Chapter 88

"Go to hell!" Accompanied by Bai Chen's roar, the long sword in his hand emitted a light that stretched dozens of feet and descended from the sky. (!Win call credit)

Rumble...

In an instant, it seemed as if the mountains were collapsing and the earth was shaking. Dust filled the air, and the long sword fiercely cut into the ground.

A sharp crack echoed, and with the blade as the center, the ground began to crack, long fissures rapidly spreading forward, directly aiming at Wang Chen.

"Fifteen-layered Wave Palm!" Retreating dozens of meters, Wang Chen narrowly avoided the sharp blade!

With a roar, he suddenly exerted force with his legs, dashing forward like a cheetah.

His palms overlapped, and the wind of the palm strikes roared like thunder, the air exploding with a loud sound. Palm shadows filled the sky, and he unleashed fifteen palm strikes in a second.

Each palm strike overlapped, eventually forming a palm imprint about half a meter in size, which hurtled toward Bai Chen.

This was a moment of opportunity. Wang Chen had noticed it the instant the long sword entered the ground! The seemingly powerful and magnificent move was actually ineffective.

Although it had great destructive power, the preparation time was too long, making it easy to dodge. This move might be useful for forcing the enemy back, but it was extremely difficult to hit an enemy who was dodging. At least, Bai Chen had not yet reached that level.

Thus, Wang Chen seized the opportunity.

The long sword deeply embedded in the ground, causing dust to fly, perfectly blocking Bai Chen's view, giving Wang Chen enough space and time to attack.

The Fifteen-layered Wave Palm came out with a roar, hurtling forward and reaching Bai Chen in an instant.

"Break!" With a roar, it aimed directly at Bai Chen's chest.

Seeing that this move still failed to hit Wang Chen and instead gave him a chance to counterattack, Bai Chen was shocked. He quickly pulled the long sword out of the ground and blocked it in front of his chest. The time left for him was too short, only enough to defend, not to attack.

"Thud..."

The Fifteen-layered Wave Palm struck the long sword, producing a dull roar. Wang Chen could clearly feel the coldness transmitted from the sword.

Buzz... Then came a long echo and the mournful sound of the long sword. (!Win call credit)

"Clang..."

With a crisp sound, Bai Chen's long sword could no longer withstand the intense impact and shattered.

Bai Chen was thrown back, leaving two long grooves on the ground with his feet.

"What... What, Big Brother's long sword was broken!"

"Impossible... We must have seen it wrong. Damn, how could this happen!"

This scene left the few people watching the battle in disbelief, shouting in shock. Bai Chen, who had been at an advantage, had his long sword shattered. How much strength would it take to do that?

Could a Ninth Stage Body Tempering martial artist really do this? They clearly didn't believe it, looking at Wang Chen with horror.

"Nine-layered Wave!" Seizing the opportunity, Wang Chen naturally wouldn't let it go.

Taking advantage of the broken long sword, he launched a fierce attack.

The Nine-layered Wave was unleashed, the palm wind howling, chasing after Bai Chen.

Seeing his long sword break with a single strike, Bai Chen's eyes widened in disbelief. He clearly hadn't expected this to happen.

A trace of blood appeared at the tiger's mouth of his hands, and his arms felt numb, losing all sensation.

Seeing Wang Chen coming again, Bai Chen suddenly stomped his feet, stabilizing his retreating body. He threw the remaining half of the long sword forward with a fierce expression, charging ahead.

"Chasing Cloud Palm!" With a roar, his hands formed palms, enduring the numbness and charging toward Wang Chen.

He felt a deep sense of frustration, having suffered a significant loss in front of a Ninth Stage Body Tempering martial artist, with his long sword broken. This was absolute humiliation.

"Boom..."

The Chasing Cloud Palm and Wang Chen's Nine-layered Wave clashed instantly, the two palms colliding and producing a loud roar.

Then, an unbelievable scene unfolded. Bai Chen was thrown back, landing heavily on the ground dozens of meters away, while Wang Chen's figure merely paused for a moment before charging forward again.

"Big Brother..." In an instant, the favorable situation disappeared, and they were now in extreme danger, causing the few people watching to cry out in alarm.

Not only the spectators, but even Bai Chen himself was in a daze, feeling as if the sky and earth were spinning.

It felt as if all his bones were about to fall apart!

The power Wang Chen unleashed in that palm strike shocked him completely.

As a First Stage True Martial Artist, his strength had already reached 3,300 pounds, but even so, he was cleanly thrown back by the full force of the strike.

That palm strike had a force of at least 3,800 pounds.

Was this the strength of a Ninth Stage Body Tempering martial artist? He didn't believe it. At least, a Second Stage True Martial Artist would be needed to achieve such strength!

Could Wang Chen have hidden his strength?

"Impossible... Absolutely impossible!" Shaking his head fiercely, Bai Chen roared loudly. He could clearly feel that Wang Chen's strength was only at the Ninth Stage Body Tempering level.

It absolutely couldn't exceed his own. That strike must have used some secret technique to unleash such power.

Thinking of this, his face twisted in anger, and he spat out the blood from his mouth, struggling to stand up!

Clenching his fists, he charged directly at Wang Chen.

"Fifteen-layered Wave!" Seeing Bai Chen still counterattacking, Wang Chen didn't hold back, unleashing the full power of the Fifteen-layered Wave for the final strike!

Each palm strike overlapped, instantly unleashing 4,000 pounds of force, hurtling toward Bai Chen.

Thud...

A dull clash echoed again.

Spit...

Accompanied by a scream, Bai Chen spat out another mouthful of blood, flying backward through the air.

Like a stone thrown forcefully, he crashed into a tree branch in the forest behind.

Creak...

The tree groaned under the impact, swaying precariously.

Boom...

He landed heavily on the ground, his body trembling slightly, trying to stand up, but it was impossible to do so.

Kneeling on the ground, blood flowing from his mouth, Bai Chen's eyes were filled with despair.

He had failed, and failed so completely, without even injuring the other party. He couldn't believe it. How could he lose to a Ninth Stage Body Tempering martial artist?

His hands, which had been numb from the continuous clashes, were now trembling, feeling only the intense pain, as if his arms had already been broken.

"Big Brother..." Seeing this, Bai Chen's comrades cried out in alarm, rushing to his side, carefully supporting him, their faces filled with worry.

Turning to look at Wang Chen, who continued to approach, they were filled with fear. His terrifying strength had deeply intimidated everyone.

Even Bai Chen, a First Stage True Martial Artist, had been defeated so miserably. Who in the scene could be his match?

"You lost!" Wang Chen said calmly as he approached Bai Chen.

Hearing Wang Chen's words, Bai Chen and his comrades fell silent, staring at Wang Chen with hatred but helpless. The previous battle had clearly shown the gap between them.

If it weren't for the one-on-one rules of the Starlight Sect, they might have already attacked in a group!

"This is the Starlight Pearl, you can leave now!" Taking out a Starlight Pearl from his pocket, Bai Chen coldly threw it to Wang Chen.

Wang Chen caught the Starlight Pearl and left without further delay, leaving behind a trail of hatred. He didn't care about any of this. From the moment he decided to plunder the team, he knew what he would face!

"Big Brother..."

Watching Wang Chen leave, one of them said resentfully to Bai Chen.

"Wang Chen, you will regret this!" Bai Chen glared at the retreating figure, his face twisted in anger.
