Chapter 197: Might of the Physical Body
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Boom!
Duke Qi, who was at the late stage of the Nirvana Realm, attacked with his full power to meet Su Chen’s attack.
However…
He did not gain any advantage, and both his palms shattered in the void.
“Hmm?”
In the sky, Duke Qi stood tall and proud, the wind blowing his robes fluttering loudly.
His pitch-black eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Su Chen below. His expression was solemn as he muttered in a low voice, “This… This is the Nine Transformations Golden Body Art of the Little Thunderclap Temple?”
He had seen the Nine Transformations Golden Body Art, one of the two saint-level upper-rank cultivation methods of the Little Thunderclap Temple.
A hundred years ago, he had also participated in the battle to destroy the Little Thunderclap Temple. He had seen an eminent monk use this saint-level upper-rank divine power.
Below the Saint Realm, it was very difficult for anyone to break through the physical defense of the Nine Transformations Golden Body Art.
Under normal circumstances, the Little Thunderclap Temple only allowed eminent monks of the Spirit Sea Realm to cultivate it.
But even so, there were still not many monks who could quickly grasp it.
Right now, Su Chen had only been missing for half a year.
However, judging from the power circulating on his body…
His Nine Transformations Golden Body Art seemed to have reached small attainment?
This speed was simply unbelievable!
One had to know that the Nine Transformations Golden Body Art was a saint-level upper-rank divine power!
Even a Quasi-Saint Realm expert would find it very difficult to comprehend.
Su Chen was only at the peak stage of the Nirvana Realm!
How could he cultivate a saint-level upper-rank divine power to small attainment in just half a year?
How heaven-defying was his comprehension ability?
“Your insight is impressive,” Su Chen said indifferently.
Buzz…
The void fluctuated.
The Azure Dragon Sword appeared, its snow-white blade flickering with cold light.
Terrifying killing intent wildly spread from the Azure Dragon Sword, instantly enveloping hundreds of miles.
Su Chen held the Azure Dragon Sword in his hand, and his aura changed.
Faintly, it was as if an aura capable of destroying all things permeated the air.
“A Dao weapon!”
Duke Qi’s heart sank.
Since Su Chen had taken out his Dao weapon…
This proved that one of them must die in this battle!
“It seems that Dashang’s understanding of you is still too lacking!”
Duke Qi said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, a snow-white thin sword appeared in his hand as he charged at Su Chen.
Clang!
Su Chen did not fear in the slightest. Stepping into the sky, the Azure Dragon Sword in his hand drew a profound trajectory as it collided with the thin sword.
In an instant, sparks flew in all directions, the clanging of metal resounding.
Endless power swept in all directions.
The mountains were forcibly shattered into dust, with the two fighters at the center.
The area within a radius of a thousand miles was in an uproar!
Beneath the heavens, the two figures collided, a shocking battle unfolding.
Su Chen immediately circulated the Nine Transformations Golden Body Art and clashed with Duke Qi with his physical strength.
He had long wanted to test the power of the Nine Transformations Golden Body Art. It was just right to test it on Duke Qi.
Although Su Chen’s Nine Transformations Golden Body Art only reached small attainment, Duke Qi still had no chance of winning.
Boom!
A loud bang rang out.
Amidst the dazzling radiance filling the sky, Duke Qi was sent flying.
Su Chen followed behind Duke Qi unhurriedly.
Swoosh!
With a single step, he instantly arrived at Duke Qi’s side, the Azure Dragon Sword sweeping out.
Crash!
The world was instantly shrouded in darkness.
The surrounding mountains and rivers trembled at this moment.
Beams of divine light slashed out.
Each stretched dozens of feet long, shooting forth with boundless radiance.
Before even nearing, an eerie feeling was evoked.
“This… How is this possible?”
Duke Qi was shocked.
He couldn’t believe that Su Chen could be so powerful relying on just his physical strength.
Logically speaking, in a situation where Su Chen did not use his spiritual energy, although he could not gain an advantage, he should not have fallen so far behind!
But now, the truth was right there, and he had no choice but to believe it.
In clashing with Su Chen, he had been completely suppressed.
He was afraid that he would be completely defeated after a period of time!
“Don’t be careless!”
Duke Qi casually shattered a few sword auras around him.
After that, a jade slip appeared in his palm and he quickly typed out two messages.
The other two Dukes were not far away.
As long as he could hold on for a while, and Su Chen did not use his spiritual energy, when the other two Dukes arrived, at that time the three of them combined forces would definitely be able to kill Su Chen.
At the same time, a hundred miles away in the void, an old man in a gray robe was holding two bloody heads in his hands. He restrained all his aura and stood in an extremely hidden space. His pitch-black eyes were staring at the battle not far away.
“He is able to fight with a late-stage Nirvana Realm expert to such an extent just by relying on his physical strength… Isn’t this Su Chen a little too terrifying?”
The old man muttered to himself.
He couldn’t believe what was happening in front of him.
“I said long ago Young Mistress worries too much. Now it seems I was right. Even without me, the Great Mystery Holy Son can still defeat these three Dukes!”
The old man lowered his head and looked at the two bloody heads in his hands. His face was somewhat helpless.
In order to end the battle quickly and not attract the attention of others, he used almost all his strength when fighting against these two Dukes.
Although he had killed the two Dukes very quickly, he had also suffered some injuries.
“However…”
The old man smiled and muttered, “It was all worth it!”
Even if the Dashang Empire’s Dukes were hereditary, ordinary people couldn’t compare with them.
Every single one of them was at the late stage or even the peak stage of the Nirvana Realm!
There were even Quasi-Saint Realm experts among them!
However, Su Chen was able to suppress his opponent with just his physical strength.
This showed Su Chen’s potential.
There was no doubt that he would become a saint in the future.
As long as Su Chen could successfully break through to the Saint Realm, at that time, with this support, there would be fewer obstacles on his young mistress’s path to becoming Dashang’s Empress.
Dismissing these thoughts, the old man gazed at the battlefield not far away and muttered, “if nothing goes wrong, Duke Qi is about to escape!”
The two helpers of Duke Qi had yet to arrive.
He would naturally sense that something was wrong.
However, he was no match for Su Chen. He had no other choice but to run for his life.
Clang!
The sounds of clashing weapons rang out once more, shaking the surroundings.
Duke Qi retreated rapidly in midair.
His right thumb web had cracked open, blood dripping nonstop. Shock filled his eyes.
“So powerful!”
Duke Qi could not help but panic.
Up until now, Su Chen still hadn’t utilized any spiritual power, yet had already completely suppressed him.
Was this the power of the small-attainment-level Nine Transformations Golden Body Art?
“Why haven’t Duke Wang and Duke Liu arrived yet?”
Duke Qi was extremely anxious. While dealing with Su Chen’s moves, he spread out his divine sense and continuously observed his surroundings.
However, after the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he still did not see any traces of the two Dukes, as if they had not rushed over at all.
“Could it be that they are like me, planning to take all the credit themselves from the beginning?”
For some reason, Duke Qi suddenly thought of this..
