Chapter 79: Battling Blood Boiling (1)

The atmosphere suddenly quieted down .

Neither Su Chen nor Li talked . They only gazed at each other, a thick desire for to do battle reflected in their eyes .

After quite some time, Li laughed with a dry throat, “Since that’s the case, I have no choice . Although killing you might cause the organization’s plans to fail, I don’t have many more possible choices . Thankfully, the Spirit Burying Terrace will activate in half a year . As long as we contain the news of your death and spread rumors that you entered the Scarlet Mountain Range again, perhaps we can delay everything until that point in time . ”

Su Chen replied, gently laughing, “Perhaps your organization won’t even need to delay…… If you die here, then there won’t be any trouble at all . ”

Li was dazed . He said, “I am very surprised by your self-confidence . You’re but a brat who has just entered Qi Drawing, so what gives you the confidence to dare to fight against a high-layer Blood Boiling cultivator? The difference between us isn’t something that can be mitigated by a mere Iron Cliff . No matter what tricks you have up your sleeves, I will use the facts to show you what a stupid decision you’ve made . ”

As he spoke, he pulled out his Black Serpent Staff, pointing the black serpent’s head at Su Chen and sneering, “Pay the price for your recklessness and ignorance . ”

As he spoke, the black serpent’s mouth spit out a blackish-yellow fog .

This fog didn’t actually exist . Rather, it was created using Origin Energy and was representative of the activation of an Origin Skill . This skill was called the Black-Yellow Plague . It had two main effects . One was the Black Plague, which was similar to a real epidemic . It could cause massive internal bleeding in one’s intestines, causing a slow, painful death . The other effect was the Yellow Plague, which weakened one’s physical body, and it would reduce one’s ability to defend against soul-type and a few other special kinds of attacks .

To Li, the Black-Yellow Plague Origin Skill was not just a skill that could harm others, but was more importantly the Origin Skill that allowed him to display his full strength . Thus, every time he battled, this Origin Skill was the first to be activated .

The pale yellow fog began to dissipate through the entire secret chamber, and Li’s laugh began to echo like a demon’s in the open space .

Su Chen only slightly smiled . “Black-Yellow Plague? I know of this technique, but it’s ineffective against me . ”

As he spoke, an azure fog also suddenly began to appear in the chamber . This azure fog flowed throughout the secret chamber . When it touched Li’s Black-Yellow fog, his fog melted and disappeared like snowflakes .

Li was shocked in his heart . “How is this possible?”

“It’s not that impossible, Li . Since I knew I would be fighting you, how could I not first understand your techniques ,” Su Chen replied . While he and Night Demon had been traveling down the mountain, Su Chen had taken the opportunity to investigate everything about Li . “Since you’ve made a move already, it’s my turn next . ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and numerous air tentacles appeared in the air and moved towards Li in an attempt to bind him .

While he was talking with Li, he had not been wasting time . As he spoke, he had been secretly creating large numbers of air tentacles . At this moment, he activated them simultaneously, and they began to wrap towards Li, whistling through the air .

Li couldn’t help but be surprised . He hadn’t expected that Su Chen would actually have such tactics . He let out a low whistle, and the Black Serpent Staff in his hand shook . A white wall of light appeared in front of him, blocking all of the air tentacles .

At the same time Iron Cliff charged forwards, the air whistling from his speed . He was wearing the Melted Golden Armor, and he charged like a Vicious Beast in human form, slamming into the white wall of light . Upon impact, the wall of light actually began to wobble, but he was unable to break through it .

Li laughed coldly and was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed . In an instant, his body dissolved into a plume of yellow sand which flew into the air .

As the sand diffused, a pair of large mandibles shot out from the ground, slashing by at a terrifying speed . However, it had only bitten the dust of the ground .

It was the metal-eating bug .

This explosive attack was not spontaneous; Su Chen had prepared it as an ambush long ago . Unfortunately, it had all been for naught as Li had sensed it beforehand, and had turned into sand to dodge it .

The cloud of dust reformed into Li in midair .

This attack had truly been very sudden . Although it had not injured him in any way, it had given him quite the scare .

“So you even had a bug that you raised, you tricky bastard!” A trace of purple flashed across Li’s face . “However, just this alone is not enough! Root it for me!”

As he spoke, he pointed at the metal-eating bug . The metal-eating bug that was just about to charge under Iron Cliff’s control suddenly came to a stop . No matter how Iron Cliff tried to coax it, it was of no use .

Su Chen knew that this was definitely the result Li’s illusion technique .

His illusion techniques were best suited for creating deception and confusion . Using it to deal with a lifeform like the metal-eating bug whose intelligence was limited was easy . Thus, after only one exchange, the metal-eating bug’s powerful combat prowess was defeated instantly .

Indeed, there was no technique that was invincible . Even a lifeform as powerful as the metal-eating bug couldn’t even last a single exchange before Li .

Thankfully, his illusion techniques had not reached the point of reversing Heaven and Earth and confusing one’s heart . Otherwise, he might be able to use the metal-eating bug to help him do battle .

In the next instant, Li laughed savagely, “Do you think that you are the only one with a pet? Black Serpent Staff, bite him to death for me!”

He tossed out the Black Serpent Staff into the air . The staff actually became a small black serpent which climbed over the wall of light and bit down towards Su Chen .

Su Chen waved the Moon-Swallowing Heavenly Wolf Blade in his hands and the Wolf Soul appeared, biting down onto the black snake .

At this point, the outcome depended on the discrepancies between the two Origin Tools . Although Su Chen’s Heavenly Wolf Blade was pretty good, it was much weaker than the Black Serpent Staff, which was a grade eight Origin Tool . The black serpent coiled around the Wolf Soul completely . It instantly contracted, and the Wolf Soul couldn’t endure it . It very quickly exploded into tiny bits .

The Wolf Soul wasn’t a physical form, and so it could reform after fragmenting . However, the Wolf Soul’s vitality would be greatly reduced from before . When faced with the black serpent, it could only succumb to the fate of being fragmented again and again .

If it was fragmented too many times, the Wolf Soul would eventually dissipate permanently, unable to recover .

Su Chen knew that the situation was not good . His left hand opened, and an Origin Energy Talisman appeared in his hand .

The Origin Energy Talisman instantly ignited, and with a ‘boom’ a large fireball flew towards the black snake . Its strength was not weak, and it actually sent the black serpent flying .

At the same time, a blade appeared in Iron Cliff’s hand .

The Black Streak Battle Blade!

Su Chen had given the blade that sapped the most physical strength to Iron Cliff to use . Only someone like him with such vigorous life energy could really display the full potential of the Black Streak Battle Blade .

“Ha!” As he sharply exhaled, the Black Streak Battle Blade chopped onto the wall of light, causing it to finally collapse .

The numerous tentacles charged forwards, and the blood-colored blade light chopped towards Li .

Finally, Li was no longer able to dodge . Just as the blade strike and the tentacles were about to reach him, Li’s body became enveloped in a dazzling light . An Origin Energy barrier actually blocked both the blade and the tentacles

Most Origin Qi Scholars would usually learn one or two barrier-type Origin Skills . This was an absolutely necessary tactic to protect oneself .

Evidently, Li’s Origin Energy barrier was not weak . It could directly reflect both the Black Streak Battle Blade and the air tentacles .

At the same time, Li stared at both Iron Cliff and Su Chen . In the next instant, Iron Cliff appeared to have seen something extremely frightening, as he yelled loudly and quickly retreated .

This person’s illusion techniques were truly extremely strong . Every time he made a move, his target would definitely lose their ability to move .

However, his illusion techniques evidently were useless on Su Chen . When Li’s illusion techniques were used on Su Chen, Su Chen suddenly activated a bead which began to glow . It actually forcefully blocked Li’s soul illusion technique .

“Clarity Bead!” Li gritted his teeth and said .

The Clarity Bead could block soul illusion techniques . However, it was extremely expensive, and it could only be used a limited number of times . This guy was indeed willing to spend money if he had it . He was even willing to buy the Clarity Bead to deal with him .

Having blocked the illusion technique, Su Chen struck out towards Li with his blade .

“You want to kill me with just this amount of preparation? Dream on!”

As Li howled, the protective barrier on his body suddenly exploded, releasing large waves of Origin Energy . All of the air tentacles instantly exploded into pieces .

Li walked over with large strides . “I must admit that you truly do have a few methods, but they will only take you here . Receive the suffering of eternal darkness!”

A pitch-black darkness began to spread in the room, making it impossible for people to see things .

Immediately afterwards, a strange whistle began to sound out in the cavern . A cacophony of sound appeared to be coming from everywhere at once . In the midst of this cacophony, it sounded like something was chomping repeatedly,

Pu!

Something latched onto Su Chen’s leg .

What was shocking was that Su Chen didn’t feel any pain at all .
