Both Chen Tian and the Evil General were waiting for the other to expose a weakness. When their strengths were equal, whoever revealed a flaw first would seize control of the entire battle. Chen Tian and the Evil General locked eyes and charged at each other simultaneously, clashing in an instant.
Chen Tian's fists and the Evil General's claws met repeatedly. Chen Tian's fist was thrown out and instantly grasped by the Evil General, who then swung it, sending Chen Tian's arm flying. Chen Tian reacted quickly as the Evil General's claws lunged for his chest. Chen Tian leaned back, activating his extreme evasion technique, and dodged the attack. He then swept his leg, kicking the Evil General at his lower body. The Evil General faltered, and Chen Tian unleashed a barrage of punches.
His terrifying fists, imbued with nine-colored light, shot towards the Evil General. Of course, the Evil General's reaction speed was not inferior. He slowly raised his left leg, and it collided with Chen Tian's fists. With a roar, his left leg then swept out in a spinning kick, deflecting Chen Tian's punches. Seeing this, Chen Tian decisively abandoned his attack, retreated, and leaned his head back, dodging a black leg that swung past his head.
The Evil General seized the opportunity and attacked, his claws lashing out in rapid succession, sending countless claw shadows flying. Chen Tian opened his palm and swatted them away one by one. But it wasn't over. The Evil General appeared instantly before Chen Tian and lunged with his claws towards Chen Tian's head. Chen Tian reacted decisively, his figure flickering and disappearing from his original position. Using his skill, Blink, Chen Tian reappeared elsewhere. The Evil General, seeing his attack miss, adopted a defensive stance as Chen Tian advanced.
Chen Tian's fists, enveloped in nine-colored light and airflow, shot towards the Evil General's face. The Evil General crossed his arms and slashed, unleashing a massive black 'X' that rushed towards Chen Tian. Chen Tian's punches collided with the 'X' attack, resulting in a massive explosion. Chen Tian's figure surged past the mark, continuing his assault on the Evil General.
The Evil General was stunned. Black airflow surged around his arms, and he threw out his fists. With a deafening roar, their fists collided, the resulting shockwaves spreading and causing the surrounding space to ripple. Cracks began to appear in the sky.
Seeing this, Chen Tian and the Evil General promptly reined in their power. This was not the Divine Realm. If the space here shattered, they would both be caught in spatial turbulence and torn apart.
Chen Tian and the Evil General retreated simultaneously. The cracks in the sky slowly mended, and the sky returned to normal. Chen Tian looked at the Evil General before him. Their auras had risen to their peak. Their fists were then enveloped in different colored energy flows: nine-colored light and airflow for Chen Tian, and black airflow for the Evil General. They both threw out their left fists, and with a deafening boom, they were both sent flying.
Chen Tian and the Evil General stabilized themselves. It was still a draw. With equal strength, they could only exploit each other's weaknesses. But neither was willing to reveal their flaws first. Whoever exposed a weakness or flaw would gain the advantage.
Chen Tian and the Evil General's eyes met. The Evil General spoke, "You are even more troublesome than you were thousands of years ago."
Chen Tian retorted, "If I had recovered my full strength, do you think you would have the right to say that?"
"Indeed not. But what can you do? Today, I will kill you no matter what, for the sake of the Evil Spirit race."
The Evil General spoke with arrogance. Chen Tian shook his head indifferently, "Many Evil Spirits like you have said that before, but they all died by my hand in the end. Do you think you can succeed?"
The Evil General said calmly, "How can we know without trying? If it were you from thousands of years ago, I would likely be dead by now. But you, with only half your strength and not fully recovered, if I'm not mistaken, you've only recovered about four percent of your power, haven't you?"
"That's right, but killing you is still effortless."
Chen Tian countered. He could indeed only use four percent of his strength, but this four percent, combined with the power of the cultivation world, far surpassed his previous strength. This was why Chen Tian could contend with the Evil General. Otherwise, in his normal state, Chen Tian would not be able to defeat the Evil General.
The Evil General's entire body was enveloped in black airflow, which surged and converged. His figure flickered soundlessly, and he instantly appeared before Chen Tian. Chen Tian extended both palms, grasping the claws. He then executed a shoulder throw, sending the Evil General flying. But the Evil General's figure flickered and vanished again.
Seeing this, Chen Tian activated his divine pupils. He stamped his foot, and his figure disappeared, reappearing in the northeastern region. Their fists and claws clashed with a thunderous roar. Their figures vanished again, this time appearing in the northern region, their legs colliding. Their figures continued to vanish and reappear, their fists and claws crashing in a fierce battle that raged across the north and south.
Yun Long, watching from below, exclaimed in shock, "What speed is this! It's already at the level of teleportation! Is Master this powerful?"
For the first time, Yun Long felt his own weakness. White light emanated from his entire body, and his aura began to climb. If Chen Tian saw this, he would surely be pleased, for Yun Long's heart had become even purer and more flawless, leading to his continuous increase in strength.
However, Chen Tian was still engaged in combat and did not see Yun Long's transformation. Above them in the sky, after a few exchanges, the Evil General and Chen Tian would suddenly appear in different locations. Then, a massive explosion would erupt, and both Chen Tian and the Evil General would be sent staggering back.
Chen Tian wiped the corner of his mouth, where a trace of blood had appeared. The Evil General also had a wound on his arm. Both had chosen to trade blows, resulting in minor injuries for both. However, these injuries were insignificant to either of them.
Chen Tian's injuries healed instantly, and the Evil General's wounds also repaired themselves. They looked at each other and simultaneously unleashed their claws and fists. Huge phantom fists and claws collided.
Chen Tian's fists were wrapped in countless swirling nine-colored lights. He then clenched his fists together, bringing his arms down. With a whoosh, a nine-colored hexagonal beam of light shot out from his fists.
Spell: Heaven-Shaking Hammer!
The Evil General, seeing the approaching beam of light, crossed his claws. Countless claw marks shot out, like blades, rushing towards Chen Tian's hexagonal beam of light.
Skill: Claw Annihilation.
The beam of light and the claw marks collided. The claw marks seemed to be endless and then exploded. Both combatants changed their moves simultaneously. Chen Tian's fists were enveloped in two colors of light: golden-red and cyan. Then, a phantom appeared above his fists. Suddenly, two long swords materialized, one golden-red and the other cyan. They were as illusory as shadows. Chen Tian then executed a dual-blade strike, unleashing two sword blades. Simultaneously, he crossed his arms, and the blades followed suit. Chen Tian's sword phantom shot out, its tip piercing the center of the blades, which then rapidly moved towards the Evil General.
Spell: Colorful Sword Jade Rainbow!
The Evil General spread his claws, which glowed with black light and airflow. He crossed his claws and spun, creating a giant crescent blade. He then brought his claws forward, and the massive crescent blade appeared before them. As he pushed his claws forward, the black crescent blade shot out.
Skill: Black Moon Annihilation.
Explosions echoed. Both combatants raised their arms to block, shockwaves continuously spreading. They then looked at each other again. Their strengths were equal, and even their moves matched in power. A decisive victory seemed impossible.
However, they decided to probe each other further. Golden-yellow light slowly appeared on Chen Tian's fists, and scales composed of nine-colored light emerged on his arms. The scales connected, and Chen Tian spread his arms. Nine-colored light converged before him, forming a nine-colored sphere that shot towards the Evil General.
Spell: Nine Annihilation Bombardment!
The Evil General's arms grew wrist blades, completely engulfing his forearms. These wrist blades extended towards his claws, which then enlarged several times. The Evil General adopted a cross shape, and countless wrist blades shot out in a wave of light, rushing towards Chen Tian's nine-colored sphere.
The sphere and the wave of wrist blade light collided. Chen Tian shot out nine-colored beams of light from his hands, striking the sphere. The sphere and the wrist blade wave continued to clash, neither giving ground.
Then, a massive explosion sounded, and both Chen Tian and the Evil General were pushed back. They met each other's gaze and spoke in unison, "It seems we are still at a draw!"
Golden-blue light began to emanate from Chen Tian's arms, spreading into the sky. Chen Tian leaped forward, positioning himself behind the light. He then delivered a series of kicks, and the invisible light instantly transformed into a golden-blue drill upon being struck by his legs, rushing towards the Evil General.
The Evil General understood Chen Tian's intention. He adopted a hand-blade stance and spun, transforming himself into a black drill that charged towards Chen Tian's drill.
The two lights met head-on, crossing paths. With a whoosh, Chen Tian and the Evil General stood behind each other. They both clutched their chests, where a hole had appeared. Chen Tian's regenerative power activated, and the wound healed instantly. The Evil General also repaired the damage, and they both looked at each other.
Chen Tian and the Evil General slowly clenched their fists. A nine-colored longbow appeared in Chen Tian's hand, while a black crossbow materialized in the Evil General's. The Evil Spirit Crossbow was the Evil General's exclusive weapon. At this point, the Evil General knew he could not win with any other secondary weapon; only his exclusive weapon could grant him victory.
After the previous close-quarters combat, Chen Tian and the Evil General realized they had no weaknesses when fighting bare-handed. Thus, it was now the turn of their weapons, and their vulnerabilities might lie there.
The final exchange of kicks was merely to exhaust each other's energy. Chen Tian drew his longbow, and light converged at its center. A nine-colored arrow shot out. The Evil General raised his Evil Spirit Crossbow and, with a whoosh, fired a black arrow. Their arrows collided. Chen Tian and the Evil General exchanged a look. Then, the sides of Chen Tian's longbow transformed into blades, and he charged at the Evil General.
The Evil Spirit Crossbow of the Evil General retracted from its sides, and a long sword slowly materialized on his arm, replacing the crossbow. He stomped his foot and charged at Chen Tian. Chen Tian and the Evil General clashed.
The sparks generated by their colliding weapons were intense. Chen Tian and the Evil General changed their moves simultaneously, and the sounds of their blades clashing echoed through the sky.
Chen Tian's and the Evil General's arm-swords scraped and clashed. Chen Tian swung his long saber, its blades moving from side to side. However, the Evil General parried with ease, swinging his arm to deflect Chen Tian's saber.
Chen Tian and the Evil General were locked in a stalemate. Chen Tian found an opportunity and unleashed a horizontal slash, his blade descending from above the Evil General's head. Seeing this, the Evil General held his sword horizontally, blocking the attack. Chen Tian instantly raised his arm, canceling his initial attack, and the right blade of his saber swept horizontally towards the Evil General.
The Evil General, unwilling to let Chen Tian succeed, spun his sword and blocked the saber. He then spun, twirling Chen Tian's saber around. Chen Tian released his grip, and the saber spun before him.
The Evil General then flung the saber away. Chen Tian extended his palm, and as if by some suction, the saber returned to his grasp. However, the Evil General's attack had already reached Chen Tian, his black longsword threatening to pierce him.
Chen Tian remained unfazed. He clasped his hands together, and the long saber snapped. Then, two blades appeared, and he parried the Evil General's assault.
The Evil General's black longsword was blocked by Chen Tian. Chen Tian then spun the Evil General's longsword with one hand. With an elegant turn, he unleashed a dual-blade strike.
Elegance never goes out of style!
