of color, as pale as paper.
His appearance was incredibly gruesome, resembling a demon emerging from hell rather than a human being.
As Lin Chen watched Sun Bai's aura surge abruptly, his gaze became somber.
This guy is truly desperate, willing to practice such sinister Cultivation Techniques.
"Boy, I told you, today you will surely die by my hand."
In Sun Bai's bloodshot eyes, blood light flickered; he was immensely excited by the powerful energy surging within him.
He felt his strength could even rival the realm of an Immortal King, especially with that terrifying power, making him quite eager to engage Lin Chen in battle.
"Boy, remember in your next life not to offend those you shouldn't."
As his words fell, Sun Bai's body suddenly transformed into a phantom, pouncing towards Lin Chen.
Lin Chen felt a chilling aura suddenly strike from the front, causing his pupils to contract sharply. Reflexively, he crossed his arms in front of his chest to block.
"Bang!"
Almost simultaneously, Sun Bai's figure appeared in front of Lin Chen, directly swinging his fist heavily onto Lin Chen's arms.
Lin Chen felt a violent energy pour into his body.
"Boom!"
Although Lin Chen had blocked with his arms, he was still sent flying heavily by Sun Bai's powerful punch.
Lin Chen barely managed to stop his momentum at the edge of the platform.
His arms almost felt like they were broken, radiating intense pain.
"Boy, you actually managed to block my punch. That certainly makes me look at you in a new light!"
Sun Bai looked at Lin Chen, whom he had knocked flying, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
This punch of his had the force of a thousand pounds. If it were a normal Martial Artist, even one in the mid-stage of the Immortal King realm, their chest would likely have been pierced through.
However, it was obvious that this punch didn't seem to have caused much injury to Lin Chen.
"Boy, this is just the beginning. I want to see how many more of such attacks you can withstand."
Sun Bai smirked at Lin Chen, cracking his knuckles as he walked towards Lin Chen.
In his mind, Lin Chen was like a fish on a chopping board, at his mercy.
Now, his power was comparable to that of an Immortal King realm; no matter how strong Lin Chen was, surely he couldn't reach the level of an Immortal King.
Lin Chen shook his numbed arms and took a deep breath, but his face did not show any panic. Instead, a faint smile appeared.
"Indeed, your fists are quite hard, but relying on such sinister Cultivation Techniques to defeat me is still far from enough."
As his words dropped, a surge of all energies suddenly emitted from Lin Chen's body.
"If it were someone else, they might not be able to counter you, but for me, this brute strength of yours means nothing."
Boom!
Accompanied by a phoenix's cry, under countless shocked gazes, a red light enveloped Lin Chen, and behind him, a phoenix appeared.
"Could this boy have the Phoenix Bloodline?"
Seeing the phoenix behind Lin Chen, there was an uproar around.
Almost everyone was dumbfounded as they stared at the fire phoenix that appeared behind Lin Chen.
No wonder this kid could withstand Sun Bai's punch post-transformation; it turns out he possesses the Phoenix Bloodline.
"No wonder this kid is so strong; he's from the Phoenix Clan," Xu Guang couldn't help but sigh.
"Phoenix Clan?" Looking at Lin Chen on the platform, a bitter smile appeared on Xu Wei's face.
To be honest, she liked Lin Chen, but now it seemed she was beyond his reach.
"How could it be possible, how could this boy be from the Phoenix Clan?" Sun Bai's face instantly turned unsightly.
Because on Lin Chen's body, he felt a sense of danger, especially the aura emanating from Lin Chen, which tightly suppressed the sinister Qi on him.
"Boy, what good is having a phoenix body? In the face of my Possession by Ten Thousand Ghosts, even an ancient physique like yours must perish."
Sun Bai's face instantly became extremely ferocious, as a chilling energy suddenly emitted from his body.
His blood blade was shrouded in sinister Qi, and all that dark energy was converging on it.
"Die!"
Along with a roar, the blood blade enshrouded in sinister Qi tore through the sky, accompanied by terrifying wailing sounds, slashing directly towards Lin Chen.
Lin Chen's gaze slightly narrowed as he watched the slash enveloped in sinister Qi, a look of disdain appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"With just this little bit of skill, you dare think you can kill me. It's truly too naive."
As the words fell, all energies spread in Lin Chen's palm, and the Tianyan Ancient Sword in his hand moved slowly.
"Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens!"
Just as the blood-red slash was about to strike down, Lin Chen suddenly soared into the air.
Under countless watches, Lin Chen wielded the Tianyan Ancient Sword in a mysterious pattern, thrusting it towards the slash.
"Boom!"
As the two attacks collided, the entire martial arena fell into silence.
However, this silence lasted just a few seconds, as the blood-red slash was chopped into several pieces by Lin Chen's Sword Qi.
It didn't stop there—the sword light continued to sweep toward Sun Bai.
