Only to see Xiong Zhan roar angrily, then dash towards Chu Hanrou with seemingly clumsy but actually incredibly fast movents. A mass of yellow divine energy burst forth from his body, at this mont, he seed to have transford into a mighty beast, with nothing able to stop his charge.
At this ti, Chu Hanrou's expression was also serious. She had her trump card up her sleeve, the soul technique she had used on Lin Chen before, which ended in a smart move gone wrong. Although it was like showing off one's skill in front of an expert when it ca to Lin Chen, against soone like Xiong Zhan, who was of the sa level, it was a formidable weapon.
In the battle between experts, it only takes a mont to determine the outco, and this is not an exaggeration. Techniques like the soul technique can exploit a sudden weakness of the opponent and lead to a decisive breakthrough.
However, Chu Hanrou also had her reservations. Her soul technique was sothing she cultivated in secret, unknown to others, not even Qian Jin. She didn't want to reveal her full strength unless absolutely necessary.
Thus, she raised her aura to the peak, letting her full strength of the Divine Warrior Eightfold Realm out without reservation. Her hand was enveloped by divine energy as she launched a palm strike towards Xiong Zhan.
However, Xiong Zhan's reaction was equally swift, eting her with a palm strike of his own. Their probing attacks canceled each other out, and Xiong Zhan was now face-to-face with Chu Hanrou.
He roared, and his hand was again enveloped in earthy yellow divine energy, appearing hard as stone.
Monts later, Xiong Zhan's technique took shape, and he unleashed another palm strike towards Chu Hanrou.
"Mountain Crushing Palm!"
This ti, it was clear that Xiong Zhan was using all his strength. The earthy yellow divine energy radiated a powerful aura, making Chu Hanrou's expression turn serious.
Her entire aura surged, and white divine energy burst forth from her body. She gracefully moved her fair and delicate hand, forming complex imprints, then quickly drew a cyan longsword from her storage ring and shouted:
"Cloud Piercing Wind Slashing Sword!"
Following her shout, a white Sword Qi instantly ford, a few feet long and filled with a sharp aura, heading straight for Xiong Zhan!
Imdiately, the two attacks collided. Xiong Zhan's palm technique was heavy and solid, like a small mountain, and Chu Hanrou's Sword Qi couldn't cut through it at first.
Seeing this, Xiong Zhan smirked coldly, as the veins on his forehead bulged, and he shouted in a low voice:
"Break for !"
Imdiately, his yellow palm imprint burst forth with force again, causing Chu Hanrou's Sword Qi to shake violently, and finally shatter with a sword cry!
Yet the yellow palm imprint, although it dimd significantly after breaking the Sword Qi, didn't lose its montum, heading straight for Chu Hanrou's face.
But after it broke the Sword Qi, the yellow palm imprint also beca extrely dim. Chu Hanrou's expression remained cold as she casually slashed another Sword Qi, and the yellow palm imprint finally disappeared in mid-air.
Although neither was injured, in comparison, the outco was clear—their abilities were judged, and Chu Hanrou was no match for Xiong Zhan! If Xiong Zhan pursued relentlessly, adopting a close combat approach, though Chu Hanrou might initially hold her ground, defeat was only a matter of ti.
anwhile, on the side, Qian Jin and Xiao Hancheng were fighting fiercely. Worried about Chu Hanrou being at a disadvantage, Qian Jin noticed Lin Chen standing idly by as if watching a show, and imdiately shouted:
"Hey! Lin Chen, why are you just standing there doing nothing!? Hurry and lend Chu Hanrou a hand!"
Upon hearing, Lin Chen frowned, casting a cold glance at Qian Jin.
In fact, Qian Jin had long held the title of one of the top five external disciples, and over ti, he developed an arrogance, feeling like everyone in the outer sect had to abide by his commands.
However, he didn't realize Lin Chen wasn't soone he could command.
Seeing Lin Chen remain unmoved, even casting a disrespectful glance his way, Qian Jin was imdiately incensed, and Xiao Hancheng seized the opportunity to gain an advantage over him.
Forced back by the impact, Qian Jin turned his head to shout at Lin Chen:
"Lin Chen! Did you not hear ? Act now!"
Lin Chen was rendered speechless. Being bossed around repeatedly would even test the patience of a saint, let alone Lin Chen who wasn't known for his good temper. Feeling displeased, he replied bluntly:
"Annoying! Just mind your own business!"
"What? You!"
Qian Jin clearly didn't expect soone would defy his orders, especially a re fourth-level warrior like Lin Chen.
Originally, he was sowhat jealous and annoyed at Lin Chen for mastering Sword Intent. Now, having his orders defied, only added to his grudge against him. However, with his opponent's fierce attacks at hand, he had no chance to bicker more with Lin Chen, but his gaze did flash threateningly in Lin Chen's direction at intervals.
Despite his irritation towards Qian Jin, Lin Chen wasn't entirely planning to continue standing idly by. If he did, Qian Jin and Chu Hanrou's defeat was only a matter of ti.
Even though his relationship with both was not particularly good, and Chu Hanrou had once attacked him in a dispute over the millennium stone heart milk, Lin Chen, reflecting, realized he had barely survived thanks only to her use of the soul technique.
Regardless, they were all of the sa sect. Letting them be defeated without assistance would be unreasonable.
With a silent sigh, Lin Chen observed the battlefield. Seeing Qian Jin wouldn't lose imdiately, he focused on Xiong Zhan.
Xiong Zhan's attack forced Chu Hanrou back several steps. While she was contemplating whether to use her soul technique, a strong aura emanated from behind her, causing her to turn around.
Majestic aura continuously surged from Lin Chen, the cultivation level displayed was shockingly the fifth level of the Divine Warrior!
Chu Hanrou couldn't help but be slightly shocked, thinking internally:
"Hmm? He's reached the fifth Divine Warrior level already? That fast? But what does he intend to do? Xiong Zhan is a formidable eighth-level Divine Warrior!"
