Chapter 409: Chapter 260: Absorbed Too Much Skill_2

The next moment, the Tianqi King found a stunningly beautiful woman in white appear before him. Although the woman was incredibly beautiful, the King no longer had any mind to appreciate her appearance.

The Tianqi King coldly said, “So the rat of Great Sum finally dares to face me directly? After killing so many of my soldiers, I will have you smashed into pieces as a burial sacrifice for my warriors!”

As he spoke, the Tianqi King gripped his axe and swung it towards Chen Wanrong. With a light dodge, Chen Wanrong evaded the Tianqi King’s strike, and the next moment, her figure appeared at his right side, sweeping her sword horizontally.

The Tianqi King blocked Chen Wanrong’s attack with a backhanded swing of his axe. The clash of axe energy and Sword Qi resulted in a loud explosion, creating a huge pit in the ground, and both of their bodies were blasted backward.

Seeing this, Lu Chen was somewhat surprised. Is this what fighting between Grandmasters looks like?

That enormous pit must be at least a dozen meters deep, right? How much gunpowder would it take to create that?

It seemed he had still underestimated the strength of a Grandmaster.

After both Chen Wanrong and the Tianqi King were sent flying, the Tianqi King immediately knelt on one knee, vomiting a mouthful of blood.

He had been bombarded by cannon fire for quite a while, and the True Qi in his body had already been nearly exhausted. Although Chen Wanrong had only recently become a Grandmaster, her Cultivation Technique was quite special, and she had easily mastered the power of a Grandmaster.

Before Chen Wanrong, the Tianqi King was no match at all.

The Tianqi King realized this as well, and slowly stood up from the ground before saying coldly, “Despicable people of Great Sum, if you want to take this king’s life, let’s see if you’re worthy!”

In the midst of talking, the Tianqi King’s eyes seemed to emit two red beams, making him look extremely terrifying. Lu Chen frowned slightly; he wondered if the Tianqi King had entered some kind of berserk state to temporarily increase his skill.

While he pondered this, the Tianqi King kicked off the ground and his body shot forward. Just as he was about to reach Chen Wanrong, he swung his axe – sending a massive wave of axe energy straight for her. Chen Wanrong, sensing that the Tianqi King’s strength had increased significantly, did not try to block his attack and hurriedly dodged.

The next moment, the ground was cleaved open, creating a long gash about a dozen meters deep and two meters wide.

Seeing this chasm created by the Tianqi King, Lu Chen’s perception of a Grandmaster’s power was once again shattered.

At that point, like a madman, the Tianqi King launched another axe attack at Chen Wanrong, who again chose to evade.

Afterward, the Tianqi King chased after Chen Wanrong, swiftly creating countless ravines on the ground. Lu Chen could tell that Chen Wanrong planned to exhaust the Tianqi King’s strength first, waiting until his True Qi was nearly depleted before striking back at him.

This strategy seemed sound, but the Tianqi King probably realized he couldn’t continue attacking mindlessly forever.

Just then, the Tianqi King lunged forward once more, but instead of continuing the pursuit, he charged towards Lu Chen and the others.

The Tianqi King’s plan was simple: if you’re not going to fight me, then I don’t need to waste my time on you. I’ll just go after those distant onlookers, killing one by one. Once enough are dead, that Great Sum woman will have to come out and fight.

Chen Wanrong had seen through the Tianqi King’s intention as well and flashed in front of him, blocking his path. The Tianqi King’s mouth curled slightly, “Keep dodging! Why are you not dodging now?”

As he spoke, the Tianqi King brought his axe down again, but this time, the strike was clearly different from the previous ones.

“One Axe Opens Mountain!!!”

A flicker of concern crossed Lu Chen’s mind – this was the use of a Cultivation Technique, so this axe swing would likely be much more powerful than the previous ones.

This time, however, Chen Wanrong did not dodge; she struck with her sword.

“Snow Flower Sword!!!”

The next moment, the surroundings seemed to be enveloped in ice, and snow appeared to fall from the sky, mixed with countless white flower petals.

Witnessing this, Lu Chen was immensely astonished. Surely, this can no longer be considered mere Martial Arts?

Could Chen Wanrong also be practicing cultivation?

As Lu Chen contemplated this, the Tianqi King’s axe energy and the white Sword Qi collided, instantly exploding. The earth shook and a white cloud of smoke spread rapidly, as if a Cloud Explosion Bomb had been detonated.

Chen Wanrong and the Tianqi King were once again sent flying by the blast wave. Once the smoke cleared, it appeared as if real snowflakes were falling from the sky. Lu Chen reached out his hand to catch them.

He looked up again at the distant Tianqi King, who was half-kneeling on the ground, supported by his axe, spitting blood incessantly.

Chen Wanrong’s condition wasn’t much better – she wasn’t bleeding, but her complexion was deathly pale, clearly a result of excessive depletion of her Spiritual Energy.

At that moment, seeing that Chen Wanrong seemed injured too, the Tianqi King immediately got up and with a kick, dashed straight for her again.

“Even if this king must die, I will take these despicable Great Sum people with me!”

Hearing this, everyone’s faces turned pale; the Tianqi King was planning to self-detonate his Dantian and perish together with them!!!

Mu Changtian immediately warned, “Run! He’s going to take us all down with him!”
