Chapter 178 - Shocking Everyone
Chapter 178 - Shocking Everyone
The people watching above had seen this move.
The fact that Long Chen could last so long against Jin Sheng’en had already proven his strength.
“But judging from that move just now, Jin Sheng’en’s attacks seem more vicious, and he seems a little more powerful,” said Gu Batian, frowning.
Liu Yuan and Liu Lan were anxious after listening to the Violet Grand Elder’s analysis.
They didn’t have any hope for Long Chen to join the inner family initially, but his performance had been outstanding so far, and he had even instigated deep enmity between himself and the Chu family. If Long Chen didn’t join the inner family, there would be trouble ahead, and he might not even live.
This meant that this was a critical battle for his livelihood!
You must win. Liu Lan had forgotten about the strange promise between herself and Long Chen as she watched him worriedly, hoping the teenager would create another miracle and win the fight.
Yin Mengyao, who was next to her, was also praying.
Right now, she was an inner family member, but this position had been given to her by Long Chen. Would she have gotten this spot if he hadn’t shielded her from Jin Sheng’en?
Let’s get into the inner family together.
They were all cheering Long Chen on, the most anxious female audience member being Ling Xi. Being in the sword on his ear, she felt like she was fighting the intense battle herself. It was very exciting.
She had already assisted him once on Heaven’s Path to block Jin Sheng’en, which had exhausted a large portion of her soul power. That was why Long Chen had banned her from assisting him anymore. Despite being anxious, she had no choice.
However, without letting Long Chen know, she had been sneakily sending out tiny blades of sword Qi towards vulnerable parts of Jin Sheng’en’s body, inconveniencing him several times.
Although the main characters of the fierce battle were Long Chen and Jin Sheng’en, the Yin Snake Demons faced the highest death count. Both of them had powerful Body Tempering techniques, so no one had been poisoned thus far!
“Are you still delaying your inevitable death?” Jin Sheng’en smirked, using his Destructive Mountain Kick, whose sheer force felt like multiple mountains crashing down on Long Chen!
“You’re the one delaying your inevitable death!”
Long Chen blasted Jin Sheng’en back once more with the Devil Sun Collision.
“This is meaningless. Let me show you my advanced Black-tier technique, then ...” As he spoke, Jin Sheng’en’s aura grew much more powerful, and blades of Qi orbited around his body. More specifically, they were orbiting around his fist.
His entire fist turned completely gold and rays of golden light shot out. A terrifying force exploded from his fist and then, amidst Jin Sheng’en’s mad laughter, he punched!
Rumble!
The gigantic, golden fist seal flew at Long Chen! It brought with it immense power, even stronger than the advanced Black-tier technique Chu Yunxi had used!
“Warring Glass Fist!”
An explosion shook the earth!
This move was equivalent to an attack from someone at the late Earthly Core Realm. The audience were privately stunned by Jin Sheng’en’s strength.
The most anxious one was Liu Lan, because she was at the late Earthly Core Realm, yet even she wasn’t sure if she could withstand this attack!
Let alone Long Chen!
“Long Chen, what now?” Ling Xi asked in a panic.
“Haven’t I said this before? I’ll kill him with that move!” Long Chen cried, quickly using the Sword Devil Finger!
The Sword Devil Finger was actually a sword technique. Although its destructive potential was reduced after modifying it to be a finger technique, the process of using it was much quicker!
In the blink of an eye, Long Chen flung out a bright ray of sword light that flew at Jin Sheng’en’s Warring Glass Fist. The two shining attacks collided immediately!
Boom!
Echoing booms sounded across the deep rift in the ground!
“Is that the best your advanced Black-tier technique can do?” Jin Sheng’en let out a hysterical laugh in the middle of their intense clash.
In reality, while Long Chen couldn’t do anything to him, he couldn’t do anything to Long Chen either. If he said that the Sword Devil Finger was nothing, then the Warring Glass Fist was nothing too.
“The timing is just right.” Long Chen ignored him, and at this critical moment, while everyone was most focused on the battle, he did the same thing he had done to Feng Wutian!
This was Long Chen’s most formidable attack!
“Blood Devouring Domain!”
Long Chen had long thought of using the Blood Devouring Domain to boost the Sword Devil Finger.
Shadows of blood-colored blades suddenly appeared around the both of them, and a red mist materialized out of thin air. The mist covered the entire arena they were fighting in!
“What is that?” The audience above suddenly saw the red mist forming a domain and were left puzzled.
“Lord Xuanxiao?” Everyone turned to Dongfang Xuanxiao, who had the highest cultivation level there. The inner family had extremely deep pockets, so he was sure to be more experienced and knowledgeable than them.
Yet the calm Dongfang Xuanxiao’s eyes only widened as he watched Long Chen’s Blood Devouring Domain in shock. Even he didn’t understand what it was.
It seems to be a battle technique to seal off the surrounding space, forming a fixed domain ...
Dongfang Xuanxiao speculated privately, but he didn’t speak.
Seeing as he didn’t answer them, the others turned to watch the battle below anxiously. There were many sounds of combat below, but it was difficult to see what was happening!
Once he used the Blood Devouring Domain, Long Chen quickly gained the upper hand.
“What the hell is this?” Jin Sheng’en was shaken. He felt like he was suddenly in a blood-colored space. More importantly, what the hell was this terrifying gravity weighing down his body?
Under the influence of the increased gravity, he found that his blood had started to boil. He was losing control of it, as if it was gaining sentience and attempting to break free from his body.
He had no choice but to circulate his Qi in an effort to keep the blood and Qi from exiting his body. But this then decreased the Qi he could use externally to face Long Chen’s trump card. The two of them had been equal in terms of strength thus far, but this huge distraction caused the Sword Devil Finger to pierce through his Warring Glass Fist. The sharp sword Qi instantly hit his body!
The blade of sword Qi exploded into countless tiny sword Qi blades when it hit Jin Sheng’en, merging into his body. The pitiful Jin Sheng’en was busy suppressing his blood and Qi, so Long Chen’s Sword Devil Finger dealt significant damage, ultimately causing him to end up almost like Chu Yunxi!
“Enjoy the taste of death with my Blood Devouring Domain and Sword Devil Finger!” Long Chen dissolved the Blood Devouring Domain and raised his right arm. A simple Meteor Fist landed squarely on Jin Sheng’en’s jaw!
Bam!
Jin Sheng’en shrieked in pain. He was already barely conscious from the severe injuries, wishing he was dead. The impact from the punch instantly rendered the shocked Jin Sheng’en unconscious!
The Meteor Fist sent Jin Sheng’en flying up and out of the deep rift, leaving a trail of blood in the air as he flew in a perfect arc!
“What is that?” Jin Sheng’en’s body was flying so fast that the crowd couldn’t see what it was. The Blood Devouring Domain had just disappeared, so they only just had the opportunity to see what was happening below!
“It’s Jin Sheng’en! What is he doing up there? Has he won already?” Even Gu Batian was puzzled. He was still wondering why Jin Sheng’en had come out when the observant Yin Mengyao noticed Jin Sheng’en’s condition.
“He has vomited blood and fainted!” Yin Mengyao exclaimed with joy.
That was when everyone else noticed Jin Sheng’en’s condition too.
Vomiting blood and unconsciousness were two symptoms that proved that Jin Sheng’en had lost. It was a tragic loss indeed, for he did not even have the chance to yield.
In the next moment, they watched a nonchalant Long Chen leaping off the walls to travel upwards.
The twist of events left everyone in a daze, their minds blank.
When Jin Luan caught Jin Sheng’en and Long Chen arrived in front of them, everyone finally forced themselves to accept reality when they compared the conditions of the two prodigies!
Long Chen had beaten the number one prodigy of the outer families, Jin Sheng’en, and won the final slot to enter the inner family! From today onwards, he would be an inner family member!
Liu Yuan, Yin Mengyao, Gu Batian, and the rest were undeniably excited for him. Even Gu Cheng, who had lost to Yin Mengyao, was happy for him. However, this was a huge hit to the egos of Jin Luan and some others!
Jin Luan was the one who couldn’t stop smiling when three Gold family members successfully entered the second round of the qualifiers. However, he didn’t expect all of them to be disqualified. Even Jin Sheng’en, who had the highest chance, had been disqualified because of Long Chen, the dark horse!
Even though Jin Luan was an old fox, he could not calm himself while looking at Long Chen.
If Long Chen was a normal person, Jin Luan would never have allowed him to leave unscathed after hurting Jin Sheng’en. However, the problem was that he was now an inner family member and a disciple of Dongfang Xuanxiao. He clearly understood that the outer families were only mercenaries to the inner families, and he should never instigate conflict against the inner families!
“The two participants who have won the right to enter the inner family are Yin Mengyao and ...” Dongfang Xuanxiao gave a smile of satisfaction and looked at Long Chen, “Long Chen!”
