Meanwhile, in two other regions, two streaks of yellow light and one of black light shot toward Mu Chen. Because of his sudden eruption of power, the entire Mist Forest was thrown into an uproar! Countless figures surged in that direction...
"Heh, so you did have a trump card!! But no matter how strong it is, I’ll shatter it all the same! Lightning Piercing!"
With a low shout, the Thunder Demon shot backward, his saber held horizontally. Yet, he leaned slightly forward, and Thunder Light flickered at the saber’s tip like a lone star in the pitch-black night. Around this point of light, lightning spiraled out in a vortex, releasing a piercing aura.
TSSS...
The charge complete, the Thunder Demon’s backward momentum vanished. As if defying inertia, he reversed direction and shot toward Mu Chen, his speed dozens of times faster than his retreat, aiming to run him through!
"Die!"
Indeed, if Mu Chen were to be pierced by this thunderous blow, he would be left dead or crippled. But would the Thunder Demon’s attack truly land? The answer was a resounding no. Just as the tip of his saber was about to pierce Mu Chen’s body, the two giant dragons coiling in the air flew into a rage. They descended from the heavens, crashing down and slamming violently into Mu Chen. The impact generated a massive shockwave of Primordial Power that brutally knocked the Thunder Demon back. The Thunder Attribute Elemental Power gathered on his Thunder Gang Saber instantly dispersed. The Lightning Piercing technique was shattered!
As for Mu Chen, his appearance had undergone a dramatic transformation. A black and blue mask now completely concealed his fair features, and a mysterious, devilishly charming aura emanated from him. Even the surrounding trees seemed to sense his terrifying power!
His long blue hair whipped up in the blast of Powerful Qi, and a gray, ethereal aura surrounded him, making him seem illusory. But none of that was as shocking as the sight of his two arms.
They were an extraordinary pair of arms. His left was encased in ice-blue Profound Crystal Dragon Armor, its sharp Ice Crystal Claws glinting in the sunlight. A frigid aura, composed of countless wisps of cold air, swirled around the crystalline glow.
His right arm was wreathed in black Demonic Flame. Strange, crimson patterns surfaced on the pitch-black limb, pulsing with light like molten magma.
’This... What in the world is this Secret Technique? To cause such a drastic transformation!’
The Thunder Demon was aghast, but an intense sense of danger made him instinctively tighten his grip on the Thunder Gang Saber. Unleashing all of his Primordial Power, he slashed at Mu Chen!
Little did he know, it wasn’t just the Thunder Demon whose demeanor had shifted after activating his Thunder Armor. Mu Chen’s personality would also change upon activating the Profound Dragon Arm and the Nether Bone Arm. And it wasn’t a minor shift—it was a fundamental transformation.
The black-and-blue mask on Mu Chen’s face hid his expression, but from his eyes alone, the Thunder Demon could see utter contempt. ’I am a Five-Ring Emperor! How can I tolerate being looked down upon by a mere First-Ring Martial Sect?!’
"Hmph!"
Mu Chen let out a cold snort. Facing the Thunder Demon’s slash, he held nothing back. With a single thought, a petal on the spinning Red Lotus Ice Crystal behind him shattered with a CRACK! Countless ice particles instantly converged on his Profound Dragon Arm. In a flash, the Profound Dragon Arm erupted in a brilliant blue light, and Mu Chen felt immense power surge through his left arm. He twisted his body and threw a vicious punch to meet the Thunder Demon’s blade!
BOOM!!
The release of immense Primordial Power sent violent tremors through space. Ripples spread out from Mu Chen’s fist as his punch slammed into the Thunder Gang Saber, viciously driving it back against the Thunder Demon’s chest.
But as the Thunder Demon saw his own Thunder Gang Saber hurtling toward him, his years of Combat Awareness took over. In an instant, with almost no time to react, he managed to flip the weapon over. As a result, it was only the flat of the blade that slammed into his chest.
BOOM!
’This power...’
The Thunder Demon’s face darkened, and blood seeped from his gums from the sheer force of the blow. Powerless to resist, he was sent flying backward like a kite with a severed string.
