Chapter 525 - Traceless Purgatory Step
Long Chen against Chen Feng.
Now was the time for the most intense fight.
No one had thought that the outcome would be like this. Even the Clear Shallows King never thought Long Chen would make it this far. He was a regular black horse during the trial to enter the Ancient Demon Domain, and he was now an even bigger one.
Beast-like bloodlust exuded from the transformed Chen Feng.
Long Chen knew that Chen Feng had just reached the Ninth Passage Stage. Compared to someone like the Demon General Strongman, who had been at the Ninth Passage Stage for years, Chen Feng was weaker. Long Chen had only used the first stage of Blood Sacrifice to kill Demon General Strongman, so there was no way he would lose here. He also had the King-tier True Martial Demon Body, the Demonic Illusion, as well as the various techniques provided by the Inherited Blood Essence of the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon. Long Chen knew he had a chance to win here.
From the spectators’ point of view, two beasts were about to clash.
Chen Feng had always been a Beast Warrior. His Primary Beast Soul was a panther-like beast that granted him the speed he had right now.
“I don’t know what your beast soul is, but it seems interesting ...” Chen Feng revealed a blood-red tongue and licked his lips.
The battle officially started.
Chen Feng was so fast that he appeared next to Long Chen merely a moment after he finished speaking!
He’s too fast! Long Chen realized that his opponent was much faster than him!
But he had ways to deal with him.
“Blood Devouring Domain!”
He used it once more. Thanks to the pressure exerted from the Blood Devouring Domain, Chen Feng’s Qi and speed were suppressed. Even Chen Feng was surprised by how slow he had gotten. He felt like he was wading through a swamp instead.
Chen Feng didn’t dare to ignore the Blood Devouring Domain because this technique had played a role in Ying Shaotian’s death. In order to kill Long Chen, Ying Shaotian had chosen to ignore the Blood Devouring Domain and died before Long Chen even defeated him.
“What is this damned thing?” On top of having his speed suppressed, Chen Feng had no choice but to use part of his Qi to stop his own blood from losing control.
Now Long Chen could catch up to Chen Feng’s speed.
In just less than a month, Long Chen had learned to control the Demonic Illusion freely. It was just like the Divine Fire Clone, but the Demonic Illusion was stronger!
Long Chen was using his Demonic Illusion to form a pincer attack against Chen Feng! The Demonic Illusion produced another intermediate Heaven-tier sword. It was the weapon that Long Chen had requested from the Clear Shallows King. He had been offered an advanced Heaven-tier sword, but he was used to the Demon Emperor Sword, so he didn't need it. There wasn’t much point in getting a new weapon unless it was at the King-tier.
Chen Feng excelled in speed, so his attack power was slightly lacking.
“HOWAAAH!”
Chen Feng let out a guttural roar, and his aura exploded.
“Do you think you’re the only one with a King-tier martial technique?”
Chen Feng turned from one into a hundred, creating afterimages in front of Long Chen!
It was similar to the Divine Fire Clone, but rather than looking like humanoid fire, all of the afterimages were the same!
Long Chen knew that the technique was similar to Traceless Demon Shadow. He had used it countless times before. The technique produced afterimages that confused the opponents, but Chen Feng’s technique was much more refined. Each afterimage looked extremely similar to each other!
Hundreds of Chen Fengs appeared in the arena!
What incredible speed, and his movements are so bizarre!
Long Chen was secretly shocked, but he was also happy.
Chen Feng failed to sense Long Chen’s happiness.
“Traceless Purgatory Step! This is a King-tier Body Combat technique! Let me show you how powerful it is!” Chen Feng's laughter came in waves. The hundreds of afterimages switched between each other as if all of them were real. No one could tell which was the real body.
Long Chen had a panicked look on his face as he retreated while the hundreds of afterimages chased after him, launching a barrage of attacks as he did so.
“You think you can surround me with your Demonic Illusion? Let me show you what a true encirclement is!” Chen Feng laughed. Most of his attacks were aimed at Long Chen while some of the more powerful ones were aimed at the Demonic Illusion. He was trying to separate Long Chen and the Demonic Illusion just like how Long Chen had separated Ying Shaotian from Chen Feng!
Some of Chen Feng’s attacks were real, others were feints. However, Long Chen had no choice but to deal with all of them. Getting hit by a feint wouldn’t be an issue, but it would be bad if he was hit by a real attack!
“Sky Rending Claws!”
A howl came, and several afterimages used the same technique to attack Long Chen. Long Chen didn’t know which was real and which was fake. He had to dodge and evade like a madman as the crowd cheered.
Long Chen was losing badly to the King-tier techniques. Not only was he running like a coward in the arena, his Demonic Illusion was doing the same thing too ...
The Clear Shallows King sighed and shook her head. “I don’t think it’d be possible to defeat Chen Feng since he’s at the Ninth Passage Stage. He’s just one step away from getting the Emperor Flame Pearl.”
“The victor hasn't been decided yet. Jiang Cheng might not lose ...” Liu Yiyi still believed in him.
“You silly girl.” The Clear Shallows King sighed again.
Long Chen was being chased around by Chen Feng like a dog!
“Let’s see if you can keep running while I bet you up!” Most of the afterimages in front of Long Chen started laughing. Several of them used the Sky Rending Claws again to attack while the rest were dealing with the Demonic Illusion!
Long Chen and the Demonic Illusion were separated, while Chen Feng’s afterimages were concentrated in the middle. There were hundreds of afterimages, but only one was real. Chen Feng was changing his position so fast that he was never in the same place for more than a single moment.
Long Chen had actually seen through the trick, but he was feigning ignorance, hiding the fact that he could use Sight to track Chen Feng.
Sight allowed him to see Chen Feng’s soul changing its position at different speeds, but Long Chen endured and feigned ignorance to bide his time for a single chance.
Seeing his King-tier technique suppress Long Chen made Chen Feng excited. He was so busy playing with Long Chen that he dropped his guard.
Several Sky Rending Claws were launched at Long Chen, but none of them were real. The same was done on the Demonic Illusion as well. The real Chen Feng was enjoying the moment, watching Long Chen dodge and roll like a madman.
“Hahaha! Die! Sky Rending Claw!” Hundreds of afterimages laughed at the same time.
Long Chen's face was pale as he rolled again, but this time it was different. He suddenly stood up in the middle of his roll.
“Is he committing suicide?” No one knew why Long Chen had decided to ignore all of the Sky Rending Claws. He was going to take the attacks head-on! The Demonic Illusion was doing the same. Both of them were going to be torn to shreds!
Everyone shouted at the same time.
They didn’t want to see what would happen to Long Chen. Long Chen had gone crazy!
But to the crowd’s shock, their bodies phased through the Sky Rending Claws and emerged unharmed.
“Was he betting that those attacks were fake?” Everyone had the same thought, including Chen Feng. He never believed that Long Chen could tell which body was real.
Everyone sighed in relief. Long Chen was too bold, but thankfully, he was lucky this time.
Now that he had escaped the attacks, what would Long Chen do?
Fifty more afterimages stood before him. Only one of them was real, and Chen Feng was constantly changing his position. Could Long Chen find the real Chen Feng? It was impossible to do so even if he risked his life again.
Just then, both Long Chen and the Demonic Illusion charged at a specific afterimage. Everyone held their breath. Was Long Chen putting it all on the line?
Long Chen swiftly ran past several afterimages and focused his attack on a single one. The crowd didn’t know what was happening, but Chen Feng did, because Long Chen was attacking his real body!
He never thought Long Chen would find his real body since his master, the Azure Purgatory King, had told him that only those at the Demon Emperor’s level could tell which was his real body. So how had Long Chen and his Demonic Illusion found his real body in such a short amount of time and launched their most deadly attack at the same time?
