Unrivaled, once again revealing its power.
After what seemed like a balanced strike, Zhang Lin excitedly said to Chen Chu, “Junior Chen, pay attention, I’m about to get serious.”
As he spoke, a golden blade qi suddenly erupted from the battle knife in Zhang Lin's hand. The immense recoil force sent him flying back more than ten meters, and then he gripped the knife with both hands, ready to charge.
Standing firm in place, Chen Chu held his spear and said in a deep voice, “Come on.”
“Eight Divisions Rotation!”
In an instant, Zhang Lin transformed into a golden afterimage, shooting out with incredible speed. The enormous battle knife in his hand had a golden blade qi extending a meter long, incredibly sharp.
Wherever he passed, the air was almost sliced apart, creating a pitch-black crack three meters wide and over ten meters long, an unusual phenomenon where the air was instantaneously cut into a vacuum.
However, despite Zhang Lin’s strike being more powerful and faster, and changing moves dozens of times in an instant as he approached, Chen Chu accurately intercepted him with a horizontal thrust of his spear.
Boom! The battle knife, which split the atmosphere, collided with the Eight Desolations Battle Spear again, unleashing an even more violent and terrifying shockwave.
A cultivator's battle is not just about brute force; there are also powerful true martial techniques involved.
Amidst the explosive impact caused by the eruption of dragon elephant true power, Zhang Lin’s battle knife retreated instantly. His figure flickered and transformed into three identical images surrounding Chen Chu, identical in breath and appearance.
As the three Zhang Lin figures brandished their battle knives, the shining blade qi seemed to tear through everything as they advanced towards Chen Chu.
Illusion, mirror image! Chen Chu's gaze remained unaffected. Following the direction of the incoming attack, he casually swept the spear horizontally, effortlessly deflecting the battle knife that slashed in from the left with the side blade.
Bang! In an instant, the explosive shockwave of true power erupted, sweeping away the other two figures.
“Good!” Zhang Lin, who had been exposed, became even more excited after being hit by an illusion, while Chen Chu remained calm, not exerting much strength.
Clang clang clang! Zhang Lin, who had activated his speed secret technique, moved at an incredible pace, stepping as if on a bagua, with golden afterimages swirling around him as he frantically attacked Chen Chu.
In his hands, the blade light flashed like lightning, and the enormous battle knife moved at subsonic speed, showcasing tremendous might.
But Chen Chu was not weak either. Standing still, he wielded the spear with black-red light flickering, executing thrusts, slashes, sweeps, and locks with ease, blocking all attacks.
It was impossible to tell he was just a few days into practicing spear techniques; he appeared to be a master who had practiced for ten years.
Especially since, although Chen Chu remained stationary, his attack speed was even faster. At close range, the spear he wielded almost reached the speed of sound, and each horizontal thrust would produce a sonic boom.
That was the thunder of the air being shattered.
Each time the golden blade light clashed with the black-red spear light, an immense shockwave would erupt, spilling true power and howling winds.
From time to time, a golden blade qi would fall to the ground, tearing the earth and creating a fissure several meters long. When the black-red spear light landed, it would cause an explosion.
For a moment, a radius of several dozen meters was filled with flying sand and stones, while the earth trembled, as if two ferocious behemoths were clashing.
The sight of such a scene made Tang Tian and the others in the distance wear serious expressions.
What they did not know was that at this moment, Chen Chu had not exerted much power. He was observing the strength of the dragon elephant’s dominance and the advanced techniques of the blade qi in its later stages, as well as their movement techniques and battle skills.
