Chapter 2036: Fight to the Death
Under Xia Xuanjing’s completely unreasonable, berserk assault.
Qin Chen’s temper was set on fire too!
Luckily, he changed tactics!
Wanna brawl, huh?
Then let’s brawl!
Who’s afraid of who!
Qin Chen abandoned passive defense.
He started clashing head-on with Xia Xuanjing!
He gripped the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade and went on a wild hacking spree at Xia Xuanjing.
The way the two of them fought was brutally savage.
Anyone who didn’t know better would think they were watching two vicious beasts tearing into each other.
Hell, even vicious beasts weren’t this vicious.
Blood sprayed nonstop!
The sounds of their battle made the whole world tremble!
Down below, Martial Artists of the Jingyue Dynasty who saw this were all completely dumbfounded!
It’s not like they’d never seen a duel before.
But they had never seen one like this!
Was this supposed to be a duel?
This shit was a full-on deathmatch!
Neither of them spared the other, neither gave an inch.
Injury for injury!
Blood for blood!
But for those watching.
Standing below, watching a fight like this, was goddamn exhilarating!
Not a single second that wasn’t high-energy!
Every second was insanely intense!
And it just kept going!
Both of them were pushing themselves to the absolute limit!
Both wanted the other dead!
But as long as the other didn’t fall, it was like they both kept that last breath of rage burning in their chests.
Everyone below could see it—both of them were already badly, badly injured.
Under normal circumstances, they would’ve collapsed long ago.
However, although Qin Chen looked like he’d gone battle-crazy.
His mind was ice-cold.
Xia Xuanjing’s strength was still superior to his!
So Qin Chen had to use tactics!
Otherwise there was no way he could have fought Xia Xuanjing this long!
Half a quarter!
A quarter of an hour!
The longer it dragged on!
They had already exchanged hundreds of rounds.
The entire sky hadn’t been quiet for even a single second!
It was a constant thunder of explosions.
In his wildest dreams, Xia Xuanjing had never imagined Qin Chen could brawl with him in close-quarters this long.
His strength was higher than Qin Chen’s!
Right now he was truly exhausted!
He wanted nothing more than to collapse and sleep!
On top of that, his ever-worsening wounds made his whole body feel like it was roasting in a pit of fire—unbearable pain!
"Qin Chen, keep your awareness taut, he’s starting to lose focus—that’s your chance!"
"Hold on! You have to hold on! You’re just one last push away!"
The Little Fairy, inside the God Devouring Crystal, kept cheering Qin Chen on.
They say the onlooker sees more clearly.
That saying couldn’t be more true.
She was observing Qin Chen’s battle with Xia Xuanjing, and could see Xia Xuanjing’s condition far more clearly.
Qin Chen’s mind had been wound tight as a bowstring the whole time!
At this moment, the Divine Power in the sixteen thousand Divine Veins within the God Devouring Crystal had already been completely drained.
Qin Chen could no longer replenish his Energy in time!
So he’d been holding on purely by grit!
Just as the Little Fairy said.
These past few days, he had fought for his life several times, and he was just this last push away—how could Qin Chen dare get careless now?
He had to kill Xia Xuanjing!
Xia Xuanjing’s injuries were getting worse and worse.
Blood flowed off him like water!
He might be insane, but being insane didn’t mean he couldn’t feel pain.
The deeper his wounds, the worse his pain.
In this state, his reaction time, speed, and combat power were all dropping!
The exact opposite was true.
For Qin Chen, who was fighting him—none of his abilities showed even the slightest sign of decline.
They were still rising!!!
He was like a machine, as if he couldn’t feel pain.
Xia Xuanjing couldn’t help but curse, "Are you even human?!"
He was starting to doubt Qin Chen’s very nature!
He was a man of the Demon Clan, and even he was about to hit his limit—how the hell was Qin Chen still clenching his teeth and hanging on like this?
"Minor Hell Technique!"
"Great Ghost Illusion Technique!"
"Divine Explosion Thought Pattern!"
That.
Was Qin Chen’s triple strike!
The Minor Hell Technique turned into three kinds of Ghosts—Yin Soul, Fierce Ghost, and Asura—all lunging at Xia Xuanjing together.
As for the Great Ghost Illusion Technique.
He’d already suffered from it once before, and Xia Xuanjing almost instantly shattered it.
Until the final Divine Explosion Thought Pattern.
Xia Xuanjing failed to react in time!
"Boom!"
The Divine Explosion Thought Pattern was one of the Ancient Ten Thought Patterns, famed as the strongest explosive Mind Pattern in existence.
Now that it detonated.
Xia Xuanjing’s entire right flank was blown open!
Blood gushed!
Flesh exploded everywhere!
Even the bones of his abdomen were blasted to nothing!
"Ah!"
Xia Xuanjing let out a scream and immediately plummeted from the sky.
The veins on Qin Chen’s forehead and neck bulged visibly!
He was truly at his limit!
This battle had to end now!
He gripped the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade with both hands, Killing Aura soaring to the heavens as he slashed down with a single strike.
"Soul Burying!!!"
For some reason, these two words suddenly sprang up in Qin Chen’s mind—this was Qin Chen’s self-created First Move.
Soul Burying!
A strike that could bury even the soul—let alone a mere life!
A kill-shot of a blade!
Xia Xuanjing’s pupils suddenly widened, his face twisted with madness: "If I die, you’re not walking away alive either!"
He charged at Qin Chen like a madman.
The Blood Spirit behind him looked like it was about to split apart!
The Little Fairy’s voice trembled as it rang in Qin Chen’s mind: "He’s going to detonate the Blood Spirit!"
Xia Xuanjing, not caring about anything, rushed at Qin Chen and took that blade strike head-on.
"Puchi!"
Blood sprayed wildly across the Sky Dome!
Xia Xuanjing’s entire body split apart!
This one strike was several times stronger than the Reverse Demon Dominating Sky Slash!
A Sword Technique doesn’t have to be of a higher Level to be strong.
It only has to suit the wielder!
Like right now.
This Soul Burying strike—only Qin Chen could draw out its full power.
Xia Xuanjing’s body paused midair.
It looked like he was about to fall!
But suddenly, a bloody light erupted from his eyes.
He let out a roar.
His whole body was drenched in blood, his mouth full of blood, and even his eyes were bleeding.
"Boom!"
He lunged at Qin Chen, and the Blood Spirit behind him detonated on the spot.
"Go to hell!!!"
In the Sky Dome, that was the last sound Xia Xuanjing left behind.
The Little Fairy’s expression changed drastically: "Qin Chen! Dodge!"
Qin Chen didn’t need her reminder; he’d already been on guard.
The only thing he hadn’t expected was that the previous slash hadn’t completely killed Xia Xuanjing.
Seeing Xia Xuanjing detonate the Blood Spirit and charge at him.
Qin Chen retreated at full speed!
But this Blood Spirit was too powerful!
The reason Xia Xuanjing had become this strong and held out this long actually had nothing to do with him.
It was entirely because of this Blood Spirit!
So at the very moment this Blood Spirit exploded.
That overwhelming force blasted out in all directions, as if it would bury all living things in its path.
Qin Chen was blown straight into the depths of the earth, his life or death unknown.
"My god."
The Martial Artists watching from afar all got blown away by the shockwave, their hearts shaking to the core.
This scene was something they would probably never forget for the rest of their lives.
It was like nothing in this world could withstand the Power of Destruction of that blast’s shockwave.
Even many years later.
No plants would grow here, and this place would become a notorious ’death zone’ in the surrounding area.
