CHAPTER 72: Slaying the Three Heavens
Heavy footsteps quickly swept down the staircase corridor. Chen Chu almost covered several meters in a single step, his figure flashing as he crossed a level and rushed to the rooftop door on the sixth floor in just a few seconds.
Bang!
With one kick, the iron door of the rooftop flew out with a loud noise, but Chen Chu did not follow it out. Instead, he instantly crouched against the wall.
On the distant rooftop, a man dressed in a black tight suit held a rough sniper rifle, his gaze sharp. The moment the iron door was kicked open, he fired three consecutive shots.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
The bullets pierced through the doorway, blasting three large holes in the cement wall, but at the same time, he exposed his own position.
Two black figures flashed by, and the man's face changed slightly. He quickly dodged, and at the same time, a surge of red true power erupted from his body, marking him as a cultivator of the three heavens.
Boom! Boom!!
Two shockwave bombs landed and exploded, engulfing a ten-meter radius in intense flames. The powerful shockwaves blew apart the floor, sending countless fragments flying.
At the same time, a shadow flashed at the doorway. The instant the metal bombs exploded, Chen Chu's figure shot out, radiating a fierce momentum as he charged toward the edge of the explosion.
There, the man in black had blood-colored true power surging through him, his face pale.
It was evident that although he had escaped the center of the explosion at the first moment, he was still injured by the shockwaves sent out by the blast.
Boom!
A long knife whipped up a furious wind, emitting a sharp gleam that made the man in black's expression stiffen. The blood light on his body surged as he covered his two-meter-long sniper rifle with it.
Boom!
The sharp blade clashed with the gun covered in blood light, and in an instant, a substantial force exploded, creating shockwaves that swept away everything in its path.
Bang!
The battle boots hit the ground with a heavy sound. Chen Chu landed on the ground, holding his knife, his expression cold as he looked at the sinister man two meters away, speaking淡淡道, "I didn't expect the one hiding in the shadows to be a cultivator of the three heavens. Truly, a group of rats in the sewers."
In response to Chen Chu's mockery, Boer, who had high cheekbones and deep-set eyes, sneered, "For us cultivators, means don’t matter, as long as we can kill."
Then Boer said viciously, "No wonder you're a genius of the federation. To see me, a cultivator who has just entered the double heaven, and not run away—your courage is commendable."
"Next, I will break your limbs, skin you alive, and toss you into a nest of carnivorous ants to be devoured, making you regret coming here."
Chen Chu remained unperturbed by his threats, even revealing a faint excitement in his eyes.
With his power attribute nearing 150 points, his arm strength had reached 1,200 kilograms, far exceeding the 800-kilogram limit of the double heaven.
Plus, with dragon elephant skill and mind's eye bright blade both breaking through to the second level, his agility and physique exceed 100 points, his overall strength had surpassed the double heaven by a large margin.
In this situation, the double heaven cultists and cultivators were practically no threat to him, and he felt no pressure at all.
Of course, Chen Chu wasn't foolish; if he encountered a late-stage three heavens cultivator, he would turn and leave.
The focus of a three heavens cultivator had shifted to true power, with physical enhancement being secondary, especially since the standard for the three heavens is to fill the dantian with ethereal true power until it becomes mist-like.
In this case, true power provides a stronger boost in all aspects and can cover the body surface and enhance the defense and lethality of weapons.
But that was for a normal three heavens cultivator. With the cultist of the evil god in front of him, Chen Chu had roughly gauged his strength after the previous strike.
