Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Overwhelming
“I’ll do it!”
Hong Chen stood up directly.
Liuyun was slightly smiling, standing behind Hong Chen, obviously aware of the enmity between Hong Chen and Yux Yan.
“You?”
Looking askance at Hong Chen with sharp eyes, Yux Yan said with disdain, “I think you two might as well take me on together. Have you forgotten how I taught you a lesson before?”
“The past is the past; now is now,” Hong Chen said.
“It seems that in the God-Slaying Pavilion, your strength hasn’t increased much, but your arrogance certainly has,” Yux Yan remarked, his eyes flashing a cold light. “Hong Chen, oh Hong Chen, you were only ever on the receiving end of humiliation, and it’s still the same now. You’ve put yourself in a difficult position, but I’ll give you a chance. Let your sister come and serve me well, and I’ll let you off today. How about it?”
Upon hearing these words, a cold light shone in Hong Chen’s eyes, and his figure charged towards Yux Yan, throwing a punch.
“That’s the extent of your strength?”
With a look of contempt on his face and a cold snort, Yux Yan also threw a punch.
“Bang!”
Their fists collided, Hong Chen’s face turned pale, and he was sent flying back.
“You think you, at the early stage of the Dragon Blood Realm, can defeat me?” Yux Yan sneered. “Same offer as before. Have your sister serve me well, and I’ll spare you this once. What do you say?”
Hong Chen didn’t speak, but he waved his hand, muttering a spell under his breath.
“Whoosh!”
As the spell was completed, a golden-yellow light barrier appeared in front of Hong Chen, which gradually transformed into a gate of light. From this portal, a figure suddenly stepped out.
“Huh?”
Yux Yan’s brows furrowed because the figure that appeared, though human, was simply too large.
Standing thirty feet tall and robustly built, his skin was the color of ancient bronze. His astonishing muscles exposed to the air gave a sense of visual oppression.
This was the corpse that Hong Chen had summoned from an alternate dimension!
The corpse had hollow eyes with a pale gray look. Upon appearing, it stood quietly, seemingly waiting for Hong Chen’s command.
Even in death, the corpse carried a formidable pressure. If categorized by the Cultivation Realms of the Dragon Martial Continent, the corpse’s former Cultivation Base had been at least at the late stage of the Dragon God Realm, if not the peak!
“This kid’s talent for summoning is indeed not bad,” Su Han said with a calm smile.
Usually, only Necromancy Mages could summon such things as corpses unless the summoner possessed extremely high Summoning Magic Talent.
Clearly, Hong Chen was such a summoner.
“Now you try again!”
Hong Chen’s eyes flashed coldly as he stomped on the ground, and like before, his figure charged out, aiming a punch at Yux Yan.
“Ungrateful wretch. Just now I only used fifty percent of my strength. This time, I’ll cripple your arm!” Yux Yan charged forward as well. His Cultivation Base at the peak of the Dragon Blood Realm fully erupted, with Dragon Qi swirling around his palm as he ruthlessly smashed towards Hong Chen.
But at that very moment, a strange smile appeared on Hong Chen’s face.
It was during that smile that the massive figure, emulating Liuyun’s stance, furiously stomped on the ground and charged out! The corpse’s strength was so immense; one stomp shattered the Martial Training Field’s ground, and with alarming speed, it surpassed Hong Chen, moving to stand in front of him and threw a punch!
“Oh no!”
Yux Yan’s face changed. He was confident he could break Hong Chen’s arm, but he had no such confidence when it came to the corpse’s arm!
The sheer visual shock alone slowed down Yux Yan’s every movement as if an endless oppressive force was hindering his actions.
Yux Yan wanted to retreat, but just like he said, he had already mounted a tiger and found it hard to dismount, and as they were about to clash, even if he wanted to retreat, it was already too late!
“Boom!”
The moment they collided, the Dragon Power circling Yux Yan’s palm was shattered, and the corpse’s arm, as if meeting no resistance, once again struck Yux Yan’s fist with overwhelming force.
“Crack!”
A crisp snapping sound echoed as Yux Yan’s right arm burst open with a bang, flesh scattered and bones tumbled to the ground.
“Ahh!!”
Intense pain turned Yux Yan’s face instantly pale, and he screamed uncontrollably in agony.
“Feel the pain now? Weren’t you trying to teach me a lesson?”
Hong Chen stared fixedly at Yux Yan without giving him any chance and threw another punch.
“Boom!”
The corpse’s movements were entirely in sync with Hong Chen’s since it possessed no spiritual wisdom.
As Hong Chen threw another punch, the corpse did the same.
Yux Yan’s face went pale as the punch headed towards him, the chill wind stinging his cheeks.
“Scram!”
Yux Yan suddenly roared and swung his remaining right arm, exerting the High-Level Dragon Technique granted by the Cold Cloud Sect—Tiger Demon Fist!
All the Dragon Power in his body almost converged into his left fist, and as he threw it, there was a sound like the roar of a tiger.
A gigantic tiger’s head even materialized in front of his fist.
This was not a case of Dragon Qi leaving the body but merely an evolution, which could slightly amplify the power of one’s own Dragon Qi.
But—it was utterly useless!
“Boom!”
The moment the tiger’s head materialized, the corpse’s fist collided with it head-on.
The tiger’s head couldn’t withstand the blow and instantly shattered!
Following that, the Dragon Qi dispersed like before, and Yux Yan’s left arm exploded amidst screams of agony!
It was a complete overpowering!
As a Peak Dragon Blood Realm cultivator using a High-Level Dragon Technique, Yux Yuan was utterly crushed by the corpse, utterly incapable of any resistance.
“Impossible… impossible!!!”
Yux Yan looked at Hong Chen with a ghostly pale face, grinding his teeth, “Hong Chen, your strength doesn’t come from yourself, but from that stronger helping you, this isn’t fair!”
“Fair?”
Hong Chen advanced slowly, walking and speaking, “Ignorant fool, let me tell you, this isn’t some grand stronger, but merely a corpse I summoned. It naturally counts as my strength because without me, it couldn’t appear here.”
As he finished speaking, Hong Chen arrived in front of Yux Yan, stepping on his face and grinding it underfoot.
“You talk to me about fairness? Tell me, what is fairness?”
Hong Chen’s hair moved as if by its own accord, his whole aura radiating a chilling coldness.
“When you fought me back then, why didn’t you suppress your cultivation to the early stage of the Dragon Blood Realm? Using the Peak of the Dragon Blood Realm to beat me, who was at the early stage, into critical injury—that’s your idea of fairness?”
