Chapter 228: I Only Need One Of You Anyway (2)
A smirk played on Chen Tian's lips. "Is that all you've got?"
He raised his hand, the golden light intensifying around it. "Now, let me show something good."
"You're not a Qi Refinement Cultivator! You're in the Meridian Opening Realm!" He Hu stuttered in shock.
His attack just now could kill any 1st Stage Meridian Opening Realm cultivator, but Chen Tian blocked his attack as if it were nothing.
"So what if I'm not a Qi Refinement Cultivator? Or a Meridian Opening Realm, the moment you attacked me, you're already dead." Chen Tian's voice was cold and filled with confidence.
"Bastard, don't look down on us." Ma Chen shouted as he stepped forward, his eyes filled with anger.
"Earthen Pillar Thrust"
With a swift movement, Ma Chen slammed his hand into the ground, channeling his Qi into the earth.
As if in response to his command, a massive sharp spike erupted from the ground, shooting towards Chen Tian with incredible force.
The spike glimmered with an unearthly brown light, its power undeniable.
Chen Tian's eyes narrowed as he watched Ma Chen's sudden attack.
"You should have stayed on the ground, since I told you, you would stay alive."
"Heavenly Lightning Steps [1st Step]"
Lightning crackled around Chen Tian's feet as he swiftly dodged the oncoming sharp spikes. His movements were agile and precise, as no spike could catch him.
Ma Chen's face turned darker, seeing his attack easily evaded.
He knew today they were in trouble; the information about their target was all wrong.
"He Hu fucking do something," Ma Chen muttered under his breath, frustration evident in his voice.
Chen Tian smirked, relishing in his opponent's dismay.
"Wind Shadow Step!"
He Hu swiftly disappeared from Ma Chen's sight, leaving only a gust of wind in his wake.
He then reappeared behind Chen Tian, wanting to land a powerful blow to his back.
"Dog," Chen Tian just spat out the single word, his voice cold and dripping with disdain.
He Hu, however, felt a shiver run down his spine despite the burning fury within him. Chen Tian's calm demeanor spoke volumes of his confidence, and He Hu couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding.
He raised his fist, the energy swirling around it intensifying its destructive potential. The blow he aimed for Chen Tian's back contained all his rage, all his hatred, and all his pent-up frustration.
Yet, just as his sword was about to connect, a sharp, metallic clang echoed through the air.
A shimmering sword had materialized in Chen Tian's hand, deflecting He Hu's attack with effortless ease.
Chen Tian held the sword in an almost casual manner, but the way his eyes narrowed focused He Hu's attention completely. "You call yourself a cultivator?" Chen Tian inquired, his voice laced with icy mockery.
"Pathetic."
He Hu's face contorted in rage.
"Die, you piece of sh*t!"
He roared and unleashed a torrent of wind slashes at Chen Tian, but the sword danced in his hand, deflecting each projectile with a flick of the wrist.
Frustration and despair gnawed at He Hu's core. He had trained for years to reach his current strength, and yet he still stood powerless before this seemingly unassailable monster.
"You are nothing but a fly buzzing around a mountain," Chen Tian declared, his voice echoing with finality.
"Your attacks are mere annoyances; your anger is like a child's tantrum."
With a swift movement, Chen Tian lunged forward, the sword a blur in his hand.
He Hu tried to raise his sword to defend himself, but it was too late. The sword pierced through his defenses, slicing through flesh and bone with the ease of a hot knife through butter.
"Ahhh!!!"
"He Hu!"
He Hu collapsed to his knees, his eyes widening in disbelief and horror.
He looked down at the gaping wound in his chest, life slowly draining from his eyes.
"This is the end for you," Chen Tian whispered, his voice devoid of emotion. "And this is the fate of all who dare to oppose me."
He Hu's body convulsed in pain as blood gushed out of his wound, staining his clothes and the ground beneath him.
His vision blurred, and he gasped for air, struggling to stay conscious.
All this was happening at the same time, Ma Chen was still attacking Chen Tian using earth spikes.
It looked as if Chen Tian had eyes behind his back as he effortlessly dodged each spike with a swift and graceful movement.
'Tskk, this is bad!' Ma Chen thought to himself, realizing that he was no match for Chen Tian's, not to mention that if He Hu were killed, he would definitely die here.
With that, he threw the sword from his hand and clenched both his fists as Brwonsih energy surged through his body. His muscles tightened, and his aura became more intense.
Sensing the change in Ma Chen's energy, Chen Tian's expression changed for a moment.
A smirk crept onto his face as he found the attempt to fight funny.
"You really think you can defeat me?" he taunted. But Ma Chen did not respond.
Unexpected to Chen Tian, Ma Chen's next move surprised him as Ma Chen's body started to sink to the ground.
Before Chen Tian could react, Ma Chen escaped through the earth.
"Haaa, what a ruthless bastard! How could you leave your companion and just run like this? Shame on him, right?" Chen Tian smiled as he turned to look at He Hu, who was in a bad state.
"F-Fuck yo-uu" He Hu coughed out weakly, struggling to catch his breath. Chen Tian's smile widened.
"Well, it doesn't matter; I only need one of you anyway."
Chen Tian raised his sword and slashed it down with a swift motion, aiming directly at He Hu's chest. The blade cut through the air with a chilling sound as it descended towards its target. He Hu's eyes widened in fear as he realized the imminent danger, but he couldn't move.
|Swoosh|
"That one down; now let's go after the second one."
Chen Tian eyes shone a blue color as he started moving toward the one who ran away.
