543: How dare you show off your skills in front of an expert?

Afuna’s sword strike unleashed a torrent of sword light, enveloping Wang Chen like a downpour.

Each flickering cold glint carried the power to pierce metal and shatter stone; a normal Rank 5 native would have been instantly killed by this move.

But for Wang Chen, this sword strike was still not enough!

“Looks good but useless!”

“There’s no need to bring out such flashy, embarrassing things.”

Wang Chen locked his gaze on Afuna behind the sword light, sneered, and stood his ground without moving a muscle.

“Boasting!”

Seeing this, Afuna, who had just unleashed her sword, showed a cold smile on her pretty face.

“I see that of your entire body, only your mouth is the hardest!”

“Soon, I’ll poke a hundred holes in you, and then we’ll see if you can still be so sharp-tongued.”

As she spoke, Afuna put more force into her hand.

Instantly, the streaks of cold light became even more rapid.

“Is that so?”

“Then I’d like to see.”

Wang Chen raised an eyebrow, his left hand flashing like lightning as it came up in front of him, his fingers flicking out with streaks of afterimages.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang…

Though it was merely flesh and blood, his fingers produced the sound of metal clashing when they collided with the sword light.

When the sound dissipated, the countless cold glints that had enveloped him were all dispersed.

Afuna, even more astonished, retreated ten steps.

“How is that possible?”

“Is your body made of iron?”

“And that speed?”

She looked at Wang Chen with an incredulous expression, her eyes filled with shock.

Although she hadn’t used her full power in that sword strike, it wasn’t something a Rank 5 could withstand.

Yet Wang Chen…

Not only was he at ease, but he also took it effortlessly.

With just a single finger, he completely broke her move.

“You are definitely not a Rank 5. Tell me, which old geezer are you, hiding your true identity and not daring to show your face?”

Afuna’s expression became serious. She held her rapier diagonally and questioned Wang Chen.

“That’s none of your concern.”

“If your strength is only this much, then prepare to keep those B Vinewood Ox company.”

Wang Chen didn’t bother to answer Afuna’s words.

He was a good young man in the prime of his youth, so how did he become an old geezer?

If you can’t speak properly, then shut your mouth.

“Heh heh!”

“Hiding your true identity and still daring to spout such nonsense, it seems you came from the Alliance side.”

Afuna’s eyes turned cold, a sneer repeatedly escaping her lips.

She had already concluded that Wang Chen was a Seventh-Order Saint from the Alliance.

But Wang Chen didn’t care about that at all.

Before, he was afraid of trouble and wanted to leave this place of conflict.

But now that he had already made a move, he didn’t want to leave.

It just so happened that he had just leveled up to Rank 5, and his strength had improved quite a bit.

These three native Seventh-Order Saints in front of him could be used to test his current strength.

“Less talk, if you want my big treasure, then come and get it with your own abilities.”

“Chattering endlessly, it’s laughable.”

Moving his limbs, Wang Chen extended his hand and beckoned to Afuna.

“Courting death!”

Seeing Wang Chen’s frivolous gesture, Afuna’s eyes blazed with fury.

“You’ve truly angered me. Today, I’ll let you know what happens when you provoke me.”

Afuna said coldly, taking a step forward and charging towards Wang Chen without hesitation.

As she advanced, her rapier glowed with green light, and her entire being exuded an incomparably sharp aura.

“Prepare to pay the price for your words!”

In an instant, Afuna arrived before Wang Chen, her rapier, imbued with intense wind pressure, slashing down.

The green light enveloping the rapier instantly surged by more than three feet, its sharp aura tearing through the air.

With this strike, Afuna used her full power; even a Seventh-Order Saint of the same Rank would not dare to take it head-on.

However.

Facing Afuna’s incoming attack, Wang Chen’s eyes were as calm as water, only the corners of his mouth curled up in disdain.

“Petty tricks, daring to show off before a master?!”

He roared coldly, not even using a weapon, his magic Qi surging as he directly threw a punch like a cannonball.

At this moment, he was still imbued with the passive Celestial Metal Body, making his body harder than a typical Diamond-grade weapon.

The moment this punch was thrown, the air, which had been almost solidified by Afuna’s sword pressure, was dispersed, and layers of Qi waves spread in reverse.

Bang!

The next second, his fist collided with the incoming rapier, twisting the space at the point of impact, and a violent shockwave swept in all directions.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Afuna’s expression had initially been somewhat mocking when she saw Wang Chen blocking her attack with his fist, but after the collision, her face suddenly changed dramatically.

The rapier, imbued with magic Qi, was actually bent by Wang Chen’s punch at this moment, and the momentum of the punch continued, pressing the rapier blade towards her chest.

“Is this guy’s body made of refined gold?”

Afuna was horrified in her heart, and she moved her feet to retreat backward.

However, now that he had made his move, how could Wang Chen allow her to retreat?

Bang!

He stomped on the ground, shattering it beneath his feet, and he shot out like an arrow released from a bowstring.

In an instant, he caught up with Afuna.

Then.

In her astonished gaze, he launched a fierce offensive.

Double Fist Rapid Strike!

In a flash, streaks of fist afterimages tore through the air, pouring down on Afuna like a torrential rain.

Each phantom fist, after being unleashed, created a vacuum channel in the air. The biting wind pressure, at this moment, sealed off the space, making Afuna feel as if she were trapped in a quagmire.

“Not good!”

Looking at the overwhelming shadow of fists, Afuna’s face became incredibly solemn. She wanted to rely on her speed to dodge, but the air, which was usually unobstructed, felt as heavy as hundreds of meters of deep water at this moment.

This forced her to choose to take the attack head-on.

Swish, swish, swish!

Helpless, Afuna roused all the magic Qi in her body, her rapier creating streaks of afterimages as she met the attack.

However, just as she collided with the first fist shadow, Afuna’s face turned pale, and her pupils constricted to the size of a needlepoint.

The power within this fist shadow was immense, as heavy as a mountain. Just blocking the first one, her arm was numb.

“Damn it!”

“What kind of monster is this?”

Afuna was incredibly horrified. She specialized in speed and was not strong in terms of power. Such a brutal attack precisely hit her weakness.

In an instant, after only blocking four fist shadows, her rapier was knocked flying, and the subsequent fists ruthlessly slammed into her body.

Bang, bang, bang!!

Amidst a series of continuous collision sounds, Afuna was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.

With a thud!

A human-shaped crater dozens of meters deep was smashed into the ground, and the ground within a hundred-meter radius vibrated violently, sending countless stones flying.
