Chapter 980: Chapter 980: Terrifying Combat Power, Shocking Xue Qing

It is precisely because of Lin Chen’s formidable breakthrough that over the years he has reaped many benefits, completely unscathed in combat against others.

Compared to his Body Refinement, after cultivating the Scorching Sun Divine Fist to the Peak Realm, Lin Chen rarely had time to train his physique.

Until now, Lin Chen has never met anyone who could break through his defense.

But now, the power of Xue Qing was so formidable that Lin Chen’s physique was somewhat overwhelmed.

Had it not been for Lin Chen being an Ancient Divine Body and having cultivated the Scorching Sun Divine Fist, at this moment, under Xue Qing’s punch, he would likely have been blasted to dust.

This was no exaggeration because if Lin Chen were to combat a warrior from the Reverting Void Realm, he truly believed he could pulverize them with one punch.

The cultivation gap between Lin Chen and Xue Qing was too great.

After all, Xue Qing was no longer at the Peak of the Nirvana Realm, but had stepped into the Half-step to Creation Realm.

"Come again!"

Lin Chen, overflowing with the will to fight, looked at Xue Qing and once again leaped into action, his power gathering in his fist as he took the initiative to attack Xue Qing.

"Hmph, ignorant fool, do you really think that with your physique, you can contend with me? The massive disparity in cultivation is something that no method can bridge."

Xue Qing’s gaze fell on Lin Chen, his eyes showing a mocking light, believing that Lin Chen’s initiative to attack was a death wish.

When they exchanged blows again, the resulting energy shock was even more powerful.

Lin Chen was once again sent flying for miles, and this time he confirmed that, relying solely on his physical strength, he indeed could not contend with Xue Qing.

The formidable power of someone at the Half-step to Creation Realm was something he currently could not overcome.

"It seems my cultivation is indeed a bit too low."

"However, there’s still room to strengthen my physique. If it were stronger, I might be able to contend with this guy directly."

Lin Chen thought to himself, looking at Xue Qing in the distance.

However, at this moment, after blasting Lin Chen away, Xue Qing also took the offensive, charging straight for Lin Chen.

Facing Xue Qing’s pursuit in the wake of victory, Lin Chen naturally wouldn’t foolishly continue to engage.

At first, Lin Chen wanted to test his strength after his breakthrough in cultivation, which is why he directly confronted Xue Qing.

But now, knowing that his strength was inferior to Xue Qing’s, continuing the bloodshed would be unwise.

To win, Lin Chen had to take action in other ways.

Lin Chen executed his movement technique, rapidly moving through the space.

Seeing this, Xue Qing’s mouth curled into a smile.

Clouds of Blood Mist suddenly emanated from Xue Qing’s body, swiftly enveloping Lin Chen, shrouding him in less than a handful of breaths.

Lin Chen, witnessing this, admitted a twinge of surprise.

Xue Qing was indeed the top-ranked young powerhouse from Red Soul Hall, with truly formidable methods.

However, this was because Lin Chen’s movement technique was hindered by the restrictions in this space, and the Purple Thunder Shield Beam could not exert its full effect; otherwise, no matter how fast Xue Qing’s Blood Mist was, it wouldn’t catch up with Lin Chen.

"Brother Xue, be careful. This kid is very strange—he can absorb energy, including the Yin Sha Qi of our Red Soul Hall,"

Mu Qingxue warned as she watched Xue Qing release the Blood Mist.

They all had cultivated the Bloodthirst Technique, and the Blood Mist was an evolved version of the Blood Thread previously released by Mu Qingxue, more potent and also aimed at consuming Lin Chen’s energy. The Blood Mist invaded and intended to swallow him whole.

However, having witnessed Lin Chen’s ability to absorb the Yin Sha Qi, Mu Qingxue felt uneasy.

"What on earth is going on? How is this guy doing it!"

However, just as Mu Qingxue’s words of caution ended, Xue Qing’s face changed dramatically.

He found that Lin Chen had actually consumed the energy within the Blood Mist, thinning it somewhat.

Lin Chen felt somewhat regretful because the energy of Xue Qing’s Blood Mist was much stronger than Mu Qingxue’s Blood Thread. If Xue Qing had retracted it a little later, he might have absorbed enough energy to break through to the Nirvana Realm.

But Lin Chen sensed that his physique might not have reached the strongest state of that realm yet, so he didn’t break through but instead allocated some energy to the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron and the Dragon Fang Dagger.

"Seeking death, kid! To dare consume the power of my Blood Mist, truly courting death, vomit it all back out."

Enraged, Xue Qing launched a full-strength attack at Lin Chen.

Facing the Fist Intent of Xue Qing’s attack, Lin Chen dared not be negligent as Xue Qing had unleashed his full power.

After the first two punches with Xue Qing, Lin Chen’s body was damaged, with cracks appearing on his arms. But, with the recovery power of his Ancient Divine Body, he quickly healed.

This time, Lin Chen did not dare to be careless and drew his Sharp Sword.

He knew that with just his physical strength alone, he was no match for Xue Qing.

Both the Fiery Flame Palm and the Scorching Sun Divine Fist could instantly obliterate an opponent of lower or equal Cultivation level with explosive power, but against a powerhouse like Xue Qing, these Martial Arts Skills seemed insufficient.

"Thunderfire Sword Technique!"

Lin Chen mobilized his Spiritual Power, transforming it into the power of thunder and fire, concentrating it on his Sharp Sword, and slashed at Xue Qing.

Xue Qing’s Fist Intent collided with Lin Chen’s sword wind, creating an energy storm ten times more powerful than before, furiously spreading in all directions.

Mu Qingxue quickly used her Spiritual Power to form a shield to protect herself.

In this clash, both individuals were affected by the storm, yet neither seemed to gain the upper hand.

Xue Qing had not expected Lin Chen to exhibit such formidable combat prowess, given that Lin Chen’s Cultivation was only at the Heavenly Human Realm.

This made him realize that the rumors were not unfounded—Lin Chen’s combat power could indeed severely injure his great-grandfather.

Xue Qing could not imagine that Lin Chen, with his current combat power, could match him, and coupled with the power of the War Department’s army, how terrifying Lin Chen’s combat power would become.
