Chapter 533: Chapter 261: A Casual Move

The Mental Realm Combined Attack Skill, unleashed by the four working in concert, stacked their Killing Realm auras.

Even though they had only reached the First Layer of the Killing Realm, their combined effort faintly unleashed the Realm Power of the Second Layer.

Combined with the condensed nature of the Killing Realm itself and the sharpness of their Divine Blade Level Weapons amplifying the Realm Power of their auras, the might of the Mental Realm Combined Attack Skill was monstrous, threatening to change the very color of the sky and earth!

A single swing filled the air with a frenzied, incredibly violent killing aura, poised to shatter all, slay all!

The peerless killing intent was like thousands of soldiers on a wild, trampling charge—utterly terrifying!

Even from over a hundred zhang away, everyone present felt their hearts pound in terror. It was as if they were suffocating, and they couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

"Not good!"

Amidst the gasps of alarm, two figures shot out from the pavilion, streaking toward the fight at top speed.

They were none other than Xiao Nianci and Xia Lingfeng!

But even though they possessed the power of Organ Refining Realm Perfection and moved like lightning by pushing their Primordial Gang True Force to the absolute limit, they were still a step too late.

BOOM!

A deafening, earth-shattering explosion suddenly erupted.

Yang Poman and the other three had just unleashed their Mental Realm Combined Attack Skill, the Profound Moon Slash. Before it could fully materialize, it was suddenly shattered.

Chen Cheng’s tall frame burst forth from the blast, his body faintly covered in layers upon layers of phantasmal Dragon Scale Armor.

With his fingers joined like a blade and wreathed in heavy ripples of force, he crashed into Yang Poman and the other three.

Yang Poman and the others had exhausted their Qi Blood Power to unleash the Mental Realm Combined Attack Skill. Now, completely spent, how could they possibly resist?

BOOM!

Another muffled boom rang out. The four men were sent flying like kites with severed strings, crashing several zhang away.

They crashed to the ground, spraying blood from their mouths before fainting. Whether they were dead or alive was unknown.

Chen Cheng’s movements slowed. Step by step, he walked toward the crowd.

His gaze was sharp and his expression stern. The phantasmal Dragon Scale Armor made his frame seem even taller and more imposing.

He radiated an unparalleled battle intent, like a Celestial God descending to the mortal realm!

THUD! THUD! THUD!

Each step was incredibly heavy, making the ground tremble and issue a deep, thudding sound that shook the very souls of those who heard it.

He was the very picture of an Evil God walking the earth!

"Saber, come!"

Chen Cheng called out sharply, slowly raising his hand.

The long saber, plunged into the ground not far away, suddenly shuddered. Wreathed in the aura of his Great Power Realm, it flew back into his hand.

KLANG!

With a sharp metallic ring, the long saber slid into its sheath.

Chen Cheng rested a hand on the hilt of the long saber at his waist, standing tall. The Qi Blood Power roiling around him slowly subsided, and his expression gradually returned to one of tranquility.

At the sight of this, everyone was stunned into silence, their jaws agape.

The entire area fell suddenly silent!

After a long moment, the crowd finally snapped back to their senses. They couldn’t help but erupt into shouts—cries of amazement and cheers rising and falling, echoing to the heavens!

Xiao Nianci and Xia Lingfeng, who had rushed over, also stared at Chen Cheng, their eyes filled with utter astonishment.

As the crowd’s cheers began to fade, Xiao Nianci finally spoke, her voice tinged with shock. "The Dragon Scale Armor Stance! You’ve actually managed to cultivate the Dragon Scale Armor Stance!"

"I haven’t perfected it yet," Chen Cheng said calmly.

"Indeed, it is not yet perfect." Xiao Nianci’s voice was graver than ever before. "But are you aware of just how difficult it is to cultivate Horizontal Cultivation Techniques like the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt to the point of Perfection?

Even among the Border Guards of Xuanshuo Peak, those who can cultivate the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt to Perfection are few and far between.

As for those who can cultivate the Dragon Scale Armor Stance, you won’t find one in ten thousand!

Even a genius of Zheng Hun’s caliber spent a full decade to cultivate the Dragon Scale Armor Stance!

And yet you... you’ve managed to cultivate the Dragon Scale Armor Stance at only twenty years of age!"

Chen Cheng remained silent.

’Of course he knew how difficult it was to cultivate the Dragon Scale Armor Stance!’

’Never mind the Iron Ball Crown or Stepping on the Edge of the Blade; even the other cultivation Dharma Gates were more than an ordinary Martial Artist could endure.’

’If one’s physique wasn’t strong enough, forcing the cultivation of the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt would only lead to crippling themselves!’

"With your profound mastery of the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt and your exceptional talent for seizing opportunities in combat, Yang Poman and his men didn’t lose without reason.

The ’Rouge Ranking’ from the Sutra of Ultimate Sect... perhaps it was a bit too conservative!"

Xiao Nianci said with deep meaning, then slowly walked back toward the carriage.

"Ah Cheng, you kid, you’re really something else!"

Xia Lingfeng strode forward and clapped Chen Cheng heavily on the shoulder, his rugged face beaming with excitement.

Chen Cheng smiled humbly. "The Border Guards are truly formidable in a real fight. I only managed a narrow victory!"

"Right, right! A narrow victory, that’s all it was!"

Xia Lingfeng roared with laughter. He glanced at Xiao Nianci’s retreating back, then winked at Chen Cheng and whispered:

"You kid, you really know how to hide your strength. You even kept me in the dark!

In that fight just now, I bet you weren’t even going all out, were you?"

Chen Cheng smiled slightly and didn’t answer.

’When it came to a true life-or-death battle, Yang Poman and the other three were indeed terrifyingly strong. Especially the Mental Realm Combined Attack Skill they unleashed together at the end.’

’If it had been allowed to fully form, its power, while perhaps not equal to the Yin Yang Realm unleashed by Su Qiluo and Su Nishang together, wouldn’t have been far from it.’

’If I hadn’t used my Dragon Scale Armor Stance in concert with my Great Power Realm to shatter the Mental Realm Combined Attack Skill before it could solidify, my only option would have been to retreat and temporarily avoid its spearhead.’

’But given the overwhelming, all-crushing power of the Mental Realm Combined Attack Skill, retreating would have inevitably led to injury—it was the worst possible option.’

’Of course, in that fight, if I had held nothing back and struck to kill, Yang Poman and the others likely wouldn’t have been able to withstand a single blow!’

Shen Mingyuan, Shen Qingshuang, Shen Zhiyuan, and the rest of the Shen Family members also cast aside the Government Office’s regulations, stepping out from their formation to join Chen Cheng.
