Shen Yin Wang Zuo

Chapter 585: Challenge a Psychic Master (III)

Long Haochen could also boost himself to the ninth step for a short period of time, but wasn’t in possession of a spiritual pellet. That was the gap separating him from the real ninth step. At the time he managed to kill the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell, a certain amount of luck was really involved. Crocell had no domain, and demon gods only had their magical crystal but no spiritual pellet. Furthermore, Crocell’s fighting strength was far from being as great as his ability of Clear Vision. Another demon god specialized in fighting could be a far tougher opponent for Long Haochen alone.

That Chen Hongyu was using his spiritual pellet from the beginning showed visibly that he didn’t look down on Long Haochen in the slightest, using his full strength from the beginning.

A soft white glint rimmed Chen Hongyu’s body as if producing a gate of light. As Lin Xin’s Bursting Fireball was already close to Chen Hongyu’s front, Chen Hongyu lifted his right hand, and a white radiance immediately drifted from it. In the midst of the six spiritual pellet images surrounding his body, a strange looking rabbit-like magical beast appeared, swallowing the Bursting Fireball whole.

What a strange sight! The high temperature and far larger fireball didn’t detonate upon striking that rabbit, but instead disappeared at a frightening speed. That rabbit-type magical beast’s belly suddenly enlarged, and when it reached the ground, a mouthful of flames was spurted toward Long Haochen’s group.

What kind of magical beast was that? Let alone Long Haochen who couldn’t recognize its type, even Chen Ying’er was dazed. She didn’t know about this kind of rabbit either!

At the start of the battle, the two sides already made a full power clash. Chen Hongyu’s incantatory chant started immediately then, but mysteriously, the six spiritual pellets surrounding his body seemed to resonate mystically to his chant. It seemed that seven identically pitched chants were produced.

Long Haochen parried the Heart of Fire shot back by the rabbit using the Divine Snail Shield in his left hand. In his right hand, the Aria of the Goddess of Light stagnated, tracing an upward trajectory from the ground. Immediately, a reddish golden blade projection was launched at the distant Chen Hongyu, filled with extremely sharp sword intent.

In fact, they were currently separated by about one hundred meters. A mere Bright Edge technique couldn’t possibly reach Chen Hongyu’s body.

However, Chen Hongyu sensed it differently. At the time Long Haochen launched this blade projection, he felt completely locked. Although it came from very far, the sharpness of that overwhelming sword intent acted directly on his chant, greatly affecting his incantation speed.

What a powerful sword intent! Chen Hongyu’s eyes contracted. He couldn’t believe that these youngsters would really give him such pleasant surprises.

At the same time Long Haochen’s attack was launched, he led the rest of the team to charge toward Chen Hongyu. No matter in which circumstances, the most effective for a close-quarter fighter against a mage is to decrease the gap between the two sides.

But not everyone charged at Chen Hongyu. Han Yu, Lin Xin, and Chen Ying’er were left behind.

Chen Ying’er already started sitting cross-legged, clasping her Crystal Ball in both her hands, with a focused and dedicated expression.

Lin Xin was also chanting, with a different stance from Chen Ying’er. During the chant, Lin Xin’s feet always remained on the move. Every one of his steps on the ground left a footprint carrying blue flames. These traces of flame started to fluctuate intensely with spiritual energy, amplifying his output of spiritual energy.

Han Yu was defending by their side, the Scarlet Blood sword inclined toward the ground, as his shield was held horizontally. One light spell after another was dispersed from his body.

As a Guardian Knight, Han Yu was always overshadowed behind Long Haochen, but this didn’t mean he was lacking in strength. Quite the opposite, if he was put in another team, his current strength would absolutely qualify him as a king grade Demon Hunt Squad’s captain.

His releases of halos followed at an extremely fast speed, not releasing them in a certain area but on set spots. Each halo was only aimed at one person, and provided at least a twice-higher amplification than area-targeted ones. Furthermore, these boosts wouldn’t decrease with the increase of distance from the target.

Long Haochen’s charging speed was extremely fast. At the very start, he launched Lightspeed Flash and spread out the four wings on his back, covering a hundred meters in a flash and confronting Chen Hongyu already. He unexpectedly followed right behind his projected Light Thorn. Once again, the Aria of the Goddess of Light chopped against his blade projectile, pouring its power back inside the divine sword, before slowly slashing at Chen Hongyu.

Chen Hongyu’s incantation didn’t stop from beginning to end. Right as Long Haochen arrived in front of them, the six spiritual pellet images surrounding his body enlarged and blasted at the same time, leaving six rings of light on his body.

With frantic roars, six immense figures came out, sheltering Chen Hongyu from view behind them. These were six gorilla-like magical beasts.

Each of the gorillas reached three meters height, had bloody eyes, and was full of tyrannical murderous spirit. One of the gorillas took the initiative to sweep at Long Haochen directly, shooting deep yellow rays of light at Long Haochen.

Feeling his body coming to a standstill, he felt his body pulled directly to the ground as he was closing the gap. Gravity Technique.

That’s an earth magic he was extremely familiar with. The Ninth Holy Guard was expert at using it, and these gorillas were also earth elemental magical beasts, whose Gravity Techniques even had cumulative results.

Left with no time to determine the level of cultivation of these magical beasts, Long Haochen’s Aria of the Goddess of Light still struck outwards.

No ear-piercing shrill came out, just a reddish golden brilliance which elapsed in a flash, but instantly put the gorillas to a standstill. Immediately, a reddish golden light ray extended from his head to his toe, rushing out to the ground.

The powerful gravity could restrict Long Haochen’s Lightspeed Flash. Even a powerhouse of the ninth step would be delayed by the six combined effects. But Gravity Technique couldn’t contain Long Haochen’s sword intent. How could sword intent reaching the boundary of illuminated sword heart added up to the Aria of the Goddess of Light in a divine sword be so easy to deal with?

This was the true start of the battle. The other five gorillas also acted, two of them throwing themselves respectively on Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian, and the last three rushing at Long Haochen.

The gorillas showed very good tacit understanding. Of the three dealing with Long Haochen, two directly pounced at him, while the last one beat on its own chest, before raising its arm where a yellow brilliance blossomed. A huge stone of a diameter of one meter and completely made of energy was directly thrown at Long Haochen.

In his battle state, Long Haochen’s looks gave a completely different feeling. His gaze was calm and cold, and his entire body emitted an irresistible sharpness.

The Divine Snail Shield vanished, and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light took its place, from an initial jadeite colored gloss. Immediately, Long Haochen’s body whirled in its original location, producing a spiral of red and green colors.

The terrible fluctuations of spiritual energy also carried a domineering attractive force. In addition to the two gorillas rushing at him, even the one throwing its rock was immediately engulfed in this whirlpool.

With miserable shouts, the two gorillas just disappeared. The whole whirlpool was only maintained for two seconds before coming to a stop. And in a mingled red and green light, a dark blue crosscut projection was shot, shooting straight toward the last gorilla.

This held no suspense. How could earth elemental magical beasts of the eighth rank possibly resist the harmonious match of the two divine swords? This third gorilla was instantly reduced to shreds, and the dark blue blade projection directly chased after Chen Hongyu’s retreating figure.

Bladestorm was coupled with Instant Burst Crosscut. In this short Bladestorm, Long Haochen didn’t hesitate to pour a large amount of spiritual energy into using spiritual highland, then poured inside the two divine swords in the midst of his cross cut.

Haoyue’s evolution helped increase his spiritual energy one stage higher, while greatly boosting Long Haochen’s external spiritual energy. This enabled him to greatly reduce the backlash as he controlled spiritual highland. Therefore, even without Haoyue’s armor transformation, he was able to pour spiritual highland energy into the two divine swords, although the spiritual energy consumption would also become massive that way.

Long Haochen’s choice to launch a full force attack naturally had its basis. He believed firmly that with Chen Hongyu’s great status, he’d surely have some contempt for them. But as the battle goes on, this contempt won’t last for long. So he wanted to take advantage of Chen Hongyu’s current bias to create a decisive opportunity for their side.

As a matter of fact, Long Haochen’s guess was completely accurate. Although Chen Hongyu regarded these youngsters very highly, he was after all the head of the Spiritual Temple. In his opinion, even if these youngsters were even stronger, they were in the end juniors. He indeed used his full strength, but didn’t think Long Haochen’s bunch could be any threat to him. Seeing that dark blue radiance coming in his field of view, Chen Hongyu finally understood that these youngsters were strong enough to threaten his life if this were a true battle.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Hongyu let out a low shout. A black brilliance rose from him, before immediately spreading out to take the shape of a dark purple halation. The four brilliances immediately shot out, folding together in the sky to bombard the dark blue radiance unleashed by Long Haochen.
