910: fishing

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Violent crashing sounds erupted like thunder, and dazzling waves of Qi surged through the Four Symbols Holy Land Branch.

The terrifying commotion shook everyone.

Boom!

At this moment.

A figure, trailing a white line, flew backward from the surging Qi, instantly retreating a hundred yards before heavily landing on the ground.

As soon as the figure landed, with a loud bang, the ground within a radius of tens of meters shattered, sending countless clumps of dirt and broken stones flying in all directions.

When the rolling dust was dispersed by the subsequent shockwave, Wang Chen's figure appeared on the broken ground.

At this moment, though he stood amidst the ruins, he was completely unharmed, his expression still calm.

Seeing this, Eye True Lord and Ear True Lord's eyes became incredibly solemn, even carrying a hint of disbelief.

Especially Eye True Lord; that last strike was his full power, yet it failed to break through the strange defense on Wang Chen's body, causing a perfect opportunity to be wasted.

Now that Wang Chen was on guard, finding such an opportunity again would be incredibly difficult.

Opposite.

“Hiss!”

“The Netherworld's number one assassination art is truly extraordinary!”

Glancing at the now incredibly dim Dark Night Guardian barrier on his body, Wang Chen said with a hint of admiration.

Eye True Lord's strike just now had a power that surpassed his own Realm, reaching the Middle Stage of Rank Nine, almost shattering the Dark Night Guardian defense barrier.

Such power, even in Wang Chen's eyes, was impressive enough.

However…

It was ultimately futile.

“That last strike should have been your strongest move. How many more times can you use it?”

Looking at Eye True Lord, whose Aura had weakened considerably, Wang Chen asked indifferently.

“You can try. We’ll see if I exhaust myself first, or if that strange defense on your body breaks.”

Eye True Lord’s eyes flickered with cold killing intent, and the black mist swirling around his body moved even more violently:

“As long as I can shatter your strange defense, this True Lord can take your life with one strike!”

As he spoke, Eye True Lord's figure gradually became illusory, then instantly leaped into the Void Realm, disappearing without a trace.

Even with Wang Chen's current perception, he couldn't detect any trace of Eye True Lord.

“This method of concealment is truly remarkable.”

Wang Chen raised an eyebrow at this sight, a hint of interest appearing in his eyes.

He had never seen such a terrifying concealment method before. Even compared to the Shadow Stealth of top assassin Awakeners on Blue Star, it was no less effective, perhaps even superior.

After all, from the current perspective, Eye True Lord's concealment method didn't require the major prerequisite of shadows.

“It’s a pity the attack power is still too weak. If he had the strength of the Middle Stage of Rank Nine, my Dark Night Guardian would be shattered in one hit, and I would have to activate combined techniques with the little ones to deal with him.”

“But for now, it's not a concern for a short period.”

“I’ll continue to entangle with them for a while and see if I can lure out that mysterious person hiding in the dark.”

Pondering, Wang Chen's gaze turned to Ear True Lord opposite him.

At this moment, the terrifying wound Ear True Lord had sustained from his sword strike had already healed. Only the bloodstains on her black robe and the faintly discernible mountain scenery indicated that Ear True Lord had been injured earlier.

“Such strong recovery!”

His gaze lingered briefly on Ear True Lord's chest, and Wang Chen subconsciously raised an eyebrow.

The offensive Ear True Lord launched earlier made him think she was a “squishy mage,” but he didn't expect her physique to be strong as well.

However, Wang Chen could tell that restoring her injuries came at a price for Ear True Lord; her Aura was three-tenths weaker than before.

“I didn’t expect True Lord Wang Chen to be so handsome, yet your heart is as hard and cold as iron. Your sword strike just now almost cut this humble one open.”

Noticing Wang Chen's gaze, Ear True Lord puffed out her chest and said charmingly, still trying to disturb Wang Chen's mind with her soul-hooking demonic sound.

But the seductive intent emanating from her had no effect on Wang Chen.

“Your Excellency, there’s no need to act coquettish here. I’m not interested in old women like you.”

“If you have any more helpers, call them out quickly, otherwise my next sword will sever your head.”

Wang Chen looked at Ear True Lord with disdain, his tone laced with mockery.

“You…”

Hearing Wang Chen's words, Ear True Lord's eyes blazed with killing intent; being called an old woman directly hit her sore spot.

“Good, good, you brat Wang Chen, do you really think we can’t deal with you?”

“This old woman will cripple your cultivation today, crush your bones, and suck you dry into a husk of a person!!”

“Attack together!”

Ear True Lord let out a cold shout, directly unleashing all her power.

With a boom!

She waved both hands, her Divine Soul Power manifesting as she mentally manipulated the demonic Qi of heaven and earth, instantly condensing two red long snakes.

As soon as these long snakes appeared, they lunged towards Wang Chen, their bodies continuously expanding as they flew. By the time they were about to reach Wang Chen, they had already swollen to fifty meters, their huge snake mouths agape, intending to swallow Wang Chen whole.

Although Ear True Lord cultivated the soul-hooking demonic sound, she also had other means.

Cultivating the soul-hooking demonic sound made her Divine Soul Power incredibly strong, far surpassing cultivators of the same Rank. Even by directly manipulating the demonic Qi of heaven and earth with her Divine Soul Power to fight, she could unleash powerful combat strength.

However.

“How weak!”

Wang Chen swung the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand, and two beams of sword light shot out, instantly intertwining with the incoming red long snakes.

“You call this level of control over the demonic Qi of heaven and earth something to show off?”

The red long snakes, which were powerful enough to level two small mountains, were directly shredded by the sword light, as fragile as if made of tofu.

At this moment.

“Don’t be so arrogant, Wang Chen! You won’t leave my Four Symbols Holy Land Branch today!”

After a short period of rest, Mystic Tortoise True Lord recovered his combat strength. Enveloped by a turtle-snake phantom, he leaped into mid-air, and the giant broadsword in his hand unleashed a massive blade Qi mixed with a bloody hue.

The might of this blade Qi was much stronger than before, clearly indicating that Mystic Tortoise True Lord was already fighting with his life on the line.

However, this was normal. The collaboration with the Six Desires Demonic Sect to hunt Wang Chen was originally a secret, but now it had all been exposed. After today, the reputation of the Four Symbols Holy Land would undoubtedly be in tatters, despised and even hostilely viewed by various Righteous Path forces in the Netherworld.

Under such circumstances, if Wang Chen could not be killed here, the Four Symbols Holy Land would suffer an enormous loss!

“Mystic Tortoise True Lord, although your turtle shell isn’t hard enough, your life is as long as a turtle’s. You were beaten so badly just now, yet you can burn your essence blood to quickly recover. Let me see how much more life you have left to burn.”

Looking at the terrifying blade Qi descending from the sky, almost filling his entire vision, Wang Chen chuckled, took a step forward, and, holding the Dragon Slaying Sword, directly met it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

His wild Aura surged, and intense spiritual light appeared around Wang Chen's body, making him seem to transform into a rising sun.

“Shatter for me!”
