Chapter 534: I Came to the Right Place.
"Heh, then let me show you what a real gap in power looks like!"
BANG!
The moment Thunder Demon finished speaking, a massive burst of Qi Force erupted from beneath his feet. His entire body shot toward Mu Chen at a speed several times faster than before, leaving a trail of afterimages. The Thunder Gang Saber in his hand descended in an instant, smashing directly at Mu Chen with tyrannical power.
Mu Chen’s sharp brows furrowed. He channeled his Extreme Ice Elemental Power, meeting the attack head-on with his Profound Jade Fan, utterly fearless.
"Thunderbolt Slash!"
It was also a Thunder Attribute Combat Skill, but Mu Chen’s was infused with the Extreme Ice Attribute. This unique combination didn’t weaken his technique’s power—it greatly amplified it! In a single clash, the two were surprisingly evenly matched.
"Hahaha, good! Good! Good!"
The Thunder Demon gripped his giant saber, laughing wildly. His arm, which had been knocked back by Mu Chen, led his body into a rapid spin, shedding the impact force while reversing his momentum to slash at Mu Chen again! Against an ordinary person, this move would leave no room to react; the only option was to meet it head-on. And trading blows with the explosive power of a Thunder Attribute Martial Artist was absolutely foolish!
After all, what Thunder Attribute Martial Artists loved most in a fight was to force a direct exchange of blows! Only in such a scenario would the advantage of their explosive power be fully displayed!
But would Mu Chen clash with him? Obviously not! Because he was no ordinary person!
His Extreme Ice Demon Pupils spun rapidly, and not a single one of the Thunder Demon’s movements escaped those uncanny eyes. As if he had predicted it, Mu Chen took a step to the side the instant before the Thunder Demon struck. The Profound Jade Fan in his hand flipped twice, building terrifying momentum and a powerful pulling force as he unleashed his Vortex and Shaving Techniques, aiming to slice right through the Thunder Demon’s arm. His attack frequency nearly matched the Thunder Demon’s!
"?!"
The Thunder Demon, who had been laughing wildly while trying to force Mu Chen into a direct clash, was suddenly stunned. His hands faltered. ’What?’ It was because Mu Chen had stepped aside before the attack was even launched, as if he knew exactly what was coming. With that single step, the head-on confrontation he had just established was instantly dismantled.
’Not only that, but to force this clash, I poured all my strength into this strike. It’s too late to pull back now. If I don’t, my attack will hit nothing, and I’ll get sliced by that kid’s bizarre giant fan...’
’Is it those eyes?’
The Thunder Demon saw the unusual light in Mu Chen’s eyes. As the giant fan sliced toward him, his heart trembled, and he decisively stopped holding back.
"Thunder Power!"
With a great shout, the crystalline armor covering the Thunder Demon’s body burst with a brilliant radiance. Arcs of lightning, each over three meters long, erupted from his body, instantly forming a massive Thunder Ball that completely enveloped him. It was a perfect omnidirectional defense!
The Thunder Demon’s reaction was too sudden. Even with his Ice Extreme Demon Pupils, Mu Chen had no time to predict such an abrupt Combat Skill. His giant fan smashed directly onto the massive Thunder Ball. A paralyzing force instantly shot from the fan blades into Mu Chen’s body, blasting him and his fan away.
SHIING!
The giant fan slipped from Mu Chen’s grasp, its sharp edge embedding itself in the ground. Mu Chen, however, managed to stabilize himself in mid-air. After landing, he stared grimly at his palm. A charred wound had split open on its surface, revealing the fresh, red flesh beneath...
Mu Chen’s defense had been broken...
He lightly clenched his fist, the pain from his palm feeling unreal. He couldn’t remember the last time he was hurt, not even when he faced Long Xiaotian. Yet now, in a place called Holy Tomb Mountain, he had been wounded by a member of the Outer Mountain...
This Holy Tomb Mountain... he had come to the right place!
