Chapter 102: Thunder Shakes the Ninth Heaven

  Even the cultivators of the Spiritual Path looked serious, although the power of the two post-heavenly disciples was not considered anything in their eyes, and the spiritual method could only exert less than one or two percent of its power. However, the potential of the two was extremely great, especially Xia Chen, who was already so strong at the seventh level of post-heavenly cultivation, and would become even stronger in the future.

  This child's future achievements will be boundless, even surpassing ours... everyone thinks so.

  Xia Chen, great, too great, you grow up quickly, best to reach the peak of the tenth heaven in no time, and comprehend the primordial energy... Han Dongyu's face was expressionless, but his eyes revealed a manic joy.

  "How formidable! I now know that I am not a match for Xia Chen. With just this True Fire Palm, my Great Rain Universe Hand can't even block it." Xu Shaobai exclaimed in shock.

  "My seven-layered Shattered Star technique is also useless, alas, all these years of training have been in vain." Cold Star said with a bitter smile, then furrowed his brow and said, "Both of them were knocked out of the arena, does that count as a draw?"

  "It's not over yet." Lin Fengling said calmly, "As long as it hasn't fallen to the ground, the trial isn't considered finished. This bit of difficulty won't be enough to stump Xia Chen and Fang Ziqing."

  As soon as his words fell, his calm face suddenly swept away and turned into extreme shock.

  Only saw Xia Chen stepping down in the air step by step, as if sliding, and also like falling from the sky, walking back to the field with ease, without any feeling of free fall.

  "What kind of footwork is this? It's even more agile and smooth than my Lin Feng Micro Step?" Lin Fengling was shocked in his heart, stirring up a huge wave. He had always been proud of his own unique Lin Feng Micro Step, but after seeing Xia Chen's footwork, his confidence suddenly suffered a huge blow.

  He naturally didn't know that Xia Chen's cultivation was the Divine Realm's Body Technique, Flying Feather Guarding the Body, which was much more powerful than his own self-created technique.

  Fang Qing's slender body shook, using the power of the explosion to counterattack and swiftly return to the arena. As a Ninth Heaven stage cultivator, equivalent to a True Qi realm physique, her technique in using strength was naturally much simpler than that of a Seventh Heaven stage cultivator.

  Both of them were pale-faced, although they hadn't been seriously injured in the previous confrontation, but their qi and blood were still surging, making them feel quite uncomfortable.

  "Ant! You may be strong, but in my eyes you're just an ant!" Fang Ziqing glared at Xia Chen, squeezing out two words from between her teeth, filled with deep hatred.

  After her serious injury healed, Fang Ziqing made great progress. She thought that except for Chen Qiushui, there would be no one among the younger generation who could rival her. Unexpectedly, Xia Chen, whom she could have easily crushed a few months ago, had become so powerful that he could now confront her head-on, which was simply unacceptable to Fang Ziqing.

  Even if she wins against the Seventh Heaven of the Post-Heaven Realm, her power is still not enough to suppress the Ninth Heaven of the Pre-Heaven Realm. Even with a small victory, she has already lost, at least in the eyes of most disciples.

  Thinking of this, Fang Ziqing couldn't bear it anymore, and her hatred for Xia Chen also deepened.

  "You're still a despicable person, no matter how strong you are, in my eyes!" Xia Chen retorted fearlessly.

  He was never afraid of Fang Ziqing before, and now he is even less likely to have any fear. If Fang Ziqing wants to kill him, why wouldn't he want to kill Fang Ziqing?

  Fang Qing's face turned purple with rage: "You insignificant ant, you think that blocking three of Tian Lei's fingers gives you the capital to rival me? I'll show you right now what true power looks like!"

  She stretched out her arm, and with a swift motion, she danced back and forth. In an instant, behind her, it was as if the winds and clouds had gathered, and a fierce lightning flashed out. At the center of the lightning, a vague, gigantic head appeared.

  This portrait seems to be a woman, cold, ruthless and powerful.

  "Can you withstand the shock of the nine heavens?" Chen Qiushui's expression changed, "It's rare for her to cultivate her will to this extent, Xia Chen, can you withstand it?"

  "It's thundering in the nine heavens! It seems that Fang Ziqing has really used all her strength, I didn't expect Xia Chen to force her to this point." Xu Shaobai said.

  "Lei Dong's Nine Heavens is one of Master Xu's strongest ultimate techniques. Even if Fang Ziqing has only cultivated a tenth of its power, it's unimaginably powerful. It seems that Xia Chen will be very hard to resist. The True Fire Palm he used earlier was probably his strongest attack." Cold Xingchen said hesitantly.

  "It's not like that, didn't you see Xia Chen's expression didn't change at all? He must have an ace up his sleeve too, let's wait and see." Lin Fengling's face returned to its calm state.

  What a terrifying aura! It's even more frightening than that green-robed man's true fire aura. Yes, Fang Ziqing is a postnatal ninefold cultivator, so he should be stronger than him. Xia Chen thought to himself as he gazed at the scene calmly.

  His body was motionless, but it was vibrating at high speed, with a frequency of tens of times per breath. If this were to happen to anyone else below the fifth rank of the Heavenly Realm, they would have fainted long ago. However, when it happened to Xia Chen, most people couldn't even notice.

  This is the Feather Flight's Tremor Technique, which makes it impossible for the opponent to lock onto an attack. Fang Ziqing's Leidong Jiuchong Tian has a power that far surpasses that of the Thunder Three Fingers. Xia Chen also becomes more serious.

  Five fingers spread open, starting from the fingertips, a snow-bright blade edge with a sharp and fierce light burst out, not one bit inferior to the dazzling radiance of lightning.

  Bang! Fang Ziqing took a step forward towards Xia Chen, and the entire arena shook. This one foot was like stepping on the summit of a mountain, as if countless thunderbolts were raging beneath her feet, as if she was the embodiment of lightning, able to control everything.

  She stepped down continuously, although the speed was not fast, but it gave people an unstoppable feeling. Except for Xu Shaobai and three other post-heavenly ninth-level disciples, all the post-heavenly eighth-level disciples and below were pale-faced.

  Xia Chen gazed calmly at Fang Ziqing, the Heaven Splitting Blade's edge running along his hand and extending up to his arm, shining brightly, looking like two rows of extremely bright lightning.

  It's just this thunder, containing an invincibly sharp edge.

  What kind of kung fu is this? The crowd looked at each other in surprise, Fang Ziqing's kung fu was all related to thunder and lightning, and with the stimulation of acquired true energy, it could manifest the phenomenon of thunder and lightning, which was not surprising. However, Xia Chen's kung fu could also manifest the phenomenon of thunder and lightning, which couldn't help but shock people.

  Only a few of the Nine Heavens Sect's disciples noticed that the "Thunderclap" in Xia Chen's hand seemed to be not Thunderclap, but a snow-bright blade.

  Bang!

  Within a zhang of Xia Chen, Fang Ziqing's face was as pale as frost, her jade hand waved out, and the powerful energy transmitted through the air, once again transforming into countless true energy knives that fiercely shot towards Xia Chen.

  These true energy knives and swords all carry a fierce light, looking as if they were bolts of lightning. Of course, this is not real lightning, but rather the manifestation of Fang Zhelan's powerful aura. Even so, it has increased the power of his original true energy knives and swords several times over.

  "Ants, see if you can catch this one." Fang Ziqing's eyes flashed with lightning.

  Xia Chen's face turned solemn, and the sharp edges of his sleeves suddenly flashed, with both hands transforming into a pair of extremely bright blades that accurately chopped the howling Thunder True Qi knife into powder, turning it into scattered fragments of light.

  What kind of skill is this? How did you break my Thunderbolt Sword so quickly? Fang Ziqing's face changed, her jade hands clapped together, and the air at her fingertips suddenly burst apart. In an instant, another wave of Thunderbolt Swords surged out.

  Xia Chen stepped in slowly, his flying feather-like body technique was like a ghostly apparition, evading the true energy blades one by one. With each step he took, the sky-splitting edge grew more majestic, and even his entire upper body became dazzlingly bright. Countless edges emanated from his body, surging towards his right hand, instantly condensing into an enormous sword of unparalleled sharpness.

  All swords return as one!

  This is one of the strongest and most powerful killing moves in the Split Sky, and it's the first time Xia Chen has used it since he started practicing.

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  A massive, heaven-rending slash tore through the air with a terrifying sonic boom, cutting across the sky towards that shining purple figure.

  The fierce blade edge reflected in everyone's eyes, this slash, not yet arrived, but let people have a kind of being torn apart pain.

  Everyone was shocked.

  "A trivial skill! You dare to clash with me, I'll crush you!" Fang Ziqing shouted sternly, unleashing the mighty power of Lei Dong Jiu Chong Tian in an instant. Her slender jade hand seemed to be holding real thunderbolts as she directly grasped Lietian Fengmang's blade, and with a burst of true energy in her palm, she was about to crush it into pieces.

  Two strands of strong and fierce true energy transformed into countless dazzling sparks that burst out, between Fang Ziqing's hand and the Lian Tian Fengmang, giving people an illusion, as if it was giving birth to countless snow-white flames.

  Xia Chen's arms shook violently, he had used all his strength to unleash the Heaven Splitting Blade, but couldn't harm Fang Ziqing in the slightest. Instead, he felt a sensation as if he was about to be shattered into pieces. He couldn't help but feel shocked, it seemed that Lei Dongjiu's Nine Heavens Thunder was indeed not to be underestimated.

  Knock knock! Knock knock!

  His body once again emitted a heavy and powerful pulsating sound, the Seventh Heaven's Peak realm was fully activated, the Sky Splitting Blade Edge jumped up and down non-stop, not only did it not shatter, but instead became even more solid and dazzling.

  Fang Qing was also shocked beyond measure, her palm transmitting a sharp pain that grew increasingly intense and strong, with signs of being unable to be restrained, as if it would forcibly chop her jade-like hand into powder.

  This ant, what kind of skill is it cultivating? It's actually so sharp that even I, who have mastered the power of Thunder Nine Heavens, can't break through. Unfortunately, I only cultivated the lowest level of First Order Thunder Light Heaven, which can only increase my own strength but not attack. The Second Order Thunderbolt Heaven has some insight, if it is successfully cultivated, just one finger can make him disappear! Fang Ziqing's silver teeth were clenched tightly.

  Suddenly, her empty left hand pointed out, countless silver needles formed by true energy instantly took shape, and shot out towards Xia Chen's face like a storm.

  The true energy has been refined into a needle, and this level of control over the true energy has already reached the point of perfection.

  Xia Chen's face was expressionless, his empty hand suddenly flashed out a sharp edge, and in an instant it shone brightly and grew larger, transforming into a scorching shield that blocked the front.

  Ding Dong!

  The true energy silver needles shot onto the knife edge shield, instantly bursting open in all directions, occasionally a few roots penetrated through the shield and quickly dissipated into dispersing true energy.

  Look how long you can hold on! Fang Ziqing sneered and swung her hand, just about to make another move.

  However, she was fast, but Xia Chen's hands were even faster. With a slight movement, countless identical silver needles of true energy suddenly appeared and shot towards Fang Ziqing with overwhelming force.

  Although the Seven Layers of Tomorrow still can't transform into true energy, Xia Chen's power is too strong, and his control over true energy far surpasses Fang Ziqing. At close range, the true energy needle has a power that is in no way inferior to Fang Ziqing.

  What! Fang Ziqing's face revealed an incredulous expression, such a perverted true energy control, she had never seen it in her life before, this was simply not like something a human could do.

  She was originally very confident in her control over her true energy, but after seeing Xia Chen, this confidence instantly shattered into dust!
