In the outskirts of the Fall Thunder City, Li Fuchen12Li FuchenMain Protagonist and Shangguan Yu weren’t in a hurry to leave. They were waiting for the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor to appear.
Of course, they knew that with their speed, it was impossible to get rid of the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor.
After over a dozen breaths, an illusory figure appeared and it was rather close to the duo.
“The two of you are rather sensible and know that you are unable to escape from my hands.”
The Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor was very confident. There were less than ten individuals below the Law Phase Realm who were faster than him. Therefore, even if the duo escaped, he was certain he could catch up to them within a very short period of time.
“Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor, stop your nonsense and fight with me again.”
Shangguan Yu’s strength had improved greatly and she was just lacking for someone to hone her skills. The Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor was definitely the best whetstone.
“Courting death.” The Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor brandished his snake blade and shot out a distorted blade light.
Bang!
This time, the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor wasn’t able to penetrate Shangguan Yu’s qi power.
With significant advancement in body refinement, she was also at the combat emperor’s level, but she was a low-class combat emperor while the foe was a mid-class combat emperor.
“No wonder you dare to exit the city, it is because of your significant growth in strength.”
The Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor was rather surprised, but his surprised expression immediately turned into a sneer.
So what if her strength improved greatly, she would only be able to endure a few more attacks.
“Mind Wound incantation.” From far away, Li Fuchen formed the seal with both his hands and executed the Mind Wound incantation.
A severe qi presence was shot at the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor.
The Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor felt his mind was ripped a little and the spirit in his eyes had dimmed.
“You dare hurt my mind!” The Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor roared out and charged at Li Fuchen.
“Stay right here!” Shangguan Yu did her best to stall the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor.
“I want the two of you to die a miserable death!”
The Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor exerted his full strength to attack Shangguan Yu frenziedly. In just a few blinks of the eye, Shangguan Yu’s body had several new wounds.
“Mind Wound incantation.”
This time, Li Fuchen took a longer time to prepare. He shot out a severe qi presence that was like an arrow which penetrated the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor’s mind. It made the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor’s attack delay a little and he was sent flying by Shangguan Yu’s fist.
The Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor had a twisted expression and his intent to kill Li Fuchen was simply bursting through the clouds.
He had never felt such an urge to kill a person.
Li Fuchen didn’t care what his enemy was thinking and after he released the previous Mind Wound incantation, he was already preparing the next attack.
The Mind Wound incantation used one’s own mind as a guide to gather indescribably qi presence in the world to attack the enemy. Li Fuchen named this indescribable qi presence as mind energy.
The mind energy might be called energy, but it was impossible to detect it in normal situations. Only by achieving autoscopy, one would then be able to sense the existence of mind energy. Such energy was extremely scarce, but extremely effective. Li Fuchen realized that everytime he executed the Mind Wound incantation, it would exhaust his mind a little, but he would also be replenished by some mind energy. Over time, his mind was tempered and gradually strengthened.
Li Fuchen surmised that the mind energy was a kind of high grade energy. If the human body was equivalent to the ordinary heaven and earth energy, then the human’s spirit soul would be the mind energy.
Apart from that, the human body was probably producing mind energy too.
The advancement in qi cultivation, body refinement, mental state, spirit soul, would also strengthen the mind. The mind was essentially the mind energy.
Li Fuchen suspected that the spirit soul, true spirit, and spiritual awareness were actually related to the mind energy, or perhaps an embodiment of the mind energy.
In this world, all things should be made up of energy. It was the same for the rocks, plants, void, and also humans.
The only thing Li Fuchen couldn’t understand was the laws.
Without laws, the energies would most likely be in chaos.
The laws were like an order that allowed everything to revolve in an orderly manner.
When facing Li Fuchen’s Mind Wound incantation, the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor felt that he was becoming increasingly exhausted. It was as if he had already fought for ten consecutive days. He wished he could take a nap right now to replenish his energy.
“Mind Lost incantation.”
Li Fuchen was able to sense the condition of the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor’s mind. After seeing that his mind had declined to a certain point, Li Fuchen didn’t hesitate to execute the Mind Lost incantation.
With the guidance of the Mind Wound incantation, the mind energy in heaven and earth branded an illusion realm into the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor’s mind.
“Not good.”
The Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor bit his tongue to forcefully awaken himself.
“Five Forms Emperor Fist, Cyan Luan Dance!”
(TL note: The Cyan Luan is a mythical bird that is compared with the Phoenix)
A cyan large bird’s image burst out from Shangguan Yu’s fist. It soared with its extended wings and smashed into the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor’s body.
Pfff!
The Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor was injured as he vomited a mouthful of fresh blood.
There was an extremely huge difference between mid-class combat emperors and low-class combat emperors. However, he was still injured and the main culprit was obviously Li Fuchen.
If Li Fuchen was alone, the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor could crush him easily. But with Shangguan Yu restraining him, he wasn’t able to approach Li Fuchen.
Unless, the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor had a method to instantly get near Li Fuchen.
“It doesn’t matter. I have to risk receiving severe injuries to kill this person.”
The Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor gritted his teeth while his body suddenly burst out with dazzling red light. Subsequently, the red light dissipated and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Li Fuchen.
“Die then!” The Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor slashed his snake blade at Li Fuchen.
“Not good.” Shangguan Yu was appalled as she immediately blasted a fist at the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor’s back.
She never expected for the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor to suddenly increase his speed by several times.
Li Fuchen was already on guard against the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor. He didn’t believe that a mid-class combat emperor wouldn’t have any methods to turn the tide.
That’s why when the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor had a burst of speed, Li Fuchen wasn’t surprised at all.
In Li Fuchen’s opinion, it should be a formidable speed secret technique and it was at least 7-star. However, from the looks of the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor, there was a certain price to pay.
The Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor had indeed paid some price. The speed secret technique that he executed was the 7-star secret technique, Blood Sun.
Everytime the Blood Sun was activated, it would consume a large amount of qi blood. However, this secret technique wasn’t a body refinement secret technique and wasn’t as effective when used by body refinement martial artists. Only qi cultivation martial artists could bring out the most of its effects, but the qi cultivation martial artist’s qi blood wasn’t as robust as body refinement martial artists.
The Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor slashed at Li Fuchen with his snake blade while looking at Li Fuchen as a dead person.
He didn’t believe Li Fuchen could dodge this attack and he didn’t believe that Li Fuchen could endure this attack.
Li Fuchen’s expression remained unchanged as he said softly, “Phantom Substitute incantation.”
Pfff!
The snake blade cleaved at Li Fuchen and split him into two.
However, the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor’s face looked gloomy. As the attack didn’t feel like his blade had struck at a person.
Just as expected, Li Fuchen who was split into two had dissipated as it was just a phantom.
The Phantom Substitute incantation could form a phantom out of nowhere to endure a fatal attack from the enemy.
Back then, the Incantation Martial Emperor had dodged countless crises by using the Phantom Substitute incantation.
Of course, the Phantom Substitute incantation sounds incredible, but it was actually just a fraction of the Substitute incantation.
The pure Substitute incantation was a mid-class incantation, while the Phantom Substitute incantation was just a low-class incantation.
The Substitute incantation could substitute anything in the vicinity. It could substitute rocks, wooden blocks, demonic beasts, or even humans. If a person that was originally safe suddenly switched places with the incantation user to receive the fatal attack. That kind of astonishment and unwillingness to accept one’s fate would certainly be terrible.
Pfff!
The Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor wasn’t able to land an attack on Li Fuchen, but Shangguan Yu’s fist had landed firmly on the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor’s back.
“I, the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor swears that I will let the two of you know the feeling of despair.”
The Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor used the force from the fist to escape forward and quickly vanished.
Li Fuchen raised his brows. This was already the second time the Ghost Dragon Combat Emperor had issued threats, but he didn’t feel any deterrence at all.
