Chapter 244: One Against Five
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“I alone will suffice!”
These words from Su Chen were not spoken loudly. But when they reached everyone’s ears, it was like a clap of thunder.
Su Chen was going to fight five people singlehandedly? This news was truly shocking!
One had to know, Su Chen had only just recently broken through to the Quasi-Saint Realm! Where did he get the confidence to take on five people alone? If he lost, his life would be endangered.
After all, battles between Quasi-Saint Realm cultivators could not be casually interrupted. Unless there was a Saint Realm expert present, no one had confidence they could take action in time if Su Chen’s life was threatened.
“Fellow Daoist Su, do you really intend to fight five alone?” Flame Lord of the Flaming Fire Holy Land asked gravely.
The five Quasi-Saint Realm experts on the other side were no pushovers. Even the weakest was at the middle stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm. Even if he alone faced any of those five, there was a chance of dying.
Comparatively, Su Chen had only broken through two days prior, his cultivation possibly not even stabilized yet. In his view, if Su Chen really fought them, the odds of winning weren’t even 10%!
“Yes.” Su Chen nodded slightly and continued striding forward, speaking lightly. “Everyone, please just help guard the formation.”
He didn’t forbid others from interfering, only saying to help guard. This way, those with ulterior motives would have to think twice before acting.
“Su Chen is courting death!” A Quasi-Saint Realm expert of Dashang narrowed his eyes as a cold glint flashed within.
He summoned a divine mountain. The mountain towered tens of thousands of feet high, suspended above his head.
Originally, he and the other Quasi-Saint Realm cultivator had already planned on escaping. However, Su Chen’s words made them reconsider.
Five against one. The advantage was surely ours! Even if Su Chen’s strength was heaven-defying, he would still die!
“Fellow Daoists, what are you still waiting for?” The Quasi-Saint Realm expert who had summoned the divine mountain stood in the void and casually pointed.
Boom!
The mountain overhead came crashing down through the air, casting a massive shadow upon the land below.
“Clang!”
Tang Huo’s eyes concentrated as his wrist flicked gently. The longsword in his hand slashed out, splitting the clouds above in two.
A loud rumble resonated between heaven and earth. Although this was the first time the three Quasi-Saint Realm experts of the Infinite Demon Sect and two from Dashang had joined forces, their coordination was extremely tacit.
Five terrifying divine powers sealed off heaven and earth, cutting off all of Su Chen’s escape routes.
“Terrifying!” The spectators watching from afar all narrowed their eyes, great waves surging in their hearts. This level of might had exceeded everyone’s expectations. Any peer expert going up would likely meet their end.
“Sister-in-law, will my big brother be alright?” Qin Hao sat atop the Black Tortoise’s egg, raising his head to look at Ye Ruxue.
The Black Tortoise’s egg held a true Black Tortoise divine beast inside. This egg could be considered a living being, thus unable to be placed into a storage ring. Qin Hao simply used it as a stool, awaiting the Black Tortoise’s birth.
“He… he should be fine…” Ye Ruxue’s charming face was flushed red upon hearing this.
Although transcendent and untainted by the mundane world, being called sister-in-law so bluntly by Qin Hao caught her, an Immortal King in her past life, somewhat off guard.
But very quickly, she calmed herself, gazing fixedly at the distant battlefield. She had a strange sense of trust in Su Chen. After all, compared to his past life, the current Su Chen had already created many opportunities. Who could guarantee today’s events weren’t a miracle?
“Boom!”
A snow-white sword appeared. Su Chen slashed out at the three Infinite Demon Sect’s elders with his sword. Next, the Azure Dragon Sword spun back around, colliding with the divine mountain summoned by the Dashang Quasi-Saint Realm cultivator.
The divine mountain rumbled, its body continuously trembling yet not collapsing. Instead, it shrank to several times smaller, clinging onto the Azure Dragon Sword.
“Interesting…” Su Chen’s eyes narrowed. His strength was already mighty, with an unmatched physique. Tempered by the Nine Transformations Golden Body Art, wielding the Azure Dragon Sword took barely any effort.
But now, burdened by the additional divine mountain, the difficulty of his moves suddenly increased exponentially.
“Magnetic mountain?” Su Chen muttered. The magnetic mountain was an extremely rare weapon refining material. Even one the size of a fingernail contained astonishing magnetism.
All divine metals and gold were innately suppressed by it. The divine mountain before him was fist-sized. It was hard to imagine how heavy it was. The issue was the improper refining method for this mountain.
The magnetic mountain, comparable to saint-level treasures, had merely produced a high-grade Dao weapon. This was simply a wasteful squandering of precious materials!
“You came prepared!” Su Chen lowered his head, gazing at the Azure Dragon Sword in hand, then glanced at the Dashang Quasi-Saint Realm cultivator. He suddenly understood.
He had previously used the Azure Dragon Sword in Dashang before. Thus, they were already aware of this information. Now bringing the magnetic mountain, it was clearly targeted against him.
“Su Chen’s divine weapon had been suppressed. Fellow Daoists of the Infinite Demon Sect, if you don’t attack now, when will you?” The expert manipulating the magnetic mountain hastily spoke.
His voice shook the surroundings. In everyone’s eyes, Su Chen’s greatest trump card was the Crimson Flame Divine Body. His second trump card was the Azure Dragon Sword.
If Su Chen’s Azure Dragon Sword was crippled, it would be like severing one of his arms. Dealing with him would become much simpler.
“The magnetic mountain has even appeared?”
“Looks like Dashang has really invested heavily this time!”
“This is a weapon refining material comparable to the Saint Realm! Who’d have thought they could only forge a high-grade Dao weapon? Dashang is truly wasting heavenly treasures!”
“Now, no matter what it’s forged into, the magnetic mountain’s attributes remain. As long as the weapon is something like divine metal, it will be suppressed!”
“In that case, doesn’t that mean the Dao weapon in Su Chen’s hand is useless now?”
“Hahaha, without his weapon’s support, Su Chen will die here today!”
The onlookers spoke one after another. They all believed the outcome was already decided. Su Chen could never break free of the magnetic mountain. Even if he sent the mountain flying, it would just stick to him again.
At the side, Ye Ruxue, Qin Hao, and the others had ugly expressions. Especially Ye Ruxue, who already had a formation plate in her hand. As long as things didn’t go as planned, she would immediately set up a deadly trap formation.
With her present strength, once she deployed a grand formation, it would be sufficient to trap and kill several Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses.
“Did the Dashang Empire send you to deliver equipment to me?” Su Chen spoke plainly, a smile on his lips.
He had originally planned to upgrade the Azure Dragon Sword to sacred weapon level but was always limited by a lack of saint-level materials, unable to complete the improvement.
Now, with a magnetic mountain delivering itself to his doorstep, it was truly a fortuitous gift.
Boom!
Su Chen formed a hand seal. A square imprint descended from above, violently colliding with the magnetic mountain.
Under the terrifying power, the magnetic mountain was sent flying thousands of miles away..
