Chapter 51: Domineering
This time, both of them used weapons. Xia Youhui still carried that heavy shield that was as tall as a person, covered in spikes over ten centimeters long, resembling a porcupine.
“Here it comes.”
Accompanied by a low growl, a powerful and heavy aura erupted from Xia Youhui, and a faint earthy glow appeared on his skin.
Boom!
Xia Youhui charged towards Chen Chu, and with each step he took, the ground trembled slightly. It was as if a colossal turtle was charging forward.
Instantly, Chen Chu felt exhilarated, as if his blood was boiling.
Roar! Accompanied by a faint sound of an elephant's roar, a violent force erupted from within Chen Chu. With both hands gripping the sword, he transformed into a fleeting shadow, shooting out in an instant.
At this moment, his speed exceeded forty meters per second, and he crashed into Xia Youhui with fierce intensity, the straight sword carrying terrifying power that struck the shield.
Boom! The air exploded, resonating like a mighty bell.
This strike did not amplify Chen Chu's true power; it was merely a normal burst of strength.
However, combined with the kinetic energy from his speed, the force of this strike was at least close to three thousand kilograms. When it collided with the shield, sparks flew everywhere, and the momentum surged.
Yet, Xia Youhui stood firm like a turtle with formidable defense, his feet planted on the ground as if they were rooted, not even swaying.
The force from Chen Chu's strike was perfectly absorbed by the triangular formation created by his braced shield.
Under the black tortoise thick earth true skill, his aura connected with the ground beneath him... the cement floor. As long as he remained still, he could channel most of the impact through the fluctuations of true power within him.
To shake him, Chen Chu would need to unleash a force that exceeded Xia Youhui's by at least double; otherwise, he couldn't even budge him an inch.
Whoosh!
Chen Chu’s figure flickered and appeared at Xia Youhui’s side, his straight sword slicing horizontally. The sharp edge tore through the air, creating a piercing wind due to its incredible speed.
Boom! The ferocious strike was once again blocked by the spike shield, unable to move Xia Youhui even slightly, except for a shower of sparks.
Clang, clang, clang!!
Chen Chu circled around Xia Youhui, delivering several strikes, but they were quickly blocked by his swiftly turning shield. From a distance, it looked as if Chen Chu's sword was voluntarily offering itself to the shield.
“I told you, I’m really strong now.”
With a triumphant laugh, Xia Youhui charged forward with his shield, like a giant turtle flipping over, immediately unleashing a fierce counterforce.
Boom! The shield and the straight sword collided violently, and Chen Chu held his sword steady, his form just as unyielding.
“How is this possible? Your strength!” Xia Youhui was somewhat surprised.
Chen Chu smiled, nodding in approval. “Indeed, your strength has greatly increased after the breakthrough, both in defense and explosive power.”
“Next, I will get serious.”
As he spoke, Chen Chu’s true power erupted, and his muscles bulged under the stimulation of true power, a violent aura soaring into the sky.
At that moment, he resembled an enraged giant elephant.
Boom! With the enhancement of true power, Chen Chu swung his sword with all his might, and the air before the blade ignited with red sparks due to the intense friction from his speed.
Bang! When the sword and shield met, a deep rumble echoed. Xia Youhui felt an overwhelming force crashing towards him, causing him to involuntarily retreat several steps.
Each step he took caused the ground to tremble slightly, as the technique dissipated most of the force into the ground.
Boom!
Without giving Xia Youhui a moment to react, Chen Chu took a step forward, the ground shaking as a howling wind roared, once again striking the shield in the center, this domineering force pushing Xia Youhui back several steps.
