Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

Chapter 63 - Life And Death Battle(IV)

At this moment, the middle-aged man found himself in a huge dilemma. His only safe choice was to stop or change the direction of his attack but he couldn't even if he wanted to.

His speed was virtually too fast and imperceptible. His momentum was simply too strong to stop, he had no choice but continued to charge forward despite knowing what awaits him.

At this moment, he was like a vehicle driving down a cliff at the fastest speed with no brake.

The middle-aged man had no idea that Ling Chen was this crafty and set up such a trap. Even though he was just a kid, his method was quite impressive.

Although using such a method was a bit underhanded, he had to admit that this was a good move. The little devil's method was brilliant; he was not all brawn and no brain.

Nonetheless, though the little devil had laid such a crafty trap for him and he walked right through it, it still wasn't enough to stop a battle-hardened veteran like himself who had gone through countless life and death battles.

Furthermore, in front of overwhelming power and true strength, all schemes, and traps were meaningless.

Seeing that he couldn't back out, the grey robe middle-aged man decided to blast through it by destroying everything in his path.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a burst of pure fiery true qi exploded from the man's lower-dantian. It burned and circulated around his body!

The fiery true qi erupted from the middle-aged man's body as lava erupted from a volcano. It was as if, at that moment, the middle-aged man's body had turned into the Sun and it was extremely hot! His entire body felt like he was bathed in flames

The next moment, the fiery energy swirled around his arm until it eventually gathered into the tip of his long dark sword and formed a huge ball of fire like a miniature sun.

It had the sensation of being the most oppressive sun in this world as it spewed out an endless amount of fiery energy!

In fact, even the actual sun felt cold in comparison to that ball of flame.

Swoosh!"

Suddenly, the ball of fire or miniature sun flew out from the tip of the sword like a rocket and went straight towards the countless dark tree roots. Even space rippled as a result

"Boom!" With a loud explosion, the sky lost its brilliance and the earth trembled.

In the next moment, all the dark roots in the middle-aged man's path had turned into ashes. In front of that ball of fire, all were fragile like dried branches.

Any obstacles and traps became trivial before the miniature sun, only a broad and open path lay before the middle-aged man at the moment.

All of this happened really fast; it wouldn't be wrong to say it happened in an instant

However, before the middle-aged man could even relax after getting out such a predicament, his face suddenly darkened.

Where's Ling Chen?

Even after blasting the countless dark tree roots, Ling Chen's figure was nowhere to be seen. In fact, he was pretty sure that Ling Chen wasn't within the dark cube when he shattered it with his sword like some sort of broken porcelain.

He had no idea if Ling Chen had escaped or he was still hiding somewhere.

While the middle-aged was still racking his brain about the whereabout of Ling Chen,

"Buzz." In this split second, someone suddenly appeared behind the middle-aged man- Ling Chen! It seemed as if he had been there the entire time.

Swoosh!"

Without wasting any time, Ling Chen suddenly thrust forward the middle-aged man's head with his giant claw.

That's right, a giant claw!

Ling Chen's right hand had suddenly turned into a giant beast claw. The kinda claw that looked as if it was borrowed from some prehistoric predator, they were six inches to tip and looked sharper than a butcher's knife.

It was pitch black and was giving off an ominous and vile corrosive energy as if it could pierce and melt everything it touched.

Ling Chen was simply too fast and Swift and the middle-aged man had no way to dodge such a sneak attack.

"Gotcha." Ling Chen slowly uttered with a sinister smile on his face.

Ling Chen already knew that he wasn't the middle-aged man's opponent. Whether it was the middle-aged man's spiritual pressure, battle techniques, battle experience, and even their realm, far surpassed him.

In front of a strong person like that, all of his abilities and powers were meaningless. Furthermore, unless he got close to him, he would never be able to injure him or even kill him.

At this moment, the middle-aged man finally realized the gravity of the situation as his face darkened.

The pitch-black claws' cold reflection shimmered, and Ling Chen's right hand struck straight for the head of the middle-aged man!

The middle-aged man was undoubtedly a genius of the Supreme Sword Dao Sect. His expression darkened, and the sound of "Whoosh, whoosh" filled the air. In the face of life and death, his body was covered with a layer of red fiery true qi.

"Pluff."

However, He had already used most of his fiery true qi from the last attack, the amount fiery true qi left wasn't enough to create a sturdy membrane-like armor around his body.

As such, Ling Chen's claw was still able to penetrate it. The neck of the middle-aged man became cold; strand by strand, his blood dripped downward. Just a little bit deeper, his brain would have splashed on the ground.

Also, If he hadn't used the remaining fiery true qi to cloak his body on time, with just this giant dark claw, he would have definitely met his end. This time, he was extremely frightened.

At the same time, he looked utterly confused. He didn't know how Ling Chen got so close to him without him noticing. He couldn't understand how he got through his defenses to actually injured him and almost killed him.

As a Peak warrior and swordsman, his defense, movement techniques, and evasive measures were impeccable.

He's always on guard and his spiritual sense was always on the lookout whether he was fighting or not. No one should be able to get close to him to actually touch him without his permission. Not to mention such a junior.

Alas, his true qi membrane-like armor was rendered obsolete by Ling Chen's claw as he was blasted to the ground with blood gushing out of his neck.

"Bang!" He slammed into the ground, creating a pit that eventually grew as big as a crater.

His blood splattered everywhere, resulting in a moving scene.

The peak Martial Venerable that was considered to be unbeatable by most right now but he got bested by a single strike of a junior.

"Looks like I have underestimated you." The middle-aged man scowled.

He has grown used to seeing the fear and respect on everyone's face after becoming a peak Martial Venerable. Everyone wanted to flatter and earn his grace. Even a behemoth like the Yan Empire was respectful towards him.

Who would have thought that his first battle against a junior would result in an utter defeat?

This humiliation would forever be a stain in his life. This made him unable to stay cool and became visibly annoyed with murderous intent.

"Hahaha, I can't believe the legendary Fire Sword Venerable almost got his head chopped off by a little brat. Elder Zhuo, do you need any help."

While the grey robe middle-aged man also known as elder Zhuo was fuming with rage, a thunderous voice filled with contempt suddenly rang out from the Sky.
