Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 647 - : The Sword Divides Life and Death (Part 1)

Chapter 647: Chapter 647: The Sword Divides Life and Death (Part 1)

“Tiger!”

Dao, who Wang Chen had sent flying with a palm strike, flipped in the air and landed on all fours.

He raised his head, his eyes bulging with rage, and let out an angry roar from his throat. His face turned beet red, and his skin began to show mottled yellow and black patterns.

Behind Dao, the Tabby Tiger Dharma Aspect suddenly appeared.

It lunged at Wang Chen, its claws bared!

Meanwhile, the chest of the high-tier Purple Mansion cultivator, which had been caved in, promptly swelled back to normal. In the blink of an eye, he had recovered.

...

There wasn’t the slightest sign of injury.

At the same time, Zhu Jiu’s face drastically changed, and pointing at Wang Chen, he bellowed in a low voice, “Like a mountain!”

In just two words, he spoke with profound gravity.

Wang Chen instantly felt a strong force descending upon him, as heavy as a mountain.

His Qi-Blood and Mana became completely stagnant.

“Anchor Mountain!”

Zhu Jiu pointed again and shouted, his bulging eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

The immense pressure bearing down on Wang Chen instantly increased by fifty percent!

If this had been an average Purple Mansion Cultivator, they would have likely been crushed by Zhu Jiu’s spell.

Yet Wang Chen still stood upright.

He turned his head to look at Zhu Jiu; purple light flickered in his otherwise dark pupils.

The next moment, the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Dharma Aspect emerged behind Wang Chen!

A pair of dragon eyes, burning with flames, fixed on Zhu Jiu and abruptly opened wide for a roar.

The dragon’s roar was silent, but Zhu Jiu staggered back three steps as if struck by a heavy blow, blood seeping out of his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears, clearly suffering from a severe internal injury.

This was a counterattack from Wang Chen’s Heavenly Dragon Vajra power!

The battles between lower-tier cultivators were not as mortals might imagine, especially when they clash in a narrow path; the fighting was often incredibly fierce and cruel, with life and death determined in an instant.

Wang Chen quickly raised his right palm, ready to deliver another blow to his opponent.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a streak of light shooting toward him!

Hu Qi had made his move.

This silent cultivator had just thrown a flickering throwing knife and added the power of his Qi-Blood to the blade by spitting a mouthful of blood on it.

Hu Qi had chosen the perfect moment to launch his sneak attack; most of Wang Chen’s attention was on Zhu Jiu, and he was also wary of Dao, who was about to counterattack. It was easy to overlook Hu Qi’s presence.

With this throw, Hu Qi didn’t just put all his strength into it, but the throwing knife itself was also his Lifebound Magic Treasure, nurtured for many years, and undoubtedly very powerful.

The throwing knife reached Wang Chen in an instant, its blade aimed directly at his throat, a critical point.

Hu Qi’s Lifebound Magic Treasure possessed powerful effects capable of piercing armor, breaking spells, and cutting souls. Once hit by it, even the Heavy Light Shield Armor of a Purple Mansion cultivator would struggle to resist.

Hu Qi had used this throwing knife to ambush several cultivators of the same tier, achieving success every time!

But this time it was Wang Chen.

Faced with the incoming knife, Wang Chen stood firm without dodging and suddenly flicked his finger.

Clang!

The throwing knife vibrated sharply, its course changing abruptly as it grazed past Wang Chen’s shoulder.

Seeing this, Hu Qi’s eyelid involuntarily twitched.

He had never underestimated Wang Chen’s strength and did not intend to face him alone.

There was a huge problem in Yongle Dungeon; several secret paths had collapsed, arrays had been damaged, bans had failed, and the connection between the nine levels was severed. The prison guards were leaderless and in disarray.

Hu Qi happened to be with Dao and Zhu Jiu, and they were looking for a way out to avoid being trapped.

They didn’t expect to encounter Wang Chen.

Obviously, that meant there was nothing to discuss; they simply had to act!

However, even three against one, with two high-tier Battle Cultivators and one mid-tier Dharma Cultivator, working together seamlessly in a coordinated attack, they still ended up at a disadvantage.

Hu Qi realized he had made a mistake in judging Wang Chen’s strength.

A massive mistake!

At this moment, he actually felt some regret.

If he had known Wang Chen was so profoundly cunning, he would never have offended him in the first place.

If such a person could be recruited into his team, his influence in the Yi Nine District would surely increase substantially.

But now it was too late for regrets.

Hu Qi, instead, firmed up his resolve to kill Wang Chen!

“Kill!”

His eyes bulged with fury as he suddenly produced a blood-red long saber in his hand.

But someone was faster than Hu Qi.

Dao leaped high into the air, plunging down from above towards Wang Chen.

Sharp claws grew out of his ten fingers, tearing the air with a whistling sound as he swung them, his entire being seemingly transformed into a ferocious beast, emitting an aura so suffocating it was almost tangible!

The Ferocious Tiger Dharma Aspect shadowed him closely, pouncing towards Wang Chen.

It aimed for Wang Chen’s Divine Soul Will!

“Seal!”

Almost simultaneously, Zhu Jiu extended a finger towards Wang Chen, his features contorted with a fierce growl.

He was casting a forbidden spell which was designed to seal an opponent’s spells.

As a pure Dharma Cultivator, Zhu Jiu had put in over a decade of hard work in the art of forbidden spells and, with several specially made Spiritual Artifacts, he was confident he could disrupt Wang Chen’s mana flow for over three breaths.

In a duel between masters, a single breath could determine life or death.

Let alone three breaths!

Wang Chen indeed shuddered and once again turned to look at him.

But Dao’s tiger claws missed as they swiped at Wang Chen’s head.

Wang Chen’s figure, like a wraith, appeared beside Zhu Jiu.

Shrinking Ground into Inches!

Hu Qi, who was just about to swing his blood saber, was taken aback and bellowed, “Old Jiu, be careful!”

Zhu Jiu had never anticipated that his painstakingly cultivated powerful spell would not affect Wang Chen in the slightest.

Acting purely on a cultivator’s instinct, in a moment of crisis, he made what was undoubtedly the right move: he swiftly retreated backward, widening the distance between himself and Wang Chen.

Zhu Jiu needed to buy a breath’s time to get support from his companions!

But the difference of a breath could mean the difference between life and death!

Wang Chen abruptly opened his mouth and spewed a stream of Sword Light, as the Dragon Abyss Sword that had been nurtured in the Qi Sea Dantian suddenly materialized, chasing Zhu Jiu with the speed of thunder that strikes before the ears can react.

In an instant, the light emanating from the sword body pierced the eyes of Hu Qi, Dao, and Zhu Jiu.

Zhu Jiu’s figure suddenly froze.

He looked down at his chest and saw an extra blood hole.

Neither the Body Protection Shield Armor nor the Spiritual Energy Talismans could block this sword strike.

“Heh heh…”

The scalding blood poured forth, carrying away Zhu Jiu’s life vitality and mana.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something more.

But before the words could come out, he had already fallen backward, his gaze dispersing and his face turning ashen.

The moment he hit the ground, he was gone.

[Heavenly Merit +600]

Wang Chen ignored the information flashing in his field of vision and reached out to grab the Dragon Abyss Sword that had just returned to his hand.

With the sword in hand, he turned his gaze towards Hu Qi, who was only a stone’s throw away.

His eyes were as indifferent as ever!

A chilling, murderous Sword Intent burst forth abruptly, engulfing Hu Qi in an instant.

Even Dao was affected and almost lost control of his Lifebound Magic Treasure!

But Dao’s situation was already far better than that of Hu Qi.
