Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 946: Each Displays Unique Skills

General faced general, spear versus spear!

At the moment when Wang Chen took the Qiling Spear from the storage space, he simultaneously activated the powers of Corpse Dog, Obscure Tortoise, Sparrow Shadow, Swallowing Thief, and Non-Poison— the five great Evil Wheels—allowing an overwhelmingly fierce Evil Qi to surge into the body of the spear instantaneously.

This Mysterious Weapons long spear suddenly shone with an unprecedented brilliance, its tip ejecting a three-foot-long blade beam, meeting head-on with the Soul Severing Spear from Huang Jue.

Spear!

The two long spears crashed fiercely against one another, then bounced apart in unison.

Wang Chen’s whole body shook, and he took three large steps backward in a "thud thud thud" manner, the Qiling Spear in his hand quivering slightly.

On the other hand, Huang Jue took a single step back before steadying his form once more.

In the first round of the encounter, the fifth-tier Martial Ancestor from the Hidden Dragon Hall had apparently gained a slight upper hand.

Yet, Huang Jue’s expression was extremely grave, his wrinkle-filled face showing a look of surprise for the first time as he gazed intently at Wang Chen’s eyes, deep as the abyss.

Even when a lion fights a rabbit, it uses all its effort; since joining the Hidden Dragon Hall, Huang Jue had taken on hundreds of assignments and had never once failed.

Huang Jue had faced both strong and weak enemies, but no matter who the target was, he never underestimated them.

Even if the opponent was merely a first-tier Martial Apprentice, he would still go all out.

This thrust had gathered nearly ninety percent, close to a hundred percent, of Huang Jue’s strength; integrating man with spear as the qi pierced through like a long rainbow, even peak martial artists of the same tier would not dare to lightly face its edge.

Yet it was blocked by Wang Chen.

And Wang Chen had used a spear too!

Huang Jue hadn’t even seen clearly where Wang Chen had obtained this long spear from; it had suddenly appeared.

This fifth-tier Martial Ancestor finally understood why the two previous assassination attempts on Wang Chen by the Hidden Dragon Hall had ended in failure!

"What talent!"

Despite the shock in his heart, Huang Jue’s fighting spirit surged, his originally turbid eyes sparkling with a keen light.

To think that a sixteen-year-old youth possessed such ability; his martial arts talent was unimaginably high.

The thought of slaying such a genius with his own spear excited Huang Jue, making the Qi-Blood inside his body boil!

Wang Chen sharply felt the increased killing intent from his formidable opponent ahead and immediately adopted a defensive stance with his spear in hand.

"Die!"

Huang Jue suddenly stepped forward, thrusting his spear towards Wang Chen once more, the blade tip rapidly flickering into a huge bouquet of spear flowers.

One became two, two became four, four became eight...

In just the span of a breath, Wang Chen’s vision was enveloped by layer upon layer of pale golden spear flames pressing down from all sides.

If Huang Jue’s first spear thrust was a return to simplicity and directness, his second thrust was of ultimate complexity and mystery, instantly stealing away the brightness of sun, moon, and stars, transforming his strength and killing intent into a sky full of stars covering heaven and earth.

It was inescapable and unavoidable!

This thrust was steeped with the essence of "Tao."

"Ha!"

Faced with such an exquisite attack, Wang Chen raised his spear and swept across, the spear tip’s blade beam flickering unpredictably, in the blink of an eye stirring up layers of spear shadows, the fierce wind howling into existence, sweeping the heavens and wrapping the starlight.

His fighting spirit and killing intent were all infused into this thrust, concentrated with an unstoppable confidence and resolve!

A sweep to crush a thousand armies!

Undoubtedly, this battle with Huang Jue was the foundational battle for Wang Chen stepping into the great realm of a fifth-tier Martial Ancestor.

It was me invincible, or me with no enemy left, he had no other choice!

As Wang Chen swung his spear to meet the battle, a blood-red Evil Wheel silently appeared behind him, with five clusters of silver light neatly arranged from top to bottom, forming a strange equilibrium with the Evil Wheel.

This was the Martial Path Dharma Aspect manifested by the outpouring of Qi Energy, a sign that the cultivation of the Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel had reached a profound tier!

Similarly, Huang Jue also manifested his own Martial Path Dharma Aspect, though it was concealed by the brilliant spears all over the sky.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The collision sounded like a relentless pitter-patter of rain on banana leaves, and the Qiling Spear in Wang Chen’s hand and the Soul Severing Spear wielded by Huang Jue collided countless times in the blink of an eye, startling and alarming to all who heard it.

Although Huang Jue’s spear thrust carried an immense momentum, its mighty power overwhelming heaven and earth, pressing sharp edges in all directions,

he still couldn’t break through Wang Chen’s interception and defense. While it seemed he was winning the battle, in reality, he was being dragged into a prolonged struggle.

And the two were evenly matched!

Again and again, thrice and to the limit...

Despite Huang Jue’s high cultivation level and seasoned experience, even unleashing all his Life Qi and utilizing every trick in the book, he couldn’t defeat Wang Chen. Even as resolute as a rock, a flicker of doubt crept into his mind.

Or rather, it was doubt about his own strength.

Am I truly getting old?

This fleeting thought crossed Huang Jue’s mind, yet like a blade of grass taking root in his heart, it burrowed into a boulder cracked open.

In contrast, as Wang Chen resisted the enemy’s assaults time after time, his confidence and fighting spirit only grew stronger.

As the saying goes, one fears the energy of youth, and even the most powerful martial artist entering the twilight years will inevitably see a steep decline in their Qi-Blood, and despite refined skills, cannot avoid the slow retreat to decline.

Huang Jue’s actual age was far greater than his appearance suggested.

That was why he always completed missions with swift and decisive action, never allowing himself to get mired in enduring tussles.

What Huang Jue feared most was that Wang Chen would see through his weakness.

It was only a matter of time!

"Kill!"

The fifth-tier Martial Ancestor bellowed with fury, suddenly erupting with powerful force, instantly shaking off Wang Chen’s Qiling Spear.

At the same time, Wang Chen was also forced to retreat several steps.

Wang Chen smoothly took two more steps back, widening the distance between himself and Huang Jue, as he retracted his long spear.

The next moment, he abruptly turned back, his Qiling Spear transforming into a soaring dragon, roaring as it pierced the air towards Huang Jue’s chest.

The turnaround spear thrust!

This was Wang Chen’s first counter-attack since the start of their battle.

As Wang Chen launched his retaliatory strike, a sinister smile curled at the corners of Huang Jue’s mouth. The fifth-tier martial artist from the Hidden Dragon Hall didn’t dodge, thrusting his Soul Severing Spear towards Wang Chen.

In a flash, the tips of their spears crossed paths, the shafts barely three fingers apart.

An impending mutual destruction, a scenario of shared damage unfolded!

But the distance between Wang Chen and Huang Jue exceeded the lengths of their weapons, even adding three feet of spear blade wouldn’t allow them to touch each other.

As Huang Jue’s Soul Severing Spear reached its limit, he abruptly twisted his right hand, and the tail end of the spear shaft split open, connected by a slender golden chain. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

This allowed the Soul Severing Spear to continue thrusting forward without any loss of momentum!

The longer the weapon, the greater its strength; Huang Jue’s Soul Severing Spear concealed a mechanism, a trick he had relied on to kill many strong enemies, and had always kept as a secret.

However, what the fifth-tier Martial Ancestor never anticipated was that the very moment he detached the Soul Severing Spear, the tip of Wang Chen’s Qiling Spear unexpectedly released from the shaft, and struck his chest first!

Splat!

The half-foot-long spear blade pierced through Huang Jue’s Body Protection Gang Power and the Inner Armor beneath his straw coat without hesitation, ruthlessly plunging into his flesh and straight through his heart!
