Chapter 1662 (Raw 1674): Intense Exchange
Xiao Chen, who was prepared to die, did not expect that everyone on the Black Cutlass would rush over.
This even included the Iron Hand Yama.
Before this, Xiao Chen had never counted the Iron Hand Yama as part of the Black Cutlass’s crew. If the Iron Hand Yama was willing to help, then after gathering the Black Cutlass’s forces, they might be able to hold their own against the Protector, although the odds of winning were still slim.
However, there was a stark difference between holding one’s own and passively getting beaten up.
The sudden turn of events made the Protector’s face sink. He coldly eyed the Iron Hand Yama and said, “With just your strength, you dare to be so unruly before me? How reckless!”
Right after the Protector said that, he gently sent out a palm strike that seemed illusory.
The Iron Hand Yama did not dare to get careless. He pushed Xiao Chen away, and red light burst out of him. A baleful aura surged forth, and he took a step forward, receiving this palm strike head-on.
“Boom!”
The two palms met, and an overwhelmingly loud sound rang out. Many splashes appeared where the two exchanged moves.
A strong wind blew and heavy rain fell.
Amid the storm, the Iron Hand Yama and the Protector quickly traded blows. In the blink of an eye, they already exchanged ten moves.
Every move was startling, its might shaking the sky. No one could interfere.
After another ten moves, the two separated with a wave between them. Both of them took one hundred steps back.
Blood leaked out of the Iron Hand Yama’s mouth. He appeared slightly pale but was still spirited, only lightly injured.
“Bald monk, you are merely so-so,” the Iron Hand Yama said disdainfully as he wiped away the blood on his lips.
The Protector appeared gloomy. He had not expected the Iron Hand Yama to be so strong. A peak Major Primal Core cultivator was only one step away from the Cloud Sea Realm, their cultivation terrifyingly high.
What was worse was that the Iron Hand Yama’s Veritable Essence Energy was very dense and firm. His Cultivation Technique and Martial Techniques were exceptionally tyrannical.
The Iron Hand Yama was far superior to to regular peak Major Primal Core cultivators.
This was natural. If he were an ordinary peak Major Primal Core cultivator, how could he have obtained the nickname of the Iron Hand Yama, known as unrivaled under the Cloud Sea Realm in the Grave Sea?
The Protector said sullenly, “I underestimated you. You probably have plenty of experience fighting against a Cloud Sea cultivator. You must have been a peak Major Primal Core cultivator for a long time already.”
The Iron Hand Yama chuckled and said, “Just so-so. However, it is enough to delay you. No matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than my boss, the Savage Blood Star Venerate? Can you be stronger than the Divine Shield Army’s Sword General?”
“Haha! This esteemed Buddhist monk praised you a little, and you turned so cocky. I have used only fifty percent of my strength! Arhats, heed my order: capture Xiao Chen!”
The Protector’s expression turned serious as he charged over once more.
This time, the Protector no longer held back, bringing out his full aura.
Step by step, an overwhelming aura formed, driving the power of the world and fusing it with the Protector.
“Whoosh!”
With every step, the Protector brought along the vast sky and boundless sea.
Immediately, winds blew, clouds churned, and the waves surged as the Protector’s will of soul merged with the world, creating an incredibly vast and invisible force field.
The Iron Hand Yama’s face immediately turned grave. He did not dare to underestimate the Protector.
On the other side, the eight black-clad arhats worked together and charged towards Xiao Chen.
These eight black-clad arhats were early-stage Major Primal Core cultivators at the very least. When they worked together, the pressure that they brought was terrifying.
“Black Lotus Devil Fist!”
“Boom!”
The eight black-clad arhats attacked at the same time, each throwing a punch at Xiao Chen.
The sky suddenly turned dark. Eight Buddha images covered the sun and sky, each sending down a fist light.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. As the fist lights approached and were about to drown him, he suddenly shouted, “Break! Break! Break!”
In an instant, he executed the Army Breaking Saber Technique, Breaking Vast Armies!
Xiao Chen shouted three times, each time more resonant than the one before. They sounded like bursting thunder. Each shout made the light of the Buddha images dim slightly. After three shouts, the arhats’ auras plummeted.
As for Xiao Chen’s aura, it soared explosively. It was like he was amid a bitter desert battle, facing a vast army alone.
His momentum, like onrushing thunder booming, made it seem that he needed only one saber strike to break the vast army before him.
“Whoosh!”
When the saber light appeared with the support of Great Dao Energy, an army-breaking might surged out.
“Crack!” The eight fist lights covering the sky were all swept away by the saber light, and the black-clad arhats retreated hastily.
“Captain, we’ll aid you!”
Riding on the Cold Steel Eagles in the sky, Luo Nan and Fei`er charged at two of the black-clad arhats without having to consider.
Even if those black-clad arhats were late-stage Major Primal Core cultivators, they would not feel any fear.
“Young Master Xiao, this old man will do his best.”
On the tortoise beast, Elder Tang raised his flute to his mouth, and melodious sounds rang out. The tortoise beast under his feet immediately came out of the water and charged at that group of black-clad arhats.
At this moment, the Black Cutlass also started firing their 4-Star ballistae, shooting out many deadly bolts.
The black-clad arhats could not afford to be careless.
Even with their physical bodies, they could not completely block the bolts of the peak 4-Star ballistae.
The pressure on Xiao Chen immediately lessened. Now, he only needed to face two black-clad arhats on his own.
When fighting with eight terrifyingly strong, elite black-clad arhats, Xiao Chen clearly could not defeat them. However, dealing with two was no longer that scary. He had been cultivating for the past days and had improved.
Against the Protector, the Army Breaking Saber Technique and the Mah?m?y? Abstinence Violation Saber Technique would not be sufficient.
However, they were more than enough to deal with these two black-clad arhats.
“Fight at full force. Do not leave even a single one of them.”
An intent to kill appeared in Xiao Chen’s heart. He only wanted to finish the battles here quickly so that he could immediately go and help the Iron Hand Yama.
“Do not leave even a single one? You underestimate the Black Lotus Church’s accumulations and strength.”
The situation had suddenly changed, but the two black-clad arhats facing Xiao Chen did not evince any fear.
No matter what, to the black-clad arhats, Xiao Chen was just a half-step Primal Core cultivator.
“Is that so?”
Xiao Chen laughed coldly and thrust his left hand forward.
Xiao Chen’s killing move, the Ice Blood Lightning Dragon, quickly took form. The berserk tricolor dragon containing the power of lightning and ice, as well as the Azure Dragon’s might, howled as it charged forward.
This was a Martial Technique that even the dark-gold-armored cultivator could not deal with. It immediately blasted away the two black-clad arhats.
“Army Breaking Saber Technique, Breaking Mountains and Rivers!”
Xiao Chen’s aura soared to its peak. As he swung his saber, he materialized an unparalleled sharp light that could break five thousand kilometers of mountains and rivers.
This sharp light was boundlessly tyrannical. It advanced fiercely, unblockable.
The two black-clad arhats worked together to send out a palm strike. Black lotus flowers appeared, covering the sky and forming an independent Domain.
However, this Domain could not block this berserk and tyrannical saber. The two black-clad arhats retreated again. This time, their expressions paled even further.
“Breaking Stars!”
Let’s see how many moves you can take! With another war cry, Xiao Chen descended from the sky, holding the saber with both hands.
The moment the two black-clad arhats blocked the saber light, a starlike light appeared and encased the three.
It was like a star had appeared out of nowhere on this vast sea. It released resplendent starlight into the surroundings, looking dazzling.
“Boom!”
In the next moment, the star exploded violently, giving people the impression that it had been a figment of their imagination.
The star vanished, leaving behind intense ripples of light in the air. The two black-clad arhats lay on the sea surface, vomiting blood. However, they could not get back up.
Xiao Chen had snatched the initiative, firmly suppressing them from start to end. They could not do anything to retaliate.
The tyranny of the Army Breaking Saber Technique was flabbergasting, unbelievable.
Xiao Chen breathed deeply, his body covered in sweat. The Army Breaking Saber Technique had burst out with an incomparable sharp light, boundlessly tyrannical.
However, the resulting exhaustion was also terrifying. He had sent out only two killing moves, yet he already felt incredibly fatigued.
Xiao Chen glanced to the side and discovered that the Iron Hand Yama was in an extremely miserable situation.
When the Protector burst out with his true strength, the Iron Hand Yama could only get suppressed.
The Iron Hand Yama had no means of retaliating. However, it was also clear that the Protector could not afford a distraction, either.
The Protector wanted to extricate himself from the fight a few times to help. However, the Iron Hand Yama delayed him.
The Iron Hand Yama’s explosive power was also terrifying. The Protector simply did not dare to clash head-on with the other party.
“Damn it! Xiao Suo, take the war banner!”
Xiao Chen waved his hand, and the Scarlet Blood War Banner turned into a beam of light flying towards the Black Cutlass.
“Whoosh!”
A figure from the Black Cutlass soared into the air and grabbed the Scarlet Blood War Banner with his right hand before landing firmly on the crow’s-nest.
The moment the Scarlet Blood War Banner entered Xiao Suo’s grip, he brandished it and sent a scarlet light shooting into the sky.
The Immemorial Demon Soul Formation instantly activated.
