Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Playing the Last Card
“`

Hu! Hu! Hu!

Ten fireballs ablaze with fierce flames simultaneously bombarded Lv Defang.

“Child’s play!”

Lv Defang revealed a look of disdain, brandishing his robe with a swing of his arm.

The sleeve of his robe instantly stretched out several feet like flowing clouds, sweeping up a hazy spiritual light as it slapped at the rapidly approaching meteor fireballs with extreme grace.

He looked every bit the Dao-master effortlessly handling the situation!

However, the next moment, this cultivator of Complete Qi Cultivation suddenly changed expression.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One after another, the fireballs were all burst by Lv Defang’s billowing sleeves.

But when dispersing the fifth fireball, the flow of mana within his body suddenly encountered a trace of stagnation, and at the same time, his mind felt slightly dizzy, his consciousness blurring for an instant.

As a result, Lv Defang failed to successfully intercept the remaining fireballs, hastily sidestepping to dodge and retracting his robe sleeves to block, narrowly avoiding being engulfed by the flames.

His movements were particularly awkward, the former air of a master gone completely.

And that was not all.

His expensive robe, specifically on the right sleeve, was already scorched and severely damaged!

“Dammit!”

Lv Defang, having his defenses breached, couldn’t help but curse furiously, “You little beast, how dare you use poison!”

He was also an experienced old hand in the martial world, never having imagined that in dealing with a mere eighteen-year-old youth, he would nearly capsize in the gutter.

It was an utter and disgraceful humiliation!

As he cursed, Lv Defang hurriedly fished out a detoxifying pill from his storage bag and stuffed it into his mouth.

At the same time, he activated his mana to cleanse the strangeness within his body.

Meanwhile, Wang Chen, after releasing ten Meteor Fire Talismans, immediately swung his fist upward with a punch.

Using his body as the bow and his punch as the arrow, he concentrated all his Qi-blood and mana.

He unleashed the Vajra Fist with the power of his Heavenly Dragon Body.

And in one fell swoop, shattered the massive palm bearing down upon him!

Boom!

Fist against palm, the ground shook and mountains trembled; the entire great hall quaked, and countless specks of dust fluttered down!

Lv Defang just happened to witness this earth-shattering scene, his eyes bulging with rage, his entire face distorted.

The detoxifying pill in his hand lost all its appeal.

“You little beast, to deceive me!”

The last time he saw Wang Chen, the latter was at the fourth tier of Qi Cultivation.

Seeing Wang Chen again tonight, the aura of mana revealed by the latter seemed about the fifth tier.

Even so, Lv Defang was inwardly shocked—Wang Chen’s progression was too rapid!

Yet he couldn’t have dreamed that Wang Chen was also concealing his true strength.

This punch clearly possessed the might of a high-tier Qi Cultivation practitioner!

The most important part was that his proficiency in the Spiritual Perception Technique was not shallow; earlier he had been unable to see through Wang Chen’s real cultivation level.

How could this be possible?

Lv Defang’s first reaction was disbelief.

Even the gifted elites within his sect did not advance at such a speed.

Unless they were bolstered by large quantities of high-quality pills or heavenly treasures.

Wang Chen did not possess such conditions, and his cultivation realm appeared very solid and stable, ruling out these possibilities.

That left only one explanation…

A startling gleam shone in Lv Defang’s eyes.

Treasure!

His guess from years ago was not mistaken; Wang Shaoyuan had indeed obtained a precious item in that secret realm.

And he had passed this treasure on to Wang Chen!

Wang Chen suddenly blossoming, suddenly growing wiser, advancing rapidly in his realm…

All of this now had the most plausible explanation.

Although Lv Defang was unaware,

how the young Wang Chen managed to conceal such a huge secret from his sophisticated tactics.

But it didn’t matter, the treasure would now be his.

This is… my treasure!

Mine!!!

Years of obsession and endless greed transformed Lv Defang’s expression entirely.

He was utterly oblivious.

“`

The black shadow behind him was silently and violently contorting, resembling the ferocious ghost of a grievance!

“Die!”

Wang Chen, who had just shattered his opponent’s spell, noticed the brief moment of hesitation and stupor in his formidable adversary.

In battles between cultivators, life and death hung by a thread; how could he miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Wang Chen immediately took a deep breath, inhaling the crushed Sobering Pill smeared on his philtrum into his nostrils.

The spicy stimulation made his mind incredibly clear.

With his right index and middle fingers together, Wang Chen unhesitatingly thrust out with the Geng Metal Finger toward Lv Defang.

Grandmaster-level Geng Metal Finger!

A golden qi glow, thick as three fingers and sharp to the extreme, shot out from his fingertips. It traversed the thirty-step distance in a flash and hit Lv Defang squarely in the face with the speed of lightning.

His body protection magical armor was broken in one strike.

But at the critical moment when the force of the Geng Metal Finger was about to pierce his skull, a jade pendant hanging from Lv Defang’s waist suddenly shattered.

A flash of spiritual light passed by.

It actually neutralized the fatal blow of the Geng Metal Finger!

However, the ace up Wang Chen’s sleeve for his formidable enemy was the subsequent Ruyi Golden Needle.

Phut!

The moment the force of the Geng Metal Finger dissipated, the golden needle penetrated Lv Defang’s left eye.

“Aah!”

The cultivator at the Complete Qi Cultivation realm let out a piercing scream.

His head jerked to the left, and the Golden Needle flew out from underneath his temple.

He narrowly avoided the fate of being pierced through the brain by the flying needle!

Nevertheless, Lv Defang’s left eye was ruined, and the side of his head was also injured by the force contained in the Ruyi Golden Needle.

In agony, he entered a state of madness.

“You little beast!”

He roared furiously, reaching out to grab and activate an amulet for body protection.

At the same time, he lifted his right hand high and struck out at Wang Chen with a Yellow Jade Seal!

“Pfft!”

The next moment, Lv Defang spat out a mouthful of essence blood.

The blood, filled with pure mana, was completely absorbed by the seal in an instant. It expanded a hundredfold in volume within a few breaths and then bore down on Wang Chen with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai looming above!

Wang Chen instinctively sensed great danger and tried to dodge.

But as soon as the light emitted by the seal touched him, his entire body felt like it was sinking into mud, and he could hardly lift his feet.

There was no escape!

Wang Chen could only bellow as he fortified himself with the Mighty Strength Technique, raising his palms to activate the Spiritual Light Shield and bear the crushing weight of the incoming seal!

In that moment, he endured an unimaginable heavy pressure, and the bones throughout his body emitted crisp cracking sounds.

Barely holding on for a moment, Wang Chen’s eyes, ears, nose, and mouth began to bleed crimson blood.

The Spiritual Light Shield was rapidly fading, on the verge of collapse at any moment!

His boots burst apart, and his feet were already deeply embedded in the solid floor tiles.

If it weren’t for the Grandmaster-level Mighty Strength Technique, the Grandmaster-level Spiritual Light Shield Armor, and the Heavenly Dragon Body of the Golden Body tier.

Then under the suppression of this powerful magical artifact,

Wang Chen would have already been completely obliterated.

Reduced to a pile of mush!

Even so, anyone could see that he could not hold on for much longer.

“You little beast, you’re as good as dead!”

Lv Defang bellowed furiously, his fresh blood mixed with white froth, continuously spilling from his left eye.

This cultivator at the Complete Qi Cultivation realm was also exerting his utmost effort, controlling the Yellow Jade Seal to crush Wang Chen.

Only one thought occupied his mind.

And that was to kill Wang Chen!

Bang!

Right at this moment, the temple doors burst open.

A long Rotten Silver Spear accompanied by a storm charged into the hall, piercing toward Lv Defang’s back with the agility of a dragon.

Unstoppable and with the momentum of a rainbow!

Phut!!
