Capítulo 1408: Chapter 1379: Showdown with Guu Bugui
After Li Chen jumped off the Windless Carpet, Li Xinsheng and the others didn’t hesitate much and rushed directly towards the distance.
Although some of them were indeed worried about Li Chen, they hadn’t known him for long. To fight a senseless battle for Li Chen wasn’t something they were eager to do. Moreover, they weren’t certain they could defeat these opponents.
As a result, they had little choice.
Taking care of Bai Tianyi for Li Chen was already the limit of what they could do.
“Humph!”
Guu Bugui watched Li Chen flee and couldn’t help but coldly laugh, calling to his two fellow companions, “You keep a close watch on Li Xinsheng’s group. I absolutely must have that girl sitting at the back, as for that guy, I’ll handle him myself.”
The next moment, Guu Bugui leapt off the Flying Spirit Instrument, chasing after Li Chen.
There was no denying it, Guu Bugui’s cultivation was far superior to Li Chen’s. With his Mid-Heaven Realm Late Stage cultivation, Li Chen had barely run a short distance, and Guu Bugui had already caught sight of Li Chen’s silhouette.
Moreover, the distance between them was closing at a rapid pace.
At this point, Li Chen realized he couldn’t outrun this guy.
But Li Chen didn’t give up; sitting idly has never been his style. In the past, even with just Roar-level cultivation, he managed to escape from Lieu Zhanxiao’s Great Scorching grasp.
But now, he was a Sky Approacher!
Guu Bugui was tracking Li Chen from behind, and he could clearly feel that Li Chen seemed to be gathering strength.
But he didn’t care, after all, it was just a mere Infinite Level. In his heart, Li Chen was incapable of causing any significant waves.
No matter what trump cards Li Chen had, Guu Bugui was confident in victory.
This confidence stemmed from his faith in his own strength.
When the distance between them shortened to around ten meters, Li Chen finally stopped. Almost instantly upon halting, he spun around sharply, seeing that a colorful energy had encased Red Moon layer by layer.
“Endless—Wind Roar!”
A slash erupted, and in the next moment, a violent energy completely enveloped Guu Bugui.
Back when Li Chen was still at the Roar-level, with this one strike, he managed to severely wound Behemoth, a Sky Approacher. At this moment, Li Chen’s strength was exponentially greater than back then, and among his comprehended powers, he now possessed an additional Light attribute.
Endless Wind Roar was still that single slash, but its power had increased by countless times.
“Damn!”
Almost instantly, Guu Bugui realized he’d been hit.
Facing this seemingly endless Blade Glow Storm, even he momentarily flustered.
But the Mid-Heaven Realm is still the Mid-Heaven Realm, and not to mention, he was also a Late Stage expert. Upon sensing the blades envelop him, almost instantly raging flames ignited from his body.
He possessed Fire Attribute power!
“Flame Law—Annihilation!”
“Sizzle sizzle sizzle—”
Countless blade lights, upon touching Guu Bugui’s body, were instantly burnt into Nihility by the flames.
The temperature of these flames was enough to burn away the blade lights!
Li Chen could sense that Endless Wind Roar was completely ineffective against Guu Bugui.
Even though he hadn’t used this move often, almost every time it achieved remarkable results; encountering such ineffectiveness now was a first.
“Truly deserving of the Heavenly Level.” Li Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the momentum of his blade condensed once again.
In the moment the flames completely burned away Endless Wind Roar, without giving Guu Bugui a moment’s respite, another slash immediately followed.
“Unsheath… Slash One!”
The blood-colored blade light transformed into a large sword, striking downward at Guu Bugui.
Guu Bugui’s expression changed as he sensed real danger from this mere Earth Level boy.
A longsword appeared in Guu Bugui’s hand, and fierce flames burned on the sword.
The blood-colored blade light struck the burning longsword, producing a tremendous booming sound.
“Boom!!”
Guu Bugui’s feet were deeply embedded in the ground, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
He was actually injured by an Earth Level guy?!
Guu Bugui’s face was full of disbelief. Though Li Chen had surprised him and seized the initiative, being wounded by an Earth Level was simply the greatest humiliation for him.
Not even back then, when he first broke into the Mid-Heaven Realm, had he been injured by an Earth Level. And now, decades have passed, and he had already advanced to the Mid-Heaven Realm Late Stage, yet he was wounded by an Earth Level, causing Guu Bugui to feel profoundly humiliated.
“You’re courting death!!”
Li Chen’s pupils contracted because he discovered that Gu Bugui, who was just defending against his blade light, suddenly disappeared.
“Bang!!”
A terrifying force came from his abdomen, and Li Chen suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood, his body uncontrollably flew backward.
On his abdomen, a terrifying fist mark appeared, through the large hole in his clothes, he could even see the scorched marks on the fist print.
Li Chen felt he could even smell the scent of his own roasted meat, after breaking three or four trees, he finally came to a stop, blood spewing out like it was free.
“Damn it, Heavenly Level power is indeed terrifying!” Li Chen cursed in his heart, his complexion uncontrollably turning pale.
“Even a Heavenly Level has weak points.” A voice sounded in Li Chen’s mind.
“Old Cang?”
“The biggest difference between Heavenly Level and Earth Level is not really power. In terms of strength, he isn’t much stronger than you, otherwise, how do you think you were able to injure him?” Cang Ku quickly said.
“Then what is his weak point?” Li Chen hurriedly asked, “Don’t waste words, if I die, you won’t have any hope either.”
Cang Ku understood Li Chen’s words and continued without wasting words: “The biggest difference between Heavenly Level and Earth Level is actually the law. Once reaching Heavenly Level, a martial artist will gradually comprehend the law power belonging to their attribute. And law power is the strongest power a Heavenly Level holds!”
“You mean, without comprehending the law, I can’t deal with this guy?” Li Chen’s face looked increasingly grim.
“Not necessarily!” Cang Ku said in a deep voice: “Using law power also greatly depletes a martial artist, much more than true yuan. With this guy’s Mid-Heaven Realm Late Stage strength, he probably can only use law power a dozen times or so. If you can…”
“Screw you!” Even Li Chen couldn’t help but curse at this time: “Another two times and I’ll die by his hands!”
At this moment, a cold smile appeared on Gu Bugui’s face as he stretched out a hand towards the distant Li Chen, his palm slightly clenching, and then squeezing hard.
“Flame Law—Scorch!”
The next moment, Li Chen felt surrounded by a terrifying heat.
Looking up, Li Chen saw that flames had erupted around him, forming a cocoon of fire that enveloped him, and the fiery cocoon seemed to be closing in.
“Fight it!” Ignoring his injuries, Li Chen bit down fiercely, his hair instantly turning red.
Originally, he planned to keep a trump card to deal with Gu Bugui later, but now it seemed he had no chance to deal with him.
Facing such an opponent, holding back was tantamount to seeking death.
“Blood Fury!”
A seductive light flashed across the Red Moon, and Li Chen’s pupils instantly turned blood-red.
“Wordless!”
In the next instant, the blood-colored blade slashed at the scorching fire wall.
The seemingly indestructible fire wall was forcibly cut open by Li Chen, who then drilled out of the fiery cocoon.
“He broke through?!” Gu Bugui’s pupils contracted sharply; he couldn’t believe that an Earth Level like Li Chen could cut through his law and escape.
“No, I sensed the power of the law in that instant, but… how could an Earth Level comprehend the law?”
Looking at Li Chen with a somewhat grim face, Gu Bugui reached out, prepared to strike Li Chen again.
Li Chen definitely wouldn’t sit and wait for death, with a slip of his foot, his whole body slid bizarrely sideways.
“Drunken Snake Step!”
This was an extremely advanced close combat movement technique Li Chen had acquired from Lieu Zhanxiao’s inheritance. Although this technique couldn’t be used for long pursuits, it was perfect for close combat, with movements so erratic that it was impossible to judge his direction.
And just as Li Chen predicted, after seeing Li Chen’s chaotic movement technique, Gu Bugui found he couldn’t lock onto Li Chen to attack.
Soon, Gu Bugui noticed that in the bizarre swaying, not only did Li Chen not run away, but he was actually getting closer.
When he reached a certain distance, Li Chen suddenly threw a punch.
Gu Bugui sneered, his fist fearlessly colliding with Li Chen’s, wanting to show him the insurmountable chasm between Earth Level and Heavenly Level.
But in the next instant, Gu Bugui sensed something wrong because in the punch that collided with Li Chen, he didn’t feel any strength.
Without thinking further, he immediately swung a sword at Li Chen.
However, before the sword had traveled halfway, Li Chen had already entwined his arm.
“Golden Serpent Twining Silk Hand!”
In the next moment, Li Chen unexpectedly released the Red Moon in his hand, tilted his head back and bit down on the hilt of the Red Moon, twisting his neck, spinning around Gu Bugui.
The blade speed was incredibly fast.
This is… Unsheathed!
