Chapter 7169 Battle of Attrition
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
“Even someone as powerful as Li Yifu doesn’t dare to get close to Long Chen! He’s expending so much energy just to keep him back!”
The spectators were stunned to witness this result. Just now, Li Yifu had truly suffered at Long Chen’s hands. Long Chen’s three moves had practically reached the epitome of what was possible. In close-range combat, it could be said that he had reached a peak from which he could look down upon all others.
It wasn’t just his tremendous experience; it was also a certain talent that could not be missing. Without this talent, no amount of experience could possibly make someone able to fight this way.
Realizing just how terrifying Long Chen was in close quarters, Li Yifu immediately knew he had to keep his enemy at a distance. Yet his powerful domain had already been countered, so all he could do now was unleash massive wide-area attacks and hope for the best.
With one stamp of Li Yifu’s foot, a wave made of law power surged out in all directions.
Long Chen snorted and grabbed Evilmoon with both hands. His Heaven-Earth power circulated, and cold light flashed out of Evilmoon.
“Heaven Splitting Slash!”
A giant saber-image rose into the heavens. Its power was incredibly concentrated; despite reaching past the clouds, it was only a few feet thick. With Miao Yin and Zi Yan’s support, Long Chen’s power had been elevated to an unprecedented level, and the best part was that this boost didn’t cause him to lose control. None of the power infused into this attack leaked out.
BOOM!
The giant wave was split open by the massive saber-image, shocking the spectators. For a moment, nobody knew what was going on. It was obvious to everyone, due to the auras they emanated, that the saber was much weaker than the wave. But then they understood—the power of the saber was perfectly concentrated, so it wasn’t as weak as it seemed, and more importantly, the wave’s power was not uniform. There were weaker and stronger areas, and the saber had struck one such weak spot, opening up a gap several feet wide.
Long Chen dashed through that gap and directly charged towards Li Yifu.
“Lightning God Slash!” shouted Long Chen, swinging his saber once more. Thunderforce boomed.
“Hmph, do you think I am afraid of an ant like you?!” Li Yifu roared and waved his hand. A dark-golden staff appeared in his hand.
BOOM!
Long Chen’s lightning blade was blasted apart by the staff. A rain of lightning sizzled and faded.
“It’s a Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapon! He’s actually using a Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapon!”
More startled cries rang out. A half-step Heavenly Sovereign was not just unleashing his full power to fight a middle-stage Sovereign Lord, but even using a Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapon. It was easy to tell that Li Yifu was an extremely cautious man. He did not make a move unless he really had to, and when he did, he went all out. Furthermore, his status and dignity did not prevent him from doing what needed to be done. If he could get rid of Long Chen, whatever gossip surrounded him would not affect him in the slightest.
Yet once Li Yifu destroyed Long Chen’s lightning blade, he discovered that he had lost track of Long Chen.
“Lightning law—Thousand Lightning God Slashes!”
As if to answer his unvoiced question, a furious roar rang out from high above. He raised his head to see that tribulation clouds had filled the sky at some point. A massive lightning dragon danced in the clouds, and terrifying heavenly might enveloped the battlefield. The apocalyptic pressure made people’s souls shudder. This aura made them think of heavenly punishment.
Following Long Chen’s roar, over a thousand lightning blades tore out of the void and rained down on Li Yifu.
“Heavens, is Long Chen’s law power limitless? How can he do this?!”
This move completely toppled people’s understanding of law divine techniques. After all, a person’s law power was limited. Law divine techniques allowed a person to use their limited law power to resonate with the law power of the outside world and boost their power. But no matter how proficiently they were used and how much power they drew from the environment, in the end, they still required some of the user’s own power. Nobody could use them limitlessly.
Well, nobody apart from Long Chen. The spectators were naturally unaware that his law power was quite literally limitless; strictly in terms of law power, he could keep fighting for three days and nights. He could fight until all the world’s energy was exhausted. Sadly, he was limited by other factors.
“You are laughably ignorant of the power gap between us! You have no idea how strong a half-step Heavenly Sovereign is!” Li Yifu sneered.
However, he was not the slightest bit careless. He waved his staff, and its many runes lit up. A massive barrier appeared in the sky. The lightning blade slammed into the barrier, and the sheer force of the impact caused it to tremble and ripple. Yet in the end, it endured.
“You old fogey, you only know how to hide behind a tortoise shell and spout arrogant shit. Does your face not hurt?” Long Chen’s mocking voice rang out from within the lightning clouds.
“You…!” Li Yifu faltered when he heard that. Thinking of that slap just now made him feel like his chest would burst with rage. He truly had lost all face this time. Even if he killed Long Chen, this would be a stain on his reputation for the rest of his life.
“Brat, you really are courting death!” Li Yifu was about to charge through the lightning blades just to attack Long Chen among the clouds. But suddenly, he paused. With his understanding of Long Chen, he felt that the lightning clouds were the setup for some kind of scheme, and that was why Long Chen was hiding there. This might just be bait.
“An ant has scared you this badly? It seems that the reason you survived through the primal chaos era wasn’t your power, but your lack of balls!” Long Chen’s voice rang out once more.
The flames of fury raged in Li Yifu’s heart, but the angrier he got, the more he felt that this was bait. Although he didn’t know what Long Chen was planning, this sudden change in attitude made him wary. Long Chen was right about one thing—the reason Li Yifu had lived to this age was, without a doubt, that he had spent a lifetime being cautious.
“Brat, don’t think you can provoke me with such childish taunts. I want to see just how long you can maintain this kind of assault!” sneered Li Yifu.
Those who heard this stared at him contemptuously. With these words, he was basically just confirming that Long Chen was right and he really was a coward. He, a grand half-step Heavenly Sovereign, was too afraid to take the initiative to attack a little Sovereign Lord.
At the same time, they had to admire Li Yifu’s patience. The Immortal Ascension Gate’s disciples and higher-ups had almost all been killed, but he had waited until now to show up. Even once he showed up, he refused to take any risk when fighting Long Chen. They couldn’t look down on him too hard; after all, being able to become such a cowardly half-step Heavenly Sovereign was an impressive feat in and of itself.
The lightning blades poured down like a waterfall. They were simply uncountable. At first, people assumed that there was no way Long Chen could last for long; this crazed assault had to end soon. However, an incense stick’s worth of time passed and the lightning blades didn’t stop. In fact, more and more of them appeared, and their power grew.
People were stunned. How could a single man’s law power be so immense? Was he even human?
“Hmph, let’s see how long you can last!” Li Yifu was also shocked inside, but he put on a contemptuous expression.
After an hour passed, everyone felt numb.
After another hour, the lightning blades were still raining down, not showing any signs of stopping. Li Yifu’s expression finally started to change.
Damn, his goal from the start was a battle of attrition!
