Chapter 421: Chapter 213: Saintly Manifestation in the Mountain Village

The Ghost-faced Mountain Demon bared its fangs and snarled, letting out a strange, enraged cry. Its eyes suddenly turned crimson, glowing with a terrifying, vicious light.

It seemed to have reached a critical moment in its Cultivation. Though furious, it only cried out strangely, not halting its Cultivation.

"Vile beast!"

Chen Cheng was even angrier than it was. With a cold shout, he swung his Long Saber, which was wreathed in a sharp, gale-force wind.

For this strike, Chen Cheng used eighty percent of his Power Dao. It was wild and domineering, so powerful that even the void itself trembled.

Its might was enough to cleave a mountain!

The Ghost-faced Mountain Demon neither dodged nor evaded, taking the full force of the blow.

BOOM!

A deafening clang of metal on metal rang out!

The massive rock shattered. The Ghost-faced Mountain Demon’s body was driven deep into the earth, and the aftershock blasted a crater dozens of feet wide into the hard ground!

Dust and smoke rose everywhere!

Chen Cheng was also thrown back several steps by the force of the recoil before he managed to steady himself.

Chen Cheng’s Long Saber was forged from Profound Gold, sharp enough to cut through gold and jade.

And his Saber Momentum, concentrating eighty percent of his Power, far surpassed that of a Perfect Martial Artist of the Bone Forger Realm.

A single slash like that would have been enough to kill a Perfect Martial Artist of the Bone Forger Realm on the spot.

But a strike so fierce and powerful had clearly not killed the Ghost-faced Mountain Demon!

’The powerful physique of a Tier Three Demon Beast truly lives up to its reputation! This Ghost-faced Mountain Demon’s defense is probably comparable to Master’s Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt,’ Chen Cheng thought, inwardly stunned.

Before Chen Cheng could make another move, a strange roar suddenly erupted.

Immediately after, the Ghost-faced Mountain Demon shot out of the crater like a meteor, its arm like an iron club, smashing down toward Chen Cheng’s head.

This attack had no discernible Technique, yet its might was several times stronger than the Momentum a Perfect Martial Artist of the Bone Forger Realm could unleash at full strength.

It was, by far, the strongest attack Chen Cheng had ever faced.

In both speed and power, it was enough to kill a Perfect Martial Artist of the Bone Forger Realm.

Perceiving the Ghost-faced Mountain Demon’s true strength, Chen Cheng no longer held back.

He formed a claw with his right hand and thrust it upward, unleashing his Great Power Realm.

Waves of heavy ripples spread out, enveloping the Ghost-faced Mountain Demon.

For a moment, the Ghost-faced Mountain Demon felt as if it were being crushed by an immense weight. Its body froze, nearly unable to move.

"ROAR!"

It roared in fury as its Qi Blood Power surged, forcibly shattering the Great Power Realm to regain its mobility.

Its limbs thrashed wildly, creating a series of thunderous booms as it rained down blows on Chen Cheng.

Every strike cracked the void, threatening to pulverize everything.

Chen Cheng was shocked once again that it could shatter the Great Power Realm with sheer physical strength and launch such a powerful counterattack.

’If a single one of those blows landed on me, I’d be killed on the spot.’

’The power of a Demon Beast’s physique is truly, absurdly strong.’

But Chen Cheng was no easy opponent.

Pushing his Great Power Realm to its limit, he sent out heavy ripples that were like pairs of Iron Claws, grabbing at the Ghost-faced Mountain Demon from all sides.

Using his current Qi Blood Power to mobilize the Power of Heaven and Earth Origin, his might still fell short of his master, Mr. Zheng, who could take shattered iron filings and remake them into a perfect Iron Ball as if reforging it.

However, Chen Cheng was still strong enough to crush the filings into the shape of a ball.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

The Ghost-faced Mountain Demon’s body was seized once more.

Its powerful physique, comparable to metal, seemed unable to withstand the immense pressure of the Great Power Realm and slowly began to cave in.

It looked as if it was about to be crushed to death.

But that was as far as it went.

The Ghost-faced Mountain Demon’s vast Qi Blood Power surged madly, its body constantly erupting with wild, domineering Power Dao.

Ultimately, Chen Cheng’s Great Power Realm could not advance any further against it.

It was a contest of quantity versus quality.

Chen Cheng’s Great Power Realm, in both quantity and quality, had not reached the level where it could overwhelm the immense force erupting from the Ghost-faced Mountain Demon’s body.

"ROAR!"

As the Ghost-faced Mountain Demon roared again, the Great Power Realm was shattered once more.

Its eyes had long since turned crimson, and its skin was the same color. Instantly, all of that crimson color converged on its arms.

Its arms suddenly swelled, emitting an incomparably tyrannical aura.

BOOM! BOOM!

The Ghost-faced Mountain Demon focused all its Power into its arms. Wreathed in a boundless torrent of Power, it smashed ferociously toward Chen Cheng, seeming to shatter the very void as it easily broke through his Great Power Realm.

Forcibly shattering Realm Power with sheer Power was not the Inner Strength of the Bone Forging Realm, but the True Force of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm!

This attack from the Ghost-faced Mountain Demon was on the level of True Force! It was truly worthy of being compared to a Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm Martial Artist!

’If I gather my Great Power Realm to block it again, it will still be broken through, but the force of the Ghost-faced Mountain Demon’s attack will also be completely dispersed.

It doesn’t consume much for me to use my Qi Blood Power to mobilize the Power of Heaven and Earth Origin and deploy the Great Power Realm. The Ghost-faced Mountain Demon, on the other hand, is condensing all of its Qi Blood Power for this one attack.

If I just stall for a few rounds, it will exhaust itself. Then I can easily defeat it using only my Great Power Realm.

But how can I let a mere beast force me onto the defensive?’

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Chen Cheng’s gaze focused. He raised his hands again, and the Great Power Realm once more enveloped the Ghost-faced Mountain Demon.

Feeling the heavy ripples, the Ghost-faced Mountain Demon roared again. Its skin and fur turned completely crimson, and the Power smashing from its arms multiplied!

It easily shattered the shroud of the Great Power Realm and struck at Chen Cheng.

A flash of cruel delight appeared in its crimson eyes.

This single blow, it was sure, would slay the human before it.

BOOM!

The void shattered, and Chen Cheng’s figure suddenly vanished.

The Ghost-faced Mountain Demon froze for a moment. It then sensed an intense crisis, but the feeling vanished in an instant.

Because amidst the faint breeze, a sharp glint of a saber flashed by, and a line of blood appeared on the Ghost-faced Mountain Demon’s neck.
